1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Some of you may not know this story. That's because 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't want to talk about it. 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: But our friends in Utah, in particular BYU fans, have 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: been unfairly maligned. We got a case of jesse Smalette 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: on the volleyball court. Buck, I don't know how much 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: you've been following this case, but we've been doing a 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: pretty good job of tracking it our crew at OutKick 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: and so I've been following all these details pretty closely. Now, 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: what happened was a black volleyball player, woman for Duke, 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: traveled out to BYU. They had over five thousand people 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: attend this women's volleyball match BYU versus Duke. It's in 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: provo on BYU's campus and Duke alleges this player for Duke, 15 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: this black woman alleges that someone was yelling racial slurs 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: at her. Turns into a huge story. Turns out it's 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: not true. It is Jessie Smallett on a volleyball court. 18 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: There are in all series and as if you guys 19 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: want to look up this story. I think many media 20 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: are pretending that it doesn't exist after initially all covering 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: the report. Oh how dare BYU fans have behaved this way? 22 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: And it's your typical mob justice, right, social media gets 23 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: all fired up. Everybody's angry at BYU. BYU doesn't investigation. 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: There's over five thousand people there, almost everybody has phones. 25 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: There isn't a single corroborating bit of evidence that any 26 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: racial slurs were ever used BYU. Police investigate, entire student 27 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: section is investigated. It didn't happen. So and I'll come 28 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: on and take this back. It's been a couple well 29 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: ten days or so now since this happened. If somehow 30 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: a legitimate clip emerges of misbehavior. In fact one, the 31 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: only person who was alleged to misbehave buck they duke 32 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: demanded that a special needs fan of BYU be removed 33 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: from the game because of his behavior. And they tried 34 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: to throw They tried to throw this kid. And I 35 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: don't know how old he is, so probably kids the 36 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: wrong word. But this special needs individual under the bus 37 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: and say he was the guy using the racial slur. 38 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: BYU investigated him. They watched him. He's standing right by 39 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: a cop. He didn't do anything either, So this story 40 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: has all fallen apart. There is zero evidence corroborating this 41 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: girl's accusation. Her godmother publicized it in a big way, 42 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: But she is running for elected office in the state 43 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: of Texas. She has an entire history the godmother does 44 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: of racist tweets that she has put out, and she's 45 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: previously been caught accusing someone of racism in the Texas 46 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: court system. According to reports, that was not actually true either, 47 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: So she's a race hoaxer, already proven to be a liar. 48 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: Once this whole has collapsed. Now the detail I want 49 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: to add. South Carolina has a women's basketball coach named 50 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: Don Staley. It's been very successful women's basketball coach. She 51 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: has decided over the weekend she canceled a home and 52 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: home basketball series for women's basketball with BYU, saying because 53 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: of these racist comments from BYU fans, she would not 54 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: allow her team to play against BYU. That's the background. Now, 55 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: South Carolina politicians have just written a letter to the 56 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: University of South Carolina saying this is unacceptable behavior for 57 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: a state university. They are demanding to know why South 58 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Carolina canceled this series, and they are laying out all 59 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: the facts that I just laid out about how this 60 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: is a huge it appears Jesse Smalleett on the volleyball 61 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: court hoax. Buck. I know you're not a sports guy, 62 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: but I wanted to lay out all the facts there. 63 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: I give immense props to South Carolina for diving in 64 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: here and actually being willing to address it. You know, 65 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: this story has died for the mainstream media because they 66 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: wanted to label everybody a BYU racist. When the evidence 67 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: doesn't come out, they just pretend this story doesn't exist. 68 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: But this is Jesse on a volleyball court. And you 69 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: know what will happen if they find definitively or if 70 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: they just come to the final conclusion, because there'll always 71 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: be people who say it was said it, we just 72 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: don't have it on tape. This is what happens in 73 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: these situations, right They'll say, well, even if it wasn't 74 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: factually true, it raises awareness about the racism that exists 75 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: in this country. Isn't that amazing that they can lie, 76 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: they can make stuff up, they can try to ruin 77 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: people's lives, which I always point out the people that 78 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: are initially caught up in the racism hoax stuff that 79 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: happens in colleges and corporations. You know, Oh, I found 80 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: a noose on my door. Really, where where the news 81 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: come from? And you look and you find out more, 82 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: Oh the individual put it there. This has happened dozens 83 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: and dozens of times in recent years. Remember what was 84 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: who was the NASCAR guy with Bubba Wallace with the 85 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: pull down thing on the rope with a pull rope, 86 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, And the FBI was deployed, right, or the 87 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: FBI must look into this because apparently how you not 88 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: a rope for a door is a federal crime? Now. 89 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: Um No, they will say that it's raising awareness. That's 90 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: always the fallback when they're caught in some kind of 91 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: of a lie. And what this is a remind or 92 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: do everybody is, first of all, it's so stupid to 93 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: think that this would happen and that this is somehow, 94 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, indicative of broader culture, or this is indicative 95 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: of what's happening in America day in and day out. 96 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: The shouting a racial slur at a sporting event in 97 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: America is the closest thing socially you can do to 98 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: lighting yourself on fire. I mean, your life is basically ruined. 99 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: Nobody you will be fired, you'll be kicked out of school, 100 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: nobody want to be around you. You'll be dragged on 101 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: social media for days and days. We actually treat racial 102 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: slurs now in this country, one in particular, but in general, 103 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: more broadly, racial slurs as this entirely separate area of 104 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: speech that is effectively now treated like action. So just 105 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: the saying of a word, not even the way it's 106 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: deployed or anything else, is enough to destroy someone's life 107 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: over and we really think we're raising awareness about how 108 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: all people are saying stuff. They are absolutely not saying 109 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: the stuff in public unless they want their lives destroyed. 110 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: But the left just ignores all of this because racism 111 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: is really at this point, the accusation is about pour 112 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: and power dynamics, and the left uses it as a 113 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: club to beat their opponents into submission. To be fair, buck, 114 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: it's even worse than many actions. If you were a 115 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: prominent figure, you're better off getting multiple DUIs than being 116 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: on tape using a racial slur. Right people will be like, oh, well, 117 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: you know you should have just gotten an uber, But 118 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,559 Speaker 1: we'll forgive you multiple times, probably for a DUI more 119 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: than they would for a tweet that was considered to 120 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: be inappropriate, or certainly for some sort of video act. 121 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: But this is to me particularly Buck, because Duke Lacrosse 122 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: in two thousand and six was one hundred percent of Y. 123 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: So while I'm disappointed at what South Carolina did, Duke 124 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Lacrosse to me is an interesting window here because the 125 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: majority white kids on Duke Lacrosse's team, Buck, they shut 126 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: down the entire season in two thousand and six over 127 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: a made up why from a stripper who later ended 128 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 1: up I believe she murdered somebody all from murder, yes, 129 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: and you know what, she should have gone to jail 130 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: for filing a false report, which we don't we actually, 131 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: oh no, we can't do that. She was a liar, 132 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: She tried to ruin people's lives, and then she murdered 133 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: a guy because she never faced justice for her first 134 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: violations of law, so she had no idea what the 135 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: consequences of her actions were going to be. Of course, 136 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: that the way that they I loved this story about 137 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: that lacrosse coach from Duke. Later on he went to 138 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: what was the University of Rhode Island or a school 139 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: in Rhode Island and turned after he was fired, and yep, 140 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: he was using the whole program. He did nothing, he 141 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: did nothing wrong, He had nothing so so there was 142 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: no rape of this stripper and beyond that, he had 143 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything. Duke threw him under the bus. 144 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: But then later on he was picked up by a 145 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: D two program and turned them into like a national powerhouse. 146 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: It's actually a very nice story of career redemption. Not 147 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: that he needed redemption for anything he did, but you know, 148 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: second chance for him. But by the way, you think 149 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: the New York Times or any of those outlets, or 150 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: you think Rolling Stone after they wrote that the hoax 151 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: gang rape story at University of Virginia, do they feel 152 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: bad about being wrong? No, you know why, Clay. They 153 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: were raising awareness about how women can't walk around campuses 154 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: in this country feeling safe or whatever. That's why I 155 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: want to tee off on Duke a bit for a 156 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: minute here too. Buck. Wouldn't you think that they would 157 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: at least wait for some element of corroboration before they 158 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: threw BYU under the bus. If you had been one 159 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: hundred percent wrong about an allegation involving your lacrosse team, 160 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't you wait and say, okay, let's just see some 161 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: of the details surrounding this. And the answer is they 162 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: didn't because the black woman was the victim in both 163 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: cases and they immediately accepted her word the stripper who 164 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: accused the duke lacrosse and now the black female volleyball player, 165 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: because they buy into the mindset that you are a 166 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: m based on your race and your gender, no matter 167 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: what the facts are. You know, that's the story here. 168 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: I often say that hypocrisy is a defining characteristic of 169 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: the left. There they're hypocrites, you know. This is the 170 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: private jet to Davos while telling everybody that they have 171 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: to use canvas bags and they have to ride a 172 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: bicycle to work. But another defining characteristic of the left 173 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: is cowardice in the face of the mob. Always, oh, 174 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: they are cowards when faced with the mob, with the group, 175 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: with the collective. That is it is a definitional trait 176 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: for leftists. And by leftists I mean democrats. And well said, 177 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: by the way, if you are a BYU alum, if 178 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: you are a fan one eight two eight two two 179 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: eight eight two, your university has been unfairly attacked. How 180 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: much of that negativity has registered and how unfair is 181 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: it that the Jesse Small att incident occurred on your basketball, 182 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 1: on your volleyball court, and all no one in the 183 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: media is going to acknowledge that they bought this hook 184 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: line and sinker and it was one hundred percent untrue. 185 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: I love to hear from some of you all as well. 186 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Inflation hard concept to make, easier to understand, particularly if 187 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: you're trying to explain it to your kids.

Understanding inflation how our 190 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: dollar works will have a lasting impact on your family 191 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: and how you make financial decisions.

We 210 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: are now joined by the Speaker of the Tennessee House, 211 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: Cameron Sexton. Mister Speaker, thank you for calling in. Thank 212 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: you all for having me today. So we talked at 213 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: some length yesterday about the vicious murder of Eliza Fletcher, 214 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: allegedly by Clayotha Abston Henderson. Clay brought to my attention 215 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: that you, first of all understand the laws at issue 216 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: here very well, but that also there was an effort 217 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: underway in the Tennessee State House to pass a law 218 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: that would have kept some like cleofa absent Henderson in 219 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: prison what do people need to know. I mean, this 220 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: case has gotten a lot of national attention. It's a 221 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: gut punch for everybody who reads about it. What do 222 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: we need to know about the laws here and how 223 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: the system failed. Yeah, So the law that we passed 224 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: this year rewrote violent criminal law in the state where 225 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: if you commit like this case, especially I read a kidnapping, 226 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: you have to serve one of the entire sentence. There's 227 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: no time for, no credits for good behavior, there's no 228 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: reduction in sentencing, there's nothing. You serve every single day. 229 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: The breakdown in the criminal justice system is you can 230 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: just look at Cleo as as the poster child for 231 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: this from juvenile crime where he was raping people, never 232 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: served really anytime up until he did, especially I read 233 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: a kidnapping in two thousand. So he gets out early 234 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: from Department of Corrections for some reason after he's had 235 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: all these infractions. Why he's in prison for drug possession, 236 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: weapon possession in decent exposure and then whenever he gets out, 237 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he committed crimes over the last two 238 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: years while he was out too. And then you had 239 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: a lady decide to go run and do her passion 240 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: one morning comes across him and he kills her, and 241 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: it's a total breakdown. And he should have not gotten 242 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: out early. He got out five years early because he 243 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: was a cook in the kitchen when he was in prison. 244 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: It's infuriating, and I just want to bring home to 245 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: everybody the case that we're talking about, because Tucker Carlson 246 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: started his show off with it last night. Eliza Fletcher, 247 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: mom of two. She was a marathon runner. She was 248 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: out for an early morning run in Memphis, Tennessee. This 249 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: guy who should have still been behind bars for committing 250 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: violent felonies, pulls up beside her, kidnaps and murders her. 251 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: According to the charges that have been filed against him, 252 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: he should have never been on the street and speaker sex. 253 00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: And I'm glad you're with us because I think this 254 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: is emblematic for what's going on nationwide that we were 255 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: talking about this recently. In Baltimore, for instance, there was 256 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: a study that found ninety percent, I think of all 257 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: the murders that had been committed in Baltimore were committed 258 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: by people that should have still been behind bars. You're 259 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: saying this guy got out early because he had worked 260 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: as a cook in a prison, despite the fact that 261 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: he had committed multiple violent acts throughout his life. If 262 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: he had still been behind bars, this mom, this mom 263 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: of two, the school teacher, would still be alive. Absolutely, 264 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: she would still be alive. And if we had truth 265 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: incidencing back in two thousand, like we started in July 266 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: one of this year, he would have been there for 267 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: five and more years. And all these soft on crime 268 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: groups who want to say, oh, we need to monitor 269 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: the feelings of these criminals, we have to give them 270 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: a reason to do realabilitation programs. That's a bunch of Milwaukee. 271 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: That's crazy. They need to serve their time, they need 272 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: to do every single day. We're going to announce a 273 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: committee here at the end of the day that's going 274 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: to look at his case and how this guy, with 275 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: this violent history, with all these things he did while 276 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: he was in prison, how he got out early, and 277 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: how he even got out without any kind of probation 278 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: or any kind of supervision. They just let him walk 279 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: out the door and said, hey man, good luck to you. 280 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: Speaking to it would be related to COVID because he 281 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: got out in November of twenty twenty two and a 282 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and I know there was an 283 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: attempt to get people out. I mean, this is crazy 284 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: that he was ever allowed out. It is where that's 285 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: one of the things we want to look into in 286 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: this committee. And you know the other thing is he 287 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: had a cell phone and he is posting why he's 288 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: in prison on his Facebook page, and he's posting all 289 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: these videos and he's posting when he's going to get out, 290 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: and and so this is this is awful. You had 291 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: a young lady who decided to go for a run 292 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: who never came home to her two kids. Because the 293 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: criminal justice system over the last in the twelve years 294 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: has been too lenient, and all these soft on crime 295 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: groups are all wanting to pat the criminals on the 296 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: butt as they go out the door and say we 297 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: believe in you, we know you're not going to commit 298 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: another crime. And as you all said, these violent criminals, 299 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: you can't rehab evil. Evil is evil and may need 300 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: to be in jail either the entire sentence or for 301 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: the rest of their lives. We're speaking to Speaker of 302 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: the Tennessee House, Cameron Sexton right now. Mister Speaker, what 303 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: we see work when it comes to public safety, criminal 304 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: justice in one state can be replicated in many others, 305 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: so it can have national implications. Obviously, right now there's 306 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: an enormous increase in violent crime that the whole country 307 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: is going through. Clay and I talk frequently about how 308 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: the roots of this are in progressive prosecutors, BLM, defunding police, 309 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: all of that leftist policy lunacy. What do you think 310 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: could be done in your state and what are the 311 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: additional measures that you might want to see see so 312 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: that you don't have, let's say Nashville turn into what 313 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: we've seen in Baltimore and Portland and some of the 314 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: cities in recent years that have had one hundred percent 315 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: increase in shootings or a fifty percent or a thirty 316 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: percent increase in murders. Well, the first thing we do 317 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: is we passed truth in Sentencing in our two counties, 318 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: Davison and Shelby where we have these George Soros Attorney generals. Well, 319 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: we're working with our state AG to clarify our law 320 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: and our ten. If you don't prosecute people, the state 321 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: can come in and remove you from office, period, no questions, 322 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: no ifs or zudsbuts about it. We're going to remove 323 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: you like this guy, Cleo. It wasn't like when he 324 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: walked out of jelly he was setting at home drinking 325 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: pepsi and eating jelly beans and going to Bible study 326 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: every night. And so we're going to do what we 327 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: need to do to protect society. Government's job is public 328 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: safety first and foremost. And your child to feel safe 329 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: walking home from school. You should be feel safe going 330 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: out for a run at anytime. We just had a 331 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: case in Knoxville, but there was bystanders out there that 332 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: jumped in to save the young lady who who was 333 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: about ready to get raped and kidnapped just a couple 334 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: of days ago or yesterday. And so this is a problem. 335 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: And we're going to do everything that we can in 336 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: Tennessee to push back on these liberal progressive agendas from 337 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: these people who are soft on crime. And we're going 338 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: to continue to pass juvenile crime bills. If you commit 339 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: adult crime, the juvenile needs to do adult time. There's 340 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: no you only go to prison until you eighteen. You 341 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: go for a long period of time. Speak your Saxon, 342 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: appreciate the time, and thanks for trying to address this craziness. 343 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you.

I mean, it was my life growing up 349 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: in New York City in the later eighties and early nineties. 350 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: I didn't think we'd ever go back to it. But 351 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: we decided, or rather some people in this country decided 352 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: to unlearn the lessons of the eighties and the nineties 353 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: about what works, what keeps us safe, and what's reality. Amen, 354 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: we need more police, and we need criminals behind bars 355 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: for most of their lives, and they commit violent offenses. 356 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: Business owners, let's get you some help in managing your 357 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: team in more of the right ways.

I'm Clay Travis. He's Buck Sexton. I can't 377 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: even keep up with all the attacks that we get 378 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: on a day to day basis out there in the media. 379 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: Most of the media that attacks us to be fair 380 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot smaller audiences certainly way worse hair. But we 381 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: were talking earlier Buck about this Jesse Smallet on a 382 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: volleyball court. The fact that there's zero corroborating evidence of 383 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: any race slur being uttered by anyone at BYU. The 384 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: entire story is falling apart. Well. USA Today, I was 385 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: made aware has got an editorial up. USA Today used 386 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: to be a widely read newspaper because it was given 387 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: away free to you if you stayed in a hotel 388 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: room anywhere, if you went to an airport anywhere. I'm 389 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: not sure that anyone has ever actually paid for USA 390 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: Today in their life, but it still exists, and there's 391 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: an article in there that is defending this duke volleyball 392 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: player and attacking anyone who is daring to raise questions 393 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: about the fact that there isn't a single bit of 394 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: corroborating evidence of her allegations against BYU. This is outrageous. Clay. 395 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: First of all, you were referred to as right wing 396 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: extremist Clay Travis in this article. Yeah, you are very reasonable. 397 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: If anyone's a right wing extremist here, it is b 398 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: all right. That is like, this is this aggression shall 399 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: not stand. Second of all, the guys in analysis is absurd. 400 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: He's like, she puts her career at risk by making 401 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: the allegation that is absolutely obviously false. People who bring 402 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: up these allegations and even if they're proven to be 403 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: a lie, I mean a straight up lie. They admitted 404 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: later on there's never any consequences none, So this is 405 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: just delusional. Yes, but yeah, you mentioned it. Right wing 406 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: extremist Clay Travis said the story of a ten year 407 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: old rape victim was a why it turned out to 408 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: be true. Of course, he and others are now back 409 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: to shovel more of the same. I didn't say it 410 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: was a why. If you guys remember that story, I 411 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: said that there was zero evidence, according to the Attorney 412 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: General of the state of Ohio, that this had occurred. 413 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: And then when charges were brought against a man for 414 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: raping that girl, we came on the radio and talked 415 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: about it the moment that it came up. So, look, 416 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: a job of someone who talks in the media on 417 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: a day to day basis should be to be as 418 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: honest with they can with their audience. When there are 419 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: things that appear to be untrue, We're going to discuss it. 420 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: When those things are then proven to be true, we're 421 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: going to discuss that. We address that story the next 422 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: day when there was an update to the story and said, well, 423 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: the AG said he had never heard of this, but 424 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: actually there are charges and an illegal migrant did rape 425 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: a very young girl in the state of Ohio. We 426 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: address the facts right away, and at to your point, 427 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,239 Speaker 1: the storyline on the right, from you, for me, from 428 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: anybody was never well, this is a lie. It's the 429 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: attorney general says that this is not a case. If 430 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: the attorney general in a state, we can only rely 431 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: on the facts as presented when the attorney general investigation, 432 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 1: so far as he knew, which is what we reported 433 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: and play yeah, and so far as the attorney If 434 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: you can't rely on the attorney general when he says 435 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: there's no case, what are we supposed to do or 436 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: he supposed to assume the attorney general is lying. I mean, 437 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: so it's absurd. But we got some by U athletes, 438 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: former athletes at BYU who want to weigh in on this. 439 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: We want to get to that. Yeah, let's do it. 440 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: We have Vanessa in Columbia, South Carolina, a former by 441 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: U hoops player. What's up, Vanessa, Good afternoon, how are you. 442 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: We're good? Thank you good well, thank you for giving 443 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: me the opportunity to speak. I have to chime in 444 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: just to add some bolstered support to BYU. Obviously had 445 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: the opportunity to be a BIU student athletes, and just 446 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: have to share that my journey was nothing but an 447 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: atmosphere of love and inclusion and kindness, refinement. And I've 448 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: got such a tremendous respect for both universities. I was 449 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: recruited to Duke, I played for by u UM. It's 450 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: heartbreaking to hear of this national divisiveness surrounding the event. 451 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: But all I can do is speak to my experience 452 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: and say it. You know, all I can use is 453 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: words like commendable in most respect to the athletic Let 454 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Vanessa. If if somebody, if somebody 455 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: in the in the stands at BYU had yelled a 456 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: racial slur at at a an athlete from a visiting 457 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: visiting school, in this case, Dude University, wouldn't the crowd 458 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: have been appalled by this? I would assume, so, you know, 459 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: and I think it's worth chiming in and should I 460 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: should share this? I sometimes hesitate to do so because 461 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: it's not something that's been very apparent to me, and 462 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: it's nothing that I've based negatively. But I am an 463 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: individual of African American heritage, so certainly sensitive to if 464 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: something were to have been slurred and stated I ironically 465 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: also now live in the state of South Carolina. But 466 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: I was slowly disappointed to hear when the game was canceled. Yeah, 467 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about that, because you are 468 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: maybe the most unique perspective. You played at BYU, you 469 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: now live in Columbia, South Carolina, so there's no corroborating 470 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: evidence that this occurred. It's a totally different sport. This 471 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: was women's volleyball. South Carolina women's basketball, which is a 472 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: wildly successful program. To Don Staley's credit, she has built 473 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: him into national champions. This would have been a big 474 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: deal you played at BYU. This would have been a 475 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: big deal for BYU and South Carolina to play against 476 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: each other. She canceled this series based on what appears 477 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: to be a non corroborated allegation against BYU. And it's 478 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: as a volleyball team right right against the volleyball Yeah 479 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: at all? How does that strike you as someone who 480 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: has good perspective on both ends here from both South 481 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: Carolina and BYU. Well, it's it's it's disheartening. I have 482 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of respect for her, what she's done 483 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: and what she's done for the program. I can understand 484 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: that their sensitivity around not wanting to expose your players 485 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: to something if you felt that that occurred. At the 486 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: same time, I think that there's an invitation to take 487 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: somewhat of a higher higher ground. I think backing away, 488 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: canceling a game, things like that would only if it 489 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: did occur, give power to the statements that had been made. Right, Yeah, 490 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: I mean the notion of thank you so much, Vanessa 491 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: a great call um. The notion play of collective punishment 492 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: in this case has people who have nothing to do 493 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: with any you know, it's not even like they said, 494 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: all right, we're clearing the stand somebody said a racial slur. 495 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: You could say, well, there are people there and we 496 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: can't know. The basketball team has nothing to do with 497 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: the volleyball team. The players have nothing to do with 498 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: the people in the stands, So who are you punishing here? Like, 499 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: what's never mind? I mean the fact that we right 500 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: now we're saying it doesn't even seem to be corroborated. 501 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: It is possibly entirely untrue. Why would you punish the 502 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: women's basketball team for this? It's a great question. And 503 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: also I wonder again we raise the issue that South 504 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: Carolina politicians. Thanks for the call, by the way, that 505 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: was fantastic for somebody who has perspective on both sides 506 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: there to have the South Carolina Legislature raising this, I 507 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: think very fair question of why are you lending credence 508 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 1: to the idea that this occurred when there's zero evidence 509 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: that had happened. But to your point, Buck, it's not 510 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: even the same sport, So effectively, what you're doing is 511 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: throwing all of BYU under the bus. And if you wonder, Buck, 512 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: why people are afraid to even address this in the media, 513 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: it's because they don't want USA Today to write negative 514 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: things about them. All I'm saying is, let's talk about 515 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: these facts in these details. And I'm a right wing 516 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: extremist for saying, hey, you go to get you corroborating evidence, right, 517 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: I need to get it the right wing extremist t shirt, Clay, 518 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: I don't you know this is lead into this one. 519 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean to get USA Today right. When you extremist 520 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: Clay Travis dares to question whether a racial slur was uttered, 521 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the job of media. Shouldn't we 522 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: be in the position of saying, hey, I'm a little 523 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: bit skeptical that this might have occurred. Woken means never 524 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: asking questions and never caring what's true. This is we 525 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: know this, This is the beginnings. This is one oh 526 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: one level. So woken doesn't matter if it's true or not. 527 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: It matters that it's raising awareness. By the way, speaking 528 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: of raising things, might be raising temperatures out in California 529 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: because the lights are going off, which means you're ac 530 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: maybe going off. We'll talk about it. Look out play 531 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: Travis and buck Sexton on the front lines of Welcome 532 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We are joined 533 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: now by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Appreciate you joining us, Senator, 534 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: And I want to jump right in. There seems to 535 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: be a lot of smoke suddenly around the Hunter Biden 536 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: story that many of us have known was one hundred 537 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: percent legitimate for essentially two years now, since this story 538 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: came out in October of twenty twenty. And I know 539 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: you talked about this a little bit with us recently, 540 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: but I want to dive into it with you again. 541 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: You were briefed by somebody at the FBI, Senator, and 542 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: you and correct me if I'm wrong on this. Who 543 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: was trying to tell you that the Hunter Biden story 544 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: was Russian disinformation as you were investigating and examining it. 545 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: And it sounds like the same kind of briefing that 546 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: Facebook got, Mark Zuckerberg said on Joe Rogan's podcast recently. 547 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: This appears to have been a concerted effort inside the 548 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: FBI to keep this from being a story and discourage 549 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: anyone who was asking questions about it at all. What 550 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: more do you know about this story and what can 551 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: you tell us? First of all, I think it's bigger 552 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: and broader than that. I mean, we had litterally an 553 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: intelligence product produced out of hold Clost that accused centigraph 554 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: An Eye of listening and disseminating Russian disinformation from a 555 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: guy I had never heard of, Andre Dirkotion. This was 556 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: actually published in February inside the CIA's the Newsletter Classified Newsletter, 557 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: and it was of course leaked to the press smearras. 558 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: So this is a February twenty twenty, you know, right 559 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: during covid is it's starting up, and so we continue 560 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: to be accused of the seminey Russian disinformation. So now 561 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: that we know from whistleblowers to Senator Grassey's office. The 562 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: FBI had developed a scheme in August of twenty twenty 563 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: to downplay the dirogatory information basically D sixty investigation. Now 564 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: will come to that briefing. On August six, I was 565 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: walking back from a vote my staff, So all of 566 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: a sudden walks up to me and Santa, you got 567 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: a briefly with the FBI. What's this about? What I 568 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: want to talk to you? So I go down there 569 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: and it's a completely BS briefing. Said you didn't really 570 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: say anythingsically about Hunter. Biden just said that we're a 571 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: target or Russian disinformation. I kind of look at him 572 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: like duh, I mean, is there any intelligence to back 573 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: up this briefing? And why did you call this? And 574 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: they had nothing, And so that's that's why I news 575 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: a setup, And I asked the right there who directed 576 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: this briefing? Guys, two years later, we've done multiple public 577 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: letters asking Christopher Ray Merrit Ireland, the DNI who directed 578 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: that briefing. We still don't know now it was a setup, 579 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: because nine months later it was leaked to the Washington 580 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: Post where they did a hit piece on me having 581 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: been briefed that I was targeted by Russian disinformation. Again, 582 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: so it's much larger than what just the FBI involvement. 583 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: By the way, who do you think coordinated? And I 584 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: have no evidence of this, but they're just right, Who 585 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: do you think coordinated? The writing of that letter by 586 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: fifty one form intelligence officials to trash the Hunter Biden 587 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: laptop said that it would have the earmarks of a 588 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: Russian information operation. So that letter was an information operation. 589 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: And by the way, the FBI and intels, his officials 590 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: and the news media interfered in our twenty twenty election 591 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: to a far greater extent than anything Russia or China 592 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: or any other foreign power could ever hope to a 593 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: chain in. They're just not willing to open up, you know, 594 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: they're not willing to own up to it and admit it. 595 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: We're speaking of Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Senator part 596 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: of any well, we're gonna have any hope of getting 597 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: real oversight, uh and and some real answers about what's 598 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: gone on with the FBI with regard to Hunter Biden, 599 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: the DJ Marlago Rate, a whole range of issues. Got 600 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: to have a Republican majority in the Senate for the 601 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 1: Senate to be able to do those kinds of fact 602 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: finding missions. Your opponent, Mandela Barnes, what do we need 603 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: to know about this individual's record and what's going to 604 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: be different if you were to look, what's the top 605 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: of the agenda? Shall I put it that way for 606 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: you versus Mandela Barnes, Well, he's a radical leftist. In 607 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: Chief's quoting, he's in a hiding. He's taking a page 608 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: out of Biden's playbook, and he's just staying way from 609 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: the press. No interviews, no access to no no answers 610 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: to questions. But we do know that he thinks the 611 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: founding of America's office. He thinks our national parks are racist. 612 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: I guess Old Faithful's racist. You again, he is that 613 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: he is a a radical leptises. He's for gun registration 614 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: at upset the people that valued the Second Amendment in Wisconsin, 615 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: that's for sure. He claims he really doesn't want to 616 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: defund the police, although he said everything but that he's 617 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: supported by the groups that leave the effort to defund police. 618 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: Says he doesn't want to abolish ice. Always got a 619 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: big old picture of him with a smile in his face, 620 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: holding up a t shirt that says abolish Ice. So again, 621 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: he can't be honest with Wisconsin voters. But the guys, 622 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm up against a huge challenge here. If we had 623 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: an honest media, It's not a little playing field. I mean, 624 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: I've got a media trying to take me out for 625 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: two years. But just think about what I said about 626 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: the FBI. They smeared me in May twenty twenty one, 627 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: and so there are people in Wisconsin think I'm some 628 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: kind of tool of Ladimir Prutin. Nothing could be further 629 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: from the truth. So the FBI now only impacted the 630 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, but they're impacting the twenty twenty two 631 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: Wisconsin US sending the election as well. So this corruption 632 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: in our agencies needs to be exposed. The American people's 633 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: serve the truth. And you're right. If I get reelected 634 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: and we have a majority, I'll be the chairman of 635 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: the Permanent Subcommand Investigation. I'll be like a mosquito in 636 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: a newdist Columny. It'll be a target rich environment. But 637 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to need help. Ron Johnson Senate dot com. 638 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: They've already spent more than fifty million dollars smearing me, 639 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: lying about lying about me, assassin and my character. Plus 640 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: they got the mainstream media in their corner and that 641 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: support is priceless to them. Senator, You've said this before, 642 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: but I think it's important. We're number one in Milwaukee, 643 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: We've got a massive audience all over your state. We're 644 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: talking about a fine razors edge decision here for the 645 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: people of Wisconsin. It's gonna be a close race. What 646 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: would you tell people out there? They may be your supporters, 647 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of independent people to your point, 648 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: who may not pay a lot of attention on a 649 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: day to day basis. They know that you have been 650 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: and I think it's fair to say targeted by the 651 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: same people who tried to target President Trump in twenty twenty. 652 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who don't want you 653 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: asking those questions in the Senate. What would you tell 654 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: your supporters to tell people who may not know enough 655 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 1: about you, what they can say to help get more 656 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: supporters in this tent? Given how close this election is 657 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: going to be, well, first of all, talk about the 658 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: main issues that are concerning wisconsinized. I mean, it is 659 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: forty year high inflation, record, gasoline prices rising, criming, we 660 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: don't have enough baby formula. They're the open borders which 661 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: create the lanes for the deadly drugs killing our citizens. 662 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: Saw those issues that Democrats cannot talk about. They can't 663 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: defend their records. So all they have our lies, characters, assassination, 664 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: and the politics personal destruction. So in terms of defending myself, 665 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: I've got a pretty good record of accomplishment in the US. 666 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: And I'm the guy that made sure that more than 667 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: twenty million business tax filers got a tax cut without me, 668 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: only five cent American businesses the sea corps who have 669 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: got a tax cut. I'm the guy because I'm a 670 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: private sector guy. I'm a small business guy. I recognize that, 671 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: and dug my heels in until that happened. The champion 672 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 1: that writes try law which is saving people's lives. And 673 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, we're doing something Wisconsin called the Joseph Project, 674 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: which is transforming wise people formerly incarcerated drug and alcohol 675 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: abusers by getting him good paying jobs in manufacturing and 676 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: it's transform their lives. So I've a I've got a 677 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: great track record. I am what you really want in 678 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: a member of Congress. I lived a full life, raised 679 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: a family, had for a career in manufacturing any ship 680 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: jobs overseas. I ship plastics to China. Okay, I'm an account. 681 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: We're thirty point eight trillion dollars in debt. You need 682 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 1: somebody that understands numbers. Not enough people here do that. 683 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: And he also need somebody who has the courage to 684 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: help people the truth relentlessly. So again, I you know, 685 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: I think the choice is quite obvious. But Mandel Barnes 686 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: is going to hide from Wisconsin. That's who he is, 687 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 1: and the mainstream media is going to back him all 688 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: the way. Senator Ron Johnson, where can people go to 689 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: help out? Donate, do what they can. Ron Johnson, Percentate 690 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: dot Com And if you want to find out the truth, 691 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: wis facts dot com. Wis Facts. I write up all 692 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: three bottles to the major lies. It's kind of hard 693 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: to keep track of all of them. But Ron Johnson 694 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: for Senate dot Com. And again, they've spent well over 695 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars smearing me and lying about me. So 696 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna need to spatially help to corn to those lies. Well, 697 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of Wisconsin ies listening now, and 698 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: I think they recognize how important it is that we 699 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: keep you in the Senate.
