Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Justice Process | Allen Jackson Now | September 17, 2025

Good evening, and welcome to nashville.
00:00:05.230 --> 00:00:07.265
I'm alan jackson.
00:00:07.265 --> 00:00:08.767
The first duty of government is to protect us.
00:00:08.767 --> 00:00:11.703
But in reality, without a truthful media
00:00:11.703 --> 00:00:13.972
And voices in leadership that are honest,
00:00:13.972 --> 00:00:16.308
The police cannot maintain safety, open borders, cities
00:00:16.308 --> 00:00:19.644
With our laws. we have created violence.
00:00:19.644 --> 00:00:22.214
And then we ask police to make us safe.
00:00:22.214 --> 00:00:25.283
Well, charlie kirk spoke frequently about the threats
00:00:25.283 --> 00:00:27.619
He and his turning point organization received,
00:00:27.619 --> 00:00:30.021
Even as he raced around the country meeting
00:00:30.021 --> 00:00:31.957
With as many students as he could.
00:00:31.957 --> 00:00:34.359
This fall's campus tour was called
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.094
The american comeback tour, and he sat behind a simple table
00:00:36.094 --> 00:00:40.031
Under a tent that said, prove me wrong.
00:00:40.031 --> 00:00:43.301
It was a very smart way of demonstrating
00:00:43.301 --> 00:00:45.170
The first amendment to our young people.
00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:47.439
College is supposed to be about growing
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.941
And learning and meeting new friends.
00:00:49.941 --> 00:00:51.643
Football games and frisbees.
00:00:51.643 --> 00:00:53.678
But last week, the screams we heard weren't from sports.
00:00:53.678 --> 00:00:56.982
They were from terrified students
00:00:56.982 --> 00:00:58.583
Running from a rifle shot.
00:00:58.583 --> 00:01:00.552
A suspect has been arrested.
00:01:00.552 --> 00:01:02.320
Utah has the death penalty,
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.256
And the accused has admitted to friends that he did it.
00:01:04.256 --> 00:01:07.559
But what needs to be done to put together a legal case
00:01:07.559 --> 00:01:09.961
That ensures that justice is done?
00:01:09.961 --> 00:01:12.764
Well, our guest tonight is the senior
00:01:12.764 --> 00:01:14.733
Legal fellow at the heritage foundation, carly stimson.
00:01:14.733 --> 00:01:17.903
Welcome back, sir.
00:01:18.336 --> 00:01:20.105
Thanks for having me, alan.
00:01:20.105 --> 00:01:22.140
There is
00:01:22.407 --> 00:01:23.041
A video of tyler robinson.
00:01:23.041 --> 00:01:25.844
There are dna samples
00:01:25.844 --> 00:01:27.379
And text messages from his transgender roommate.
00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:30.582
He told his father that he'd rather die than be turned in.
00:01:30.582 --> 00:01:34.619
But he was turned in, and he's behind bars now.
00:01:34.619 --> 00:01:37.556
The governor says that robinson is not cooperating,
00:01:37.556 --> 00:01:40.258
And they have him on a suicide watch.
00:01:40.258 --> 00:01:42.861
What else needs to be done to put together the case?
00:01:42.861 --> 00:01:46.064
So, no doubt with all those kids in that audience, the fbi
00:01:47.199 --> 00:01:51.703
And the local officials are going through
00:01:51.703 --> 00:01:53.371
Any videos that those kids have, and they'll upload that
00:01:53.371 --> 00:01:56.474
And comb through that to see if there's anything
00:01:56.474 --> 00:01:58.276
Damning or exculpatory.
00:01:58.276 --> 00:02:00.078
Because remember, the government
00:02:00.078 --> 00:02:01.213
Has the obligation to turn over potentially exculpatory
00:02:01.213 --> 00:02:04.149
Information to the defense counsel.
00:02:04.149 --> 00:02:06.351
They'll look at like in the brian cole burger case
00:02:06.351 --> 00:02:09.321
And he cell site location information, which pings
00:02:09.321 --> 00:02:12.324
Various cell towers as he went from uvu south to southern
00:02:12.324 --> 00:02:15.527
Utah and back.
00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:16.828
They'll look at video from highway patrol.
00:02:16.828 --> 00:02:20.298
They'll look also at dna, which could have been left
00:02:20.298 --> 00:02:23.168
On various guardrails, handrails on the gun.
00:02:23.168 --> 00:02:26.304
They'll look at the ballistics
00:02:26.304 --> 00:02:27.639
If they can find the bullet and see the lanes and grooves
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.242
Of that bullet to see whether it matches
00:02:30.242 --> 00:02:32.043
That 36 that they found and other information.
00:02:32.043 --> 00:02:34.279
So this is a puzzle
00:02:34.279 --> 00:02:35.747
That you have to put together when you're a prosecutor.
00:02:35.747 --> 00:02:37.716
And i've been a prosecutor.
00:02:37.716 --> 00:02:39.451
Takes time.
00:02:39.451 --> 00:02:40.685
Now, fortunately, the full weight of the federal
00:02:40.685 --> 00:02:42.520
Government has been cooperating,
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.022
And they've already tested a lot of the information
00:02:44.022 --> 00:02:46.424
At the quantico lab.
00:02:46.424 --> 00:02:47.792
And so this will take time.
00:02:47.792 --> 00:02:49.961
And obviously,
00:02:49.961 --> 00:02:50.929
They're now seeking the ultimate punishment,
00:02:50.929 --> 00:02:52.197
Which under utah law has a certain aggravating factor.
00:02:52.197 --> 00:02:54.733
And the prosecutor just laid out what
00:02:54.733 --> 00:02:56.001
Those aggravating factors are.
00:02:56.001 --> 00:02:57.902
When you consider the two incidents of shooters
00:02:57.902 --> 00:03:00.405
Targeting the president as well as charlie
00:03:00.405 --> 00:03:02.440
Kirk, it points to a full on attack
00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:05.210
On the make america great movement.
00:03:05.210 --> 00:03:07.479
Senator lindsey graham had this to say.
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.582
There is an effort
00:03:10.582 --> 00:03:11.716
By the radical left to dehumanize the maga movement,
00:03:11.716 --> 00:03:15.587
And i don't i reject political violence.
00:03:15.587 --> 00:03:19.024
If you are offended by what somebody says or does,
00:03:19.024 --> 00:03:22.727
Then then take up a political cost to fight back.
00:03:22.727 --> 00:03:25.930
Not a gun, not a bomb, not a knife.
00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:29.034
The white house says there's going to be an effort
00:03:30.068 --> 00:03:32.137
To track down
00:03:32.137 --> 00:03:32.804
And stop the left leaning groups
00:03:32.804 --> 00:03:34.539
That traffic and hate and violence.
00:03:34.539 --> 00:03:36.608
What do you think they'll be able to accomplish?
00:03:36.608 --> 00:03:39.844
Hard to tell at this point.
00:03:39.844 --> 00:03:41.413
Now, there's one thing
00:03:41.413 --> 00:03:42.647
Between which we all cherish protected first amendment speech
00:03:42.647 --> 00:03:46.985
And the freedom of association,
00:03:46.985 --> 00:03:48.520
Which i think everyone
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:49.721
In the light of right and left should be able to agree on.
00:03:49.721 --> 00:03:52.857
And the expenditure of moneys,
00:03:52.857 --> 00:03:55.794
Which is lawful in most instances,
00:03:55.794 --> 00:03:58.396
Supporting free speech and freedom of association.
00:03:58.396 --> 00:04:01.066
But you cross a line when that expenditure of money
00:04:01.066 --> 00:04:04.536
Intentionally funds individuals who then
00:04:04.536 --> 00:04:07.939
Either by direction or by wink, wink, nod,
00:04:08.807 --> 00:04:11.710
Nod, then engage in acts of violence or worse.
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:15.280
And so i think when they impanel grand juries,
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.782
When they do oversight hearings
00:04:17.782 --> 00:04:19.250
And they get to the bottom of whether that money
00:04:19.250 --> 00:04:22.654
Went to good things or intentionally bad things,
00:04:22.654 --> 00:04:25.390
We don't know the answer to that yet.
00:04:25.390 --> 00:04:26.958
But investigations are coming.
00:04:26.958 --> 00:04:28.593
Well, i'm thinking of the other young man who gunned down
00:04:29.728 --> 00:04:32.230
The health care ceo in new york, luigi mangione.
00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:36.101
He has $1 million gofundme account now
00:04:36.101 --> 00:04:38.770
From people who are sympathetic to his cause.
00:04:38.770 --> 00:04:41.806
Sick as that might be.
00:04:41.806 --> 00:04:43.441
Do you think charlie kirk's killer
00:04:43.441 --> 00:04:44.709
Is going to get a similar response?
00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:46.177
And is there anything that we can do about it legally?
00:04:46.177 --> 00:04:49.381
Hard to tell.
00:04:49.381 --> 00:04:51.216
Too early to tell.
00:04:51.216 --> 00:04:52.317
And in fact, i think if people want to fund a killer,
00:04:52.317 --> 00:04:56.087
Killer's defense, there's nothing illegal about it.
00:04:56.087 --> 00:04:59.257
I find it revolting and and vomit vomits personally.
00:04:59.257 --> 00:05:02.794
But remember, that, the cop killers all across this country,
00:05:02.794 --> 00:05:07.132
Especially like mama, mama abdul-jabbar,
00:05:07.132 --> 00:05:10.702
Who killed a philadelphia police officer years ago.
00:05:10.702 --> 00:05:14.572
There's a sort of a love me page for this guy.
00:05:14.572 --> 00:05:16.875
There's a movement,
00:05:16.875 --> 00:05:18.443
Behind, this guy and so there's always people
00:05:18.443 --> 00:05:22.113
Who take the side of the murderer.
00:05:22.113 --> 00:05:24.449
And unless they're doing
00:05:24.983 --> 00:05:26.251
Something besides just paying money, it's despicable.
00:05:26.251 --> 00:05:29.320
But it's lawful.
00:05:29.320 --> 00:05:31.689
Well, there's other dangers on campus this fall.
00:05:31.689 --> 00:05:33.925
At least ten schools have been victims of swatting incidents.
00:05:33.925 --> 00:05:37.695
Swatting is when someone calls in an active shooter threat
00:05:37.695 --> 00:05:40.432
To disrupt classes and scare the student body and staff.
00:05:40.432 --> 00:05:43.868
One of them happened a couple
00:05:43.868 --> 00:05:45.069
Hours from here at the university of tennessee
00:05:45.069 --> 00:05:47.005
In chattanooga.
00:05:47.005 --> 00:05:48.540
An online site called purgatory
00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:51.109
Is taking credit for creating the chaos.
00:05:51.109 --> 00:05:54.279
It's a disturbing
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:55.513
Sign of the times where someone wants the credit for chaos.
00:05:55.513 --> 00:05:59.017
What can you tell us, and what can be done
00:05:59.017 --> 00:06:01.052
To prosecute the people behind these incidents?
00:06:01.052 --> 00:06:03.922
Yeah, and think about this, allen.
00:06:03.922 --> 00:06:06.157
The first swatting incident
00:06:06.157 --> 00:06:07.792
Happened in over a dozen schools.
00:06:07.792 --> 00:06:09.794
Colleges happened just after the catholic school shooting case.
00:06:09.794 --> 00:06:15.099
So imagine the parents.
00:06:15.099 --> 00:06:17.068
And i'm a parent of college students.
00:06:17.068 --> 00:06:18.503
Imagine the parents of those students
00:06:18.503 --> 00:06:20.338
Getting the texts from their kids.
00:06:20.338 --> 00:06:21.906
My school is on lockdown.
00:06:21.906 --> 00:06:23.374
There's an active shooter in it.
00:06:23.374 --> 00:06:25.510
It was even worse because some of the squatters who called in
00:06:25.510 --> 00:06:28.913
Had the sound fake of gunshots going on.
00:06:28.913 --> 00:06:32.650
So it was intentionally horrific,
00:06:32.650 --> 00:06:35.920
To be sort of terrorizing these students.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.990
And so
00:06:38.990 --> 00:06:40.191
Whether they use burner phones when whether they went through
00:06:40.191 --> 00:06:42.494
Other proxies,
00:06:42.494 --> 00:06:43.561
Whether they went through servers around the world
00:06:43.561 --> 00:06:45.463
That then bounced to the schools, i don't know.
00:06:45.463 --> 00:06:48.233
But we got to get to the bottom of it.
00:06:48.233 --> 00:06:49.734
And, and the people who did
00:06:49.734 --> 00:06:51.536
This need to be punished accordingly.
00:06:51.536 --> 00:06:54.072
Well, these swatting calls are no joke.
00:06:54.072 --> 00:06:56.140
As i understand
00:06:56.140 --> 00:06:57.375
It, the penalty, if convicted, can be as much as 5 to 20 years.
00:06:57.375 --> 00:07:01.179
What are some of the other dangers
00:07:01.179 --> 00:07:02.547
When swatting incidents happen?
00:07:02.547 --> 00:07:04.616
Well,
00:07:04.616 --> 00:07:05.850
It can be longer than 20 years too, because if, for example,
00:07:05.850 --> 00:07:09.587
Under federal law, if somebody engaged in swatting
00:07:09.587 --> 00:07:12.891
And somebody died as a result of the swat, and you can imagine,
00:07:12.891 --> 00:07:17.028
A person freaking out thinking that their shooting going on,
00:07:17.028 --> 00:07:20.331
Running down stairs, tripping, fall and hitting their head
00:07:20.331 --> 00:07:23.434
And dying,
00:07:23.434 --> 00:07:24.469
Or somebody breaks a leg or somebody
00:07:24.469 --> 00:07:26.604
Does something like that where they get injured.
00:07:26.604 --> 00:07:28.840
It can add to the exposure.
00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:31.075
Penalty wise.
00:07:31.075 --> 00:07:31.910
And so, this is terrible.
00:07:31.910 --> 00:07:34.145
Not only does it cause chaos and then potentially long term
00:07:34.145 --> 00:07:38.016
Mental health issues for the students
00:07:38.016 --> 00:07:39.784
And the faculty and the staff at the schools,
00:07:39.784 --> 00:07:42.587
But it's just disturbing overall.
00:07:42.587 --> 00:07:44.856
And so it is despicable.
00:07:44.856 --> 00:07:46.758
And these people, deserve every day they get in prison
00:07:46.758 --> 00:07:50.528
If they're caught.
00:07:50.528 --> 00:07:51.863
Amen.
00:07:51.863 --> 00:07:53.064
Well, i hope you'll stay with us for another segment.
00:07:53.064 --> 00:07:55.199
I'd like to discuss the president's plan for memphis
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.769
And your new book. when we come back.
00:07:57.769 --> 00:08:06.006
And your new book. when we come back.
00:08:06.006 --> 00:08:12.051
We're back now with kelly
00:08:12.618 --> 00:08:14.119
Stimson, the senior legal fellow at the heritage foundation.
00:08:14.119 --> 00:08:17.990
You've got a new book out called rogue prosecutors.
00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:21.594
There certainly seem to be a lot of them out there.
00:08:21.594 --> 00:08:23.495
No one knows better about that than president trump.
00:08:23.495 --> 00:08:26.732
Tell us what you've learned about how bad things
00:08:26.732 --> 00:08:29.301
Have become since trump entered politics.
00:08:29.301 --> 00:08:32.371
Yeah.
00:08:32.371 --> 00:08:33.138
So the rogue prosecutor movement,
00:08:33.138 --> 00:08:34.607
Which is funded and conceived of by george soros back in 2016,
00:08:34.607 --> 00:08:38.677
Realized that the da is the gatekeeper
00:08:38.677 --> 00:08:40.746
To the criminal justice system.
00:08:40.746 --> 00:08:42.181
He and he alone decides who gets prosecuted, who doesn't.
00:08:42.181 --> 00:08:45.351
And these are low dollar, low
00:08:45.351 --> 00:08:46.652
Visibility races around the country.
00:08:46.652 --> 00:08:49.455
And so since there's 2300 elected da's,
00:08:49.455 --> 00:08:51.790
You can really sprinkle money
00:08:51.790 --> 00:08:53.325
Very effectively around the country, which they've done.
00:08:53.325 --> 00:08:56.161
And even though there's 2300, they have elected about 73
00:08:56.161 --> 00:08:59.264
Around the country,
00:08:59.264 --> 00:09:00.432
But that represents 68% of the population of the country.
00:09:00.432 --> 00:09:04.036
So you got one there in tennessee, steve mulroy
00:09:04.036 --> 00:09:06.739
Got over $600,000 of soros affiliated money.
00:09:06.739 --> 00:09:10.509
And they have a playbook and they all operate off
00:09:10.509 --> 00:09:12.745
The same playbook,
00:09:12.745 --> 00:09:13.912
Watered down felonies to misdemeanors, don't
00:09:13.912 --> 00:09:15.848
Prosecute misdemeanors, don't send violent juveniles
00:09:15.848 --> 00:09:18.484
To adult court.
00:09:18.484 --> 00:09:19.618
Never ask for cash bail.
00:09:19.618 --> 00:09:21.120
Don't ask for life without parole.
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.755
Et cetera, et cetera, etc..
00:09:22.755 --> 00:09:24.089
And what happens when they do that?
00:09:24.089 --> 00:09:25.190
Crime explodes in their cities.
00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:27.426
And so this is a dastardly plan.
00:09:27.426 --> 00:09:30.062
And luckily, people like george gascon in la,
00:09:30.996 --> 00:09:34.199
Chesa boudin in san francisco,
00:09:34.199 --> 00:09:35.868
Kim fox in chicago, the first 1 in 2017,
00:09:35.868 --> 00:09:39.004
Marilyn mosby in baltimore, some others left office.
00:09:39.004 --> 00:09:41.940
The moral rois are still there.
00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:43.409
The jose garza's down in austin, texas, are still there.
00:09:43.409 --> 00:09:46.545
And so when trump decides he's going to go into these
00:09:46.545 --> 00:09:50.049
Red states with blue cities who have violent crime problems,
00:09:50.049 --> 00:09:55.020
He can cooperate and work with the governor
00:09:55.020 --> 00:09:57.089
To bring up their state guard, to second them,
00:09:57.089 --> 00:09:59.358
To the local police, to help make the arrests.
00:09:59.358 --> 00:10:02.628
The real question in memphis is
00:10:02.628 --> 00:10:04.897
They're going to make more arrests.
00:10:04.897 --> 00:10:06.098
They're going to get bad guys in handcuffs.
00:10:06.098 --> 00:10:08.600
But is mulroy going to finally do his job?
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.370
And when he doesn't, because they're not inclined to do it,
00:10:11.370 --> 00:10:14.673
That puts a spotlight on what the real problem is.
00:10:14.673 --> 00:10:18.343
He did that in d.c. that was great.
00:10:18.343 --> 00:10:20.546
He threatened chicago.
00:10:20.546 --> 00:10:21.914
The democratic governor wasn't going to play ball
00:10:21.914 --> 00:10:24.149
With the national guard, and he probably was on legal,
00:10:24.149 --> 00:10:26.752
Pretty strong ground on that one.
00:10:26.752 --> 00:10:28.487
But in tennessee and other red states
00:10:28.487 --> 00:10:30.189
With blue city murder problems,
00:10:30.189 --> 00:10:31.890
You can do that and you can isolate what the problem is.
00:10:31.890 --> 00:10:35.127
You know, it seems to
00:10:35.627 --> 00:10:36.862
Me we've got almost a toxic soup started with an open border.
00:10:36.862 --> 00:10:40.132
We had sanctuary cities.
00:10:40.132 --> 00:10:42.201
We have cities now that want to enforce ice regulations.
00:10:42.201 --> 00:10:44.737
We have prosecutors that ignore the laws
00:10:44.737 --> 00:10:46.805
Or the penalties for breaking the laws.
00:10:46.805 --> 00:10:49.174
This is a collection that makes all of us less safe,
00:10:49.174 --> 00:10:51.977
Doesn't it?
00:10:51.977 --> 00:10:53.078
100%.
00:10:53.078 --> 00:10:54.179
And now that trump
00:10:54.179 --> 00:10:56.281
Has secured the border, and started,
00:10:56.281 --> 00:10:59.985
An aggressive removal proceedings process,
00:10:59.985 --> 00:11:02.888
You still have those cities with what i call the toxic trio.
00:11:02.888 --> 00:11:06.792
Soros rogue prosecutor, the defund the police movement,
00:11:06.792 --> 00:11:09.695
Or the ramifications of previous
00:11:09.695 --> 00:11:12.264
Cuttings of their budgets, and then the dehumanizing
00:11:12.264 --> 00:11:15.100
And demoralizing of the police force.
00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:17.436
Dc here is down 800 officers
00:11:17.436 --> 00:11:20.372
From their expected workforce size.
00:11:20.372 --> 00:11:23.475
Other cities
00:11:23.475 --> 00:11:24.576
Have defunded the police or cut back significantly.
00:11:24.576 --> 00:11:27.179
And then when, of course, crime goes up,
00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:28.614
They're like, wait, wait, wait, where's the police?
00:11:28.614 --> 00:11:30.783
Well you city council,
00:11:30.783 --> 00:11:32.117
You county council people, you cut their budgets.
00:11:32.117 --> 00:11:34.620
And so look, there's a tried and true way to fight crime.
00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:38.423
Ready prosecution.
00:11:38.423 --> 00:11:40.659
Prosecutors should prosecute.
00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:42.294
Defense counsel should defend.
00:11:42.294 --> 00:11:43.996
Judges should judge.
00:11:43.996 --> 00:11:45.397
Police officers should be well-trained and well funded.
00:11:45.397 --> 00:11:49.234
Boom. when that happens.
00:11:49.234 --> 00:11:50.969
And in cities where that happens,
00:11:50.969 --> 00:11:52.237
Like san diego county where i used to be a prosecutor,
00:11:52.237 --> 00:11:54.840
And when my wife was a prosecutor,
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.408
They didn't have this massive crime
00:11:56.408 --> 00:11:58.177
Spike like you saw back in 2017.
00:11:58.177 --> 00:12:00.112
And when the
00:12:00.112 --> 00:12:01.346
George floyd riots happened, they didn't have a big spike.
00:12:01.346 --> 00:12:03.982
That's because they had that that perfect setup
00:12:03.982 --> 00:12:07.920
Of what you need to enforce good order and discipline
00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:10.289
And the law in those cities.
00:12:10.289 --> 00:12:12.858
You know, you've already mentioned that george
00:12:13.826 --> 00:12:15.260
Soros and his son
00:12:15.260 --> 00:12:16.261
Are behind the lax prosecutions that have helped
00:12:16.261 --> 00:12:18.430
Create these dangers on the street.
00:12:18.430 --> 00:12:20.599
President trump thinks he can begin to take down soros.
00:12:20.599 --> 00:12:23.869
Listen to his comments.
00:12:24.369 --> 00:12:26.004
We're going to look into source
00:12:26.004 --> 00:12:27.239
Because i think it's a rico case against him and other people
00:12:27.239 --> 00:12:30.576
Because this is more than like protests.
00:12:30.576 --> 00:12:32.511
This is real agitation.
00:12:32.511 --> 00:12:33.979
This is riots on the street.
00:12:33.979 --> 00:12:37.382
Help us to understand what the president thinks
00:12:37.382 --> 00:12:39.218
He can do about soros.
00:12:39.218 --> 00:12:41.687
Well, read chapter two.
00:12:41.687 --> 00:12:43.121
In our book,
00:12:43.121 --> 00:12:43.622
We focused entirely on
00:12:43.622 --> 00:12:44.957
The funding of the soros rogue prosecutors.
00:12:44.957 --> 00:12:47.993
They they these he spent about $50 million
00:12:47.993 --> 00:12:51.830
In direct campaigns, money which is a pittance,
00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:54.199
But about a billion with a b
00:12:54.199 --> 00:12:56.235
An indirect campaign funding just for the prosecutors alone.
00:12:56.235 --> 00:13:00.439
And so, yes, there's protected free speech.
00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:02.441
Yes, there's a freedom of association. yes,
00:13:02.441 --> 00:13:04.676
I'm sure there's some lawful funding of lawful protests.
00:13:04.676 --> 00:13:08.247
But, you know, to the extent that that the money is a quid
00:13:08.247 --> 00:13:11.950
Pro quo, will give you this money
00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:14.820
If you engage in these violent acts.
00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:17.589
Well, then you've crossed the line
00:13:17.589 --> 00:13:19.491
Either at the federal level
00:13:19.491 --> 00:13:20.626
Under rico or the state law, state line or both.
00:13:20.626 --> 00:13:24.630
And so facts are stubborn things.
00:13:24.630 --> 00:13:27.232
As the old saying goes.
00:13:27.232 --> 00:13:28.433
And you have to develop the facts.
00:13:28.433 --> 00:13:30.569
And so you use grand juries, you use subpoenas,
00:13:30.569 --> 00:13:33.839
You use cooperators, you use wiretaps,
00:13:33.839 --> 00:13:37.009
You use all the lawful tools
00:13:37.009 --> 00:13:38.710
Of the criminal justice system to get to the facts.
00:13:38.710 --> 00:13:41.914
And that's what needs to start taking place.
00:13:41.914 --> 00:13:45.083
Well, i'd
00:13:45.384 --> 00:13:46.451
Like to ask about a few other outstanding matters.
00:13:46.451 --> 00:13:48.620
Let's begin with the case that's being put together
00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:50.455
On lisa cook,
00:13:50.455 --> 00:13:51.390
The woman at the federal reserve
00:13:51.390 --> 00:13:52.858
Who may have been involved in mortgage fraud.
00:13:52.858 --> 00:13:55.427
You think the case against her
00:13:55.427 --> 00:13:56.528
Will eventually force her to resign?
00:13:56.528 --> 00:13:58.897
Could,
00:13:58.897 --> 00:14:00.699
You know what you've never seen or heard her say is
00:14:00.699 --> 00:14:04.303
I didn't do fill out those forms and lie.
00:14:04.303 --> 00:14:09.241
You've never heard her make an absolute denial.
00:14:09.241 --> 00:14:12.311
It's all about the process.
00:14:12.911 --> 00:14:14.313
Or the processes.
00:14:14.313 --> 00:14:15.180
Do or prejudge in the case.
00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:17.849
But what i'm always interested in what's not said
00:14:17.849 --> 00:14:20.419
In these defenses, and that's. and i was a defense lawyer.
00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:22.988
I think it's great to be a defense lawyer,
00:14:22.988 --> 00:14:24.623
But you never hear her come out and say, i didn't do it.
00:14:24.623 --> 00:14:28.093
And so, yes, this, appeals court judge for the time
00:14:28.093 --> 00:14:31.563
Being has said, no, you can't remove her before the fomc,
00:14:31.563 --> 00:14:35.934
Considers a bip,
00:14:36.335 --> 00:14:37.869
A 25 bip, in up in the interest rates,
00:14:37.869 --> 00:14:40.839
Lowering the interest rates by 25 basis points this week.
00:14:40.839 --> 00:14:43.909
But sooner or later, she's going to have her moment.
00:14:43.909 --> 00:14:48.413
And what that moment means and the ramifications,
00:14:48.413 --> 00:14:51.450
Are remain to be seen.
00:14:51.917 --> 00:14:53.251
But i think if you like, like marilyn mosby,
00:14:53.251 --> 00:14:56.088
The baltimore d.a.
00:14:56.088 --> 00:14:57.122
Did on her two mortgage,
00:14:57.122 --> 00:14:59.591
Mortgages she claimed were her primary residence in florida,
00:14:59.591 --> 00:15:02.894
Even though she's the state's attorney in baltimore.
00:15:02.894 --> 00:15:05.664
She got indicted by the feds.
00:15:05.664 --> 00:15:07.399
The biden justice department prosecuted,
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.534
And she was convicted not only of perjury,
00:15:09.534 --> 00:15:11.803
But also a mortgage fraud.
00:15:11.803 --> 00:15:13.538
And so i don't know what's in store
00:15:13.538 --> 00:15:15.240
In the future for lisa cook.
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.142
But i've never heard her deny doing that.
00:15:17.142 --> 00:15:20.479
Well, i always like to try to end on a good note.
00:15:21.446 --> 00:15:23.982
The heritage office is right
00:15:23.982 --> 00:15:25.517
Across the street from union station.
00:15:25.517 --> 00:15:27.953
Washington is safe now.
00:15:27.953 --> 00:15:29.488
Have you noticed a difference around town?
00:15:29.488 --> 00:15:31.857
Yeah.
00:15:31.857 --> 00:15:32.491
I don't get high,
00:15:32.491 --> 00:15:33.992
From secondhand
00:15:33.992 --> 00:15:34.893
Marijuana smoke when i walk in there
00:15:34.893 --> 00:15:36.661
And i don't get accosted by homeless people.
00:15:36.661 --> 00:15:39.431
And frankly,
00:15:39.431 --> 00:15:40.599
It doesn't matter about me because i'm a military guy.
00:15:40.599 --> 00:15:42.367
I grew up on a farm. i can handle myself.
00:15:42.367 --> 00:15:44.503
But the young staff here, especially the female staff
00:15:44.503 --> 00:15:47.339
Who are our interns and colleagues,
00:15:47.339 --> 00:15:49.341
They feel safe there.
00:15:49.341 --> 00:15:51.610
And that says a lot.
00:15:51.610 --> 00:15:52.711
Now, look, dc still has a crime problem.
00:15:52.711 --> 00:15:55.013
Kudos to trump and jeanine pirro, the u.s.
00:15:55.013 --> 00:15:57.582
Attorney, for driving crime rates down.
00:15:57.582 --> 00:15:59.551
But we still have 107 murders.
00:15:59.551 --> 00:16:01.253
We still have over 3000, carjackings in this city.
00:16:01.253 --> 00:16:05.557
And car thefts.
00:16:05.924 --> 00:16:07.092
And so violent crime is down about 9%, year over year.
00:16:07.092 --> 00:16:12.998
I'll be happy when the crime rate is at zero,
00:16:12.998 --> 00:16:16.234
Because i think no murder is acceptable.
00:16:16.234 --> 00:16:18.870
And so there's a lot of work to do.
00:16:18.870 --> 00:16:20.372
But, look,
00:16:20.372 --> 00:16:21.506
The house is considering passing some commonsense crime
00:16:21.506 --> 00:16:24.276
Legislation like lowering the age of accountability
00:16:24.276 --> 00:16:27.779
For violent juveniles to 14 who can be prosecuted as adults.
00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:31.516
And by the way, 25 states have 14 and up,
00:16:31.516 --> 00:16:34.553
Ten states below 14, three states have 12 and up
00:16:34.553 --> 00:16:37.789
For the most violent crime. so dc is out of step.
00:16:37.789 --> 00:16:40.592
And so they're headed in the right direction.
00:16:40.592 --> 00:16:42.060
And thank god for trump and pirro
00:16:42.060 --> 00:16:43.695
For pointing out once again where the weaknesses are.
00:16:43.695 --> 00:16:47.966
Well, kelly
00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:49.201
Stimpson, thank you for your time today.
00:16:49.201 --> 00:16:51.770
Thanks for having me, alan.
00:16:51.770 --> 00:16:53.004
We have learned a lot and we hope to have you back again.
00:16:53.004 --> 00:16:55.140
We're going to read your book, rogue prosecutors.
00:16:55.140 --> 00:16:57.042
It looks intriguing to me.
00:16:57.042 --> 00:16:59.044
In a moment i'll have some hopeful rays of light of my own.
00:16:59.044 --> 00:17:02.481
I promise.
00:17:02.481 --> 00:17:10.005
I promise.
00:17:10.005 --> 00:17:14.527
The assassination of charlie kirk
00:17:15.261 --> 00:17:17.430
Took place at an outdoor event on a university campus in utah.
00:17:17.430 --> 00:17:21.567
It was a state that has voted consistently republican.
00:17:21.567 --> 00:17:25.338
You know, one would think a setting like that
00:17:25.338 --> 00:17:26.873
Would be a safe haven for free speech
00:17:26.873 --> 00:17:28.841
And the freedom to assemble peacefully.
00:17:28.841 --> 00:17:31.444
However, before the event, an online
00:17:31.444 --> 00:17:33.079
Petition was circulated asking university officials
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.915
To prevent charlie from speaking on campus that day.
00:17:35.915 --> 00:17:39.385
The petition stated in part that, quote, charlie kirk
00:17:39.385 --> 00:17:42.522
Is known for his divisive rhetoric
00:17:42.522 --> 00:17:44.190
That often supports policies and laws
00:17:44.190 --> 00:17:46.459
Which aren't inclusive and can marginalize various communities.
00:17:46.459 --> 00:17:50.596
The petition that gathered more than 900 signatures,
00:17:50.596 --> 00:17:54.834
The climate surrounding our universities has to change.
00:17:54.834 --> 00:17:58.171
Our universities are intended to be places
00:17:58.171 --> 00:18:00.940
For a free exchange of ideas, not uniformity of thought.
00:18:00.940 --> 00:18:05.044
They've become indoctrination centers.
00:18:05.044 --> 00:18:08.014
Charlie focused on the young people.
00:18:08.014 --> 00:18:10.049
That's how i got to know him.
00:18:10.049 --> 00:18:11.751
He would listen to these college students, share his beliefs
00:18:11.751 --> 00:18:14.420
And engage with them in a dialog,
00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:16.422
A conversation, and listening to their opinions.
00:18:16.422 --> 00:18:19.725
He was respectful of those who disagreed, even with those
00:18:19.725 --> 00:18:22.461
Who spewed hatred at him with some really awful names.
00:18:22.461 --> 00:18:25.998
They call him fascist nazi, a purveyor of hate, a bigot,
00:18:25.998 --> 00:18:29.569
A whole host of other things.
00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:31.470
Well, those demanding that their viewpoints be tolerated.
00:18:31.470 --> 00:18:34.607
We're very aggressively
00:18:34.607 --> 00:18:36.008
Intolerant of perspectives which differed from their own.
00:18:36.008 --> 00:18:39.078
We have a culture in crisis.
00:18:39.679 --> 00:18:41.847
A 22 year old who disagreed with charlie's biblical stance
00:18:41.847 --> 00:18:45.618
Murdered him.
00:18:45.618 --> 00:18:46.819
Rather than engage in debate, he chose murder
00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:49.789
After the shooting.
00:18:49.789 --> 00:18:50.890
Some rejoiced at charlie's death.
00:18:50.890 --> 00:18:53.492
So what can we do?
00:18:53.492 --> 00:18:54.860
Well, i think one of the most important things we can do
00:18:54.860 --> 00:18:57.029
Now is to present ourselves in public as a christ follower,
00:18:57.029 --> 00:19:00.900
That we rearrange our calendars and our schedules
00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:03.135
And our habits and our patterns.
00:19:03.135 --> 00:19:04.870
To be sure we identify clearly and publicly with christ.
00:19:04.870 --> 00:19:09.308
We'll do that.
00:19:09.642 --> 00:19:10.676
There's reason for hope.
00:19:10.676 --> 00:19:12.144
I'll be back with your emails.
00:19:12.144 --> 00:19:21.003
I'll be back with your emails.
00:19:21.003 --> 00:19:25.425
Thank you for taking the time to send us your emails.
00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:28.695
They're always a highlight of the program.
00:19:28.695 --> 00:19:31.064
Lupe from california commented,
00:19:31.064 --> 00:19:33.033
I'm glad the issue is on health now.
00:19:33.033 --> 00:19:35.602
I appreciate that this issue is being highlighted.
00:19:35.602 --> 00:19:37.671
To make the public more aware,
00:19:37.671 --> 00:19:39.506
You do have to ask the question of why
00:19:39.506 --> 00:19:41.074
Europe doesn't want any of our food.
00:19:41.074 --> 00:19:43.043
There are so many things added to our foods
00:19:43.043 --> 00:19:44.945
That it has become toxic to.
00:19:44.945 --> 00:19:46.613
Americans are the most unhealthy people on earth.
00:19:46.613 --> 00:19:48.882
I hope and pray things will change for the better.
00:19:48.882 --> 00:19:52.019
Well, i agree,
00:19:52.352 --> 00:19:53.186
I think there's been a lot
00:19:53.186 --> 00:19:54.254
Of disinformation, dishonesty, and just lying with
00:19:54.254 --> 00:19:56.923
With regard to our food, even the food we are supposed to eat.
00:19:56.923 --> 00:20:00.460
The recommendations have been coming to us,
00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:02.829
But there's some waking up taking place and good news
00:20:02.829 --> 00:20:05.299
Entering the public square. keep praying.
00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:07.034
I think there's better things ahead,
00:20:07.034 --> 00:20:08.769
Dixie from texas wrote in pastor allen.
00:20:09.603 --> 00:20:11.738
I've been shocked at news reports
00:20:11.738 --> 00:20:13.240
From people, teachers and politicians
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.375
Celebrating the death of charlie kirk as more evil is exposed,
00:20:15.375 --> 00:20:19.179
I'm beginning to see
00:20:19.179 --> 00:20:20.280
Why our kids and young people are so full of hatred.
00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:23.150
Well, i agree there's some unsettling things being exposed
00:20:23.150 --> 00:20:25.952
About our universities and campuses.
00:20:25.952 --> 00:20:27.788
It's time for some changes in higher education,
00:20:27.788 --> 00:20:30.457
But when the light comes on,
00:20:30.457 --> 00:20:31.725
I believe there's an opportunity for a better future
00:20:31.725 --> 00:20:34.928
If we keep choosing the lord.
00:20:34.928 --> 00:20:36.630
I promise you there's reasons for hope ahead of us.
00:20:36.630 --> 00:20:39.299
Thanks for spending a few minutes with us.
00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:41.301
I'm alan jackson and you have a wonderful evening.
00:20:41.301 --> 00:20:41.301
