Left Wing Radicals Side With An Evil Murderous Woman AGAIN · The Matt Walsh Show

0:00
Speaker 1: 30 years ago, Krista Pike tortured a young girl to
0:03
Speaker 1: death using, at various points in the lengthy process, a knife,
0:07
Speaker 1: a meat cleaver, and a chunk of asphalt. Last night, finally,
0:12
Speaker 1: after three decades on death row, she was supposed to
0:15
Speaker 1: face the consequences of her crime. There's no reason why
0:19
Speaker 1: it should have taken even that long. Krista Pike could
0:22
Speaker 1: have been, should have been killed long ago. She should
0:25
Speaker 1: be fully decomposed in an unmarked grave outside of the
0:28
Speaker 1: prison by now. Once she was convicted of her crime,
0:32
Speaker 1: a crime she definitely committed and admits to committing, the
0:36
Speaker 1: execution ought to have been carried out within 30 days,
0:38
Speaker 1: if not sooner than that. But our almost comically convoluted
0:42
Speaker 1: system is designed to drag things out as long as possible,
0:46
Speaker 1: giving duly and justly condemned criminals every possible chance to
0:51
Speaker 1: desperately claw their way out of the hole they've dug
0:55
Speaker 1: for themselves. Now, typically, the condemned criminal gets an automatic
0:59
Speaker 1: state-level appeal. That happens right away. If that appeal fails,
1:03
Speaker 1: they appeal to the state again. If that fails, they
1:07
Speaker 1: appeal to the federal courts. And this round of appeals
1:11
Speaker 1: goes through three tiers of courts, the U.S. District Court,
1:15
Speaker 1: the U.S. Court of Appeals, and then the Supreme Court.
1:18
Speaker 1: And if all of that fails... They start filing rapid
1:22
Speaker 1: fire machine gun style motions and petitions for emergency stays
1:27
Speaker 1: of the executions and clemency. And this whole charade goes
1:30
Speaker 1: on for years and years and years. The average death
1:35
Speaker 1: row inmate in this country gets 18 years to badger
1:40
Speaker 1: every possible court at every possible level to bail them out.
1:45
Speaker 1: Krista Pike got 30 years and she got 30 years
1:50
Speaker 1: even though there was never any doubt about her guilt.
1:53
Speaker 1: Nobody denies that she did what she was convicted of doing.
1:57
Speaker 1: She doesn't deny it. So the appeals process is not
2:01
Speaker 1: giving a potentially innocent person the chance to be saved
2:04
Speaker 1: from an unjust punishment. It's giving a definitely guilty person
2:09
Speaker 1: the chance to be bailed out by some random judge who,
2:13
Speaker 1: for their own ideological or personal reasons, decides to override
2:17
Speaker 1: the result of a valid and constitutional criminal trial. And
2:21
Speaker 1: as we found out last night, sometimes even after all
2:25
Speaker 1: of those appeals are exhausted and every escape hatch is
2:29
Speaker 1: closed off, the condemned murderer might still find a way out.
2:34
Speaker 1: And that appears to be what has happened, at least
2:36
Speaker 1: for now, with Krista Pike. So last night, her execution, finally,
2:41
Speaker 1: after three decades of stalling, began. But it didn't finish.
2:45
Speaker 1: Around 7.39 p.m. Central Time, some minutes into the execution process,
2:52
Speaker 1: Pike told her spiritual advisor, who was in the execution
2:55
Speaker 1: chamber with her, that, quote, the vein in my arm
2:58
Speaker 1: feels like it's about to burst. She was strapped down
3:01
Speaker 1: on a gurney at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville,
3:05
Speaker 1: having received what was supposed to be a lethal dose
3:08
Speaker 1: of pentobarbital, a nervous system depressant that's used in lethal injections.
3:14
Speaker 1: There are more potent chemicals we could use, but they're
3:16
Speaker 1: mostly manufactured in Europe, which won't export the drugs to
3:19
Speaker 1: the United States for use in executions. They've spent 15
3:22
Speaker 1: years of limiting our supply of execution drugs, including the
3:25
Speaker 1: ones Tennessee is using. Within about two minutes, reporters in
3:29
Speaker 1: the observation room reported that Pike was kicking her feet
3:32
Speaker 1: at 745. She yawned very loudly and began snoring, lifted
3:35
Speaker 1: her head up briefly at 754 by 803. The snoring
3:38
Speaker 1: was loud. Her body flexed at 805 and she gasped
3:41
Speaker 1: for air. Shortly afterward, the curtain was drawn and the
3:44
Speaker 1: reporters were told to leave the observation room without being
3:47
Speaker 1: told whether Pike had been pronounced dead or not. As
3:51
Speaker 1: reporters spoke at a press conference outside the prison, ambulances arrived,
3:56
Speaker 1: apparently to see if they could save her life, even
3:59
Speaker 1: though the whole point of an execution, last I checked,
4:03
Speaker 1: is to kill the person. This is one of the
4:05
Speaker 1: most bizarre and inexplicable scenes you will ever see. And
4:10
Speaker 1: one of the things that makes it so bizarre is
4:12
Speaker 1: that all of these people are supposedly nonpartisan, unbiased reporters.
4:19
Speaker 1: And all of them are clearly activists who oppose the
4:21
Speaker 1: death penalty and they don't even hide it.
4:24
Speaker 2: Watch.
4:26
Speaker 3: It appeared that this did not go like they thought
4:28
Speaker 3: it was supposed to go. But we don't know that.
4:31
Speaker 3: When we left the building, so far as we knew,
4:34
Speaker 3: she was probably still alive. You just saw the emergency
4:37
Speaker 3: vehicles pull up. We don't know her status. And I
4:41
Speaker 3: think it's fair to say, and these guys will tell
4:43
Speaker 3: you more, we have a lot of questions. And the
4:45
Speaker 3: Department of Correction has a lot of answers that it
4:48
Speaker 3: needs to provide to the public about what happened here.
4:52
Speaker 3: Why was it that by the time the blinds went
4:54
Speaker 3: down for the second time at 8.05 a.m., She was
4:57
Speaker 3: still breathing, and her breathing at points was very rhythmic. Now,
5:01
Speaker 3: at times it appeared labored. She was snoring at times,
5:05
Speaker 3: but she was still breathing. We had to listen to
5:08
Speaker 3: all that from 8.05 until we left the building with
5:12
Speaker 3: the blinds down. We could not see what was happening.
5:15
Speaker 3: We heard activity, but we don't know what happened. We're
5:18
Speaker 3: not sure that's appropriate, and that's a question that we'd
5:21
Speaker 3: like answered.
5:21
Speaker 4: I will say I've witnessed, I believe, five executions in Tennessee.
5:26
Speaker 4: Nothing about today was normal, typical at all. And the
5:30
Speaker 4: cord delay was just the tip of the iceberg. The
5:32
Speaker 4: mic was on and she was at that point. So
5:35
Speaker 4: when the curtains were open, she was kind of inconsistently
5:38
Speaker 4: going in and out of snores and silence. When the
5:40
Speaker 4: curtains closed the final time at 8.05, we could consistently
5:44
Speaker 4: hear her snoring. And then it kind of developed into
5:46
Speaker 4: a snore squeak and then a snore. And even at 8.53,
5:50
Speaker 4: when the microphone was cut off, we could still hear snoring.
5:54
Speaker 5: I saw a tear roll down her right eye, and
5:57
Speaker 5: then she said, one spot is really throbbing. And then
6:01
Speaker 5: she and her spiritual advisor started to talk. This is
6:04
Speaker 5: still within 734 to 737. They say, tell, I couldn't
6:09
Speaker 5: hear the name, but Pike says, tell blank, I love him.
6:13
Speaker 5: Her spiritual advisor agrees or shakes his head at least.
6:17
Speaker 5: At 737, I recognized that she started to talk less.
6:21
Speaker 5: but she took four separate significant breaths, large enough to
6:25
Speaker 5: where you could see. I do wanna note that almost
6:33
Speaker 5: the entire time she was kicking her feet so often
6:36
Speaker 5: that she was actually knocking the sheet that laid over
6:39
Speaker 5: her off and one of the T-Doc employees had to
6:42
Speaker 5: come and put that back on her. Her lip quivered
6:46
Speaker 5: at one point, it sounded like she was almost choking
6:48
Speaker 5: at 7.51 Her snoring started again. I want to note,
6:55
Speaker 5: while all of this is happening, we were hearing an
6:57
Speaker 5: alarm go off. We later determined it to most likely
7:01
Speaker 5: be the battery warning of TDOC employees' communication devices with
7:09
Speaker 5: inside the penitent prison. The batteries were dying because they
7:13
Speaker 5: had been running for so long. And as we were waiting,
7:16
Speaker 5: their batteries in their microphones were dying.
7:21
Speaker 1: Well, where's a Canadian doctor when you need one? They
7:24
Speaker 1: take care of this problem very quickly. They're extremely efficient killers.
7:28
Speaker 1: All we have to do is tell them that Krista
7:29
Speaker 1: Pike is depressed or maybe has diabetes and they'd have
7:33
Speaker 1: her in a body bag in about five minutes. Actually,
7:35
Speaker 1: maybe they'd have some difficulty too. Canadian-made doctors use a
7:38
Speaker 1: drug called propofol when they're killing old people to harvest
7:42
Speaker 1: their organs. And we can't use propofol because Europe won't
7:45
Speaker 1: ship the drug to us. Think of how bizarre that is.
7:49
Speaker 1: Because Europeans are so allegedly civilized, they're leaving us with
7:52
Speaker 1: no choice if we insist on doing lethal injections and
7:57
Speaker 1: carrying out executions that way as opposed to other ways.
8:01
Speaker 1: There's no choice except to use a drug that maximizes
8:03
Speaker 1: the likelihood of a prolonged, agonizing death. I mean, you
8:07
Speaker 1: can argue that there's a poetic justice in a certain
8:10
Speaker 1: way since Pike tortured her victim and now something similar
8:14
Speaker 1: happened to her, but.
8:17
Speaker 1: This whole situation is certainly preventable. There's no arguing that.
8:20
Speaker 1: Part of the problem here is that when we use
8:23
Speaker 1: the weak drugs that we do have, there's apparently no
8:26
Speaker 1: protocol for what to do when the criminal remains alive
8:29
Speaker 1: after two doses. This is a medical reporter here who
8:32
Speaker 1: witnessed the botched execution. And we'll listen to what she
8:35
Speaker 1: has to say. But the obvious caveat is that as
8:37
Speaker 1: with all of those other reporters, you know, she's probably
8:41
Speaker 1: ideologically opposed to the death penalty. So keep that in mind.
8:44
Speaker 6: Watch.
8:47
Speaker 2: Hi, Catherine Sweeney, WPLN. I came up here earlier and
8:50
Speaker 2: I wasn't super sure about the dose of pentobarbital, so
8:52
Speaker 2: I pulled up the protocol. So what they do is
8:56
Speaker 2: they have a set of four syringes. One is saline,
8:59
Speaker 2: and then there's two syringes of 50 milliliters of pentobarbital.
9:04
Speaker 2: So what happens is the IV team determines the IV sites.
9:09
Speaker 2: IV team members insert the catheter. they establish access. Then
9:14
Speaker 2: the special operations team leader ensures that the catheters are
9:16
Speaker 2: properly secured. Uh, yeah, they establish access. The physician can
9:22
Speaker 2: insert a central line if they need to. And, um,
9:27
Speaker 2: then they just, they push it and they can do
9:30
Speaker 2: a whole second batch if they need to. Again, that's
9:32
Speaker 2: extremely rare. This is an enormous dose of a sedative
9:37
Speaker 2: that should not, um, ever need to happen twice, but
9:41
Speaker 2: it did. And then she stayed alive. I think one
9:44
Speaker 2: of the issues we have here is the protocol doesn't
9:49
Speaker 2: talk about what happens if you do this twice and
9:51
Speaker 2: they're still alive. I don't think that that is something
9:53
Speaker 2: that was planned for. So there was no rules about
9:57
Speaker 2: when to open the curtain after a second time. This
10:00
Speaker 2: is pretty unprecedented. None of it should have happened and
10:03
Speaker 2: it wasn't planned for. It made it really hard for
10:06
Speaker 2: the prison system to navigate and it made it hard
10:08
Speaker 2: for us to understand what was going on. Of course,
10:10
Speaker 2: we got out here. And then you all saw the
10:13
Speaker 2: ambulance going away with sirens. So we can presume that
10:17
Speaker 2: there was somebody alive in that. But we don't know.
10:18
Speaker 2: We're not being told. So that's all.
10:21
Speaker 3: I wanted to add.
10:21
Speaker 1: You know, there's kind of a morbid irony since when
10:27
Speaker 1: Pike was explaining why it took so long for her
10:29
Speaker 1: to murder the innocent girl she killed. She stated, and
10:32
Speaker 1: I quote, the wouldn't die. Now it's Pike who refuses
10:38
Speaker 1: to die. As things currently stand, Pike is apparently still
10:41
Speaker 1: not dead. She's in the hospital receiving medical treatment. The
10:45
Speaker 1: whole thing has become a kind of morbid farce. You know,
10:48
Speaker 1: the state tried to kill her. Now they're nursing her
10:51
Speaker 1: back to life. We have no idea if she's in
10:54
Speaker 1: a vegetative state or not. Of course, her defense team
10:57
Speaker 1: is already arguing that this whole situation is cruel and unusual.
11:01
Speaker 1: as a way of suspending her death sentence. The governor,
11:04
Speaker 1: Bill Lee, has just suspended executions in the whole state
11:07
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, saying there needs to
11:08
Speaker 1: be a, quote, comprehensive third-party review to determine exactly what occurred.
11:14
Speaker 1: But of course, you don't need a comprehensive investigation to
11:16
Speaker 1: execute this woman. Other than a shovel, all you need
11:20
Speaker 1: is a gun and a few bullets. There's no reason
11:24
Speaker 1: why any execution ever needs to be botched. There shouldn't
11:28
Speaker 1: be and doesn't need to be any such thing as
11:31
Speaker 1: an execution that doesn't work. You're not solving a math equation.
11:34
Speaker 1: It's not a riddle. There are several quick, easy, simple,
11:39
Speaker 1: 100% effective methods, methods that cannot fail unless the condemned
11:44
Speaker 1: criminal is Superman. But as of right now, only five
11:47
Speaker 1: states have the firing squad, Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
11:51
Speaker 1: and Utah. Idaho actually made the firing squad their primary
11:54
Speaker 1: execution method earlier this summer after a botched lethal injection
11:57
Speaker 1: back in 2024. That would solve the problem overnight. Firing
12:02
Speaker 1: squads are, again, 100% effective. Or in the alternative, a
12:07
Speaker 1: short rope and a slightly longer trip off of a
12:09
Speaker 1: raised platform could do the trick. A reliable, tried-and-true method
12:14
Speaker 1: that doesn't rely on complicated cocktails and chemistry experiments. Now,
12:19
Speaker 1: in this case, remarkably enough, Pike actually requested death by hanging.
12:23
Speaker 1: In fact, she wanted an all-female execution squad to hang her.
12:27
Speaker 1: This is from the New York Post, quote, In the
12:30
Speaker 1: event that she is not spared from execution, Pike has
12:33
Speaker 1: made a special request. She wants an all-female execution squad
12:35
Speaker 1: to carry out the procedure in front of witnesses, including
12:38
Speaker 1: the family of her victim. The reason, her lawyer says,
12:42
Speaker 1: is that she has post-traumatic stress disorder from the widely
12:44
Speaker 1: documented abuse she suffered at the hands of men as
12:47
Speaker 1: a young girl, including when she was just two years old.
12:49
Speaker 1: They also say her death by lethal injection will be
12:51
Speaker 1: prolonged and agonizing because she has a rare blood disorder
12:54
Speaker 1: that could find make finding a vein difficult and affect
12:58
Speaker 1: the way she reacts to the drug. So afraid is
12:59
Speaker 1: Pike of the execution being carried out by lethal injection
13:02
Speaker 1: that she took the state to court in August to
13:04
Speaker 1: ask that she be hanged instead. The judge rejected her
13:08
Speaker 1: motion to be hanged since the state of Tennessee claimed
13:10
Speaker 1: they lacked the equipment to hang her. Again, this is
13:15
Speaker 1: a farce. Not a very funny one, but it is
13:20
Speaker 1: a farce. The state intentionally makes it more complicated than
13:24
Speaker 1: it needs to be. I mean, how can you lack
13:25
Speaker 1: the equipment to hang someone? I'm sorry to be crude
13:29
Speaker 1: about it, but, you know, I could run to Home
13:31
Speaker 1: Depot and be back with all the necessary equipment in
13:33
Speaker 1: 45 minutes. I won't even make you reimburse me for
13:37
Speaker 1: the cost. Think of it as a donation. But again,
13:41
Speaker 1: the process is made deliberately convoluted. And it's made convoluted
13:48
Speaker 1: for a reason. The reason we do the lethal injection
13:51
Speaker 1: in the first place, the only reason we do it
13:53
Speaker 1: that way is to sanitize. It's for the benefit of
13:57
Speaker 1: outside observers that we sanitize it to try to make
14:02
Speaker 1: it seem like something other than what it is. There's
14:05
Speaker 1: no reason to do that. An execution is you're killing someone.
14:09
Speaker 1: And that is justice in this person's case and the
14:14
Speaker 1: case of anybody on death row. There's no reason to
14:16
Speaker 1: hide from it. It is simply a method of hiding
14:20
Speaker 1: from what you're doing. Because a lethal injection is not
14:24
Speaker 1: a more efficient way of doing it. It's certainly not
14:26
Speaker 1: a cheaper way of doing it. And it's not even
14:29
Speaker 1: necessarily a more painless way of doing it, as we've seen.
14:33
Speaker 1: It's a way that has all kinds of ways. There's
14:35
Speaker 1: all kinds of ways that that method can fail, whereas
14:38
Speaker 1: these other methods don't. Death by hanging is Over in seconds,
14:45
Speaker 1: very quick, very easy. But again, when you do that,
14:50
Speaker 1: there's no hiding from it. It's very clear that we
14:52
Speaker 1: are killing someone here. You can't dress it up and
14:57
Speaker 1: try to medicalize it. See, this is what we want
14:59
Speaker 1: to do in modern society. We try to medicalize everything.
15:01
Speaker 1: You sanitize and medicalize everything, especially death, especially when someone
15:07
Speaker 1: is being killed. And in this case, you'd be forgiven
15:13
Speaker 1: for being a bit conspiratorial about all this. The Krista
15:17
Speaker 1: Pike case attracted national attention. She had become the latest
15:21
Speaker 1: cause celebre on the left and among feminists. A great
15:24
Speaker 1: deal was made of the fact that she's a female
15:27
Speaker 1: prisoner facing execution, as though it's somehow inherently problematic to
15:32
Speaker 1: execute a female murderer as opposed to a male murderer.
15:36
Speaker 1: And in the midst of all this hysteria, Krista Pike
15:38
Speaker 1: winds up somehow surviving multiple doses of lethal injection and
15:43
Speaker 1: is now apparently recovering in a hospital. You might wonder
15:45
Speaker 1: whether it was botched on purpose. That's not an unreasonable
15:49
Speaker 1: possibility to consider. Botched executions do happen. In fact, in fairness,
15:53
Speaker 1: the planning for this execution involved the same doctor, a
15:56
Speaker 1: guy named Mark Fowler, who participated in a failed injection
15:59
Speaker 1: earlier this year. Under Fowler's guidance, the execution team couldn't
16:04
Speaker 1: establish IV access to the veins of a murderer named
16:07
Speaker 1: Tony Carruthers, taking over an hour. And now it's happened again,
16:11
Speaker 1: potentially with Fowler overseeing this team, maybe an all-female team.
16:17
Speaker 1: She requested that, as we said, the state said they'd
16:20
Speaker 1: consider it. I don't think we'd been told whether they
16:22
Speaker 1: actually did use an all-female team. Now, lethal injection fails
16:27
Speaker 1: about 7% of the time, but the odds of it
16:30
Speaker 1: going wrong twice are less than one half of 1%. Now,
16:35
Speaker 1: it's possible they missed a vein or something, once again.
16:38
Speaker 1: But to my knowledge, Krista Pike is now the first
16:41
Speaker 1: person in recorded history to survive an execution after both
16:46
Speaker 1: doses of the lethal injection were fully administered. She survived
16:50
Speaker 1: Plan A and Plan B. And as you heard, they
16:54
Speaker 1: didn't even have a protocol in place for what to
16:56
Speaker 1: do after that because nobody has ever made it past
16:59
Speaker 1: Plan B. So what are the chances that something this
17:03
Speaker 1: unprecedented just happened to occur during one of the most
17:06
Speaker 1: high-profile executions of the century, and the first female to
17:10
Speaker 1: be executed in Tennessee in 200 years just so happens
17:13
Speaker 1: to be the one to survive the execution in a
17:15
Speaker 1: manner that so far can't even be explained? I mean,
17:19
Speaker 1: you're not crazy if you're suspicious. That's all I'm saying.
17:21
Speaker 1: In fact, consider me suspicious. Female jurors just sabotaged a
17:27
Speaker 1: jury to keep Lindsay Clancy out of jail. Did somebody
17:30
Speaker 1: sabotage a lethal injection to keep a female murderer out
17:32
Speaker 1: of a coffin? It's a viable possibility. Not saying that
17:38
Speaker 1: did happen, but it's a possibility. Until evidence conclusively proves otherwise.
17:44
Speaker 1: Apparently everything wasn't quite expensive enough yet. Marketplace health insurance
17:50
Speaker 1: costs are expected to go up by as much as
17:52
Speaker 1: 15% next year. which is excellent news if you were
17:55
Speaker 1: concerned that you might accidentally have some money left over
17:57
Speaker 1: in 2026. Well, don't worry about that. For everyone else,
18:01
Speaker 1: there's an alternative worth knowing about. Christian Healthcare Ministries, or CHM,
18:06
Speaker 1: is a faith-based health cost-sharing ministry where Christians come together
18:10
Speaker 1: to share the burden of eligible medical bills. Programs start
18:13
Speaker 1: as low as $ 115 per person per month, with added
18:17
Speaker 1: security available for catastrophic medical events. And here's the especially
18:21
Speaker 1: relevant part right now. CHM isn't raising its prices in
18:24
Speaker 1: 2027 like the other guys. So while seemingly everything else
18:28
Speaker 1: becomes more expensive simply because another year has passed, CHM
18:31
Speaker 1: is offering Christians affordable assurance that stays affordable in the
18:37
Speaker 1: new year. If you're looking at what health care is
18:40
Speaker 1: going to cost your family next year, this is worth considering.

18:50
Speaker 1: listen up. There are enough people listening to this show
18:52
Speaker 1: right now that if they don't vote, it could swing
18:55
Speaker 1: key states in the 2026 election to the Democrats. And
18:58
Speaker 1: everyone listening knows every single ultra far left Democratic socialist
19:03
Speaker 1: will be showing up to vote this fall. Democrats are
19:05
Speaker 1: fired up and we can't let them win because if
19:08
Speaker 1: we lose, they'll undo everything our movement has fought for.

19:39
Speaker 1: women who have been gathering outside the prison in recent
19:41
Speaker 1: days to show support for Pike A pike who is
19:45
Speaker 1: a Satan worshiper who, as I mentioned, and we'll discuss
19:47
Speaker 1: in more detail in a moment, brutally tortured. and carved
19:51
Speaker 1: up an innocent woman, innocent girl. So it's very similar
19:55
Speaker 1: to what we saw during the Lindsay Clancy trial. Watch.
19:59
Speaker 6: This is much more highly attended. I have to think
20:04
Speaker 6: maybe what's different is that it's a female and that
20:06
Speaker 6: we haven't executed a female in Tennessee in 200 years.
20:09
Speaker 6: So perhaps that's what has drawn more attention.
20:12
Speaker 2: To this one.
20:13
Speaker 1: You know, remember when the excuse for this kind of
20:16
Speaker 1: behavior was postpartum depression? Feminists said they were defending Lindsay
20:19
Speaker 1: Clancy because she suffered from a mental illness that only
20:22
Speaker 1: affects women and which causes a random voice to appear
20:25
Speaker 1: in their heads, issuing orders that for some unknown reason
20:27
Speaker 1: they cannot possibly refuse. Postpartum depression is Doesn't affect a
20:31
Speaker 1: woman's ability to carefully plan a brutal homicide, but it
20:34
Speaker 1: does mean that they can't be held responsible for their actions.
20:37
Speaker 1: That was a claim. And now, less than a month later,
20:40
Speaker 1: we have the same kinds of crowds gathering to defend
20:43
Speaker 1: a female murderer again. But this time, there's no postpartum
20:47
Speaker 1: psychosis to fall back on. So what's the excuse? Why
20:51
Speaker 1: should we have any sympathy for this person at all? Well,
20:56
Speaker 1: the leftists rallying to her defense can't think of any
20:59
Speaker 1: reason other than the fact that she's a woman. That's it.
21:01
Speaker 1: That's all they've got. Countless headlines have been published highlighting
21:05
Speaker 1: this fact that she's a woman. Every article mentions it
21:09
Speaker 1: as though it's significant on its own. Krista Pike isn't
21:14
Speaker 1: just a murderer set to be executed. She's a woman
21:17
Speaker 1: set to be executed. And this in and of itself,
21:20
Speaker 1: as you just heard from that activist, is supposed to
21:23
Speaker 1: make the execution somehow more brutal or more tragic or
21:27
Speaker 1: fundamentally worse in some way. This is the argument, though
21:31
Speaker 1: it can't be explained or defended by the people making it.
21:35
Speaker 1: I guarantee that woman can't. If you were to ask her, okay,
21:38
Speaker 1: what makes it worse because it's a woman? What exactly?
21:41
Speaker 1: Because if men and women are exactly equal, as any
21:45
Speaker 1: of these activists would claim, then there's nothing notable at
21:49
Speaker 1: all about executing a woman as opposed to a man.
21:52
Speaker 1: And that should especially be the case here, given the
21:55
Speaker 1: details of the case. And the more you dig into it,
21:58
Speaker 1: the more disturbing it is. So let's start with the
21:59
Speaker 1: factual background. I gave you the one-sentence summary of this
22:03
Speaker 1: woman's crimes, but you need the full story to truly
22:07
Speaker 1: appreciate what a depraved, wicked monster this woman is. So
22:12
Speaker 1: when she was 18 years old, Krista Pike was a
22:14
Speaker 1: student at the Job Corps Center in Knoxville, which was
22:16
Speaker 1: basically a government-funded vocational school that was supposed to help
22:19
Speaker 1: troubled kids get a job. Although, as you can imagine,
22:22
Speaker 1: like all government programs, the job center was poorly managed
22:25
Speaker 1: and quickly became a blight on the community with constant
22:27
Speaker 1: criminal activity. Out of the blue, on January 11th of 1995,
22:31
Speaker 1: Pike told a friend that she intended to murder another
22:33
Speaker 1: student named Colleen Slemmer, simply because, and I quote, she
22:38
Speaker 1: had just felt mean that day. The next day on
22:41
Speaker 1: January 12th, around 8 p.m., Pike, along with her boyfriend,
22:44
Speaker 1: was spotted walking away from the job center along with
22:47
Speaker 1: Slemmer and another student. A little over two hours later,
22:50
Speaker 1: a witness saw the group return to the job center
22:52
Speaker 1: without Slemmer. Now, it didn't take long for Pike to
22:56
Speaker 1: implicate herself in Slemmer's disappearance. That night, Pike went to
22:59
Speaker 1: a friend's room and confessed to killing Slemmer, adding that
23:02
Speaker 1: she had brought back a piece of the victim's skull
23:05
Speaker 1: as a souvenir. That's a quote from the Supreme Court
23:08
Speaker 1: of Tennessee from their review of the case. Pike then
23:12
Speaker 1: showed her friend the piece of skull and explained that
23:13
Speaker 1: she had cut the victim's throat six times, beaten her,
23:16
Speaker 1: and thrown asphalt at the victim's head. Pike went on
23:20
Speaker 1: to state that the victim had begged her attackers to stop,
23:23
Speaker 1: but they kept throwing asphalt at her. And at one point,
23:26
Speaker 1: Pike confessed that a meat cleaver had been used to
23:28
Speaker 1: cut the victim's back and a box cutter had been
23:31
Speaker 1: used to cut her throat. Finally, Pike said a pentagram
23:34
Speaker 1: had been carved onto the victim's forehead and chest. Quote,
23:38
Speaker 1: Pike was dancing in a circle, smiling and singing la
23:41
Speaker 1: la la while she related these details about the murder.
23:45
Speaker 1: When her friend saw Pike at breakfast the next morning,
23:47
Speaker 1: she asked Pike what she had done with the piece
23:49
Speaker 1: of the victim's skull. Pike replied that it was in
23:52
Speaker 1: her pocket and then said, and yes, I'm eating breakfast
23:55
Speaker 1: with it. During a class later that morning, Pike made
23:58
Speaker 1: a similar statement to another Job Corps student. Pike pointed
24:01
Speaker 1: to brown spots on her shoes and said, that ain't
24:04
Speaker 1: mud on my shoes, that's blood. Pike then pulled a
24:07
Speaker 1: napkin from her pocket and showed another student a piece
24:09
Speaker 1: of bone, which Pike said was a piece of Slemmer's skull.
24:12
Speaker 1: Pike also told the student that she had slashed Slemmer's
24:16
Speaker 1: throat six times and had beaten her in the head
24:18
Speaker 1: with a rock. Pike told the student the victim's blood
24:21
Speaker 1: and brains had been pouring out and that she had
24:24
Speaker 1: picked up the piece of skull when she left the scene. Now,
24:30
Speaker 1: you might think hearing this that someone would have alerted
24:32
Speaker 1: the authorities. Two students independently heard Pike confessing to the
24:35
Speaker 1: brutal murder of another student who's now missing. And none
24:37
Speaker 1: of these people called 911, apparently. Instead, Slemmer's body remained
24:40
Speaker 1: undiscovered until a member of the University of Tennessee Grounds
24:43
Speaker 1: Department stumbled on the corpse the next morning. The body
24:47
Speaker 1: was so badly mangled that at first the custodian thought
24:49
Speaker 1: he was looking at a dead animal. And then he
24:52
Speaker 1: saw the clothing and he realized what had happened. When
24:55
Speaker 1: investigators questioned Pike, she confessed to the murder at length.
25:00
Speaker 1: She claimed that Slemmer had been, quote, trying to get
25:03
Speaker 1: her boyfriend and had been running her mouth everywhere. She
25:07
Speaker 1: told the investigator that she had invited Slemmer to walk
25:10
Speaker 1: together to a blockbuster store, then told her about a
25:12
Speaker 1: hidden stash of marijuana. And then Pike and her boyfriend,
25:17
Speaker 1: Tatterall Shipp, ambushed Slemmer when they arrived at a steam
25:22
Speaker 1: plant on the UT campus, hitting her repeatedly as she screamed,
25:26
Speaker 1: why are you doing this to me? The attack lasted
25:28
Speaker 1: between 30 minutes to an hour, during which the two
25:31
Speaker 1: attackers forced Slimmer to remove her clothing, including her underwear,
25:34
Speaker 1: and also tied a rag around her mouth to prevent
25:36
Speaker 1: her from talking. They slit her throat several times and
25:40
Speaker 1: stabbed her so many times that the medical examiner couldn't
25:42
Speaker 1: even identify all of the wounds to her body. They
25:45
Speaker 1: could only identify Slimmer through dental records. So this was
25:49
Speaker 1: a protracted, gruesome, savage murder. And there was evidence, according
25:57
Speaker 1: to a medical examiner, that Slammer was alive when most
26:01
Speaker 1: of this was done to her. Two days later at
26:04
Speaker 1: the police station, both Pike and her boyfriend were photographed
26:06
Speaker 1: wearing pentagram necklaces. You know, they both claimed to be
26:11
Speaker 1: devil worshippers. And I think we should take them at
26:13
Speaker 1: their word on that. At trial defense witness, a clinical
26:16
Speaker 1: psychologist testified that Pike was extremely bright. with an IQ
26:20
Speaker 1: around 77th percentile, which, not to be pedantic, is slightly
26:23
Speaker 1: above average intelligence. Hardly qualifying is extremely bright. But the
26:27
Speaker 1: point is that she was not mentally retarded or brain
26:29
Speaker 1: damaged or insane. The psychologist added that Pike had severe
26:34
Speaker 1: borderline personality disorder and signs of marijuana dependence, along with
26:39
Speaker 1: impulse control issues. But that's about it. And after the
26:42
Speaker 1: jury returned a guilty verdict, the defense called Pike's aunt,
26:46
Speaker 1: who described her as a pathological liar. There was a
26:49
Speaker 1: sob story, too. The jury was told that, quote, Pike's
26:52
Speaker 1: mother's home was very dirty and, quote, Pike's mother set
26:55
Speaker 1: no rules for her. Oh, I guess Pike's mother never
26:59
Speaker 1: set the rule saying, hey, don't brutally torture and kill anybody.
27:05
Speaker 1: And since she was never told about that rule, she
27:07
Speaker 1: didn't know she was not supposed to do that. Oh,
27:11
Speaker 1: and Pike's father said he kicked her out of the
27:12
Speaker 1: house twice following an allegation that she had sexually assaulted
27:15
Speaker 1: his young daughter, which is obviously true. Pretty good reason
27:18
Speaker 1: to kick her out of the house. All this to say,
27:20
Speaker 1: Krista Pike clearly deserved the death sentence that she received.
27:29
Speaker 1: It would be hard to point to any criminal in
27:33
Speaker 1: modern history that deserved it more than her. Although there
27:37
Speaker 1: are plenty who have deserved it as much as her.
27:40
Speaker 1: Specifically in 1996, the jury sentenced Pike to death by electrocution.
27:46
Speaker 1: due to the aggravating circumstances, including the fact that she
27:49
Speaker 1: tortured her victim. And Krista Pike herself, in her own words,
27:53
Speaker 1: accepted this punishment at the time. Watch.
27:57
Speaker 5: I killed someone.
27:59
Speaker 6: I sat in this very courtroom with a jury that
28:04
Speaker 6: found me guilty and sentenced me to death.
28:08
Speaker 5: So if that many people.
28:11
Speaker 3: Decided that that is what I deserve, and that that's
28:16
Speaker 3: what my punishment should be.
28:18
Speaker 5: Then I'm ready for.
28:23
Speaker 1: That. This is perhaps the most straightforward death penalty case imaginable.
28:28
Speaker 1: If this Satanist doesn't deserve the death penalty, then nobody does.
28:32
Speaker 1: And that's why, although Pike appealed her conviction and sentence
28:35
Speaker 1: multiple times, the courts rejected every single one of her appeals.
28:39
Speaker 1: And rejecting the appeals would have been even easier... considering
28:43
Speaker 1: that even being sent to prison did not stop Krista
28:46
Speaker 1: Pike's murderous reign of terror. Years after she was consigned
28:51
Speaker 1: to death row, she was charged with attempting to strangle
28:53
Speaker 1: a fellow inmate to death. And years after that, she
28:56
Speaker 1: was convicted of trying to orchestrate an escape from prison.
29:01
Speaker 1: So suffice it to say, this woman is not repentant.
29:04
Speaker 1: She is a cold-blooded, unrepentant killer. But on Wednesday morning,
29:11
Speaker 1: with less than an hour to go until her execution,
29:14
Speaker 1: the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a two-to-one ruling,
29:17
Speaker 1: issued a stay of execution. And this stay was quickly
29:19
Speaker 1: overturned by the Supreme Court with, of course, all the
29:22
Speaker 1: DEI liberal judges dissenting. But we still need to address
29:25
Speaker 1: the question, how could the judges have issued this stay
29:27
Speaker 1: in the first place?
29:28
Speaker 6: Why?
29:31
Speaker 1: What she did was brutal and heinous. She's unrepentant, even
29:35
Speaker 1: if she was repentant. I mean, still, she should be executed.
29:37
Speaker 1: But by the way, she's unrepentant. And she'd already been
29:42
Speaker 1: through a million appeals. Why would you come in at
29:45
Speaker 1: the last minute and say, hang on? Let's start by
29:49
Speaker 1: taking a look at the two judges who ruled in
29:50
Speaker 1: favor of a stay of execution. Here's Judge Karen Nelson Moore.
29:55
Speaker 1: She's a Clinton-appointed leftist who went to Harvard. Exactly what
29:59
Speaker 1: you'd expect. And here's Judge Jane Stranch. She's a Vanderbilt
30:04
Speaker 1: grad who was appointed by Obama. Again, exactly what you'd expect.
30:09
Speaker 1: And here's the lone dissenting judge who ruled in favor
30:11
Speaker 1: of execution. This is Judge Richard Griffin. He's a Bush appointee,
30:16
Speaker 1: and perhaps more notably, he's a man. Meanwhile, the female
30:19
Speaker 1: judges apparently have sympathy for the female murderer. This is
30:24
Speaker 1: what our justice system has become. It's more of the
30:28
Speaker 1: demographic tribalism that has infected our courts for years, which
30:32
Speaker 1: we've documented on the show at great length. If you're
30:35
Speaker 1: a woman, then chances are high that female judges and
30:38
Speaker 1: female jurors, Sir Salton and Clancy, are going to be
30:42
Speaker 1: predisposed to be on your side. They're going to try
30:46
Speaker 1: to invent some absurd pretext to bail you out. The
30:49
Speaker 1: same principle applies when it comes to ethnicity. And race
30:52
Speaker 1: and political affiliation, as we know, Democrat judges help Democrat defendants.
30:56
Speaker 1: Black judges help black defendants. Indian judges help Indian defendants.
31:00
Speaker 1: Mexican judges help Mexican defendants. Chinese judges help Chinese defendants.
31:04
Speaker 1: As we saw in San Francisco recently, when a judge
31:06
Speaker 1: let the old woman get away with killing an entire family.
31:10
Speaker 1: But things get even worse in this case. When you
31:13
Speaker 1: look at the reasoning these female judges used, if you
31:15
Speaker 1: can even call it that, After 30 years of appeals,
31:18
Speaker 1: they're claiming that the following statement, which was made by
31:21
Speaker 1: prosecutors in court during a recent hearing, is grounds for
31:25
Speaker 1: a stay of execution. Here's the statement from the prosecutor.
31:29
Speaker 1: It says, quote, now as for issue two, which deals
31:32
Speaker 1: with Ms. Pike's cited history of sexual assault and PTSD,
31:35
Speaker 1: the state does not dispute the terrible things that Ms.
31:37
Speaker 1: Pike suffered. I think everybody in this courtroom wishes that
31:39
Speaker 1: those things had never happened to Ms. Pike. I think
31:42
Speaker 1: we all wish that we were not here today. and
31:44
Speaker 1: that she was not on death row. Certainly none of
31:46
Speaker 1: us take any pleasure in this, and so it's certainly
31:48
Speaker 1: not the state's intention to try to minimize the suffering
31:50
Speaker 1: that Ms. Pike has experienced, but that's not the issue
31:53
Speaker 1: before the court. That's it. That's all there is. Because
32:00
Speaker 1: prosecutors stated that they take Pike at her word when
32:02
Speaker 1: she talks about these horrible things that supposedly happened to her,
32:07
Speaker 1: the female judges decided that the execution needs to be
32:09
Speaker 1: called off. This is something they'd almost certainly not do
32:14
Speaker 1: if Pike were a man. You don't see this kind
32:16
Speaker 1: of logic often applied to male defendants, at least not
32:19
Speaker 1: white males. But because she's a woman, they're deeply concerned
32:23
Speaker 1: about her PTSD. And a lot of the activists and
32:27
Speaker 1: leftists who have rallied to her cause have brought this up,
32:32
Speaker 1: that she was horribly victimized when she was younger. Which again,
32:36
Speaker 1: first of all, how do we know that even happened?
32:38
Speaker 1: Are we just taking her word for it? She's, by
32:41
Speaker 1: her own family's description, a pathological liar, also a satanic murderer.
32:47
Speaker 1: So literally nothing she says means anything. But if it
32:51
Speaker 1: did happen, it doesn't excuse what she did. As I've
32:57
Speaker 1: said many times, you can have a sob story. You
32:59
Speaker 1: can talk about the terrible things that were done to you.
33:03
Speaker 1: And if you're a law-abiding person, then that will engender
33:08
Speaker 1: you some sympathy. as it should. But the moment that
33:12
Speaker 1: you go out and brutally victimize someone else, your sob
33:16
Speaker 1: story does not matter. You can't sit there and complain
33:21
Speaker 1: about people who victimize you because now you are a victimizer.
33:24
Speaker 1: Now you are a predator yourself. You're just as bad
33:28
Speaker 1: as the bad person who did whatever they did to you.
33:31
Speaker 1: You've joined them. So now we condemn them for what
33:35
Speaker 1: they did to you, but we also condemn you because
33:37
Speaker 1: you're just like them. In particular, they're upset about the
33:42
Speaker 1: fact that previously, you know, the prosecutors had suggested that
33:45
Speaker 1: Pike was probably fabricating the details of her sob story.
33:48
Speaker 1: But many years later, in a hearing, a prosecutor apparently
33:50
Speaker 1: gave her the benefit of the doubt because, as he
33:52
Speaker 1: correctly pointed out, again, doesn't matter whether it's true or not.
33:56
Speaker 1: It shouldn't affect her sentence in any way. Once you
33:58
Speaker 1: start carving pentagrams into people's chests and giggling with delight
34:02
Speaker 1: at the thought of butchering an innocent woman and, you know,
34:05
Speaker 1: showing off pieces of their skull as a personal souvenir.
34:10
Speaker 1: Your personal problems are irrelevant. You know, I'm not going
34:13
Speaker 1: to sit here and defend all of higher education. A
34:16
Speaker 1: lot of it deserves criticism, and that's why it gets
34:18
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism from me all the time. But
34:20
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon University is not the version people are talking
34:24
Speaker 1: about when they say that and when they offer those criticisms.
34:28
Speaker 1: GCU offers more than 100 online undergraduate degrees, giving students
34:32
Speaker 1: a flexible way to begin college or return and finish
34:36
Speaker 1: what they started And these aren't empty promises about accessibility.
34:40
Speaker 1: In addition to federal grants and aid, GCU's online students
34:44
Speaker 1: receive nearly $ 200 million in institutional scholarships in just 2025 alone.
34:50
Speaker 1: What I respect about GCU is that it combines career
34:53
Speaker 1: preparation with a welcoming Christian worldview and the free market
34:57
Speaker 1: system and free and open discourse all together. It's a
34:59
Speaker 1: school that it's not embarrassed to prepare students with practical
35:03
Speaker 1: skills while teaching them to think for themselves. They say
35:06
Speaker 1: higher education is outdated, irrelevant, but at Grand Canyon University,
35:10
Speaker 1: they don't settle for that. They don't settle for the
35:12
Speaker 1: status quo. They shatter it. GCU's accredited MBA program is
35:16
Speaker 1: 100% online and is designed to shape leaders through servant leadership.
35:21
Speaker 1: College is not dead. It simply has to provide something
35:25
Speaker 1: worth pursuing. GCU can help you take your passion and
35:29
Speaker 1: scale your business to serve your community. This is purpose-driven education.
35:33
Speaker 1: Take action. Find your purpose. Grand Canyon University. Visit gcu.edu.
35:40
Speaker 1: The only reason these judges issued this ruling is that
35:43
Speaker 1: they're leftists. And for many years now, leftist judges have
35:46
Speaker 1: been on a campaign to eliminate the death penalty. Stephen Breyer,
35:49
Speaker 1: the former Supreme Court Justice, was one of the pioneers
35:52
Speaker 1: of this strategy. This is from his opinion in the
35:55
Speaker 1: case of Knight v. Florida from 1999. A growing number
35:59
Speaker 1: of courts outside the United States, courts that accept or
36:02
Speaker 1: assume the lawfulness of the death penalty, have held that
36:05
Speaker 1: lengthy delay in administering a lawful death penalty renders ultimate
36:08
Speaker 1: execution inhuman, degrading, or unusually cruel. In Pratt v. Attorney
36:12
Speaker 1: General of Jamaica, for example, the Privy Council considered whether
36:16
Speaker 1: Jamaica lawfully could execute two prisoners held for 14 years
36:20
Speaker 1: after sentencing. Which, by the way, even if we accept
36:28
Speaker 1: that reasoning, okay, that's just an argument for, like I said,
36:33
Speaker 1: execute them in 30 days, get rid of all the
36:34
Speaker 1: ridiculous appeals, and let's get it done in 30 days.
36:39
Speaker 1: I'm on board for that. It sounds like we all
36:42
Speaker 1: kind of agree that dragging this out for 30 years
36:46
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. It sounds like people on both sides can
36:51
Speaker 1: agree on that. All right, so let's make it a
36:55
Speaker 1: lot quicker. And to translate what Breyer said, he's citing
37:01
Speaker 1: courts in Jamaica for their rulings on the death penalty.
37:04
Speaker 1: He's giving Jamaican courts, as well as courts in Zimbabwe
37:08
Speaker 1: and the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations,
37:11
Speaker 1: influence over the death penalty in the United States. And specifically,
37:14
Speaker 1: he's saying that if the death penalty takes a long
37:15
Speaker 1: time to administer, then it's unconstitutional based on what Jamaican
37:19
Speaker 1: courts are doing. So if you're following this, liberals want
37:23
Speaker 1: to string out death penalty cases as long as possible.
37:26
Speaker 1: by guaranteeing as many appeals as they can. And then
37:29
Speaker 1: when those appeals inevitably take a long time, they say
37:32
Speaker 1: you can't execute the criminal because he's had to wait
37:34
Speaker 1: too long and it's cruel to leave someone on death
37:36
Speaker 1: row for so long. So they intentionally make the process
37:41
Speaker 1: long and then use the fact that the process was
37:44
Speaker 1: long as a reason to abolish the death penalty. It's
37:48
Speaker 1: circular reasoning, and he's citing Jamaican law, not the Constitution
37:51
Speaker 1: of the United States, to justify it. As Clarence Thomas
37:53
Speaker 1: put it in response to Breyer's opinion, quote, I am
37:57
Speaker 1: unaware of any support in the American constitutional tradition or
37:59
Speaker 1: in this court's precedent for the proposition that a defendant
38:02
Speaker 1: can avail himself of appellate procedures and then complain when
38:05
Speaker 1: his execution is delayed. Indeed, were there any such support
38:09
Speaker 1: in our jurisprudence, it would be unnecessary for proponents of
38:12
Speaker 1: the claim to rely on the European Court of Human Rights,
38:14
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe, the Supreme Court of India,
38:18
Speaker 1: or the Privy Council. As Thomas and Scalia later wrote,
38:22
Speaker 1: the liberals on the Supreme Court were on a, quote,
38:25
Speaker 1: ceaseless quest to end the death penalty through undemocratic means.
38:28
Speaker 1: They were, quote, replacing judgments of the people with court's
38:31
Speaker 1: own standards of decency. To this day, you have to
38:35
Speaker 1: admit it's an effective strategy. It's how the left is
38:37
Speaker 1: waging their propaganda campaign against the death penalty. And in
38:41
Speaker 1: the case of Pike's appeal, as the male judge pointed out,
38:45
Speaker 1: it's obscene for this woman's lawyers, who are taxpayer-funded, by
38:48
Speaker 1: the way, to wait until the last possible moment to file.
38:51
Speaker 1: They've already filed so many other appeals, all of which
38:53
Speaker 1: have been rejected. And under our law, you don't get
38:58
Speaker 1: to file an infinite number of appeals, unless there are
39:01
Speaker 1: some important new facts, like new DNA evidence or something,
39:05
Speaker 1: then you're out of luck. A prosecutor's statement where he
39:08
Speaker 1: says he feels bad about some alleged aspect of the
39:12
Speaker 1: killer's life is not new evidence. But these female judges
39:16
Speaker 1: simply ignored the law and postponed the execution because they
39:19
Speaker 1: felt bad for a fellow member of the Yaya sisterhood.
39:23
Speaker 1: The fact that she's a satanic murderer evidently Doesn't matter.
39:27
Speaker 1: Nor does it matter to the mob of women who
39:29
Speaker 1: gathered outside the prison to show their support for Pike.
39:33
Speaker 1: We're at the point where every other day a woman
39:36
Speaker 1: receives an outpouring of public support for engaging in unspeakably
39:40
Speaker 1: depraved acts, one which at any other point in human
39:43
Speaker 1: history would have led to swift justice, in some cases
39:47
Speaker 1: in the form of a witch trial. And for that reason,
39:50
Speaker 1: it's well past time that we talk about the scourge
39:52
Speaker 1: of female privilege in this country, which is now completely
39:55
Speaker 1: out of control. And very few people are talking about it,
39:58
Speaker 1: even though it's thrust in our faces every day, especially
40:02
Speaker 1: over the last month or two. It's like they're not
40:05
Speaker 1: even trying to hide it anymore. Feminists who once pretended
40:08
Speaker 1: to believe in the impossible ideal of equality among the
40:12
Speaker 1: sexes are now declaring that in reality, women are incapable
40:14
Speaker 1: of being held responsible for any of their actions in
40:16
Speaker 1: any context, no matter how heinous their behavior is. They
40:22
Speaker 1: sound exactly like the quote-unquote misogynists that they're constantly complaining about.
40:27
Speaker 1: And while in an ideal world, no one would have
40:30
Speaker 1: to take these people seriously, the fact remains that feminists
40:32
Speaker 1: are very well represented in the government and on juries
40:35
Speaker 1: and in the media. And as a result, it's become
40:38
Speaker 1: extremely difficult to punish these women for the crimes they commit. First,
40:43
Speaker 1: we saw nine female jurors refuse to convict Lindsay Clancy,
40:47
Speaker 1: even though it was very clear that she brutally killed
40:49
Speaker 1: her own children. To protect the right of women to
40:52
Speaker 1: slaughter their kids at will, the mob went after the
40:54
Speaker 1: lone holdout on the jury, a black guy who actually
40:57
Speaker 1: cared about the evidence and the law. Then we saw
40:59
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party and every national media outlet come out
41:02
Speaker 1: in defense of a female Cornell student who told the
41:04
Speaker 1: DA in a written statement that she had voluntarily engaged
41:07
Speaker 1: in an orgy at a frat house, only to change
41:09
Speaker 1: her story two years later. Instead of assigning any blame
41:12
Speaker 1: to this woman because of her own conduct, the mob
41:14
Speaker 1: turned its attention toward seven male Cornell students. accusing them
41:18
Speaker 1: of drugging and assaulting the woman, even though she said
41:20
Speaker 1: that never happened. And now feminists are defending a satanic
41:25
Speaker 1: murderer who killed an innocent girl because she felt like it.
41:31
Speaker 1: And there is irony in that, by the way, that
41:34
Speaker 1: the people rallying around Krista Pike because she's a woman, well,
41:37
Speaker 1: she killed a girl. And the person that she tried
41:41
Speaker 1: to kill a few years later in prison was also
41:43
Speaker 1: a woman. Now, as mentioned, part of the reason they're
41:48
Speaker 1: defending Krista Pike is that she was supposed to be
41:50
Speaker 1: the first female death row inmate executed in the state
41:53
Speaker 1: of Tennessee in more than 200 years, which gives you
41:55
Speaker 1: a sense of how difficult it is to actually punish
41:59
Speaker 1: women in our judicial system. So Tennessee hasn't executed a
42:04
Speaker 1: woman in 200 years. Is that because no woman in
42:06
Speaker 1: Tennessee has committed a barbaric crime in that timeframe? I'm
42:11
Speaker 1: pretty confident that's not the case. I mean, you can
42:14
Speaker 1: go fact check me. I'm pretty confident that if you
42:16
Speaker 1: were to go check, you would find plenty of cases
42:19
Speaker 1: in Tennessee of women committing murder. It's also a window into, again,
42:26
Speaker 1: the demographic tribalism that has taken hold in this country.
42:29
Speaker 1: Feminists recognize the possibility that a woman might finally be
42:33
Speaker 1: held accountable for her actions, and they immediately rally to
42:35
Speaker 1: her defense. It's like watching the BLM thugs mobilize whenever
42:38
Speaker 1: a black criminal stabs a cop or tries to pass
42:41
Speaker 1: a fake check or burns down a building. In this case,
42:45
Speaker 1: Pike herself has alluded to this kind of mob mentality.
42:48
Speaker 1: A few days ago, Pike told a newspaper in the
42:50
Speaker 1: UK that, quote, I feel a kinship with Lindsay Clancy.
42:54
Speaker 1: We're both females who got into trouble because of our
42:57
Speaker 1: uniquely female issues. This is another way, again, that you
43:02
Speaker 1: know that she's unrepentant, is that she's saying this kind of,
43:06
Speaker 1: I mean, she's, you know, at this point was days
43:08
Speaker 1: away from what was supposed to be her execution. And
43:11
Speaker 1: she's going to the media. with this woe is me,
43:17
Speaker 1: claiming that she's in trouble for female issues, this is
43:25
Speaker 1: someone who will not accept any accountability for her actions.
43:28
Speaker 1: Even now, up to the point of death, still would not.
43:34
Speaker 1: In fact, by the way, when they carried out the execution,
43:38
Speaker 1: which apparently didn't take, but based on what we're hearing
43:42
Speaker 1: from her statements, And this is at the moment where
43:45
Speaker 1: she thinks she's about to die. All the escape hatches
43:48
Speaker 1: have been closed now for good. And as far as
43:51
Speaker 1: she knows, she's about to die. And still, apparently, there
43:55
Speaker 1: was no real statement of real heartfelt contrition even then.
44:00
Speaker 1: All of her statements even then were still, woe is me,
44:04
Speaker 1: it's all about me. So yes, they both got in
44:10
Speaker 1: trouble due to uniquely female issues. And what are those
44:13
Speaker 1: uniquely female issues? Well, they're both murderers and they're both female.
44:16
Speaker 1: I mean, that's about it. The idea that only women
44:20
Speaker 1: get depressed after having children or that only women can
44:22
Speaker 1: be abused when they're young is obviously completely absurd. But
44:28
Speaker 1: millions of feminists have brainwashed themselves into believing that nonsense
44:31
Speaker 1: as a way of avoiding accountability for their actions. The
44:35
Speaker 1: case of Krista Pike is not complicated. She butchered a girl,
44:38
Speaker 1: tortured her in a remote location, kept a piece of
44:41
Speaker 1: her skull as a trophy. That wasn't even the last
44:44
Speaker 1: person she would try to kill. Her female sex is
44:46
Speaker 1: the only thing that ever made her execution controversial. Executions
44:52
Speaker 1: are rare in this country, much rarer than they should
44:54
Speaker 1: be or used to be, but they're still around 20
44:58
Speaker 1: or 30 per year. Last year, there were, I think, 50,
45:02
Speaker 1: over 50 executions carried out. You don't hear about most
45:06
Speaker 1: of them. Why is that? Well, because activists are extremely
45:10
Speaker 1: selective about the criminals they rally around. Prior to this,
45:13
Speaker 1: The most recent high-profile execution that attracted mass protests and
45:17
Speaker 1: petitions was a guy named Marcellus Williams in 2024. And
45:20
Speaker 1: as you might have guessed from the name, or might
45:22
Speaker 1: remember if you follow the news, Williams was black. And
45:26
Speaker 1: that was very explicitly one of the primary factors that,
45:29
Speaker 1: for the activists, made the execution somehow problematic. Same thing
45:34
Speaker 1: applies now to Krista Pike, because of her sex. But
45:38
Speaker 1: the correct view on all this is that evil people
45:40
Speaker 1: should face the just consequences of their actions. Doesn't matter
45:44
Speaker 1: what demographic cohort they belong to. Doesn't matter if they're
45:49
Speaker 1: a man or a woman, if they're white or black.
45:52
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if they have a sob story or were
45:54
Speaker 1: abused as a child or had postpartum depression or suffer
45:57
Speaker 1: from anxiety or ADHD or restless leg syndrome. Justice means
46:03
Speaker 1: giving everyone what they are due. And if you brutalize
46:07
Speaker 1: and kill the innocent, you are due the ultimate punishment.
46:12
Speaker 1: You have forfeited your right to continue existing. Justice itself
46:18
Speaker 1: is not a negotiable aspect of civilized society. At a
46:22
Speaker 1: civilizational level, and even at a personal level, it is
46:26
Speaker 1: a need, like food and water and shelter. Our ancestors
46:31
Speaker 1: understood this basic reality just as they understood many other
46:34
Speaker 1: basic realities better than we do. That's why they punished
46:38
Speaker 1: evil swiftly and violently and with finality. We've become squeamish
46:45
Speaker 1: about it. That's why Lindsay Clancy is not serving life
46:48
Speaker 1: in prison right now. It's why Krista Pike apparently isn't
46:51
Speaker 1: dead even after being executed. If we want to restore
46:56
Speaker 1: justice to our society, which we must, we're going to
46:59
Speaker 1: have to get over that squeamishness. We're going to have
47:03
Speaker 1: to punish evil people. It's what they deserve. And more importantly,
47:10
Speaker 1: it's what their victims deserve too. That'll do it for
47:14
Speaker 1: the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk
47:16
Speaker 1: to you on Monday. Have a great weekend. Godspeed.
47:25
Speaker 2: Every significant movement in history has started with protesting.
47:27
Speaker 1: You're a traitor! Uncle Tom! This is our generation's civil rights!
47:30
Speaker 6: I have no idea what the protest is about.
47:32
Speaker 4: Bingo!
47:33
Speaker 1: Given the current climate, should a figure as polarizing as
47:36
Speaker 1: Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus? Uh, can you
47:39
Speaker 1: hear me okay? Saunders is a close personal friend of
47:41
Speaker 1: Chancellor Freeman. This is a decision I cannot fight. Islam
47:44
Speaker 1: will conquer the West. As-salamu alaykum. Are we paying attention?
47:52
Speaker 1: They've taken over the building.
47:54
Speaker 2: They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors.
47:57
Speaker 5: I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.
48:01
Speaker 1: We cannot run and hide.
48:03
Speaker 5: Mohammed is the messenger of God. There is no God
48:08
Speaker 5: but Allah.
48:09
Speaker 3: What do you say we turn those SOBs.
48:13
Speaker 1: Into a fine red mist?
48:16
Speaker 3: As we move, one man will cover while the other
48:18
Speaker 3: guys go.
48:19
Speaker 1: They call that leap project.
48:20
Speaker 3: Stretch them out and listen.
48:23
Speaker 1: You need a course in safe weapons handling.
