What this episode covers

Transcript Ryan Wrecker: And welcome back. I'm Ryan Wrecker, filling in for Tara. Feel free to reach me online @RyanWrecker. I just want to talk briefly about the Lindsay Clancy case, and it's such a strange situation we are in as a country. And I saw someone post this online—and you can tell me if you think I'm wrong by saying this, but I saw someone post this online, and they said, "I never would have thought saying that you shouldn't kill your children is a conservative value, because so many people, particularly women on the left, sympathize with this child killer, Lindsay Clancy." And I don't know if the left have adopted the "innocent" mantra of Lindsay Clancy. I think it's just some people. And I can tell you, while the some people are those that may sympathize with Lindsay... I don't know if it's a lot. It's probably a small few. I will just say from my own experiences: I work in a pretty liberal atmosphere, let me put it that way. When I say I work in a liberal atmosphere, I mean I really, really work in a liberal atmosphere. And I have not heard one person bring up a defense of Lindsay Clancy in that atmosphere. So, when something like that happens, normally when there's something like this and it's like, "Okay, the left says this," I hear it from people that I work with because they're pretty far-left leaning. I mean, pretty radically left-far leaning. So when I hear nothing about it and no defense of it, I think, "Okay, maybe this really isn't a left value. This is a pretty terrible thing." And I'm at the point where if I even hear someone say that she shouldn't be held criminally responsible—not necessarily that she's not guilty, but maybe the criminal responsibility side of it was too harsh—I don't even agree with that. I can't even understand that mindset. You ever find this? Sometimes you have these arguments that come up, and you just do not understand the other side of it. For me, there's a few of these things: When someone talks about abortion and they try to justify the murder of these children, I just don't understand the validity of the other side of the argument. I understand you have an argument, I just don't understand the validity of it, okay? I can't look at it both ways and say, "I kind of see where you're coming from." I just do not do that. When it comes to voter ID laws, I don't understand why the other side would think there's a problem with showing that you are a citizen and allowed to vote in U.S. elections before casting a ballot. I don't understand people that have a problem with that, and I don't understand the argument on the other side of it. I don't understand the argument where people say we need to ignore immigration laws and we should have open borders. I do not understand the validity of that argument. And when it comes to a case like this, when you have a woman that murdered her three children, and we're talking about in such a brutal way, I don't understand how you can show crime scene photos of what she did to her own children, look at that, and say "not guilty." I do not see the other side of this. And the fact that there was only one lone juror that said, "No, she's guilty," and they try to make that guy into the bad guy? I do not get that other side of it. I just don't. And people, particularly those that may defend her, these women that say, "No, this is real, and you know, when you're feeling postpartum depression and you feel like you can harm your children during this postpartum depression, then if you act on that, as opposed to seeking help—if you act on that, then you're allowed to be held innocent, criminally innocent"—that's insane to me. No pun intended. That mindset, the way that people defend it, is insane to me. So I wanted to go back to the trial, and I wanted to play something for you, because what you see a lot of times on social media and people pointing out the problems with the prosecution's case, I wanted to play one expert—a psychiatrist who ...
