Gregg Jarrett: Previewing New Book 'The Trial of the Century'
"The trial of the century what is the trial of the century Which one You know there have been a lot of famous trials that have been dubbed as such by the media over the years The Nuremberg case Julius Ethel Rosenberg the O. J. Simpson double murder case which I covered for 9 months in Los Angeles They pale in comparison to the 1925 scopes monkey trial Because it stake was our cherished free speech rights America was at the precipice there was an effort and it was succeeding to ban books for example on evolution and they weren't going to stop there They were going to ban a variety of science books and other books And in the state of Tennessee they made it a crime for a teacher to teach out of the state approved textbooks a chapter on the cornerstone Darwin theory of evolution Because they feared it would undermine the story of the divine creation in genesis in the Bible Which it didn't Their harmonious and Clarence Darrow was incensed over it So when a young 25 year old school teacher was handcuffed criminally charged in front of the host gal Darrow came to the rescue the greatest trial lawyer who ever lived And he for free descended John scopes It became known as the scopes monkey trial which was derived from an evolutionary misconception that humans evolved from monkeys or other primates I traveled a couple of years ago to the courthouse in Dayton Tennessee where the trial took place It's closed now but buried in the archives of the basement and I gained access was the original trial transcript

No More Corporate Rule in Florida!
"No corporations should be running their own world. They all have free speech rights, and I am a big believer in citizens united. And Disney can strike back if they want at the governor. I'm pretty sure bob Iger is too smart to do that. And I'm pretty sure, Budweiser and Disney did not intend to be in the middle of political debates, which served neither company, nor was it obligatory to do so, and the phrase screw around and find out that's the PG version is what both of them are finding out. Budweiser in a world of hurt. But let's begin with the opening of the governor's press conference if we can cut number 22 governor Ron DeSantis yesterday on Disney. Now here is an example of something we didn't necessarily think we would be needing to do, but it's something that we have to do. We have a government of laws that said, not a government of men, and that includes the law being superior to big corporations, even corporations, as big and powerful as Walt Disney Company. They are not superior to the laws that are enacted by the people of the state of Florida. And if you remember 2022, we had a special session of the Florida legislature, senator commissioner Simpson was the Senate president at the time, some of these members were there, where we said, you know, this idea of one corporation having its own government in Central Florida is something that is no longer in the best interest of the state of Florida. So we put down the marker that we were going to be going in a different direction. And a lot of people didn't think that would be anything that would even be possible given how much heft and how much power that this one company had withstood. And so my mantra was, you're not going to have Disney have its own government in Central Florida. They're going to live under the same laws as everybody else. Pay their fair share of taxes and honor the debts that they've accumulated over these years. And so we then had to, as we are getting into this calendar year, put the finishing touches on, okay, what does that look like? How do you bring that vision into a reality? And there were certain things you could have done. I mean, for example, could have just said, you know, just dissolve the district and let the local governments take it. The problem with that is like the local government here in Orange County was very clear. If they had to assume the bonds, they were going to raise people's taxes. And that was totally unacceptable. We were not going to make people in Central Florida pay taxes for Disney's debts.

All Eyes on Trump
"What do you think in terms of the media circus and who will you trust assessing the indictment? Listen to you. I think for those of us from Los Angeles in particular who remember the O. J. Simpson trial and not just the trial, but the OJ and the white Ford Bronco as before they were able to pull them over and bring them into custody. I mean, this is exactly what it reminds me of. And I was talking to somebody yesterday about Republicans appearing to flock to Trump, his support goes up. I'm like, well, I don't know if they realize there's any other candidate in the race. I mean, we've got a camera's on Trump. Trump's house, we have cameras on his SUV going from his house to his plane from his plane to his other house, from his other house at the courtroom, and we're going to see this today. So there's nobody else they're talking about. And until, you know, there is coverage such that people are presented with options. Almost reflexively, they just choose the option available to him. I have no interest really in the trial, but it's part of my job to cover it. And, you know, we'll just have to see exactly how the DA lays out these charges, the indictment, and I'll have to listen to legal experts about all of this stuff politically. You gotta pick your legal effort. Thanks to calm down.

O. J. Simpson Reacts to Alex Murdaugh Murder Trial on Twitter
"And incidentally, you want to talk crazy? How about O. J. Simpson? Let's play a little bit of this. I know you can't stand to hear much of it. Does this not sum up where we are in the world as a culture that O. J. Simpson is making Twitter videos, opining, opining about the Alec Murdoch. Guilty verdict? O. J. Simpson? Who got away with murder? Hello? Listen, I'll play a little bit of this for you. This is OJ. He's apparently got a big Twitter following. How many followers does he have, Derek? I mean, who would watch this freak? This man, this another monster, and I guess it takes one narcissistic psychopath to know another one because here's OJ's hot take on the Alec Murdoch verdict. Hey, Twitter world is meet yours truly. Well, a whole lot of people asking me what I think about this Alex Murdoch trial, I don't know why they think I'm an expert on it, but I got to admit, when he took the stand, a guy who's in a bitch will lie. I did watch when the trial first started, I watched him take the stand and I thought it would probably a mistake because the guy is an admitted liar and it's hard for me to think he can be on the same 5, 6, 7, 8 days. All right, stop it. Turn it off, turn it off. Because obviously what of course what he's trying to do is say, because OJ never took the stand because he's a coward and a gut, a gutless monster, he couldn't take the stand, they would have torn him to shreds. Just like he tore Ron Goldman and his wife is ex-wife to shreds. He promised if I ever find you with another man, I'll kill you.

Brandon Comments on the Charges Brought Against Memphis Officers
"Made a video about the Memphis police charges, height yesterday, and I put it on my YouTube channel. And some people are just completely stupid. I'm shocked at the stupidity of the average person, I think. Y'all are special. Just know you special. If you don't think you special or anything else, if you got common sense, you are a special breed of a person. I made a video about the charges just giving my honest opinion about the challenges that I see in some of these charges when it goes to trial. Some people are so ignorant that somehow they think that because you get charged with something you're going to be convicted of it. You understand that there's going to be a defense to these officers unless they all plead guilty and it doesn't appear that they've played guilty. So there could be a defense and O. J. Simpson did not get convicted of murder. I'd like to use O. J. Simpson as an example. Just because you get charged with, just because the public believes you should be charged with a particular crime, doesn't mean that when you go to court is going to end up being that way. And I told people like this from the very beginning, told people, and I tell people all these cases, I go and I evaluate what I perceive and then I evaluate what the law says and how it could be applicable or not in the court of law.

Will the Kari Lake-Katie Hobbs Trial Be Televised?
"Another question, Carrie, is this trial going to be televised or is it behind closed doors? Will it be a private or a public trust? That's a good question. We're working to try to get its stream because there's so much interest in the approach. I want to see what's going on here. Who wants to watch every minute of this trial? The streaming of this through the county has been shockingly bad. They can't even have a dial in. I mean, I don't know if any of you guys try to call the conference call line. So we're working to be able to we're going to turn the cameras. There's going to be like a white Bronco on the 60s. That's Katie Hobbs. This will be the most watched trial since O. J. Simpson. Katie Hobbs and the white rock. It's a trial of the century. Now, a lot of people don't believe that. A lot of people don't believe that, but on our side, people who care about election integrity because everything rests on election integrity. Yes. Well, I can tell you this. We've been talking about the RNC a lot. You're just with Harvey Dylan. I just endorsed her. I know you were just on stage with her. She's wonderful. But the Republican National Committee has to build the strongest legal team that we've ever seen because this is the tip of the spear. What you're doing without enough support. I mean, we have not given Kerry Lake enough support. I mean, I just want to make this very clear. The Republican Party has not given Carey Lake enough support. This is what I've been screaming about all through this election. Arizona did not get enough support. This is guys, this is what's going to happen in all 50 states if we don't figure this out.

America Deserved to See the Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Televised
"Of course we got the Ghislaine Maxwell's situation, and this is perhaps the most bullshit ever. This could be the trial of the century second only to O. J. Simpson. Naturally, the Jeffrey Epstein trial would have been all that and a bag of nuts, but we didn't get that because, well, either he was killed or he killed himself, but he's gone. So then you get his second in command, his gal Friday, his right hand man, Ghislaine Maxwell, I mean, I make jokes about this, but these are two people who are involved in sex trafficking, pedophilia. You know, we can't, we can't act like, oh, well, they just like to get laid and this is an awful thing these two are involved in. I can't believe we, as Americans, are not able to see this trial. I can't believe there's nobody streaming this trial. Hulu? Amazon, Netflix? Nope, Disney+, perhaps? After all, it is about kids. Can anybody? I know they can't. I'm just saying, I know the judge says, no, we're not getting any no cameras in the courtroom. So all you're going to get are people who come out of the court at night and talk to quote unquote journalists who are folks standing in the street with a microphone or an iPhone and go live. You've got to search these people out. The one correspondent, the one journalist you need to hear from regularly throughout this trial would be Vicki ward. She's somebody that has written extensively about Ghislaine Maxwell. She knows everything about her. I don't know if she's in the courtroom, I would assume she is, but we're not gonna get to see anything. And it's a shame, I think yesterday are two days ago, the first day of the trial, some people spilled out of the courtroom and talked freedom fires is that there's an Instagram page, freedom, fires, they've got this woman on the street, really interesting black woman named Joe. She's good, she likes to get information out about what she's hearing. I don't think she'll be back in there after she kind of spilled her guts as to what this looks like. So they're probably gonna deny her access, which is really a shame. We were supposed to know about this. This can't be held in a dark room with no light is shined upon it. It ain't right, man.

Chris Rock Is in Hot Water for His Nicole Brown Simpson Joke
"The other day changing subjects, Chris Rock. We haven't heard much from for a while since the whole smack with Will Smith Chris Rock made a crack about the 1994 murder of Nicole Brown Simpson during some comedy set and Phoenix last weekend. And he said something like, you know, the academy asked him to come back and host the Oscars and he was like, no, I wouldn't do that because it would be like asking the call to go back to the restaurant where she left her sunglasses before she and Ron Goldman were murdered by a mystery man with teeny tiny hands. They didn't find it funny. I think it's great Nicole brown's just a Tonya really got mad. You know, and that was a chance to really light into Chris and tell him how bad and how distasteful it was and she got a hold of TMZ and, you know, and she said, you know, this is his crack wasn't just on funny. It literally doesn't make sense. It kind of does. She said he claiming getting slapped at the Oscars to a gruesome double homicide is apples to oranges and she thinks it's lacking in logic and a bad connection.

Why the Left Sees Clarence Thomas as a Threat
"So there's a few subjects that I want to talk about. You know, I was going to start out with O. J. Simpson, but I think that's too hot for the audience now. We'll get to OJ, but I want to hear from you, Larry. About your always nice to hear what kind of comments O. J. Simpson has. What if Jonathan Smollett think? Exactly. Probably the two least people with credibility on Planet Earth. But I wanted to talk to someone a little more serious because I wanted to bring you on a talk about what's happening to clarence Thomas, because I think the all out racist attack on clarence Thomas is despicable. And I wanted to hear your thoughts Larry on what they're doing to such an honorable intelligent, great, respected man, now that roe V wade has been overturned. Well, it isn't just roe V wade, although that's the latest reason that they're jumping up and down about clarence Thomas. But they've always hated clarence Thomas. He refused the narrative. So do you so do I? These are proud black men who do not believe that America is systemically racist. I do not believe it's a major problem facing America anymore and refutes the whole left wing narrative. The whole left wing narrative is that America is full of racism. We need to have things like critical race theory and all sorts of special handouts and privileges for black people because they won't be able to navigate through America because America has so many white races in it. So somebody like Claire and Thomas is a direct threat. And so after this case comes down, by the way, he's not even the one that wrote the majority of the decision. It was a who wrote it. But he's the one getting all the flag.

AJ Has Seen No Sign of Physical Abuse From Johnny Depp
"Want to talk to you about the Johnny Depp trial. This is what this whole show is going to be about. I said some things a couple of days ago about it. I felt a certain way. And now as we're in this thing for a week, it's become apparent to me that there are things that are being broadcast and there are people saying certain things about the man on trial that simply aren't true. I was a journalist during the O. J. Simpson trial. I've never seen anything like this before or since. But this amber versus Johnny trial is getting so crazy. Now obviously nobody died, all right? So, you know, mentioning that it's close to the O. J. Simpson trial seems trivial, but it has all the odd glamour and all the for lack of a better word, juiciness that attracts people to watch. And I'm going to tell you, I've never gotten so many emails and texts and direct messages from people in the know. This is a story that I myself have gone down endless rabbit holes to get toward the truth. And by the way, if you want to see, if you want to see what this woman does on Instagram, you need to follow the Instagram page called house inhabit. Oh my God. Oh my God, is she on top of this thing? It's amazing. But I've got to tell you, and there are people who disagree with me. Yeah, I saw him slamming fucking kitchen cabinets. I saw him pour the big glass of wine and say, do you want to see crazy? This is crazy. I've been that guy. But so far I've seen no evidence of physical violence taught Amber Heard from Johnny Depp. All they show is someone who had a problem with drinking, obviously doing drugs isn't good. And writing text messages that weren't nice, but that's not the same as somebody physically abusing someone. Physically abusing.

And today, Brian Simpson, comedy special, the stand up season three available right now on Netflix. Episode one of season three. Well done. Right, welcome. What's happening? I left out loud a lot during your, did I see that? Was I looking at the Netflix thing? I send you the Netflix thing as well, but we first started with David Spade cliff. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, I want to talk to Brian. I'm ready for that. That's good. But I was telling Brian that today I have diverticulitis, which is this thing I get like every 6 months. It's like having appendicitis on the left side instead of the right side. It needs a surgery, but I've been avoiding it. It's like peritonitis, localized peritonitis. And it doesn't help me. So your colon, can you show me a picture of diverticulitis? Well, I'm guessing divert divert is the root word. No, no. I don't know why the diverticulum is I think the operant part of it. Show a picture. So you can see here. Yeah, keep going. You got to blow one up for us. Give us a diagram. Yeah, yeah. No hold Jesus Christ. I hope I'm not doing that. It shows how bad it can get. Anyway, there are these little outpouching. The do you see the kind of there? Yeah, yeah, okay, so those little outpouchings along the side of the colon on the right. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, some people develop those. And we don't know why they develop they're sort of genetically programmed. And they can fill with debris and start to become abscessed and get infected and leak in the leak goes actually in your abdominal cavity so you get peritonitis. It's good, right? Why is debris such a hilarious word? Do you tell me you're the comedian? Debris is a good word. So that's me. And so I have to take all these antibiotics and it makes me weak and it's just nothing funnier than that, though, a little diverticulitis. And it's recurring. I was just thinking as I drove up here when I had colonoscopies on a regular basis. But three years ago, guy looked at me and went, you're going to have to have that surgery. It's surgery. You've got to get the surgery done. And I was like, fuck you, I'm gonna take it. Yeah, of course, he's right. Why are doctors the hardest ones to convince? Because it's kind of like you know how to push the envelope. It's like, that's why you attorneys do such shady stuff. They know right where the line is. And a doctor, you know right where the line is from a health standpoint, too. I know I'll do poorly. I do horrible after surgery. It just destroys me for weeks and weeks, weeks. I don't want to deal with that. Anesthesia destroys me. I don't want to deal with that. But this thing is driving me crazy every 6 months. I'm just laid out for 5 days. How many times do I have to do that before? I'm like, all right, enough enough. Let's talk about you. Where'd you grow up? I grew up in PG county, Maryland. Where is that? PG county. It is the, it is the part of the southernmost part of Maryland that's wrapped around D.C.. Got it. And how did comedy happen? Well, that's a whole other thing. Comedy happened because from the military. I joined the Marine Corps. And that the usual course to comedy. No, no. Military actions, hysterical. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the short sweet stories that I was a foster kid. We had multiple homes or just a one or no multiple homes. I moved at least. What is that? I look at people that are resilient like doing great like yourself. And I hear that history and I go, I don't think I'm built for that myself. It would have destroyed me. I mean, there are long term you have stuff. Things, yeah, because trust. Tries to trust. I think trust bleeds intimacy issues. A 100%. But you know it. You know, yeah, but it doesn't make it. Even you know, you can know something intellectually. Yeah, yeah. But not feeling emotion that's exactly right. And sometimes it's like no matter how close I feel to somebody. After a while, I'm just like, I need you to get the fuck away from me. Yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah. And that's sort of what happens with abandonment, right? You can't get that close because the vulnerabilities to intense. Exactly. But it's a weird thing where it's like you know that the closeness is what you need and you fight to get there, but you're so used to the opposite that the closer you get, the more unfamiliar it is. It is. Yeah, it's terrifying. Yeah. And by the same token. So what people normally do is they go after people that are not available for a close relationship. Or like you said, you get in and then you end it and then you're like, this thing's too good. I get the fuck out of here. Right on the money there. Yeah. Yeah, there are the therapies designed to treat that are not that tough. I mean, they're not like difficult or anything. And they may take a while. I mean, I've done the cognitive, so when I first moved to LA, I was in a homeless shelter for a couple of years. It was for veterans only. Or something? Yeah, it was on sunset and they make you do these. They call them group sessions, but you have to do them. Depending on your level of privilege, do X amount. Where you earn it. Right. Will you earn doing less of them? I need some information. So you were in the marine for how long?.

Concerns Raised Over $60 Million in Black Lives Matter Funds
"BLM also known as Black Lives Matter has been raising over the last couple of years, a great deal of money. And the question is, where does all that money go? Now, this is not just a question that I'm asking or that conservatives are asking. This is a question that's being asked by a lot of black families that claim to be victims of police brutality who thought that the whole point of BLM was to raise money for them. But now they're realizing that no, the whole point of BLM is not that at all, the whole point of BLM is to make money for its organizers. Recently, a local BLM guy contacted the national BLM to see if they could help him out. And it turns out they couldn't help him out because Patricia calores the nominal one of the nominal leaders of BLM was doing a corporate co sponsorship with ugg, ugg is the ugg boots the California boot company, and she's like, oh, I'm too busy to come to your protest. I'm actually gonna be doing making some videos with ugg. To promote the product and demonstrate their solidarity with the with BLM. Patricia calories is also busy with making book deals. She has got a production deal with Warner Brothers. The money here we're talking about is big. The BLM group has raised more than 90 million. Since 2020. And if you look at its finances, you discover that they've given yeah they've given 21 million in grants, they've got 8 million in operating expenses, but you know what? The other 60 million is in their coffers. It's unaccounted for. And some of you know, BLM really started with the Ferguson Missouri riots. And interestingly, in Ferguson itself, you've got the you've got the parents of the Ferguson victims, and also two women named Lisa Simpson and samaria rice. They're apparently their sons were also involved in some police violence. They realized that the money is not going to add to them, to any of them. And so they issued a statement.

Joe Rogan Apologizes for Repeated Use of N-Word in Old Videos
"Hello, Friends. I'm making this video to talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly. There's a video that's out that's a compilation of me saying the N word. It's a video that's made of clips, taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together, and it looks horrible, even to me. Now, I know that to most people, there's no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word. Never mind publicly on a podcast. And I agree with that now. I haven't said it in years, but for a long time when I would bring that word up like if it would come up in conversation and instead of saying the N word, I would just say the word. I thought it was wrong. So it kind of gets into this whole dilution of how to use the word. I remember that conversation years ago. It all changed with the O. J. Simpson trial. It's an ugly vile word, but when the word was used repeatedly during the OJ trial, the N word became part of our vocabulary. There's a whole bunch of other offensive words that are used, but that's a word that's a deal breaker. So be it. And Rogan is saying that. Rogan saying, I should never have ever used that word. And I have it in a long time. So the question then becomes, is that apology is that owning a mistake from his perspective, valuable or not? Matt

The Hebrew ad you've shacked up with. Jubilant almost sounds like a superhero, though. For some reason I'm imagining a cape, star of David in the center of your outfit. But I was like, it's also like, oh God, drew boy also sounds bad. You know, so I was like, so I was like, I can't engage with you boy, but of course the first thing I did was screen grab it and show it to you. And you did think you did tell me it should be a T-shirt. Yes. The whole the whole time. The whole text should be a T-shirt. Yeah, that's good. All the chaos. Listeners, would you enjoy that? A T-shirt that's just a text from Naomi's 90 year old Nigerian grandmother. It was very tender. T-shirts, by the way, Naomi. Oh, baby. Good holiday present would be a couples therapy T-shirt, a Jew boo. Boo. Proper spelling. Proper spelling. Two different styles. You gotta break vibe and you got the classic O's, our bagels and the W's a minora. So how whimsical do you want to be? That's the question when you make this purchase. You got to miss a bitch t-shirts. We got all the t-shirts for your holiday needs. All the teas for your holiday needs. In the literary and our social media bios. Speaking of holiday needs, I believe there's a little something you guys are gonna need to do this kwanza. Yeah. All right, this kwanza season. What day of kwanza specific? The fourth day, ujima, which I do believe is collective. Not collective work and cooperative economics, I believe. Ujjayi cooperative economics, which honestly may work, the cooperation. Would that be called socialism? Possibly. On Wednesday, December 29th, you can watch season three of the standups on Netflix. Your girl is episode two. Okay, so if I ain't in your queue, you better add it to the cube, and I want you to watch my half hour special on Netflix. We need the numbers. We need to go viral. We need to create a cultural moment. We need to go viral. You know, we need to go back to sound like a character in an Aaron Sorkin show. We got to go viral. Studio 60. Is that here's hurricane? Yeah, the one that didn't last. Exactly. So, but I just want people to watch, you know, I feel like it was great. I was there, again, obviously, I'm biased. Because I love you. But even if I hated you, I would have to, I would have to admit watching that being like, damn, that was a gosh darn. Gosh, darn, good set of improv. I'm stand up. So I just hope that, yeah, I hope it translates. You know, and I think all the listeners of CT, they know the journey that I've been on with this and putting it together in two months in a pandemic, trying to be the best, get it together. You can not hold my makeup against me y'all. I told you what happened with my makeup, especially if you own Patreon. So I wanna hear just focus on the content, focus on the content, baby girls, okay? Because that's what I have. But yes, December 29. I think that day on Patreon will do an episode where we watch it and give a behind the scenes commentary, right? Oh yeah, the page is always getting the inside track. We're always pulling back the sit curtain of showbiz. Speaking of the stand ups Naomi. Our guest today. Now we did this is what we did. We tried to do a couple episodes. Leading up to the release of the standups on Netflix, December 29th. Is that at midnight on the night before? Probably. With some of your fellow stand ups from that. So this week we have Brian Simpson. Yes, indeed, Bryan Simpson is so lovely so funny. Recently named one of vulture's comedians, you should and will know in 2021 and quite frankly, that's the fact 'cause he about to be on Netflix. So you can and should, no. This is great. We recorded this a couple months ago because we thought the status were coming out in October. That was what was supposed to happen. Absolutely. And Brian, it's super at the actual at your actual taping afterwards. We're standing outside. He came over and introduced himself. I know. He's like a nice friend. Look, you guys are in here, but his life, you know, it's so interesting. And he's so open. And we love it. Okay? So I say, let's stop pussy footing around and get to Brian Simpson. Roll it. How you doing? What's going on? What do you feel inside? I'm feeling good, man. I'm feeling I'm feeling relieved. I have taken the week off just to decompress. And.

Have mercy from wolfman jack. That's my story and i'm sticking to it anyway. Wolfman jack changed the energy in that car. Joe took a break from dabbing. The blood oozing from his head wound took a few pools of whiskey. You pass the bottle back to junior. Who was already buzzed from the sleeping pills at buried fed them back at the hotel to hear berry tell it. They were having a blast. Where cracking jokes. When the car we were all drinking as much fun as berry says they were having. I suspect his passengers might have been a little more anxious than he realized. Joe is probably wondering when barry was going to ask him to climb back in the trunk runoff into the blizzard. Again and as cool as junior was playing things he must have been at least a little worried that these guys were killing me. I mean whatever they were up here. They sure didn't seem like experts. Whatever each man's motivation fund fear of frostbite as they white knuckled it down. Those snowy mountain passes on some level berry knew that they were in a heap danger with every hairpin turn but in his mind. There was a silver lining. at least they weren't strangers anymore. That was like we were three guys on a road trip but eventually the booze ran out and the party die down junior started asking him when i was going to let them out and i said well i can't let you out here you freeze to death so when we get down to sacramento we'll let you out near the airport and then we'll get back on the freeway and get lost in the traffic and so forth and so he was okay with that.

"Your pants at the end and you were signed up by your stupidest brand and for some reason your nipples hurt but that doesn't mean you can stop running it. You can't ever get yourself to a point where you think you're beyond what happened because you're never beyond what happened. Amy what's your primary focus. Now my primary focus now is my work with the rebels project. Unfortunately our services will be needed forever. We have to prepare for this. I mean look at what happened in boulder it fourteen thirty hours. The boulder police department began receiving phone calls of shots fired in the area and a phone call about a possible person with a patrol rifle. We know of ten fatalities including one of our border pd officers. My heart goes out to the victims of this incident. I'm grateful for the police officers. That responded and i am so sorry about the loss of officer tally. We have one suspect in custody. I want to reassure the community that they are safe and that we will try to do our best over the next few hours to identify the victims. This is not the first mass shooting that we've had in the state of colorado. These were people are going about their day doing their food. Shopping and their lives cut of roughly and tragically short or feels like a bubble and the bubble bursts. And that's to think that people died today. It doesn't feel like there's anywhere safe or sometimes i nearly killed for getting a soda and a bag of chips. My first thought was. I wonder how raw that is for. Amy and for the survivors of columbine. Did you feel that in particular because of its proximity to where you were victim it was very raw and it brings back memories especially watching all the footage on tv and watching the news. I couldn't stop watching it my wheel start spending where i'm like okay. We've got a lot of survivors that are going to be in our club that need help that are going to need services. King super is is colorado's grocery store. I went to the grocery store. And i was on alert. There was a guy that came in. He was walking really fast but he had abandon on. Instead of like a normal mask. My body got like hot and and my heart started racing. And i was looking out for a shooter but you also said that you went into action mode and i haven't yet to me any of the survivors from the boulder community yet but they know that the rebels project is there for them. So you were a lifeline. No matter what their experience was or what stage of emotional turmoil therein even if mass shooting stop today. There are survivors. That need help. The rest of their lives after the funerals are done after. Everything's done that's where the real work happens when survivors ready to connect with another survivor. That's where they come to the rebels project and we connect them to services. We connect them to mental health services and just connect them with other people in our support group. And how do people reach you. You can reach us at the rebels. Project dot org. You can find us on instagram facebook. You can find me on facebook. It doesn't matter if they're ten years out of their shooting or six months. They are welcome anytime that they're ready to start their journey.

These people are a group of people that i can connect with share my stories with share my everything with and i know they're not going away. They're always there for me but the complications in their lives. It's it's so interesting to hear about how it affects every relationship. And then i mean you think about how upsetting that is and then listening to all of you laugh together. We have a funny sense of humor. All of us have like kind of a dark sense of humor but we laugh about it. But we're comfortable talking with each other about things as long as we're together we can talk about hard things and come out of it. Okay i was thinking about the woman who's related to both the shooter and a victim. I can't imagine what that emotional burden is like. I can't either. And i didn't know that about kelly until that night and that was shocking and she has just been such a great addition to the rebels project and i love working with her just her as like a mother. I i don't know what it's like as a mother. Having my kids go through a school shooting. So i mean. I commend kelly and everything that she goes through on a daily basis sending her kids to school. You know. I have fears of a mass shooting happening to my children but it hasn't actually happened. Kelly has gone through that physically. Her kids were there at the stem school. Shooting in highlands ranch colorado. So this is. The last episode in the series series has been almost a year in the making. So what does the experience been like for you. I knew you were gonna ask me this question and you never know how to fully prepare for it. But i've been working on this series for a year. It's been so positive light to be honest with you. It's been emotionally draining at times and hard. It's not easy to hear someone. Tell their story whether it's kate baton. She's in law enforcement but everyone thinks that law enforcement should just tuck their trauma. You know inside a box or tuck it away. Tuck it under a rug and kate batons a human being that literally saw the thirteen dead bodies named them. Now all of them carried those polaroid pictures around with her every day because she wanted justice to be served for all of those victims. It was really hard to hear stories like that and to try to go to sleep that night and not have the images in my head. But i also had days and moments where my heart was full where i got to meet with my basketball team and i got to reconnect with those ladies on parenting and good old times. You know it takes a person of extraordinary strength to go through what you've gone through to twenty years later. Try and explore it again. You had no interest in being a media personality. But i think we all learn so much. I think he did service for a lot of people in doing this. You know nancy. It's really hard to put your heart and your soul out into the media because there's going to be criticism and i'm i'm scared of that. I'm scared to put my whole story out there for everyone to hear but i think it's going to help others. You went through a lot of ups and downs with your mom during this process. You were upset with her in the beginning and then you told us she was sick and that you will resolving lot of the issues between you two issues that Sort of revolves around the fact that she didn't give you the support you needed at the time hush mom doing. And how are things between the two of you. My mom is still battling stage for colorectal. Cancer the medication. She's on right now is currently. I have a feeling they're going to pull her off of it and They probably will stop treatment. So i've kind of found that out today. I'm so sorry. So they don't want her taking her chemo medicine that she's she's been on but my mom and i are in a really good space right now. We're really close. We talk every single day. I just talked to her this morning and she knows that i needed more support. And that's something that she regrets. But her and i had good talks about it and i feel like we're in a really good space. I feel like our whole families in a really good space. Just taking care of my mom and making sure that she has everything she needs and brother's been amazing. He lives in washington state.

You know the came to america and got shot alleged but like why would that even be. I'm just gonna assume that this guy was like this is a turn on for me. That would be on for me. I have a really hard time with trying to date people. Because i did serve dating someone right before the pandemic started but in a weird way like even though i really liked him. I was kind of like relieved because for me. It's not just that my kids were in a shooting at said i'm related to a shooter and so that's a whole other story that i don't really i try to think to myself. Like how can i avoid talking about that. Just brings on a whole other level of but don't really vulnerable awkwardness. I think it's like so shocking. That people really just have no idea how to process it. Your husband amy and my husband's had a fight me like a guy. Yup seriously like i'm crazy. I've been married for eighteen years. And he is literally. Like i said he scooped me up when i was literally at my lowest point of my life and he has stuck by me and it has not been easy for him. It is not an easy to married to me with my ups and downs. And all my faults that i have just as a normal human being but then you put a mass shooting on top of it. Then i have. I rings god damn we are dragging piles and piles mcgregor landfill of garbage and it's continuous to it's absolutely trashed every relationship i've ever been in because eventually i'm too crazy to deal with. I didn't really deal with any of this until about ten years in and we had already been married for probably five of that. She knew i was a columbine survivor. But i we never talked about it. And then ten anniversary came and i became a technical term for it is public it. I wasn't functional. I could barely exist in head to get help. But i didn't really realize that i had a problem with it. So that really probably ended the marriage. She just kind of sick of and we all have mini breakdowns. From time to time to where we need to get checked up on. And i'm lucky to have this awesome support group that i can lean on but she really just got sick of me leaning on other people besides her. It's hard to lean on somebody when they don't have that same experience. One of those thinking about is that does this attract you to the wrong kind of version because it does for me.

"Have you ever had someone tell you like what they would have done. If shooter would have come into the school or or wherever you were at. Because i've had people come in and tell me like well. Why didn't you do this. Why did you hide under the table. you should have. You jumped out the window. Or i should have. You're right oh my god night would like to tell you about how. It sounds to a survivor. When they're like well. I would have done this. I would've tackled the guy. And i would have exactly so first of all. I'm super happy that you would have saved the day and saved all of your friends and all these people. But i it i hit and i'm super sorry that i wasn't all gung ho about like whatever ever it is some people even mean. Well like like. Why would have done this. Trying to engage in the conversation like maybe their hearts are going to say in the right place but they're trying to engage with this story that they have no way of really engaging with no and the only thing they have. Are these weird hero fantasies of what they would have done. So wanna what do you think about this. I would've tackled ground. And i would have had this but the reality is when you're putting this situation you don't know what the hell you're going to do. This is this is fighter flight. You are trying to save your frigging life and in the aftermath. And i can't put a timeline on it but i'll put my line was like at least a year. That is what. I thought about f ing night every night when i tried to go to sleep. I thought about what i could have done what i should have done what. I didn't do what i could have done better. So when you're saying that to someone that's a nightmare for us the. Because i had nightmares about that what. I should have done what i could have done. And so when you're like i would have done it. It's like you know what. I'm super glad that you would have done that but i did it. I was a coward. I was a all these.

"Land in what are you. Go ahead and get started. Tell me something about great. You have to drag him. My brother were the same age so year younger than myself and they became best friends instantly in first grade and any of us that know greg know-how talented of an athlete. He was and how disciplined committed. He was so he quickly found himself exceeding whatever the expectations at his age. And before you know it. He's playing a year. So greg and i got to play together ever since we were probably in third grade all the way up through high school. Did he challenge you a lot. When i think of work ethic all these years later still leading greg inspire and motivate and push myself and that was that was because of the work ethic and the discipline that he had from the time he was a very little kid. Greg's family well. Man greg's dad was like a second father to grown up and it's funny. He grew up in pueblo. At greg's father did as did my mom so my mom was all mark was such an amazing athlete. So we had so much history. Do you remember meeting greg for the first time. Well yeah. i've got so many stories but we used to have sleepovers. I'm in literally almost every single weekend. And greg did not have an ounce of body fat on him so we called it the cherry poppers 'cause he would show us his bicep and from the time he was little. This thing was basketballer made. It looked like something you'd see on a grown thirty year old man who had been training whole life and we'd put a little cherry tomato in between his forearm and his biceps and he would squeeze it pop the thing and we thought it was the funniest and the coolest thing ever so he and my brother were up to antics all of the time. I always viewed myself. You know who you're older. I'm more mature. I don't have time for that stuff. And they would ch- just do whatever they could to get my blood going so that i'm chasing them around the house and those were are sleepovers. That's funny. He was becoming such a well-known basketball player in the state of colorado and he was so humble and well-mannered how do you remember him quiet and reserved off the court. I mean like the kindest most compassionate person the biggest heart but a wallflower. Don't let the spotlight beyond me at all. Just let me go and serve others and do so quietly. I don't want the attention. Put him on the court and he was as as all get out. I mean i'll never forget like watching my senior year junior year. Him go between the legs. Hake somebody down the baseline and just slam on this. And i'm thinking this is the same innocent kid. We would be trading sports cards and getting together and having sleepovers. And he's now cradling on the rim over somebody else's head like and then you get them back off the court again and he did not want any of the attention. Any of that spotlight. It was back to just being the best student he could be in the classroom. The best friend he could be the best son he could be the best brother for something to this day that i admire so much about him being able to juggle manage both so well on and off the court so it sounds like you guys had a blast playing together. We traveled everywhere together. I mean that was the the most fun part staying in hotels kids and being a part of a traveling competitive team and you ask what our favorite tv show. I don't think any of us knew anything outside of espn and he was super close to your little brother. I remember walking in through the front door and again teenage boys. So i'm giving them a hard time because that's a walk in the door. Both of their belts are on the ground. And unlike what are you to in here doing well. They had taken them off so they could slide on their bellies down the stairs to the basement and they were cracking up. When you talk about greg barnes even my brother for that matter like the innocence was unbelievable because he could be a thirteen year old but had the innocence of like a seven year old and it was the simplest things that would get a rise out of greg. I'll never forget going jet skiing with them and him being scared of that these going to get injured on the jet. See so it couldn't go play basketball and us pulling down his pants and he doesn't want to let go so he's got his little bony cheeks bouncing across the back of the jetski hanging on for dear life through doesn't get injured and can't play basketball. I love it. That's so awesome. I can only hope that my son has experience like what you guys had. Greg went through a lot on april twentieth. Nineteen ninety nine. He was stuck in the room with dave sanders for hours. Did he ever talk to you about the struggles of that day. Yeah i mean. Shoot amy you and i both know what the next few weeks look like writer whose whose funeral after funeral and i felt like the sun didn't come out for those next three weeks and then as you start to try to process what does life look like moving forward and we found ourselves right back in. The thick of it was summer league and preparing for that next year. Here we are best friends and wanting to do the same things. We had done our entire life and always taken for granted and fourth of july rolls around. Greg wants nothing to do with being social. He doesn't want the sound of the fireworks. He doesn't want the smell of the fireworks. he's wanted to completely be left alone to do his own thing to process everything that he was still going. Through due to everything he'd been exposed to on april twentieth. And you're right. I mean he right there up close and in person with some of the most just raw rawness. He tried to save dave's life. Yeah for hours not knowing what anything else look like. Outside of that class from there was one focus and that was destroyed to save a life forever haunted him. What do you think was going on through. Greg's mind just knowing greg and who who was there was always so much humility and so much gratitude. And i think his outlet was basketball so everything that he didn't know how to process in his mind or emotionally. He took to the court and that at least provided some relief for the short term. And i also think it's what drove him to take his game to another level because he realized that he had been afforded an opportunity to see another day and put his best foot forward when others couldn't and so i think it catapulted the dedication and commitment but deep down there was still unknown as to. How long are these feelings gonna last. How long am i going to struggle with some of the stuff who else would even understand and so when you're put on a pedestal and you're expected to always just have things figured out and always get into always have an amazing game and always be amazing friend. You become hardwired where you accept..

"Here's the first paragraph chicks dig greg barnes and why not. The kid has a nice arsenal basketball skill. That includes huge ups. Good defense and a shot that rips nylon from all angles and rangers after the columbine spectacular victory over westminster last thursday. Barnes who roasted westie for thirty three points found a crowd. Immediate eager for thoughts in one spectator. It wanted his phone number while an autograph and a kiss on cheek. Maybe rare after high school match must be stressed that this was not your standard prep game and that girl was from west minister gave him phone number. Greg didn't know how to act about that and then was awkward. That one great spent too much time playing basketball to have that dole friend relationship. I wonder if the trauma from the shootings and the expectations for him to perform on the court were overwhelming. It's a lot that could have been an issue because who's average twenty six points a game and it's like that's pressure alone in itself so i think on the basketball side of it. Yeah there there. Was that that part of it. Dave sanders in whole incident. It's just so hard to know how that impacts kids. I know it did with gregg. To what level. I have no idea. It's still just to motion for me. Can't imagine.

"This is a difficult topic for you please take care when listening. I went to fourth period and it was pretty normal. We just had an assignment for an essay. That was do that night. So i was writing my essay and of a sudden i heard loud banging it was just one bang and then suddenly after multiple things in my mind the entire time i was very confused and i wasn't having a normal reaction as other people were so i was kind of like making jokes in my head and giving my friend looks and i was thinking to myself. Oh this is just a drill. My classmates were very shocked and prying being quiet. After a few of i would say the first round of shots there was walking and then a jiggle on my door non and in my mind i was like oh. It's an administrator. That's their heels. They're walking to the door. They're checking to see if it's locked. Luckily the door was locked. We would find out later. Was the perpetrator. He was the one who jiggled on our doorknob and he walked away. And all of a sudden it was like people. Screaming next door classrooms and saying help us help me. We heard of screaming. And that's when. I was getting very concerned. I just distinctly remember looking at one of my classmates. She looked at neath straight in the eye and she started like bawling. Something is really wrong. Mrs not okay. And then the police came to our door and they said open up. Its police banging on her door. So the glass smash and they opened the door. We put her hands up and as we were walking out it was a very close walked to the door to exit. And as they're going out the police officer saying keep to the last keeping last look to the left. And then i look to the right. There was two bodies on the ground in a pile of blood which was very upset and shocking. Then.

"Figured the dave can handle our first day was basically taking pictures so that we could identify all of the victims. That was actually two boys that had cut school that day and went to denver and they didn't even know about the shooting so we actually had two extra missing. Oh i didn't know that a lot of people don't. I think that their parents didn't know whether to beat them or hug him when they finally came home. Oh my gosh. The the bodies were left overnight. That was super hard. Yes as crime scene processors. Once you change that scene it's changed forever and the less that you change it the better. We are being able to figure out how it happened. the angles of shots. Once you move them you lose that forever and we were able to get them all out on the twenty-first but it was a very slow process because they took pictures and measurements but we could later literally put a person exactly where they were and we did as a matter of fact wearing tie back suits as part of our reconstruction and we could only do that because they were.

"We're walking down the main hall from the front door and we see a bomb squad guy at the far end on the west interns. They notice that we're there and they're screaming at us telling us the scene isn't safe. There's bombs everywhere so we had to go back the way we went feeling like idiots and then we decided to walk around the back to the parking lots to find out. When can we come in. So we'll walk into the parking lot and we're standing there thinking that we're a safe distance saying hey when can we go in and the bomb guy. Start yelling at us again. And they're like you're standing next to a bomb and we were standing next to harris car in. It was right around ten thirty eight pm. I think that The bomb squad was lowering. Some of the pipebombs if they had found into the bomb truck and one of them exploded. And that's when the powers that be said we are not getting the school tonight. It's not safe. Everybody has to go home. See went home. That night didn't want to but we did. Did you just feel the way to the world on you or did that come years later. I think that it was. I was too busy to watch all the coverage. Watch all the news and all the craziness but my job especially in the very beginning was just that scene and the following morning we all showed up at the school and five of us walked into the school so that we could just assess the situation when we walked in the library was the first place that we went because we knew that that was where the worst of it was and the very first table that i came up to. I saw a young girl. Long brown hair wearing jeans and boots and a short sleeved blouse and i couldn't see her face and i took a picture of her ms before digital cameras. So i had a polaroid an on the polaroid. I wrote in chirpy number one.

"Eighth ten steps down. The science hall was where mr sanders passed. And then we literally were less than catty corner to the library so we were right there so we heard every everything. They were extraordinarily happy that they killed mr standards. They seem ecstatic that they had killed the teacher. It was barely audible because the guns were so loud but you could definitely hear them. Cheering them trading the fuck. Yeah between each other. They were reveling in what they were doing. We were paralyzed with fear. A wonderful wonderful woman probably saved my life and all our lives. Her name was mrs miller. She was a science teacher. Miller ran over the other. Paneling exploded and she said you guys get in and get down. She risked her own life to save us. And so we ran back in listening to the dolt authority as it was and then we jumped back in the office space and shut the door and then we barricaded down for what felt like fifteen hours picked up the phone in the office that we were trapped in talk to my mom and i told her trapped in. I don't know what's going to happen. And i had to make sure he told i'm had to make sure i told my mom. I love there because i was a teenager. I wasn't insane. It was probably more typical. Than i than. I actually think but my friends are wild animals. I'm a wild animal. You know. I definitely enjoy myself in. There is a wada growing pains between myself and my family and i. I needed them to know that. If i didn't make no matter all the bullshit i loved them so i need them to know that i was trapped in the school for roughly four hours and we were very close to the library and the sounds of what was going on was everywhere. We heard the entire massacre. We heard gunshots all day. Long no realize perpetrators were dead. Wasn't thirty minutes night spent decades thinking. I was absolutely insane proclaiming that i heard gunshots all day long but because this was new because no one knew how to handle it. The swat team was clearing corners by shooting blindly. Down quarters is see if they can encourage someone to return fire related. Note someone else's there. How did you guys pass the time while this was all going on. you know. it wasn't all scary and miserable. We smoked cigarettes in the roof. We've we've lifted the panels and smoke cigarettes. We took one of the ceiling panels and pulled down found a permanent marker and and all names down that just in case the shooter's found us. They knew who was in there. It wouldn't be too hard to identify bodies you know. It is what it is but a girl was a diabetic and so we had to make our way out into the room and get her her her glucose tablets and her because she wasn't going to make without that seem rule also peed in our teachers thermos but adamant in another young lady. She may have been a virgin and she was like adam. Not gonna die a virgin. It's really dark. And we have a coroner so i mean there was you know we we were kids. We were seventeen eighteen now. You knew one of the shooter's right. I'd known dylan my whole life. I'd known him since. I was six years old. Not only do we go to elementary school together. My dad's meant his life in oil and gas in dylan's dad his Phd carrying geologist. And so he made his living working for specific companies but also freelanced quite a bit and geology. When you're drilling into the ground is is a very important thing. Okay so your dad's each other. Yeah and so knowing dylan my whole life. I probably had talked to him in about two or three years. But i ran into dylan and robin at rum and just being the moment and being fun and in trying to be you know tied to everybody. I said he dylan by de got into college. Congratulations you know. Enjoy man because frankly probably would never talked again any in this low grumbly voice. Yeah we'll fuck see and then rubbing anderson is just staring down and let any just kind of turn on a pivot and walked away and i was like katie by dates name was katie and was like katie. Can go fucking punch him in the face. Wouldn't you know just trying to be nice. And she was like let it go. He's an asshole. Illan state the girl who stared down. Zach was robin anderson and she was to play a pivotal part in the shootings at columbine. She was a good friend of the perpetrators and since she was eighteen. And they were not robin agreed to purchase two shotguns and rifles at a local gun show. That's straw purchase provided three of the four guns used in the mass shooting. She was never charged with a crime. It's always been a thing for me to know that those were the last words exchanged with him and he alluded to. The fact is about to do something absolutely terrible. It haunts me that there was a plan. That whole time problem was my last time as zachariah that anybody that makes me emotional zakhar tired. I in that school prom nate. Where was your sister. She was the algebra room and she made her way prematch right out. Thank god so what happened next. What did you do after you got out as remember really really quiet ride home. I was seventeen and my parents hated the fact that i smoked cigarettes and they were always at my but about it. What do you need them. A he's a pack of cigarettes was like. I will never do this. You only to do for another ten days be eighteen. So yeah and i got my mom and my mom was upstairs just in her bedroom in the bathroom and she said she was just praying. I said mom. I'm here and i'm safe. And she grabbed me into just fell apart zach. I blocked out a lot of things when i ran out of that building. Do you remember seeing some of the victims when you're finally rescued you saw danny right. I knew danny was gone. Yes i saw him directly because on our way out we ran past his body. Danny rohrbach was one of the murder victims. He was shot down on the sidewalk outside the cafeteria. With two of his friends dan his body was left lying there for twenty four hours zach.
