There a lot of things happen this year, 46 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: and we'll we'll we'll get to the non Charlie Kirk 47 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: division later in the show. But to me, and I'm 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: interested if you all agree, the Charlie Kirk murder for conservatives, 49 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: but really for political culture. 50 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: At large, I think was a story of the year. 51 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 2: Harol will start with you agreed, disagree? 52 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 4: Oh, oh, I agree entirely. I mean it has had 53 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 4: the effects that we're not going to really fully see 54 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 4: or understand for years going on. And it you know, 55 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: and it also I think clarify things for a lot 56 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: of people too, especially some people's reactions to the fascination. 57 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: The reactions are and we can we can dwell on 58 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: that for a long time, just the rank and file 59 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: liberal reaction. But then you had some elite reaction. Uh, Nicole, 60 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: I wanna I'm gonna play a montage. Uh here actually 61 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: a little clip between myself and Montell Williams into it 62 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: on CNN one night. 63 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: His reaction to all this was wild to me. 64 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: But here's Jennings versus Montel Williams on CNN in the 65 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. 66 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 5: Talking about a love torn child, a kid. This is 67 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 5: probably his first real relationship, and somebody was disparaging the 68 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 5: person that he loved. He sat on that building for 69 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 5: thirty minutes before he took the shot. Why do you 70 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 5: wait until the first word trance came up? Then he 71 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 5: took the shot. 72 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 6: You think he heard it, He could hear I think 73 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 6: he could hear it. 74 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 5: I think he also. I don't believe he was motivated politically. 75 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 5: I think this was motivated emotionally. 76 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Guys, Guys, the evidence here is overwhelming, he said, Charlie Kirk, 77 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: I can't stand his hate anymore. 78 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to take him out. 79 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: The testimony from him, in the statements of his family, 80 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: he had become more left wing. 81 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: He etched the. 82 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: Statements that are made by the left about Republicans and 83 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: conservatives and Charlie Kirk fascist on the bullet casing. 84 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: He made a joke about it in his last text. 85 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: But it doesn't sound like a joke to me, because 86 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: someone's dead and about to be buried, so it doesn't 87 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: sound like a joke to me. So I'm just telling 88 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: you there is an effort. There was an effort all 89 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: weekend long on the left to try to make this 90 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: guy sound like he was a conservative that failed, That 91 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: was passed around all over the weekend, that has now failed. 92 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: The evidence has now come out. He was motivated by hate, 93 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: he was motivated by left wing radicalism. He got mixed 94 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: up with some trans ideology in his life. We'll learn 95 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: more about that, I'm sure when more evidence and testimony 96 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: comes out. We are looking around the edges of this 97 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: for something other. 98 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: Than what's staring us in the face. 99 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: Left wing radicalism got this kid. He went up to 100 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: a roof and he murdered our friend. And that's what happens. 101 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: So you can hear there, Montell Williams, you know, really 102 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: kind of minimizing or I think Nicole failing to understand 103 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: just what conservatives were feeling in the moment. 104 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I was quite shocking really to just minimize this 105 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 7: and downplay this whole thing. A man killed another innocent 106 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 7: man in this horrible, tragic assassination, and here is Montel 107 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 7: Williams saying, oh, it was just out of love. He 108 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 7: just was in love with his trans lover and whatever. Nonsense, right, 109 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 7: I mean, we cannot downplay this, especially in such a 110 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 7: political and such political turmoil. We need to come together, 111 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 7: unite and realize how tragic this is and try to 112 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 7: prevent this in the future. And Montell Williams's comments really 113 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 7: did not help in this kind of situation. 114 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, what I later said on the show, and I'm 115 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: going to play it now, is I just don't think 116 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: liberals understood how angry conservatives were. I mean I initially 117 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: felt fear and then I felt anger. I mean, I 118 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: think we all went through this range of emotions about it, sadness, fear, anger. 119 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,119 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna play this. Here's me trying to channel 120 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: the emotions of conservatives about how angry we were. 121 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: I am angry, and I'm just telling I am channeling the. 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: Emotions of millions of conservatives who are angry. They knew Charlie, 123 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: They loved Charlie. They viewed Charlie as a mainstream conservative, 124 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: Republican voice who talked about issues that millions of Americans believe. 125 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: He also talked about his faith, and he did it 126 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: by going to college campuses, which are not normally hospitable 127 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: to conservatives, and offering his opponents a microphone to have 128 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: what we always say, what civil discourse. 129 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 5: Not only that it's part of the First Amendment and 130 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 5: guess what sure, and that people had an opportunity in 131 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 5: a room and talk. 132 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: He was murdered trying to do what we always say, 133 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: why don't we talk to each other? So, yes, there is. 134 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: It's not even been a week, so you're gonna have 135 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: to give us a little grace on being angry about 136 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: somebody who did what you always say that we should do, 137 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: let's talk, and he got killed. 138 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: Jason, I'll turn to you. 139 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: Uh, you your reaction to that, and then I also 140 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: want to get to the Erica Kirk part of this, 141 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: because the murder itself was terrible, uh and uh, but 142 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: then what Erica did in the aftermath of that, I 143 00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: think was remarkable. 144 00:06:59,360 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: Jason. 145 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you did a great job of channeling 146 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 8: the anger. I think it was absolutely infuriating how that happened. 147 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 8: It just innocent man debating students on campus and the 148 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 8: fact that the security didn't stop him, and it was 149 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 8: just absolutely infuriating and said, and the way the left 150 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 8: tried to make it seem like the alleged assassin was 151 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 8: a right winger or even celebrating it. It was just awful. 152 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 8: And I don't think the left understood how angry and 153 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 8: how much it affected conservatives. 154 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Erica Kirk, though in the aftermath of all of this, 155 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it was so remarkable what she did. Let's 156 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: hear Erica at the Charlie Kirk Memorial forgiving the shooter 157 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: Tyler Robinson, my. 158 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 6: Husband, Charlie. He wanted to save. 159 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 4: Young men, just like the one who took life. 160 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 6: On the cross. 161 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 9: Our Savior said, Father, forgive them for they not know 162 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 9: what they do. 163 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 6: That man, that young man, I forgive him. 164 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about what she did there, 165 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, and then you know, also with Erica, not 166 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: only does she show an enormous amount of grace and 167 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: was a role model for Christians and Christian behavior all 168 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: over the world. Look what she was putting up with, 169 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: in my opinion, from the left, people accusing her of 170 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: doing things.

I mean, not only 256 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 7: is he not taking any accountability and trying to defend 257 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 7: the Somalis, but he even there's even one point during 258 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 7: a press conference where he turned around on white men 259 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 7: and said like, oh, well, white men are committing crimes too. 260 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 7: It's like, well, that's not the point, Tim, The point 261 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 7: is that this is happening in your state and you're 262 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 7: not doing anything about it, and you're and you're responsible 263 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 7: for all this. So I mean, how can you not 264 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 7: take accountability, and then you have other Democrats at Gilhan 265 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 7: Omar who is not taking any accountability and defending this. 266 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 7: Even have the Boston mayor now who was saying, oh, 267 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 7: Somalis are so good for our city and they're contributing 268 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 7: so much, and it's like, why can't you guys just 269 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 7: side with the rest of the country and actually take 270 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 7: accountability and realize that this is a real problem. 271 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 272 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: Omar said something Jason Cohen that was just amazing to 273 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: me that basically the laws around Medicaid were written without 274 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: proper guardrails. 275 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: So how can we expect people to just not steal 276 00:13:59,440 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: the money? 277 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: If we didn't write the laws properly, we should expect 278 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: them to steal the money. 279 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: It was the craziest explanation for this. 280 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Jason, Is this the 281 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 1: corruption story of the year? I think it is. Democrats 282 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: like to howl about Trump and corruption all the time. 283 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: In my opinion, nine billion coming out of medicaid probably 284 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: more looking at it in other places. 285 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: Is this the corruption story of the year in your opinion? 286 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, with a number like nine billion, and if it 287 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 8: is indeed in so many different states, I don't see 288 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 8: how it could not be, and it's just terrible, like 289 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 8: the examples you got shared of Eleano mar and Tim 290 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 8: Walls just not taking any accountability and deflecting it. And 291 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 8: I think a lot of people want to see not 292 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 8: just them take accountability, but see some legal accountability for 293 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 8: them if they really did know about it and look 294 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 8: the other way. So I think it's frustrating the fact 295 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 8: that there's no personal or legal accountability as of now 296 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 8: with such a huge corruption scandal. So we'll see what happens. 297 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I when this all was popping the other day 298 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: and the nine billion number came out, I actually posted 299 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: on my ex account you know what public official is 300 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: going to jail and win? I mean somebody in a 301 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: position of responsibility has to go to jail. I mean 302 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: you can't can't just do the low level you know 303 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: operators here. Somebody in a position of public trust has 304 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: to go to jail. And then Elon retweeted or reposted 305 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: or whatever, and it got like forty something million views. 306 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: I think people out there are desperate for corruption to 307 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: be punished. This is real corruption and it's real money, 308 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: and it of course ties into what Trump's been talking. 309 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: About regarding our immigration and failures. 310 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: All right, I'm having a chat with Stories of the 311 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: Year with our friends from the Daily Caller News Foundation. 312 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: When we come back Stories of the Year non Charlie 313 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: Kirk edition, we got a big list of him. 314 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: Stay with us here on the Scott Denti. 315 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: Angel Tree Christmas campaign with our friends at the nonprofit 316 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 3: Prison Fellowship.

Again, it's Scott Jennings here on the 390 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: Salem Radio Network. My special guests today are my special 391 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: friends from the Daily Caller News Foundation. This is the 392 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: media reporting crew from the Daily Caller, Harold Hutchison, Nicole Silverio, 393 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: and Jason Cohen. We're kicking around what we think are 394 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: the big stories of the year, and at the top 395 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: of the show. I think we all agree that the 396 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: murder of Charlie Kirk this year was just something that 397 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: was sort of all encompassing. But for the next few minutes, 398 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about the other top stories of 399 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: the year, non Charlie, addition, things that jump out to 400 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: you as just being a cut above other big political 401 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: news stories. Jason, I'm going to start with you. For you, 402 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: what is it, what's your non Charlie top political story 403 00:19:59,280 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: of the year? 404 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 8: Mine is Jasmine Crockett's rise and her Senate run. So 405 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 8: she really just surged to prominence with really inflammatory attacks 406 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 8: on Republicans, like calling Governor Greg Abbott who's in a wheelchair, 407 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 8: Governor Hawt Wheels, calling Trump Timu Hitler wanna be Hitler, 408 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 8: just really really hardcore stuff. And she was in a 409 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 8: really blue district in the House, and now the redistricting 410 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 8: is happening, so she's running statewide in Texas, which is 411 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 8: a way different story. 412 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 4: You would think she would try to appeal to. 413 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 8: More Republicans and be more moderate and have a good platform, 414 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 8: but so far, it was an interesting launch. She had 415 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 8: a rapper performed and she right before the launch, she 416 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 8: accused Lee Zelden of getting donations from Jeffrey Epstein, insinuating 417 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 8: that it was from the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but it 418 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 8: was actually from a doctor. 419 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 4: So she's had all. 420 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 8: These wild moments and now she can't even articulate a 421 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 8: policy platform. I hit a clip of that yesterday at 422 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 8: the MS NOW. Host tried to give her an opportunity. 423 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 8: She's like, I really want to give you this opportunity. 424 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 8: Your announcement speech was so light on policy. Can you 425 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 8: just name a couple of policies? The only thing she 426 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 8: named was raising the minimum wage. On top of that, 427 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 8: she's just like, we need to hold Trump accountable on tariffs, 428 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 8: we need to impose ethics on the Supreme Court. Just like, 429 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 8: no specific concrete policies, so I think, and she got 430 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 8: pretty heated about Jade Vance calling her out for having 431 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 8: a fake street girl persona. 432 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 433 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: The Crockett story this year has been fascinating, you know 434 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: she I think she actually is the highest IQ Democrat. 435 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: And here's why. 436 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: I believe that she realized after the election there was 437 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: a total vacuum in their party. And I'm not sure 438 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: there has been a more booked cable presence for Democrats 439 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: than Jasmine Crockett. I mean, others get out there, but 440 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: I gotta believe she's longed the most green room minutes 441 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: of any Democrat this year and look culminated in running 442 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: for the US Senate. 443 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 2: And by the way, I think she's gonna win. 444 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: I know all the Democrats want taller Rico, but oh yeah, 445 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: prim the professional Democrats want Tallery. 446 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 2: I don't know. 447 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems to me that this performance radicalism 448 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: is kind of kind of what they want. But I 449 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: agree with you, the rise of Jasmine Crockett as the 450 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: most prominent Democrat in America is. 451 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: A huge story. 452 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: Nicole Silverio, what is your big story, non, Charlie kirk condition. 453 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 7: I think that it's the fudging of the crime stats, 454 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 7: especially in DC and other major cities across this country. 455 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 7: You had Democrats and the corporate media saying over and 456 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 7: over again, oh, Trump has no reason to play the 457 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 7: National Guard in DC because crime is going down. Look, 458 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 7: crime is down. Crime is down? Really because Janine Piro, 459 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 7: the US attorney for DC, did a whole investigation and 460 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 7: announced recently that they did find that, in fact, crime 461 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 7: stats were fudge left out some sorts of violent crime, 462 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 7: like I believe aggress some I don't have it on 463 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 7: top of my head, but they. 464 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: Like aggravated assault, you know, physic nature, and they were down. 465 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 7: And so the FBI even had a whole different percentage 466 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 7: of numbers when it came to these crime stats. So 467 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 7: we know that these were fudged. And it turns out 468 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 7: that most Americans in these big cities actually are happy 469 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 7: that Trump did this and is deployed a national guide 470 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 7: because crime is now going down by significant rates because 471 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 7: of this. So the corporate media and the Democrats kind 472 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 7: of failed their messaging here. 473 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the story of Trump kind of taking 474 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: control of DC because of crime, uh, finding out later 475 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: about the cooking of the books on crime stats, which, 476 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: by the way, I am convinced we're going to find 477 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: out is going on in other cities, and so is 478 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: Congress former by the way, oversight the shooting of the 479 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: National Guard in BC. So this whole storyline this year 480 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: about what's going on in DC, how Trump engaged with it. 481 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: I think the American people are with him, and of 482 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: course they use the National Guard in other places that 483 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: have had high crime. Sometimes the mayors and the Democrats 484 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: there didn't want it, and in some cases they did, 485 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: But I agree with you. This whole big city crime 486 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: crime stats using the National Guard. To me, huge story. 487 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: Harold Hutchison, what's your big story of the year. 488 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 4: I'd probably probably say say it's kind of it's a 489 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 4: two way tie between the cover up of Biden's decline 490 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 4: that's merging and the epscene files and the release, and 491 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 4: the way the Democrats have became such a so born 492 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 4: again on wanting to transparency the the cover up of 493 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 4: Biden's health. To me, what was the one thing that 494 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 4: stood out wasn't so much any appearance by someone in 495 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 4: the media. This was a clip that I don't think 496 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: a lot of people noticed, but at one point Fox 497 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 4: News as Jackie Heinrich was subbing for Dana Preno, and 498 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 4: they were talking a bit about what was happening, and 499 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 4: she basically described how the Biden press office was abusing 500 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 4: and she used the word abused describe what was happening 501 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 4: to these reporters, and it's just in the you know. 502 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 4: And to me, what what jumped out about it was 503 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 4: not only were they covering up the health, there was 504 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 4: a level of hypocrisy because when Biden took office, he 505 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 4: was you know, and he was addressing his staff at 506 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 4: the beginning, like you know, he was basically telling his folks, 507 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 4: I'm not going to tolerate you bullying people. I'm not 508 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 4: going to tolerate you, you know, being toxic to people. 509 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 4: And yet you've now got this Boxings correspondent pursuing a 510 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: legitimate story, and she's saying Biden's pressed office abused her 511 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 4: because you know, was telling her she was not a 512 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 4: good reporter, et cetera, exactly, you know, because she was 513 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 4: doing what a darn good reporter would do. 514 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: You know that I think, I think this story and 515 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of gone away now because Biden's 516 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: been out of office for a year and he doesn't 517 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: do much now. But what you're bringing up, plus the 518 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: revelations and the Tapper Alex Thompson book, everything we know 519 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: now is that there was a cover up. There was 520 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: a willful, sort of coordinated operation inside the Biden White 521 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: House to obscure the truth from the American people about 522 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: the capacities of Joe Biden. And then when you connect 523 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: that to the investigation the Oversight Committee did about did 524 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: he actually know what he was signing with the auto pen? 525 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: Was he aware of all the pardons? Was he aware 526 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: of all the executive orders? When you consider the level 527 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: of executive activity that was going on at the end 528 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 1: of Biden and now we know what was going on 529 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: with his health, Harold, I mean to me, the whole 530 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: storyline here, the Biden cover. 531 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: Up is huge on Epstein. 532 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: This is still unfolding, of course, because the Epstein files 533 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: are coming out from the Department of Justice. But it 534 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: seems to me part of the storyline here is all 535 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: year long, Democrats wanted this to be just a story 536 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: about Trump and Epstein. And what we learned is there's 537 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats in Epstein in there. We learned 538 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: he was programming Stacy Plasket. We learned he was in 539 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: touch often with Larry Summers. We see pictures of Bill 540 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: Clinton in a pool, and so I'm actually not sure 541 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: this didn't blow up in their face. 542 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 2: You know, the Democrats were all over this. 543 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 4: Was It wasn't in one way it was blowing you know, 544 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 4: you know, I could tell it was going to blow 545 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 4: up in their face.

You know, one of the things 661 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 4: in entertainment, you know, with entertainment is it can actually 662 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 4: be used to help enhance what a human creates or 663 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 4: to implement it a lot cheaper. So in one sense, 664 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 4: it could democratize you know, filmmaking et cetera. Has at 665 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 4: one point had to you know, shut down a Power 666 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 4: Rangers fan film production because the AI was making it 667 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 4: look too professional. But you also have a lot you know, 668 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 4: it's as quick this question of will AI replace humans? 669 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 4: Will it supplement them? You know, there's going to be 670 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 4: a lot to hash out, and it's you know, and 671 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 4: even as we get the AI boom that for the economy, 672 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 4: people are going to have to sort a lot of 673 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 4: things out. Yeah, it's constructive. 674 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, this to me is still emerging. 675 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: You know, most Americans I think are fearful of what 676 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: AI is going to do. I mean a lot of people, 677 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: I think rightfully are wondering is it going to take 678 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: my job? 679 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: Is it? 680 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: And you know, unlike other for technological booms in our 681 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: country's history, this one is predominantly, I think, going to 682 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: affect the white collar class, not the blue collar class, 683 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: but this creator class. I mean I went to a 684 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Google thing this year and I watched like a four 685 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: or five minute movie that they had made completely out 686 00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: of AI. 687 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 2: You could not tell the difference. 688 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean it was I mean it was crazy, how 689 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: crisp and how good it was. And you know what 690 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: does this mean, you know, for our creator culture. 691 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 2: I don't know.
