Dhs oh boy says Border patrol agent 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: fired a defensive shot after a driver linked to trend 17 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: Aragua try to run over federal agents. Another vehicle attacking 18 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: officers situation, this one I believe non fatal in this year, 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: but another another time bullets fired and this one an 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: illegal gang member. And guess what in Oregon where this 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: happened specifically, I think it was southeastern Portland, which if 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: you want a sense of the zombie apocalypse, my understanding, 23 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: Clay is, you can go to downtown Portland day or 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 2: night and you'll see it. 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: It's down there. That really mentioned this too. 26 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: By the way, on Portland, we need to get out 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: to Portland at some point. We've got a great affiliate there. 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: I know a lot of you feel like you're behind 29 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: enemy lines. 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: Buck. 31 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: On the context of what would an impact of the 32 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: zombie apocalypse like Portland create, Portland was all set to 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: get a major League Baseball team. Now Salt Lake City 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: is going to get I really believe the major League 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: Baseball expansion team might sound like a small thing, but 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: since COVID and the drug overdose allowance and all of 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: the collapse of downtown Portland, they have effectively we started 38 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: to lose big symbolic things such as a major League 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: Baseball team, and now Salt Lake City's gonna get it, 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: just because Utah is not as crazy as Oregon. Sorry 41 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: to cut you off there, but I do think that's 42 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 2: sort of a representative sample of how lost the city 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 2: of Portland has become. 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: So we've got that story to dive into. 45 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: We've got maniacs and fully Square where I remember fifteen 46 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: years ago covering the Occupy Wall Street protests for the Blaze, 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: they used to gather and fully Square often some of 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: the offshoots of that protest movement, leftist maniacs play. They 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: were chanting, quote christin Nome will hang end quote. That 50 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: is a very stupid thing to say, and certainly a 51 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: stupid thing to be chanting on video, threatening violence against 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: a cabinet official, a federal agent, that is. But it 53 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: gives you a sense of the kind of people that 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: show up at these protests. We'll discuss that Trump's saying. 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: And I believe this was on a This is A 56 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: with our friend Shawn last night, right, it was on 57 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 2: Hannity Show. 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: I'm just seeing the headline here. 59 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: Trump's saying that the United States is gonna conduct strikes 60 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 2: against cartels in Mexico, not to be confused with New 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: Mexico clay in Mexico, which is that's gonna get spicy 62 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: if we start doing that. 63 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm not saying 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: it's a good thing. 65 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's gonna get interesting if we start 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: trying to take out serious cartel members. And look, they've 67 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: been poisoning Americans for decades. We got that Clay, We've 68 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: got Chuck Schumer throwing ice under the bus. No surprise, 69 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: they're more on the woman who was shot in Minneapolis. 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: She was an Ice watch warrior is what they call this. Yah, 71 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: She's an activist and she was trying to obstruct law enforcement. 72 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: That's become clear. I actually wanted to throw this into 73 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: the mix though, just as a little bit of a 74 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: changeup ties into Minneapolis. 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota. 76 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: Clar Scott Bessant, one of the all stars of this administration, 77 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: has done a really good job both in the messaging, 78 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: I believe, and on the policy side. And there's some 79 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: really there's some reasons to be very bullish about the economy. 80 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: Listen to the Secretary of the Treasury, who is a 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: very serious, very smart guy who can read a balance sheet, 82 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: understands macroeconomics, understands finance at the highest level. Listen to 83 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: what he says is the scale of straight up fraud 84 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 2: with taxpayer dollars at stake in this country. 85 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Play cut one. 86 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: I think that this may just be it's cold dale outside, 87 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: so this could be the tip of the iceberg here 88 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: in Minnesota, but it's probably may not be as prevalent, 89 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: but the dollars may be bigger and larger in other states. 90 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: And just to put this in perspective for American taxpayers, 91 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: for American families, the GAO, the General Accounting Office, believe 92 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: that there is somewhere between I mean three and six 93 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: hundred billion of annual fraud, roughly ten percent of government 94 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: spending that disappears due to fraud. If we can recapture that, 95 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: that is one to two percent. 96 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: Of GDP. 97 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 2: Clay up to six hundred billion dollars of fraud annually. 98 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: It's wild. 99 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: And what he said there is something that I think 100 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: you need to start to focus on. I think we're 101 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: gonna get phenomenal fourth quarter GDP numbers. Uh Now, partly 102 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 2: the GDP numbers are out of whack in the post 103 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: COVID era because they shut everything down, then they opened 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: everything back up, and so I really think you kind 105 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 2: of have to toss out the twenty twenty twenty twenty 106 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: one numbers because they're a mess. But there are some 107 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: whisper numbers out there that we're gonna hit five and 108 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: a half percent GDP, maybe even six percent GDP in 109 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. That's unprecedented levels of economic expansion. If 110 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: we could hit five and a half or six percent 111 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: of GDP as we roll into now the new year, 112 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: because obviously the numbers are looking back in terms of 113 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: catching up. We're talking about budgets getting balanced in potentially 114 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: rapid fashion because the overall tax rates that are brought 115 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: in in conjunction with the tariffs and everything else. It's 116 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: unprecedented the amount of growth that we could potentially be 117 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: able to be firing on all cylinders associated with. So 118 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: this is a number that I would tell everybody out 119 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: there you should be paying attention to. I would also 120 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: say this stock market continues to hit record highs. Stock 121 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: market tends to look about six months or a year 122 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: into the future. Wall Street is expecting twenty twenty six 123 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: to be one of the greatest years economically that we 124 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: have seen, maybe ever in the history of the nation. 125 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: And you mentioned this, and I think it's important to 126 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: go back in time to February. 127 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Of twenty twenty. 128 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: I would argue February of twenty twenty is the strongest 129 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: economy this country has ever had in the history of 130 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: its existence. And then COVID happened. If COVID hadn't happened, 131 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: we were headed for unbelievable numbers. I mean, if you 132 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: go back and look at the GDP growth, if you 133 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: look at tiny inflation mortgage rates that were basically non existent, 134 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: I think we are setting up for a incredible Trump 135 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: boom that a lot of people are not recognizing is 136 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: going to happen. One of the challenges that I think 137 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: of a communication perspective that the Trump team is going 138 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: to have in twenty twenty six is it takes a 139 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: while for people to feel the ground moving in a 140 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: positive direction economically for them. And I understand that, and 141 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: that's particularly the case in the wake of the disastrous 142 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: economic policies of Joe Biden. But you can seem out 143 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: of touch when you say, hey, things are getting a 144 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: lot better better and people say, well, wait, I don't 145 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: feel it yet. It takes a lagging indicator for people 146 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 2: to feel how good the economy was. And it actually 147 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: took to about twenty twenty, twenty nineteen and Trump one 148 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: point oh buck for everybody out there to suddenly say, 149 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: wait a minute, this economy is on fire. I really 150 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: am super optimistic that we are headed for that. As 151 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: long as we can keep China from dropping a new 152 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: remix virus back into the economic creation. 153 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: Let's certainly hope. 154 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: So, speaking of foreign situations, Iran is heating up right 155 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: now internally a lot, and there's footage that's circulating of 156 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: big protests in the streets. Now, maybe this goes you know, 157 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: I'm very generally wait and see about all things Iran 158 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: because we've been waiting and seeing for I'm trying to do 159 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: the math in my head. 160 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: Right, forty years forty basically. 161 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, forty years forty years of any day now, any 162 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 2: day now, and not really, but there are indicators that 163 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 2: the regime is under tremendous pressure. I would also note, Clay, 164 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: remember when the Obama administration was in power and we 165 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: were told the only way to pacify the Middle East 166 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: and to calm things down with some grand bargain that 167 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: allows Iran access to international banking, relieve sanctions, lets it 168 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: continue traditional ballistic missile research and get close, very close 169 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: but not quite at a nuclear weapon level of nuclear research. 170 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: Remember all that that was completely insane and wrong. 171 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: I mean the more importantly it was wrong. I think 172 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: everyone can see this. 173 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: We blew up the Iranian welld the Israelis and then 174 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 2: US blew up the Iranian nuclear reactors. 175 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: No World War three broke out. 176 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: There weren't mass casualty terrorist attacks all over the world. 177 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: Going to Sunni Arab Muslim allies in the region. 178 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: Like, yes, I know things have changed a lot since 179 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: nine eleven, but places, whether it's the Saudis or the 180 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: Jordanians or any and all in between. To box Iran 181 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: in was actually a smart strategy that being basically clay. 182 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: Being nice to the Mullahs is an idiotic idea. They 183 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: are bad guys doing bad things, and the only way 184 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: to deal with them is pressure and pain from policy. 185 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 2: There's no concessions we make that make them nice. That 186 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: was a delusion that the Obama and Biden regimes instituted. Yeah, 187 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: and look I was reading again. It's kind of hard 188 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: to see what's going on in Iran right now because 189 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: they have completely shut down internet and cell phone access 190 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: basically in the entire part of the country, and we're 191 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 2: moving up on thirteen days of consecutive protests which seem 192 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: to be growing there. It's all fueled by economic anger. 193 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 2: The rate of inflation has gone through the roof in Iran, 194 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: and effectively their currency is valueless, and that is a 195 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: direct result of the pressure that President Trump has brought 196 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: to bear economically on that country. And buck, I think 197 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: it's even worse than what some people said, this will 198 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: cause World War three. Thousands of American troops will die. 199 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: That's what a lot of people said would happen if 200 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: we attack their nuclear capacities. It's actually not just that 201 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 2: they were wrong about the awful results that might ensue, 202 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: it's that actually it made us all safer. It actually 203 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: was I think the prerequisite of there being some form 204 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 2: of safety in the Middle East. In other words, you 205 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: had to eliminate that danger from Iran and the theocratic rulers, 206 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: the Ayatola and company being able to have nuclear weapons 207 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: in order for there to be peace capable of breaking 208 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 2: out in the Middle East. And remember, remember this is 209 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: super significant. Pay attention to what people do, not what 210 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: they say. Most of the countries in the Middle East 211 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 2: actually supported Trump's strikes on Iran. The Saudi Arabia, is, 212 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: the Uaes, the Qatars. They may say publicly, oh, this 213 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: is unacceptable. Privately they're all saying to the United States 214 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 2: and even Israel through back channels. Hey, we support you 215 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: on these attacks. We're all about this. We will get 216 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: into more of this and also the latest from the worst. Certainly, 217 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: I think we could say the worst mayor in the Midwest. 218 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: Oh no, Brandon Johnson. I was gonna say, Jacob Fray 219 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: has got fry. Sorry, I think he d worse. I 220 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: think he may be worse than Brandon Johnson. 221 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: And this is tough. I hate to say it. It 222 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: is a tough call. You know. It's like what's worth 223 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: so a heart attack, get it hit by a car. 224 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: I don't know. They're both really bad. These guys are 225 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: both really bad mayors. So it's it's a tough call. 226 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: But we'll get into what's going on with the Ice situation. 227 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: I think they're going to run out of steam on this, 228 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: and I think a big part of it is there's video. 229 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: The video show is what happened. The ICE agent had 230 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: already been attacked and dragged by someone in a. 231 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: Car doing something like this. 232 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: Uh and as you point out, how was a trained 233 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: aggressor who wanted to provoke a reaction. Her partner was 234 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: filming the whole thing like this was a setup. She 235 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 2: didn't expect it would go this bad, and certainly we 236 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: don't want anyone to die. We're anti death on this show. 237 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: And she's white and deranged. Leftists just can't get that 238 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: upset about stra a white person being killed. It's just true. 239 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: I mean, that's there. It's their moral failing, not all. 240 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 2: They're the ones that make this distinction. Like I think, 241 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: it's just terrible if a human being is killed under 242 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: you know, the under circumstances where they should fancy death. 243 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: We want long as possible. It's a strong take here 244 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: for the start of the Friday show. We're antibody. We 245 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: don't have more than us who disagrees with us on 246 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: that one. We do not like people losing their lives 247 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: for no good reason. So but we don't make distinctions 248 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: based upon skin color on that the left does. For 249 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: for a leftist in America today, if a black person 250 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: is killed in a situation of any political implication or consequence, 251 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: it is far bigger, a far bigger deal to them 252 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: than when other people are killed, just the truth involving 253 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: law enforcement. 254 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: That that is the way that it is, as we know. 255 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 2: Just look at all all the BLM BLM, BLM doesn't 256 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: get upset unless it's a person who is a person 257 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: of well, a black person specifically, not just a person 258 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: of color. 259 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: So that's why I think this is gonna fizzle out 260 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: a bit in the days ahead, but we'll see all right. 261 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: Look, families that own rapid radios are ahead of the game. 262 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: These are modern day walkie talkies that keep us all connected, 263 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 2: particularly when you're impacted by a service disruption.

But here's 297 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: cut three Brecastal of the Daily Wire interviewing a woman 298 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: at a protest. 299 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 4: I'm just walking here. I'm kind of just dayside because 300 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 4: I got it. I was like, I don't know if 301 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 4: it's the rightything to do. It feels kind of wrong 302 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 4: being here in some way. I don't know why. Yeah, 303 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know, like where that sentence from, Like, 304 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 4: I don't I mean, part of it is being like 305 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 4: a white woman that I'm privileged, and I have a 306 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 4: lot of privilege. So I feel like white tears are 307 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 4: not always something that's helpful or necessary when black and 308 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 4: brown people have been experiencing this for a long time. 309 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: I just these people's brains are broken, Buck, But it's clay. 310 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: It's like Marxist jargon, which I go. 311 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: Into some detail about in my book Manufacturing Delution, coming 312 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 2: out in about a month. 313 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: This is trained, like she's been trained to speak this way. 314 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 2: No normal person says, I don't think that white tears 315 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: are what what do you see in the concept of 316 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: white tears is not something that a normal person. It's 317 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: not a phrase that exists. The black tears exist, the 318 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 2: brown tears is people. There's just tears. There's actually something 319 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: that just should unite us all as human beings, which 320 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: is that tears are sad, and all human tears should 321 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: be sad. But they've created a higher you know who 322 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 2: has human tears?

I do not 339 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: think that this is going to continue to be something 340 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 2: that the left mobilizes around beyond this weekend. I could 341 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 2: be wrong, but I'm already getting the sense that the 342 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: pieces are not what they need to be to even 343 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: if they're going to misrepresent it get what they want 344 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 2: out of it. Right, It's never what the facts are, 345 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 2: it's are there enough facts in play that counter the 346 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: narrative they want to create that it takes just takes 347 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: the heat out of the situation. 348 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: I think we're pretty close to that. 349 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: So that's a different level here than where they thought 350 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 2: we would be here, though, is the mayor of I mean, 351 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 2: this guy he is. 352 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Such he is such a loathsome coward. 353 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: I there are so many other words play I would 354 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 2: like to use, but it is a family show and 355 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: we have FCC rules, so I cannot use those words. 356 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: But all of you know what words I would like 357 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 2: to use. Those are the words. This guy is the 358 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 2: absolute worst. To go and cry. Imagine showing up at 359 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 2: a funeral for someone you don't know who happens to 360 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: also have been a career felon. Who happens to be 361 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 2: somebody who held a gun at the belly of a 362 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 2: pregnant woman during a home invasion and threatened to shoot her. 363 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: George Floyd sang, George Floyd, Now, if you're a lunatic democrat, 364 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: imagine going to someone's funeral like that Clay as a 365 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: public figure and bending the knee and crying. 366 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: At the casket. 367 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: What a footage of him dancing at the Somali events, 368 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: And I mean, I just so much. The kids like 369 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: to use the word cringe, and I think it's kind 370 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: of a perfect explanation of Jacob Fry. Everything about him 371 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: is just indicative of us as a country often having 372 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 2: the worst among us as political leaders. I mean, this 373 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: guy is you know, you've talked about this some on 374 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: air and some off air. There are a lot of 375 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 2: people that sadly are in positions of political prominence that 376 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 2: couldn't be successful in the real world in other jobs. 377 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 2: And I look at him and I say, you know, 378 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 2: the job pays one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars 379 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 2: a year, right to debase yourself and destroy a great 380 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: American city in order to perpetuate lies. Can we have 381 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: a more honest conversation about the entire George Floyd joke 382 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: and the fact that they're trying to replicate it now 383 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: because they want cities to burn, and they want chaos 384 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: and they want disorder, and the fact that Minnesota has 385 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: become the cultural flashpoint of the collapse. I think of 386 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 2: sanity in America is I know, for many Minnesotans who 387 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: are listening to us right now, you wouldn't have bet 388 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 2: on this in the eighties. You wouldn't have bet on 389 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: this in the seventies. I think Minnesota right now has 390 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 2: the worst leadership and the craziest political trajectory of any 391 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: state in America, even worse than California, even worse than 392 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,959 Speaker 2: New York, even worse than Illinois. It's indefensible what has 393 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 2: been allowed to occur there over the last eight or 394 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: ten years. And Jacob Fry here this is cut two. 395 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: Here he is saying, Now, now keep in mind when 396 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: he said this, I guess it was January eighth. 397 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: Does there have been eight. 398 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: Days in the calendar year so far? So this is 399 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: the way this guy sets this up. Listen, listen to cut. 400 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 5: Two fifty percent of the shootings that have happened thus 401 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: far in Minneapolis this year has been ice. In other words, 402 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 5: we've only had two shootings, one of them has been ice. 403 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: We are a safe city. 404 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 5: Ice is making it less so we are a city 405 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 5: of unity, but ICE is trying to divide us and 406 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 5: tear us apart. For every one of the people that 407 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 5: you see standing here behind me, they have more than 408 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 5: a thousand people behind them. They have people that are 409 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 5: committed to their neighbors, committed to integrity, committed to justice, 410 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 5: and committed to getting the truth. 411 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: Clay Minneapolis, just so everyone can have a little reminder here, 412 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 2: had almost one hundred homicides in twenty twenty one during 413 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 2: the Saint George Floyd reckoning. Almost one hundred. Now that's 414 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: that doesn't sound like a lot by say New York 415 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: City standards. How big is Minneapolis as a city. I 416 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: don't know what is half a million people? Maybe something 417 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 2: I'm guessing if you're now sometimes whether you're counting a 418 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 2: county like the metropolitan area as a part of that, 419 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 2: it is just the city. I think this is just 420 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 2: a stat from the Minneapolis City PD. So my point 421 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: is Clay, Yeah, fifty percent of the shootings, because it's 422 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: like the year just started, and what is that even? 423 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: What does that even mean? Why is that relevant here? 424 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: If there was a cop that was involved in a 425 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: shooting because and it was a lawful shoot, there's no 426 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: what cas is he making here that law enforcement can't 427 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: protect themselves. I sit and I wonder who could vote 428 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: for this guy and not understand that they are part 429 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 2: of the problem. That this moron has ruined Minneapolis in 430 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: every way that he can and really made it a 431 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 2: place that people feel sorry for now, and there's no 432 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 2: sense of remorse over this from him at all. 433 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: This is interesting. 434 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 2: I'm pulling up on Grock the overall data of murders 435 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 2: four hundred thousand. By the way, I wasn't that far. 436 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: Four hundred thousand people in Minneapolis. They had the nineties, 437 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: they peaked at ninety seven homicides, and then it went 438 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: down substantially and then spiked hugely after the twenty twenty 439 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 2: George Full protests. And what I would say about it 440 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: in general is, first of all, this is a perfect 441 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 2: example of only we only have two shootings and fifty 442 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: percent of them are from ice. I would also almost 443 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 2: guarantee that the rate of murder in Minneapolis overwhelmingly corresponds 444 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: with summer skyrocketing. Right in January, I bet the number 445 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: of shootings that happen in Minneapolis because it's so cold 446 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 2: and people are not out on the streets. If you've 447 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: got to be really dedicated, because you're gonna have to 448 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 2: put on that ski parka, you're gonna have to you're 449 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: gonna have to put the snowshoes on. 450 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: So the most down the drive by a lot. 451 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 2: This is actually buck why I think there's not gonna 452 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 2: be a lasting result of the shooting. 453 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: And by ice. 454 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 2: First of all, it's justified and they're gonna fight over it, 455 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: and it's going to continue to diminish. But it's super cold, 456 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: and so I think the number of people that are 457 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 2: gonna be willing to get out in the streets in 458 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: Minneapolis in January and protest is going to dwindle as 459 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: the temperature is just brutal and you're going to be 460 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: standing out there. So I think that's going to diminish. 461 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: But yes, look, I bet seventy five percent of the 462 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: shootings that take place, murders that take place in Minneapolis, 463 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 2: I bet happened between May and October. I would just 464 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: bet in the summer, when kids are back out on 465 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: the streets more so, when people are moving around outside 466 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: way more In general, the number of murders all over 467 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 2: the country is way lower in the winter than it 468 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 2: is in the summer. But I bet it's on steroids 469 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: that data when it comes to Minneapolis. So I just 470 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: think this is indicative of total failure, that this guy 471 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 2: is the leader, and that his superior to the extent 472 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: you want to say it is Tim Walls. Tim Walls 473 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: is not a smart guybuck, I mean, he is not 474 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 2: an intelligent You just leave aside politic and compare watching 475 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 2: Tim Walls respond to questions with JD Vance yesterday. There 476 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 2: is thirty point iq difference between JD Vance and Tim Walls. 477 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: I bet maybe even more substantial. Well, that reminds us 478 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 2: all of the VP debate, remember yes where JD ran 479 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 2: such circles around Walls that you actually kind of felt 480 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 2: maybe a little bad for Walls. And I think JD 481 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: felt a little bad for Walls. Guys just not not 482 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: up for the big stage in any meaningful way. And 483 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: I think that Kamala and this came across as I'm 484 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: a chief comologist on the show. Kamala wanted Walls because 485 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 2: she didn't want somebody that was clearly smarter and more 486 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 2: capable than her, which would have been the mayor, I mean, 487 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: the governor of Pennsylvania. 488 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: That's what that was. It actually was, I don't want. 489 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: To be outshown or outshined or however you say that. Yeah, 490 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 2: and the downside here is, and I think this is 491 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,239 Speaker 2: You may have seen the meme, but I think it's 492 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: one hundred percent accurate. Barack Obama said I need VP 493 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: dumber than me. Joe Biden. Joe Biden said I need 494 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 2: a VP dumber than me. Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris said 495 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 2: I need a VP dumber than me. Tim Walls. Every 496 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 2: step since then, whatever you think of Obama's way smarter 497 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: than Kamala, way smarter than Joe Biden, and way smarter 498 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: than Tim Walls on every step there, Democrats got dumber. 499 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: And I think this is. 500 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 2: One big part of the Trump two point zero that 501 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 2: isn't getting talked about enough. Whatever you think about them, 502 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 2: jd Vance, Marco Rubio, and Pete hag Seth are all 503 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 2: smart guys, way smarter than the average media member who 504 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 2: is covering them. And obviously Trump is a smart guy too, 505 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: But I think the intellectual theft of Marco jd and 506 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: HEG Seth is probably higher than we have seen in 507 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 2: a very very long time when it comes to the 508 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: top echelon governmental leaders that we have. 509 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a big difference. 510 00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: Now. Chuck Schumer is crafty. He's crafty, for sure. I 511 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: don't think he sure is a dumb guy. Say he's 512 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: not a dumb guy, but I'm not really sure what 513 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 2: he thinks he's gonna what he thinks he's gonna be 514 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: able to do with this one. Here he is speaking 515 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 2: out on this ice shooting, saying that we shouldn't have 516 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 2: ice agents patrolling our streets. 517 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: Play for the bottom. 518 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 6: Line is very simple. We should not have ice agents 519 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 6: patrolling our streets. They're not needed, They create chaos, and 520 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 6: they even create deaths. The mayor of Minneapolis didn't want them, 521 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 6: so many other cities didn't. This is sort of Trump 522 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 6: strutting around. But if they don't belong in our cities, 523 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 6: plain and simple, we need a full investigation here as 524 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 6: to what happened. 525 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 2: Think about this logic play applied to any other law 526 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: enforcement agency. US marshals have a really good reputation among 527 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 2: the law enforcement communities, I will say, and I used 528 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: to work in a shared sort of co located fusion 529 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: center with some with some US marshals. You know, they 530 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 2: go after high threat felons, right, They'll go after people 531 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: who have you know, jumped, like jump bail, felon, stuff 532 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: like that. 533 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: Basically they do. 534 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 2: The manhunt stuff out there. Sometimes they have to go 535 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: into a residence, guns drawn, kicking in the door, wrestling 536 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: people in. 537 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes they have to shoot. 538 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 2: Now is that their fault or is it the fault 539 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 2: of the people who are the law breakers who have 540 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: you know, fled, you know, whether they've escaped from prison 541 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 2: or they've jumped bail or whatever is they've done. 542 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: Right, So my point here is. 543 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: On ice, they're blaming law enforcement for enforcing the law 544 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 2: and not the people breaking the law necessitating the law enforcement. 545 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you could do this with gang units. 546 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: There are some very high profile gang units that have 547 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: been deployed in the the plane plain Clothes unit in 548 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 2: New York, which oh gosh, I don't know, I mean, 549 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: de Blasio rid of it, or try to get rid 550 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 2: of it. I'm sure Mom, Donnie will get rid of it. 551 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: But Clay sometimes they have to tackle very bad people 552 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 2: to the street, and sometimes that means they get a 553 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 2: concussion or there's you know, it's a scuffle and it's nasty, 554 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 2: and occasionally they might have to draw their repon and 555 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 2: shoot somebody. Is that their fault or is it the 556 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 2: fault of the gang member felons that don't want to 557 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: get caught. Yeah, and look, I think you can build 558 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 2: even more on this Minneapolis situation, buck In that this 559 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 2: is what they wanted to happen. They have been trying 560 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: to provoke, They have been trying to create situations that 561 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: lead to more violence. This is why, in the wake 562 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: of the BLM stuff, I sat down with my boys, 563 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 2: and I imagine most of you out there with your 564 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: kids and grandkids. I said, look, I'm a lawyer. Sometimes 565 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: a police officer might ask you to do something that 566 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 2: you don't want to do, or that you might be 567 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: concerned about, you know, doing. Always listen to a police officer. 568 00:31:55,040 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 2: They are imperfect. They may give you awful suggestions. But 569 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 2: the way to ensure that we have less police shootings 570 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 2: is actually just comply with police officer instructions. If that woman. 571 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 2: First of all, she should have never been at the 572 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: ice event. But if that woman had just listened when 573 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: that police saw that Ice officer came up and said, 574 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 2: roll down your window, open your door. If she had 575 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 2: just listened to the police officer, the ice official there, 576 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 2: none of this would have ever heard if she had 577 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 2: just complied with those instructions instead of trying to floor 578 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: it and roar out of there after she blocked the 579 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 2: Parkeder car perpendicularly and tried to impinge the ability to 580 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 2: do the job there, Clay, if I'm pulled over by 581 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 2: a cop. If I'm pulled over, let's say, by a 582 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: state trooper on the side of the highway, and he says, 583 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 2: get out of your car, and I get out of 584 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: my car, and I quickly moved my hands toward my waistband, 585 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 2: and he says, show me your hands, show me your hands, 586 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 2: and I don't show them my hands. I keep reaching 587 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: and then I make a fast movement towards him. 588 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: He's lawfully allowed to shoot me. 589 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: Yes, because we cannot ask a state trooper or any cop, 590 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 2: or any law enforcement to wait until the bullet passes 591 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 2: through their shoulder or their chest before they actually get 592 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 2: to draw and use their weapon. 593 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: That's just the way it is, yes, which is why comply. Comply. Comply. 594 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm a lawyer. 595 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 2: If somebody does something that is an inappropriate, illegal search, seizure, 596 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 2: or whatever it is, you can challenge that in a 597 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 2: court when you're alive. I've said this for a long time. 598 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 2: I've said it to my own boys. I would say 599 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: it to your kids. I would say it to your grandkids. 600 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 2: If a police officer asks you to do something, do it, 601 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: even if you think that is not what you would 602 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: prefer to do. It's my advice to my kids. We 603 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 2: can always you can always get involved in legal proceedings, 604 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 2: but just listen. If you're the type that holds onto 605 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 2: every family memory, keeps saying photo, videotape, get them digitized 606 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: before they fade or disintegrate.

Welcome back in Play Travis Bucks Extant Show. 623 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 2: I asked Brock during that commercial break because I wanted 624 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: to look up the data Minneapolis, because again I think 625 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 2: Minneapolis has become the cultural flashpoint in many ways of 626 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 2: the woke mind virus in this country. In twenty nineteen, 627 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: Minneapolis had forty eight murders. In twenty twenty and twenty 628 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 2: twenty one, that is, during the George Floyd protests, and 629 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 2: the year after the George Floyd put protests, the murder 630 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 2: rate effectively doubled in Minneapolis. So Black Lives Matter has 631 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 2: nowhere in America. Are they more on the ground active 632 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 2: than Minneapolis, and it led to more black deaths, primarily 633 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 2: ninety four murders in twenty twenty ninety five murders in 634 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, so they doubled the number of murders 635 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 2: that were taking place there. Last year, Minneapolis had sixty 636 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: four murders. So they still are up substantially on murders 637 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 2: even five years after the George Floyd incident. So if 638 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 2: you really want to kind of analyze what the impact 639 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:17,240 Speaker 2: was of BLM, BLM led to interestingly and ironically and unfortunately, 640 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 2: far more Black people dying than would have died if 641 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 2: BLM had never existed at all. Because they decided police 642 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 2: were the bad guys. Police weren't able to catch the 643 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: actual bad guys, and as a result, the murder rates 644 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 2: skyrocketed all over the country, but Minneapolis in particular, with 645 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 2: Jacob Fry as their mayor and with Minnesota being led 646 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 2: by Tim Walls, they failed on an epic level. That's 647 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 2: what the data reflects. When we come back, we'll go 648 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 2: up to Minneapolis with Breca Stole next
