Speaker 2: Clashes in Minneapolis have continued into today after a second

22

Speaker 2: streets confronting federal agents and ongoing protests that have now

24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: stretched across the city discuss that with an expert today,

25
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: also turning Point USA Frontlines delivering breaking news on the ground,

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: reporting from violent protests, featuring raw footage and uncentered coverage

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: exposing the tactics used.

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: To convert Americans to Islam.

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: I'll bring on the investigatory reporter behind that story discussed

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: as well. Then later I'll grabbed the mailbag and read

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: some of the emails that you the people have sent

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: directly to me right here on Live TV. Is your

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: name on the list? You have to wait and find out.

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Looks like we've got some good ones today. All that

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: and more, including Tyler Robinson is going to be in

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: a Utah courtroom today where arguments will be made to

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: disqualify the prosecutors, as well as President John's participation in

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: the Southern Boulevard dedications.

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Crebody.

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: So stay tuned for all of the latest, But first

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: we start with Iran. The cry of freedom is in

42
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: every human soul, as evidenced in the nation of around

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: where they're willing to die rather than live oppressed any longer.

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Were there one to stand up to bullets and batons

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: with empty hands and scream for freedom, Give me liberty

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: or give me death.

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: It's not just an American ideal, it's a human one.

48
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: The people are taking to the streets trying to be

49
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: part of something bigger than themselves, even if it cost

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: them their lives, and the cost has been high so far. Thousands,

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: maybe even tens of thousands according to some estimates, have

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: been killed as the Islamic regime has cracked down.

53
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Viciously on these protests.

54
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: It's hard to know just how costly this fight has

55
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: been because the Islamic regime has cut all access to

56
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: the Internet. Only a few with access to starlink have

57
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: been able to get any word out at all in

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: the last couple of days. When the Internet has cut

59
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: the violence happens in silence. We are being targeted because

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: this regime of fears truth, visibility, and unity of course

61
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: being seen saving lives, which is what Elon Musk has

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: been trying to do by making starlink available there for free.

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: He's trying to help these people people.

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: But the Internet can only do so much against the

65
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: regime that is dead set on retaining its power no

66
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: matter the cost and the number of human lives. This

67
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: is the kind of evil we're dealing with. This is

68
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: viral footage coming out of Iran. It's the Islamic regimes

69
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: military storming a hospital just to get the protesters who

70
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: survived the initial crackdown.

71
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Can you believe this?

72
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: These murderers tear gassed tear gas the place, fired live weapons,

73
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: smashed down doors, and dragged out the wounded protesters we're

74
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: trying to survive.

75
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Staff and patients were beaten with batons in the process.

76
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: This is the kind of evil that we cannot even

77
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: fathom here in the United States. This is the kind

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: of evil that all social justice warriors should be up

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: in arms about. But of course they're not. Where are

80
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: all the free Palestine protesters? Where are all the rallies

81
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: and the signs and the chants and the cheers. Where

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: are the Iranian flags in the streets? Nowhere to be found.

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: And you know why, you know why pro Palestindians can't

84
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: get behind freeing Iran because the same ideology that enslaved

85
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: Iran is the one they're standing behind in their support

86
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: for Palestine. Life is more passionate about standing up for

87
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: Islam than they are about actual human rights violations being

88
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: committed by the Islamic regime.

89
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Listen just how brutal this group is by the way

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: here it is, and.

91
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 6: I know I've got the parents of friends and family

92
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 6: in Iran. You know, they come to your house, shoot

93
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 6: you in the head, throw your body in a ditch,

94
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: and then they present the families with an invoice that

95
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 6: you have to pay something like five thousand dollars to

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 6: release the body. And part of the invoice includes bullets

97
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 6: that we use to kill your loved one, So you're

98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 6: paying even for the bullets. We are out in numbers.

99
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 6: It's the atmosphere is incredible. People will are not going

100
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 6: to stop because they're at that stage in their lives

101
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 6: where it's better to you know, this is their words,

102
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 6: better to die in your feet than live on your knees.

103
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: It certainly is.

104
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: We're going to take a moment here and move out

105
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: to Utah where Tyler Robinson is in court for hearing

106
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: where they're trying to disqualify the prosecute.

107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: You shouldn't tam Let's take that.

108
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: Live average in the place on the record. The potential

109
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 5: consequences if any wilful violation of the Court's December twenty third,

110
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five standing decorum order under Utah Code Section

111
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 5: seventy eight. Bash six dash three to one zero. If

112
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: the Court finds a person guilty of contempt, the court

113
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 5: may impose a fine of up to one thousand dollars,

114
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: orderingcarceration in the county jail for up to thirty days,

115
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 5: or both. Any alleged violation will be carefully evaluated, and

116
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 5: the Court will impose only those sanctions which are appropriate

117
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 5: and proportional under circumstance. Under the circumstances, the Court will

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: make specific findings on the record before imposing any sanction.

119
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 5: In addition, the Court may impose the following remedial measures,

120
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 5: if warranted. First, immediate suspension of video transmission of the

121
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: hearing with proceedings continuing on audio only basis for the

122
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 5: proceeding where the violation occurred, and disqualification, if necessary and

123
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 5: narrowly tailored of the news organization that filled that filed

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: the request in order for electronic media coverage of court

125
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 5: proceedings for the hearing in which the violation occurred from

126
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: providing pool camera operator services in this matter, where the

127
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 5: Court determines that such a measure is required to ensure

128
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: compliance with a standing decorum order and to protect the

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 5: rights of the parties. Council will be allowed to provide

130
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: their input before the Court makes any final determination regarding sanctions.

131
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 5: I want to emphasize that these measures are not intended

132
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 5: to have a chilling effect on open and transparent courts

133
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 5: or on responsible news gathering, and the Court remains fully

134
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 5: committed to the presumption of open proceedings under applicable rules. Rather,

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: they're intended to protect the constitutional rights of all parties

136
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 5: while preserving the integrity, openness, and fairness of these proceedings. Third, I,

137
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 5: at this time, I wish to address the camera operator,

138
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 5: mister Yulberg, if you wouldn't mind coming forward and standing

139
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 5: at the lectrum, and could you state your name for

140
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 5: the record, John Hulberg. Thank you, mister Hulberg. It's not

141
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 5: my intention to cause you any embarrassment or discomfort. I

142
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: simply want to ensure that the guidelines for today's proceedings

143
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 5: are clear. Mister Yulberg, during today's hearing, what is your

144
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: primary rule.

145
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: To provide video coverage of the proceedings for the public?

146
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: All right?

147
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 5: Have you read the December twenty third, twenty twenty five

148
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 5: standing decorum order, Yes, sir, do you understand the guidelines

149
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: as they relate to your response disabilities today, I do

150
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 5: Do you need any additional time to review the December

151
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 5: twenty third, twenty twenty five standing decorum order or any

152
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: time to reposition the camera to ensure full compliance with

153
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: those guidelines?

154
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: Do I need more time?

155
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: I'm sorry?

156
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: Was that the question?

157
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 5: Do you need more time to review the decorum order?

158
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: And I'll pause there because that was a compound okay question?

159
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 5: Sorry about that?

160
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: No, I am, I am, I've read it. I fully

161
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: understand it. I'm good to go.

162
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: All right to the second part. Do you need any

163
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 5: additional time to reposition the camera to ensure full compliance

164
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: with those guidelines?

165
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 7: No?

166
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: I think we're in a good position now, all.

167
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 5: Right, mister Gilberg. Do you anticipate any difficulties complying with

168
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 5: the December twenty third, twenty twenty five standing to korm order.

169
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 4: I do not anticipate any problems, all right?

170
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 5: And is there anything that the court can clarify to

171
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 5: assist you?

172
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: H No, I think we're good to go, sir.

173
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 5: All right, Thank you, mister Gilberg.

174
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: Thank you.

175
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: Before I let you go, I'll turn to counsel. Based

176
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: off the questions asked turned to you, if you have

177
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 5: any input or questions. Nothing from the state, Thank you,

178
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: and you're honor all right, all right, and the court.

179
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 5: I appreciate your cooperation and it's my hope that we

180
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 5: all do our very best today together.

181
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: Thank you.

182
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 5: And finally, before we turn to the issue the motion

183
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 5: before the court to the state, could you please provide

184
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 5: a brief update on the status of discovery disclosure.

185
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 8: Yes, sure, honor.

186
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 9: I don't have the percentage of materials that we have

187
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 9: that have been disclosed, but I think we're above ninety

188
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 9: percent at this point. There still is discovery coming in

189
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 9: their reports and so forth, coming in from various entities,

190
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 9: so I think we're moving expeditiously towards completing at least

191
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 9: this initial.

192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 8: Batch of discovery.

193
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 9: Of course, discovery will be ongoing, probably for the duration

194
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 9: of the proceeding, but we have provided nearly all of

195
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 9: what we have today.

196
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: All right, and to defense, any input not at this time,

197
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 5: your honner, Thank you, Miss Nestor, all right, Thank you,

198
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 5: counsel for your patients. As a court covered those preliminary issues,

199
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 5: let's turn to the defense's motion to disqualify the Utah

200
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: County Attorney's Office. Miss Nestor, sorry, mister Novak.

201
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: That's why you're that's okay.

202
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 8: We actually have some preliminary things we want to discuss

203
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 8: with respect to the posture of this emotion. And I

204
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 8: also think at some point the court needs to decide

205
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 8: at what stage the hearing on this motion remains open

206
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 8: and becomes closed. So I'm going to keep bear that

207
00:10:49,600 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 8: in mind in terms of my preliminary statements, if I may.

208
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 8: When we filed this motion to disqualify, and when I

209
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 8: say we, I mean mister Robinson's council, we fully expected

210
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 8: that what the Utah County Attorneys would do is refer

211
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 8: the motion to the Attorney General's office, so that the

212
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 8: Utah County Attorneys are not in the position of representing

213
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 8: their own interests as potentially conflicted attorneys and a potentially

214
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 8: conflicted office, and representing the state's interest in the prosecution.

215
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 8: We heard informally from the state's attorneys that they were

216
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 8: preparing a response and when it would be provided, and

217
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 8: then what we received, and again I'm bearing in mind

218
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 8: that we're in a open hearing at the moment, was

219
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 8: a brief where I'm going to say, the unsworn representations

220
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 8: of two attorneys from that office are basically integrated into

221
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 8: points and authorities. We don't have AffA davits from mister

222
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 8: Gray or from the other attorney. We have argument. We

223
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 8: noted in our reply that we were surprised at in

224
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 8: footnote two at page four that the Utah County attorneys

225
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 8: were representing themselves in connection with a motion alleging that

226
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 8: they have a conflict of interest and that the state

227
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 8: was not being represented through the Attorney General's office. We

228
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 8: did some further research on this, and you know, we

229
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 8: have some case low that we can provide court. I

230
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 8: suspect that the Court is very familiar with the fact,

231
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 8: just from its own experience, that inappropriate circumstances, the Attorney

232
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 8: General's Office can either one represent the state in what

233
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 8: was a county prosecution with respect to a disqualification motion

234
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 8: so that the boundaries are clear, or if there's an

235
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 8: ultimate finding or conclusion that there is a conflict of interest,

236
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 8: take over the prosecution or assign it to another county.

237
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 8: So we're very concerned that we're getting off on the

238
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 8: wrong foot, if I can use that metaphor, because we

239
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 8: have officers of the court who are both representing their

240
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 8: own interests in continuing to be the prosecutors in this

241
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 8: case and representing the a in a situation where there

242
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 8: should be what I would call at least temporarily conflict council.

243
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 8: I'm not sure that's the term the Attorney general uses

244
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 8: representing the state's interests. There's a Supreme Court decision which

245
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 8: is called State v. Jimenez j I M E. N.

246
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 8: E Z, which I can provide citation for. There are

247
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 8: subsequent cases, but it's pretty clear that this is the

248
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 8: type of a case. I'm not saying that Jimenez compels

249
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 8: that action, but it seems to me to strongly suggest

250
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 8: that where there is a showing, I'm not sure what

251
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 8: the what the threshold showing is. I don't want to

252
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 8: say it's a prime facia showing or a reasonable concern,

253
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 8: but where there's a showing that there very well may

254
00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 8: be a conflict of interest that hasn't been handled by

255
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 8: a particular state attorneys county attorney's office, that what's in

256
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 8: the interest of the litigation of the public of the

257
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 8: parties is for the Attorney General to step in. And

258
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 8: the citation for State v. Amen Is if I may

259
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 8: is five eighty eight p. Second seven oh seven. Of

260
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 8: course I can provide the court with the Utah citation

261
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 8: as well. This court actually has the authority under that

262
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 8: case State v.

263
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: Amen is.

264
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 8: To direct the Attorney General to step in, not for

265
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 8: the entire case at this stage. That's not what we're

266
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 8: saying is necessary, because that requires a finding of a

267
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 8: conflict of interest, but to step in or to designate

268
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 8: somebody to step in for the purposes of litigating that motion.

269
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 8: And so we're very concerned that even going forward with

270
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 8: an evidentiary hearing where members of the Utah County Attorney's

271
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 8: Office are both litigating as representatives of the state in

272
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 8: a prosecution and essentially defending their own propriety of proceeding

273
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 8: in this prosecution, is problematic as far as being prepared,

274
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 8: we're of course prepared to go forward with an evidentiary hearing,

275
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 8: but we think that it's improvident. And we think that

276
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 8: what the court should do if the Utah County Attorneys

277
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 8: have not or don't if given the opportunity to do

278
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 8: this on their own, is that the Court should designate

279
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 8: the Attorney General's Office for the purpose of litigating this motion.

280
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 8: The Court might ask, hypothetically, the question, has the Utah

281
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 8: County Attorney's Office conferred with the Attorney General about this

282
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 8: particular question, and we are not in the dark because,

283
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 8: as mss Nestor will tell the Court as an officer

284
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 8: of the Court, she's spoken with the Attorney General's Office

285
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 8: and they have not been consulted about this.

286
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 4: Okay.

287
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 8: So this is a motion to disqualify County Attorney's Office

288
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 8: based on what we believe is a material, significant conflict

289
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 8: of interests that it's clear they haven't even tried to

290
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 8: address by way of a screening, which of course is

291
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 8: a term of art, because their position is no screening

292
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 8: was necessary. We're not even here to discuss whether the

293
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 8: way in which a particular attorney was screened off was adequate.

294
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 8: Their position, as their own advocates, is we've already decided

295
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 8: no screening is necessary. So what we've been told by

296
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 8: the Attorney General's office. Ms Nestor can represent to the

297
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 8: court exactly what she was told, but basically that there

298
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 8: has not been consultation. And while that is mister Gray's prerogative,

299
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 8: we think it's wrong and we think that this Court

300
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 8: needs to exercise its authority to intervene and say in

301
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 8: this case, for this kind of emotion. The court needs

302
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 8: to hear from a representative of the state who does

303
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 8: not even appear to have a conflict of interest. So

304
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 8: that's our preliminary statement about these issues. And again I

305
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 8: hope I have avoided saying anything that should have been

306
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 8: said in a close hearing. I think I was pretty

307
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 8: good about that. So that's where we are before we

308
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 8: even get into the litigation of it. And I don't

309
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 8: want to be formalistic, and I'm certainly not trying to

310
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 8: be confrontational, but I think actually what the court, what

311
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 8: we think the court should do, is the Court should

312
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 8: strike the Utah County Attorney's response to our motion and

313
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 8: direct the Attorney General to take up the responsibility for

314
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 8: responding to our motion in whichever way. Clearly, non conflicted

315
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 8: attorneys representing the state think they should how it should

316
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 8: be responded to. And if I've muddled, I always say

317
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 8: this here on or if I've muddled anything or confused anything,

318
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 8: please say so and I'll try to clarify.

319
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 5: Thank you. I do have some questions for you as

320
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: it relates to this. I wish to consider all the

321
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 5: authority that you wish to cite to. I mean, obviously

322
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 5: you came into this hearing knowing that this is something

323
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 5: you're going to present, and this court wants to be

324
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 5: efficient with time, but thorough and not jumping to conclusions.

325
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: Can you give me all the authority that you wish

326
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 5: for me to consider in considering your request today.

327
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: Yes.

328
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 8: And I think what we could also do, which maybe

329
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 8: would be more helpful to the court, is that we

330
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 8: could file a short brief on this particular issue. Because

331
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 8: I will acknowledge that while we were surprised that the

332
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 8: brief was filed by the same lawyers who are alleged

333
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 8: to have this conflict of interest, it took us a

334
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 8: little bit of time too, and we wanted to get

335
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 8: that filed in time for today's hearing because the court

336
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 8: set the hearing, it took us a little bit of

337
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 8: time to think through these issues. So there are Utah authorities,

338
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 8: there are authorities from other jurisdictions. There are also ABA

339
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 8: guidelines on the prosecutorial function, which we think strongly suggest

340
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 8: that there should have been what I'll just call it

341
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 8: a referral to the Attorney General's Office for this particular motion.

342
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 8: I can stand here and I can give the court

343
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 8: case names and numbers and sections from the ABA standards.

344
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 8: But it was not our goal to of course, put

345
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 8: the Court on the spot and require the Court to

346
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 8: you know, I go back into chambers think about it

347
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 8: for you know, some pressured period of time and come

348
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 8: back out and make a decision. So if it would

349
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 8: benefit the court for us to file something, and I

350
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 8: don't mean in a month, I mean very soon, so

351
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 8: that the Court has thoughtfully presented points and authorities, we're

352
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 8: we're happy to do that. As far as I know.

353
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 8: The only people who've traveled out of town for this

354
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 8: hearing are mister Burt and myself, So I'm thinking out

355
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 8: the convenience of witnesses and the court and counsel. It's

356
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 8: important that we that we do this in a way

357
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 8: where the Court has the opportunity to make a thoughtful

358
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 8: reason decision, as your Honor always says. So that's that

359
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 8: would be our proposal, is that if the Court is

360
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 8: open to receiving authorities, that we resess this hearing for

361
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 8: you know, whatever whatever meets the Court's schedule, whether it's

362
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 8: a week or two weeks or a few days, and

363
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 8: we can provide the Court with something and we'll come back.

364
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 8: But we do think This is a serious issue because

365
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 8: I think the question of who litigates this issue on

366
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 8: behalf of the state is in itself wrapped up in

367
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 8: this conflict, and we want everybody to get this right.

368
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 8: Thank you once.

369
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 5: My question for you is, knowing this, why didn't you

370
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 5: file a motion prior to today's hearing, knowing that this the

371
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 5: court would be in this position based off your request

372
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 5: to prepare the court, prepare opposing parties, and to be

373
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 5: efficient in our use of time. I'm trying to understand.

374
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 5: I understand what you're saying, and I understand that things evolve,

375
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 5: but I'm trying to understand why that wasn't filed in

376
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 5: advance of the hearing, to put the court on notice

377
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: the very minimum and just to allow the court to

378
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 5: do what the Court does.

379
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 8: I hear what the court's saying, and I think we

380
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 8: can take responsibility for not sufficiently presenting the authorities that

381
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 8: we think compel what I've just suggested should happen. We

382
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 8: noted in our reply brief that the county attorney should

383
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 8: not be representing themselves, and that's probably an inadequate message

384
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 8: to the court, but we did file emotion to disqualify

385
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 8: and inherent in emotion to disqualify based on the conflict

386
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 8: of interest. We anticipated would be that the state attorney

387
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 8: would seek representation from a clearly non conflicted appropriate prosecutorial authority,

388
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 8: which as I've done for the research, and mister Bird

389
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 8: and Ms. Visser and Ms Nestor and I have all

390
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 8: done for the research literally up until from earlier this morning,

391
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 8: we think it's pretty clear that this court has the

392
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 8: authority to make that. I'm going to call it a referral.

393
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 8: I think it's an order referring it to the Attorney

394
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 8: General if the state, if the Utah County Attorneys choose

395
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 8: not to do so. And the additional information which we

396
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 8: did receive today, I'll just tell you that was that

397
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 8: there had not been any communication between the county attorneys

398
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 8: and the Attorney General's office concerning this issue. So I'll

399
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 8: follow my sword. If the court thinks I should be

400
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 8: sanctioned for not bringing this up sooner, I hear the court.

401
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 8: But we are. We're juggling many aspects of this case

402
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 8: all at the same time, some of which the Court

403
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 8: is aware of, some of which the Court probably is

404
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 8: not aware of. But the Court can't imagine no and.

405
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 5: I appreciate that, and it's not the intent to sanction you.

406
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 5: I understand that issues come up and there's a lot

407
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 5: going on, and so the court appreciates your candor and

408
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 5: representation today. These items can evolve, and so the court

409
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 5: is not finding fault with you. It's just hoping that

410
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: as it requires a lot of time and resources for

411
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 5: you and for fellow attorneys and for the opposing party

412
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 5: and for other parties, we just might want to make

413
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 5: sure we use to make the best use of our

414
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 5: time when we're together.

415
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 8: I hear everything the court is saying. I take it

416
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 8: to heart. I understand what the court's saying, and we

417
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 8: are cognizant of the time that the court devotes to

418
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 8: preparation for these hearings. And so that's that's all I

419
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 8: can really say.

420
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 5: Sir, and and and also for mister Robinson himself and

421
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 5: the victim are representative Ms Kirk as well. We just

422
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 5: want to do our best, and I understand, and I'm

423
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 5: not finding fault with you, sir or your team. It's

424
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 5: we've all been in court. We all know what happens,

425
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 5: so I understand. I'll turn to the state. Oh and

426
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, is there anything further that you wish to.

427
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 8: No, Like I could provide the court with more citations,

428
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 8: but I'm just wondering if that's really the best way

429
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 8: to give the court a list of verbal citations. I think,

430
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 8: with all consideration for and we probably have, yeah, with

431
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 8: all consideration for the fact that the Court wants to

432
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 8: be thorough and careful and we do as well. We

433
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 8: don't want to shoot from the hip, But I think

434
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 8: that we just decided that this was something that we

435
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 8: needed to bring to the Court's attention in a much

436
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 8: more fulsome way once we understood not only the way

437
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 8: this was developing, but you know, frankly, the way the

438
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 8: Utah Supreme Court, the ABA guidelines courts of appeal subsequent

439
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 8: to State v. Jamenez, And you know the information that

440
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 8: we received today from the Attorney General's office, which isn't

441
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 8: a secret, it's just we had a conversation and we

442
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 8: learned that there hadn't been any consultation. If there had

443
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 8: been consultation and the Attorney General had said no or

444
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 8: think we think you're good to go, then that would

445
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 8: be different. And that's what we learned this morning.

446
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 5: All Right, We'll I'll go ahead and take those authorities

447
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 5: right now, if you'd like to list them, court is ready.

448
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 8: So the second one would be State v. Robertson, and

449
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 8: that is also a Utah case eight eighty six p.

450
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 8: Second eighty five. There's the ABA prosecution standards. I would

451
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 8: refer the court to section three point one point seven

452
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 8: and three point two point five, and those are I

453
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 8: think the places to start.

454
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 5: Is there any Utah rule on point that addresses this issue?

455
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 8: So the case of State v. Jamenez, which I refer to,

456
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 8: which is a Supreme Court does actually cite a statute?

457
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 5: Okay? Anything further that you wish for this Court to

458
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 5: consider at this point in the proceeding as it relates

459
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 5: to this issue.

460
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 8: No, and depending upon the statements of Council, we may

461
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 8: we may have some response if the Court permits it.

462
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 5: Of course, thank you. Turning to the State, mister Gray.

463
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 10: Your honor, I'm not sure why this is coming before

464
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 10: us today. If it was such a surprise to them

465
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 10: more than a week ago, I don't know why they

466
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 10: wouldn't at least notify the court.

467
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 8: I too, represent the state.

468
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 10: I'm an elected official, constitutionally elected to represent the state.

469
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 10: Where does this end? I don't know these cases. I'm

470
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 10: very interested to see whether or not they refer to trials.

471
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 10: I know that the attorney the Utah Attorney General's Office,

472
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 10: they've done the same thing that we have in Rule

473
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 10: eleven motions, where one council on the team cross or

474
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 10: examines their boss in fact on the matter. So I

475
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 10: just think this is ambush and another stalling tactic to

476
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 10: delay these proceedings. There's no reason that they could not

477
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 10: have at least filed the motion and asked for uh.

478
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 8: Asked for time to brief it.

479
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 4: And word does it end?

480
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 10: Do we get to respond to their motion to have

481
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 10: the Attorney General's office respond or or does the Attorney

482
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 10: General's office have to respond to that one too. I'm

483
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 10: not well anyway, I've stated my it should have been

484
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 10: done far earlier if that was their case, if that

485
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 10: was their claim, and if I could just turn the

486
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 10: time over to Ryan in case he has something else.

487
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 9: And excuse me, I you know this is we're tag

488
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 9: teaming of this somewhat because it's a surprise to us

489
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 9: as it is to the court. But in the in

490
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 9: the five minutes, I've had to read Robertson and Jimenez,

491
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 9: which could have been provided to me before this hearing.

492
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 9: It looks like those cases don't stand for conflict of

493
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 9: interest cases there actually does the Attorney General's office have

494
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 9: authority to prosecute cases that occur within a prosecution district

495
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 9: or county attorney's jurisdiction. And the answer is yes, it's

496
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 9: not about taking conflicts from a few minutes I've had

497
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 9: to read those cases.

498
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 8: I do want to state this is, of course, the

499
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 8: first time this has been raised to us.

500
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 9: The defense has known that we were going to respond

501
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 9: to this motion for some time. We requested an extension

502
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 9: for our filing deadline back in December. The defense agreed

503
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 9: to that extension. Our reply was filed January fifth. The

504
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 9: defendant's reply was filed thereafter, and in that reply that

505
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 9: the tone of that reply is mentions that they thought

506
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 9: that perhaps a special prosecutor would be appointed to handle

507
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 9: the content case. But in the alternative says, we'll be

508
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 9: able to We want to subpoena witnesses to establish the

509
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 9: facts that are laid out in the state's opposition motion

510
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 9: or memorandum, and that was what we understood was going

511
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 9: to happen today. You have a family member of a

512
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 9: prosecutor who has been subpoena. An affidavit has been supplied

513
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 9: to the court. We believe that affidavit is adequate, but

514
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 9: it wasn't adequate from the defense perspective, so they subpoena

515
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 9: that person. Prosecutors have been subpoena for today's hearing. We

516
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 9: have two investigators that have been subpoena for today's hearing,

517
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 9: and we are ready to.

518
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: Go, your honor.

519
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 9: I think that the motion or the request that the

520
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 9: defense has made assumes that a conflict does exist and

521
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 9: that there's an inability of the party who has been

522
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 9: accused of a conflict to defend themselves, and I just

523
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 9: don't think that that's true. If there is a conflict,

524
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 9: which is the question that this court is to decide,

525
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 9: the case will be referred until that conflict has been established.

526
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 9: The case is properly in the jurisdiction, in the jurisdiction

527
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 9: that has statutory authority over that offense, and until that

528
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 9: conflict has been established. The Utah County Attorney's Office has

529
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 9: this case and can defend its involvement in this case.

530
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 9: If I got just a moment to review my notes

531
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 9: and see if there's other points we want to make

532
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 9: on this. Of course, there is one other point I

533
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 9: wanted to make, which is the idea that the case

534
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 9: would be referred that alleging a conflict would cause a

535
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 9: special prosecutor to be appointed. That really assumes that there

536
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 9: is that there is a conflict, and until that conflict

537
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 9: has been established, there is no duty for the case

538
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 9: to be referred to another jurisdiction or another special prosecutor

539
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 9: to handle. And it raises some of the issues that

540
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 9: have been brought up in some of the case law

541
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 9: regarding creating or.

542
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 8: Alleging conflicts.

543
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 9: There's a lot of case law that talks about how

544
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 9: move cases from one prosecutor's authority to find a more

545
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 9: lenient prosecutor, find a more favorable prosecuting authority that's not

546
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 9: going to seek, for example, in this case, the death penalty,

547
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 9: And there's a lot of case law that talks about

548
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 9: you can't call opposing counsel as a witness in a

549
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 9: case unless they're absolutely necessary, and the reason is because

550
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 9: it can be a forum shopping effort, and we're concerned

551
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 9: with that same kind of motivation or tactic that could

552
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 9: be used in this case or other cases like it. Anytime,

553
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 9: as opposing counsel, you don't like the offer you're getting,

554
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 9: the way the prosecution is being handled, you allege a

555
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 9: conflict of interest, and all of a sudden, the County

556
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 9: Attorney's office has to spend ten thousand dollars to hire

557
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 9: a special prosecutor just to handle that one issue, regardless

558
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 9: of whether or not it's supported, or whether or not

559
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 9: a conflict exists. That's a concern we have. Ron we're

560
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 9: ready to go forward today. We think the evidence that

561
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 9: will be presented today will illuminate the issues adequate that

562
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 9: your Honor can make a decision about whether or not

563
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 9: a conflict exists, and we don't need to delay this

564
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 9: proceeding any further. We're confident that the court will see

565
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 9: the facts as they are and be able to make

566
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 9: that determination.

567
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 5: Mister McBride, So the motion has been made by defense

568
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 5: to continue this hearing, to allow the filing of an

569
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 5: emotion addressing more fully this issue. And to that request,

570
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 5: what is the state's reply?

571
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 9: We object to that, to that motion to continue or

572
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 9: to strike, we ask the court to go forward today.

573
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 8: We think the motion is untimely.

574
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 9: The courts or the prosecution has subpoenaed witnesses, and every

575
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 9: delay that happens the witnesses that we have, we have

576
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 9: now family members of the prosecution being subpoena. These people

577
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 9: are ready to move forward and get this out of

578
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 9: the way. Longer we delay this, the more anxiety that

579
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 9: this procedure has.

580
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 5: All right, thank you, mister McBride. To defense any response.

581
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 8: Yes, John, thank you. First, I want to say, this

582
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 8: is not about seeking a lenient prosecutor. This is not

583
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 8: about tactics at all. And it was actually the County

584
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 8: Attorney's office who informed us back in October that there

585
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 8: was a family member of a prosecutor who was present

586
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 8: at Utah Valley University at the Charlie Kirk rally and

587
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 8: experienced and witnessed certain things. We didn't make this up

588
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 8: out of whole cloth. We didn't grab onto some piece

589
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 8: of discovery and say, ah, a wedge a tactic. The

590
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 8: Utah County Attorney's Office informed us in late October that

591
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 8: we needed to know about this, and we informed them, fine,

592
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 8: that's your position. It's not a conflictive interest. We think

593
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 8: it is and we intend to litigate it. So it's

594
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 8: not a tactic. It's not something that we've made up

595
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 8: out of whole cloth, because, like I said, we found

596
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 8: a needle in a haystack. It's something that they properly

597
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 8: brought to our attention. But we firmly believe that the

598
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 8: low supports the concls illusion that that particular prosecutor should

599
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 8: have been screened off. There's a good case lawn screening,

600
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 8: which we did fully cite in our briefs in a

601
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 8: timely way, and there was no effort to screen off

602
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 8: that prosecutor, and that has now created a problem for

603
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 8: the whole office that is not made up at a

604
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 8: whole cloth. And like I said, it's not about tactics

605
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 8: or lenience or delay. This isn't delaying anything, at least.

606
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 5: On our part.

607
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 8: The other thing that I want to point out is

608
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 8: to say that until this court decides there's a conflict

609
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 8: of interest, somebody else shouldn't be handling this issue is

610
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 8: circular because by that point in time, you've already the

611
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 8: court would have already allowed the conflicted attorneys to represent

612
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 8: the state in a hearing on their potential conflict. So

613
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 8: I actually think the way you avoid that circular or

614
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 8: argument and the sort of harm that arises if the

615
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 8: court were too fine that there is a conflict.

616
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 5: Is to.

617
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 8: At least temporarily have the Attorney General's office handle this. Yes,

618
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 8: mister Gray is an elected official, but that doesn't mean

619
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 8: that his office doesn't have a conflict of interest. Conflict

620
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 8: of interests arise. A judicial officer decides to become a prosecutor.

621
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 8: A prosecutor decides to become a judicial officer. That's actually

622
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 8: where most of the case law comes from. As you're

623
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 8: on our notes, a defense attorney changes careers and becomes

624
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 8: a prosecutor, there has to be a screening. The case

625
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 8: law is very clear that the screening has to be adequate.

626
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 8: There's been no screening here because mister Gray decided we

627
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 8: don't think there's a conflict of interest. And what we're

628
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 8: saying is, it's not a needle in a haysta. It's

629
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 8: not a tactic, it's not a fiction, it's not a

630
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 8: you know, a thin read. The evidence that the court

631
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 8: has suggests number one, that there's a very good possibility that,

632
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 8: as a legal matter, there's a conflict of interest. That's

633
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 8: why we need to have an evidentiarre of hearing because

634
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 8: the court doesn't have all the facts and number two

635
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 8: that the Utah County Attorney's Office, because they decided early

636
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 8: on without consulting with anybody, that they didn't have a

637
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 8: conflict of interest, didn't put any screening mechanisms in place.

638
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 8: And so I understand that they want to defend the

639
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 8: decisions that they've made, But the question is shouldn't the

640
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 8: state be represented by somebody else in the course of

641
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 8: this court resolving whether the those decisions were right, Because,

642
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 8: to quote the law and to quote the ethics, the

643
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 8: Utah County Attorney's Office is now serving two masters. I

644
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 8: don't like that word, but that's the word in the doctrine.

645
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 8: They're representing themselves and they're representing the state of Utah,

646
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 8: and that's why the Attorney General or somebody else designated

647
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 8: by the Attorney General should be representing them in this matter.

648
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 8: And I do want to say one more thing. If

649
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 8: I may or honor and I pregotiate the courts patients,

650
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 8: I think that the way we raise this issue in

651
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 8: our reply brief is not as accommodating to just letting

652
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 8: it go as Council suggests. What we said is we

653
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 8: ask the question is whether it is even appropriate for

654
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 8: the UCAO to litigate this issue on its own behalf.

655
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 8: While the AO may have provided this Court with the

656
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 8: information that it has deemed relevant to this issue, the

657
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 8: scope of the disclosures and litigation of this motion should

658
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 8: have been assigned to another state agency, such as the

659
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 8: Attorney General. We didn't suggest that this Court should appoint

660
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 8: a special prosecutor for all purposes, or that the filing

661
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 8: of this motion means that the Utah County Attorney's Office

662
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 8: is automatically disqualified from the litigation. That's the point of

663
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 8: the motion is whether they had a conflict of interest

664
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 8: and if they did, whether they handled it. And it's

665
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 8: our position correctly, and it's our position that the answer

666
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 8: is yes and no. So I understand there are witnesses here,

667
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 8: people are ready to go. We think that the Court

668
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 8: should either accept briefing or agree with us that the

669
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 8: referral is appropriate. And I want on a site if

670
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 8: I may, the citation by the Supreme Court in Jimenez.

671
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 8: So this is five to eighty eight p. Second it's

672
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 8: seven oh seven. But this is at seven oh eight.

673
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 8: This is the statute quoted by the Supreme Court if

674
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 8: at any time after investigation by and A finding and

675
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 8: a recommendation from the district judge involved that the county

676
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 8: attorney in any county is unable to satisfactorily and adequately

677
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 8: perform his duties in prosecuting a criminal case without additional

678
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 8: legal assistance. The Attorney General shall provide such assistance. That's

679
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 8: very broad. What that means in this case is it's

680
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 8: inappropriate for the Utah County Attorney's office to represent itself

681
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 8: when it is also representing the state, and that for

682
00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 8: this motion, this court has the discretion, we would say, respectfully,

683
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 8: the obligation to designate the Attorney General to represent the state.

684
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: All right, we leave the Utah courtroom.

685
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 2: We go to Donald Trump making comments in Florida at

686
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: the Southern Boulevard dedication ceremony.

687
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 1: Here's the president, really nice.

688
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: It looks very nice that you're caring, and it's a

689
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: that's beautiful. Thank you. Wow, that's the real deal. Thank

690
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 3: you very much. We appreciate it.

691
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 7: All all tough people in this room, really amazing people.

692
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 7: And we have a lot of media back there. We

693
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 7: appreciated you're here. We very much appreciate that you're here.

694
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 7: So I'm being nice today to the media. I think

695
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 7: I have, but a very special thanks to state Representative

696
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 7: Meg Weinberger to the job she's doing.

697
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 3: It's amazing and she's going to do very well politically.

698
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 3: I used to tell her, I don't know, that's a

699
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 3: tough race. That's a tough race, but go do it.

700
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: She did it, and she won, and then a.

701
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 7: Lot of people didn't think she was going to be

702
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 7: able to win, beating people that were doing it for

703
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 7: a long time.

704
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 3: You weren't doing it for a long time. But you've

705
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 3: become a veteran.

706
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 7: Very fast, and you've done very well. Congratulations, We appreciate it.

707
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 7: They call him Maga Meg and now and now, when

708
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 7: you have that, you can never lose a race. You

709
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 7: can't lose. People just didn't understand that you can't lose

710
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 7: the race. Right with that, Thank you, darling.

711
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 3: And where's your husband, by the way, where is he Eric? Well,

712
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: great job, Thank you very much for that reference. That

713
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: was a very important reference. Thank you Eric very much.

714
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 7: And speaking of Eric, I have Eric Trump right here,

715
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 7: who's a great guy. He's a great young guy and

716
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 7: he's done a fantastic job. When I'm away, I don't know,

717
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 7: I looked at I see things happening all over the world,

718
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 7: and him, the whole family has been so terrific. But

719
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 7: Eric has been right there at the front, and I

720
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 7: appreciated it very much.

721
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 3: She's a great boy. We love that boy. We love

722
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 3: that boy. Thank you, honey. Appreciate it.

723
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 7: And I'm thrilled to be back in my home state

724
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 7: of Florida. And this truly incredible privilege.

725
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: I moved down here.

726
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 7: I love New York, but it was just just worked

727
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 7: that way. And you know, we won Florida so much

728
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 7: by so big and it's been and it continues, just continues.

729
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 7: We even have Club forty seven here. Look at these representatives.

730
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 7: Used to be Club forty five. Then they said, I

731
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 7: think we.

732
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 3: Would have changed it the Club forty seven. And we're

733
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 3: having a good time.

734
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 7: Let me tell you we're doing really we're doing a

735
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 7: job for our country. We're saving our country because if

736
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 7: they would have gotten in, this country would have been

737
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 7: a place known as Venezuela on Sarah.

738
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 3: It would have been in big trouble. So we did

739
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 3: a job.

740
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 7: And so many of the people Ginas, so many of

741
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 7: the people in the room, they helped so much.

742
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

743
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 7: So I'm tremendously honored that the Maine Boulevard from Palm

744
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 7: Beach International Airport to the beautiful mar Alago is being

745
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 7: renamed in my honor. That's a very important stretch. A

746
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 7: lot of people, a lot of important people, and I

747
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 7: don't care if they're important or not, but important and

748
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 7: not important people travel on that road. But I love

749
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 7: the people of Florida. I love the entire Palm Beach area.

750
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 7: I've been here for a long time and I want

751
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 7: to thank you all for being here.

752
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 3: I'll remember this amazing.

753
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 7: Gesture for the rest of my life, and in particular

754
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 7: Meg and Eric and all of the people.

755
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 3: That work so hard for this.

756
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 7: I also want to thank a man who's amazing. He's

757
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 7: an administrator. He's one of the most talented people in

758
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 7: the country.

759
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 3: And what he does. Joe Abruso, he's here someplace. Joe.

760
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: What a talented guy.

761
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 7: There's nobody better in the whole country at what he does,

762
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 7: and what he does is not easy, but everybody respects

763
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 7: him and everybody listens to him.

764
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 3: And he's got great values.

765
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 7: But he's got a great sense of design and everything.

766
00:47:59,200 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 3: Else that you need.

767
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 7: You need a lot of capability in that job and

768
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 7: you have every bit of it. Thank you, Joe very much.

769
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.

770
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 3: Thank you.

771
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 7: And who's that young lady. Thank you very much, fantastic.

772
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 7: It's good to have you both. Let me also express

773
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 7: my gratitude to all of the members of the Florida House,

774
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 7: many of whom I've gotten to.

775
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 3: Know over the years, and the Senate.

776
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 7: Incredible people, I mean literally, incredible people who united behind

777
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 7: the legislation granting me this great honor, including the Speaker

778
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 7: of the House, Danny.

779
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 3: Perez, who I think has a hell of a future.

780
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,600

00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 7: every record every time, and in twenty twenty four, we

937
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 7: swept sixty one of sixty seven Florida counties. Nobody's ever

938
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 7: done that, and carried the state by almost two million votes.

939
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 3: Which is the record.

940
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 7: And then I was followed also from the governor's standpoint

941
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 7: with Ron who did fantastically also, and we really it's

942
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 7: we've turned this state.

943
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 3: There are a few Democrats, and I don't want to

944
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 3: get into this, but.

945
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 7: We've turned the state extraordinarily read I would say, wouldn't

946
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 7: you say, you'll find out you're going to see. But

947
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 7: over the past twelve months, Florida's trusted confidence has really

948
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 7: paid off. Because you made a correct choice. One year ago,

949
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 7: we were I say it dead country. The King of

950
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 7: Saudi Arabia, I was over in Saudi Arabia getting money

951
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 7: for the for the country. He put up two trillion dollars,

952
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 7: gave us I'd like to invest in the United States

953
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 7: two trillion dollars.

954
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 3: It's a lot of money.

955
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 7: And then I went to Qatar two trillion dollars, and

956
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 7: I went to the United Arab Emirates Muhammed two trillion dollars.

957
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 3: So we took in six trillion.

958
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 7: That's why we have eighteen, because we got six from

959
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 7: three countries.

960
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 3: That helps, right, Laura? Is that right? Hi? Laura? Well

961
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 3: you are something what spirit you have, Laura Laura Lumer,

962
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 3: thank you, honey for being here. I appreciate it.

963
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 7: Jeez, haid you know she could be a little nasty,

964
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 7: but to me, she's always nice, so that's all about it.

965
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 3: I want her to stay that way too. But I

966
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 3: was over there and he looked at me, the King

967
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 3: of Sadi Arabia, he said, you know, I can't believe it.

968
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 7: This was a few months ago. Took back all that

969
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 7: money for the country. He said, I can't believe this

970
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 7: is happening because one year ago you were a dead

971
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 7: country and now you're the hottest country in the world.

972
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 7: And I use that quote all over and it's true.

973
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 7: We were a dead country and now we are the

974
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 7: hottest country.

975
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 3: Anywhere in the world.

976
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 7: We're taking in more income than any country, We're doing

977
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 7: better than any country. The stock market's doing better than

978
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 7: anyone's ever seen before. We have the best stock market

979
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 7: we've ever seen. Four oh one ks are doing better

980
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 7: than they've ever done before. They're up seventy eight percent

981
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 7: in many cases. But starting on day one, we fully

982
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 7: secured our southern Boulevard and stop the and think of it.

983
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 7: As we were securing Southern Boulevard making Florida great, we're

984
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 7: also securing a thing called the southern border and making

985
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 7: that great. And we stopped the invasion of our countries.

986
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 7: So Florida has been ahead of our time. Florida was ahead,

987
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 7: it led the way, but we stopped the This was

988
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 7: an invasion on our border. And you know, I don't

989
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 7: know if this is correct, because it can't be correct.

990
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 3: It's too good.

991
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 7: But for the last eight months, there have been no

992
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 7: people that came into our country illegally.

993
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 3: Now I don't know if that's possible. How do you

994
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 3: go from twenty five million people
