1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here with us, everybody, and we've got

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: some interesting stories to update you with, including well, did

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: we say inflation helps steady at two point seven percent?

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: Just let you know, inflation holding steady. Trump on the

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: tariffs looking very prescient, very wise so far.

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: I know there are people that are still.

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Clinging to the idea that, oh no, just wait any

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: day now the tariffs are going to tank the economy.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that happen at least a little bit, a little.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: Bit already if I was gonna see the case.

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: But we've got also the Trump sit down, the putin

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Trump Alaska summit on Friday, where he's going to try

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: to get a negotiated ceasefire and a pathway to an

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: end of the Russia Ukraine War, which Clay, I have

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: to say, the casualty figures that you hear about this,

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: including when we were up in DC and visited the

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: White House and talking to some of the national security

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: folks in that White House, the casualty figures are staggering.

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: And this is a war that because we're not involved

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: directly in combat, it is it feels obviously a lot

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: further away. Our people are not getting shot, Our people

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: are not getting killed, but there are people getting shot

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: and killed in huge numbers. And Trump, on a humanitarian

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: level and on a what's good for the world and

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: good for business level, wants.

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: This thing to end. So we'll see if he's able

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: to pull that off.

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: It would be a remarkable situation, Clay, if Trump is

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: able to get some kind of a deal from Putin,

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: even the beginnings of a deal from Putin and Zelenski,

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have the media say he gave

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: he pushed Zelenski too much, or he gave you.

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: It's never good enough.

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: Whatever Trump does, it's never good enough to just be

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: prepared for that, and they'll never give him a Nobel

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Peace Prize no matter.

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: What he does.

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: It does not matter. Trump could end war for all

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: time and they would still not give him a Nobel

41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Peace Prize. But we're going to continue to look at

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: that and give you a preview of whereld that's going on.

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: But something I thought was very interesting, Clay, the story

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: that's getting a lot of attention and circulating now on

45
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: the DC crime issue. Remember we have a mantra here

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: on the show we talk about it for elections, but

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: it's true in general. What really matters to us day

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: to day economy, border crime, economy, border crime. It's kind

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: of the triad, the big three of governance and critical issues,

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: and they obviously play into each other. And there are

51
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: areas where the government has an outsized role, perhaps too big,

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: in the economy. But that's a whole other conversation. And

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: here we are now looking at efforts to make things

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: better and safer in DC. You would think that public

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: safety and reducing crime is a bipartisan, a truly bipartisan issue.

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: You know, Clay, I look this up.

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: It the DC was, in fact, it's a little trivia

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: for you, the per capita murder capital of the United States,

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: for at least a year or two in the early nineties,

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: the worst place for murder in America.

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: Which is saying something which led to one of the

62
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: most unbelievable it's real quotes from a mayor political figure.

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: He's talking with, the esteemed Marion Barry. The esteemed Marion

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: Barry said, DC doesn't have a crime rate problem except

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: for the murders I mean, which is an all timer.

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: And for people out there who I get it, and

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: the books are being cooked on crime in many different

68
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: cities when it comes to carjacking or robberies, or the

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: fact that a lot of times, some of you out

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: there in cities know this to be true. Something gets

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: stolen and it takes so long for the police to

72
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: come that you're like, screw it, this is not even

73
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: worth my window got broken. I'm just a lot of

74
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: people don't report relatively minor crime because they know it's

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: more it's gonna take longer of their time than to

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: deal with it murder.

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: Which is why when someone stole my East scooter. That's right,

78
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: my cool East scooter zoom zoom all over New York

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: City and then some ruffian, some scoundrel stole my East

80
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: scooter right off the streets, it was very sad. You

81
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: didn't even report that, right, I did not. I did

82
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: not because it costs like two hundred and fifty bucks.

83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: And to go to the police, say, what are they

84
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna do? They're gonna have their I mean like legitimately.

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we got our best guys on that one.

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: We got detectives working around the clock looking for your

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: East scooter. First of all, I thought they were looking

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: at me like you you you were all on an

89
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: eas scooter, buddy. Really Okay, I'm.

90
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Surprised that he dated you when you were single, when

91
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: you were riding around on in the East scooter with

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: a helmet on. Wow, harsh, harsh, way harsh play. But

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: our East wasn't married there in Miami, Uh people do?

94
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: People do ride them here pretty pretty regularly. Yeah, I'd

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: say it's it's They got really popular in Nashville for

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: a while and then it was like a whole it

97
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: was like they had some sort of overproduction and now

98
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: nobody's on them. Have you known there were these companies

99
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: of them?

100
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were these companies that got venture capital funding,

101
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: a number of them, and they just they just sort

102
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: of flooded the zone with these electric scooters in a

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: whole bunch of cities.

104
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: Nashville was one of them. DC was one of the

105
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: more joint abandoned them in huge piles.

106
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: It was actually then it became it became an eyesore

107
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: and they they were getting broken, they were getting stolen.

108
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: I mean the whole thing.

109
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: You know, you need a really high trust society for

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: those things to work the way they're supposed to, meaning

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: that everyone puts them where they're supposed to be at

112
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the end, and people don't break them, and people don't

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: steal them, and they don't just leave. So it was

114
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: a total mess. The other thing is I know plenty

115
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: of people who have like absolutely wiped out.

116
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: On those things. It's not hard. It's not hard to do.

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: The thing that people don't realize on those things is

118
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: that if you if you go to an onni, if

119
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: you're going at speed and you go to like an

120
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: uneven ledge, yeah, there's no it's not like car where

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: you go over the speed bump, you will come to

122
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: a screeching halt and go flying over those handlebars. I

123
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: how people who have lost their teeth broken their elbow anyway,

124
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: So that's what happened. So, yeah, someone stole my my

125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: East scooter and I'm still sad about it. Now, let's

126
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: talk about the crime statistics that should be reported, and

127
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: that is the serious stuff in DC and Clay. It

128
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: turns out, for those of us who were skeptical of

129
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: the claim that DC has the lowest violent crime rate

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: it has had in thirty years, for someone noticed not murders.

131
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: We always talked about this. Murders are hard to hide,

132
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: No matter what, unless you're in like the middle of

133
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: a cartel war and warez. Murders tend to get you know,

134
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: the tend to get the attention of beating people the

135
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: crocodiles in Costa Rica, right, Like in general, it's hard

136
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: to hide dead bodies.

137
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: It's it's something that tends to get everyone's attention. And

138
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: the murder rate in DC is down a lot from

139
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: the nineties, but it went up dramatically, especially because of

140
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: BLM twenty three. How to peak, But Clay, here's a

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: story a DC police commander. This is just from a

142
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: This is recent DC police commander under investigation for allegedly

143
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: changing crime stats in his district. Now you might say,

144
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: oh wait, why would he do that, because they must

145
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: be so honest with their crime stats.

146
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: Oh no.

147
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: The Metro Police Department confirmed that an officer's placed on

148
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: paid administrative leave in mid May. But it happened, this

149
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: is the key. It happened one week after that officer

150
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: filed an EEO complaint on an assistant chief and the

151
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: police union accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data.

152
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: This guy came out and was part of Hey, they're

153
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: cooking the books. So the police department puts him on

154
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: leave for cooking the books, which he says he is

155
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: being made to do by his chain of command.

156
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: That is highly suspicious. A lot of smoke, and I'm

157
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: telling you there's fire there too. Well, you know this,

158
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: and anybody who's ever worked in business knows this. You

159
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: get targets, and sometimes the data can allow you to

160
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: manipulate the targets in ways that make it look like

161
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: you're doing better than you actually are because of the

162
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: way the data comes in. And so it doesn't surprise me.

163
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: This is why, to me, you have to go to murder.

164
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: I understand the argument of, hey, there are a lot

165
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: of other serious crimes, but I would bet that it

166
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: is almost unprecedented for a city to have a low

167
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: murder rate and a high violent crime rate in other facets,

168
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: right or vice versa. To be true, a high murder

169
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: rate and a low violent crime rate in conjunction, none

170
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: of that would overlap. Right, A high murder rate is

171
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: typically going to also mean a high rate of sexual assault,

172
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 2: a high rate of robbery, a high rate of carjacking,

173
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: all of those things running concert. And so you know,

174
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: I think overall this is important here's the other thing,

175
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: buck that almost nobody talks about. You know, our medical

176
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: care has become so good that a lot of people

177
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: that in past years would have died of and been

178
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: murder victims now survive. So somewhat the rate of murder

179
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: over the last twenty five years, it should be noted

180
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: down precipitously because we're far better at saving life because

181
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: of healthcare, and so I think sometimes you have to

182
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: look at number of people that are being shot and

183
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: going into hospitals. This is also true, you know, for

184
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: combat for the Ukraine Russia war, for instance, and certainly

185
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: for other of our soldiers out there. You guys know

186
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: this to be true. We are able to save far

187
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: more life than we ever have before. So the data

188
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: doesn't always tell the same story. Because if you got

189
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: shot in nineteen sixty eight odds where you probably are

190
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: going to die, we're saving a lot more lives now

191
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: compared to then, if that makes sense. So again we'll

192
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: get what the actual data shows, and that story is

193
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: violent crime is far too often a major issue in

194
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: almost every city in America. I think they did it

195
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: after the fact assessment of fatalities on our side, Americans

196
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: lost in the Vietnam War, and if there was just

197
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: a rudimentary training in uh suck what's called the sucking

198
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: chest wound, it would have a lot more people would

199
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: have survived. So yeah, no, it's it's it's true, these

200
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: these numbers. When you can do analysis of them, uh

201
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: with with murders, though, what you see is if the

202
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: murder rate is high, other crime is high too. This

203
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 2: is the Then there's there's a little bit of a

204
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: difference here in San Francisco, for example, and we could

205
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: get into why this is. But in San Francisco you

206
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: have very high property crime and sort of public disorder crimes,

207
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: but a pretty low violent crime rate. But you don't

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: what you don't have is a very high violence. To

209
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: the Marian Verry point, you don't have a very high

210
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: violent crime rate and very high murder rate and a

211
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: well ordered society otherwise, right that that does not you

212
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: can have a lot of property crime and not a

213
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: lot of murders. You will not have you know, I

214
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: mean even you know, you go to even some.

215
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: European countries and there's a lot of pickpockets and a

216
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: lot of theft, but like you know, you're not gonna

217
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: get stabbed in an alleyway.

218
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about this with London and Paris

219
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: have one twenty eighth the murder rate of Washington d C.

220
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: Let me repeat that, London and Paris one twenty eighth

221
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: the murder rate of Washington DC. That's why if you're

222
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: ever talking to someone who's British or French and they

223
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: are coming to the United States or frankly Australian now

224
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: even sometimes Canadian, they look at the data and they think, oh,

225
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: my goodness, the United States is incredibly dangerous, and it is.

226
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: If you live in London and you're coming over to

227
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 2: New York City, New York City is far safer, and

228
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: then you're going to get on a train and come

229
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: down to DC, as many Brits do, that's twenty eight

230
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: times is likely you would be murdered in Washington d C.

231
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: As London, they do have a lot easy to think about.

232
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: They have a lot of knife crime and a lot

233
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: of home invasions with knives, though in the UK it's

234
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: actually getting much worse there than it has been in

235
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: a long time. But yes, they don't have the murders

236
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: that this is.

237
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: Murders are overwhelmingly in this country. I mean, if you

238
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: look at the real hub of where this is happening,

239
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: it's off. It's generally gang related, inner city shootings. I mean,

240
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: that's what really drives This is what drives it in Chicago,

241
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 1: this is what drives it in Saint Louis this is

242
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: you go New Orleans, all the places that have Birmingham

243
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: unfortunately has a really high crime rate.

244
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Louisville, So Louisville where you know. I mean, and again

245
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 2: to your point, because you did this, the cops know

246
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 2: where the crimes are going to happen. Oh yeah, it's

247
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: not as if you need when they talk about DC,

248
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: you and I just were up there. We stayed in Georgetown.

249
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure they can use a few extra cops in Georgetown.

250
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: It's pretty safe, right. My uncle was a cop in Savannah,

251
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 2: Georgia in the nineties. He actually moved on to the

252
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 2: LAPD and did his career out there. But he was

253
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: for like I think, maybe I don't know, six or

254
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: seven years he was in Savannah, PDE. For those of

255
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: you who are Savannah listeners. At one of his stories,

256
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: he tells he says that he was at a murder,

257
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: a scene of a murder, and there was a crowd

258
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: that had formed and he just sort of looked around.

259
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: He said, you don't anybody see anything? And a guy

260
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: put up his hands. He said, I didn't kill anybody.

261
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: Turned out turned out that guy went away. That guy

262
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: went away. So you know, you never know what you're

263
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: gonna find out. But if you flood the zone, so

264
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: to speak, there's five neighborhoods in every city that actually

265
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: need to have the zone flooded, and you could cut

266
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: crime by fifty percent. I mean, that's just the reality.

267
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: So when we're talking about police needing to deployed or

268
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: National Guard or whatever else, it's really just a few

269
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: neighborhoods in most cities where the vast majority of violent

270
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: crime happens. So it's it's not as if you need

271
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: to flood you know, this is what happens. I mean,

272
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: you look at New York.

273
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: They had stop, stop, question and frisk, which they now

274
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: abbreviated stop in frisk, but stop questioning frisk. And when

275
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: that was going on the city was at its all

276
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: time high of safety, and people said, oh, but we

277
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: don't need to keep doing that. We don't need to

278
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: keep doing that, And yeah, for a few years.

279
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: When they got rid of it, it seemed like things

280
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: were okay, and then it turned and then it got worse,

281
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you had a problem.

282
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: And that's what needs to come back everywhere. We'll talk

283
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: more about this, we'll take some of your calls eight

284
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: hundred and two A two two eight eight two. But

285
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: I want to tell you the Tunnel the Towers Foundation

286
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: makes the lasting difference in real lives, like the lives

287
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: of the Clark family. US Air Force Sergeant Jesse Clark's

288
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: military service came to an end after a chemical exposure

289
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: caused a large tumor to form in his brain. As

290
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: a result, he's paralyzed on the left side of his body,

291
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: legally blind, prone to memory loss, and in a wheelchair

292
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: for the remainder of his life. Friends like you help

00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: Sanders on Morning Joe this morning, and he said, you

313
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: don't think more police make streets safer? And more police

314
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: make streets safer?

315
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: No, Joe, I'm a black woman in America. I do

316
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: not always think that more police next streets safer. When

317
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: you walk down the streets of Georgetown, you don't see

318
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 4: a police officer on every corner, but you don't feel unsafe.

319
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: So what is it about talking about places.

320
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: Like Southeast DC? Right ward eight?

321
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: If you will that people say, well, we need more

322
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 4: officers to.

323
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: Make us safe.

324
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 4: I think we have to rethink what safety means in America.

325
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: Is she a moron?

326
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 5: Is she a more?

327
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 3: No?

328
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: Truly, Why do you have more cops in southeast because

329
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: there's more crimes there. Why don't we have as many

330
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: cops in the middle of like rural Nebraska as we

331
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: do in downtown Baltimore because there's more crimes and people there.

332
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been anywhere where I have

333
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: seen cops and thought I wish there were fewer cops

334
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: here in my entire life. I mean, I think partly

335
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: this is cultural that Simone Sanders is not really speaking

336
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: for herself, because I've at she lives behind the gated

337
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: community with tons of severity, in a very nice place

338
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: with very low crime. But I have never been anywhere

339
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: in America where I have thought, you know what, I

340
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: wish there were fewer cops at this event. I never

341
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: thought that in my entire life. Have any of you

342
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: wanted there to be fewer cops where you were? I've

343
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: never had that thought, and I think most Americans haven't

344
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: had that thought either.

345
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: We'll take some calls here coming up you know, years ago,

346
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: new legislation created the opportunity for four oh one k's

347
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: and iras. These retirement accounts shifted the responsibility from employed

348

Speaker 2: really give it some thought. I own gold. I've been

Speaker 1: our carbon footprint small.

374
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: There is a zero percent chance if I were single

375
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: that I would have scooted anywhere. I mean I would

376
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: have I would have been late for every meeting just

377
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: because I would have been afraid that would come by

378
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: and see me on the scooter and never date me again.

379
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: This is gonna sound like I'm making it up, but

380
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm not making it up. But I feel like we're

381
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: all family here, so I will tell you this. Okay,

382
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: during COVID, a couple of years.

383
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 7: Before I met my wife, when I was a single guy,

384
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 7: I was you know, I was out, you know, trying

385
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 7: to meet the trying to meet the love of my life,

386
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 7: my beloved Carrie, and I hadn't met her yet, and

387
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 7: it was a couple of years before, and I had

388
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 7: the scooter because you know, during COVID, that was one

389
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 7: It was great to have the scooter because you could

390
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 7: fly all over New York not fly, but you you

391
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 7: could move really fast all over the year.

392
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: Is there very few people out and about because that time,

393
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: so I could get all over but you know, restaurants

394
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: will be open sometimes. And I remember I was like,

395
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: you know what I was like, for this, this is

396
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: true story. I was like, for this, it was a

397
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: second date to me. It wasn't her first date.

398
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: I was like, but for this date, you know what,

399
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm gonna show up with my scooter

400
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: because it's convenient, and like, I'll give her. I'll give

401
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: her a ride home on my little East scooter. And

402
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: I didn't really think this through. You know, she was

403
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: a she's a petit lady, she wasn't big. I didn't

404
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: really think this through though. Those things are not meant

405
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: for two people. So when she got on the back

406
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: of it and we tried to go, I'm not kidding.

407
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: We were going zero point five miles an hour. It

408
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: was moving walking, but oh walking is way faster.

409
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: We were moving, but it was moving at the speed

410
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: of like a toddler's Tanka truck, you know what I mean,

411
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: when it kind of goes on the driveway and uh,

412
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: we had a we had a sustained laugh at my expense.

413
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: And uh, I don't think there was a third date.

414
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: We didn't there, you go, I wouldn't have kept dating you.

415
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean I would have been like, this guy's riding

416
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: a scooter. He won't even spend he won't even splurge

417
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: for an uber ride back home. It's probably cold the winds.

418
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: I do wish there was there was video my face though,

419
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: when like, cause you know, I hit the throttle and

420
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know, and and it kind of like lurched

421
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: for and then it was just at you know, at

422
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: turtle speed. I mean, it was this old ladies with

423
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 2: walkers were telling me to get out of the way,

424
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: slow poke. It was really not good. I remember, this

425
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: is kind of funny date story, not for me. I've

426
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: been married for twenty like five years or whatever. The

427
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: heck it is twenty two years, next year, next month,

428
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 2: this month, anyway, a long time, twenty one years. And

429
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: but I remember a girl being like, yeah, I went

430
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 2: on a date. She's like, I'm a little We used

431
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: to do I'd do anonymous mail bags at OutKick and

432
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 2: I would answer a lot of questions. Girl was like, yeah,

433
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: I went on a first date. It's like, I just

434
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't really feel like he was into me. And

435
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: I was like, you know in the email, and she

436
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: was like and as evidence of that, she said, he

437
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: paid with a gift certificate, and I was like, I

438
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: was like, I'm sorry, ladies, if you go out to

439
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: dinner with a guy on the very first date and

440
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: he pays with a gift certificate, then he is really

441
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: not that into you because he's not even willing to

442
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: pull out the actual credit card. And it's even funnier

443
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: if it's like, can you just take the twenty you know,

444
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: it's like a twenty five dollars gift certificate, So you know,

445
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, I don't believe. Maybe there's somebody listening.

446
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't believe there's a single marriage that has ever

447
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: resulted from a first date or a man paid for

448
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: the dinner with a gift certificate, because I think women

449
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: are like like, look, i mean, I'm not saying that

450
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: I expected the absolute sun of movement stars on the

451
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: first date, but you took me to Applebee's or Outback

452
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: and you whipped out like the Outback gift certificate for

453
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: the bluemin onion. I'm just not saying that that's the

454
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 2: guy that you want to spend the rest of your

455
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: life with. Maybe there's somebody out there, if there is

456
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: a single person listening who went out on a first

457
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: date and the guy she's with paid with a gift certificate,

458
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: gift card, and then maybe I'm wrong. I don't think

459
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 2: there's a single relationship that has ever come from a

460
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: first date gift certificate. So uh, that is my advice

461
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: to men out there that if you're dating a girl,

462
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: or if you're the girl, if he's paying for you

463
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: with a gift certificate, he's not that into you. He

464
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: wasn't even willing to actually use real cash. He's using

465
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 2: what his mom gave him for Christmas to take you. However,

466

Speaker 2: Bloomin Onions still preferable to splitting the check on the

Speaker 2: first date. I will say, so it's it's a little,

468
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: it's you know, this is in this is purgatory, This

469
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 2: is like in between, right. I mean, it's not great,

Speaker 2: but not terrible. Guys, you gotta you gotta pick up the.

Speaker 1: even if she's a Bernie Sanders voting purple haired You

479
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: all right, Norman in NYC wants the way in. What's

480
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 2: going on? Norman.

481
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 8: I'm still laughing about the credit card, the gret gift card.

482
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: Gift card. You can't do it, Norman, you can't do it.

483
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: You've probably been married for thirty years. But I'm trying

484
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 2: to help the young man out there. Don't screw this up.

485
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 8: My god, God was given to him by his mother.

486
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's like you got a Christmas gift

487
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: card for the outback steakhouse. You're not even willing to

488
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 2: take and pay the girls dinner for yourself. Your mom

489
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: and dad are paying for it. Just can't do it.

490
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god, you got Norman. You

491
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 2: have to do You have to come back to Norman.

492
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 2: Norman's Norman's uh, he's tickled over there.

493
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 8: Let me say this, I think first and foremost Washington,

494
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 8: d C should be the safest community on the planet,

495
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 8: and foremost, that is where the President of the United States,

496
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 8: dignitaries come from all over the world. There is no excuses,

497
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 8: no excuses for one thing to be going wrong in Washington,

498
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 8: d C. The second thing is agree with the presidents

499
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 8: and in the National Guard there. And I think that

500
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 8: it's important that the mayor takes the pride off the

501
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 8: shoulder and say I'm getting additional help in the mountain

502
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 8: in Washington, DC to be able to combat the problems

503
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 8: that we face. I think that what I would do

504
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 8: is pair up one law enforcement officers from the district

505
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 8: with one National guardsman to give it more power, to

506
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 8: give people more comfortability. The word national Guard is scaring people.

507
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 8: It's additional law enforcement. New York City talks about the

508
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 8: fact that we need more police. Well, huh, take the

509
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 8: four thousand or five thousand National guardsmen that want to

510
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 8: be deployed. Give them the opportunity to work alongside.

511
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: Can I Can I point out something as well, Norman,

512
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: All the people that don't totally agree with your sentiments here,

513
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: all the people that are freaking out about Trump deploying

514
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: National Guard to help with law enforcement. They were fine

515
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: with National Guard holding empty six teams at airports during

516
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: COVID as if that had anything to do with anything.

517
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they just had people standing there with guns

518
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: making you fill out contact tracing forms. What was the

519
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: National Guard gonna do? Hand me some extra cleanexes. It

520
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: was absurd, and they were all fine with that. I

521
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: just want to point out no purpose for them whatsoever

522
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: other than a show of force, because we're all supposed

523
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: to obey and bend the need of fauci and vile third.

524
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely, and let me see this. Tell a mother

525
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 8: that lost her child, it's the gun violence that she

526
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 8: doesn't want more police in the community. Hey man, a

527
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 8: father that doesn't have one. Come on, man, get with poltish.

528
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 8: Let's do what we gotta do. Yes, we're in untrodded

529
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 8: territories in some area. But the ship is turning. Let's

530
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 8: get on board, turn the ship and going in a

531
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 8: different direction. Because all of this other stuff from the

532
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 8: Democrats have not been working. It's just been kicking the

533
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 8: can down the road.

534
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: That's great call, Norman. I agree with him. And you

535
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: mentioned this yesterday, Buck, and we'll play a cut for you.

536
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: Maybe in a little bit. We're gonna take a couple

537
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: more calls. But I think Muriel Bowser, the mayor of DC,

538
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: actually agree he's with Trump, but politically is not able

539
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: to say that. Listen to her answers and how she's

540
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: trying to thread that fine line. I think she welcomes

541
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 2: the support.

542
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 8: She is not.

543
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: I if this were happening in Chicago, Mayor Johnson would

544
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: be screaming about Nazism and racism and Trump as like

545
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: the head of the KKK. I mean, it would be

546
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: complete meltdown. Okay, complete meltdown. That's not what you're getting

547
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: from Mayor Bowser.

548
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 6: She was pretty you know.

549
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: I mean she's saying I don't think we needed to

550
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: trying to defend her record a little. Maybe we should

551
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: get to some of those get some of those clips.

552
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: She's not She's not coming out swinging hard at Trump

553
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 2: on these things because I think she wants to leave

554
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: open the possibility of taking credit for it, which if

555
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: it gets better, she'll take a victory lap. And you

556
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: know what, if she doesn't.

557
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: Stand in the way, fine, you know, I mean, as

558
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: long as it's getting better there because we all know

559
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: that people will understand that Trump was the instigator of

560
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: these improvements. But yeah, I think it's it's it's very

561
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: interesting to see how that dynamic plays out. We've also

562
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: got here.

563
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: Florida's next. Thank you Dave in Florida.

564
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 9: Yes, hey, listen, buck. When when the when the bike

565
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 9: went dead?

566
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 6: Who pushed?

567
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 9: Who taking it back?

568
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 8: Yeah?

569
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: What happened when the scooter was failing? What did you do?

570
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: Did you, like just kick her to the curb and

571
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: ride home. I I, I will tell you, I called

572
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 2: an uber for her to take her home, and then

573
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: I kind of sadly, I didn't really want to ride

574
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: the ride the scooter anymore. I kind of walked it home.

575
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: You know when you skin your knee as a kid

576
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: on your bike and you were like unsure of it,

577
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: you know, and you're like, I don't know, like I

578
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: was skinned my knee. That's kind of how I felt

579
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: about my e scooter. It was like I was defeated

580
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: and I just walked alongside it in sorrow alone.

581
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, took your soccer ball and went home. So you know,

582
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 9: the solutions today for DC and the mayor's solution is

583
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 9: as ridiculous as it was when Marion Barry was in

584
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 9: office and the early nineties, it was the murder capital

585
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 9: of the world, I think a couple of years consecutive.

586
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 9: And that solution was to change the name of the

587
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 9: basketball team from the Washington Bullets because of that Bullets

588
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 9: to the Washington Wizards.

589
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: That was their solution, I remember.

590
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 9: And it's just completely out of ridiculous, at a ridiculous level.

591
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: Now, So thank the call.

592
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 8: I want to ask you.

593
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 9: I want to ask you a question real quick. I know,

Speaker 2: Trump is working on trying to put this thing on.

608
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 2: They are going to do the fight and then have

609

00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 5: big cities, they're all democratic run in Democratic run states,

621
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 5: and they're all anti Second Amendment. And is there any

622
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 5: correlation with the violence and crime We're dead?

623
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: Uh, thank you for the call, Barney. I bet was

624
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: a big fan of Andy Griffith back in the day.

625
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: Maybe named after the legend Daid Barney Fife. That is,

626
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: by the way, one of the all time great shows.

627
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: Do you ever grow up watching Andy Griffith show? Buck?

628
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, Andy Griffith Show is still so good. Black

629
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: and white Andy Griffith before they went to the color version,

630
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: old school Andy Griffith shows opie everything else and be

631
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: so good. So what's interesting is we have seen skyrocketing

632
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: levels of firearms purchase since twenty eighteen ish. I think

633
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: if any firearm maker out there were looking at it,

634
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: there are way more guns on the street now than

635
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: ever before. And many of the places with the highest

636
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: rates of gun ownership are actually seeing much lower rates

637
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: of gun violence, and many of the places with the

638
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: most restrictive laws on gun ownership are seeing record high

639
00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: levels of gun violence. Again, it is the legal gun owner,

640
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: as many of you know out there, is actually one

641
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: of the most law abiding people. Like leave a side

642
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: gun crime, they actually commit crimes that infinitely lower rates

643
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: anybody else.

644
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: Conceal carry permit holders in this country have a lower

645
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: violation of the law rate than law enforcement.

646
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that's a heck of a stat That's a

647
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: heck of a stat doesn't surprise me, but but that

648
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: is super interesting. Look, I'm going to go to Chattanooga, Tennessee,

682
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,640

683
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 6: or you know, a restaurant. I'm thinking, the hell wouldn't

Speaker 6: you on.

685
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 2: A first date. On a first date, you're trying to

686
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: impress a girl and she's like, hey, thank you for

687
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: taking me to the dinner, and you're like, well, I

688
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: just want you to know my mom is basically paying

689
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: for this date. Uh, you're not worth my credit card?

690
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 6: No, see, I think guess where you're wrong here, Clay.

691
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 6: You know somebody gave you a gift certificate and I

692
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 6: know you like, you know where I'm gonna give you

693
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 6: this gift certificate and you said, okay, I'm gonna save this.

694
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 6: So you know, my favorite restaurant. If I've got a

695
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 6: hot date, I'm gonna be able to bring her there.

696
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 6: I might be short of money in that week, but

697
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 6: I'm gonna save it for a special occasion. And you're

698
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 6: gonna use your gift certificate.

699
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: That I think Todd has used some gift certificates on that.

700
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: I think Todd. Are you married.

701
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 6: Long since Mary? Yes?

702
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: Okay. On the first date that you went on with

703
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 2: your wife, did you use a gift certificate?

704
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 6: They didn't have.

705
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: Okay, that's why you're married today, Todd. That's why you're

706
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 2: married today. She would have been like, I can't stay

707
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: with this guy. He just used a gift certificate on

708
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: our very first date. We'll have some fun. You guys

709
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: can weigh in. I love you to thank you for

710
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: calling it in. Take you thin. I'm glad you're married

711
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: because you would have made a poor decision and tried

712
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: to use a gift certificate with the love of your life.

713
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: And she would have said, I don't think I can

714
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: trust this guy. He doesn't even have the money for

715
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: a bloomin onion at outback. Why do I want to

716
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 2: be betrothed to him for the rest of the well?

717
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: His mom paid for our date.

718
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: At least he didn't show up to the date on

719
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: an escooter and try to make it an e scooter

720
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: for two, so he's got that going for him, which

721
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: is nice. Could have been a lot worse. We'll have

722
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: some fun next hour.

723
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: Thanks for having Kley, Travis, and Buck Sexton on the

724
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,000
