other than i m the bad guy. giving giving a speech down there. bill: dupnik goes out and says right-wing rhetoric may have contributed to this terrible tragedy, terrible atrocity in arizona. has dupnik ever said, as far as you know, that the death threats against sheriff arpaio are wrong and left wing rhetoric may be contributing to them? has he ever said that? have you ever heard that? no. i never heard that. no. of course that hasn t happened. bill: get my point across here. it looks like selective outrage from sheriff dupnik. looks like it s selective to me. well, you know, once again, i have a job to do, bill. and i m going to tell you one thing, i m not going to back down. i m going to continue to do more they can put that in their pipe and smoke it. bill: all right, sheriff. stay safe. we appreciate you taking the time tonight. okay. bill: next up alicia menendez will react to the controversy.
reporter: yeah, megyn that is the deal here because we just confirmed they had been out to the house prior to the shooting at least twice, maybe more than that, and we just got an email from the sheriff s office telling us they are in the process now of compiling the information, the records, the police records and they ll forward that onto us. that will give us a much better idea of exactly why the sheriff s department on more than one occasion was called out to the house of jared lee loughner. and remember this kind of weaves into exactly what the sheriff knew about jared lee loughner. i want to go back for our audience and play a sound byte, this is from sheriff clarence dupnik acknowledging that he knew that death threats had been made by jared lee loughner before the shooting. listen to this. when you re talking about the threats which i know you don t want to give details of what these other threats were, can you give us a timeframe? had these threats been in recent months?
anything until he does something. bill: until he does something. now he has done it and it s too late. bill: all right. let s transfer your psychiatric insights over to the people who have exploited this for political gain. number one, we established last night that this is just morally repugnant to do that. we have a 9-year-old girl dead and you are trying to make political points. what is their neurosis? well, i m not going to analyze dupnik. he can t afford my rates. i don t want to talk about the psychology of writers who obviously are not psychotic. i think psychiatry has a lot to say about serious mental illness and psychosis. i don t think it has a lot to say about neurosis, which is a term that s not even used. let me just approach them as people who are writing public figures. what they have done is to cynically seize upon a terrible tragedy and to willfully ignore the evidence and use it as a
enforcing the law. bill: all right. i don t know if he is blaming the people of arizona for the murders, but this is what is interesting to me. maricopa county and pima counties are adjacent counties. big counties. you and dupnik are total opposite in every way. explain to the people who don t live in arizona how you can get elected and how he can get elected when you are so far apart? well, i think you have to ask the voters that. bill: you must know though. you must know. well, i don t know about pima county. of course, when i go down there, they demonstrate against me all the time. i don t know i m concerned about maricopa county. so i can t answer that how he gets reelected. i have known him for many, many, many years. bill: has he always been this left wing? has he always injected politics into criminal cases? well, quite frankly, bill, i haven t associated with him that much. i m paying attention to maricopa
name. i don t know if this is politics or not. bill: all right. but you have death threats against you. we know that you have death threats against you, correct? well, yeah. i hate to say that but a lot of death threats and so on. but that s the nature of my job. i m not going to bill: you, a conservative sheriff, death threats against you. has sheriff dupnik ever said hey, leave sheriff arpaio alone, you left wingers? has he ever said that? now, wait a minute, i was down in tucson when one of his top pima county officials had 300 demonstrators cut my head off in the piñata and showed it to all the kids. that was a year ago. bill: was dupnik behind that? was he behind that? i don t know. i didn t see anybody he called me and asked, you know, said if he could help me. i didn t see any deputies there. i didn t see any repercussions
