The Lindsay Clancy jury tells the judge for a second time that it cannot reach a unanimous verdict, raising the likelihood of a hung jury and new questions about how the defense in this case could influence future trials. Sean also turns to the rapidly approaching midterms, challenging Abdul El-Sayed’s comments about Canada and the American dream and warning voters about the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America. With just 62 days until Election Day, Sean argues that the consequences of sitting this one out could extend far beyond a single election.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks to all of you for being with us. Write
down our toll free telephone number. You want to be
on the program. It is 800-941-SHAWN if you'd like to
join us. All right. So it is day five deliberation.
Lindsay Clancy jury. And earlier today, the jurors. once again
(00:23):
went back to the judge and asked for more instructions
because they cannot get to a unanimous verdict. And the
judge answered the question when jurors cannot agree. If they
come back this second time, the judge can order them
back a third time. But I'd say if they come
(00:45):
back the second time, they're probably hopelessly deadlocked. Although a
part of me is that there's nothing really left for
me to say on this case. You know, it's a
matter now everyone has formed an opinion on the case.
I'm not going to convince people that think otherwise. We've
debated the long term implications of this. As a matter
of fact, there's another case out there. Linda, you were
telling me that there's another case where already that people
(01:08):
are are bringing this up as a defense. She said
you sent it to me. I didn't see it in
my in my text. Yeah, I apologize.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I'm still vetting it out. But yes, we are seeing
a story coming out of Frankfurt, Illinois. Tuesday, the police
found the child unresponsive and they are trying to find
out what's going on. Supposedly, they were saying that the
mother was saying that she was in the house. She
was trying to kill herself. But as of right now,
she is in the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
And we saw another woman today. In another state, I'm
(01:36):
looking at that right now. This is from Libs of TikTok.
She supposedly killed her two-year-old daughter by gunshot wound in Tennessee.
Also found her on the front porch holding a gun
to her own head, did not kill herself, but killed
her child. So how many more women are we going
to allow to kill their children and not hold them responsible?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So the jury came out, again, deadlocked. And I think, look,
to be fair to the jury, the jury pool is
what it is. And a state like Massachusetts, which we
have covered exhaustively, and that is that, okay, it is
a liberal state, very liberal, and it doesn't have a
single Republican representative in the House of Representatives, doesn't have
(02:19):
a single Republican senator in Washington, so they have zero
Republican representation, very little in the state legislature, and they've
got an extremely left-wing governor that just signed into law
an abortion bill that allows abortion up until the moment
of birth, which is nothing short of infanticide. Anyway, so
(02:41):
the judge went through a pretty exhaustive explanation about what
to do when jurors cannot agree, explaining how decisions should
be made.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Present, for the record, 12 deliberating jurors and six alternates
in the matter of Commonwealth v.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Lindsay Clancy.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
All other parties are present.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. All right.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Members of the jury, I've got you a question, or
probably more of a statement than a question, saying after
much deliberation, we are still unable to come to a
unanimous decision.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Now, based on that, I'm going to give you another instruction,
all right? And it's this. Our constitution and laws provide
that in a criminal case, the principal way for deciding
questions of fact is by the verdict of a jury.
In most cases, perhaps strictly speaking in all cases, absolute
(03:37):
certainty cannot be attained, nor is it expected. The verdict
to which a juror agrees must be their own, the
result of their own convictions, and not a mere acquiescence
in the conclusions of their fellow jurors. Yet, in order
to bring 12 minds to a unanimous result, you must
(03:57):
examine the questions submitted to you with candor and with
proper regard and deference and respect to the opinions of
each other. You should consider that it is desirable that
the case be decided and that you have been selected
in the same manner and from the same source from
which any future jury would be. There is no reason
(04:20):
to suppose that the case will ever be submitted to
12 persons more intelligent, more impartial, or more competent to
decide that more or clearer evidence will be produced. And
with this in mind, it's your duty to decide the
case if you can do it conscientiously. In order to
(04:41):
make a decision more attainable, the law imposes the burden
of proof on one party or the other in all cases.
In the present case, a criminal case, the burden of
proof is on the Commonwealth to establish every element of
the crime charge beyond reasonable doubt. If you are left
in doubt of any element of the crime, the defendant
(05:04):
is entitled to the benefit of the doubt and must
be acquitted. However, in conferring together, you ought to pay
proper respect to each other's opinions and listen with an
open mind to each other's arguments. Thus, where there is disagreement,
jurors for acquittal should consider whether a doubt in their
(05:26):
own minds is a reasonable one if it makes no
impression on the mind's of others who are equally honest,
equally intelligent, and who have heard the same evidence with
the same attention, with an equal desire to arrive at
the truth, and who have taken the same oath as jurors.
On the other hand, Jurors for conviction ought seriously to
(05:49):
ask themselves whether they may not reasonably doubt the correctness
of a judgment that is not concurred in by other
members of the jury, and whether they should distrust the
weight or adequacy of the evidence that fails to convince
the minds of fellow jurors. With that, I now ask
you to return to your deliberations with these thoughts in mind.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
All right, the judge doing his very best to prevent
a hung jury. The odds have grown exponentially that that
is going to be the outcome in this. Wouldn't surprise
me in any way, shape, matter, or form. It is
what it is. I don't have a whole lot to add.
I know a lot of you, and it's captured the
attention of many in the nation, not everybody, but a
(06:34):
lot of people in the country. And I certainly understand
it because of the absolute, you know, the scary part
of this I think the debate we had with Tiffany
Smiley and Nancy Grace yesterday was particularly important. And as
Linda mentioned, there's a number of cases now around the country.
I don't even want to I don't even want to
call attention to them. But I can guarantee you the
(06:56):
Lindsay Clancy defense is going to become more common or
a spinoff of it. And I think that I can
say that with great certainty and great specificity. And I
don't think I'm wrong in any way, shape, manner or form.
So we'll continue to watch, monitor what happens today. Usually
they break a little before 4, 3.30, 4 o'clock every
(07:19):
single day. I think we'll probably, they'll continue to follow
that pattern. I would imagine that whoever the foreperson of
this jury is has just determined there's only so much
they can take on any given day. And probably after
five days, people's patience are fried, especially after now two
notes to the judge that they can't reach a unanimous verdict.
(07:43):
By the way, you know, so we have El Sayed.
El Sayed is pretty interesting to me, and I have
no earthly idea what Larry Sabato is thinking. He thinks
Republicans will hold the Senate but lose the House. I
think all bets are off on what's going to happen
in 62 days. But he's now saying today, and, you know,
he favored Democrats Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris and their
(08:06):
two failed presidential bids, now says Republicans... are more likely
to hold on to the Senate. There's a problem whenever pollsters,
and maybe this is part of the reason why this
election year we have seen atrocious polls that have been
off by massive amounts, not just double digits, but in
(08:26):
the case of El Sayed, there were polls showing him
up 20, one by one. In the case of Francesca Hong,
I mean, one poll had her up by 30, other
polls had her in the 20s, and at 21, 22.
I mean, just crazy numbers. And then she lost by
3000 votes. So I don't trust pollsters with a few exceptions.
And those are the people that we bring on regularly
(08:48):
on this show. That would be, you know, Matt Towery,
Insider Advantage, Robert Cahaley, Trafalgar. That would be John McLaughlin,
McLaughlin and Associates. To a certain degree, Rasmussen is fairly accurate.
In the last presidential cycle, I did notice Atlas was closed,
but nobody knows who the hell they even are. But
(09:09):
we we can't get away from the fact that these
are definitely uncharted waters. I am not making a prediction
in terms of the midterm. I'm just telling you that
there is way too much at stake for you to
sit out the election. And that, you know, while while
there may be Republicans that we don't love, that we
(09:30):
wish would fight harder and we all do and we
know who they are. The reality is there's no Republican
that is supporting this DSA agenda or sitting idly by
and silently by and not having the moral courage to
speak out, at least on that level. I don't think
it takes a lot of courage to speak out on
(09:52):
the DSA stated agenda on their website, even still. And
we are waiting for the day that they have to
take it down because they're going to realize that, well,
politically it's a liability and the polls are showing it.
And more importantly, they'll just adapt, adopt the strategy, which
is let's lie to people. You know, that was so
woke one point. Oh, crazy. We don't believe what we said.
(10:13):
And I don't believe they've changed for a minute. But
in the case of Al-Sayed claiming that Canada is, And
Canada's economist, you know, he's saying that Canada's economists say
Americans have a much higher standard of living and are
far more prosperous than Americans. It's on Yahoo Finance. You know,
this is a guy now that has been longing for
(10:34):
his home country of Egypt, where his father grew up
and went every summer to visit in the sense of
community he felt there. and then goes about, you know,
repeatedly trashing the country and hanging out with the guy
that said America deserved 9-11 and hates America, Hassan Piker,
his buddy. I mean, now, you know, after that, he
(10:54):
comes out and says, we find tapes of him saying,
you know, about America. He said, economic data shows us
that if you want to achieve the American dream, well,
you should move to Canada because it's twice as likely
to happen there. Now, you can have your opinion, but
your opinion is not necessarily factual. And in this case,
it's not factual. Because yesterday, we mentioned that Abdul El-Sayed
(11:19):
has been urging Americans to move to Canada. Why does
he even want to represent America if he thinks he
has a better community in Egypt and a better shot
at the American dream in Canada? Well, Canada pays the
lowest percentage of their GDP because their GDP is not
particularly high to begin with. Because they don't even have
a national defense like they once used to. Just like
(11:39):
Europe is disintegrating before our eyes, Western Europe. And they
have adopted radical socialism, climate alarmism, unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation.
I've gone through this repeatedly. And, you know, but for
Donald Trump, four more years of Biden-Harris-Mayorkas open borders, it's
probably game, set, match, and the country's over. In terms of,
(12:02):
we weren't vetting any of these people. Over 200 countries.
Countries with terror ties. And, you know, we know of
known terrorists that they led in the country. And murderers
and rapists and child molesters, other violent criminals. Anyway, so
Abdul Syed said that. Well, actually, economic data released just yesterday.
Timing is perfect. You know, by Canada's nonpartisan Fraser Institute
(12:25):
shows exactly the opposite of what Al Syed is claiming.
Their study shows Americans are far more economically successful than Canadians.
We have a higher standard of living. We are in
significantly higher incomes. We are far more prosperous than our
socialist Canadian neighbors to the north. And, you know. Yahoo
(12:46):
Finance goes on to quote them saying, squandering the Canadian
century part one, comparing the economic performance in Canada versus
the U.S. And it compares the economic outcomes in the
two countries by looking at living standards, incomes, employment, investment, productivity.
And in every category, Canada has fallen further behind the U.S.
(13:06):
over the first quarter century. And in 1999, GDP per
person was over $ 10, 000 higher in the U.S. That has increased,
by the way, to more than $ 23, 000, meaning the gap
in living standards between Canada and the U.S. has more
than doubled. And on every measure, America smokes Canada. You
(13:26):
want to live in Canada. Good luck with this single-payer
health care system. There's a reason that people will spend
their own money rather than go through that system to
get into the American health care system. It just is
it is beginning to get under my skin. It's beginning
to bother me. The fact that, you know, the narrative
(13:47):
in this country, this is where the information crisis is
so vital. And why why shows like this and and
shows like Kennedy on Fox and there are others. I
don't want to I'm going to forget a bunch of people.
They're going to get pissed. I'm not trying to do that.
And for those that are educating their audiences and telling
them the truth and not towing the abusively corrupt and
(14:09):
biased legacy media mob talking points of trashing Trump at
all costs, there is so much at stake in this election.
There really is. I just keep going back to, you know,
certain races. Troy Jackson, you know, the guy with this
accused of a violent temper. You know, one woman in
the state legislature that served with him said, yeah, he
(14:30):
threw a water bottle at her. Never mind the allegation,
specific allegation by somebody that says he witnessed an open
hand slap a woman. It's on tape. You can listen
for it yourself. We've played it enough on this program.
And then you got Abdul El-Sayed. And then you got
six-gendered Tallarico. And God is non-binary. And biological men should
(14:53):
play women's sports.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
And.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You know, trans people, including biological men, need access to abortion.
And a welcome mat at the southern border, you know,
wants to run a vegan campaign in a cattle state.
Wants no drilling and claims, you know, to be on
par with Jesus at times, seemingly. You know, and Jesus
was controversial, too. He was a radical. I think El-Sayed
(15:17):
said that. Now, we told you about this issue with
El-Sayed and, you know, saying he misses his home country
of Egypt. Well, there's nothing preventing him from going back
to his home country of Egypt. Nothing. I'm not preventing
him from going back if he loves it so much.
Why does he want to run in Michigan? What does
(15:38):
he think he's going to accomplish? Why doesn't he run
in Canada if he thinks that the American dream is
more achievable in Canada? There is an interesting take on
all of this that has emerged, though, and I thought
the New York Post captured it very well in their
editorial today. And that is that mainstream Democrats. are now
(16:00):
failing the Abdul El-Sayed test badly. They're flunking it. For starters,
the establishment seems to be buying the creepy Michigan Senate
candidate's pseudo-apology for his obscene justification back in March for
a crazed Islamist attempt to slaughter children at a suburban
(16:21):
Detroit Jewish day school. You know, hurt people hurt people.
El-Sayed smugly told Michigan Jewish people twice in a video
statement at the time, explaining that the perpetrator was upset.
It sounds like rationalization to me. The perpetrator was upset,
(16:42):
Ayman Ghazali, because his Hezbollah commander, a terrorist group, by
the way, brother got killed in an Israel airstrike on
a weapons depot. Well, they've been at war with Israel,
the Hezbollah, for a long time and funded by Iran.
(17:02):
So let's be real. You know, who's the victim? Who's
the victim on October 7th? And that's another thing. You
anti-Semites out there, you repulse me. You just do. I
find you repulsive. I find you dumb and ignorant and repulsive.
You know, Bibi Netanyahu dictates Donald Trump's policies. I've known
the man 30 years. Nobody dictates his policies. You know,
(17:27):
in the lead up to Midnight Hammer, Epic Fury, I
know for a fact Donald Trump talked to every single
person he could, listened to every opinion available, and he
does what he always does, and that's make up his
own mind. Trump doctrine, very clear in the first term,
wiped out ISIS, Soleimani, Baghdadi, dropped the mother of all
(17:48):
bombs on Afghanistan, and there are these, you know, pseudo,
you know, what do you call them? you know, woke right,
you know, white nationalist supporting, anti-Semite supporting. You know, what
would you expect America to do? Israel's a very small country.
They're under fire. I've been there many times. They're under
(18:10):
fire constantly. I've been there during conflict. Linda, you were
on one of those trips. You were on the tunnel trip,
if I recall. And I remember... When we were at Storot,
the border town with Gaza, which you can see with
the naked eye, takes 12 seconds for a rocket to
be fired out of Gaza into this small little town,
(18:31):
a border town, with a fence separating it from Gaza. And,
you know, you can see Gaza with the naked eye.
And if a rocket's fired, it takes 12 seconds for
that rocket to land in that town. When we went there,
it was 2015. Again, we've been to Israel many times.
When we went there, that town had previously been hit
in the last decade prior to our arrival with 10,000
(18:54):
rockets in 10 years. And I was stunned when I
saw that the children had to play in underground bunker playgrounds.
They couldn't play outside. They couldn't play in the sun
because there's not enough time if a rocket's fired for
them to escape. And sure enough, we went back to
that town the next day. And what had happened overnight?
(19:17):
They call it a kibbutz. A kibbutz is a neighborhood
that we would refer to as a neighborhood in the U.S.
And sure enough, a rocket was fired the night before.
It was in the middle of hostilities, and we were there.
We even had, at one point, I don't think I'm
underestimating it, about 100 yards from us, a rocket landed, and,
(19:38):
you know, we saw the big puff of smoke. That
was a little bit of a reality check, wouldn't you say, Linda,
at that one moment?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
There were a few moments like that on that trip, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
We went out with the IDF. These young men and
women were so, you know, remarkably courageous and brave, and
they're tough. I don't know. There's something about living with
the reality that you may not survive and that your
country's under a constant attack that just, it's a mind
shift that I don't think... you know, entitled young people
(20:10):
today could actually relate to. If, if that may, and
I'm not, I'm not attacking young people. We want to
save for war. We don't want, do we really want
to be in a state of war?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You know, this was the misconception of Lindsey Graham that
he wanted, he's a war monk. No, he doesn't want war.
I don't want war. I wish there was no evil
in this world. And then sure enough, we go down
in the underground tunnels and And it is sophisticated. It
turns out hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles of
(20:40):
tunnels they built out. Money designated for hospitals and schools
and infrastructure and, you know, things to make the lives
of the people in Gaza better. And it's wasted on
tunnels so that they can kill more, quote, Jews. And
that's what they were used for in the dark of
the night. Then October 7th happens. The population is under
(21:04):
9 million people. Not a very large population. It's a
small country, about the size of New Jersey. And that
country has been under fire forever. And then October 7th happens,
1,200 people killed, never mind those raped and kidnapped and beheaded,
because that's all on tape too, because I've seen it.
(21:26):
And the IDF does not want to release it publicly.
The families don't want their loved ones being seen that way,
even if you pixel out their faces publicly. And it's like,
people say, well, that would be the, if you compare
their population to ours, a little over 350 million last
time I checked, I don't know, off the top of
my head. And that would be like 40,000 dead Americans
(21:47):
in a day. What would you want America to do
if that happened to this country? I know what I'd
want our leadership to do, obliterate whoever did it. Full stop.
No questions. Hannity, you're a warmonger.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I believe in liberty and freedom that would be under attack.
And I'd want to defend it and defend our way
of life and not give in to radicalism and terrorism. Anyway,
so this guy Al-Sayed is, you know, he makes these comments. And,
you know, after this happens, you know, there's a justification
(22:25):
for this crazed, Islamists attempt to slaughter children at a
suburban Detroit Jewish day school. Her people, her people thinks
he's a genius, a wordsmith. And on Sunday, he expressed
some regret for those words, admitting that, that right after
the attacks was the wrong time, the wrong time to
(22:47):
be contextualizing the perps motives. That is, he still believes
the words were correct. And he, And the Jewish people
just weren't ready to hear it. They're being too specific
in listening to his words. They're taking it too literally.
(23:09):
He refuses to disavow Hassan Piker. You know, his toxic,
as the New York Post put it rightly, anti-Americanism, overt
hatred of, I take it as hatred. How do you
blame America for 9-11? Unbelievable. Unbelievable. You know, El-Sayed regularly
had Piker stumping for him. Piker was on, I guess,
(23:30):
with Charlemagne the God and said, no, I was asked
to go on the campaign trail. I'd never done that before.
He was asked by El-Sayed, his buddy. Top Democrats, where's
Chuck Schumer? They sit by as El-Sayed worms out of
his ugly record, just like they did with Graham Platner,
just like they're doing with his temper-filled temper tantrum replacement,
(23:53):
Graham Platner 2.0, Troy Jackson. as they ignore the insanity
of six-gender Telerico, God is non-binary Telerico, a welcome mat
at the border, open border Telerico. I mean, it's insane.
I've gone through all this. This is a prescription for
ruining the country. And this is, you know, for as
(24:17):
weak as some Republicans are, and Linda and I have
been debating this privately, maybe we'll bring it on the
air later, you know, she thinks it's a uniparty. I'm
not going to speak for I'll let her speak later.
And I'm like, no, because there's no Republican that believes this. Yes,
there are weak Republicans, but they're not supporting this, this
absolute madness and insanity. I don't know one. And to
(24:42):
their credit, they're speaking out against it. Can they be
stronger on the same act? Hell yeah. I wish they would.
I wish they had Trump's backbone of steel. I wish
they did. Um, town hall had a piece. We found
every nine 11 tweet. El Syed didn't want you to see,
you know, why is it? Do you think fake news
(25:03):
CNN is going to go through all of this? I
don't think so. Anybody on ABC, NBC, CBN, they're going
to go through this. I don't think so. I don't
think any of it's happening. You know, it is, it
is unbelievable. Unbelievable. You know, El-Sayed's deleted tweets about 9-11
and the attacks over the years, the best part is
he's tried to turn the deadliest terror attack into this
(25:25):
both sides argument, saying 9-11 was awful, but our justified
war against terrorism, a long campaign of self-defense, was somehow
equally atrocious. What were we supposed to do for the
2,977 dead Americans 25 years ago? What are we supposed
(25:46):
to take it and put a smile on our face
and just say, well, it's justifiable? No. There is evil
in this world. By ignoring evil in the last century,
and that means Mao, you know, Assam Piker likes to
dress up as Mao. Weird. Mao killed tens of millions. Stalin,
(26:12):
same thing. In Russia, communism. You know, the same thing, Hitler, Germany, Nazism, Mussolini, fascism, Tojo, Japan,
Pol Pot, the killing fields. In the last century, the
estimate is over 100 million dead human souls in the
(26:32):
name of some ism. And we're not going to fight
back against it. We're just going to take it and
we're going to be good people. And we're just not
going to respond in kind.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Abdul El-Sayed, the fact U.S. government continues to pit the
Afghan people against 9-11 families is appalling. All are victims,
he said. The hypocrisy of the U.S. war on terror. Wow.
Blaming us. Defending America should never have meant responding to
tribalistic grievance with tribalistic grievance.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It should be meant by embracing the ideals that transcend it.
I mourn the 3,000 lives, the 6,000 injuries. Tomorrow, I'll
mourn the one million lives of injuries and infrastructure devastation
in three countries. COVID-19 has taken over 3,000 American lives,
more than 9-11. This guy is dangerous. Tallarico is dangerous.
(27:31):
Troy Jackson is dangerous. This DSA movement is dangerous. And
you got 62 days until Election Day. What are you
going to do about it? Because if you don't get
yourself and motivate yourself and do your part, then we're
going to get the worst government we ever dreamed of.
And America, as we know it, risks never being the
(27:53):
same again. That's overstating the case, Hannity. I don't think so.
Thanks to all of you for being with us. Write
down our toll free telephone number. You want to be
on the program. It is 800-941-SHAWN if you'd like to
join us. All right. So it is day five deliberation.
Lindsay Clancy jury. And earlier today, the jurors. once again
(00:23):
went back to the judge and asked for more instructions
because they cannot get to a unanimous verdict. And the
judge answered the question when jurors cannot agree. If they
come back this second time, the judge can order them
back a third time. But I'd say if they come
(00:45):
back the second time, they're probably hopelessly deadlocked. Although a
part of me is that there's nothing really left for
me to say on this case. You know, it's a
matter now everyone has formed an opinion on the case.
I'm not going to convince people that think otherwise. We've
debated the long term implications of this. As a matter
of fact, there's another case out there. Linda, you were
telling me that there's another case where already that people
(01:08):
are are bringing this up as a defense. She said
you sent it to me. I didn't see it in
my in my text. Yeah, I apologize.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I'm still vetting it out. But yes, we are seeing
a story coming out of Frankfurt, Illinois. Tuesday, the police
found the child unresponsive and they are trying to find
out what's going on. Supposedly, they were saying that the
mother was saying that she was in the house. She
was trying to kill herself. But as of right now,
she is in the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
And we saw another woman today. In another state, I'm
(01:36):
looking at that right now. This is from Libs of TikTok.
She supposedly killed her two-year-old daughter by gunshot wound in Tennessee.
Also found her on the front porch holding a gun
to her own head, did not kill herself, but killed
her child. So how many more women are we going
to allow to kill their children and not hold them responsible?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So the jury came out, again, deadlocked. And I think, look,
to be fair to the jury, the jury pool is
what it is. And a state like Massachusetts, which we
have covered exhaustively, and that is that, okay, it is
a liberal state, very liberal, and it doesn't have a
single Republican representative in the House of Representatives, doesn't have
(02:19):
a single Republican senator in Washington, so they have zero
Republican representation, very little in the state legislature, and they've
got an extremely left-wing governor that just signed into law
an abortion bill that allows abortion up until the moment
of birth, which is nothing short of infanticide. Anyway, so
(02:41):
the judge went through a pretty exhaustive explanation about what
to do when jurors cannot agree, explaining how decisions should
be made.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Present, for the record, 12 deliberating jurors and six alternates
in the matter of Commonwealth v.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Lindsay Clancy.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
All other parties are present.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. All right.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Members of the jury, I've got you a question, or
probably more of a statement than a question, saying after
much deliberation, we are still unable to come to a
unanimous decision.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Now, based on that, I'm going to give you another instruction,
all right? And it's this. Our constitution and laws provide
that in a criminal case, the principal way for deciding
questions of fact is by the verdict of a jury.
In most cases, perhaps strictly speaking in all cases, absolute
(03:37):
certainty cannot be attained, nor is it expected. The verdict
to which a juror agrees must be their own, the
result of their own convictions, and not a mere acquiescence
in the conclusions of their fellow jurors. Yet, in order
to bring 12 minds to a unanimous result, you must
(03:57):
examine the questions submitted to you with candor and with
proper regard and deference and respect to the opinions of
each other. You should consider that it is desirable that
the case be decided and that you have been selected
in the same manner and from the same source from
which any future jury would be. There is no reason
(04:20):
to suppose that the case will ever be submitted to
12 persons more intelligent, more impartial, or more competent to
decide that more or clearer evidence will be produced. And
with this in mind, it's your duty to decide the
case if you can do it conscientiously. In order to
(04:41):
make a decision more attainable, the law imposes the burden
of proof on one party or the other in all cases.
In the present case, a criminal case, the burden of
proof is on the Commonwealth to establish every element of
the crime charge beyond reasonable doubt. If you are left
in doubt of any element of the crime, the defendant
(05:04):
is entitled to the benefit of the doubt and must
be acquitted. However, in conferring together, you ought to pay
proper respect to each other's opinions and listen with an
open mind to each other's arguments. Thus, where there is disagreement,
jurors for acquittal should consider whether a doubt in their
(05:26):
own minds is a reasonable one if it makes no
impression on the mind's of others who are equally honest,
equally intelligent, and who have heard the same evidence with
the same attention, with an equal desire to arrive at
the truth, and who have taken the same oath as jurors.
On the other hand, Jurors for conviction ought seriously to
(05:49):
ask themselves whether they may not reasonably doubt the correctness
of a judgment that is not concurred in by other
members of the jury, and whether they should distrust the
weight or adequacy of the evidence that fails to convince
the minds of fellow jurors. With that, I now ask
you to return to your deliberations with these thoughts in mind.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
All right, the judge doing his very best to prevent
a hung jury. The odds have grown exponentially that that
is going to be the outcome in this. Wouldn't surprise
me in any way, shape, matter, or form. It is
what it is. I don't have a whole lot to add.
I know a lot of you, and it's captured the
attention of many in the nation, not everybody, but a
(06:34):
lot of people in the country. And I certainly understand
it because of the absolute, you know, the scary part
of this I think the debate we had with Tiffany
Smiley and Nancy Grace yesterday was particularly important. And as
Linda mentioned, there's a number of cases now around the country.
I don't even want to I don't even want to
call attention to them. But I can guarantee you the
(06:56):
Lindsay Clancy defense is going to become more common or
a spinoff of it. And I think that I can
say that with great certainty and great specificity. And I
don't think I'm wrong in any way, shape, manner or form.
So we'll continue to watch, monitor what happens today. Usually
they break a little before 4, 3.30, 4 o'clock every
(07:19):
single day. I think we'll probably, they'll continue to follow
that pattern. I would imagine that whoever the foreperson of
this jury is has just determined there's only so much
they can take on any given day. And probably after
five days, people's patience are fried, especially after now two
notes to the judge that they can't reach a unanimous verdict.
(07:43):
By the way, you know, so we have El Sayed.
El Sayed is pretty interesting to me, and I have
no earthly idea what Larry Sabato is thinking. He thinks
Republicans will hold the Senate but lose the House. I
think all bets are off on what's going to happen
in 62 days. But he's now saying today, and, you know,
he favored Democrats Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris and their
(08:06):
two failed presidential bids, now says Republicans... are more likely
to hold on to the Senate. There's a problem whenever pollsters,
and maybe this is part of the reason why this
election year we have seen atrocious polls that have been
off by massive amounts, not just double digits, but in
(08:26):
the case of El Sayed, there were polls showing him
up 20, one by one. In the case of Francesca Hong,
I mean, one poll had her up by 30, other
polls had her in the 20s, and at 21, 22.
I mean, just crazy numbers. And then she lost by
3000 votes. So I don't trust pollsters with a few exceptions.
And those are the people that we bring on regularly
(08:48):
on this show. That would be, you know, Matt Towery,
Insider Advantage, Robert Cahaley, Trafalgar. That would be John McLaughlin,
McLaughlin and Associates. To a certain degree, Rasmussen is fairly accurate.
In the last presidential cycle, I did notice Atlas was closed,
but nobody knows who the hell they even are. But
(09:09):
we we can't get away from the fact that these
are definitely uncharted waters. I am not making a prediction
in terms of the midterm. I'm just telling you that
there is way too much at stake for you to
sit out the election. And that, you know, while while
there may be Republicans that we don't love, that we
(09:30):
wish would fight harder and we all do and we
know who they are. The reality is there's no Republican
that is supporting this DSA agenda or sitting idly by
and silently by and not having the moral courage to
speak out, at least on that level. I don't think
it takes a lot of courage to speak out on
(09:52):
the DSA stated agenda on their website, even still. And
we are waiting for the day that they have to
take it down because they're going to realize that, well,
politically it's a liability and the polls are showing it.
And more importantly, they'll just adapt, adopt the strategy, which
is let's lie to people. You know, that was so
woke one point. Oh, crazy. We don't believe what we said.
(10:13):
And I don't believe they've changed for a minute. But
in the case of Al-Sayed claiming that Canada is, And
Canada's economist, you know, he's saying that Canada's economists say
Americans have a much higher standard of living and are
far more prosperous than Americans. It's on Yahoo Finance. You know,
this is a guy now that has been longing for
(10:34):
his home country of Egypt, where his father grew up
and went every summer to visit in the sense of
community he felt there. and then goes about, you know,
repeatedly trashing the country and hanging out with the guy
that said America deserved 9-11 and hates America, Hassan Piker,
his buddy. I mean, now, you know, after that, he
(10:54):
comes out and says, we find tapes of him saying,
you know, about America. He said, economic data shows us
that if you want to achieve the American dream, well,
you should move to Canada because it's twice as likely
to happen there. Now, you can have your opinion, but
your opinion is not necessarily factual. And in this case,
it's not factual. Because yesterday, we mentioned that Abdul El-Sayed
(11:19):
has been urging Americans to move to Canada. Why does
he even want to represent America if he thinks he
has a better community in Egypt and a better shot
at the American dream in Canada? Well, Canada pays the
lowest percentage of their GDP because their GDP is not
particularly high to begin with. Because they don't even have
a national defense like they once used to. Just like
(11:39):
Europe is disintegrating before our eyes, Western Europe. And they
have adopted radical socialism, climate alarmism, unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation.
I've gone through this repeatedly. And, you know, but for
Donald Trump, four more years of Biden-Harris-Mayorkas open borders, it's
probably game, set, match, and the country's over. In terms of,
(12:02):
we weren't vetting any of these people. Over 200 countries.
Countries with terror ties. And, you know, we know of
known terrorists that they led in the country. And murderers
and rapists and child molesters, other violent criminals. Anyway, so
Abdul Syed said that. Well, actually, economic data released just yesterday.
Timing is perfect. You know, by Canada's nonpartisan Fraser Institute
(12:25):
shows exactly the opposite of what Al Syed is claiming.
Their study shows Americans are far more economically successful than Canadians.
We have a higher standard of living. We are in
significantly higher incomes. We are far more prosperous than our
socialist Canadian neighbors to the north. And, you know. Yahoo
(12:46):
Finance goes on to quote them saying, squandering the Canadian
century part one, comparing the economic performance in Canada versus
the U.S. And it compares the economic outcomes in the
two countries by looking at living standards, incomes, employment, investment, productivity.
And in every category, Canada has fallen further behind the U.S.
(13:06):
over the first quarter century. And in 1999, GDP per
person was over $ 10, 000 higher in the U.S. That has increased,
by the way, to more than $ 23, 000, meaning the gap
in living standards between Canada and the U.S. has more
than doubled. And on every measure, America smokes Canada. You
(13:26):
want to live in Canada. Good luck with this single-payer
health care system. There's a reason that people will spend
their own money rather than go through that system to
get into the American health care system. It just is
it is beginning to get under my skin. It's beginning
to bother me. The fact that, you know, the narrative
(13:47):
in this country, this is where the information crisis is
so vital. And why why shows like this and and
shows like Kennedy on Fox and there are others. I
don't want to I'm going to forget a bunch of people.
They're going to get pissed. I'm not trying to do that.
And for those that are educating their audiences and telling
them the truth and not towing the abusively corrupt and
(14:09):
biased legacy media mob talking points of trashing Trump at
all costs, there is so much at stake in this election.
There really is. I just keep going back to, you know,
certain races. Troy Jackson, you know, the guy with this
accused of a violent temper. You know, one woman in
the state legislature that served with him said, yeah, he
(14:30):
threw a water bottle at her. Never mind the allegation,
specific allegation by somebody that says he witnessed an open
hand slap a woman. It's on tape. You can listen
for it yourself. We've played it enough on this program.
And then you got Abdul El-Sayed. And then you got
six-gendered Tallarico. And God is non-binary. And biological men should
(14:53):
play women's sports.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
And.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You know, trans people, including biological men, need access to abortion.
And a welcome mat at the southern border, you know,
wants to run a vegan campaign in a cattle state.
Wants no drilling and claims, you know, to be on
par with Jesus at times, seemingly. You know, and Jesus
was controversial, too. He was a radical. I think El-Sayed
(15:17):
said that. Now, we told you about this issue with
El-Sayed and, you know, saying he misses his home country
of Egypt. Well, there's nothing preventing him from going back
to his home country of Egypt. Nothing. I'm not preventing
him from going back if he loves it so much.
Why does he want to run in Michigan? What does
(15:38):
he think he's going to accomplish? Why doesn't he run
in Canada if he thinks that the American dream is
more achievable in Canada? There is an interesting take on
all of this that has emerged, though, and I thought
the New York Post captured it very well in their
editorial today. And that is that mainstream Democrats. are now
(16:00):
failing the Abdul El-Sayed test badly. They're flunking it. For starters,
the establishment seems to be buying the creepy Michigan Senate
candidate's pseudo-apology for his obscene justification back in March for
a crazed Islamist attempt to slaughter children at a suburban
(16:21):
Detroit Jewish day school. You know, hurt people hurt people.
El-Sayed smugly told Michigan Jewish people twice in a video
statement at the time, explaining that the perpetrator was upset.
It sounds like rationalization to me. The perpetrator was upset,
(16:42):
Ayman Ghazali, because his Hezbollah commander, a terrorist group, by
the way, brother got killed in an Israel airstrike on
a weapons depot. Well, they've been at war with Israel,
the Hezbollah, for a long time and funded by Iran.
(17:02):
So let's be real. You know, who's the victim? Who's
the victim on October 7th? And that's another thing. You
anti-Semites out there, you repulse me. You just do. I
find you repulsive. I find you dumb and ignorant and repulsive.
You know, Bibi Netanyahu dictates Donald Trump's policies. I've known
the man 30 years. Nobody dictates his policies. You know,
(17:27):
in the lead up to Midnight Hammer, Epic Fury, I
know for a fact Donald Trump talked to every single
person he could, listened to every opinion available, and he
does what he always does, and that's make up his
own mind. Trump doctrine, very clear in the first term,
wiped out ISIS, Soleimani, Baghdadi, dropped the mother of all
(17:48):
bombs on Afghanistan, and there are these, you know, pseudo,
you know, what do you call them? you know, woke right,
you know, white nationalist supporting, anti-Semite supporting. You know, what
would you expect America to do? Israel's a very small country.
They're under fire. I've been there many times. They're under
(18:10):
fire constantly. I've been there during conflict. Linda, you were
on one of those trips. You were on the tunnel trip,
if I recall. And I remember... When we were at Storot,
the border town with Gaza, which you can see with
the naked eye, takes 12 seconds for a rocket to
be fired out of Gaza into this small little town,
(18:31):
a border town, with a fence separating it from Gaza. And,
you know, you can see Gaza with the naked eye.
And if a rocket's fired, it takes 12 seconds for
that rocket to land in that town. When we went there,
it was 2015. Again, we've been to Israel many times.
When we went there, that town had previously been hit
in the last decade prior to our arrival with 10,000
(18:54):
rockets in 10 years. And I was stunned when I
saw that the children had to play in underground bunker playgrounds.
They couldn't play outside. They couldn't play in the sun
because there's not enough time if a rocket's fired for
them to escape. And sure enough, we went back to
that town the next day. And what had happened overnight?
(19:17):
They call it a kibbutz. A kibbutz is a neighborhood
that we would refer to as a neighborhood in the U.S.
And sure enough, a rocket was fired the night before.
It was in the middle of hostilities, and we were there.
We even had, at one point, I don't think I'm
underestimating it, about 100 yards from us, a rocket landed, and,
(19:38):
you know, we saw the big puff of smoke. That
was a little bit of a reality check, wouldn't you say, Linda,
at that one moment?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
There were a few moments like that on that trip, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
We went out with the IDF. These young men and
women were so, you know, remarkably courageous and brave, and
they're tough. I don't know. There's something about living with
the reality that you may not survive and that your
country's under a constant attack that just, it's a mind
shift that I don't think... you know, entitled young people
(20:10):
today could actually relate to. If, if that may, and
I'm not, I'm not attacking young people. We want to
save for war. We don't want, do we really want
to be in a state of war?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You know, this was the misconception of Lindsey Graham that
he wanted, he's a war monk. No, he doesn't want war.
I don't want war. I wish there was no evil
in this world. And then sure enough, we go down
in the underground tunnels and And it is sophisticated. It
turns out hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles of
(20:40):
tunnels they built out. Money designated for hospitals and schools
and infrastructure and, you know, things to make the lives
of the people in Gaza better. And it's wasted on
tunnels so that they can kill more, quote, Jews. And
that's what they were used for in the dark of
the night. Then October 7th happens. The population is under
(21:04):
9 million people. Not a very large population. It's a
small country, about the size of New Jersey. And that
country has been under fire forever. And then October 7th happens,
1,200 people killed, never mind those raped and kidnapped and beheaded,
because that's all on tape too, because I've seen it.
(21:26):
And the IDF does not want to release it publicly.
The families don't want their loved ones being seen that way,
even if you pixel out their faces publicly. And it's like,
people say, well, that would be the, if you compare
their population to ours, a little over 350 million last
time I checked, I don't know, off the top of
my head. And that would be like 40,000 dead Americans
(21:47):
in a day. What would you want America to do
if that happened to this country? I know what I'd
want our leadership to do, obliterate whoever did it. Full stop.
No questions. Hannity, you're a warmonger.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I believe in liberty and freedom that would be under attack.
And I'd want to defend it and defend our way
of life and not give in to radicalism and terrorism. Anyway,
so this guy Al-Sayed is, you know, he makes these comments. And,
you know, after this happens, you know, there's a justification
(22:25):
for this crazed, Islamists attempt to slaughter children at a
suburban Detroit Jewish day school. Her people, her people thinks
he's a genius, a wordsmith. And on Sunday, he expressed
some regret for those words, admitting that, that right after
the attacks was the wrong time, the wrong time to
(22:47):
be contextualizing the perps motives. That is, he still believes
the words were correct. And he, And the Jewish people
just weren't ready to hear it. They're being too specific
in listening to his words. They're taking it too literally.
(23:09):
He refuses to disavow Hassan Piker. You know, his toxic,
as the New York Post put it rightly, anti-Americanism, overt
hatred of, I take it as hatred. How do you
blame America for 9-11? Unbelievable. Unbelievable. You know, El-Sayed regularly
had Piker stumping for him. Piker was on, I guess,
(23:30):
with Charlemagne the God and said, no, I was asked
to go on the campaign trail. I'd never done that before.
He was asked by El-Sayed, his buddy. Top Democrats, where's
Chuck Schumer? They sit by as El-Sayed worms out of
his ugly record, just like they did with Graham Platner,
just like they're doing with his temper-filled temper tantrum replacement,
(23:53):
Graham Platner 2.0, Troy Jackson. as they ignore the insanity
of six-gender Telerico, God is non-binary Telerico, a welcome mat
at the border, open border Telerico. I mean, it's insane.
I've gone through all this. This is a prescription for
ruining the country. And this is, you know, for as
(24:17):
weak as some Republicans are, and Linda and I have
been debating this privately, maybe we'll bring it on the
air later, you know, she thinks it's a uniparty. I'm
not going to speak for I'll let her speak later.
And I'm like, no, because there's no Republican that believes this. Yes,
there are weak Republicans, but they're not supporting this, this
absolute madness and insanity. I don't know one. And to
(24:42):
their credit, they're speaking out against it. Can they be
stronger on the same act? Hell yeah. I wish they would.
I wish they had Trump's backbone of steel. I wish
they did. Um, town hall had a piece. We found
every nine 11 tweet. El Syed didn't want you to see,
you know, why is it? Do you think fake news
(25:03):
CNN is going to go through all of this? I
don't think so. Anybody on ABC, NBC, CBN, they're going
to go through this. I don't think so. I don't
think any of it's happening. You know, it is, it
is unbelievable. Unbelievable. You know, El-Sayed's deleted tweets about 9-11
and the attacks over the years, the best part is
he's tried to turn the deadliest terror attack into this
(25:25):
both sides argument, saying 9-11 was awful, but our justified
war against terrorism, a long campaign of self-defense, was somehow
equally atrocious. What were we supposed to do for the
2,977 dead Americans 25 years ago? What are we supposed
(25:46):
to take it and put a smile on our face
and just say, well, it's justifiable? No. There is evil
in this world. By ignoring evil in the last century,
and that means Mao, you know, Assam Piker likes to
dress up as Mao. Weird. Mao killed tens of millions. Stalin,
(26:12):
same thing. In Russia, communism. You know, the same thing, Hitler, Germany, Nazism, Mussolini, fascism, Tojo, Japan,
Pol Pot, the killing fields. In the last century, the
estimate is over 100 million dead human souls in the
(26:32):
name of some ism. And we're not going to fight
back against it. We're just going to take it and
we're going to be good people. And we're just not
going to respond in kind.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Abdul El-Sayed, the fact U.S. government continues to pit the
Afghan people against 9-11 families is appalling. All are victims,
he said. The hypocrisy of the U.S. war on terror. Wow.
Blaming us. Defending America should never have meant responding to
tribalistic grievance with tribalistic grievance.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It should be meant by embracing the ideals that transcend it.
I mourn the 3,000 lives, the 6,000 injuries. Tomorrow, I'll
mourn the one million lives of injuries and infrastructure devastation
in three countries. COVID-19 has taken over 3,000 American lives,
more than 9-11. This guy is dangerous. Tallarico is dangerous.
(27:31):
Troy Jackson is dangerous. This DSA movement is dangerous. And
you got 62 days until Election Day. What are you
going to do about it? Because if you don't get
yourself and motivate yourself and do your part, then we're
going to get the worst government we ever dreamed of.
And America, as we know it, risks never being the
(27:53):
same again. That's overstating the case, Hannity. I don't think so.
