Free Speech on Trial: A Conversation on Human Rights With Evan Turk
When does free speech become a human rights issue, and how should we respond when the public demands answers?
In this episode, Adrienne Barker hosts attorney Evan W. Turk, guiding a live conversation streamed across Chatter Social and Debate The News with Jonathan Bing. Evan W. Turk is the Founding Attorney of Turk Law Group, former attorney to President Donald J. Trump, and CEO of the American Rights Alliance.
What began as a discussion about free speech through a human rights lens expanded quickly as the live audience raised questions about government transparency, accountability, unresolved public controversies, and the emotional impact of information gaps. Listeners pressed Evan on issues including institutional trust, the role of public figures, and widely discussed topics such as the Epstein files.
Evan responded by addressing intent versus impact, responsibility when speaking publicly, and how speculation grows when facts remain unclear. Adrienne moderated the room by grounding the conversation in responsible communication, clarity, and the importance of restraint when navigating sensitive or emotionally charged questions.
This episode reflects a dynamic, real-time exchange shaped by Evan’s legal perspective, Adrienne’s steady moderation, and a highly engaged audience across ten platforms.

00:04:06.330 --> 00:04:08.669
information that I put in the stream. But Evan,
00:04:08.750 --> 00:04:10.650

So Evan Turk, welcome to Adrian Barker Speaks.
00:04:35.819 --> 00:04:37.939
Thank you for your patience. First of all, I
00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:43.779
really appreciate it. So who are you? It's a
00:04:43.779 --> 00:04:45.839
good question. I'm trying to figure that out
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:51.279
myself. I'm an attorney. I run a law firm called
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.360
Turk Law Group. I also am into philanthropy.
00:04:57.230 --> 00:05:01.930
also served as the CEO and founder of a civil
00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:09.110
liberties 501c3, namely the American Rights Alliance,
00:05:09.529 --> 00:05:14.110
which is combating a lot of national issues with
00:05:14.110 --> 00:05:17.430
people who are falsely imprisoned and others
00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:22.910
who are fearful of speaking out. in a society
00:05:22.910 --> 00:05:27.110
right now that has evolved to or devolved in
00:05:27.110 --> 00:05:30.170
some ways. And I'm just trying to protect people's
00:05:30.170 --> 00:05:33.329
civil liberties. It's founded by our principles
00:05:33.329 --> 00:05:38.029
in the U .S. Constitution. So, Attorney Turk,
00:05:38.310 --> 00:05:40.730
I want to introduce you, if Jonathan Bing is
00:05:40.730 --> 00:05:43.430
available, we're actually live in a room, a very
00:05:43.430 --> 00:05:47.189
special room called Debate the News. And Jonathan
00:05:47.189 --> 00:05:49.529
Bing is the owner and the creator. Jonathan,
00:05:49.550 --> 00:05:54.930
are you available? Yes, I am, actually. I just
00:05:54.930 --> 00:05:57.430
want to make sure that you both meet. So Attorney
00:05:57.430 --> 00:06:00.990
Turk, please meet Jonathan Bing. Hi, Jonathan.
00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:03.589
Pleasure to meet you. Pleasure to meet you. Pleasure
00:06:03.589 --> 00:06:07.009
to meet you. So I am totally open if anyone wants
00:06:07.009 --> 00:06:09.970
to ask any questions. Let's go a little deeper
00:06:09.970 --> 00:06:11.850
into what you were talking about as you're saying
00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:15.790
about the civil rights. Can we get an example
00:06:15.790 --> 00:06:19.170
of what that really looks like so I can understand?
00:06:20.949 --> 00:06:24.959
Absolutely. We have a woman by the name of Tina
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.220
Peters is one of our clients who is in jail right
00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:34.199
now. She was a head of county supervisor elections
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.879
that during a 2020 election, they asked her to
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.379
destroy data, which would have breached the federal
00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:47.209
law election law. And in the state of Colorado,
00:06:47.470 --> 00:06:50.189
they demanded that she did it. She backed up
00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:54.389
the information with a whistleblower. And now
00:06:54.389 --> 00:06:57.250
she's faced and she's in jail with an eight year
00:06:57.250 --> 00:07:01.670
sentence. So we're trying to get her out of jail.
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.939
This is completely unconstitutional. Somebody
00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:09.779
who is trying to protect election integrity shouldn't
00:07:09.779 --> 00:07:12.879
have an eight year sentence. Should have no sentence
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.319
whatsoever. 76 year old woman with no prior criminal
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.259
history whatsoever. We have a ton of people who
00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:24.060
have been weaponized because they've been outspoken
00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:26.699
and now they're either serving time in prison
00:07:26.699 --> 00:07:34.279
or have civil action. civil warfare, political
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.759
warfare against them. We have a lot of national
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.339
cases on that. We're doing a lot of pardon work.
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.980
We just got a pardon from somebody after the
00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:47.139
president gave everyone in January six a pardon.
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.519
This one judge decided that that wasn't appropriate
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.180
and put him back into jail. So we got a full
00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:57.800
presidential pardon two weeks ago. We're just
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.180
doing a little of everything. We're not a political
00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:02.720
organization. We are here to help people based
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.980
on a constitutional principles. And what we're
00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:08.740
seeing here right now is just unconscionable.
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.519
And we are here to combat freedom of speech,
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.959
to protect freedom speech, combat anyone who
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.800
is opposed to it. We have no society without.
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.740
that freedom of speech without that we can't
00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:27.839
be free to do what we need to do to make grievances
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.860
to the government to speak out for what we passionately
00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:33.700
agree with and even though we may not agree with
00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:36.860
everybody we also try to protect those freedoms
00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:39.940
of speech so that they can say it just like you
00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:44.259
and i can say what we want to say i can say anything
00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:47.779
but not there's a bomb in the airport you'll
00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:51.309
be surprised well I wish it was that easy, but
00:08:51.309 --> 00:08:54.350
not anymore. We're seeing people who have been
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:57.070
weaponized, criminalized by a weaponized system.
00:08:57.610 --> 00:09:01.870
So it's just really, really incredible. And you
00:09:01.870 --> 00:09:04.190
see countries like England, there are people
00:09:04.190 --> 00:09:06.490
that don't have freedom of speech on social media,
00:09:06.830 --> 00:09:09.789
Canada as well. If we don't fight it, it's coming
00:09:09.789 --> 00:09:13.990
here next. So, you know, we can't just take these
00:09:13.990 --> 00:09:16.610
freedoms lightly because they're slowly taken
00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:22.370
away from us. Thank you, Attorney Turk. So explain
00:09:22.370 --> 00:09:25.669
to the audience that's listening regarding, I
00:09:25.669 --> 00:09:28.389
saw President Trump's name in your bio and then
00:09:28.389 --> 00:09:31.570
I saw Donald Trump Jr.'s names just so that we
00:09:31.570 --> 00:09:35.090
can understand where they fit in or that you
00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:37.590
were attorney with them. If you could share that
00:09:37.590 --> 00:09:40.409
just so that I understand it and the group understands
00:09:40.409 --> 00:09:46.379
it. I work with an attorney named Peter Tickton.
00:09:46.539 --> 00:09:50.700
Peter Tickton has been practicing law for over
00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:53.360
50 years. He went to military school, high school,
00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:57.080
with the president. So Peter says he's his oldest
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.379
friend. I said, that's because you are his oldest
00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:03.580
friend. He's known you since high school. We
00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:07.639
were able to help and represent the president
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:12.240
through Alina Habba, who appointed Peter as local
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.480
council. So we've done a lot of things and now
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.340
with the help of Donald Trump Jr. and others,
00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:23.259
we are able to form this organization in a way
00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:26.240
and run this organization in a way that is very
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.580
helpful to spreading the message and to really
00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:35.700
get What we really need to protect protected
00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:38.720
so that we have a country to give to our next
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.080
generation. And I keep saying this is not a political
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.440
organization. It's not you don't have to have
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.440
a Trump philosophy or a conservative Republican
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.159
philosophy. You have to have an American philosophy
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:55.100
and understanding of what the Constitution meant,
00:10:55.539 --> 00:10:59.019
what it means and why it's worthy of being protected.
00:11:01.490 --> 00:11:05.429
So Attorney Turk, as I said, we're live on Chatter
00:11:05.429 --> 00:11:08.470
Social and Jonathan Bing is the owner and the
00:11:08.470 --> 00:11:11.250
creator of Debate the News. And part of what
00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:14.409
he does is really allowing us and giving us a
00:11:14.409 --> 00:11:17.970
voice for those that come in to debate. Lovely.
00:11:18.210 --> 00:11:22.289
And we have both sides coming in. I'm not the
00:11:22.289 --> 00:11:25.409
greatest when it comes to these kind of conversations,
00:11:25.549 --> 00:11:28.559
but my first question is really, Is someone finding
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.240
you or are you seeing a story on the news and
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.200
saying, oh, this is someone that we can help?
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:38.659
How does the initial contact work? People are
00:11:38.659 --> 00:11:43.320
finding us. We do a show on a network, a national
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.960
network called Real America's Voice. It's called
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:51.740
A Case for America. We air that every Saturday
00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:54.860
at four o 'clock. It's an hour show where we
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.600
overview the cases that we're highlighting that
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:03.759
are pretty much unconscionable. So that audience
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:08.379
finds us. I would imagine there's quite a bit
00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:13.179
of people that watch that show and we're never
00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:16.580
short of work. Unfortunately, there's so much
00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:22.240
problems that are out there that We can never
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.080
stop seven days a week. So, um, you know, we're
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.059
not marketing ourselves. Uh, I guess, you know,
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.580
talking about being on a podcast, I guess this
00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:35.440
is marketing the charity. And one of the reasons
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.019
why, why I do it, but, um, you know, we're not
00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:45.440
readily marketing ourselves. The cases find us.
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:49.740
Got it. Got it. Had there been more cases in
00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:54.679
the past, let's say, five years? I mean, our
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.120
charity has been around for a couple of years
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:02.600
now. So we really started out to help people
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:07.259
in January 6. If really you understood or in
00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:09.220
the audience understood what truly happened,
00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:13.700
I think most people would be shocked. because
00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:16.279
it's not what you heard on mainstream media.
00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:21.440
So that's where we started, but we've evolved
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.879
and we're representing all types of cases, all
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.000
types of people on both sides of the political
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.820
aisle. What we're really trying to do is keep
00:13:29.820 --> 00:13:36.590
America principled in its values. based on the
00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:39.070
U .S. Constitution. I keep saying that, but it's
00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:44.090
really our core mission is we have this amazing
00:13:44.090 --> 00:13:48.070
freedom, but it's being taken away from us and
00:13:48.070 --> 00:13:52.690
it's scary. We have people who, one case they
00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:55.830
were working on, over a billion dollars of his
00:13:55.830 --> 00:13:58.470
hard -earned business assets were taken and it
00:13:58.470 --> 00:14:00.649
went up to the Supreme Court and the Supreme
00:14:00.649 --> 00:14:03.549
Court released those assets and then they took
00:14:03.549 --> 00:14:06.570
it under another false pretense. And this guy
00:14:06.570 --> 00:14:08.809
can't really fight because he's in jail with
00:14:08.809 --> 00:14:14.970
no assets. It's anti -capitalism, it's anti -America.
00:14:15.269 --> 00:14:19.389
And we all have this American dream and still
00:14:19.389 --> 00:14:22.669
this is the best country to make it. But we shouldn't
00:14:22.669 --> 00:14:28.549
fear becoming successful and having imprisonment
00:14:28.549 --> 00:14:32.220
as an outcome for being a capitalist. I mean,
00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:36.840
it's not. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I was going to.
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.679
Sorry, sorry, attorney Turk. Finish what you're
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.100
saying and then Jonathan B would like to come
00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:44.399
in. Oh, Jonathan. No, Jonathan. I could talk
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.480
forever, so please interrupt. Ask me a question.
00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:51.580
OK, no, you said this. The country is devolving
00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:57.320
and you're opening statements. Can you give us
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.299
a bit more information on how this country is
00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:04.799
devolving? Yeah, we're freedom of speech is no
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:09.919
longer as free as it once was. We have media
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.379
that if you say anything, you're going to be
00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:17.940
taken off a platform. You have take the 2016
00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:25.139
election where or 2020 election where the New
00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:31.259
York Post had evidence to support. Hunter Biden's
00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:36.600
laptop and the Department of Justice basically
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.419
eliminated that from happening and calling it
00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:44.580
false news and anyone who actually reported it
00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:48.480
on any social media platform was deplatformed.
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:53.700
mean that that's incredibly incredibly political
00:15:53.700 --> 00:15:59.279
anti -american anti -constitution anti the constitution
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.139
against everything that we we believe in and
00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:05.000
oh by the way we found out that that information
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:34.919
was true it was accurate and they knew it but
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.000
you couldn't I can't answer a question when you
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.879
just made a blanket statement that I have no
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.659
idea what you're saying. So, John, then please.
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.639
No, there's two. There's two. But what I'm saying
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.299
is that laptop that we did not ever find out
00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:51.700
that everything on there was true. We know a
00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:54.700
lot of stuff was AI generated on there. No, we
00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:57.940
don't. We don't. We don't. Actually, the proof
00:16:57.940 --> 00:17:02.519
do you have proof? What proof that you had that
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.640
everything on a laptop was true? The Department
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:07.759
of Justice came clean with it and said it was
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.759
true and it was accurate and they retracted with
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.299
the part I mean which was departmental justice
00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:15.880
Let me share with you and this is the problem
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.400
and I you're entitled to your freedom of speech
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:30.730
Jonathan really are but I'm sorry. All I'm doing
00:17:30.730 --> 00:17:33.509
is looking at myself here, so I don't see anybody
00:17:33.509 --> 00:17:36.589
or I don't know anyone I'm speaking with. But
00:17:36.589 --> 00:17:38.990
let's scratch the laptop because there's neither
00:17:38.990 --> 00:17:41.349
here nor there, right? Let's talk about what's
00:17:41.349 --> 00:17:43.250
going on right now in this country. How do you
00:17:43.250 --> 00:17:47.329
feel about the Epstein files and the cover -up
00:17:47.329 --> 00:17:50.750
that's going on with these things? I think it's
00:17:50.750 --> 00:17:54.200
crazy. I don't understand it at all. I don't
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.019
understand why the information is not being released
00:17:57.019 --> 00:18:00.000
now. And I don't understand why it wasn't released
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.180
under the prior administration. Well, we know
00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:08.119
why it wasn't released under the prior administration
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.079
because it was appeals going on. And you can't
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.000
release that stuff during an appeal because it
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.539
could hurt the case or whatever. But right now,
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.759
while Trump had the ability, just say Biden could
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.250
have did it. Okay. He was wrong for not doing
00:18:22.250 --> 00:18:25.369
it. Trump got the ability, him and his DOJ got
00:18:25.369 --> 00:18:28.569
the ability to make it right. Why are they fighting
00:18:28.569 --> 00:18:30.910
tooth and nail to keep this stuff from being
00:18:30.910 --> 00:18:32.829
released? Do you think they're covering up for
00:18:32.829 --> 00:18:35.269
other people or Trump is covering up for himself?
00:18:36.470 --> 00:18:38.589
I don't think Trump is covering up for anybody.
00:18:38.750 --> 00:18:41.329
He told everybody release the information. I
00:18:41.329 --> 00:18:43.529
don't know why the people in Congress are fighting
00:18:43.529 --> 00:18:46.789
it tooth and nail. I mean, you know, there are
00:18:46.789 --> 00:18:49.769
certain congressmen, whether they're Republicans
00:18:49.769 --> 00:18:52.670
or Democrats. I mean, some happen to be Republicans
00:18:52.670 --> 00:18:56.049
and, you know, makes you question all of that.
00:18:56.549 --> 00:18:59.529
I, you know, I'm not here to support what happens
00:18:59.529 --> 00:19:02.589
to the Epstein case. And I'm not here to be political
00:19:02.589 --> 00:19:06.690
and say, you know what, if this looks bad against
00:19:06.690 --> 00:19:09.529
one side, then let's let's have a different answer
00:19:09.529 --> 00:19:12.680
than if it looks bad to the other side. I'm trying
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.240
to be apolitical here. I do not know why the
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.180
Epstein file hasn't been completely released
00:19:17.180 --> 00:19:19.799
and it scares me and it shocks me and that's
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.759
what we do as a charity. We have a right to get
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.220
information, right? We have a right to know what's
00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:29.539
going on. And at the highest levels, why isn't
00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:33.799
that information? Being released what why why
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.480
since we know certain people that were there
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.220
on the Epstein plane take Bill Clinton was there.
00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:47.339
27 times I believe why. Donald Trump is a Donald
00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:48.960
Trump when it seemed like him and Donald Trump
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.599
really close friends at one point but my thing
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.420
is it was all Epstein and Donald Trump they're
00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:56.799
really close friends Epstein was at his wedding.
00:19:57.309 --> 00:19:59.490
And it seemed like they were very fond of each
00:19:59.490 --> 00:20:02.529
other at one point. One thing is it was all Republicans
00:20:02.529 --> 00:20:06.230
that was fighting against it. 100 % of the Democrats
00:20:06.230 --> 00:20:12.269
voted to release them. But I think only four
00:20:12.269 --> 00:20:14.710
Republicans voted to release it. The other ones
00:20:14.710 --> 00:20:17.369
didn't? No, I think four voted. That's a red
00:20:17.369 --> 00:20:21.089
flag, right? no i think four voted to not release
00:20:21.089 --> 00:20:24.789
them and the rest did and uh no no no no no no
00:20:24.789 --> 00:20:26.269
no no absolutely hold on hold on like you told
00:20:26.269 --> 00:20:28.430
me we can't can't just run past that point it
00:20:28.430 --> 00:20:32.029
was only four thing marjorie taylor you know
00:20:32.029 --> 00:20:34.329
marjorie taylor green was the leading that effort
00:20:34.329 --> 00:20:36.589
and she couldn't get one more i think they needed
00:20:36.589 --> 00:20:39.089
five and she could only get four if they would
00:20:39.089 --> 00:20:41.869
have got five it could have been released my
00:20:41.869 --> 00:20:49.549
numbers might be off by one or two How many Republicans
00:20:49.549 --> 00:20:55.430
blocked the Epstein files? If I can jump in,
00:20:55.609 --> 00:20:58.269
if you recall, the reason that the House was
00:20:58.269 --> 00:21:01.509
out of session was because Michael Johnson, Mike
00:21:01.509 --> 00:21:04.150
Johnson, Michael Johnson kept them out because
00:21:04.150 --> 00:21:07.509
that gave the final vote that was needed in order
00:21:07.509 --> 00:21:12.289
to go ahead and have the vote. So that definitely
00:21:12.289 --> 00:21:14.769
is incorrect. And he's correct. There was only
00:21:14.769 --> 00:21:17.380
four so far Republicans. supporting that bill
00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:20.660
initially until Trump finally felt he had nowhere
00:21:20.660 --> 00:21:23.440
to go. And he said, Hey, you know what? Go ahead
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.079
and vote for it. So he's absolutely 100 % correct
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.460
in that assertion. Also, you know, you did make
00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:34.839
this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're saying 100%.
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.539
This is this is the problem we have when we discuss
00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:41.640
these things. Somebody says it's 100 % correct.
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.440
Therefore, it's 100 % correct without fact checking
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.920
it and without knowing what the truth is. So
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.000
I can't just allow that to happen without fact
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.039
checking it. Because I don't think it's really
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.759
accurate. We completely talk about this every
00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.680
day. It only take you like 10 seconds to fact
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.160
check it. I'm fact checking it now. It's taking
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.670
more than 10 seconds. And that's... Not true.
00:22:06.109 --> 00:22:09.349
Over 300 unique instances, but no single tally
00:22:09.349 --> 00:22:14.569
exceeds 211 House votes to block it. Who blocked
00:22:14.569 --> 00:22:17.410
it? Democrats and Republicans. Democrats pushed
00:22:17.410 --> 00:22:19.490
hardest for release, but held minority status
00:22:19.490 --> 00:22:23.450
so they couldn't force votes. So some ex -posts
00:22:23.450 --> 00:22:25.990
claim Democrats block Republican efforts, but
00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:28.789
evidence shows... GOP majorities control the
00:22:28.789 --> 00:22:31.430
blocks in Congress. Current status, with the
00:22:31.430 --> 00:22:34.529
bill signed, I mean, I don't see four people,
00:22:35.410 --> 00:22:37.549
a majority, with the bill signed, full release
00:22:37.549 --> 00:22:40.269
is imminent. Partial docs already show Epstein
00:22:40.269 --> 00:22:43.710
ties to figure across parties. For example, Bill
00:22:43.710 --> 00:22:46.970
Clinton mentioned 50 times, but now no new charges.
00:22:47.529 --> 00:22:50.109
No evidence implicates Trump in crimes despite
00:22:50.109 --> 00:22:53.980
speculation. I mean, so... Lot of what we were
00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:56.579
just discussing is not factual It's what what
00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:59.160
what media site you hear and how the news you
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:09.079
want to hear it to be disclosed? I don't see
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:18.380
four people all but four people I can't remember
00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:20.059
the three, I'll get the names in a minute, but
00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:22.259
early on, that's why she was showing up right
00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:24.519
before, right before Charlie Kirk got killed.
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:26.960
She was leading the way she could, if they would
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.380
have got five Republicans, it would have had
00:23:29.380 --> 00:23:31.119
enough votes to release them. They could only
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:33.279
get four. They couldn't get that one person.
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.859
And then, hold on one second. And then when they
00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:39.900
got the, I can't remember the woman name. She
00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:43.970
won and Mike Johnson. In arizona, she refused
00:23:43.970 --> 00:23:46.509
to swear in because her vote would have gotten
00:23:46.509 --> 00:23:49.190
them released and he would he went weeks without
00:23:49.190 --> 00:23:53.309
swearing her in And he uh, and it went through
00:23:53.309 --> 00:23:55.849
the shutdown and they finally I don't know. I
00:23:55.849 --> 00:23:57.569
don't know. I don't know what you're talking
00:23:57.569 --> 00:24:12.009
about. I don't know who he is Let's not talk
00:24:12.009 --> 00:24:14.910
over each other. Attorney Turk is a guest of
00:24:14.910 --> 00:24:17.269
mine on Adrian Barker Speaks. We're live on the
00:24:17.269 --> 00:24:20.029
podcast, and we are streaming out to about 10
00:24:20.029 --> 00:24:24.089
locations. So just when you speak, just let it
00:24:24.089 --> 00:24:26.210
be a conversation. We won't talk over each other.
00:24:26.309 --> 00:24:28.950
And then introduce yourself too. Two's name is
00:24:28.950 --> 00:24:31.430
actually T -O -O. That's how he goes with this
00:24:31.430 --> 00:24:35.569
app, and we all love him. And I'm not even sure,
00:24:35.569 --> 00:24:39.700
too, if you were here when Evan Turk. the attorney
00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:42.299
introduced himself and what he actually does.
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.299
So finish the conversation and then Evan maybe
00:24:45.299 --> 00:24:47.559
we could just do a quick reset so you can share.
00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:50.039
I didn't know what type of I don't know what
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.059
type of this I'm good about. I don't know but
00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:56.160
one way I go 100 % or none at all I'm sorry I
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.880
didn't know this has been broadcast out. No,
00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:01.599
no, no. We love your passion. I think that's
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.259
great. And I think Attorney Turk doesn't mind.
00:25:04.380 --> 00:25:07.359
It's just it can be confusing sometimes. But
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.039
Jonathan, did you have other questions regarding
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:16.579
exactly what Attorney Turk actually does? No,
00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:21.079
not at all. It's clear. And the truth can be
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:24.059
confusing at times. And I get it. So I'm going
00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:27.380
to meet up a little bit as well. So Attorney
00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:31.819
Turk. You're on the podcast, and I'm so thrilled
00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:34.599
that you said yes. I usually do business podcasts,
00:25:34.619 --> 00:25:38.380
so I don't really talk politics. On DTN, it's
00:25:38.380 --> 00:25:41.160
very rare that I speak up. But my question to
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.440
you is, so you're on the podcast. What are you
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.339
hoping to achieve? What is our goal? How can
00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:51.259
we help you? I'd just like to get our name out
00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:54.299
there. I don't mind having debates with anybody.
00:25:54.890 --> 00:25:57.369
As long as it's respectful, I don't want to be
00:25:57.369 --> 00:26:01.069
disrespectful to anyone else. And I like to really
00:26:01.069 --> 00:26:03.970
learn about other opinions because we all can
00:26:03.970 --> 00:26:06.650
be wrong, right? But to answer your question
00:26:06.650 --> 00:26:14.029
is I just want to open the charity up to all
00:26:14.029 --> 00:26:19.250
people of all different opinions because we're
00:26:19.250 --> 00:26:24.700
not a conservative. or Republican -driven 501c3,
00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:27.059
we're not political, we're apolitical. We're
00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:31.339
just trying to protect what I think all of us
00:26:31.339 --> 00:26:33.640
could agree on is the First Amendment, the freedom
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.460
of speech. Shouldn't be based upon just what
00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:39.900
you agree with, but it should be, you know, most
00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:42.980
protected and the things that you disagree most
00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:45.700
with. Because if we don't have an open discourse
00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:48.740
and a public discourse of conversation, then
00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:51.670
we no longer have a free country. And we don't
00:26:51.670 --> 00:26:56.529
have a country which has stood the test of time
00:26:56.529 --> 00:26:59.450
since the beginning, but free speech also allows
00:26:59.450 --> 00:27:02.289
us to evolve to get rid of things that we were
00:27:02.289 --> 00:27:05.769
against. But the thing that we should never ever
00:27:05.769 --> 00:27:08.650
take away is our ability to address our opinions,
00:27:08.750 --> 00:27:12.349
even if we're wrong. I love that Attorney Turk.
00:27:12.509 --> 00:27:14.529
And I think you would actually enjoy the room,
00:27:14.910 --> 00:27:17.410
the debate, the news, ChatterSocial. So we're
00:27:17.410 --> 00:27:20.670
live on ChatterSocial. I'll send you the link
00:27:20.670 --> 00:27:25.569
for the listeners, C -H -A -T -T -E -R, social.
00:27:25.690 --> 00:27:29.190
You can find it in your app store. You can look
00:27:29.190 --> 00:27:31.690
for the website chattersocial .io. And that's
00:27:31.690 --> 00:27:34.769
exactly what we do every single night is really
00:27:34.769 --> 00:27:38.759
have some fantastic discussions. So how are you
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.940
raising the funds for this 501c3? Getting the
00:27:42.940 --> 00:27:46.039
word out. We have certain donors that are really
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:52.039
generous, have been considerate. And we also,
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.299
on each of the cases that we have been working
00:27:55.299 --> 00:28:00.359
on, that we raised money. We're blessed to have
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.880
people write articles about us, and that brings
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:10.089
attention to it. We also do fundraisers, calls,
00:28:11.329 --> 00:28:14.789
networks, you name it, we're doing it because
00:28:14.789 --> 00:28:18.049
when you have somebody who's behind bars or somebody
00:28:18.049 --> 00:28:24.490
who you would be amazed that they're being either
00:28:24.490 --> 00:28:27.069
criminalized for something that's not criminal
00:28:27.069 --> 00:28:31.250
whatsoever or their first amendment rights are
00:28:31.250 --> 00:28:35.559
being taken away and they can't speak up. You
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:37.519
know, it gets really expensive when you need
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:42.539
to hire legal representation, but It is critically
00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:48.579
important So what we do, you know Go ahead Jonathan
00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:52.960
No, I agree with him freedom of speech should
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.019
never ever ever be That that's the right that's
00:28:56.019 --> 00:28:57.799
in the Constitution. I think freedom of speech
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:02.660
leads to is that cornerstone of all of all of
00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:04.480
our rights, especially in that First Amendment
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.980
freedom to assemble protests and all that other
00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:09.559
stuff that comes along with freedom of the press.
00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:13.339
All that. But so with that being said, how do
00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:16.980
you feel about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel?
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:21.740
See, I don't like the fact. I mean, I think what
00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:25.210
Jimmy Kimmel said was despicable. But i don't
00:29:25.210 --> 00:29:27.450
think you should have been taken off his platform
00:29:27.450 --> 00:29:31.829
and that's really what we are here to protect
00:29:31.829 --> 00:29:34.569
and i mean i may not be the biggest jimmy kimmel
00:29:34.569 --> 00:29:39.990
fan i know i knew charlie kirk personally i was
00:29:39.990 --> 00:29:43.650
on the board of turning port turning point us
00:29:43.650 --> 00:29:47.210
a. Charlie would give me calls asking me for
00:29:47.210 --> 00:29:49.769
advice from time to time, which was amazing because
00:29:49.769 --> 00:29:53.750
this guy was 17 years younger than me and I looked
00:29:53.750 --> 00:29:57.390
up to him. So, you know, I have skin in the game
00:29:57.390 --> 00:30:01.289
because I knew Charlie on a personal level, but
00:30:01.289 --> 00:30:05.309
I don't think that Jimmy Kimmel, although what
00:30:05.309 --> 00:30:09.789
he said was completely inappropriate. What exactly?
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.539
what exactly is inappropriate? He just said that
00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:15.519
Donald, he played a clip where Donald Trump started
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.980
talking about, speaking about something else,
00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:22.559
the building, and you know, over there. He didn't
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.559
speak, in fact, he actually condemned the violence,
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:31.759
and he actually sent his condolences and everything
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:36.220
to the Kirk family. And all he did was use a
00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:39.170
video of Trump, showing Trump. You know, when
00:30:39.170 --> 00:30:41.730
a reporter asked about Charlie Kirk and Charlie
00:30:41.730 --> 00:30:45.049
Trump, uh, analogy briefly and then started speaking
00:30:45.049 --> 00:30:47.329
about something else. What was despicable about
00:30:47.329 --> 00:30:50.890
that? He didn't say anything despicable. He was
00:30:50.890 --> 00:30:56.650
blaming the MAGA movement for the cause of the
00:30:56.650 --> 00:30:59.369
assassination. That was one of them. That's incorrect.
00:31:00.069 --> 00:31:05.009
That doesn't correct. It did not. Yeah, I'll
00:31:05.009 --> 00:31:06.809
get it. What did Jimmy Kimmel? I'll write right
00:31:06.809 --> 00:31:10.990
now. What did Jimmy Kimmel say? Rather than argue,
00:31:10.990 --> 00:31:13.170
we could get this information really quickly.
00:31:13.269 --> 00:31:18.390
Kimmel say about Charlie Kirk. Yeah, we're not
00:31:18.390 --> 00:31:20.710
arguing. We're having a discussion. No, I understand
00:31:20.710 --> 00:31:23.029
that. But I want to get facts are important because
00:31:23.029 --> 00:31:27.589
when people say that didn't happen, the listening
00:31:27.589 --> 00:31:30.029
audience is not going to really understand what
00:31:30.029 --> 00:31:34.809
what happened. He said it was on how Trump's
00:31:34.809 --> 00:31:38.230
allies allegedly exploited the tragedy for political
00:31:38.230 --> 00:31:40.569
gain. He later defended them as intentionally
00:31:40.569 --> 00:31:42.970
and maliciously mixed character, characterized
00:31:42.970 --> 00:31:46.049
by critics. You also said, hold on a second.
00:31:46.950 --> 00:31:48.869
We're talking about, you're talking about, I'm
00:31:48.869 --> 00:31:50.769
talking about an incident that led up to that.
00:31:51.289 --> 00:31:53.190
Because he said plenty about it afterwards. He
00:31:53.190 --> 00:31:55.509
said plenty about the right after that. after
00:31:55.509 --> 00:31:58.450
they led the attack on him. But what did he say
00:31:58.450 --> 00:32:02.150
in that moment to cause the outrage? Facts matter,
00:32:02.450 --> 00:32:05.109
right? And context matters as well. Exactly.
00:32:05.369 --> 00:32:08.069
I agree with both of those statements. And one
00:32:08.069 --> 00:32:10.470
second. Guys, Adrian said that we're allowed
00:32:10.470 --> 00:32:12.069
to ask questions. If anyone else wants to jump
00:32:12.069 --> 00:32:16.059
in and ask a question, please. I do. I found
00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:19.880
it interesting. I was reading an article this
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.519
afternoon. It talked about a guy from Turning
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.619
Point saying that every new attack aimed at a
00:32:25.619 --> 00:32:30.559
Pete Hecht set makes me want another narco drug
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.000
boat blown up and sent to the bottom of the ocean.
00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:41.779
Go ahead. All right. So let me stop because I
00:32:41.779 --> 00:32:46.410
think that That type of statements is completely
00:32:46.410 --> 00:32:51.690
deplorable and it's just something that I don't,
00:32:51.690 --> 00:32:53.930
I don't understand why people open their mouth.
00:32:55.049 --> 00:32:58.710
Let me just get back, let me get back to what
00:32:58.710 --> 00:32:59.970
was said. Wait, wait, wait, let me finish it.
00:33:00.210 --> 00:33:03.549
Can I finish my, just my statement says that
00:33:03.549 --> 00:33:07.970
Turning Point USA spokesman, Andrew Calvet posted
00:33:07.970 --> 00:33:15.099
that Thursday on X. when is free speech okay
00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:19.700
and when is it not? When we talk about the rhetoric
00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:23.460
that was said about Kimmel, it was nowhere near
00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:27.619
what this guy just said from turning point. An
00:33:27.619 --> 00:33:29.700
official from turning point said that and has
00:33:29.700 --> 00:33:32.660
been quoted in an article about defending Pete
00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:38.359
Hicks that the secretary of defense actually
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:42.269
turning a turtle with a rocket launcher being
00:33:42.269 --> 00:33:46.609
on his personal stuff to say, hey, look, we can
00:33:46.609 --> 00:33:49.450
blow these people up whoever we want. That's
00:33:49.450 --> 00:33:54.269
crazy to me. All right. So let me answer. Let
00:33:54.269 --> 00:33:56.710
me address this. First of all, what I was saying
00:33:56.710 --> 00:34:00.470
about Jimmy Kimmel, I was correct. He said he
00:34:00.470 --> 00:34:04.009
implied the shooter, 22 year old Tyler Robinson.
00:34:04.750 --> 00:34:08.530
He said that he had emerging far right ties.
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:12.659
in the initial reports and that's what was despicable
00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:16.480
that he was trying to blame the shooting on the
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.139
MAGA movement and on conservatives and that's
00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:25.500
what was got people infuriated in the fact that
00:34:25.500 --> 00:34:30.139
here is a guy Charlie Kirk that got assassinated
00:34:30.139 --> 00:34:35.489
for what for freedom of speech He was an evangelical
00:34:35.489 --> 00:34:39.449
Christian. People said that he was sexist. He
00:34:39.449 --> 00:34:42.789
wasn't sexist. He just followed his faith and
00:34:42.789 --> 00:34:44.949
he preached everything in his faith. And I'll
00:34:44.949 --> 00:34:46.429
get to your question in a second. I just want
00:34:46.429 --> 00:34:48.710
to address this first because it's really important
00:34:48.710 --> 00:34:51.250
because it's really what the core of what we're
00:34:51.250 --> 00:34:56.659
about is. They said that he was racist because
00:34:56.659 --> 00:34:59.059
they said he said something about Martin Luther
00:34:59.059 --> 00:35:01.360
King and if you look and peel the layers off
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:05.739
over he called Martin Luther King out because
00:35:05.739 --> 00:35:08.059
he said that there are a lot of women in Martin
00:35:08.059 --> 00:35:11.980
Luther King's presence that were being exploited
00:35:11.980 --> 00:35:18.820
sexually and he was not even a faithful man to
00:35:18.820 --> 00:35:24.019
his spouse. So that was misconstrued. completely
00:35:24.019 --> 00:35:27.019
to say that he was racist. I mean, I knew the
00:35:27.019 --> 00:35:29.460
guy. There was not a racist bone, racial bone
00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:32.980
in his body. But getting back to the spokesperson
00:35:32.980 --> 00:35:36.539
for Turning Point USA, I don't know who this
00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:39.960
person is. So if somebody, Turning Point has
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:43.940
in every university, they have a chapter and
00:35:43.940 --> 00:35:48.190
there's probably about 200. plus students in
00:35:48.190 --> 00:35:51.289
each of those chapters. So if you take that as
00:35:51.289 --> 00:35:54.550
a whole and multiply that out you have probably
00:35:54.550 --> 00:35:57.369
over a hundred thousand people that can be labeled
00:35:57.369 --> 00:36:01.989
as a turning point representative. You can't
00:36:01.989 --> 00:36:04.590
control that many viewpoints and there are going
00:36:04.590 --> 00:36:10.309
to be people who say things that are not in complete
00:36:10.309 --> 00:36:13.650
contrast with what Charlie stood for and what
00:36:13.650 --> 00:36:17.690
turning point stood for and stands for. So I
00:36:17.690 --> 00:36:21.489
don't think that statement is anything in line
00:36:21.489 --> 00:36:23.710
with the values of Turning Point USA and the
00:36:23.710 --> 00:36:26.449
people that I know that are know very closely
00:36:26.449 --> 00:36:29.889
with the organization itself and why it was founded.
00:36:30.429 --> 00:36:35.489
So I don't want to spew out misinformation based
00:36:35.489 --> 00:36:38.289
upon something that this is the first time I
00:36:38.289 --> 00:36:40.670
heard it. I don't know if it's accurate. I don't
00:36:40.670 --> 00:36:43.210
know who this person is. But I do know that you
00:36:43.210 --> 00:36:45.550
have over 100 ,000 people that could be labeled
00:36:45.550 --> 00:36:48.989
as an agent of Turning Point because all they
00:36:48.989 --> 00:36:51.349
have to do is have a membership into one of their
00:36:51.349 --> 00:36:55.429
school chapters. I mean, you could find that
00:36:55.429 --> 00:37:00.269
in every single organization. I don't think that
00:37:00.269 --> 00:37:03.230
is the direction we should go because we'll never
00:37:03.230 --> 00:37:06.050
ever actually have an understanding because will
00:37:06.050 --> 00:37:09.130
be spewing misinformation out there because we
00:37:09.130 --> 00:37:13.670
have bias agendas. We focus in on aligning our
00:37:13.670 --> 00:37:17.909
bias, all of us, including me. And that's why
00:37:17.909 --> 00:37:22.050
freedom of speech is so important is let me understand
00:37:22.050 --> 00:37:24.510
the other side's viewpoint because let me find
00:37:24.510 --> 00:37:28.050
out why I am wrong. And quite honestly, I am
00:37:28.050 --> 00:37:32.469
wrong often, but I'm willing. You're a little
00:37:32.469 --> 00:37:34.389
bit wrong about Charlie Kirk because he had a
00:37:34.389 --> 00:37:37.480
lot of bigoted and racist statement outside of
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.800
what you just said. Because he said exactly that's
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:43.480
not the only thing he said about Martin Luther
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.380
King. He said he shouldn't have a holiday. He
00:37:46.380 --> 00:37:49.219
said a lot of things. Do you agree or disagree
00:37:49.219 --> 00:37:51.940
that he made a lot of bigoted and racist statements?
00:37:52.409 --> 00:37:55.630
I have not heard a single bigoted or racist thing
00:37:55.630 --> 00:37:58.449
that he said. I read the context of what he said
00:37:58.449 --> 00:38:00.349
about Martin Luther King because I wanted to
00:38:00.349 --> 00:38:04.550
know. I think that he just followed the, I know,
00:38:05.289 --> 00:38:09.329
the core of me knows that he followed the evangelical
00:38:09.329 --> 00:38:14.809
Christian Bible to its core and he did not have
00:38:14.809 --> 00:38:17.329
a racist bone in his body and you know it's funny
00:38:17.329 --> 00:38:19.409
because I don't know if you know. I have something
00:38:19.409 --> 00:38:22.090
to say when you're done. Yeah, I don't know if
00:38:22.090 --> 00:38:25.769
you know. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You guys we
00:38:25.769 --> 00:38:28.750
are live on. We are live not only just on chatter
00:38:28.750 --> 00:38:32.110
social, but 10 platforms. Attorney Turk is my
00:38:32.110 --> 00:38:35.110
guest on Adrian Barker speaks. I had no idea
00:38:35.110 --> 00:38:37.949
who he is. I don't prep so there's no fluff.
00:38:38.409 --> 00:38:43.050
So so one at a time and and then and and we're
00:38:43.050 --> 00:38:46.960
not going to argue so. Am I allowed to finish
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:48.920
because there was a conversation that he was
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:51.500
finishing up and I just can he can he finish
00:38:51.500 --> 00:38:53.440
can he finish his plan about why taller kirk
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:55.380
ain't racist don't have a racist bone in his
00:38:55.380 --> 00:38:59.559
body I mean I i've known him personally one of
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:05.579
the things that um I think around 2011 or 2012
00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:11.239
I went to um Dallas. They had an event for Turning
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:13.920
Point. This is right when I got started into
00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:17.059
Turning Point USA. And I got to be backstage
00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:22.099
with Charlie. It was a women's event. And he
00:39:22.099 --> 00:39:26.480
was looking out at the audience and there was
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:31.139
probably, I'm guessing, maybe, let's say 15 ,000
00:39:31.139 --> 00:39:33.440
people in the audience. It was a big convention.
00:39:34.690 --> 00:39:37.170
and the convention hall that was hosting it right
00:39:37.170 --> 00:39:40.190
by the airport. And I said to Charlie, I said,
00:39:40.329 --> 00:39:43.190
you know, the one thing you really have to focus
00:39:43.190 --> 00:39:49.849
in on is look at this audience. What do you notice
00:39:49.849 --> 00:39:55.769
here? And I said, joking, but with truth is that
00:39:55.769 --> 00:39:59.750
if we had to have crayons to color this, we would
00:39:59.750 --> 00:40:02.389
only need the lightest shades of the rainbow.
00:40:02.570 --> 00:40:05.530
And we need diversity. If you're a conservative
00:40:05.530 --> 00:40:11.369
organization, you really need to capture everyone.
00:40:11.789 --> 00:40:15.090
And we had a nice conversation about what he's
00:40:15.090 --> 00:40:17.530
doing and what he's trying to accomplish and
00:40:17.530 --> 00:40:20.630
how he feels. We just had a personal conversation.
00:40:20.809 --> 00:40:23.570
So he got a good understanding of his heart right
00:40:23.570 --> 00:40:27.010
then and there. And then the next couple of weeks,
00:40:27.650 --> 00:40:31.710
there was another event in West Palm Beach. And
00:40:31.710 --> 00:40:34.230
there was a dinner and I got invited and sitting
00:40:34.230 --> 00:40:37.289
next to me was Candice Owens. And that's when
00:40:37.289 --> 00:40:40.849
he hired Candice Owens, who I'm not a big Candice
00:40:40.849 --> 00:40:44.090
Owens fan. I think what she's saying about Judaism
00:40:44.090 --> 00:40:50.190
and Israel is completely inappropriate and unconscionable.
00:40:50.849 --> 00:40:55.050
But at the time, it was, you know, him listening
00:40:55.050 --> 00:40:59.510
and realizing that We do need he does turning
00:40:59.510 --> 00:41:04.269
point needs diversity and they have you know
00:41:04.269 --> 00:41:07.369
organizations within the organization for diversity
00:41:07.369 --> 00:41:12.650
and they have You know, not only do they have
00:41:12.650 --> 00:41:18.730
women's Events they have events for minorities
00:41:18.730 --> 00:41:23.210
they have a black Annual convention. I mean they
00:41:23.210 --> 00:41:28.480
do a lot to capture diversity But I think people
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:32.380
take him out of context and I cannot imagine
00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:38.800
somebody who I knew quite personally I just didn't
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:44.440
see an ounce of racism in his body and people
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:48.780
take what he said for being evangelical more
00:41:48.780 --> 00:41:54.219
so out of context to support a position and One
00:41:54.219 --> 00:41:57.539
of the things that's really challenging for me
00:41:57.539 --> 00:42:01.599
is to have open dialogue where every time you
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:05.039
have a disagreement, the other side is going
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:10.019
to call you racist. And it just really devalues
00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:13.199
the conversation because you could have ideas
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:19.019
that may not be supportive of one group or another,
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:21.380
but that doesn't not necessarily make you racist.
00:42:21.539 --> 00:42:24.119
I mean, you could call out some truth in certain
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:29.699
situations, which he did for all types of faith
00:42:29.699 --> 00:42:33.440
and race and everything else. But he didn't do
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:39.019
it with what? Even the pilots, the black pilots,
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:44.599
the black pilots that he talked about. The what
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:46.960
when United Airlines are you? I don't know what
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:49.500
he said, but I assume you're talking about when
00:42:49.500 --> 00:42:55.179
United Airlines decided to use DEI in their hiring
00:42:55.179 --> 00:42:58.380
policy and focus in on getting not the best pilots,
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:02.460
but the best pilots who happen to be either women
00:43:02.460 --> 00:43:04.739
or black. I think that's probably what your.
00:43:05.269 --> 00:43:07.590
referring to it wasn't black it wasn't just black
00:43:07.590 --> 00:43:10.210
because no it was just black it was all it was
00:43:10.210 --> 00:43:12.369
asians it was every every spanish it was everyone
00:43:12.369 --> 00:43:14.789
so you can't say black it wasn't just black that
00:43:14.789 --> 00:43:16.550
that's a fallacy that's that's a misconception
00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:20.449
that was out there it was no i just said i just
00:43:20.449 --> 00:43:23.150
i'm talking more about i assume it was more about
00:43:23.150 --> 00:43:26.210
dei than anything because he wasn't a person
00:43:26.210 --> 00:43:28.769
they still had to take they still had to pass
00:43:28.769 --> 00:43:31.809
the same test right they didn't lower test requirements
00:43:31.809 --> 00:43:34.030
they just went out and recruited different people
00:43:34.030 --> 00:43:35.909
but you still have to have the same requirements
00:43:35.909 --> 00:43:39.309
so it doesn't make you less safe. No that's not
00:43:39.309 --> 00:43:41.550
true that's not true what they said was that
00:43:41.550 --> 00:43:44.389
they're gonna hire x amount of people so what
00:43:44.389 --> 00:43:46.489
that meant was they're not gonna get the best
00:43:46.489 --> 00:43:49.309
people they were gonna get the best people that
00:43:49.309 --> 00:43:55.110
by based on racism and based on um yeah that's
00:43:55.099 --> 00:43:58.820
Book it up. That's exactly what they said We
00:43:58.820 --> 00:44:04.300
need to hire 80 % of people That aren't white
00:44:04.300 --> 00:44:07.500
males. I mean that's attorney Kirk. This is this
00:44:07.500 --> 00:44:10.500
is OG James So when we deal with aviation, you're
00:44:10.500 --> 00:44:13.300
still talking about ATP certification through
00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:16.280
the FAA so when you're looking at that, but I
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:20.179
wanted to slide back because I think If you I
00:44:20.179 --> 00:44:23.300
think you're us familiar with the fact that Wheaton
00:44:23.300 --> 00:44:25.820
College is an evangelical university. I'm an
00:44:25.820 --> 00:44:27.860
alum of Wheaton College, but I'm also a black
00:44:27.860 --> 00:44:29.599
man that grew up on the west side of Chicago.
00:44:30.260 --> 00:44:33.480
Now, when you spoke about being evangelicals,
00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:37.000
you're familiar with the book of Matthew, chapter
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.059
seven, verses one through seven, where it starts
00:44:39.059 --> 00:44:41.579
talking about, just not let she be judged. And
00:44:41.579 --> 00:44:43.480
when you sat there and you talked about, even
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:45.679
if we're not dealing with race, when you talked
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:48.199
about how he judged Martin Luther King according
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:52.320
to certain actions that he did, Are we not expressly
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.699
kind of told not to do that? That's not part
00:44:54.699 --> 00:44:57.519
of love to judge folks like that. Let them know
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.659
you by your love, not by judgment. If you're
00:45:00.659 --> 00:45:03.920
an evangelical, should you be judging? Was Charlie
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.960
Kirk or are you correct in judging people the
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:10.079
way that you looked at him and the way that he
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:13.219
talked about Martin Luther King? Is that an inappropriate
00:45:13.219 --> 00:45:17.199
thing to do for an evangelical Christian? I am
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:21.000
not an evangelical. I do not know that. To be
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.739
true and what I am saying about what he said
00:45:23.739 --> 00:45:26.639
about Martin Luther King I I'm referencing it
00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:29.480
from my memory But I can go back and look at
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:32.659
exactly what he said. So like again, you're taking
00:45:32.659 --> 00:45:36.400
what I said might be 80 % accurate because it's
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.300
coming from my recollection not from Exactly
00:45:39.300 --> 00:45:41.820
what came out of his mouth, but if you took what
00:45:41.820 --> 00:45:45.199
it came out of his mouth and said Exactly what
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:48.039
came and I could look it up if you want and maybe
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:50.639
we could have a discussion about that. But I'm
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:54.260
just paraphrasing what so so so here's what came
00:45:54.260 --> 00:45:56.559
out of your mouth. What came out of your mouth
00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.780
was that you question the qualifications of people
00:45:59.780 --> 00:46:03.719
that have to pass an FAA stringent certification
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:05.880
with more than 20. They probably have more than
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:11.039
2500 flight hours before they get behind a major.
00:46:12.509 --> 00:46:16.150
like United or American, right? Are you familiar
00:46:16.150 --> 00:46:18.349
with that? And if you're not, then why are you
00:46:18.349 --> 00:46:20.989
talking about it? You made that comment. And
00:46:20.989 --> 00:46:23.269
even, I'm not talking about the exactism. I asked
00:46:23.269 --> 00:46:26.769
you not to judge. I said, if he, let's change
00:46:26.769 --> 00:46:30.090
it the way I said it. If he said it, if he said
00:46:30.090 --> 00:46:33.210
it. OG, OG, one second. Let's remember he's a
00:46:33.210 --> 00:46:39.309
guest here. Look at that. No, no, look. One of
00:46:39.309 --> 00:46:41.489
the things that i appreciate in this conversation
00:46:41.489 --> 00:46:45.409
is heated conversations of people who. Disagree
00:46:45.409 --> 00:46:49.250
with me or question me because at the end of
00:46:49.250 --> 00:46:52.190
the day i'm gonna have to know my facts better
00:46:52.190 --> 00:46:54.690
and so that i could support arguments with people
00:46:54.690 --> 00:46:57.650
who have the opposing side. It's easy when you
00:46:57.650 --> 00:47:00.110
have conversations with people who just are yes
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:02.210
people cuz you're their friends and they agree
00:47:02.210 --> 00:47:04.010
with you and they say you're right you're right
00:47:04.010 --> 00:47:05.829
you're right but they don't challenge your thinking
00:47:05.829 --> 00:47:10.119
but it's much more. beneficial to have somebody
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:13.260
who completely challenges everything I say, because
00:47:13.260 --> 00:47:18.599
words do matter. So I do not want to mislead
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:22.780
or misconstrue an audience based upon a recollection
00:47:22.780 --> 00:47:27.199
of what was done, what Charlie said, or about
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.860
the FAA. My whole point from my recollection
00:47:30.860 --> 00:47:35.960
is that I don't honestly care. what the color
00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:40.960
or the race or the religion or the gender of
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:45.619
the pilot I don't think that has anything to
00:47:45.619 --> 00:47:50.420
do with putting the best pilot hiring the most
00:47:50.420 --> 00:47:55.119
qualified pilot but that should not race should
00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:59.340
not be a deciding factor in that you should look
00:47:59.340 --> 00:48:03.599
at who is the most qualified now all things being
00:48:03.599 --> 00:48:08.519
equal yes we could look at other um you know
00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:12.079
other factors i do believe that one of the reasons
00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:14.639
this country is better than any other country
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.480
and i really do believe that is that we have
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:19.960
diversity of opinions and we have diversity of
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:22.719
thoughts and we have the freedom to share that
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:28.280
and um when when we go to war When 9 -11 occurred,
00:48:29.099 --> 00:48:32.539
that was the closest we were as a country. Nobody
00:48:32.539 --> 00:48:36.300
cared who their neighbor was, what church they
00:48:36.300 --> 00:48:41.880
belonged to, or gender, race. We were all Americans.
00:48:43.860 --> 00:48:47.480
And we forget that because in this country, for
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:54.860
some reason, a lot of the media, especially the
00:48:54.860 --> 00:48:59.869
sensationalized media, They just factor in splitting
00:48:59.869 --> 00:49:02.750
us up and putting us in groups and categories
00:49:02.750 --> 00:49:06.989
and this and that. And we can't get along because
00:49:06.989 --> 00:49:09.630
everybody has a different perspective and we
00:49:09.630 --> 00:49:11.769
have to exploit those perspectives and everyone
00:49:11.769 --> 00:49:17.610
has to come from a sense of wrong, being wronged.
00:49:17.610 --> 00:49:20.800
I'm Jewish, so I don't... Truly understand the
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:24.639
event evangelical philosophy. I just understand
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:27.440
the people behind it and you know their core
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.280
heart and their message. I don't care if they're
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:33.059
what their religion is as long as you're a good
00:49:33.059 --> 00:49:40.880
person. Open minded in a sense to make me feel
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:44.440
that you know you may not agree with me or my
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:47.599
faith, but you'll respect me just like I will
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:51.420
respect you. And I don't think you really need
00:49:51.420 --> 00:49:56.059
to know and quote the Bible to know in the core
00:49:56.059 --> 00:50:01.980
of all of us is a soul. And that soul of righteousness
00:50:01.980 --> 00:50:06.960
is based upon being good to other people, being
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:13.239
concerned and not judgmental. And realize that
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:17.679
as you get older, 90 % of what you really thought
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:21.269
you knew You'll realize you don't know. I mean
00:50:21.269 --> 00:50:24.190
the older I get the more I realize the less I
00:50:24.190 --> 00:50:29.550
know and It's that's why I love these conversations
00:50:29.550 --> 00:50:32.710
because You know put me to the fire. Tell me
00:50:32.710 --> 00:50:36.010
what I'm saying is wrong because if I just yes
00:50:36.010 --> 00:50:42.030
to death Then I really have no purpose because
00:50:42.030 --> 00:50:45.590
I'm not gonna evolve as a human being I mean,
00:50:45.630 --> 00:50:48.469
as a society, we all changed over the last 20
00:50:48.469 --> 00:50:50.969
years alone. I mean, one of the things I keep
00:50:50.969 --> 00:50:55.889
saying, 20 years ago, it was, I think it was
00:50:55.889 --> 00:50:58.349
the Defense of Marriage Act, it was Bill Clinton,
00:50:58.570 --> 00:51:03.090
right? That marriage was between a male and a
00:51:03.090 --> 00:51:06.570
female. And, you know, that was the consensus
00:51:06.570 --> 00:51:10.170
on both left and right. We have evolved tremendously
00:51:10.170 --> 00:51:13.969
from that. So, you know, without free speech
00:51:13.969 --> 00:51:17.630
and you know, the ability to share what we think,
00:51:18.050 --> 00:51:21.050
we really don't have a country. So, you know,
00:51:21.050 --> 00:51:25.670
I may think about aviation one way because from
00:51:25.670 --> 00:51:28.070
what I want is maybe a little different than
00:51:28.070 --> 00:51:30.789
what you want, but that doesn't mean you're right
00:51:30.789 --> 00:51:33.250
and I'm wrong or vice versa. It means that we
00:51:33.250 --> 00:51:36.070
should have a debate about it, a discussion about
00:51:36.070 --> 00:51:38.969
it. And what Charlie Kirk did best was he would
00:51:38.969 --> 00:51:42.110
have these debates and he would go into the lion's
00:51:42.110 --> 00:51:46.840
den and say, tell me why I'm wrong. Now, whether
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:49.840
or not he ever changed his ways, I don't recall,
00:51:50.579 --> 00:51:53.659
but I can tell you from me, things that I thought
00:51:53.659 --> 00:51:58.920
I knew in the 20s that I was so for, I have a
00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:03.920
different viewpoint in my late 40s now. But if
00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:06.699
we take away our ability to share and convey
00:52:06.699 --> 00:52:10.550
that message to one another, We really don't
00:52:10.550 --> 00:52:13.170
have the ability to grow and expand as a nation
00:52:13.170 --> 00:52:17.750
or as an individual. And it's funny, as I keep
00:52:17.750 --> 00:52:21.050
saying, I'm in my late forties. I have kids that
00:52:21.050 --> 00:52:26.710
are 12 and 13, and sometimes as much as I think
00:52:26.710 --> 00:52:31.690
I know best, they prove me I'm wrong. I mean,
00:52:31.710 --> 00:52:34.969
it doesn't matter how old you are. It just matters
00:52:34.969 --> 00:52:38.070
how you're willing to take on an argument, look
00:52:38.070 --> 00:52:42.900
at it from all different avenues and not be so
00:52:42.900 --> 00:52:45.199
close -minded to think that there's only one
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:49.139
way to answer that issue and that you're always
00:52:49.139 --> 00:52:54.579
going to be right. Attorney Turk, I have a question.
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:56.980
I'm going to put my hand up. First of all, thank
00:52:56.980 --> 00:52:59.260
you so much and thank you for your time. Please
00:52:59.260 --> 00:53:01.360
let me know how much time you have available.
00:53:02.860 --> 00:53:05.579
Do you have another 10 minutes? Yeah, I have
00:53:05.579 --> 00:53:08.179
10 minutes. I have a 430 call to go on. It's
00:53:08.179 --> 00:53:11.909
405. Okay, very, very good. Oh, I'm on the East
00:53:11.909 --> 00:53:16.170
Coast and Daytona Beach. So Attorney Turk, what
00:53:16.170 --> 00:53:19.210
about the J -6ers? Are you representing any of
00:53:19.210 --> 00:53:22.769
them in the cases that were taking place? Yeah,
00:53:22.849 --> 00:53:29.309
we got a pardon from one of these J -6ers. His
00:53:29.309 --> 00:53:33.889
name is Dan Wilson. We helped him. So Dan Wilson
00:53:33.889 --> 00:53:38.269
got released after Trump. initiated the full
00:53:38.269 --> 00:53:42.829
part in. And one of the things that we have to
00:53:42.829 --> 00:53:46.469
take a step back in, and I don't think that people
00:53:46.469 --> 00:53:54.130
realize how sick and deranged this could be.
00:53:55.269 --> 00:53:58.469
So whether or not you're on one side or the other
00:53:58.469 --> 00:54:01.670
side of J6, I could tell you a lot, but we don't
00:54:01.670 --> 00:54:05.460
have enough time. So that you'll at least understand
00:54:05.460 --> 00:54:10.000
my perspective on this, okay? But with that being
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.119
said, you have people who they knew were they
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:19.619
gonna, they were ready talking to the DOJ and
00:54:19.619 --> 00:54:21.780
to their lawyers and they knew that they were
00:54:21.780 --> 00:54:26.000
gonna have to surrender at some point. And we
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:28.639
had somebody who we worked very closely with,
00:54:28.739 --> 00:54:33.190
his name was Trentus Evans. He was... part of
00:54:33.190 --> 00:54:35.869
the charity now he's an advisor to the charity
00:54:35.869 --> 00:54:38.809
and he walked through the capital building with
00:54:38.809 --> 00:54:43.730
a megaphone and a bottle of fire whiskey or fireball
00:54:43.730 --> 00:54:49.530
and He was talking to the authorities he had
00:54:49.530 --> 00:54:52.949
an attorney and rather than him getting arrested
00:54:52.949 --> 00:54:56.750
like a you know a person who was not a risk threat
00:54:56.750 --> 00:55:01.570
of risk of leaving the country with father of
00:55:01.570 --> 00:55:05.760
two a husband, a family -oriented individual,
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:09.500
very passionate about his country, our country.
00:55:10.440 --> 00:55:17.780
And he ended up having scores of police raiding
00:55:17.780 --> 00:55:21.480
his house with guns, with lasers focused on his
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:25.340
children. Treated him like he was an animal.
00:55:26.780 --> 00:55:29.260
rather than have him just self -surrender, which
00:55:29.260 --> 00:55:31.159
he would have been willing to do and they could
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:33.539
have easily. It's not a good use of resources.
00:55:34.300 --> 00:55:37.699
But this is not the America that we cherish.
00:55:38.579 --> 00:55:44.119
This is an authoritarian regime. So one of the
00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:49.179
things that we realized is that this was a politicized
00:55:49.179 --> 00:55:52.820
situation. Any which way you want to look at
00:55:52.820 --> 00:55:55.460
it. You may be against it, but it was politicized.
00:55:56.339 --> 00:55:59.400
And it was not an insurrection by the textbook
00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:02.500
definition. So yeah, we do represent a lot of
00:56:02.500 --> 00:56:04.380
people. One of them is this guy, Dan Wilson.
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.440
So after you got pardoned. When they did one
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:10.380
of those raids on his house, they found a gun
00:56:10.380 --> 00:56:14.500
in his house that was unauthorized. Don't support
00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:18.199
that. Don't promote it. But it was based upon
00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:20.599
this raid, which should not have happened in
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:24.179
the first place. And the judge refused to let
00:56:24.179 --> 00:56:27.360
him out until we had an unconditional pardon,
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:32.380
the second pardon for the same situation. A lot
00:56:32.380 --> 00:56:36.659
of people who I'm not condoning walking through
00:56:36.659 --> 00:56:39.780
the Capitol building on January 6th, but went
00:56:39.780 --> 00:56:42.820
there without a malicious intent, without a thought
00:56:42.820 --> 00:56:45.199
that they were overthrowing the government. A
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:50.059
lot that the public is unaware of, but a lot
00:56:50.059 --> 00:56:51.880
of the people, the majority of the people who
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:54.820
walked through there were thinking that they
00:56:54.820 --> 00:56:57.659
were just protesting, just peacefully protesting.
00:56:59.529 --> 00:57:01.750
All of a sudden, their livelihood has been taken
00:57:01.750 --> 00:57:05.150
away from them. They can't seek employment. Everything
00:57:05.150 --> 00:57:06.809
that they've known is taken away. They can't
00:57:06.809 --> 00:57:09.929
even open a bank account at certain banks. They
00:57:09.929 --> 00:57:12.849
were ostracized in their communities. They can't
00:57:12.849 --> 00:57:16.789
seek normal wages anymore. Just a lot of things
00:57:16.789 --> 00:57:19.329
that just don't add up. You have someone by the
00:57:19.329 --> 00:57:23.449
name of Ashley Bobbitt who got shot from what
00:57:23.449 --> 00:57:27.730
it looks like. He was a police officer. You know,
00:57:27.969 --> 00:57:31.130
we know that, but I mean, there's a lot of information
00:57:31.130 --> 00:57:33.250
that's just a little questionable, so I don't
00:57:33.250 --> 00:57:37.710
want to misquote, misstate. But why did she lose
00:57:37.710 --> 00:57:40.230
her life for protesting? She didn't have a weapon.
00:57:40.289 --> 00:57:42.530
She didn't have anything. But where is the outrage
00:57:42.530 --> 00:57:45.070
there? There is none. You know, a lot of things
00:57:45.070 --> 00:57:49.869
happened that day and a lot of things that we
00:57:49.869 --> 00:57:52.449
don't have the answers to. And so what we're
00:57:52.449 --> 00:57:56.030
trying to do is to understand this so it doesn't
00:57:56.030 --> 00:58:01.210
happen again. Some people, they have due process.
00:58:01.389 --> 00:58:04.449
There were people there that were there behind
00:58:04.449 --> 00:58:07.329
bars for months before they were even charged
00:58:07.329 --> 00:58:10.050
for a crime. There was somebody who wasn't even
00:58:10.050 --> 00:58:12.190
in the Capitol building that were helping out,
00:58:12.530 --> 00:58:16.090
that he was with a reporter from trying to think
00:58:16.090 --> 00:58:19.130
of it was rolling stone magazine i believe and
00:58:19.130 --> 00:58:21.550
uh... they got him for trespassing because he
00:58:21.550 --> 00:58:25.829
crossed the barrier unaware they put him in solitary
00:58:25.829 --> 00:58:29.170
confinement for seventeen days i mean that's
00:58:29.170 --> 00:58:32.269
not america that's not freedom i mean and these
00:58:32.269 --> 00:58:36.030
are the people that were uh... trying to protect
00:58:36.030 --> 00:58:41.309
and to to get them back to society And unfortunately,
00:58:41.329 --> 00:58:43.769
this is a side that people don't know because
00:58:43.769 --> 00:58:46.750
people's political aggression, and I say that
00:58:46.750 --> 00:58:49.909
correctly, political aggression, they believe
00:58:49.909 --> 00:58:51.849
what they want to believe and they have so much
00:58:51.849 --> 00:58:53.929
animosity towards the other side that they're
00:58:53.929 --> 00:58:56.610
not willing to even understand that the other
00:58:56.610 --> 00:58:58.909
side has a perspective and that person might
00:58:58.909 --> 00:59:02.269
be a friend under a different situation. I mean,
00:59:02.590 --> 00:59:04.769
do you feel like all the JN6 people was treated
00:59:04.769 --> 00:59:09.099
unfairly? I think the majority of them, but they're
00:59:09.099 --> 00:59:11.300
bad seeds. I think they were bad people. I think
00:59:11.300 --> 00:59:18.719
like in any protest or any type of situation
00:59:18.719 --> 00:59:23.079
like that, there are people there that I don't
00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:28.000
condone at all, but two runs don't make a right
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:31.559
either. You think if Ashley Babbitt would have
00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:33.219
complied that she would still be living today?
00:59:33.730 --> 00:59:37.730
Have you I I don't think she really was not compliant.
00:59:37.750 --> 00:59:41.150
I've seen the video. It's just Looked like she
00:59:41.150 --> 00:59:44.309
was just shot randomly like it made no sense
00:59:44.309 --> 00:59:48.289
It must be two videos it must be two videos out
00:59:48.289 --> 00:59:50.769
there because she was warned several times and
00:59:50.769 --> 00:59:53.170
she kept going and when she stuck her head through
00:59:53.170 --> 00:59:55.969
that thing where all the senators and congressmen
00:59:55.969 --> 00:59:59.090
were That's when she was shot, but she was warned
00:59:59.090 --> 01:00:03.690
several times to stop and she wouldn't stop There
01:00:03.690 --> 01:00:06.409
are other videos that I don't know why they haven't
01:00:06.409 --> 01:00:08.670
been publicized, but if you've seen them you
01:00:08.670 --> 01:00:12.929
would understand my My perspective, but I really
01:00:12.929 --> 01:00:15.449
appreciate talking to you because you're you
01:00:15.449 --> 01:00:17.570
you you challenge everything I say and rightfully
01:00:17.570 --> 01:00:20.889
so so thank you But I don't think she should
01:00:20.889 --> 01:00:24.789
have she wasn't a threat imminent harm to anybody
01:00:24.789 --> 01:00:29.559
which would warrant justify losing your life
01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:32.880
well was she making a wise decision at that moment
01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:36.400
i would i wouldn't say that she was but i don't
01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:42.079
think uh you know you should have lost your life
01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:44.559
neither should have george floyd lost his life
01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:49.219
um but at the same time um you know you want
01:00:49.219 --> 01:00:51.380
don't want to take away the death of somebody
01:00:51.380 --> 01:00:57.449
by justifying the um the overreach or the stupidity
01:00:57.449 --> 01:01:00.170
of the law enforcement officer for taking that
01:01:00.170 --> 01:01:03.269
life. And I don't think neither of those lives
01:01:03.269 --> 01:01:05.889
should have been lost under those situations.
01:01:07.530 --> 01:01:09.710
I think it was lucky that more people didn't
01:01:09.710 --> 01:01:11.849
get killed that day besides the police officer
01:01:11.849 --> 01:01:14.949
that died and the ones that were brutalized,
01:01:15.369 --> 01:01:18.349
but it's amazing. There were more. There were
01:01:18.349 --> 01:01:22.880
five or six people that I think I'm sorry. I
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:24.440
don't want to misquote. It might be three or
01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:27.039
four people. But there are other people that
01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:29.519
lost their lives there that nobody discusses.
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:32.719
And it's wrong. But at the same time... Are you
01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:38.539
talking about protesters? I'm talking about protesters
01:01:38.539 --> 01:01:42.539
and law enforcement as well. And the people who
01:01:42.539 --> 01:01:46.260
got characterized as losing their life as law
01:01:46.260 --> 01:01:49.019
enforcement, one person two days later had a
01:01:49.019 --> 01:01:52.739
heart attack, but they put him in the list of
01:01:52.739 --> 01:01:55.320
people who lost their life to create the narrative
01:01:55.320 --> 01:01:59.280
that they wanted. And I'm not trying to support
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:02.659
one political ideology over the next. I just
01:02:02.659 --> 01:02:06.679
think that we have been so split as a nation
01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:11.039
right now that it's hard to support something
01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:13.659
that doesn't support our political viewpoint.
01:02:14.460 --> 01:02:17.579
So everybody who's watching or watched January
01:02:17.579 --> 01:02:20.900
6th, if you find out that they're on the right,
01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:24.260
they're going to say this was complete nonsense.
01:02:24.280 --> 01:02:26.619
And if they're on the left, they think the opposite.
01:02:27.340 --> 01:02:32.239
But I'm just trying to get back to decency and
01:02:32.239 --> 01:02:37.000
civility and You know unity I mean I think this
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:43.199
country. We were never so close as a nation as
01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:47.480
we were after 9 11 and then we were just as close
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:53.099
probably when Obama got into office and. We are
01:02:53.099 --> 01:02:56.500
nowhere as close as you know that those times
01:02:56.500 --> 01:03:02.469
and I think it's a shame it really is. So Attorney
01:03:02.469 --> 01:03:04.969
Turk, thank you so much for being here. Thank
01:03:04.969 --> 01:03:08.969
you for, what I'd like to do is ask you to share
01:03:08.969 --> 01:03:12.909
how we can help you. I absolutely believe in
01:03:12.909 --> 01:03:16.280
our freedom to speak. I appreciate everyone on
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:19.420
ChatterSocial and Jonathan Bing especially for
01:03:19.420 --> 01:03:22.320
allowing us to host this live in the room. Again,
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:25.219
it was unexpected. And I know that you need a
01:03:25.219 --> 01:03:26.760
few more minutes before you go to your next meeting.
01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:29.719
But we'd love to have you on ChatterSocial. And
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:32.320
it is a free app. And maybe you can use this
01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:34.340
sometimes when you're looking to figure out what
01:03:34.340 --> 01:03:36.440
the jurors are going to think or what someone
01:03:36.440 --> 01:03:39.000
to debate. You'll have plenty of both sides.
01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:42.179
In the meantime, how can we help you? Well, first
01:03:42.179 --> 01:03:45.519
of all, My charity is the American Rights Alliance.
01:03:45.659 --> 01:03:49.219
You look up americanrightsalliance .org. We are
01:03:49.219 --> 01:03:53.480
501 -T3. We're not, I keep saying this, we're
01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:56.980
not politically driven to just go and address
01:03:56.980 --> 01:04:00.079
one side or the other. We want a country that
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:04.059
is united and has the ability to speak freely
01:04:04.059 --> 01:04:07.599
and not be told what to speak and to, you know.
01:04:07.900 --> 01:04:13.360
be controlled to share just one opinion. I love
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:15.539
the audience. I love the conversation today.
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:18.579
I wasn't expecting this at all. Just like you
01:04:18.579 --> 01:04:23.320
going on this, you know, my staff puts me in
01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:25.619
front of these audiences and sometimes I like
01:04:25.619 --> 01:04:28.139
to go in them cold and sometimes I'm playing
01:04:28.139 --> 01:04:31.179
softball. But today I feel like I was in a boxing
01:04:31.179 --> 01:04:34.780
ring and I enjoyed it. So I appreciate the diversity
01:04:34.780 --> 01:04:37.730
of opinion. appreciate the civility of it as
01:04:37.730 --> 01:04:42.130
well. And the knowledge base of those who went
01:04:42.130 --> 01:04:44.590
and spoke from the other side. So I thank the
01:04:44.590 --> 01:04:48.590
audience for putting me up to a challenge that
01:04:48.590 --> 01:04:51.929
I wasn't expecting. So I appreciate everyone's
01:04:51.929 --> 01:04:55.269
time. Unfortunately, I have to get to another
01:04:55.269 --> 01:05:00.130
meeting in 13 minutes, but thank you again. Thank
01:05:00.130 --> 01:05:01.710
you so much. It was great speaking with you.
01:05:02.010 --> 01:05:06.329
Thank you too. It was great speaking to you.
01:05:07.090 --> 01:05:09.349
I think you should come back on. We have very
01:05:09.349 --> 01:05:11.550
spirited debates. I think you'll like it. You'll
01:05:11.550 --> 01:05:13.690
learn. And we can learn from you, but we definitely
01:05:13.690 --> 01:05:17.150
need more people from. with different perspectives.
01:05:17.710 --> 01:05:19.349
So I think you should download the app and come
01:05:19.349 --> 01:05:22.650
to us to bake the news and wrestle with us sometime.
01:05:22.849 --> 01:05:25.730
That'd be great. I think I have to. It's only
01:05:25.730 --> 01:05:27.849
going to make me a stronger person. And if I
01:05:27.849 --> 01:05:29.670
practice what I preach, this is really where
01:05:29.670 --> 01:05:33.389
I need to go. I need to be challenged, not just
01:05:33.389 --> 01:05:36.230
by yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir, but people who
01:05:36.230 --> 01:05:38.989
say, no, sir, you're wrong. And let me show you
01:05:38.989 --> 01:05:41.769
why you're wrong. So I appreciate all of you
01:05:41.769 --> 01:05:45.059
and I look forward to doing this again. You got
01:05:45.059 --> 01:05:49.260
to pull up man. They may be Go ahead D. No, my
01:05:49.260 --> 01:05:51.139
bad. Go ahead. I must say they make they make
01:05:51.139 --> 01:05:53.659
their own law up in here So we need somebody
01:05:53.659 --> 01:06:01.099
to know the real thing No, no, no No, no, I enjoyed
01:06:01.099 --> 01:06:03.780
them being here. That's all and definitely different
01:06:03.780 --> 01:06:07.219
perspective. We have Cindy Stumple here as well
01:06:07.219 --> 01:06:09.659
She was here and I don't know. She's still here.
01:06:09.699 --> 01:06:14.949
Well, uh, yeah, I'm sorry. I missed it It would
01:06:14.949 --> 01:06:17.329
have been on the right side of this conversation,
01:06:17.409 --> 01:06:22.969
as we know. I needed somebody. I actually reached
01:06:22.969 --> 01:06:25.030
out to Grant Cardone. I think he was going to
01:06:25.030 --> 01:06:26.809
try to get in here as well. I reached out to
01:06:26.809 --> 01:06:28.650
Grant to have him come in here and listen to
01:06:28.650 --> 01:06:33.630
this as well. But 100%. I thought Grant would
01:06:33.630 --> 01:06:36.329
provide a lot more support to this as well. But
01:06:36.329 --> 01:06:38.010
I got Cindy in here, Cindy. I reached out to
01:06:38.010 --> 01:06:41.530
Cindy. Cindy is the top, one of the top luxury
01:06:41.530 --> 01:06:44.110
builders in the country and the top female luxury
01:06:44.110 --> 01:06:47.809
builder in the country. So Cindy and me attorney.
01:06:48.050 --> 01:06:50.130
Yeah, that's my attorney. That's my claim to
01:06:50.130 --> 01:06:53.130
fame. That's it. It's going on my headstone.
01:06:53.489 --> 01:06:57.429
Yeah. Listen, I hear you. I hear you went some
01:06:57.429 --> 01:06:59.769
rounds in here. Good luck to you. We all do it
01:06:59.769 --> 01:07:01.630
every single night, aren't we? Would you like
01:07:01.630 --> 01:07:07.150
to be us? Yes, seriously. Like I feel like I
01:07:07.150 --> 01:07:09.389
like I was playing softball and now I'm in a
01:07:09.389 --> 01:07:11.969
boxing ring, but I liked it. So I'll have to
01:07:11.969 --> 01:07:15.210
do it again. That's not true. You're going to
01:07:15.210 --> 01:07:16.349
you're going to hang up and you're going to roll
01:07:16.349 --> 01:07:18.170
your eyes and go, what about your schmigeggis
01:07:18.170 --> 01:07:22.429
and move on? Schmigeggis is my favorite word.
01:07:22.570 --> 01:07:26.820
I had a fish named schmigeggis once. That's my
01:07:26.820 --> 01:07:28.500
favorite word when I'm in this room. He fits
01:07:28.500 --> 01:07:33.079
right in. So thank you guys so much. I appreciate
01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:35.500
it. I know you need to go. Thank you very much.
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:37.039
You were really wonderful. I really appreciate
01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:38.440
it. Thank you. Thank you all on Chandr Social.
01:07:38.579 --> 01:07:40.579
And I'm going to end this stream right now. And
01:07:40.579 --> 01:07:45.000
give me five stars. I'm just kidding. I sweated
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:48.300
a lot during this. Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:07:48.619 --> 01:07:49.320
Thank you.
