1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Our two Sean Hannity Show, seventy two days Americans abandoned 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: by Joe Biden behind the enemy lines. That would be 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: eighty five days since he promised not to do it. 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: And now we even have the Special emboy to Afghanistan 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: admitting there are still hundreds of Americans still there, but 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: Joe hasn't talked about it in over fifty days. We've 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: got a lot coming up one week from today. This 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: is getting pretty interesting. And that is what's going to 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: happen in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It'll be I don't 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: expect that New Jersey is in play like the Commonwealth 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: of Virginia. But if you've been watching the coverage down 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: in Virginia, you see Let's see, they brought in Stacy Abrams, 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Barack Obama joining us 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: for insight as to what this means for twenty twenty two. 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: He is the former chief of staff for President Trump, 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, former congressman and one of the founders and 17 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: past president of the Freedom Caucus in Washington. He's got 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: a brand new book coming. How we just put it 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: up on Hannity dot Com. It's out soon and it's 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: called The Chiefs Chief and I can't wait to read 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: the real insight story of what went on. Mister Meadow, Sir, 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: how are you? It's great to be with you, Sean. 23 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: And actually in that book there's a couple of mentions 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: of Sean Hannity, Yeah, how you actually sided with the 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: American people to make sure that not only their agenda 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: was the first priority, but to fight for liberty and freedom. 27 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: But you're you're exactly right, Sean. What's happening in Virginia 28 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: is Terry mccauliff stepped in it when he said parents 29 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: shouldn't be involved in their children's education, and then, you know, 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: to highlight and suggest that when they get involved their 31 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: domestic terrorists. You gotta be kidding me. I mean, most 32 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: school boards want parents to be involved. You know, the 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: old PTA was established to have parents and teachers working together. 34 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: And now Terry mcculiffe made the bad choice. He sided 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: with teachers unions over parents, and he's having the you know, 36 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: the rescue call went out for Barack Obama and everybody 37 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: else to come in and baile him out. I don't 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: know that it works. It's going to be right, look, 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden now is is now in the mid thirties, 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: and his approval rating, I mean, he's going down hell 41 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: faster than anything. And it's not a single topic I 42 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: can think of. Um, I don't know if I should 43 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: call you chief or Congressman, whatever you prefer, but but 44 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a single item I can look to. 45 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: Afghanistan has been a disaster, and we learn more about 46 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: that this weekend. The economy has been a disaster. The 47 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, look at the Putin waiver and you have 48 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: to wonder what the hell's going on here? Oh? You 49 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: do well, you know, And I talk about that in 50 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: the at the end of the book, it's a conversation 51 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: between me and President Trump where he's is, Mark, can 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: you believe that it's gotten this bad in just nine months? 53 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: And it was nine months at the time, and he said, 54 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: but but literally, when we when we look at what's happening, 55 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: whether it's the border, or whether it's inflation, or whether 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: it's thirteen Americans that lost their lives because of a 57 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: decision that was made that didn't have to be made. 58 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: Uh that way, it's it's unbelievable, you know. The other 59 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: the other night I was because I had to comment 60 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: on it. I watched an hour and a half of 61 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: TV was CNN Town Hall and Joe Biden. Let me 62 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: just tell you it was the most painful hour and 63 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: a half that I've ever had to watch. I can 64 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: tell you that, Hey, Mark, do you know how many 65 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: people watch that show? One point two million people? And 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: it was on a football night and we were all 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: way over two and a half times the audience. And 68 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: it didn't do anything special on that show. I can 69 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: tell you there was nothing special, And quite frankly, some 70 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: of us had to watch it just so that we 71 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: could go on on Fox to come in on exactly 72 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: what was happening. Anderson Cooper answered more questions than Joe Biden. 73 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden used to turn his back on the American people, 74 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 1: and it was just just pathetic. But here's the other 75 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: interesting thing is everybody wants to suggest that Donald Trump 76 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: has lost his influence, and they want to point to Virginia. 77 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: And I can tell you, not only has he not 78 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: lost his influence, his endorsement continues to be the most 79 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 1: powerful thing I've ever seen in politics. And quite frankly, 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people, even people who voted for Joe 81 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: Biden are wishing that they had voted for Donald Trump 82 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: because of what's happening to her out that confirms that today, 83 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: John McLaughlin, over twenty percent of Biden voters have regrets. 84 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: Of course they do. I mean, well they you know, 85 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: if they've got a mind, they all they have to 86 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: do is look at their pocketbook. Less money in their pocket, 87 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: the purchasing power is going further. And what's Joe Biden's 88 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: answer to that. He's going to knock on wood and 89 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: hope that it gets better. Knocking on wood is not 90 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: a plan. I mean, it is just as sad commentary 91 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: for what's happening. Somebody else. You've said it, somebody else 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: is calling in the shot. We also know they left 93 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: people behind in Afghanistan. They don't want to talk about it. 94 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: Each and every day we find out that there was 95 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: more to that than what they suggested. You know here 96 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: a few months ago, Well it's hundreds that they see 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: the problem with Joe Biden's decision making is everything's preventable. 98 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: These are self inflicted wounds. And like Afghanistan, the number 99 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: one I got you to be one of many sources, 100 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: including the President himself, and that's President Trump and also 101 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Pompeo. Is that you had a plan 102 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: that was predicated on if you do not follow every dotted, 103 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: I cross, tea comma and period, we will obliterate you, 104 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: just like we did the Talent, just like we did 105 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: the Caliphate, just like we did Baghdaddy and Solomoni, etc. 106 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: And also it included America would hang on to Bagram 107 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: Air Base. It also was conditions based on the ground. 108 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: Now and Joe Biden watched the Taliban takeover larger and 109 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: larger geographic portions of the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan, and 110 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: when he had full control of Cobble, why didn't he 111 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: withdraw our people, green card holders, our equipment, our allies 112 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: at the time when it was safe. Well, and that's 113 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: exactly the plan, and you're right, you verified it. That 114 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: was the plan that Donald Trump had. He didn't want one, 115 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: as he said, not one boat, not one nut left behind. 116 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: We needed to keep the air base. And sadly all 117 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: of that could have been avoided. The other thing that 118 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: happened that is not getting as much coverage. They let 119 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: the prisoners out of the prison and indeed it was 120 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: one of those prisoners who who actually was a suicide 121 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: bomber that took the lot that didn't have to happen, 122 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: and under President Trump it didn't have And you got 123 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: all kinds of people at the Department of Defense and 124 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and all of this saying, well this with 125 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump plans, it was not and we cover that. 126 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: I've spelled it out that you're right. Secretary Pompeo was 127 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: very clear it was conditioned based and the President Trump 128 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: at the time wanted to make sure we got out. 129 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: I hear the President in that call or numerous calls 130 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: with the Taliban leader was brutal and basically said, I 131 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: will use whatever means necessary to take you out, and 132 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: I know exactly where you are at this moment. Well, 133 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. I highlighted that in the chief Chief 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: I've got it almost verbade him there and it was 135 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: just a real chilling silence when you look at what 136 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: happened is and they believed him because he had taken 137 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: out al Back Daddy, he had taken out Solomony, and 138 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: when President Trump spoke and said We're going to make 139 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: sure that you're held accountable, they believed him. Joe Biden. 140 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: They laughed at it. I mean it's weakness, Uh, you know, 141 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: in the extreme that they get to see each and 142 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: every day. Sean. Let me let me ask you this, 143 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: because if you look at the disaster at the border, 144 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: President Trump got us to a point stay in Mexico policy, 145 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: building the wall, ending catch and release. Joe brings back 146 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: process and release. It's even worse. We'll have a thirty 147 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: year record minimum by the end of the year of 148 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. They also get special preferential treatment because there's 149 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: no COVID testing and there's no vaccine mandates for people 150 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: crossing the border. And then they get free transportation in 151 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: the dark of night. And then we're told that's an 152 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: early morning flight at for a I'm not a not 153 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: an overnight flight. And all of this was handled, and 154 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: then you look at the energy crisis. You know, Joe 155 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: Biden's now begging OPEC and we're now taking according to 156 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: Senator Brasso's office, we're now importing more oil from Russia 157 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: than we are from Alaska. All all of these these 158 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: are self inflict did wounds. So that has a ripple 159 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: effect on the entire economy. Well, it does. We went 160 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: from energy dominance under President Trump's to energy beggars under 161 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. You know, we were begging OPEC for this, 162 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: and you saw it early on when he gave he 163 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: did away with the Keystone pipeline, but agreed to Russia 164 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: that they could have their pipeline. So of course Russia 165 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: is enjoying the fruits of Biden's labor. But it's not 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: just that. It's when you when you come in with 167 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: what he's doing on the border, what he's done to jobs. 168 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: And here news flash, in this three point five trillion 169 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: dollars or whatever it ends up being bankruptcy bill that 170 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: Biden is talking about, you know, build back bankrupt I 171 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: mean what he's actually doing in there, they're giving ten 172 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: billion dollars that's billion with a bee to people who 173 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: have come here illegally. It is a bailout of the 174 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: American taxpayer dollars. Everybody that's tuned in right now be 175 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: just up in arms to see their hard working American 176 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars going to special interest groups and actually a 177 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: special group that the progressives want to support. What do 178 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: you think of mansion and cinema and where they're really 179 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: going to end up in this, you know, it's a 180 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: great question. I think Cinema has actually been holding tighter 181 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: on the tax part of it, which is not a 182 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: surprise Joe Mansion if he's really looking out for the 183 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: people of West Virginia. Really, this money is not going 184 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: to come A few dollars in what I call Washington 185 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: DC bailouts is not going to fix what ails them. 186 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: And essentially they're going to do away with all kinds 187 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: of businesses in West Virginia and across the way. But 188 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, Sean, is they're going to lower 189 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: the price tag. They're going to say, well, we negotiate 190 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: it real hard. But it's a it's a trojan horse 191 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: because what they're doing is putting all these progressive, left 192 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: wing policies in there, and they're only funding them for 193 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: a short ampeity of time, counting on Congress to go 194 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: ahead and continue to put the money forward there. This 195 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: week is going to be the difference maker and all 196 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: of that, And so if you're tuned in, call your 197 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: member of Congress, call your senator, apply the real pressure. 198 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: Hopefully some of the Freedom Caucus and some of the 199 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: Freedom Fighters will be able to stop it from happening 200 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: this week quick Break more with Mark Meadows. On the 201 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: other side, there is a shortage of practically everything in 202 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: this country right now, and many people are starting to panic, 203 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: rightfully so about finding Christmas gifts.

I'm almost in every book now that 212 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: comes out, except I usually don't read it. I end 213 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: up because I don't trust the people that are writing 214 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: it anyway.

It's coming out soon. The Chiefs Chief 217 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: by by Mark Meadows. What do you know and what 218 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: can you tell us? Did you get into Anthony Fauci 219 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: at all? But there's now that we realize that a 220 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: taxpayer money was in fact used to weaponize Chinese bat viruses, 221 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: at the Wuhan Virology Lab, something they have long denied. 222 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: I am shocked that there's not a greater outrage over this. Well, 223 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: that's because you're one of the few people, and Fox 224 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: is one of the few places that's actually covering it. Yeah, 225 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: so I do get in Fauci it takes every position 226 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: on an umber of issues, not just on the gain 227 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: of function. I talk about in the book where literally 228 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: late one night we find out that there's this funding 229 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: going on to the Wuhan Lab and President Trump and 230 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: I cut it off within minutes of finding out. But 231 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: doctor Founs he continues to advocate on behalf of that. 232 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: You know what they wanted to really denies that they 233 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: did it. I mean, and it's just not true. It's 234 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: just not true. And I mean and even and when 235 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: he went on his apology tour over the weekend trying 236 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: to suggest that he had no knowledge of it. There 237 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: needs to be a real investigation into that. I can 238 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: tell you there are emails from back in February of 239 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty that indicated that there was a real concern 240 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: about gain of function research that was going on in Wuhan, 241 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: and doctor Founcy was part of those emails, you know, now, 242 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: maybe he can say, by the way, there was one 243 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: on January thirty first that I pointed out, specifically that 244 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: it looked like one of the genomes and the sequence 245 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: of coronavirus. This is the day of the travel ban, 246 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: ten days after the first identified case of corona, that 247 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: he got a note from somebody saying it looked like 248 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: like it was manipulated in a lap. Oh, and that's 249 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: exactly right. But you cover that. And then what happens 250 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: is there's this all out blitz within hours of that 251 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: email saying we need to change the narrative, we need 252 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: to make sure that and indeed, within days the narrative 253 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: was changed. I can tell you the other thing, Doctor 254 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: Fausci never spelled out any of this when he was 255 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: in the Oval Office with President Trump. In fact, it 256 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: was President Trump that kept saying, we need to hold 257 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: China accountable. And now what we see is doctor Fauci 258 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: with Joe Biden and them, they want to give China 259 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: a path. It's time that we hold them accountable, and 260 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: it's time that we hold doctor Fausci accountable. I don't 261 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: think they'll hold China or Russia accountable by the looks 262 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: of it, because I think the whole family's compromised, and 263 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: that's a whole from to shoot for a different day. 264 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows with us, former chief of staff of President Trump. 265 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: His new book is coming out soon.

This is actually from somebody that 270 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: was there, not talking to a hearsay, anonymous source like 271 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: most every other book. But it's called The Chiefs Chief 272 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. Mark Meadows, thanks for being with us. 273 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: We appreciate it.

Toll free our numbers eight 278 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one sewn if you want to 279 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. All right, So we've 280 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: all been following this sad, tragic shooting that took place 281 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: on the set of this movie called Russ that was 282 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: being filmed Alec Baldwin in the movie anyway, he's responsible. 283 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: And this young woman I think his hair name is 284 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: Halli and Hutchins forty two, and she has a young 285 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: apparently young children died. There was another injured party in 286 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: this case, apparently a ricochet bullet. They call it a 287 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: prop gun. A prop gun isn't really a prop gun. 288 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: It's a real gun, but it shoots planks. And there 289 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: are a whole series of protocols that are to be 290 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: followed on the set of any movie. And now the 291 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: question is, for example, people are beginning to speak up. 292 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: The chief electrician says this death was the result of 293 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: negligence and unprofessionalism. Now it's raising a lot of questions 294 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: about potential legal consequences for Alec Baldwin. The worst case scenario. 295 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: Legal experts, for example, or suggesting that Baldwin could face 296 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: an involuntary manslaughter charge if he found if it's found 297 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: to be reckless in the terms of handling of the weapon. 298 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: The other issue that has now come to light is 299 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: apparently there was a walk off the set by a 300 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: number of union members because there were at least two 301 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: accidental gun charges on this set prior to this moment. 302 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: When this woman, the cinema photographer was shot, and there 303 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: were other discharges that had taken place on October I 304 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: believe sixteenth, and former crew members said that prompted a 305 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: complaint to supervisors about the safety practices on the set, 306 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: and then the crew members actually decided to walk out 307 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: because they felt it was safe working conditions. Is apparently 308 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: a low budget film. The nine one one calls came 309 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: in and then here's two of them done publicational emergency, 310 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: the Nancy Creek Rancial setting. People accidentally shot on a 311 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: movie set by a pop gun. We need healthy media, 312 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: like so was it loaded with a real bullet or 313 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: I cannot tell you that you were rehearsing and it 314 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: went off and I ran out, We all ran out. 315 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: They were doubled over the ID and the camera woman 316 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: and then yelled at me at once because the outcome 317 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: about revisions. You can and yell at me. He's such 318 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: a Checktiven's responsible for how many no no no, I'm 319 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: a script supervir all right. Joining us now on this 320 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: on the legal questions that may or it may not exist. 321 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: Our friend Greg jarrett Um, he of course has his 322 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: own podcast. It's called The Brief and uh you know, 323 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: I think you agree with me. I can't get to 324 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: in spite of Alc Baldwin hating my guts, I always 325 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: try to be true to the principle of due process, 326 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: presumption of innocence until proven guilty. I just can't get 327 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: I can't get to the fact where I believe that 328 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: he would in any way be part of something to 329 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: shoot an innocent woman such as this. It just doesn't 330 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: make that. I can't get there. I don't believe that happened. Well, 331 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: But with that said, you're pointing out in your column 332 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: that there is legal liability potential here. That's right, because Sean, 333 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: even an accidental death can actually rise to the level 334 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: of criminal homicide if it involves reckless acts or grossly 335 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: negligent conduct, especially if the tragic consequences reasonably foreseeable. As 336 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: you point out, three members of the film crew had 337 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: reportedly stated there were two other accidental gun discharges on 338 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: that very set days before the fatal shooting. That puts 339 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: everybody in charge, including Alec Baldwin as an on location producer. 340 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: It puts them onnotice there's a problem here. Did they 341 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: immediately shut down operations and conduct an investigation and make 342 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: sure this didn't happen again. You know, these are dangerous 343 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: lethal instrumentalities, even if they're supposed to be used as 344 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: a prop to real guns that are supposed to be 345 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: filled is empty casinges known as blanks. But you know 346 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: what is confounding to me is that this low budget 347 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: film hired a very inexperienced armorer by the name of 348 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: Hannah gautieris. This was her second film, and she was 349 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: on a recent podcast saying essentially that you know, she 350 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: was worried about her inexperience, her lack of capability. You know, 351 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: the armorers, the person who maintains the weapons, handle, secures them, 352 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: loads them with blank cartridges, and she's supposed to check 353 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: and double check the gun. And she's the one who's 354 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: supposed to hand it to the actor, not the assistant director. 355 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: So we're seeing here already that you know, the rules, 356 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: the standards and duties were breached, and that leads to 357 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: things like involuntary manslaughter, which is a lack of due 358 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: caution resulting in death. But in most cases, when there's 359 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: a firearm on the set of a movie, when the 360 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: movie's being shot, there is one person whose job it 361 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: is to ensure that this doesn't happen, and there was 362 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: such a person right that was identified here now according 363 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: to we get mixed reports, but it has been reported 364 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: by a number of sources that Alec Baldwin was told 365 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: that the gun is cold, meaning that it only has 366 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: blanks in it, and apparently he was rehearsing and apparently 367 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: he aimed at the camera with a cinematographer I guess 368 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: was right behind the camera, and she's the one that 369 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: got shot and got killed. Then there was a ricochet 370 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: and I think a director or a producer, you know, 371 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: got hit with the ricochet and thankfully he's okay, but 372 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: this woman's dead. You know, Look, there was a prior incident, 373 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: so they're put on notice. Even if Alec Baldwin, on location, producer, producer, 374 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: in addition to being the act was unaware of these 375 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: gun mishaps, you know, he should have been aware of it, 376 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: and a prosecutor would argue that a responsible director would 377 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: have put procedures in place to make sure that such 378 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: vital information about gun discharges was conveyed to him in 379 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: his executive capacity overseeing the film, and failure to do so, 380 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: Sean is a kind of recklessness. And negligence. That the 381 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: law forbids when you accept an increased role of responsibility 382 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: for a production as a producer, that carries with it 383 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: a corresponding increased duty to protect the employees. So, while 384 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: I agree with you that if Boldwin had no idea 385 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: there was an actual bullet in the project or projectile 386 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: in the gun, he can't be charged with murder, but 387 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: he could be charged with a lesser offensive involuntary manslaughter 388 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: for being negligent as a producer on location. So where 389 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: do you see this going here? I mean, what is 390 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: the process now? I've assume they're going to do a 391 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: forensic investigation. I don't know if the shell casing is available, 392 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: but I would imagine it would be right. So they'll 393 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: check for fingerprints, they'll do all the forensic, normal forensic 394 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: police work that they would do. How do you prove 395 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: negligence on this level? Well, it's fairly obvious in many ways. 396 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: For example, they will introduce they will investigate and interview 397 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: David Halls. He is the assistant director who picked up 398 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: the gun off a cart candidate to Baldwin and yo 399 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: coal gun. Where in the world did he get that information? 400 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: He's not qualified to make that decision. He is not 401 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: the one who is supposed to ever touch that firearm. 402 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: It is supposed to be under the standards in the industry, 403 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: only the armorer who hands the prop guns and personally 404 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: delivers them to the actors. So why did Haul not 405 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: Gutierrez give the weapon to Baldwin? So there's negligence right there, 406 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: that seems fairly obvious. But what about gutierret the armor herself, 407 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: who who loaded the gun and is supposed to secure 408 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: the gun. You know, she gave a podcast interview and 409 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: that interview will be used against her as nearly a 410 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: confession that she was incompetent on the job, and so 411 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: that's also criminal negligence. And you know, I see this 412 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: very similar to the nineteen eighty two filming in the 413 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: Twilight Zone. The movie actor Vicmorrow two child actors killed 414 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: the director and several production managers and producers were charged 415 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: with involuntary manslaughter. They were later acquitted by a jury. 416 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: That case represents the chilling reminder that so called accidental 417 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: desks in Moviema are still prosecutable as crimes. All right, 418 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: quick break more with Greg Jarrett on the other side. 419 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine for one. Seawan is our number 420 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 421 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: A right more with Greg Jarrett on potential legal liability 422 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: for Alec Baldwin and those working on the set with 423 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: this tragedy occurred late last week. It's going to be 424 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: interesting too, because again, if this was a conservative, if 425 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: it was Charlton Heston back in the day when when 426 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: he was the president of the NRA, I'm sure there 427 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: would be a whole different take, and of course he'd 428 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: be blamed for it. But there's somebody whose role it 429 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: is to make sure that that that's a real blank 430 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: in that in that weapon. And what really bothers me, 431 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: I guess on top of everything is they should not 432 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: have had live rounds there. Anyway. You know, if you 433 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: bring a firearm into your house, it is a great responsibility. 434 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: I've had a license to carry my whole adult life 435 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: in Rhode Island, California, Alabama, Georgia, New York. I've carried 436 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: weapons my entire life, and you have no I have 437 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: more fingerprints safe in every location than you'd ever imagine 438 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: because I believe in guns safety first. Yeah, I agree 439 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: with you. I I'm bewildered that anyone would bring real 440 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: ammunition to the set of a movie. Why, I mean, 441 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: there's no reason for that. And yes, it's sort of 442 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: a habit in the industry, and it's a bad one 443 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: to use real guns but load them with blanks, and 444 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: some like gautieris the armorer was also using something else 445 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: called dummy wads. They're different than blanks. They replicate the 446 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: exact appearance of real bullets inside a gun's cylinder, as 447 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: if anybody you know watching a movie would actually see 448 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: that through the similar Is it possible that she just 449 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: failed to distinguish between a dummy wad and a real 450 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: bullet and confused herself when she loaded the gun. In 451 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: other words, was this a totally preventable mistake that should 452 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: never have happened had there been a knowledgeable and capable 453 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: armorer instead of a twenty four year old neophy who 454 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: may not have even been licensed. Did this happen because 455 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: it was a low budget film and they're sacrificing the 456 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: safety of the actors and the production crew and to 457 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: save money, all of these things will be part of 458 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: the picture. Well. I think there's two main things, though, 459 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: I think the most damning information as they had two 460 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: other incidents involving yeah, a real bullet number one. Then 461 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: you have the issue of the crew, I mean the 462 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: people that are union walking off the job because the 463 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: safety concerns and that you've had, You had a problem 464 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 1: with this very issue, so it wasn't dealt with, and 465 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: they had an opportunity to deal with it. Now, maybe 466 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: if the person really is knowledgeable in the use of firearms, 467 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: You're in the desert in Santa Fe and there might 468 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: be a safe place for people to shoot real bullets 469 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: at targets. But you would need great specific care to 470 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: distinguish between a blank and a real and a real bullet. Yeah, 471 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: you would. And you've got to have somebody who's more 472 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: experienced and knowledgeable and better trained than somebody who is 473 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: twenty four years old and self taught, although she claimed 474 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: she learned some from her father, who is a licensed 475 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: armor or and a stunt man. But right, you know, 476 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: that may not be good enough, and you can bet 477 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: if charges are brought, the prosecutors will make that argument 478 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: that this is a person who just wasn't competent or 479 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: capable enough to be handling such dangerous mentalities with saw 480 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: any other innocent people standing nearby and failed controlled the 481 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: weapon itself, leading it on a card to the assistant 482 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: director who should never have touched the gun to pick 483 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: it up, and assumed that it was a cold weapon, 484 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: that it was a deadly assumption. Well, obviously, all right, 485 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: we'll watch it closely, but it's certainly a little bit 486 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: more complex than maybe we thought towards the end of 487 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: this week. My guess is, it sounds like a terrible 488 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: series of horrible tragedies, and there were signs that this 489 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: was going badly, and nobody stepped up to take control 490 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: of the situation, which they should have that right, and 491 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: that's what makes it, you know, a criminally negligent. That's 492 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: where the legal side comes in, and that's where it 493 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: gets interesting. Now, I don't think it happens because of 494 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: course you're dealing with Democrats and that there's a whole 495 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: different set of standards.
