The refusal to do the obvious thing. 40 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 3: I'm driving on my bagel run. This morning, I come 41 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: to an intersection. Straight ahead of me is a home, 42 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 3: really nice home made of stone. They have a low 43 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: stone wall in front of the residence. And you go 44 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: to the left and it's all residential buildings, single family homes. 45 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: To the right, there's a business district. And I'm just 46 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: taking a cut through street and I'm making a left turn, 47 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: and this is in Santa Monica. And as I stop 48 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 3: at the stop side before I make the left, I 49 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 3: see a homeless guy, a weird, disgusting homeless guy, sitting 50 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: on the low stone wall. 51 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: And boy, does he have a load of possessions. 52 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: I don't remember if it was a shopping cart, but 53 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: it was lots of bags. It was lots of stuff. 54 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: He must have had a cart to some kind. No 55 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: way you could carry that by yourself. And he had 56 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: taken root on the wall, on the front wall of 57 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: this family's residence. The lawn was right behind him. There 58 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: was no particular security. 59 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: Gate or anything. 60 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: And he's acting agitated and he's waving his arms and 61 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: he's looking upset, and he's talking to imaginary people. If 62 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 3: you were walking down the block, you might not see 63 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: him until you were there because there was. I think 64 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: there's some kind of hedges, some kind of wall, so 65 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: it would block the view as you were walking south, 66 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: him on your right, so if you walk by him, 67 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: you'd jump out of your clothing. He'd scare the hell 68 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: out of you. And there's there's schools nearby, there could 69 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: be kids walking to school. They have a big shopping 70 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: center nearby, and there he is. I'm thinking, well, this 71 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: is this is frightening.

It's beyond bias here, 190 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: it's beyond propaganda. They just pretend something doesn't exist. Such 191 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: as the La Times article on why Santa Monica is 192 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: going into the toilet. They did not address homelessness, which 193 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 3: is the overwhelming reason beginning and end of the story 194 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: is out of control mental patience and out of control 195 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 3: drug addicts. Now, in the Charlie Kirk case, everybody who's 196 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: paid any attention yesterday saw that Charlie Kirk's assassin was 197 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 3: a gay kid who had a male boyfriend who was 198 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: in transition to being a girl, and he was also 199 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: a furry. 200 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: And he. 201 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 3: Travis, I'm sorry, Travis Tyler Robinson wrote texts to his 202 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: partner about how more or less he couldn't take Charlie's 203 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 3: hate anymore and made it clear that that's the reason 204 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: he he killed Charlie Kirk. He didn't like what Kirk 205 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 3: was saying about trans and all the other related issues. 206 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: The news was out there and still Caitlin Collins from CNN, 207 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: who hosts a show every night, she looks like your 208 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 3: annoying high school class president had ted Cruz on and 209 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 3: wouldn't admit that they found the motive. And the motive 210 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: was Tyler Robinson being angry with Charlie Kirk's stance on 211 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 3: trans issues. 212 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: Play this clip. 213 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 6: We're not even arguing about the facts here. 214 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 3: Just is false, Senator Caitlan fact hold on, say let 215 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 3: me answer your statement, because what you said is fact. 216 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: With respect law enforce your You. 217 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 6: Don't want to go ahead, and I want to get 218 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 6: back to we just laid out the fact that you 219 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 6: just said. Law enforcement has not made out of motive 220 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 6: that is, Attorney General, that is objectively false. 221 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: Motive it was to be engaged in this information. 222 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 3: She said that they don't have a motive. Will you 223 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: have a motive? And by time this thing ran last night, 224 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: the whole world knew what the motive was. It was 225 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: all over the media, it's all over social media, and 226 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: it was obvious anyway. But she comes out and says, well, 227 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: they don't have the motive, and and Cruz rightly just said, 228 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: you know, that's objectively false. 229 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: That's crazy. Why are they doing that? 230 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 3: They don't want it's not good for the progressive mo 231 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: meant to have another transgender kid committing a murder. Well, 232 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 3: I I mean there's been There's been about a half 233 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 3: a dozen of them, little out of proportion to the 234 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 3: size of the population, don't you think. Then you had 235 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: this ABC News reporter Matt Gutman. He's giving a report 236 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: about the texts from the Charlie Kirk assassination. Right, and 237 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 3: remember Tyler Robinson and this other guy, Lance Twiggs had 238 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: a romantic relationship, and so listen to Matt Gutman describe 239 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 3: the personal text between Robinson and Twigs. 240 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 4: We have seen an alleged murder with such specific text 241 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 4: messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, 242 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 4: how it was placed, what was on it. But also 243 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 4: it was very touching in a way that I think 244 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: many of us didn't expect. A very intimate tortrait into 245 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 4: this relationship and chip between the suspect's roommate and the 246 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate who was transitioning, 247 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: calling him my love and I want to protect you, 248 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 4: my love. 249 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: So it was this duality of someone. 250 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 4: Who the attorney said, not only jeopardized the life of 251 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in 252 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 4: front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances 253 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 4: of this case. And on the other hand, he was 254 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: speaking so. 255 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: Lovingly about his partner. 256 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 4: So very interesting, as Pierre said, riveting press conference. 257 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: David Touching, he's reading texts from a cold blood at 258 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: assassin guy stood on a roof in front of a 259 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 3: crowd of three thousand people and shot a guy in 260 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: the crowded ardor of his neck and wiped him out. 261 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 3: He's apologized today later on in the hour, I'll read 262 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: you the apology. But the knee jerk from kateon Collins 263 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: is to pretend that there wasn't a trans issue that 264 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 3: was the motive for the killing. And then Matt Gutman's 265 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: gut reaction to looking at the assassin's text was well, 266 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 3: that was very loving and touching what he was writing 267 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 3: to his partner. You see you go by their first 268 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 3: impulse there. When we come back Securities, it's gonna be 269 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: gigantic in Arizona for this Charlie Kirk memorial. We're gonna 270 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 3: have Don mahalakan the Secret Service agent retired and he's 271 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: the ABC News analyst. 272 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 273 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 5: six forty. 274 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: This Sunday is going to be the Charlie Kirk Memorial 275 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: at State Farms Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, just outside Phoenix, 276 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 3: home of the Phoenix Cardinals NFL team, and President Trump, 277 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: Vice President Vince and many of his members of his 278 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 3: administration will be there. A lot of Republican political officials 279 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 3: and political influencers, and it's expected to draw enormous crowds, 280 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 3: as you can tell by the outpouring of grief and 281 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 3: defiance really over the last week after the shooting. Don 282 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: Mahallick is the retired senior Secret Service agent who also 283 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 3: works as ABC News Law Enforcement contributor, and he's going 284 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: to come on with us. Don is good to have 285 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 3: you on again. What are they going to be doing 286 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 3: for security here because the capacity of the stadium obviously 287 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 3: must be something like, I don't know, sixty seventy thousand, 288 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 3: if not more, and they're probably going to get many, 289 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 3: many more people just showing up at the venue. 290 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, So the Secret Service has an advanced process that 291 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: they'll put into place. They're probably on the ground and 292 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: they've probably been on the ground for a couple of days, 293 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: and they'll work with the host committee and their state 294 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: in local county to kind of figure out the outlines 295 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: of the security and to cover all the basis transportation, 296 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: access control, air coverage, cyber coverage once in the event space, 297 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: but that's going to look like. And they'll put those 298 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: plans together, different individuals working on different pieces of the plan, 299 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: and then I'll come over with the entire security architecture, 300 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: including the get it you know, the President arriving, the 301 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: VP arriving, and the Secret Service protect these ingress and 302 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: egress out of the site. That'll all come together as 303 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: the Secret Service does and has done all over the world. 304 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: They've done large stadiums all over the world, so this 305 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: is not a new thing for them. It's just a 306 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: matter of resourcing it and time. They'll bring in extra 307 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: resources as they get closer to the event, because one 308 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: of the things they have to do before they even 309 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: started sweep the stadium to make sure the stadium is 310 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: clear of any threats. And then once they sweep the 311 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: stadium and it's clear of threats, they have to hold 312 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: the stadium. And then once they hold the stadium, they'll 313 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: have to set up the access control points to allow 314 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: people to come in, which is why people are being 315 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: told to show at eight am to get into an 316 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: event that starts at think eleven o'clock or noon, So 317 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: that gap in time is for that access control piece 318 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: will also be on the lookout for individuals showing up 319 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: that may cause a disruption, whether it's individuals that have 320 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: been identified as a potential threat but had an unusual 321 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: direction of interest towards the Secret Service protectees, or maybe 322 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: the event itself, or people out of potentially coming here 323 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: to close a problem and create a disturbance in the event, 324 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: because you don't want that to happen too with an 325 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: event like this. So all those pieces will come together 326 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: to create a secure environment for the President and the 327 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: other officials there, and also for the public. Because the 328 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: Secret Service and as counterparts, have to also ensure that 329 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: the public also was kept safe. 330 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 3: They've had three super Bowls at this stadium over the 331 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 3: last seventeen years or so, and obviously all post nine 332 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 3: to eleven, so the Secret Service and all the other 333 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 3: security agencies, law enforcement, they're not unfamiliar with how to 334 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 3: handle this particular venue. They must have blueprints from the 335 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: super Bowls that they've been able to that they'll be 336 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 3: able to follow. 337 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: True, they'll be able to pull out or refer to 338 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: previous security plans, but they'll do the process from scratch 339 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: because don't want to make sure that all iSER dotted 340 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: teas across that there wasn't anything missed. And also with 341 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: the President and the other VIP's coming, they have to 342 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: account for that protecting movement in and out of the stadium. 343 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: And they're also accounting for you know, threats and individuals 344 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: that perhaps you would be dealing with at a super Bowl. 345 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: They have to worry about that as well. So they're 346 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: going to be so there are those are pieces of 347 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: the event that generally speaking, the Super Bowl doesn't necessarily 348 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: have to worry about, that they have to account for, 349 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: and a run up and the run up to the 350 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: to the event. 351 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: And and how do how do you how do you 352 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 3: control how do I put this? How do you account 353 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 3: for the wild cards? I mean that that you know, 354 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 3: because you can control the ingress into the stadium, right, 355 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: everybody will have a ticket, You'll have metal detectors to 356 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 3: see if they're carrying anything damaging on them. But just 357 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 3: you know the weird at of left field stuff. I mean, 358 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 3: do they have these these uh sessions where they tried 359 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 3: to imagine what could somebody do? How would they do it? 360 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 3: Especially in this kind of supercharged atmosphere. How do you 361 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: prepare for the unthinkable? 362 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: Well, so you always plan for the wild cards, small 363 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: and big. And one of the things people will see 364 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: in an around the stadium is a pretty heavy, significant 365 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: secret service and law enforcement presence position throughout the stadium. 366 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: They're probably going to tap in a National Guard too, 367 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: because of the size of the stadium, and so there'll 368 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: be a physical security presence all throughout the stadium, throughout 369 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: where people are seated, so they'll see that. And those 370 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: are the eyes and ears in the reporting structure. If 371 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: a wild card happens, if a spontaneous protest breaks out, 372 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: or if somebody you know, some people start chanting ludicrous 373 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: things there. That's all built into the plant to have 374 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: a lack of a better term, a notification process and 375 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: then a react for us that could come in and 376 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: if people need to be removed, they can be removed. 377 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: And what do you do about about bombs about people 378 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 3: smuggling stuff in their cars? You can't well you can't 379 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 3: really go through every car, can you. 380 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: I mean, well, it all depends. So it depends on 381 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: the event, depends on the security architecture they put in 382 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: place for the event. But in some events they start 383 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: car they will sweep cars as they come near the 384 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: event site, depending on again what they're doing in that 385 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: particular event site. So it really depends on how they 386 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: put the security architecture together, I'm pretty sure. And if 387 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: they don't sweep the cars coming in, they may have 388 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: sweeping the parking lot as the event is building and 389 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: running knines and other technical assets through the parking lot 390 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: to detect these kind of things and to sort of 391 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: and that way if somebody does happen to bring something 392 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: in a car, they can detect it sooner rather than later. 393 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: I know Trump is alluded to wanting to investigate a 394 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: lot of activist groups, left wing groups that might be 395 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 3: might have been part of the plot or might empathize 396 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 3: or cheer happened to Charlie Kirk. That's another factor, right, 397 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 3: that somehow one of these groups will will infiltrate in 398 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 3: order to further the damage. And I imagine that they are. 399 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 3: FBI is probably monitoring these kinds of groups. 400 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: Now, I would think that anybody that is saying negative, disgusting, 401 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: violent things about Kirk is on somebody's radar, and they're 402 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: monitoring them. And for the Secret Service, those that have popped, 403 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: let's say the loudest and the brightest, they're going to 404 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: be on the look after these individuals coming to the 405 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: event site and they and if they're identified, they will 406 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: be interdicted. They'll be questions, and they'll make a determination 407 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: whether the individual's coming just to attend the event or 408 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: whether they're going to come to cause the problem. That's absent. 409 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: Of course, if somebody has a criminal history, that's another issue. 410 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: All Right, Don Muhallic, thank you for coming on. 411 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: Thanks John, thanks for having me. 412 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 3: All Right, ABC News law enforcement contributor and a retired 413 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 3: senior Secret Service agent. When we come back, I mentioned 414 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 3: before we played your little clip of this ABC News 415 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: reporter and his strange description of the killers loving texts 416 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 3: to his trans partners as he took responsibility for the killing. 417 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: We're gonna read his apology coming up next. And this 418 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 3: same reporter five years ago filed an extremely upsetting and 419 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: erroneous report regarding the Kobe Kobe Bryant crash. I'll tell 420 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 3: you about that. So this this guy has a history 421 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 3: just being bad at his bad at his job, but 422 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: he's one of the top national correspondents for ABC. It's 423 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: really strange. 424 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am 425 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 5: six forty. 426 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 3: I played a little while back ABC News reporter Matt 427 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: Gutman who was reading texts from the Charlie Kirk assassin 428 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 3: Tyler Robinson, and he called him very touching. If he's 429 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 3: just joining us, I'm going to play it again, play 430 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: cup three again. 431 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 4: If we have seen an alleged murder with such specific 432 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, 433 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 4: how it was placed, what was on it. But also 434 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 4: it was very touching in a way that I think 435 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 4: many of us didn't expect. A very intimate tortrait into 436 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 4: this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself, 437 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 4: with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling 438 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 4: him my love and I want to protect. 439 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 2: You, my love. 440 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 4: So it was this duality of someone who, the attorney said, 441 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 4: not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, 442 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 4: but was doing it in front of children, which is 443 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 4: one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on 444 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 4: the other hand, he was speaking so lovingly about his partner. 445 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 4: So very interesting, as Pierre said, riveting Prescott. 446 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 3: You believe that Tyler Robinson was writing to his trans partner, 447 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 3: and because of the way Robinson perceived Charlie Kirk's views, 448 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: he thought it was appropriate to assassinate Charlie Kirk in 449 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 3: front of Kirk's wife and children and thousands of other attendees, 450 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 3: and then reported on what happened back to the partner 451 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 3: in a very touching, loving way. That's an ABC News reporter, 452 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 3: Matt Gutman, So he posted this today yesterday, I tried 453 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 3: to underscore the jarring contrast between this cold blooded assassination 454 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: of Charlie Kirk a man who dedicated his life to 455 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 3: public dialogue and the personal disturbing texts read aloud by 456 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: the Utah County Attorney at the press conference. Yeah, but 457 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 3: the Utah County District Attorney did not call him deeply touching. 458 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 3: Regret that my words did not make that clear. But 459 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 3: let there be zero doubt here unequivocally condemned this horrific 460 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: crime and the pain had caused Charlie Kirk's family, those 461 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 3: who were forced to witness it at UVU, and the 462 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: millions of people he inspired. That's not much of an 463 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: apology that he deeply regrets. His words did not make 464 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,719 Speaker 3: it clear. It made it clear that this reporter was 465 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 3: quite emotional. He thought it was such a wonderful, loving 466 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 3: message that. 467 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: Tyler Robinson sent. 468 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: But the reason he killed Kirk is because he had 469 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 3: a trans partner and he was honored defending his honor. 470 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: And then somebody posted under Gutman's alleged apology, a replay 471 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 3: of what Matt Gutman did on January twenty sixth, twenty twenty. 472 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 3: He was here in Los angele Us. Remember this today, 473 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: I inaccurately reported It was believed that four of Kobe 474 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 3: Bryant's children were on board that flight and the helicopter 475 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: crashed into the mountain. That is incorrect. I apologize to 476 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: Kobe's family, friends and our viewers. So he wrongly, he 477 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 3: wrongly reported that four of Kobe's kids had died in 478 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 3: that crash. It was one which obulously horrific. He got 479 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 3: that completely wrong without checking it. Can you imagine the horror? 480 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 3: And do you imagine the emotional damage that caused even 481 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 3: beyond and but let's see what's his title again, just 482 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 3: in case you see him on TV. 483 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: I think he's the. 484 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 3: He's the chief national correspondent. There you go, Chief national correspondent. 485 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: That's the best they have. That's the number one guy 486 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 3: that they send out to cover the big national stories 487 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 3: because he gets it right and he hits chest the 488 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 3: right tone every time. Why was he so emotional about Tyler? 489 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 3: Tyler Robinson's love note? All killers, murderers, they have many 490 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: of them have wives and girlfriends. Even Hitler had a 491 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 3: girlfriend right he was underground with in the bunker.
