I'm Georgia Howe with daily wire executive editor John Bickley It's Thursday September 10 and this is Morning Wire The Lindsey Clancy jurors make the media rounds revealing what went on behind the scenes and sparking yet more

1:02Controversy not sure if road is the right word to be at the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsey viciously killed her children Meanwhile her attorney is now trying to get the entire case dismissed and The one year memorial for Charlie Kirk takes place today on the campus where he was killed We look at his legacy and the growth of the organization he founded life goes by like this And I don't want to live as a coward and I don't want that for you either Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire stay tuned. We have the news you need to know The Republican National Convention kicked off yesterday in Dallas with President Trump closing out the night Joining us from the event is our White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olahan. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me So we're a little jealous here because you guys get to be at the daily wires bar and see but we're stuck here in the studio So first set the scene for us, you know, how has it been so far? How's the energy? What's the mood like on the ground? Well, it is very high energy hearing Dallas. It is first of all very very hot the past couple days

2:06It has been I think a hundred degrees both days and the security here is insane So to get into the event alone you have to walk pretty far take a lot of different media routes I'm seeing some of the secret service guys. I normally see at the White House. We're here is a very secure event Because of course the president and the vice president are both here But then all kinds of people that I typically see in DC politicians commentators media you name it and they're all coming in and out of our daily wire Bore and see event where we can host a lot of our our programming and on different shows and it's a lot of fun Are you guys keeping it under control there at the bar and see? We're trying we're trying I think the tagline is to drink conservatively now president Trump has been for the past week Really hyping up this event and he ended up headlining on Wednesday. Tell us about his remarks So in the lead up to the RNC convention We were expecting to hear from president Donald Trump on a lot of the progress that he's made throughout his administration so far whether it's the border

3:06Peace and different nations around the world will war with Iran Different initiatives that he is scheduled in the United States and focused on and we expected to hear him contrast the progress that the United States has made since he took office to the extremism Of some Democrats especially Democrats Socialists and more radical Democrats like a causio Cortez He did get into this a bit. Here's what he had to say on that point. They call themselves Democrat Socialists, but actually they're communist and not Socialists they're long beyond Socialists A vote for any Democrat this year anywhere in the country is a vote to let a small and dangerous group of extremists hold our Congress and our country hostage if they win every bill becomes a ransom Negotiation here's some other highlights from his comments last night if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate both of them because of our economic Tremendous economic success. I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for five thousand dollars

4:19So what about the media coverage so far? How is the legacy media approach this event? Well, that's been really interesting because a lot of legacy media came into this event Trying to say that it would be a complete failure that it would be strange and weird and that no one wanted to go And that honestly associating with President Donald Trump was only a negative for Republicans I found this really interesting because you know from my vantage point of the White House I see a lot of the way legacy media coordinates on this sort of thing and it instantly became apparent to me that there was an effort here To suggest that this R&C was meaningless that is not the case and what I've seen so far It seems like a very important event that's intended to unify Republicans And I think legacy media will see that as we progress throughout the rest of this event But there's absolutely an interest here in tanking Republicans and in suggesting that This R&C which is unusual, you know, you don't have a built-in R&C typically To suggest that this has no point and that Republicans are only digging themselves into a deep for hole Which I think many of us would strongly disagree with now

5:20What do you and the rest of the daily wire team have your eyes on as far as day two Day two we're excited to hear from Vice President Jody Vance tonight And I think one really interesting part of this will be that The Vice President obviously is a very strong contender for the GOP nomination He is considered a front runner for the next presidential election Obviously this is not set in stone, but from what I hear at the White House He is strongly favored Potentially even over Marco Rubio right now even in the president's eyes So a lot of eyes are going to be on Jody Vance when he speaks tonight Excited to hear what he has to say and the vision they will present for the Republican Party on how they can win midterms And then exactly what position he is encouraging them to put themselves in ahead of these elections We guys have a good time at that event don't have too much of a good time Have fun We'll talk to you soon. Thanks so much for coming on. Thanks for having me I have a few items in my wardrobe that I reached for constantly and of course I've talked at length about quince sweaters

6:22But since it's still over 90 degrees here in Nashville I can't not mention linen tops and the one I have on now I haven't had a few colors. It's so breezy so easy to wear in summer And I wear some version of this outfit like three days a week in the summer I have been a fan of quince for years now because they make timeless elegant clothing for such reasonable prices Even though they use high-end materials like cashmere linen silk and leather And the quality is truly comparable to much higher-end designer items for a fraction of the price Plus quince has recently branched out into other types of products like home furnishings Accessories they even have 14 karat gold jewelry now at very competitive prices And they do this by partnering with ethical factories and selling directly to consumers without the middlemen or markups So find the fall pieces you'll reach for most at quince download the quince app for app exclusive offers Or go to quince.com slash wire get free shipping on your order and 365 day returns now available in Canada and the UK as well

7:24That's q-u-i-n-c-e.com slash wire Lindsay Clancy jurors are speaking out after the trial ended in a hung jury last week While her attorney is turning heads with new declarations Host of daily wires that so criminal linden blake is here now with the new information that the jurors are sharing So first linden which jurors have come forward so so far for women of the nine women on the jury Have come forward three together and tie and a kind of group interview on NBC Boston This happened on Tuesday and it's really eye-opening because it kind of peel back the curtain and gave you a look at From their point of view with the dynamics were inside the deliberation room And what stood out to me was how they felt about that lone juror who they also identified as a man You know, we it was never formally identified But the lone juror that was not going with the group on this not guilty by reason of insanity verdict They were calling him arrogant They were saying that he had doubt but he just refused sublight to the law and that

8:25Even when they were given that dynamite charge to go back and see the other side that he would never see for someone else's point of view They also kind of attacked the prosecution too. They said the prosecution came off as cold and lacked Compassion in this murder case where three children were killed now there were a couple of standout moments from this interview that have gone viral Can you speak to that? Yeah, I think one that has really gone viral on technical terms is when they talked about Some of the jurors having a nursing background and then using their nursing background to explain the evidence That is to know no you have to look at what evidence is admitted during the trial and you go off that You don't look at a report and say well from my day back in the hospital from five years ago This would mean this that is a no go and that's where a lot of people were saying this this jury was kind of Tainted there's a lot of times where we thought the jury was exposed whether that be from someone trying to take pictures of them Or other stuff like this and then another part that has gone Incredibly viral is when one of the woman's again describing the lone juror

9:29She said something along the lines of I'm paraphrasing that he couldn't seem to get past the fact that she viciously killed her children And to me It's one of those things where we know this is very complicated case and we're not saying that it is You know black and white, but it was the way these jurors I think that struck a lot of people carried themself on camera. There was a lot of giggling There was a lot of just a lot of at ease for a case as tragic as this Now what do we know about that lone juror? Nothing really he hasn't come forward. They impound of the jury so you can't see it There's been plenty of people including myself wanting to do an interview with this lone juror will he ever come forward? I don't know because we have seen the support for Clancy From the midway through this trial will this person submit themselves to the public? I like these women did I don't know maybe but it's hard to tell at this point. He could end up being a target Yeah, he could now her lawyer Kevin Reddington did make some interesting appeals tell us about his latest attempt to

10:37Defend his client Yeah, so this is kind of what I call an obvious next move for Kevin Reddington He's gonna try to have the case dismissed and he's saying it's on double jeopardy grounds And he's saying that because he was saying the mistrial was avoidable remember Kevin Reddington said no Throw the juror out the lone juror out replaces juror Get back in the deliberation rooms. Let's not have this end in a mistrial He's saying because of that that the prosecution should not be able to try landsy again the chances of this being thrown out Very small But a lot of lawyers have said he could do it because of that one little section About how he was trying to avoid the mistrial and it ended up happening anyways All right, well, I think a lot of people are ready for this story to be out of the headlines a very difficult case to follow Lyndon. Thanks for reporting. Thanks Then dual is now available everywhere in the US You can get in on the sports action no matter where you are

You know, Georgia. I think on the right he's remembered first as a husband and a father of course But also as a campus debater who built coalitions by treating young people as worth persuading Rather than you know writing them off or denigrating them And I think his supporters see a martyr for free speech and faith and you know

12:43What has really not faded in the last 12 months is the personal loss for those who were closest to him So Christian apologist Frank Torek mentored Charlie and he was standing about 25 feet away When that shot was fired and he put it this way the first person I think of When I wake up as Charlie the last person I think of before I fall asleep as Charlie Some people call that PTSD, but I think that's misnamed because it's not a disorder It's normal you should when you see something like that Think about it for quite a while And I think that's true for all of us here at the daily wire Who knew Charlie personally, but who weren't there that day Now turning point is returning to Utah Valley University to commemorate the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death there on that campus What's been the response to that decision? Well, you know Frank Torek is actually going back himself and he said that he sees it as an important thing to do

13:43That it's a way to reclaim a place that's been associated now with something horrific And instead to try to use it for something good So he's already returned to speak there once and today he's going to be joined by Glenn Beck And others for turning points freedom built to last memorial Well, I think that that campus Needs to be reclaimed for something good. I don't think we had a band in any place Just because an evil person decided to carry out such a deed We can go back there and try and bring healing to those people Now there were obviously questions after Charlie's murder about whether turning point could survive without him because he was Just such a force behind it. What does the organization look like now a year on Yeah, you know certainly TPUSA has weathered a lot of conspiracy theorists who have been building their brands by attacking TPUSA Yet by most measurable standards that we can look at it's actually thriving So turning point now says that it has a presence on more than 6200

14:45High school and college campuses. It's also building political infrastructure for the midterms and for 2028 And that includes plans to organize in all 99 Iowa counties So TURRIC says that the organization has seen dramatic growth in campus groups and pastors and donors and he's seeing it up close They've grown dramatically Due to this event. I mean they went from 3000 pastors to 12,000 pastors They increased their campus Groups whether it's high school or college dramatically nobody is going to replace Charlie however Enough people can help to replace him and so Erica is keeping a steady hand moving the organization forward TURRIC told us that when he first saw Erica in the emergency room about five hours after Charlie's murder She embraced him and she told him he loved you Please don't let his legacy die and so TURRIC says that's what he's trying to do Now last question Megan one thing we've seen very clearly over the past year is some increasingly brutal infighting on the right that

15:51In a lot of ways was kicked off by those events, but Maybe we're percolating before how much of a role did Charlie play in holding together the various factions that are now kind of pulling apart on the right Yeah, I think that's one of the qualities about Charlie Kirk Georgia that we've only Really begun to fully appreciate now that he's gone So you know Charlie had relationships across these factions that sharply disagreed on things like foreign policy on the direction of the conservative movement overall And a lot of other issues and TURRIC acknowledges that the movement is still suffering from Charlie's absence Charlie was the coalition builder Charlie could keep Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson in the same room And say to them do you want to get 80% of what you want or 0% There's nobody like that now of course he knew everybody Right And he could be trusted and I think a lot of us who are witnessing that infighting that you referenced wish that he was still with us to build those bridges But TURRIC told us that's why we have to start building these bridges in Charlie's honor

16:54All right, well, we actually have an interview with Frank TURRIC that's going to be airing this weekend So if you're interested you can tune in Megan. Thanks much for reporting.
