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 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. By the way, 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna be joined by Senator rand Paul in the 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: third hour of the program. I believe he is our 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: only scheduled guest right now, though maybe herschel Walker might 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: reach out and give us a call during the course 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: of today's show, as we certainly are dealing with that 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: runoff that is continuing. But wanted to make sure that 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: you're not missing what is going on right now with 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden still has not been to the southern border 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: since I believe Buck two thousand and eight. The Biden 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: campaign in two thousand and eight came somewhat close to 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: the player. Can I just put this in the proper 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: contest because I tracked this one down. I think this 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: is so interesting. They haven't even been to the border 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: if you include two thousand and eight, meaning Joe Biden 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: and his team. Joe Biden and landed in El Paso, Texas, 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: which is a city in Texas. Yes, it is along 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: the border, but he did not actually go in fact, 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: he land at the airport and headed north. Okay, so 22 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,919 Speaker 1: he hasn't even been to the border if you count 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: two thousand in or maybe it was east, but he left, 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: he didn't go to the border. As the point, I 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: can't remember very well, but he has never been to 26 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the border. Clay is the end of the story. Yes, 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: that is their argument. They tried it. It It doesn't make 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: him look much better that they cite two thousand and eighty. 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: It would be like if I said I've been to 30 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: disney World. Right, if I tell you, Clay, I've been 31 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: to disney World, I'll give you all the Disney World 32 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: rex you want. And you're like, great, Bucks are telling 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: me about your Disney World experience. I was like, well, 34 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: I landed in the Orlando airport and then I drove 35 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: down to Fort Lauderdale. That is Joe Biden's version of 36 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: going to the border. I, by the way, can give 37 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 1: you every possible detail you need on Disney World because 38 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: I have been to every theme park in America. It 39 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: feels like since I had three boys, this is something 40 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: you have to look forward to. Buck, whether it's Lego Land, 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: whether it's Universal Studios, whether it is water parks, all 42 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: over the place, and certainly the Disney experience with the 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: three Boys, I've been to them all. Having said all 44 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: of this, Peter Doocy, you want to actually give Pulitzer 45 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: prizes out Miranda Divine, who we had on yesterday. Let 46 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: me just give Miranda Divine some praise in that interview 47 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: that we had yesterday. One reason to subscribe to the 48 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: podcast is we know you're all super busy and it's 49 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: sometimes hard to make sure that you hear everything. Miranda 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: Divine yesterday, Buck in the twelve thirty segment, if I 51 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: remember correctly, you can go listen to an hour one 52 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: on the podcast was phenomenal and it's something that I 53 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: think everybody who listens to this show should listen to 54 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: if you are concerned at all about big tech censorship collusion, 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: which frankly, I believe everyone in this audience should be. 56 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: Having said that Joe Biden was talking at the White House, 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: Peter Doocey, who also Buck, should get every award because 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: he's almost the only person speaking truth to power inside 59 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: the White House on a day to day basis. Biden 60 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: is headed to Arizona. Peter Doocey outside the White House 61 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: as he is preparing, I believe to leave. Asked Biden, Hey, 62 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: while you're in Arizona, big border state with a lot 63 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: of border issues, maybe it would make sense to go 64 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: by the border. Here's that exchange. Listen, why go to 65 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: a border state and not think it's a border because 66 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: they're more important thing going on. They're going to get 67 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: jillions of dollars more important things. Buck. When you hear 68 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: the President of the United States who's going to a 69 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: border state say there's more important things going on, that 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: should be a clip that is grabbed in US by 71 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Republicans because given the state of our border, there really 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: is if you're in Arizona and you're in Texas, very 73 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: few things at all that are more important than the 74 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: absence of border security. And I do think that all 75 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: of the all the polling for the mid term, especially 76 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: in border states, show that I legal immigration was a 77 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: high level issue. But back to our other point, if Republicans, 78 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: even within the Republican Party, have other things that are 79 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: gonna make them tickets split, you're not gonna you know, 80 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: immigration is not going to overcome that. But it is 81 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: a huge issue right now for us one to just 82 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: make the case about I think the American people. We're 83 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: being a little bit. There's a little bit of an 84 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: incremental nonchalant attitude to this. Right over time you get 85 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: you get exposed to the number, oh, two hundred thousand 86 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: this month, two hundred thousand next month. This is crazy, everybody. 87 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: The border is wide open. And you had just yesterday 88 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: Kirsten Cinema of Arizona Tom Tillis of North Carolina circulating 89 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: what they were calling Clay, a draft framework on immigration reform, 90 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: and the basics of it are create more more processing 91 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: centers for streamlined entry into the United Remember, we already 92 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: have processing centers, they're called ports of entry. The people 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: who are showing up are not going to the ports 94 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: of entry because they're coming into the country illegally and 95 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: they don't even want to wait at a port of entry, 96 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: so and they're overwhelming border patrol by doing so, which 97 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: also then means that the fentile just flows through unrestricted, 98 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: which is what's happening right now. I mean, this, all 99 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: this stuff is tied together. But the part of it 100 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: that I found the most hilarious. First of all, some 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: of the even GEOP senators are saying, we haven't like this. 102 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: This is a, no go. We haven't talked about this 103 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: because I think they realized the Gang of Eight was 104 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: a real moment that was during the Obama administration where 105 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: you had some Republican senators going along and when people 106 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: really got winto what it was amnesty yea, and they 107 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: felt that they felt that bait and switch coming here. 108 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: The funniest part in the draft framework that they were 109 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: sending around was they were saying, oh, an expedited removal 110 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: for those who are not allowed to stay. We're not 111 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: doing any removals right now until you change that. I mean, 112 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: when I say any someone's gonna say yes we are, okay, 113 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: there's you know, if you're like our MS thirteen assassin 114 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: and you've killed a couple of people, yes we may 115 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: remove you know, we're not doing any real scale interior 116 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: enforcement in the country. And until you change that, all 117 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: this other stuff is nonsense, Clay, because you're just incentivizing 118 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: making it easier for people to come in illegally and 119 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: making it easier for them to get in process to stay. 120 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: So you're just gonna get more I legal immigration, right 121 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: And that's what even you hear from the immigrants themselves. 122 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Is the reason why they started coming in overwhelming numbers. 123 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: Is because Joe Biden won the election, and they all 124 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: pass that message down along throughout Latin America and beyond. 125 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: The southern border in America is open and Democrats want 126 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: you to be able to cross the border and enter 127 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: into the United States. And the other part of this 128 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: that I think is very significant, Buck, is if you 129 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: want to work on immigration reform, that's certainly something that 130 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: the United States government should war con I don't want 131 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: it to happen during a lame duck session when a 132 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: bunch of senators that no longer have any power are 133 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: suddenly deciding to vote on something on their way out, 134 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: when they don't have to face the voters over the 135 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: decisions that they make. That's the opposite of democracy, right. 136 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't like lame duck sessions period. And we talked 137 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: about this for months leading up to the race itself, 138 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: that if Republicans took control of some of the Houses 139 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: of Congress in the midterms, that there would be an 140 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: attempt because the Biden administration knows that effectively the gears 141 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: of legislative movement are going to slow down and or 142 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: hopefully stop. For the most part, they're going to try 143 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: to push through as much as they can in this 144 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: lame duck session. And what are we seeing a lot 145 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: of lame duck movement even with this stupid January sixth 146 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: committee which is still going. They're never gonna end. They 147 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, if I could have a way 148 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: of a magic wand I'd like a time investigatory dive 149 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty election, in particular big tech collusion. 150 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: I'd like to have that in primetime. I'd like to 151 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: have these Twitter executives, these FBI officials who were involved 152 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: in rigging the twenty twenty election. They want to focus 153 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: on January sixth. I'd like to have that. And I'd 154 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: like to have a primetime hearing on all the fauci 155 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: news and everything else associated with COVID. But they're trying 156 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: to drag out this January sixth thing as long as 157 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: they possibly can soil they gavel officially pot passes. And 158 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: that's not a surprise that they're going into this. But Buck, 159 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: we said, this was one of our fears, was what 160 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: might happen in this lame duck session when they're a 161 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: bunch of Congressmen and senators who are not returning to 162 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: office that decide that they want to do something politically. 163 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: If you want to be if you're a Republican too, 164 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. You want to be on 165 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: the boards of companies and you want to be invited 166 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: into the corridors of power when you're anything that has 167 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: to do with amnesty. Corporate America, everyone should understand this, 168 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: this bipartisan two Corporate America overwhelmingly wants amnesty, wants more illegals. 169 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: And some of these corporations. We talked about Disney a lot. 170 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: Disney had a program I was I remember talking with 171 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: this um when I was filling in for Rush maybe 172 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, so seven years ago. It's been a while. 173 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: The Envy Obama administration and Disney had a plan where 174 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: they had people when they were bringing in the H 175 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: one B visa holders, they were firing people clay and 176 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: then making them train their replacements. That. Yeah, so big 177 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: companies love love to be able to exploit illegal immigrant labor. 178 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: Of all. So don't you know the Chamber of Commerce, Republicans, 179 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: you can't trust them. And when you see what's happening 180 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: right now, I think they're trying to lay the groundwork 181 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: for anything that does not secure the border first, meaning 182 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: that we shut down the illegal flow is just is 183 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,479 Speaker 1: just an amnesty starter. It's just a nonstarter. It's an amnestyploy. 184 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: Anything that doesn't get the crossings down to their lowest 185 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: level twenty years illegal crossings is a non starter, no doubt. 186 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: We'll continue to break this down for you as this 187 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: lame duck session continues.

Senator. It seems like there is 244 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: a great deal of activity that is trying to be 245 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: rushed through between now and when the new Congress will 246 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: be sworn in. How nervous do you think Republicans should 247 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: be about what is going on right now in the 248 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: lame duck session? How much is likely to get pushed through? 249 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: Where are we Let's start there. If you are a 250 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: conservative anywhere in the country, you should be worried and 251 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: you should be alarmed that Republicans are going to give 252 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: away the House. There's going to be an enormous spending 253 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: bill by Pelosi and Schumer and most of the ablishment 254 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Republicans up here. We'll vote for it. So if we 255 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: want to have any hope of trying to control this 256 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: debt and this monster spending, people need to call their 257 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: legislator and tell them absolutely, under no conditions, vote for 258 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: the Pelosi Schumer monstrosity. It is going to be over 259 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: a trillion dollars in new debt. It'll be thousands of 260 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: pages it's being written in secret, and it'll be divulged 261 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: a couple of hours before we vote on it, and 262 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: then they'll say, oh, take it or leave it, or 263 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: shut down government. But I'd say leave it because they're 264 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: going to fund eighty seven thousand RS agents And I 265 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: think Republicans should fight. We should take back the power 266 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: of the purse. And I think we should fight. I 267 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: think our voters expect us to put up a fight 268 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,359 Speaker 1: and not to just roll over and give the Democrats 269 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: everything they want. Hey, Center, Paul, it's buck. What would 270 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: that fight look like? Where could we take this and 271 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: what would be in your mind a successful outcome here 272 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: to stand and hold back all this crazy spending and 273 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: the Democrat agenda with it. If forty one Republicans stood 274 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: together in the Senate, we can stop any spending plan 275 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: coming from Pelosi and Schumer. It takes forty one of us, 276 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: but there's ten to fifteen of us who will vote 277 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: with the Democrats and do every time. So really, this 278 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: makes a nationwide effort of everybody determining who those ten 279 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: to fifteen are that are going to vote for the 280 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: Pelosi Schumerville and tell them not to. But we have 281 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: the votes. It's like we are not a majority, but 282 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: we have forty one votes, and that is the beauty 283 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: of the filibuster. Forty one Republicans can stop this, and 284 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: then there'll be a negotiation. I think it should be 285 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: a very short term spending package. And then let's let 286 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: the Republicans were just elected to take over the House, 287 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: have some power, have some say in this. Right now, 288 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: the big government Republicans are negotiating with Democrats to spend 289 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: a year's worth of money. And here's what they'll do 290 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: to the debt ceiling. You know it used to be 291 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: they would raise the debt ceiling by a dollar amount. 292 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: Their plan is to do exactly what they've been doing 293 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: the last couple times and raise it whatever amount of 294 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: dollars can be spent in a period of time. So 295 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: if the bill is a year's bill, they will say 296 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: a year from now, you can spend as much money 297 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: as you can possibly spend. There is no limit on 298 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling for one year. That is extraordinarily bad. 299 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: This is a big, terrible deal, and people have to 300 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: get rallied and say enough enough, your Republicans say that 301 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: you are worried about spending in the debt, and yet 302 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: you play games and vote for the vote with the 303 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: Democrats to spend more money. So this is a big deal, 304 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: and we do have the votes to stop it, but 305 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: it would take forty one Republicans in the Senate with 306 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: the courage to say no. Center Paul, there's also another 307 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: very courageous thing that needs to be done, and I 308 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: think you've been one of the foremost proponents of this. 309 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: We need to let everybody who lost their jobs, certainly 310 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: in the military, be able to come back and get 311 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: back pay buck, And I've been arguing about this. You've 312 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: been on the forefront of making this argument for a 313 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: long time. Where do we stand on that as a 314 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: part of the Defense Department bill and what is likely 315 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: to happen going forward in that negotiation and in that 316 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 1: vote in your mind? Well, the Conservatives in the Senate, 317 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: we led a letter last week, twenty of assigned a 318 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: letter saying we won't vote to get on the Defense 319 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: Authorization Bill unless we have a vote first on getting 320 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: rid of the mandate. The mandate that says in the 321 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: military you either get vaccinated for COVID or are discharged 322 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: from your job. And many thousands of people have been 323 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: let go, and every day new people don't sign up. 324 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: I have a family member right now that would like 325 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: to go to a camp to prepare himself and to 326 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: see what it's like to go to a military academy. 327 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: But he doesn't want to go because he has to 328 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: be vaccinated and he's already had COVID. And so this 329 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: is the ridiculous nature of this. But twenty of assigned 330 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: a letter, and then we heard the good news that 331 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: leadership had heard us, and leadership was negotiating on our behalf, 332 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: and that they had a deal that the vaccine mandate 333 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: would be gotten rid of in the Defense Authorization Bill. 334 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: Then Biden stood up and said no, and the Republicans blanked, 335 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: and apparently the story we're now is that the military 336 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: mandate to be vaccinated for COVID stays in the bill. 337 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: And what people need to know about this is number one, 338 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: the vaccine doesn't stop infection, it doesn't stop transmission. And 339 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: for young people, they don't get very sick from this. 340 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't really affect whether they'll be sick or not. 341 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: The last thing, and this is most important, the risk 342 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: of an inflammation of the heart is greater for males 343 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty four. That's probably nearly ninety five percent 344 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: of our recruits are males, probably between the ages of 345 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty four, and they're at higher risk for 346 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: getting an inflammation of the heart than they are for 347 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: having complications from COVID. The risk of the vaccine for 348 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: young males actually outweighs the benefits, and they're so the 349 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: science isn't with them. But also it's deterring people. You know, 350 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: some people have started to say that really, this is 351 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: a master plan for getting rid of conservatives and religious 352 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: people from our military ranks, and it's a master plan 353 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: and for preventing them from ever joining. Think about it 354 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: and think who are the young people are who are 355 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: joining our military. They're predominantly from rural communities, religious communities. 356 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: They're patriotic, they're willing with their life on their line. 357 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: And then these woke folks at the Defense Department are 358 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: now saying, no, you have to do as you're told, 359 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: even though it won't prevent infection or transmission. Speaking of 360 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: Senator around Paul, Senator wondering if if you can weigh 361 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: in on the reporting that your colleague on the Republican side, 362 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: the Senator Tillis and Kirsten Cinema from Arizona are trying 363 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: to get some kind of immigration package through right now. 364 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: Is that is that just not Is that a no go? 365 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: Or is that going to be a serious thing going forward. 366 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm actually not aware of the deal that they're working on. 367 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: I think it's very unlikely that any big things pass 368 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: in this Congress. You know, come January as a brand 369 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: new Congress Congress, so all the bills start over in January. 370 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: I think what's going to happen in the next two 371 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: weeks before Christmas time and then we're out for a 372 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: week or so at Christmas is there's going to be 373 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: probably a Defense authorization bill. My guess is that they 374 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: will continue to have the mandate for a vaccine in 375 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: the military, and I also guess is they won't allow 376 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: any amendments from conservatives, so conservatives will be completely boxed 377 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: out of this. I think they're also extending the draft 378 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: to women in this bill as well. But the thing 379 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: is is they're going to do that bill, and they'll 380 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: probably do the spending bill, and I think that's all 381 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: that gets done. I'd be very very surprised if a 382 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: immigration bill came forward unless they're talking about next year 383 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: or sometime. We're talking to Senator Rand Paul Kentucky. He 384 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: won reelection last month. The Twitter files that were released 385 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: on Friday evening by Elon Musk having to do with 386 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, and what I think most people listening to 387 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: us right now would agree is collusion between big tech 388 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: and the Biden campaign so far proven. Also maybe the 389 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: FBI involved. What should happen? What was your reaction to 390 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: those revelations from Elon Musk relating to Twitter. You know, 391 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 1: I love seeing the inside story of what you know 392 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: the left in folks at big tech have been doing 393 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: the censor speech. I have always been worried though about 394 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: some conservatives thinking that we should regulate big tech and 395 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: tell them what speech they have to put on their forums. 396 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: I do think though there is an avenue for us, 397 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: but the avenue is going after the government, and the 398 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: First Amendment cases have shown. There's a First Amendment case 399 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: by the name of Luger versus Edmondson Oil, and it 400 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: says that the government cannot sort of commandeer a private 401 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: actor if they are working intimately with a private actor, 402 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: to have the private actor be sort of the strugate 403 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: that censor speech that then they are acting as an 404 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: arm of the government. This is what we'll have to 405 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: be debated in court. But in Congress, what I'm proposing 406 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: is is that we put limits consistent with the Supreme 407 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: Court cases that say the government cannot collude with big tech. 408 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: This isn't really so much a rule on big tech. 409 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: Big tech will still be free to do what they want, 410 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: but the government, the FBI can't be having weekly meetings. 411 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: And this is what's going on. The FBI is having 412 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: weekly meetings. But it's not about preventing terrorists from organizing 413 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: on Facebook. It's about preventing people from discussing the election, 414 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: complaining about the election, complaining about COVID, complaining about masks, 415 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: people like me who have said a million times that 416 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: cloth masks don't work, that, according to the government, is 417 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: disinformation and that will be blocked. But once this happens, 418 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: we're in a real problem, and the government is actively 419 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: working with big tech to do this. We are going 420 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of this. We are going 421 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: to explore this. I've told my staff I want to 422 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: know about these meetings. We are going to insist on 423 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: the documents that record these meetings. We're going to insist 424 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: on being included. If the FBI's meeting with big tech, 425 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: people from Congress should be in the room. The first 426 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: of all, these meetings shouldn't happen. But if they're going 427 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: to happen, and they're going to completely defy us, then 428 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: we are going to be president and find out what's 429 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: being discussed there. This is a big deal, and we're 430 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: going to do everything within our power. I'm going to 431 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: be introducing legislation that makes it against the law for 432 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: government to collude with big tech, not only collude to 433 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: censor speech. But I don't like the idea of big 434 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: government buying our anonymous information, such as our buying habits. 435 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: And then this is what I ask Ray, but he 436 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't answer. I think they're penetrating the anonymous veil of 437 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: data and attaching individuals to it. Asking this directly, and 438 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: he wouldn't answer the question. But I suspect that the 439 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: government buys up reams and reams of information but then 440 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: uses their databases on people to connect information and habits. 441 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: What you read, what you buy, what you're interested in 442 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: online is then connected to individuals. That absolutely is illegal. 443 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: But we have to get to the bottom of whether 444 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: they're doing it or not, and so far they have 445 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: not been forthcoming. Last question for you, Senator Paul a 446 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: runoff election. For people listening to us in Georgia right now, 447 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: what's the difference in diverdence in the Senate between fifty 448 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: fifty and fifty one forty nine. It's a difference between 449 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: whether or not I have a voice in investigating the 450 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: COVID origins. I am pushing hard to get Democrats to 451 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: investigate this, but a fifty fifty Senate allows us equal 452 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: representation on the committees. So if you're a libertarian in 453 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: Georgia and you think both parties stink, which is often true, 454 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: and you vote for a libertarian, this time there's no libertarian. 455 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: The choice is Republican versus Democrat. And I'm a libertarian 456 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: leaning Republican. If they want me to have more of 457 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: a voice, it really isn't so much about the candidate, 458 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: it's about which one is the Republican who's going to 459 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: give me more power within the committee system will make 460 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: my voice stronger in Washington. And look, I'm an equal 461 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: or ecumenical complainer about both parties, and they're spending habits 462 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: and if people want to hear that, and many libertarians do, 463 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: and many people who are frustrated with the system who 464 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: don't vote, they need to know that a vote for 465 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: herschel Walker is actually a vote to help me have 466 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: a bigger voice. Get out there at Georgians, get it 467 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: done today, Senator Round Paul, appreciate you being with us. 468 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

Yes, 499 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats blocked, I should say they blocked an amendment 500 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: for the Respect Respect for Marriage Act that would add 501 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: additional protection for religious institutions and for effectively religious belief 502 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: to not be engaged in compelled speech or to vi 503 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: hilate core principles and tenets of their beliefs. So that's 504 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: going on right now. I mean in the background of 505 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: what we're about to tell you here. On the legal side, 506 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: there is this Respect for Marriage Act that is supposed 507 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: to be a codification of oberg Fell, the Supreme Court 508 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: decision that then declared that same sex marriage was constitutional, 509 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: And here we are now seeing this play out through 510 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: the legislature. Well, you also have this case that was 511 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: heard yesterday. It's very interesting and we'll try to break 512 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: it down into ways that doesn't get a little too 513 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: in the weeds on the legal side, but it really does, 514 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: I think matter as well and tells us where all 515 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: of this is going when it comes to the First Amendment, 516 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: particularly as it pertains to speech, but also free exercise 517 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: of religion and religious freedom. So you have this case 518 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: Clay three oh three, Creative LLC versus Elanis. I think 519 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: I read this. I did not listen to the World arguments. 520 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: I read the transcript of it. And here's what is 521 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: that issue you had in Colorado? Once again Colorado, just 522 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: like Masterpiece Cake Shop, this is an out growth of 523 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: that case. They are connected. So for people out there 524 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: who remember the cake baking case. This is the next 525 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: evolution of that. So the central dispute here is public 526 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: accommodations law versus compelled speech. And what happened was a 527 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: three O three Creative is a company that builds websites. 528 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: Web designer Laurie Smith has this studio, three oh three Creative. 529 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,479 Speaker 1: They make websites four weddings. I've been doing enough weddings 530 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: to see this. You know. It's like, you know, Bob 531 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: and Tammy are getting married, and like here their registry 532 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: and here's the information and that kind of stuff. So 533 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: Laurie Smith wanted three h three Creative LLC Limited Liability 534 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: Corporation to be able to put on her website preemptively 535 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: that she didn't want. This was just argued yesterday the 536 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. I will say that even in the transcript, 537 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: it comes across that justice is Jackson and Soda Mayor 538 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: are ferociously hostile toward this position that has been taken here, 539 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: and just in general, I mean, for them, there is 540 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: no anybody who doesn't see marriage, you know, gay marriage, 541 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: same sex marriage, heterosex or traditional marriage is all the same. 542 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: They views as a bigot along the lines of somebody 543 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: who opposes interracial marriage, for example, they see no distinction. 544 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: That justices I think make that those two justices make 545 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: that very clear in their view of it. But Clay, 546 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: this Laurie Smith wants to put on her website that 547 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: she will not create websites for the weddings of same 548 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: x couples ahead of time, and then linked to here 549 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: are some other great web designers that will do this 550 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: for you. And so she she's bringing the case because 551 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: she wants to know whether this is legal or not 552 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: under the Colorado statutes that apply. And what I think 553 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: was really interesting was the back and forth over both 554 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: sides agree that providing chairs, providing you know, sandwiches, you know, 555 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: a number of things, provision of basic services can't be 556 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: You can't discriminate whether or not you're gonna sell chairs 557 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: to somebody's wedding because you don't agree with the wedding. 558 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: But is it speech to create a website that will 559 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: talk about a wedding? And there was a lot of 560 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: back and forth over this one. And there's a big 561 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: takeaway we can get into here, but this this is 562 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: the legal weeds, Clay, what did you find in them? 563 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: I love this case Okay, so the warrior in me 564 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: when you are this is like a law school hypothetical. 565 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: So most lawyers, if you're interested in law school at all, 566 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: the way that you get your grade is an end 567 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: of the semester exam most of the time, and that 568 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: end of the semester exam will give you an unsettled, 569 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: oftentimes legal hypothetical that you have to analyze as if 570 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: you are a lawyer. And Buck, this reads like a 571 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: legal hypothetic question to me as I work through it 572 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: and think about this from a judge perspective. What the 573 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: distinction here has to be made is between unique talent 574 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: versus generalized work. And let me explain that in a 575 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: little bit more of a concrete fashion. So, Buck, you 576 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: and I will sometimes give speeches, right, will be paid. 577 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: We'll go to different parts of the country, and we'll 578 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: speak to groups. We are available to be booked on 579 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: websites typically speakers are, but we don't accept every single opportunity. 580 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,239 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because the schedule is booked that's typically for me, 581 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: or I don't want to go to that part of 582 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: the country because I've got a kids event that I'm 583 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: going to try to be at. You know, there's all 584 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: different sorts of reasons why and then sometimes maybe although 585 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: it depends, but I don't believe I've done this because 586 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: you don't agree with the group that wants you to speak, 587 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: we aren't compelled to take those offers. Similarly, if you 588 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: are a musician and you have a so maybe sometimes 589 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: you pay wedding play weddings, you don't have to accept 590 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: every wet offering. So to me, what unites here for 591 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: the cake and also the website is the question of 592 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: are they creating a unique enough experience? Is the cake 593 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: tailored and created in such a unit's website and now 594 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: it's a website, right, And they kind of dodge the 595 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: question on the cake, right, they kind of punted it 596 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: on what exactly. I think they procedurally decided to way 597 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: down I understand it. And it was six three. Keep 598 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: in mind Colorado Federal Circuit Court in Colorado and then 599 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: Appeals Court in Colorado. I guess it was the ninth. 600 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: The ninth Circuit ruled against the Masterpiece cake shop and owner, 601 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: and then eventually the Supreme Court came down sixty three 602 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: in his favor. But a lot of people point out 603 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: Clay that that outcome years of first of all, getting 604 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: living to be the wrong, the wrong constitutional outcome twice 605 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: from federal courts, uh first to circuit, then then appeals 606 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: and then having to go to the Supreme Court. The 607 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: process is the punishment at some levels. And so and 608 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: they haven't stopped, and people don't even really know about 609 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: this or should know more about it. Then the activists, 610 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: the sort of LGBTQ plus more extreme activists even started 611 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: showing up and they wanted him to make you know, 612 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: Satan cakes. You know, they're really just you know, trying 613 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: trying to constantly harass this guy. In this instance, she's 614 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: claiming that the creation of the website is a creative 615 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: act because of what she puts into it and everything else. 616 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: So if there was an off the shelf website, yeah 617 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: you she could s because that was the cake holding was. 618 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: If you have like a cake, let's say you got 619 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: a lemon meringue, well that's a pie. You've got a 620 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, a chocolate strawberry frosted cake. The Masterpiece cake 621 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: shop has to sell it to a gay couple, for example, 622 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: but they can't make him write on it, you know, 623 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: congratulations on your wedding. You know, Bob and Bill or whatever. 624 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: That was essentially the way this also would apply Buck, 625 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: and I think it's interesting to me. It's the distinction 626 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: between if there is a unique creative element that you 627 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: are bringing to bear as a part of the production 628 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: of your content, then you can make choices about whom 629 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: you decide to work for. If you are, for instance, 630 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: just doing like your point there, if you have think 631 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: about it, if you're out there like me and you 632 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: go into a we buy a lot of ice cream 633 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: cakes right for kids, because the kids love ice cream 634 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: cakes for birthdays. They have a lot of the ice 635 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: cream cakes already prepared, and it might say generically on it, 636 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: happy birthday, and you can just go take that out 637 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: of the counter, you take it up, you buy it. 638 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't have any specified uniqueness to it. You should 639 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: have to sell that right, Congratulations on your wedding. It's 640 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: a generic cake that's already available in your store, as 641 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 1: soon as you are saying I want this particular message 642 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: written on it or a specific design for that cake. 643 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: To me, that's a unique talent, and that's a distinguish. 644 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: That to me is the distinguishing. That's the creative process 645 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: that they that they found was a distinguishing the same 646 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,479 Speaker 1: way that they can't have you right, there is no God, 647 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: for example, on a cake or something like that. It's 648 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 1: it's that's the compelled speech doctrine. So you have compelled 649 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: speech versus public account nations, which is, you know, you 650 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: can't say my restaurant will only serve you know, my 651 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: restaurant will only serve Asian people. That's illite, right, right, 652 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: Or I will only rent my home to people of 653 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,479 Speaker 1: Samoan ancestry or whatever it may be. You can't do that. 654 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: So now when you get into okay, can you preemptively 655 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: exclude a protected characteristic from your creative services and claim 656 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: that the creative services our website design. It's getting pretty 657 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: deep into the and you know, even I could tell 658 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: the Conservative I think they're going to find six three 659 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: in favor of three h three. I do believe that 660 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: we will see. We'll find out this spring. But you 661 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: can tell they were kind of like, well, if it 662 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: is it really a creative process. There was a lot 663 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: of poking around on that issue. But Clay, I think 664 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: the bigger takeaway from this, and this is why it's interesting, 665 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: that's so far the additional protection from the Respect for 666 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: Marriage Act, the Protection for Religious belief There is a 667 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: the activist wing within the LGBTQ plus agenda will not 668 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: be satisfied until essentially there will be lawsuits against Catholic 669 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 1: churches for not I mean, it's going all the way. 670 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: There's not going to be some day tent. There's not 671 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: going to be okay, fine, they will, there will be activists, 672 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: there will be left wing agenda that continues to say 673 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. But the fact that the Catholic Church, this 674 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 1: is their position now, just to be clear, but their 675 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: position is the fact that Catholic Church won't perform same 676 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: sex winnings is is unconstitutional and is big at it, 677 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: and they will not they will not stop. I think 678 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: that's what everybody should be prepared for. The ultimate plan 679 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: here is to sue Christian churches, particularly Christian religious institutions, 680 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: into submission over time until they bend the knee. And 681 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: it's not just gonna be on same sex weddings, by 682 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: the way, It's gonna it's gonna be on a whole 683 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: range of issues. But this is I think the next 684 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: frontier legally, and this is what you're you're seeing continue 685 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: to play out and here's buck what I would say. 686 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: This is the lawyer in me kind of hypothetically thinking forward. 687 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: What if the website designer had said, I won't and 688 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: I think they discussed this sum I won't make websites 689 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: for interracial marriages. I won't make websites for anyone other 690 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: than Asian people who are getting married. Right. I think 691 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: it becomes really kind of intriguing to analyze this as 692 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: you think about the ways that a creative person might 693 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: restrict who they are willing to work creatively for. And 694 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 1: it's just a mess. You can see why they're trying 695 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: to craft a rule that will apply. This is one 696 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: of the things must that always have They argued, just 697 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: on the interracial marriage point. This is important because this 698 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,919 Speaker 1: came up multiple times in the task that they said. 699 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: The law has recognized up to this point that religious 700 00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: objection to same sex marriage is an area of you know, 701 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 1: an area of religious liberty that effect there are that 702 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: that has been established. It was even established in Oberghfeldt 703 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: bergerfeldt Um. And the issue, obviously, the difference with interracial 704 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: marriage is there's no respect for UH in the law. 705 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: I should say, there's there's no carve out made for well, 706 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: you can be opposed to interracial marriage. So that was 707 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 1: how they argued it today, but they to be sixty 708 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: years ago they would have one hundred percent allowed that 709 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: carve out. So anyway, the way that you think about 710 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying is they're trying to get They're 711 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 1: going to try to get rid of the religious exemption 712 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: carve out too. That's what I'm saying, that's happening. I'm 713 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: going to do. I don't think there's any doubt. And 714 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: what I would say is one of the challenges of 715 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: a Supreme Court is are you writing a case for 716 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: UH law professors or are you writing a case? This 717 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: always comes up buck when you are looking at what 718 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: police can and cannot do. So many times the Supreme 719 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: Court is trying to say, okay, well, officer who was 720 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: on the street, you are able to do X or Y. 721 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: Having an understandable rule that also can be applied is 722 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: one of the biggest challenges that exist for complex cases 723 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: such as these, because how do you know what the 724 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: law actually is and what you're allowed to do and 725 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: not do? And there's not an easy answer here, I think, 726 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: although it's a fascinating case. By the way, Tuttle Twins. 727 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: You want your kids to be able to get hooked 728 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: up with books that are going to teach them all 729 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: sorts of important life lessons, like, for instance, what exactly 730 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: is going on with inflation?

If you've ever been to New York City, 747 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: you probably at some point have ridden in the New 748 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: York City subway just because it is by far, if 749 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: you catch it right, you know where you're going the 750 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: most efficient by cost and time way to get around 751 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: the city. You're gonna find ton of traffic in New York. 752 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: If you ride around in one of those horse drawn carriages, 753 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to take out a mortgage usually to 754 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: pay for it. It's very expensive and goes very slow. 755 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: Handsome came rite. You know there's there's now a lot 756 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: of the bicycles. Is that the uh, the bicycles that 757 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: pull people. There's a lot of that going on to that. Yeah, yeah, 758 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: I've seen, oh yeah, all that's now that they are 759 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: bike lanes and they blast very loud music, a lot 760 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: of a lot of a lot of Rihanna and bon 761 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 1: Jovi from the bicycles with the with the CPI, I forget, 762 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: forget whatever you call that. But the point is that 763 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: the subway is, uh, it's it's the beating heart of 764 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: New York City. Everybody understands that America's largest city without 765 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: the subway doesn't function. Well. We've talked to you a 766 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: lot about how much crime there is on the subway 767 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: in recent years, and this ties directly into the policies 768 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: of Sorrow's back prosecutors. And this is mirrored and other 769 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, the San Francisco bart I think Bay Area 770 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: Trent is very Bay Area rapid transit. I think rapid transit. 771 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: I was, we're trying to find what the r was 772 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,919 Speaker 1: in the bart uh that that has had a huge 773 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: increase in crime and disorder on it. But this is 774 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: this is a new thing here right now. The MTA 775 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: of New York City, to give you a sense of 776 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: how the city's doing, is looking to do a total redesign. 777 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: New York Post with the report on this, a total 778 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: redesign of turnstiles and emergency exit gates for the entire 779 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: subway system, the biggest subway system in the United States. 780 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: They're trying to do it because I was going to 781 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: make Clay guests on the spot, but I told them before, 782 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 1: so that kind of defeats the purpose. But even he 783 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: was as surprise. He was as surprised as I was. 784 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: Five hundred million dollars of fair evasion this year, all right, 785 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: think about that. There is five hundred million dollars that 786 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: should be in the city budget that is now not 787 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 1: in the city budget because people are breaking the law. Now, 788 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: the redesign of the subway system is going to cost 789 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: Heaven only knows how much money is going to go 790 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: into this, because right now it's very easy. People just 791 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: they jump over the turnstyle turnstyle jumping. And this brings 792 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 1: people back to the nineties when this was one of 793 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: the crimes that they cracked down on and we ran 794 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: the experiment. You know what happens when you actually stop 795 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: people and give them a summons or even arrest if 796 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: they jump the turnstile, You actually end up coming into 797 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 1: contact with a lot of people who have outstanding warrants. Yeah, 798 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: you come into contact with a lot of people who 799 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: might be wanted on a serious crime, a rape, a murder, 800 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: an armed robbery, and you cut down on people scamming 801 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: the subway system. Now, look, I understand the first time 802 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: somebody jumps a subway turnstyle, we're not calling in a 803 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: swat team here. But that's not happening, all right. The 804 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 1: opposite of this is happening. Clay. I just think between 805 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,839 Speaker 1: the hundreds of millions of dollars of theft that target 806 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: the target stores have seen last year, this is five 807 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars of theft via fair evasion. The left 808 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 1: and country, and really a big portion of the culture 809 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: in America has just decided that stealing is okay, that 810 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 1: stealing is somehow a redistribution of wealth, that there's a 811 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: social justice. The baseline for this. People doing fair evasions 812 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: or not robin hood. They're not actually taken from the 813 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 1: rich and given to the poor. They're saddling taxpayers with 814 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: the shortfall. The MTA short budgets twenty billion a year, 815 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: the short falls two point five billion year in year out. 816 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: When are we going to enforce the law man? This 817 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: is really what it comes down to. Here's the way 818 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: to think about this. Buck. My understanding, based on our 819 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: producer Ali, is that it costs two dollars and seventy 820 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: five cents to ride the subway. At five hundred million 821 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 1: dollars in lost fairs, that would mean that there are 822 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: around one point four million dollars worth of fair skippings 823 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: going on every day. If that is true, then my 824 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: math would suggest that's around five hundred thousand fair skips 825 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: every single day in New York City. That seems extraordinary, 826 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 1: Like just running the math here, right, because five hundred 827 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 1: million dollars. Somebody can correct me if I'm my math 828 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: is wrong. Five hundred million dollars in losses is one 829 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: roughly one point four million dollars in fair skips per day, 830 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: year round in New York City, given a cost of 831 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: around two seventy five for each of those, that would 832 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: mean there are five hundred thousand people skipping out on 833 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: paying fares almost every single day or routes. Right. It's 834 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: probably the same people who are sometimes doing it multiple 835 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 1: times during the course of their trips. But that's a lot. 836 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: And for people out there who say, well, I don't 837 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: even know, it's a relatively minor offense. First of all, 838 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: taxpayers end up having to cover the five hundred million 839 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: dollars in losses because that isn't money that goes into 840 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,399 Speaker 1: the budget otherwise for the larger public trust. Also, Buck, 841 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,280 Speaker 1: I think the really big part here is the people 842 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: who are skipping out on paying two dollars and seventy 843 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 1: five cents to ride on the subway overwhelmingly are also 844 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: engaging in other criminal behavior. In other words, this is 845 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: not your average grandma who's sixty five years old pulling 846 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: herself up and jumping over the turnstyles This is not 847 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: your average forty five year old at six am going 848 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: in to make his work that is jumping over the turnstiles. 849 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: These are people who are engaged overwhelmingly in criminal behavior. 850 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: Well the people. I think the way to friend that 851 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 1: is the people who are engaged in a lot of 852 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 1: crime are also engaged in turnstyle jumping. But a lot 853 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: of the people engage in turnstyle jump. I mean, this 854 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 1: has become so normalized Clay. You know, you'll see like 855 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: fifteen year old fourteen year old kids, a bunch of 856 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: them right after school. They'll I've seen it. They'll just 857 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 1: hop over the turnstiles. They don't care. But I do 858 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: think that there's there's message in the same way that 859 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,760 Speaker 1: graffiti in a city sends a message of lawlessness, decay 860 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: and just nobody gives a crap, meaning the people in 861 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 1: charge don't care. They're not doing anything about this. When 862 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,359 Speaker 1: you're in a subway and you see people one after 863 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: another jump in the turnstiles, usually having a laugh about it. 864 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: When you see that happening, it's a reminder that there 865 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: is an attitude of lawlessness and lack of consequences for 866 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: doing things that are clearly you know, everyone knows just 867 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: supposed to pay a subway fair. And I just think 868 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: that that has corrosive effects all throughout, all throughout society. 869 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 1: This is why you know everything in CVS stores, you 870 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: know everything in law Greens, underlock and key in New York, 871 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,800 Speaker 1: wherever you go these days, fair jumping all over the place, 872 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: super aggressive panhandling people that'd say give me twenty dollars 873 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 1: and you just ignore them. They start screaming explotives at 874 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: you and you know, threatened to hit you with a hammer. 875 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 1: I mean, this is happening all over the place. People 876 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 1: are tired of it. It isn't amazing that the Democrats 877 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 1: look at the laws that they are super strict about. 878 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: It's oh yeah, you know, you take a selfie near 879 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's congressional desk. Five years in federal prison for you, 880 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: but you know you're on your fiftieth arrest, You've done 881 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: a couple of armed robberies. You're just constantly a menace 882 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 1: to society. You're threatening old people walking down the subway steps. 883 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 1: You know, we don't want to be too harsh that 884 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,760 Speaker 1: they're not only that buck. Think about the officers working 885 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 1: in the subway, given the lack of respect that you 886 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,399 Speaker 1: are getting from the larger American population, to say nothing 887 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: of the Alvin Braggs of the world inside of New 888 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 1: York City. Do you really want to try to chase 889 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 1: somebody who is fair skipping and get into a wrestling 890 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,239 Speaker 1: match with them or try to somehow handcuff them when 891 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 1: if somebody takes a video this is really important too 892 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: violently you're in trouble. What you're talking abo is really important, Clay, 893 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 1: because when you have somebody who right now, the politics 894 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: and I can speak to New York with the most clarity, 895 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: but I'm sure you know name a city. This is 896 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: probably the case in a major every major city in 897 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 1: the country right now. The uh if a cop said hey, stop, 898 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 1: that's illegal, and then decided to give chase to somebody 899 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: who had done a fair evasion and then tried to 900 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: put hands on that person and there were some kind 901 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: of a scuffle, I don't mean anything even goes really awry. 902 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: But you know, when you're met, when you're actually using 903 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 1: force to detain somebody and to handcuff them, who refuses 904 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 1: to respond to you, who refuses to you know, to 905 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 1: accept that police officers authority has just willingly broken the law. 906 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: We all know it. And let's say that that person, 907 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: you know, if they if they get taken the ground, 908 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: they do, you know, scuff their head a little bit, 909 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of blood, something like that happens. 910 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: The city of bureaucracy is going to side with the 911 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 1: the criminal, the lawbreaker every single time. Yep. That's that's 912 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 1: the attitude where the attitude social media is going to say, 913 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: look at this awful, thuggish police officer who tackled this 914 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 1: guy and all he did was jump over the few 915 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 1: to pay his society of laws or not. I spend 916 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,280 Speaker 1: so much time, clay the amount of time I spend, 917 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: and I have an accountant. But just like filling out 918 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: paperwork on taxes and all this stuff all the time, 919 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 1: and it's always all you better do this or else, 920 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,479 Speaker 1: you better do this or else. But all these things 921 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: that are making people's lives miserable and putting people in 922 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 1: danger and having a really negative consequence to society as 923 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,800 Speaker 1: a whole. Look, the Libs the Democrats constantly excuse this stuff. 924 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 1: They constantly excuse criminality is not a big deal, especially 925 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: the quality of life stuff. And eventually you're just like, 926 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 1: why why does anyon want to put up with this anymore? 927 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: It's it's really the same way that they want to 928 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: be massed up. They want to be told what to do. 929 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: I think they like the opportunity to virtue signal by saying, oh, well, 930 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: you know, I don't really care if there's like lot, 931 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: if everything's under lock and key, it might Dwayne read. 932 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: As long as we have criminal justice reform, I'm happy 933 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 1: they're lunatics. I don't know what else to say. This 934 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 1: is why these things aren't getting fixed faster. Being a 935 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,359 Speaker 1: Larry Krasner DA Philadelphia. They're trying to get rid of him. 936 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 1: So people do get tired of this eventually. But that's 937 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,719 Speaker 1: what you Krasner's letting murderers out. I mean, he's a 938 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 1: total maniac. Zoros backed.
