Speaker 1 (00:01):
Several different issues that we've got to make sure that
we chat about. One of them involves Daniel Penny. Now
you may not remember that name, but you'll remember the story.
And this is the man that helped save people's lives
from an attacker on a New York City subway and
he was charged with killing that person. There was video
of him clearly defending the people that were on that train,
(00:25):
and it is shocking to see what New York has
done to his life. The good news is now he
is declared innocent of the crime.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
He was found not guilty.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'm going to get into that and why New York
City tried to turn this veteran into a murderer and
what was all behind him. Also, in other big breaking news,
the CEO of the healthcare company Brian Thompson, his murderer,
apparently they say, is a person quote of interest, has
(00:59):
been arrested. The person of interest and the Brian Thompson
death arrested now on gun charges. The NYPD Police Commissioner
set at a press conference that the man is twenty
six years old. I'm not going to say his name.
He was arrested on firearm charges. What we now know
(01:19):
about this individual is exactly what many were expecting. The
suspected murderer is an IVY League graduate and what was
he indoctrinated with at the Ivy Leagues. He was indoctrinated
to prescribe to anti capitalism and climate change radicalization or
(01:40):
causes this according to law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The other part about this.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Murder of the CEO of this healthcare company is the
murder has actually been widely celebrated by leftists online as
if this guy is now a hero. I want you
to hear from New York City's mayor at this press
conference of what he said about it, and then I'll
get you more of the details of exactly what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Take a listen to this.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And I'm joined here today by our Chief of Detectives
and the police Commissioner and Chief of Department because we
have a strong person of interest in the shooting that
shook our city last week. The CEO, Brian Thompson of
(02:33):
United Healthcare, was the victim of a senseless act of violence.
Our officers have been working around the clock, many of
them did not go home to pursue this individual. It
was crucial and we were able to remove him off
(02:55):
the streets of America, and we were going to seek
him out no matter where he was at the time.
And so this is a strong person of interest. The
Police Commissioner and Chief of Detectives will go over where
we are right now in the investigation. He matches the
(03:16):
description of the identification we've been looking for. He's also
in possession of several items that we believe will connect
him to this incident. How did we do it? A
good old fashioned police work. The Chief of Detectives and
(03:38):
the Police Commissioner made the decision to release as much
of a photo that we had at the time, We
sent it across the country and someone a McDonald's employee,
did something we asked.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Every American to do.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
If you see something, say something, but most importantly, do something,
and they did.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And because of that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
We believe we have a strong person of interest to
deal with this case.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Obviously very big news they are coming from the Mayor
of New York. Now let me get into some of
the details about this individual. But before I do that,
it is the holidays and you may be looking at
gifts and you may be trying to decide what you're
going to get somebody. How about getting somebody you love
the gift of protection. Well, that is exactly what I
have done for so many of my family members because
(04:29):
of violent crime that's on the rise in this country.
It is everywhere, unfortunately, and you need to make sure
that you're able to protect and defend yourself. And that
is why I want you to know about the Berna
less lethal launcher. It is designed for easy use by
all age groups eighteen year older. So you have a
kid that is eighteen year older, maybe they're living off
(04:49):
campus or an apartment by themselves. Maybe you have a
daughter that's off to school or a granddaughter. This is
a great, great way for them to have the way
to protect themselves and you to have peace of mind.
It's also a great compliment to owning firearms. I own
one myself, and I've gotten them for many of my
family members. A burn A Leslie the launcher is legal
(05:09):
in all fifty states.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
No permits or background checks are needed. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I own these myself, and that is the reason why
I am telling you about them. Because the burn A
launcher has powerful deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds
with a sixty foot range. I love that because it
puts more distance between you and the threat, a lot
more distance than you're gonna get from using.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Pepper spray or a taser.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The burn a launcher with these powerful deterrens, can save
not only your life, but the life of someone else
that may be a threat to you. One shot can
incapacitate an attacker for up to forty minutes, and the burner,
like I said, can save two lives.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
The Burner is.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Trusted by over five hundred government agencies, police departments, and
private security firms. They have more than fourteen thousand, four
and a half star reviews. Now, I want you to
go and see the video, and once you see how
the burner works, you're gonna do what I did. You're
gonna buy one, and you're probably gonna buy it for
your other family members. You can visit burnup by RNA
(06:10):
dot com slash ferguson. That's burnap by r NA dot
com slash ferguson for ten percent off your purchase. That's
by RNA dot com slash ferguson. Now, let's talk about
this individual.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What we know.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
The suspect nabbed in the killing of the United Healthcare
CEO Brian Thompson, is a again anti capitalist Ivy League
grad who liked online quotes from the unibomber ted Kazinski
and had had a radical manifesto.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
These parasites had it coming.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That's what law enforcement sources told The New York Post
about his manifesto, that he was caught with this quote tech.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Whiz and I'm not gonna say his name.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Originally from Maryland, apparently hated the medical community because how it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Treated his sick relative.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Sources are now saying he has not been charged in
the slang yet of the CEO, but was taken into
custy Monday morning while eating at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania,
inning the intense man hunt sparked by the cold blooded
execution of Thompson outside the Manhattan Hotel last week, which
many people saw on video. This is a crazy person
(07:27):
that is incredibly smart, that was indoctrinated on these issues.
Why am I saying that because of what was being
what he was writing in his manifesto. The former prep
school Valley victorian. Let me say that again. He is
a former Prep school Valley Victorian who then went to
the Ivy Leagues was caught with a ghost gun that
uses nine millimeter bullets, a silencer, a US passport, not one,
(07:53):
not two, not three, but four fake id's with names
used during the killers stint in New York City, and
the manifesto. Now you may ask yourself what is a
ghost gun. It means that the gun partially, or maybe
more than more than just some of the gun was printed,
possibly with a three D printer. It is a gun
that was not manufactured with a serial number by a
(08:16):
gun manufacturer. A ghost gun is a gun that no
one knew existed but the person who made it, and
that apparently is what he used in this assassination. The manifesto,
were also being told, consisted of two and a half
handwritten pages that mirrored the quotes that Mangioni posted on
(08:38):
his good Reads account from wacky anti establishment Ted Kaczinski.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That would be the unibomber who.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Terrorized the country for nearly two decades by mailing deadly
bombs before he was nabbed in nineteen ninety six. Sources
are saying, quote, imagine a society that subjects people to
conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the
drugs to take away their unhappiness is what Kazinski wrote
at one point, in a quote that was liked by
(09:08):
this shooter science fiction. It is already happening to some
extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions
that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs.
In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's
internal state in such a way as to enable him
(09:30):
to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.
Was also apparently one of the quotes in the manifesto.
The manifesto said the suspect acted alone, as well as
what sources are now saying the individual had a particularly
personal reason to hate the medical community. I'm going to
explain that part of the story to you coming up next.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's unclear if.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
The suspected shooter has yet made any statements officially to
the police. The individual also subscribed, and this is where
this becomes a bigger issue in our schools, especially at
our Ivy League, because he subscribed to anti capitalists and
anti climate change causes.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
How do you get indoctrinated in that way?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Send your kids to the Ivy League schools and they'll
turn them back out. To you, and they will be
anti capitalists and anti climate change individuals. They are radicalized
by the left to have overtaken these universities. Many of
these universities, by the way, have been overtaken by China
and other countries that give massive donations to these Ivy
League schools to have influence over how they indoctrinate and
(10:37):
teach your kids and grandkids.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That's something you need to understand.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You look at all the money that came in, for example,
to the Biden Center, it was all from the Chinese
communists that we're sending it. In the amount of money
that comes into Harvard and Yellen Princeton from the Chinese communists.
You think they're doing it because they love America. No,
they're doing it so that those schools will indoctrinate kids
to hate America.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's why they do it. And so you look at
this individual.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
He subscribe to these anti capitalists and climate change causes.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
According to law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Citing his online activity by authorities, the individual was Valley Victorian.
We also now know for a fact of his twenty
sixteen high school graduating class at the Gilman School in Baltimore,
he was a stand out soccer player. According to online sites,
his high school tuition at the all boys school was
(11:28):
nearly forty thousand a year. So he came from money, right, Like,
it's pretty clear he came from money. But when you
send your kids to these elitist schools that are being
controlled by anti capitalists and those are obsessed with global warming,
this is what they do to your kids, and then
at the Ivy Leagues they reinforce it. He'sat at the
(11:52):
time of graduation, and he planned a secret degree in
artificial intelligence focus on the areas of computer science and
cognitive science at the Universe Pennsylvania that according to an
interview with the Baltimore Fish Bowl, the Tech hotshot graduated
Cumlatti from the private Ivy League institution in Philadelphia with
(12:12):
a Bachelor of Science and Engineering Computer and Information Science
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
According to his LinkedIn profile.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
He also completed a Master of Science and Engineering Computer
and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
His profile states.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
His LinkedIn page suggests he's a data engineer at a
car company based in California, although he lists his current
home as Honolulu in Hawaii. What we now know is
he stalked the CEO, apparently finding online schedules of where
the man would be, and now they have him in custody.
What's even more shocking about this individual is well, a
(12:52):
Wall Street Journal article on Facebook that he reposted in
twenty nineteen was titled Obstacles to deficit a nation of
on a nation on entitlements. His Facebook account, which also
did not have any recent posting, says he is the
co founder of app Roar Studios, which describes itself as
(13:13):
an app development startup founded to provide the simplest and
most engaging gaming experience. We're also being told that while
at Penn, the individual appears in an article in a
student publication that prais him for starting up a student
run video game development club. The club is now known
as the University of Penn Game Research and Development Environment.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Obviously this individual had some screws loose, but he was
indoctrinated to hate capitalists, He was indoctrinated to hate CEOs.
He was indoctionateed to hate people in healthcare. This is
what radicals will do to your kids. If you hand
over their minds to them, you may think, oh, I'm
sending them to a forty thousand dollars year high school.
That'll that'll make everything be just fun. Apparently not. Then
(14:02):
you say, oh, well, you get into Ivy League the
University of Penn that'll make everything fine.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Apparently not.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
This is just one of the problems, one of the
many problems that is with our public schools and our
private schools, and they become indoctrination factories to tell people
that somehow America is evil, capitalism is evil, and people
that are involved in it are evil, and the people
(14:31):
that are involved in it should somehow be taken out
or executed. This type of radicalism doesn't just happen overnight, Okay,
This type of radicalism isn't something that just randomly appears.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It is an indoctrination.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Was this person obviously brilliant on paper, no doubt about it,
no doubt about it. But this is an individual that
was radicalized by the extreme left running our campuses. And
when you hear all this come out, watch how fast
they try to just make it all disappear. Watch how
fast they try to make it all go away. Watch
(15:11):
how fast they just say, move on to the next thing.
Nothing to see here. It is going to happen extremely fast.
They are going to move on from the story when
it comes out that he's a radical leftist, and they're
going to then move on to well, is healthcare too expensive?
Are there too many people that are denied health care?
(15:32):
Are these CEOs? Should their lives be at risk? Because
I say this not because he's radical, but because of
what has been celebrated by the left online. The left
online has been celebrating the death of the CEO, and
the reason why they've been celebrating is actually now very clear,
because they believe that these CEOs are evil and this
(15:56):
is somehow a success, this is somehow a good thing,
This is somehow something that we should all be excited about.
That is what the left is advocating for and supporting
right now, and that is pure evil. I want to
take a moment and talk to you about IFCJ. The
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, wants to wish you
(16:16):
a blessed beginning of the holiday season as you gather
with your families, grateful for the blessings that God has
given us all, but let's also remember those who are
facing unbelievable hardship in need of food. Fellowship and hope.
That includes the people of Israel, who are threatened daily
by attacks from enemies on all sides. And during these
(16:40):
hard times, Israelis are thankful for the Fellowship for food
and basic assistance, truly life saving aid, when the rest
of the world seems to have turned its back on them.
Your gift of twenty five dollars will help provide a
food box to an elderly Jew or a Jewish family
who are suffering and in desperate need. A gift of
(17:01):
one hundred dollars will help provide four of these life
saving food boxes this holiday season. Please consider standing with
Israel and the Jewish people. You can go to SUPPORTIFCJ
dot org. That's support IFCJ dot org. To make a
gift now that SUPPORTIFCJ dot org, or you can call
(17:22):
to give at eight to eight for eight eight IFCJ.
That's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five.
Now I want to get to this other big story,
and that is the story about Daniel Penny. Daniel Penny
should have never been put through this trial in the
(17:43):
first place in New York. He is a hero, and
they just acquitted the man on a less on the
lesser crime. Double Jeffrey cases are often argued back and
forth by prosecutors, but even in New York, Jonathan Turtley said,
this is a shock, and this is a case that
should have never ever have been brought.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Take a listen to this on Fox.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
But it's an extraordinary moment. It took too long. It
should never have happened. This case, in my view, should
never have been brought. And I don't think that even
Alvin Bragg would try to get around double jeopardy in
this case. I think it would be absurd. They just
acquitted him on the lesser crime. Double jeopardy cases are
(18:27):
often argued back and forth by prosecutors, but even in
New York, I think that would be a ludicrous step
to take. And so he is very likely out of this.
He is facing a civil case. It's an interesting situation
because he was just acquitted under a quasi criminal negligent standard.
(18:49):
He's now going to be forced into a civil case
with a lower standard of proof. But still he was
able to beat the lower standard on the criminal side.
So we'll have to watch this goes forward. But he
should never have been put through this in the first place.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So why was he put through it.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He was put through it because he was an actual
law abody saysen that stopped someone from hurting people on
the subway.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And they didn't like the fact that he was former veteran.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
They didn't like the fact that he actually took matters
into his own hands. They didn't like the fact that
he was probably somebody that was a conservative, and they
looked at him as a vigilanting like, well, well, well,
we don't want that. We want the criminals to be
running this city. We don't want people stopping the criminals
that are running this city. That's something we don't want.
(19:38):
That's something we don't know want to happen. We don't
want there to be heroes in New York City for
stopping the villains. Judge Janine on Fox had this to say,
take a listen.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
To Daniel Penny now, and you've been on this case
from the very beginning, you will have a chance to
sit down with him. I'm also told we have brand
new video after the not guilty verdict of him leaving
a bar.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Is that correct? Okay?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Here we go went out for a drink to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I guess I know the bar.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Wow, look at that looks like wall shy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Me tell yourself.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
And this guy, Danny Penny, for the last year and
a half has been totally, totally rigid. He hasn't done
anything other than respect the system, respect the citizen, the
New York City and the everything about this case.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
God blessom he paid their.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Time for him to let loose a little bitou This is.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
A zen guy.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Remember he played in the symphony. He's twenty six years old.
He's a kid.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Yeah, and you think about what he has been through.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, he's been through hell for no reason. If that prosecutor,
Alvin Bragg, weren't the progressive Sorows funded prosecutor, this would
never have happened.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Wow, judge, we appreciate you. By the way.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Let's just be honest about what this case is all about.
This is about a white guy choking out a black
ghana subway. That's why Alvin Bragg saw the opportunity. Alvin
Bragg said, I got a white guy who served his country,
who is we're going to assume is conservative in nature
because he served his country and he choked out a
(21:10):
black guy, and that's something that we're saying no to.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It also fit all their narratives.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And when I say fit all their narratives, it was
a choke hold, right, Well, you can't choke hold right
because it fit into the Black Lives matter and choke
holds by police have been used.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And oh, this is a guy that's white in the military.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
This is a white guy that is out there just
choking out black men left and right, and so we're
going to nail him right on this case. The New
York City jury on Monday found this marine veteran not
guilty of criminally negligent homicide and the choke hold death
of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car.
(21:51):
In twenty thirteen, CBS News reported that Penny, twenty six,
pleaded not guilty of charge of second degree manslaughter and
criminally negligent homicide. He trusts the system. That is incredibly risky.
Think the lord that he trusted the system. The judge
dismissed the second degree manslaughter charge against Penny on Friday
after jurors said they could not come to a unanimous decision.
(22:15):
Penny's lawyers said he was protecting himself another subway passengers
from a volatile, mentally ill man who was making alarming
remarks and gestures. The defense also disputed a city's medical
examiners finding that the choco killed Neely. Prosecutor said Penny
reacted far too forcefully to someone he perceived as a peril,
(22:36):
not a person. The jury panel could not consider the
negligent homicide charge of Penny was cleared of manslaughter, which
is what the dismissal did. Where did the verdict comes?
After jurors deliberated for more than twenty hours. Penny faced
a maximum possible sentence of fifteen years in prison on
the manslaughter charge or four years on the negligent homicide charge.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
There is no minimum.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Sentence, meaning this judge could have just said we're going
to throw you in there for twenty twenty five years.
The acquittal, by the way, came after jurors heard from
more than forty witnesses, including passengers who described Mealy's terrifying
outbursts on the train before Penny approached him from behind
and took him down.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
At the Broadway Lofayette station.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Penny himself did not take the stand during the trial,
which his defense lawyers saying their client statements to police
adequately described the encounter, but several of his relatives, friends
and fellow Marines did, describing him as an upstanding, patriotic,
an empathetic man. So that's what gets you in trouble
with these activist radical DA's. They saw a man that
(23:44):
was upstanding, patriotic, and empathetic, who was white, who choked
out a black man, and that's all this.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Activist da needed. Alvin Bragg, the.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Same guy that tried to lock up Donald Trump and
bankrupt him.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Don't forget that.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
While the criminal trial played out and Neeli's father filed
a wrongful death suit against Penny as jury deliberations began
on Tuesday, December the second. So this isn't over unfortunately,
because you still have the civil part where they're going
to try to get paid. They're going to try to
bankrupt this young man who clearly did the right thing.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
He's not a villain, he's a hero.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
But what I know is pretty darn clear here they
want this man to be a man that they sent
to jail to send a message to anybody out there,
you better not do the right thing when a criminal
is involved.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
And by the way, if.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You're white, you better not do anything to an African
American man, even if that African American man is threatening
you and everybody around you, because if you do in
New York City, we will throw the book at you.
I will also say one other thing that I think
is really important, and that's this, If I'm this guy,
(24:59):
I get the hell out of New York City. I
would never want to be in a place where if
you do the right thing, this is what they do
to you, because now they're going to be people that
see you and they might try to antagonize you. Because
the leftist media turned this guy into the villain, not
the hero. They should have turned him into the hero
from the very beginning because it was very clear that
(25:20):
he was a hero. But if I'm him, I'd get
the hell out of there as fast as I possibly could.
I wouldn't wait a round on this. I would run
to a state like Florida or Texas or any of
the flyover states where you would be considered a hero.
(25:41):
Because when I saw the video, I was like, Dude,
this guy's a legend. This guy's a hero. Look at
what he just did to protect people around him that
he didn't even know. This guy is a hero. God
bless this man for standing up for the people that
were vulnerable on that subway, and you can go out
there and you can see the video that were posted
and you can look at them. And this is why
(26:02):
he had over forty witnesses that came to his aid.
And it's very very clear that the jury listened to
those forty witnesses and they heard something which was, Hey,
this guy did what we were hoping somebody would do.
This guy did what we were hoping somebody would have
the kones to do.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
This.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
This guy did what we everybody what we needed him
to do, and we're thankful for him. You're in a
city like New York on the subway and I look,
my dad and I were there for seventieth and there
was a clearly a mentally disturbed homeless man that was
an incredibly great shape. The guy was jacked, he was
(26:43):
clearly on drugs. And he got on to the subway
and there was two grown men sitting there and he
screamed bloody murder like a demon possessed man for them
to get out of their seats. And the two men
got up and they moved over to the other side
of the car, and he looked at me and started
(27:06):
shaking like a psychopath, like I mean what you could
see it in his eyes and his face and started
like an animal seething. And I had two options that moment.
I could either stare right back at him and make
it clear I'm not afraid of you, even though I
absolutely was afraid of him, or I could look straight
down at my shoes and I stared right back at him, like, hey,
(27:27):
you think you're crazy, watch me. He was staring at
us for three stops, and then he got off at
times square, knocked into an old woman, and kept going.
This guy wasn't afraid of anyone. And I think that's
basically what he saw that day, was someone like that. Now,
if that guy attacked somebody on there or started getting
in someone's face and I jumped him from behind, am
(27:48):
I a hero or am I a criminal? I hope
in America today, at least we still And this is
part of.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
The reason I think people don't act anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
This is why I think the bad people have gotten
so and bolden in this country all over the country,
is because it used to be that we people would
stand up, and now people are afraid, because they're afraid
their life's going to be ruined by doing the right thing.
I don't like that because I think it puts even
more people's lives at risk. I really don't. I don't
like it. In fact, I hate it. And the reason
(28:20):
why I say that I hate it is because there
used to be a level of confidence that, hey, you
got a bunch of men on a train or on
a bus or on a U in a place where
someone might do something and like, hey, you're there's too
many of us here. You don't do that, We're gonna
we're gonna come after you, like we're going to defend
ourselves and protect other people.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And now people are so afraid to do that. They're
terrified to do it, folks.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
And the reason why they're terrified to do it is
for the reason I just point out. They're afraid they're
going to get in trouble. And the message at New
York City said on this subway car is if there's
someone doing something wrong, don't get involved, because if you do,
we may put you in jail.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And that's sad.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I want to get into this other subject, and I
mentioned this on this show, and if you missed it,
go back and down with the podcast about it's time
for us to stand up for Trump nominees. And it
looks like enough of you have put pressure on your
senators that that is now starting to happen, because we're
exposing these senators who are sitting there acting like they
can't vote for Trump's nominees, but they had no problem
(29:29):
voting for radical nominees.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Under Biden and under Obama.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'll give you an example, and this is a segment
that I'm about to do that I want you to
share so you can again share the podcast of this
and make sure people hear this. Several Senate Republicans who
previously confirm President Joe Biden's cabinet nominees are now appearing
hesitant about some of a president like Donald Trump's appointees.
(30:00):
Republicans are side stepping questions surrounding Trump's more contentious nominees,
calling into question which of his picks will survive the
confirmation process. This coming from The Daily Caller. The nominees
attracting the most pushback from within the GOP's tent include
Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Headseth, the Director of National
(30:21):
Intelligence nominee Toulsi Gabbard, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services HHS nominee Robert F. Kenney Junior, and the FBI
director nominee Cash Ptel. While many of these Republicans supported
Biden's cabinet confirmations, I'm going to say that again. Several
(30:42):
of these Senate Republicans previously confirmed some of the most
radical Joe Biden cabinet nominees, are now like, well, we're
hesitant about.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Some of President elect Donald Trump's appointees.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Really, some Republicans are side stepping questions surrounding Trump's more
contentious nominees, calling in the question which of his picks
will survive? Oh okay, so now that's what we're doing. Well,
many of these Republicans supported Biden's cabinet confirmations, they now
(31:16):
are saying, well, we need to really look at these people,
all right, So let's talk about the senators who previously
voted to confirm Biden's nominees, such as the Attorney general
who has broken countless laws in my opinion, Merrick Garland.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Also let's look at the Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You know, the guy that went a wall while serving
a Secretary of Defense and still didn't get fired. Lloyd Austin,
who has spent more time radicalizing the DoD than anything else,
saying we should pay for transgendered surgeries and kick out amazing,
unbelievable soldiers because they wouldn't get the COVID vaccine. And
(31:55):
even after they dropped that mandate, they're still not reinstating
those people to their jobs. How about the Secretary of
Homeland Security has been held and condemned to Congress, Alexandro
Majorcis have been impeached. Are now all of these people
were voted as yes is by these radical Republicans and
(32:16):
now they're like, well, we're non committal about Trump's choices.
Trump's nominees aimed to reverse Biden's administration policies and reinstated
is America First agenda.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's why they hate him.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Members of Biden's cabinet, meanwhile, have drawn harsh criticism during
their tenures.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Particularly my Orcis are.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Republicans criticized for failing to stem the influx of illegal
immigrants across the southern border, lying to the American people
saying that the border is secure, the border is secure,
the border is secure.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
It was never secured.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
They opened it up on purpose, and guests who confirmed
my orcis the same Republicans who are now saying we
have questions and worries about Donald Trump's nominees.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
The other thing that is also shocking is the fact
that Austin, who was the guy who was in charge
of the horrific mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal which actually
left thirteen Americans.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Dead in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Austin was also grilled in February over what he called
a breakdown of notifications quote unquote, after he failed to
notify Biden others that he was in the intensive care
unit for surgery related to prostate cancer.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
But these Republicans voted to confirm that guy as well.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Republicans have also ripped Garland, who they say was clearly
over the weaponization of the Department of Justice. In retaliation
to Donald Trump and the people around Trump what happened.
The same Republicans that are saying now they've got problems
with Donald Trump's picks said yes to that guy Garland
(33:58):
being in charge of the radicalization and weaponization of the
deep state. House Republicans even introduced a resolution that would
have find the Attorney General ten thousand per day were
he to continue with holding audio tapes from the interview
with Biden's special counsel Robert Hurr, so covering up for
(34:19):
the corruption of the presence part of what he's been doing.
He's still on the fence. Republican senators who voted to
confirm Garland include and listen carefully, Loisy in A Center,
Builcassidy Maine Centator Susan Collins Kentucky Center, Mitch McConnell Alaska Center,
Lisa Murkowski, South Dakota Center Mike Crowns, and South Dakota
(34:39):
Senator John Thune, who was elected in November to replace
McConnell as a Senate majority leader. Republican Iowa Senator Jenny
Earnst is also meeting with Headsets for the second time
today and has not said whether she will be voting
in favor of his confirmation, but had no problem confirming
the other peace people that I just listed. Many Republican
(35:03):
senators also vote to confirm Austin to run the Department
of Defense, but some are cagy about expressing their voting
plans for Headseth, DoD's top pick from Trump. Headseth is
facing allegations, of course, of all sorts of things, because
that's what happens when you try to serve your country
as a Republican, including sexual assault, which he has adamantly
(35:25):
denied and for which he was not charged with any crimes.
In the weeks following the announcement of his nomination, left
leanning media outlets have run numerous stories a legend that
he has a drinking problem and is sexually promiscuous. Colleagues
from Fox News have defended their colleague and response to
these allegations, which they said, Hey, he never was drunk
(35:47):
on the job like they were claiming from these anonymous sources.
The Republican senators who voted to confirm Austin but have
not revealed their vote for Headseth include Center Rounds, Senator Cassidy,
Senator Ernst, Senator Collins, Senator Thune, Senator McConnell, and Senator Murkowski.
(36:09):
Are you kidding me? This is unbelievable. I It's truly unbelievable.
You want to know something else? As GOP centers weigh
the nomination of head sth Just to put in perspective, historically,
only two senators, Senator Holly and Senator Mike Lee, voted
(36:31):
against Biden's Secretary of Defense pick Lloyd Austin back in
twenty twenty one. But all these Republican Senators would be
voting whether or not to confirm. Headseth voted to confirm
Lloyd Austin. These Republicans, you need to flood their office
with phone calls. I say it because at any moment
(36:52):
they could decide to go back the other way. Collins
and murkalsk Murkowski both voted to confirm my Kisses, the
Department of Homeland Security secretary. The two have dodged questions
about their plans on voting for Trump's cabinet picks, despite
previously supporting Joe Biden's. It's like whose team are you on?
By the way, Donald Trump has stood by his nominations.
(37:16):
The word is that headset will be with him at
the Big Army Navy Game this coming weekend to show
even more support. No Senate Democrats vote against any of
Biden's cabinet appointees, but they're wanting to vote against their
own president's nominees.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Let that sync in. Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Share this podcast with your family and friends on social media.
Please write us a five star review and I will
see you back here.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Tomorrow,
Several different issues that we've got to make sure that
we chat about. One of them involves Daniel Penny. Now
you may not remember that name, but you'll remember the story.
And this is the man that helped save people's lives
from an attacker on a New York City subway and
he was charged with killing that person. There was video
of him clearly defending the people that were on that train,
(00:25):
and it is shocking to see what New York has
done to his life. The good news is now he
is declared innocent of the crime.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
He was found not guilty.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'm going to get into that and why New York
City tried to turn this veteran into a murderer and
what was all behind him. Also, in other big breaking news,
the CEO of the healthcare company Brian Thompson, his murderer,
apparently they say, is a person quote of interest, has
(00:59):
been arrested. The person of interest and the Brian Thompson
death arrested now on gun charges. The NYPD Police Commissioner
set at a press conference that the man is twenty
six years old. I'm not going to say his name.
He was arrested on firearm charges. What we now know
(01:19):
about this individual is exactly what many were expecting. The
suspected murderer is an IVY League graduate and what was
he indoctrinated with at the Ivy Leagues. He was indoctrinated
to prescribe to anti capitalism and climate change radicalization or
(01:40):
causes this according to law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The other part about this.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Murder of the CEO of this healthcare company is the
murder has actually been widely celebrated by leftists online as
if this guy is now a hero. I want you
to hear from New York City's mayor at this press
conference of what he said about it, and then I'll
get you more of the details of exactly what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Take a listen to this.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And I'm joined here today by our Chief of Detectives
and the police Commissioner and Chief of Department because we
have a strong person of interest in the shooting that
shook our city last week. The CEO, Brian Thompson of
(02:33):
United Healthcare, was the victim of a senseless act of violence.
Our officers have been working around the clock, many of
them did not go home to pursue this individual. It
was crucial and we were able to remove him off
(02:55):
the streets of America, and we were going to seek
him out no matter where he was at the time.
And so this is a strong person of interest. The
Police Commissioner and Chief of Detectives will go over where
we are right now in the investigation. He matches the
(03:16):
description of the identification we've been looking for. He's also
in possession of several items that we believe will connect
him to this incident. How did we do it? A
good old fashioned police work. The Chief of Detectives and
(03:38):
the Police Commissioner made the decision to release as much
of a photo that we had at the time, We
sent it across the country and someone a McDonald's employee,
did something we asked.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Every American to do.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
If you see something, say something, but most importantly, do something,
and they did.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And because of that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
We believe we have a strong person of interest to
deal with this case.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Obviously very big news they are coming from the Mayor
of New York. Now let me get into some of
the details about this individual. But before I do that,
it is the holidays and you may be looking at
gifts and you may be trying to decide what you're
going to get somebody. How about getting somebody you love
the gift of protection. Well, that is exactly what I
have done for so many of my family members because
(04:29):
of violent crime that's on the rise in this country.
It is everywhere, unfortunately, and you need to make sure
that you're able to protect and defend yourself. And that
is why I want you to know about the Berna
less lethal launcher. It is designed for easy use by
all age groups eighteen year older. So you have a
kid that is eighteen year older, maybe they're living off
(04:49):
campus or an apartment by themselves. Maybe you have a
daughter that's off to school or a granddaughter. This is
a great, great way for them to have the way
to protect themselves and you to have peace of mind.
It's also a great compliment to owning firearms. I own
one myself, and I've gotten them for many of my
family members. A burn A Leslie the launcher is legal
(05:09):
in all fifty states.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
No permits or background checks are needed. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I own these myself, and that is the reason why
I am telling you about them. Because the burn A
launcher has powerful deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds
with a sixty foot range. I love that because it
puts more distance between you and the threat, a lot
more distance than you're gonna get from using.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Pepper spray or a taser.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The burn a launcher with these powerful deterrens, can save
not only your life, but the life of someone else
that may be a threat to you. One shot can
incapacitate an attacker for up to forty minutes, and the burner,
like I said, can save two lives.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
The Burner is.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Trusted by over five hundred government agencies, police departments, and
private security firms. They have more than fourteen thousand, four
and a half star reviews. Now, I want you to
go and see the video, and once you see how
the burner works, you're gonna do what I did. You're
gonna buy one, and you're probably gonna buy it for
your other family members. You can visit burnup by RNA
(06:10):
dot com slash ferguson. That's burnap by r NA dot
com slash ferguson for ten percent off your purchase. That's
by RNA dot com slash ferguson. Now, let's talk about
this individual.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What we know.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
The suspect nabbed in the killing of the United Healthcare
CEO Brian Thompson, is a again anti capitalist Ivy League
grad who liked online quotes from the unibomber ted Kazinski
and had had a radical manifesto.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
These parasites had it coming.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That's what law enforcement sources told The New York Post
about his manifesto, that he was caught with this quote tech.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Whiz and I'm not gonna say his name.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Originally from Maryland, apparently hated the medical community because how it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Treated his sick relative.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Sources are now saying he has not been charged in
the slang yet of the CEO, but was taken into
custy Monday morning while eating at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania,
inning the intense man hunt sparked by the cold blooded
execution of Thompson outside the Manhattan Hotel last week, which
many people saw on video. This is a crazy person
(07:27):
that is incredibly smart, that was indoctrinated on these issues.
Why am I saying that because of what was being
what he was writing in his manifesto. The former prep
school Valley victorian. Let me say that again. He is
a former Prep school Valley Victorian who then went to
the Ivy Leagues was caught with a ghost gun that
uses nine millimeter bullets, a silencer, a US passport, not one,
(07:53):
not two, not three, but four fake id's with names
used during the killers stint in New York City, and
the manifesto. Now you may ask yourself what is a
ghost gun. It means that the gun partially, or maybe
more than more than just some of the gun was printed,
possibly with a three D printer. It is a gun
that was not manufactured with a serial number by a
(08:16):
gun manufacturer. A ghost gun is a gun that no
one knew existed but the person who made it, and
that apparently is what he used in this assassination. The manifesto,
were also being told, consisted of two and a half
handwritten pages that mirrored the quotes that Mangioni posted on
(08:38):
his good Reads account from wacky anti establishment Ted Kaczinski.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That would be the unibomber who.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Terrorized the country for nearly two decades by mailing deadly
bombs before he was nabbed in nineteen ninety six. Sources
are saying, quote, imagine a society that subjects people to
conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the
drugs to take away their unhappiness is what Kazinski wrote
at one point, in a quote that was liked by
(09:08):
this shooter science fiction. It is already happening to some
extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions
that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs.
In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's
internal state in such a way as to enable him
(09:30):
to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.
Was also apparently one of the quotes in the manifesto.
The manifesto said the suspect acted alone, as well as
what sources are now saying the individual had a particularly
personal reason to hate the medical community. I'm going to
explain that part of the story to you coming up next.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's unclear if.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
The suspected shooter has yet made any statements officially to
the police. The individual also subscribed, and this is where
this becomes a bigger issue in our schools, especially at
our Ivy League, because he subscribed to anti capitalists and
anti climate change causes.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
How do you get indoctrinated in that way?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Send your kids to the Ivy League schools and they'll
turn them back out. To you, and they will be
anti capitalists and anti climate change individuals. They are radicalized
by the left to have overtaken these universities. Many of
these universities, by the way, have been overtaken by China
and other countries that give massive donations to these Ivy
League schools to have influence over how they indoctrinate and
(10:37):
teach your kids and grandkids.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That's something you need to understand.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You look at all the money that came in, for example,
to the Biden Center, it was all from the Chinese
communists that we're sending it. In the amount of money
that comes into Harvard and Yellen Princeton from the Chinese communists.
You think they're doing it because they love America. No,
they're doing it so that those schools will indoctrinate kids
to hate America.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's why they do it. And so you look at
this individual.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
He subscribe to these anti capitalists and climate change causes.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
According to law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Citing his online activity by authorities, the individual was Valley Victorian.
We also now know for a fact of his twenty
sixteen high school graduating class at the Gilman School in Baltimore,
he was a stand out soccer player. According to online sites,
his high school tuition at the all boys school was
(11:28):
nearly forty thousand a year. So he came from money, right, Like,
it's pretty clear he came from money. But when you
send your kids to these elitist schools that are being
controlled by anti capitalists and those are obsessed with global warming,
this is what they do to your kids, and then
at the Ivy Leagues they reinforce it. He'sat at the
(11:52):
time of graduation, and he planned a secret degree in
artificial intelligence focus on the areas of computer science and
cognitive science at the Universe Pennsylvania that according to an
interview with the Baltimore Fish Bowl, the Tech hotshot graduated
Cumlatti from the private Ivy League institution in Philadelphia with
(12:12):
a Bachelor of Science and Engineering Computer and Information Science
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
According to his LinkedIn profile.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
He also completed a Master of Science and Engineering Computer
and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
His profile states.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
His LinkedIn page suggests he's a data engineer at a
car company based in California, although he lists his current
home as Honolulu in Hawaii. What we now know is
he stalked the CEO, apparently finding online schedules of where
the man would be, and now they have him in custody.
What's even more shocking about this individual is well, a
(12:52):
Wall Street Journal article on Facebook that he reposted in
twenty nineteen was titled Obstacles to deficit a nation of
on a nation on entitlements. His Facebook account, which also
did not have any recent posting, says he is the
co founder of app Roar Studios, which describes itself as
(13:13):
an app development startup founded to provide the simplest and
most engaging gaming experience. We're also being told that while
at Penn, the individual appears in an article in a
student publication that prais him for starting up a student
run video game development club. The club is now known
as the University of Penn Game Research and Development Environment.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Obviously this individual had some screws loose, but he was
indoctrinated to hate capitalists, He was indoctrinated to hate CEOs.
He was indoctionateed to hate people in healthcare. This is
what radicals will do to your kids. If you hand
over their minds to them, you may think, oh, I'm
sending them to a forty thousand dollars year high school.
That'll that'll make everything be just fun. Apparently not. Then
(14:02):
you say, oh, well, you get into Ivy League the
University of Penn that'll make everything fine.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Apparently not.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
This is just one of the problems, one of the
many problems that is with our public schools and our
private schools, and they become indoctrination factories to tell people
that somehow America is evil, capitalism is evil, and people
that are involved in it are evil, and the people
(14:31):
that are involved in it should somehow be taken out
or executed. This type of radicalism doesn't just happen overnight, Okay,
This type of radicalism isn't something that just randomly appears.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It is an indoctrination.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Was this person obviously brilliant on paper, no doubt about it,
no doubt about it. But this is an individual that
was radicalized by the extreme left running our campuses. And
when you hear all this come out, watch how fast
they try to just make it all disappear. Watch how
fast they try to make it all go away. Watch
(15:11):
how fast they just say, move on to the next thing.
Nothing to see here. It is going to happen extremely fast.
They are going to move on from the story when
it comes out that he's a radical leftist, and they're
going to then move on to well, is healthcare too expensive?
Are there too many people that are denied health care?
(15:32):
Are these CEOs? Should their lives be at risk? Because
I say this not because he's radical, but because of
what has been celebrated by the left online. The left
online has been celebrating the death of the CEO, and
the reason why they've been celebrating is actually now very clear,
because they believe that these CEOs are evil and this
(15:56):
is somehow a success, this is somehow a good thing,
This is somehow something that we should all be excited about.
That is what the left is advocating for and supporting
right now, and that is pure evil. I want to
take a moment and talk to you about IFCJ. The
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, wants to wish you
(16:16):
a blessed beginning of the holiday season as you gather
with your families, grateful for the blessings that God has
given us all, but let's also remember those who are
facing unbelievable hardship in need of food. Fellowship and hope.
That includes the people of Israel, who are threatened daily
by attacks from enemies on all sides. And during these
(16:40):
hard times, Israelis are thankful for the Fellowship for food
and basic assistance, truly life saving aid, when the rest
of the world seems to have turned its back on them.
Your gift of twenty five dollars will help provide a
food box to an elderly Jew or a Jewish family
who are suffering and in desperate need. A gift of
(17:01):
one hundred dollars will help provide four of these life
saving food boxes this holiday season. Please consider standing with
Israel and the Jewish people. You can go to SUPPORTIFCJ
dot org. That's support IFCJ dot org. To make a
gift now that SUPPORTIFCJ dot org, or you can call
(17:22):
to give at eight to eight for eight eight IFCJ.
That's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five.
Now I want to get to this other big story,
and that is the story about Daniel Penny. Daniel Penny
should have never been put through this trial in the
(17:43):
first place in New York. He is a hero, and
they just acquitted the man on a less on the
lesser crime. Double Jeffrey cases are often argued back and
forth by prosecutors, but even in New York, Jonathan Turtley said,
this is a shock, and this is a case that
should have never ever have been brought.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Take a listen to this on Fox.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
But it's an extraordinary moment. It took too long. It
should never have happened. This case, in my view, should
never have been brought. And I don't think that even
Alvin Bragg would try to get around double jeopardy in
this case. I think it would be absurd. They just
acquitted him on the lesser crime. Double jeopardy cases are
(18:27):
often argued back and forth by prosecutors, but even in
New York, I think that would be a ludicrous step
to take. And so he is very likely out of this.
He is facing a civil case. It's an interesting situation
because he was just acquitted under a quasi criminal negligent standard.
(18:49):
He's now going to be forced into a civil case
with a lower standard of proof. But still he was
able to beat the lower standard on the criminal side.
So we'll have to watch this goes forward. But he
should never have been put through this in the first place.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So why was he put through it.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He was put through it because he was an actual
law abody saysen that stopped someone from hurting people on
the subway.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And they didn't like the fact that he was former veteran.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
They didn't like the fact that he actually took matters
into his own hands. They didn't like the fact that
he was probably somebody that was a conservative, and they
looked at him as a vigilanting like, well, well, well,
we don't want that. We want the criminals to be
running this city. We don't want people stopping the criminals
that are running this city. That's something we don't want.
(19:38):
That's something we don't know want to happen. We don't
want there to be heroes in New York City for
stopping the villains. Judge Janine on Fox had this to say,
take a listen.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
To Daniel Penny now, and you've been on this case
from the very beginning, you will have a chance to
sit down with him. I'm also told we have brand
new video after the not guilty verdict of him leaving
a bar.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Is that correct? Okay?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Here we go went out for a drink to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I guess I know the bar.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Wow, look at that looks like wall shy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Me tell yourself.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
And this guy, Danny Penny, for the last year and
a half has been totally, totally rigid. He hasn't done
anything other than respect the system, respect the citizen, the
New York City and the everything about this case.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
God blessom he paid their.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Time for him to let loose a little bitou This is.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
A zen guy.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Remember he played in the symphony. He's twenty six years old.
He's a kid.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Yeah, and you think about what he has been through.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, he's been through hell for no reason. If that prosecutor,
Alvin Bragg, weren't the progressive Sorows funded prosecutor, this would
never have happened.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Wow, judge, we appreciate you. By the way.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Let's just be honest about what this case is all about.
This is about a white guy choking out a black
ghana subway. That's why Alvin Bragg saw the opportunity. Alvin
Bragg said, I got a white guy who served his country,
who is we're going to assume is conservative in nature
because he served his country and he choked out a
(21:10):
black guy, and that's something that we're saying no to.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It also fit all their narratives.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And when I say fit all their narratives, it was
a choke hold, right, Well, you can't choke hold right
because it fit into the Black Lives matter and choke
holds by police have been used.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And oh, this is a guy that's white in the military.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
This is a white guy that is out there just
choking out black men left and right, and so we're
going to nail him right on this case. The New
York City jury on Monday found this marine veteran not
guilty of criminally negligent homicide and the choke hold death
of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car.
(21:51):
In twenty thirteen, CBS News reported that Penny, twenty six,
pleaded not guilty of charge of second degree manslaughter and
criminally negligent homicide. He trusts the system. That is incredibly risky.
Think the lord that he trusted the system. The judge
dismissed the second degree manslaughter charge against Penny on Friday
after jurors said they could not come to a unanimous decision.
(22:15):
Penny's lawyers said he was protecting himself another subway passengers
from a volatile, mentally ill man who was making alarming
remarks and gestures. The defense also disputed a city's medical
examiners finding that the choco killed Neely. Prosecutor said Penny
reacted far too forcefully to someone he perceived as a peril,
(22:36):
not a person. The jury panel could not consider the
negligent homicide charge of Penny was cleared of manslaughter, which
is what the dismissal did. Where did the verdict comes?
After jurors deliberated for more than twenty hours. Penny faced
a maximum possible sentence of fifteen years in prison on
the manslaughter charge or four years on the negligent homicide charge.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
There is no minimum.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Sentence, meaning this judge could have just said we're going
to throw you in there for twenty twenty five years.
The acquittal, by the way, came after jurors heard from
more than forty witnesses, including passengers who described Mealy's terrifying
outbursts on the train before Penny approached him from behind
and took him down.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
At the Broadway Lofayette station.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Penny himself did not take the stand during the trial,
which his defense lawyers saying their client statements to police
adequately described the encounter, but several of his relatives, friends
and fellow Marines did, describing him as an upstanding, patriotic,
an empathetic man. So that's what gets you in trouble
with these activist radical DA's. They saw a man that
(23:44):
was upstanding, patriotic, and empathetic, who was white, who choked
out a black man, and that's all this.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Activist da needed. Alvin Bragg, the.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Same guy that tried to lock up Donald Trump and
bankrupt him.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Don't forget that.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
While the criminal trial played out and Neeli's father filed
a wrongful death suit against Penny as jury deliberations began
on Tuesday, December the second. So this isn't over unfortunately,
because you still have the civil part where they're going
to try to get paid. They're going to try to
bankrupt this young man who clearly did the right thing.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
He's not a villain, he's a hero.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
But what I know is pretty darn clear here they
want this man to be a man that they sent
to jail to send a message to anybody out there,
you better not do the right thing when a criminal
is involved.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
And by the way, if.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You're white, you better not do anything to an African
American man, even if that African American man is threatening
you and everybody around you, because if you do in
New York City, we will throw the book at you.
I will also say one other thing that I think
is really important, and that's this, If I'm this guy,
(24:59):
I get the hell out of New York City. I
would never want to be in a place where if
you do the right thing, this is what they do
to you, because now they're going to be people that
see you and they might try to antagonize you. Because
the leftist media turned this guy into the villain, not
the hero. They should have turned him into the hero
from the very beginning because it was very clear that
(25:20):
he was a hero. But if I'm him, I'd get
the hell out of there as fast as I possibly could.
I wouldn't wait a round on this. I would run
to a state like Florida or Texas or any of
the flyover states where you would be considered a hero.
(25:41):
Because when I saw the video, I was like, Dude,
this guy's a legend. This guy's a hero. Look at
what he just did to protect people around him that
he didn't even know. This guy is a hero. God
bless this man for standing up for the people that
were vulnerable on that subway, and you can go out
there and you can see the video that were posted
and you can look at them. And this is why
(26:02):
he had over forty witnesses that came to his aid.
And it's very very clear that the jury listened to
those forty witnesses and they heard something which was, Hey,
this guy did what we were hoping somebody would do.
This guy did what we were hoping somebody would have
the kones to do.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
This.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
This guy did what we everybody what we needed him
to do, and we're thankful for him. You're in a
city like New York on the subway and I look,
my dad and I were there for seventieth and there
was a clearly a mentally disturbed homeless man that was
an incredibly great shape. The guy was jacked, he was
(26:43):
clearly on drugs. And he got on to the subway
and there was two grown men sitting there and he
screamed bloody murder like a demon possessed man for them
to get out of their seats. And the two men
got up and they moved over to the other side
of the car, and he looked at me and started
(27:06):
shaking like a psychopath, like I mean what you could
see it in his eyes and his face and started
like an animal seething. And I had two options that moment.
I could either stare right back at him and make
it clear I'm not afraid of you, even though I
absolutely was afraid of him, or I could look straight
down at my shoes and I stared right back at him, like, hey,
(27:27):
you think you're crazy, watch me. He was staring at
us for three stops, and then he got off at
times square, knocked into an old woman, and kept going.
This guy wasn't afraid of anyone. And I think that's
basically what he saw that day, was someone like that. Now,
if that guy attacked somebody on there or started getting
in someone's face and I jumped him from behind, am
(27:48):
I a hero or am I a criminal? I hope
in America today, at least we still And this is
part of.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
The reason I think people don't act anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
This is why I think the bad people have gotten
so and bolden in this country all over the country,
is because it used to be that we people would
stand up, and now people are afraid, because they're afraid
their life's going to be ruined by doing the right thing.
I don't like that because I think it puts even
more people's lives at risk. I really don't. I don't
like it. In fact, I hate it. And the reason
(28:20):
why I say that I hate it is because there
used to be a level of confidence that, hey, you
got a bunch of men on a train or on
a bus or on a U in a place where
someone might do something and like, hey, you're there's too
many of us here. You don't do that, We're gonna
we're gonna come after you, like we're going to defend
ourselves and protect other people.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And now people are so afraid to do that. They're
terrified to do it, folks.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
And the reason why they're terrified to do it is
for the reason I just point out. They're afraid they're
going to get in trouble. And the message at New
York City said on this subway car is if there's
someone doing something wrong, don't get involved, because if you do,
we may put you in jail.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And that's sad.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I want to get into this other subject, and I
mentioned this on this show, and if you missed it,
go back and down with the podcast about it's time
for us to stand up for Trump nominees. And it
looks like enough of you have put pressure on your
senators that that is now starting to happen, because we're
exposing these senators who are sitting there acting like they
can't vote for Trump's nominees, but they had no problem
(29:29):
voting for radical nominees.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Under Biden and under Obama.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'll give you an example, and this is a segment
that I'm about to do that I want you to
share so you can again share the podcast of this
and make sure people hear this. Several Senate Republicans who
previously confirm President Joe Biden's cabinet nominees are now appearing
hesitant about some of a president like Donald Trump's appointees.
(30:00):
Republicans are side stepping questions surrounding Trump's more contentious nominees,
calling into question which of his picks will survive the
confirmation process. This coming from The Daily Caller. The nominees
attracting the most pushback from within the GOP's tent include
Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Headseth, the Director of National
(30:21):
Intelligence nominee Toulsi Gabbard, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services HHS nominee Robert F. Kenney Junior, and the FBI
director nominee Cash Ptel. While many of these Republicans supported
Biden's cabinet confirmations, I'm going to say that again. Several
(30:42):
of these Senate Republicans previously confirmed some of the most
radical Joe Biden cabinet nominees, are now like, well, we're
hesitant about.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Some of President elect Donald Trump's appointees.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Really, some Republicans are side stepping questions surrounding Trump's more
contentious nominees, calling in the question which of his picks
will survive? Oh okay, so now that's what we're doing. Well,
many of these Republicans supported Biden's cabinet confirmations, they now
(31:16):
are saying, well, we need to really look at these people,
all right, So let's talk about the senators who previously
voted to confirm Biden's nominees, such as the Attorney general
who has broken countless laws in my opinion, Merrick Garland.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Also let's look at the Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You know, the guy that went a wall while serving
a Secretary of Defense and still didn't get fired. Lloyd Austin,
who has spent more time radicalizing the DoD than anything else,
saying we should pay for transgendered surgeries and kick out amazing,
unbelievable soldiers because they wouldn't get the COVID vaccine. And
(31:55):
even after they dropped that mandate, they're still not reinstating
those people to their jobs. How about the Secretary of
Homeland Security has been held and condemned to Congress, Alexandro
Majorcis have been impeached. Are now all of these people
were voted as yes is by these radical Republicans and
(32:16):
now they're like, well, we're non committal about Trump's choices.
Trump's nominees aimed to reverse Biden's administration policies and reinstated
is America First agenda.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's why they hate him.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Members of Biden's cabinet, meanwhile, have drawn harsh criticism during
their tenures.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Particularly my Orcis are.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Republicans criticized for failing to stem the influx of illegal
immigrants across the southern border, lying to the American people
saying that the border is secure, the border is secure,
the border is secure.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
It was never secured.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
They opened it up on purpose, and guests who confirmed
my orcis the same Republicans who are now saying we
have questions and worries about Donald Trump's nominees.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
The other thing that is also shocking is the fact
that Austin, who was the guy who was in charge
of the horrific mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal which actually
left thirteen Americans.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Dead in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Austin was also grilled in February over what he called
a breakdown of notifications quote unquote, after he failed to
notify Biden others that he was in the intensive care
unit for surgery related to prostate cancer.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
But these Republicans voted to confirm that guy as well.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Republicans have also ripped Garland, who they say was clearly
over the weaponization of the Department of Justice. In retaliation
to Donald Trump and the people around Trump what happened.
The same Republicans that are saying now they've got problems
with Donald Trump's picks said yes to that guy Garland
(33:58):
being in charge of the radicalization and weaponization of the
deep state. House Republicans even introduced a resolution that would
have find the Attorney General ten thousand per day were
he to continue with holding audio tapes from the interview
with Biden's special counsel Robert Hurr, so covering up for
(34:19):
the corruption of the presence part of what he's been doing.
He's still on the fence. Republican senators who voted to
confirm Garland include and listen carefully, Loisy in A Center,
Builcassidy Maine Centator Susan Collins Kentucky Center, Mitch McConnell Alaska Center,
Lisa Murkowski, South Dakota Center Mike Crowns, and South Dakota
(34:39):
Senator John Thune, who was elected in November to replace
McConnell as a Senate majority leader. Republican Iowa Senator Jenny
Earnst is also meeting with Headsets for the second time
today and has not said whether she will be voting
in favor of his confirmation, but had no problem confirming
the other peace people that I just listed. Many Republican
(35:03):
senators also vote to confirm Austin to run the Department
of Defense, but some are cagy about expressing their voting
plans for Headseth, DoD's top pick from Trump. Headseth is
facing allegations, of course, of all sorts of things, because
that's what happens when you try to serve your country
as a Republican, including sexual assault, which he has adamantly
(35:25):
denied and for which he was not charged with any crimes.
In the weeks following the announcement of his nomination, left
leanning media outlets have run numerous stories a legend that
he has a drinking problem and is sexually promiscuous. Colleagues
from Fox News have defended their colleague and response to
these allegations, which they said, Hey, he never was drunk
(35:47):
on the job like they were claiming from these anonymous sources.
The Republican senators who voted to confirm Austin but have
not revealed their vote for Headseth include Center Rounds, Senator Cassidy,
Senator Ernst, Senator Collins, Senator Thune, Senator McConnell, and Senator Murkowski.
(36:09):
Are you kidding me? This is unbelievable. I It's truly unbelievable.
You want to know something else? As GOP centers weigh
the nomination of head sth Just to put in perspective, historically,
only two senators, Senator Holly and Senator Mike Lee, voted
(36:31):
against Biden's Secretary of Defense pick Lloyd Austin back in
twenty twenty one. But all these Republican Senators would be
voting whether or not to confirm. Headseth voted to confirm
Lloyd Austin. These Republicans, you need to flood their office
with phone calls. I say it because at any moment
(36:52):
they could decide to go back the other way. Collins
and murkalsk Murkowski both voted to confirm my Kisses, the
Department of Homeland Security secretary. The two have dodged questions
about their plans on voting for Trump's cabinet picks, despite
previously supporting Joe Biden's. It's like whose team are you on?
By the way, Donald Trump has stood by his nominations.
(37:16):
The word is that headset will be with him at
the Big Army Navy Game this coming weekend to show
even more support. No Senate Democrats vote against any of
Biden's cabinet appointees, but they're wanting to vote against their
own president's nominees.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Let that sync in. Don't forget.
