I thought we might just 41 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: kind of have a chat today about the stories of 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: the year, and the top story of the year, in 43 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: my opinion, was the Charlie Kirk murder. There a lot 44 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: of things happen this year, and we'll we'll we'll get 45 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: to the non Charlie Kirk division later in the show. 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: But to me, and I'm interested if you all agree, 47 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: the Charlie Kirk murder for conservatives, but really for political 48 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: culture at large, I think was a story of the year. 49 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: Harol will start with you agreed, disagree? 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 3: Oh, oh, I agree entirely. I mean it has had. 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 4: The facts that we're not going to really fully see 52 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 4: or understand for years going on, and it you know, 53 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 4: and it also I think clarify things for a lot 54 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: of people too, especially some people's reactions to theasination. 55 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: The reactions are and we can we can dwell on 56 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: that for a long time, just the rank and file 57 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: liberal reaction. But then you had some elite reaction. Uh, Nicole, 58 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: I wanna I'm gonna play a montage. 59 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 5: Uh. 60 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: Here actually a little clip between myself and Montell Williams. 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: We got into it on CNN one. His reaction to 62 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: all this was wild to me. But here's Jennings versus 63 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Montel Williams on CNN in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. 64 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 6: Talking about a love torn child, a kid. This is 65 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 6: probably his first real relationship and somebody was disparaging the 66 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 6: person that he loved. He sat on that building for 67 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 6: thirty minutes before he took the shot. Why do you 68 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 6: wait until the first word trans came up? 69 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 7: Then he took the shot. 70 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: You think he heard it, He could hear I. 71 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 6: Think he could hear it. I think he also. I 72 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 6: don't believe he was motivated politically. I think this was 73 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 6: motivated emotionally. 74 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: Guys, Guys, the evidence here is overwhelming, he said, Charlie Kirk, 75 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: I can't stand his hate anymore. I'm going to take 76 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: him out. The testimony from him, in the statements of 77 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: his family, he had become more left wing. 78 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: He etched the statements that are made. 79 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: By the left about Republicans and conservatives and Charlie Kirk 80 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: fascist on the bullet casing. 81 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 6: And made a joke about it in his last text. 82 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: But it doesn't sound like a joke to me, because 83 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: someone's dead and about to be buried, So it doesn't 84 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: sound like a joke to me. So I'm just telling 85 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: you there is an effort. There was an effort all 86 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: weekend long on the left to try to make this 87 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: guy sound like he was a conservative that failed, That 88 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: was passed around all over the weekend, that has now failed. 89 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: The evidence has now come out he was motivated by hate, 90 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,119 Speaker 1: he was motivated by left wing radicalism. He got mixed 91 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: up with some trans ideology in his life. We'll learn 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: more about that, I'm sure when more evidence and testimony 93 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: comes out. We are looking around the edges of this 94 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: for something other than. 95 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: What's staring us in the face. 96 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: Left wing radicalism got this kid. He went up to 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: a roof and he murdered our friend. And that's what happens. 98 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: So you can hear there, Montell Williams, you know, really 99 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: kind of minimizing or I think Nicole failing to understand 100 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: just what conservatives were feeling in the moment. 101 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, it was quite shocking really to just minimize this 102 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 8: and downplay this whole thing. A man killed another innocent 103 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 8: man in this horrible, tragic assassination, and here is Montel 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 8: Williams saying, oh, it was just out of love. He 105 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 8: just was in love with his trans lover and whatever. Nonsense, right, 106 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 8: I mean, we cannot downplay this, especially in such a 107 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 8: political and such political turmoil. We need to come together, 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 8: unite and realize how tragic this is and try to 109 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 8: prevent this in the future. And Montell Williams' comments really 110 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 8: did not help in this kind of situation. 111 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, what I later said on the show, and I'm 112 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: going to play it now, is I. 113 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: Just don't think liberals understood how angry conservatives were. I 114 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: mean I initially felt fear and then I felt anger. 115 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we all went through this range 116 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: of emotions about it, sadness, fear, anger. But I'm going 117 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: to play this here's me trying to channel the emotions 118 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: of conservatives about how angry we were. I am angry, 119 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: and I'm just telling I am channeling the emotions of 120 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: millions of conservatives who are angry. They knew Charlie, They 121 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: loved Charlie. They viewed Charlie as a mainstream conservative, Republican 122 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: voice who talked about issues that millions of Americans believe. 123 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: He also talked about his faith, and he did it 124 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: by going to college campuses, which are not normally hospitable 125 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: to conservatives, and offering his opponents a microphone to have 126 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: what we always say, what civil discourse, not only that 127 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: part of the First Amendment? And guess what sure that 128 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: people had an opportunity in a room and talk. He 129 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: was murdered trying to do what we always say, Why 130 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: don't we talk to each other, So yes, there is. 131 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: It's not even been a week, so you're gonna have 132 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: to give us a little grace on being angry about 133 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: somebody who did what you always say that we should do. 134 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: Let's talk, and he got kicked. Jason, I'll turn to you. 135 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: Uh, you're your reaction to that, And then I also 136 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: want to get to the Erica Kirk part of this, 137 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: because the murder itself was terrible. Uh and uh, but 138 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: then what Erica did in the aftermath of that, I 139 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: think was remarkable. 140 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: Jason. 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you did a great job of channeling 142 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 9: the anger. I think it was absolutely infuriating how that happened. 143 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 9: It just innocent debating students on campus, and the fact 144 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 9: that the security didn't stop him, and it was just 145 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 9: absolutely infuriating and said, and the way the left tried 146 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 9: to make it seem like the alleged assassin was a 147 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 9: right winger or even celebrating it. It was just awful. 148 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 9: And I don't think the left understood how angry and 149 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 9: how much it affected conservatives. 150 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Erica Kirk though, in the aftermath of all of this, 151 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it was so remarkable what she did. Let's 152 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: hear Erica at the Charlie Kirk Memorial forgiving the shooter 153 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: Tyler Robinson. 154 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: My husband, Charlie. 155 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 5: He wanted to save. 156 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: Young men. 157 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 5: Just like the one who took his life life. 158 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: On the cross. 159 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 7: Our Savior said, Father, forgive them, for they not know 160 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 7: what they do. 161 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 5: That man, that young man, I forgive him. 162 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about what she did there, 163 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean, and then you know, also with Erica, not 164 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: only does she show an enormous amount of grace and 165 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: was a role model for Christians and Christian behavior all 166 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: over the world. Look what she was putting up with, 167 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: in my opinion, from the left, people accusing her of 168 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: doing things. And then you had Candace. I mean, let's 169 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: be honest, terrorizing I think Erica for months and months 170 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: and month. It's what she has gone through this year 171 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: has been nothing short of just terrible.

As I understand it, Tim Waltz certain rags 220 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 4: about their generosity. These program you know, scammers, most of 221 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 4: them smally started basically pull you know, grifting the money away. 222 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: They were it was like the usual type of scams 223 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: out there, service is not rendered that you know, they 224 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 4: were over billing stuff. There were some state whistle wars 225 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 4: who tried to raise the alarm and were you know, 226 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 4: and they alleged that they were retaliated against by Waltz 227 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 4: and others in his administration. 228 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: You know, Treasury Department is investigating. 229 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 4: Whether some of the proceeds of these scams went to 230 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: the radical Islamic terrorist group Al Shabab yich it's in Somalia. 231 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 4: And at this point, you know, and it first was said, oh, 232 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 4: this is about a billion. Now they're saying nine billion. 233 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: And it's now not just turning up in. 234 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: Minnesota, although that that's where where some of the bigger 235 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 4: ones are. 236 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: They're now mister. 237 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 4: Lauris in Maine, in Ohio also saying, hey, we're getting 238 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 4: these scams too. 239 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: Oh I thising, Harold. 240 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: When all is said and done here, we're going to 241 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: find stuff like this is going on. 242 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: In blue states all over the country. 243 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: Because one thing we learned in Minneapolis is is that 244 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: even when they knew about the corruption, they look the 245 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: other way because they didn't want to appear racist or whatever. 246 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: Nicole and and I you know, so we know about 247 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: the corruption. Now we know some of the people involved. 248 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,119 Speaker 1: The next shoe to drop here is which public officials 249 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: in Minnesota knew about this look the other way, decided 250 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: to turn a blind eye toward it, condone it, or whatever. 251 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean to me, Tim Walls, the governor, and Keith Ellison, 252 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: the Attorney General, are more than implicated already in the 253 00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: covering up of this. 254 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 8: You agree, completely agree, And it's staggering to me how 255 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 8: Tim Wallas is responding to this. I mean, not only 256 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 8: is he not taking any accountability and trying to defend 257 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 8: the Somalis, but he even there's even one point during 258 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 8: a press conference where he turned it around on white 259 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 8: men and said like, oh, well, white men are committing 260 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 8: crimes too. It's like, well, that's not the point, Tim, 261 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 8: The point is that this is happening in your state 262 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 8: and you're not doing anything about it, and you're and 263 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 8: you're responsible for all this. So I mean, how can 264 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 8: you not take accountability? And then you have other Democrats 265 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 8: at gilhan Omar who is not taking any accountability and 266 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 8: defending this even have the Boston mayor now who was saying, Oh, 267 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 8: Somalis are so good for our city and they're contributing 268 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 8: so much. It's like, why can't you guys just side 269 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 8: with the rest of the country and actually take accountability 270 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 8: and realize that this is a real problem. 271 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 272 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: Omar said something Jason Cohen that was just amazing to 273 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: me that basically the laws around medicaid were written without 274 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: proper guardrails. So how can we expect people to just 275 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: not steal the money. If we can write the laws properly, 276 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: we should expect them to steal the money. It was 277 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: the craziest explanation for this. Let me ask you a question, Jason, 278 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: Is this the corruption story of the year? 279 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: I think it is. 280 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: Democrats like to howl about Trump and corruption all the time. 281 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: In my opinion, nine building in coming out of Medicaid, 282 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: probably more looking at it in other places. 283 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: Is this the corruption story of the year in your opinion? 284 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 9: Yeah? With a number like nine billion, and if it is, 285 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 9: indeed in so many different states, I don't see how 286 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 9: it could not be. And it's just terrible. Like the 287 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 9: examples you guys shared of Eleano Maar and Tim walls 288 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 9: just not taking any accountability and deflecting it. And I 289 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 9: think a lot of people want to see not just 290 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 9: them take accountability, but see some legal accountability for them 291 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 9: if they really did know about it and look the 292 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 9: other way. So I think it's frustrating the fact that 293 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 9: there's no personal or legal accountability as of now with 294 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 9: such a huge corruption scandal. So we'll see what happens. 295 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I when this all was popping the other day 296 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: and the nine billion number came out, I actually posted 297 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: on i X account, you know what public official is 298 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: going to jail and win? I mean, somebody in a 299 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: position of responsibility has to go to jail. I mean 300 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: you can't can't just do the low level you know 301 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: operators here. Somebody in a position of public trust has 302 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: to go to jail. And then Elon retweeted or reposted 303 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: or whatever, and it got like forty something million views. 304 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: I think people out there are desperate for corruption to 305 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: be punished. This is real corruption and it's real money, 306 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: and it of course ties into what Trump's been talking 307 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: about regarding our immigration and failures. 308 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: All Right, I'm having a. 309 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: Chat with Stories of the Year with our friends from 310 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Again, it's Scott Jennings here on the Salem 391 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: Radio Network. My special guests today are my special friends 392 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: from the Daily Caller News Foundation. This is the media 393 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: reporting crew from the Daily Caller, Harold Hutchison, Nicole Silverio, 394 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: and Jason Cohen. We're kicking around what we think are 395 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: the big stories of the year, and at the top 396 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: of the show, I think we all agree that the 397 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: murder of Charlie Kirk this year was just something that 398 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: was sort of all encompassing. But for the next few minutes, 399 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about the other top stories of 400 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: the year, non Charlie, addition, things that jump out to 401 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: you as just being a cut above other big political 402 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: news stories. 403 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 2: Jason, I'm going to start with you. For you, what 404 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: is it? What's your non Charlie top political story of the. 405 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 9: Year, minus Jasmine Crocketts rise and her Senate run. So 406 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 9: she really just surged to prominence with really inflammatory attacks 407 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 9: on Republicans, like calling Governor Greg Abbott who's in a wheelchair, 408 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 9: Governor hat Wheels, calling Trump Timu Hitler wanna be Hitler, 409 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 9: just really really hardcore stuff. And she was in a 410 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 9: really blue district in the House, and now the redistricting 411 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 9: is happening, so she's running statewide in Texas, which is 412 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 9: a way different story. You would think she would try 413 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 9: to appeal to more Republicans and be more moderate and 414 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 9: have a good platform, But so far, it was an 415 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 9: interesting launch. She had a rapper performed and she right 416 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 9: before the launch, she accused Lee Zalden of getting donations 417 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 9: from Jeffrey Epstein insinuating that it was from the pedophile 418 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 9: Jeffrey Epstein, but it was actually from a doctor. So 419 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 9: she's had all these wild moments and now she can't 420 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 9: even articulate a policy platform. I hit a clip of 421 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 9: that yesterday at the MS NOW. 422 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 3: Host tried to give her an opportunity. 423 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 9: She's like, I really want to give you this opportunity. 424 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 9: Your announcement speech was so light on policy. Can you 425 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 9: just name a couple of policies? The only thing she 426 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 9: named was raising the minimum wage. On top of that, 427 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 9: she's just like, we need to hold Trump accountable on tariffs, 428 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 9: we need to imposed ethics on the Supreme Court. Just like, 429 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 9: no specific concrete policies, so I think, and she got 430 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 9: pretty heated about Jade Vance calling her out for having 431 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 9: a fake street girl persona. 432 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Crockett story this year has been fascinating, you 433 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: know she I think she actually is the highest IQ Democrat. 434 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: And here's why. 435 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: I believe that she realized after the election there was 436 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: a total vacuum in their party. And I'm not sure 437 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: there has been a more booked cable presence for Democrats 438 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: than Jasmine Crockett. I mean, others get out there, but 439 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: I gotta believe the most green room minutes of any 440 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: Democrat this year and look culminated in running for the 441 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: US Senate. 442 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, I think she's gonna win. 443 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: I know all the Democrats want taller Rico, but oh yeah, 444 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: the prime the professional democrats want Tallery. 445 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. 446 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems to me that this performance radicalism 447 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: is kind of kind of what they want. But I 448 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: agree with you, the rise of Jasmine Crockett as the 449 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: most prominent Democrat in America is a huge story. Nicole Silverio, 450 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: what is your big story? Non Charlie kirk ndition. 451 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 8: I think that it's the fudging of the crime stats, 452 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 8: especially in DC and other major cities across this country. 453 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 8: You had Democrats and the corporate media saying over and 454 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 8: over again, oh, Trump has no reason to play the 455 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 8: National Guard in DC because crime is going down. Look, 456 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 8: crime is down. Crime is down. Really because Janine Piro, 457 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 8: the US Attorney for DC, did a whole investigation and 458 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 8: announced recently that they did find that, in fact, crime 459 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 8: stats were fudged. They left out some sorts of violent crime, 460 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 8: like I believe aggress some I don't have it on 461 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 8: top of my head, but they. 462 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: Like aggravated assault, you know, and they were down. 463 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 8: And so the FBI even had a whole different percentage 464 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 8: of numbers when it came to these crime stats. So 465 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 8: we know that these were fudged. And it turns out 466 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 8: that most Americans in these big cities actually are happy 467 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 8: that Trump did this and is deployed a national guide 468 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 8: because crime is now going down by significant rates because 469 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 8: of this. So the corporate media and the Democrats kind 470 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 8: of failed their messaging here. 471 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the story of Trump kind of taking 472 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: control of DC because of crime, uh, finding out later 473 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: about the cooking of the books on crime stats, which, 474 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: by the way, I am convinced we're going to find 475 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: out is going on in other cities, and so is 476 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: Congress former by the way, at oversight the. 477 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 2: Shooting of the National Guard in DC. 478 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: So this whole storyline this year about what's going on 479 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: in DC, how Trump engaged with it. I think the 480 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: American people are with him, and of course they use 481 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: the National Guard in other places that have had high crime. 482 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: Sometimes the mayors and the Democrats there didn't want it, 483 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: and in some cases they did. But I agree with you, 484 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: this whole big city crime crime stats using the National Guard. 485 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: To me, huge story, Harold Hutchison, what's your big story 486 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: of the year. 487 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 4: I'd probably probably say say, it's kind of it's a 488 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 4: two way tie between the cover up of Biden's decline 489 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 4: that's merging and the apscene files and the release, and 490 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 4: the way the Democrats have became such a so born 491 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 4: again on wanting to transparency the the cover up of 492 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 4: Biden's health. To me, what was the one thing that 493 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 4: stood out wasn't so much any appearance by someone in 494 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 4: the media. This was a clip that I don't think 495 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 4: a lot of people noticed, but at one point Fox 496 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 4: News is Jack Behindrich was subbing for Dana Preno, and 497 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 4: they were talking a bit about what was happening, and 498 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 4: she basically described how the Biden press office was abusing 499 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 4: and she used the word abused describe what was happening 500 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 4: to these reporters, and it's just in the you know. 501 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 4: And to me, what what jumped out about it was 502 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: not only were they covering up the health, there was 503 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 4: a level of hypocrisy because when Biden took office, he 504 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 4: was you know, and he was addressing his staff at 505 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 4: the beginning, but you know, he was basically telling his folks, 506 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 4: I'm not going to tolerate you bullying people. I'm not 507 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 4: going to tolerate you, you. 508 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: Know, being toxic to people. 509 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 4: And yet you've now got this boxing correspondent pursuing a 510 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 4: legitimate story, and she's saying Biden's pressed office abused her because, 511 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 4: you know, was telling her she was not a good reporter, 512 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 4: et cetera, exactly, you know, because she was doing what 513 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 4: a darn good reporter would do. 514 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: You know that, I think I think this story and 515 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of gone away now because Biden's 516 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: been out of office for a year and he doesn't 517 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: do much now. But what you're bringing up, plus the 518 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: revelations and the Tapper Alex Thompson book, everything we know 519 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: now is. 520 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 2: That there was a cover up. 521 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: There was a willful, sort of coordinated operation inside the 522 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: Biden White House to obscure the truth from the American 523 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: people about the capacities of Joe Biden. And then when 524 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: you connect that to the investigation the Oversight Committee did 525 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: about did he actually know what he was signing with 526 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: the auto pen? Was he aware of all the pardons? 527 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: Was he aware of all the executive orders? When you 528 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: consider the level of executive activity that was going on 529 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: at the end of Biden, and now we know what 530 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: was going on with his health. Harold, I mean to me, 531 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: the whole storyline here, the Biden cover up, is huge 532 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: on Epstein. This is still unfolding, of course, because the 533 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: Epstein files are coming out. 534 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 2: From the Department of Justice. 535 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: But it seems to me part of the storyline here 536 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: is all year long, Democrats wanted this to be just 537 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: a story about Trump and Epstein. And what we learned 538 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: is there's a lot of Democrats in Epstein in there. 539 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: We learned he was programming Stacy Plaskin, We learned he 540 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: was in touch often with Larry Summers. We see pictures 541 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: of Bill Clinton in a pool, and so I'm actually 542 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: not sure this didn't blow up in their face. 543 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: You know, the Democrats were all over this. 544 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 4: Was It wasn't in one way it was blowing you know, 545 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 4: you know, I could tell it was going to blow 546 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 4: up in their face.

So for some part of the year, 621 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: the American Eagle jeans at campaign had everybody going crazy. 622 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: Republicans came to believe that Sydney was one of us. 623 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: Then she took down a reporter. At the end of 624 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: the year, she had quite a year as it relates 625 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: to just sort of being in the public eye and 626 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: being in the media spotlight. 627 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: Is Sidney Sweeney the biggest entertainment story of the year? 628 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 8: One thousand percent? 629 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 2: Yes? 630 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 8: And you got to kick it to Sydney Sweeney.
