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 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome into the Monday edition of The 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. And man, there's a 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: lot of news to talk about to that. I mean, 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: I know we say that because we got so much 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: to say Clay and Eye every day. But today it's 7 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: just coming in from all over the place. Obviously, the 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: huge controversy around Joe Rogan right now, or the creation 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: of huge controversy finding old comments sang now that he 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: should be de platformed, he should be fired. Plan will 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: dive into this discussion around the First Amendment and why 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: are they going after Rogan. The guy was a Bernie 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: bro folks, he was a Bernie Sanders supporter in the 14 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: last election, but he asked real questions and he comes 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: from a place of seeking truth. And if you seek truth, 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: the left seeks your destruction. That's what we've learned during COVID, 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: We've known that for a long time. Now. You will 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: also have the Canadian trucker convoy still going strong. Although 19 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: big tech not only Spotify in the headlines right now, 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: but big Tech through go fund me, getting a whole 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: lot of attention we'll discuss more cops were killed during 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: Biden's first year in office than any year since nineteen 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: ninety five. Clown, I'll discussed the enormous implications for what 24 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: it means now in this country to be a law 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: enforcement officer after the Democrat Party embraced BLM, an anti 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: cop rhetoric that led not only to a massive increase 27 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: in criminal violence and shootings all across the country, but also, 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: as we see now and unprecedented in decades, spike in 29 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: officers being shot and killed in the line of duty 30 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: turns out pandering and siding with destruction and those who 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: are kicking at the load bearing walls of American civilization. 32 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: Turns out when the Democrats did that, there were consequences 33 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: to it. And we also have New Jersey saying that 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna get into a COVID mask in school off ramp, 35 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: so that means that they're gonna stop masking kids up 36 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: in schools. Do not celebrate this, friends, I'm gonna tell 37 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: you that right now. Do not celebrate it. We should 38 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: see this as just one step in the right direction. 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Because until they admit that they've been wrong, until they 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: will say Clay that guys like Clay and Buck have 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: been right all along. We will never do this again. 42 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: It is child abuse to mask kids up in school. 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: I mean I just got back. You're flying these days. 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm flying these days. It's so stupid on the planes. 45 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: We're not done until it's reputated. But Clay, can we 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: start with the Canadian trucker thing, because either this is 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: fascinating and still going strong up in Ottawa. More convoys 48 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: now forming around the world. People are seeing a momentum here, 49 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: but too fascinating and deeply troubling. Things happen over the weekend. 50 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: One the Canadian government just decided to go in and 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: seize the gas lean. They're trying to refill these trucks 52 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: in place in Ottawa, just to take it to effectively 53 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: try to stop the protest. It's obviously wintertime and Canada 54 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: quite cold there, so we can get into that. But 55 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: also go fund me a platform. This is the thing, folks. 56 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: These platforms become huge, whether it's Twitter or Facebook or 57 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: go fund me or Spotify, promising freedom and transparency and openness, 58 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: and then they become weaponized by the left. Go fund 59 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: me accepts money for the truckers and then was in 60 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: the process of giving that money to left wing you know, 61 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: whether it's BLM or community organizer organizations, until Rhnda Santis, 62 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: Governor Florida others came out and said that's fraud. By 63 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: the way, you can't actually accept money for a cause 64 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: and then divert it to someone else because you feel 65 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: like it. All of this buck is evidence of what 66 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I believe is the great unraveling. We said, and we've 67 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: talked a lot on this show about how covid has 68 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: made red redder and blue bluer. But I think it's 69 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: also open the eyes of a lot of people. And 70 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: I think you can tie this in with the Olympics 71 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: and the way that that's being covered. We effectively need 72 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: to have structures in place of every business that is 73 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: left leaning, there needs to be a right wing competitor, 74 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: and you can say that there's that structure is underway 75 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: right For instance, Rumble is a video competitor of YouTube. 76 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: Now it's a lot smaller, but they just offered one 77 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to Joe Rogan if he ends up 78 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: getting kicked off Spotify. I think that's a really smart move. 79 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: But when I saw this go fund me news come 80 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: down buck On. I guess it was Friday night, because 81 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: they tried to drop it, I think late in the 82 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: evening on Friday, hoping it would kind of get snowed under. 83 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: My jaw dropped and it's hard for me to be 84 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: surprised by things. It wasn't just that they were trying 85 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: to shut down the truckers, it was that they were 86 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: taking the next move buck of taking that. I think 87 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: it was nine million dollars that had been raised for 88 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: truckers and the support of their protest, and they were 89 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: going to redirect that nine million dollars to entities that 90 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: were the exact opposite of who people had been donating 91 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: two and four right now. I immediately said, oh my god, 92 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: this is clearly fraud, and I'm glad that they backed down. 93 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: But the idea that you remember go fund me wouldn't 94 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: allow Kyle Rittenhouse I remember correctly, to raise money that 95 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: they have consistently refused. And that was a big deal 96 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: to me because everybody has the right regardless of whether 97 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: you agree or disagree, especially obviously in the result there 98 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: of him being not guilty, but everybody has the right 99 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: to the best attorney that they can afford. That's embedded 100 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: in our criminal justice system, in our entire fabric of laws. 101 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: So this idea that you can't even give money to 102 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: causes that are seen as being right wing. And by 103 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: the way, how in the world are the truckers right wing? 104 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: They want to get back to normalcy. We got to 105 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: stop allowing this to be painted as a crazy idea 106 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: that at some point we should all around the world 107 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: be able to get back to the to the universe 108 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: that we were living in in January and February and 109 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: early March of twenty twenty before insanity took over in 110 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: this country and around the world. I would bet that 111 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: some of these truckers have voted in the past for 112 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: a Democrat liberal type Canadians guarantee, guarantee. These are these 113 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: are guys who just like you know, in this country, 114 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: there are people that are truckers who have a longstanding 115 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: you know history and maybe even family history going back 116 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: aways with teamsters and unions. And so there's a labor 117 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: component of this. And notice how this this element of 118 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: people that are of the of the laboring classes is 119 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: so undermined by the you know, the tech oligarchs and 120 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: the tech bill an air elite and the Democrat corporate 121 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: media has nothing to say about it, Clay, what everyone's 122 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: watching unfolding real time, and it has to do with 123 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: the cofund situation and the calls. Remember they were calling 124 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: to kick Rogan off of Spotify a week ago. We 125 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: were talking about this before any of the racially charged 126 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: language issue came to the forefront. This has to do 127 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: with a true front of tyranny that we are seeing 128 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: from the Democrat Party. And it's really a mentality that 129 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: COVID has exposed in much of the modern world today, 130 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: where they want it the way that they demanded or 131 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: else they're going to crush you. There's no more fair 132 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: sense of fair play, there's no sense of individual liberty, 133 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: of constitutional restraint. You know, every country has its own 134 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: political realities. But you look at what we would have 135 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: called the Western world or Western civilization until pretty recently, 136 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: you say, what has happened? What has happened in America, 137 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: in Canada, in the UK, in Australia, in Europe, and 138 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, you go down the line, you say, countries 139 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: like us and of course here at home too, have 140 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: abandoned core principles. They have decided that all of a sudden, 141 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: the constitution in this country doesn't count in other countries. 142 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: Whatever they have as protections are the rights have gone away, 143 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: and the media apparatus here is just going along with 144 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: it all. It's deeply troubling. The whole thing is stunning. 145 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: You're exactly right on all that, and Buck, what we 146 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: have reached is an inflection point. Everybody has to pick 147 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: a side. I understand there are people out there who 148 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: look around and I've been one of these people before, right, 149 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: I've talked about my path and my journey to what 150 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: I believe and how COVID accelerated that in many ways. 151 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: But you know, there's a lot of people out there, Buck, 152 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: and we talk to many of these people every single 153 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: day who say, you know, I kind of like the Republicans. 154 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: I kind of like the Democrats. They both drive me insane. 155 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: These are the people who end up deciding who wins 156 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: an election, right, Because there's a certain segment going to 157 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: vote democratic, certain segment that's going to vote Republican. You 158 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: can't be wishywashing anymore. You can't be a libertarian who says, yeah, 159 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: I can't really decide between the Democrats and the Republicans. 160 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: This is pretty straightforward, and this is direct that I 161 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: want everybody listening out there to think about this. You're 162 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: either for freedom and you are four basic democratic ideals 163 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: of the United States government that believe in inequality, but 164 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: also in a foundational premise that the United States is 165 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: a force for good in the world. Or you are 166 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: a Democrat. I mean that seriously, because Democrats have abandoned 167 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: to me any pretense. I think Joe Rogan is learning 168 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: this because Joe Rogan tried to be a straight, down 169 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: the middle of the road guy. He said, hey, I 170 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: might vote for Bernie Sanders, and they put out the 171 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: long knives and they came for him. And nobody on 172 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: the left in this country has stood up for Joe 173 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: Rogan at all. Now, to their credit, lots of people 174 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: on the right side, if you want to call that 175 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: of the political equation, have said, hey, maybe not be 176 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: a Joe Rogan fan, but I don't believe in cancel culture. 177 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: Same thing we said about Whoope Goldberg. You either believe 178 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: that you can basically be attacked by mobs online and 179 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: have every fabric of your ability to earn a living 180 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: stripped from you, or you are a Republican. Yeah, I 181 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: mean I mean, that is the truth. This is the choices, 182 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: This is the yeah, you're you're right, this is the 183 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: binary that we're in. And you can also break it 184 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: down into you have principles, or you have situational principles 185 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: you know you have, or your situational ethics are a joke. 186 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: And and this is what we're seeing all over the place, 187 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: including by the way, with the COVID restrictions, which um, 188 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean I saw as soon as I see the 189 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: Stacey Abraham's photo on Mas, I'm like, I fired off. 190 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, I wonder what Clay had to say about 191 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: this over the weekend too, because you see this, and 192 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: so we'll come back, we'll talk to you about this, 193 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: because not only not only is Stacy Abrams taking a 194 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: photo unmasked in a room full of mass children where 195 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: she is and I did some you know, back of 196 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: the Napkin math on this at least a hundred times 197 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: and maybe more like a thousand, maybe more like a 198 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: thousand times greater risk of hospitalization or death based on 199 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: the realities of who COVID is a higher risk to 200 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: than any of those children. The explanations Clay afterwards for 201 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: this too are are absolutely amazing. So we got it 202 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: should decide that the Georgia governor's election like that should 203 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: be all you put up if you are running against her? 204 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: Is that picture over and over and over again with 205 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: her explanation and it shouldn't even be close. Well, well, 206 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: we'll get into some of that coming up here in 207 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: a second. And then also where are we with the 208 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: off ramps and what's going to happen with Joe Rogan. 209 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: We got so many stories and I don't want to 210 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: dive into the law enforcement data too about what's what's 211 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: happened because of Democrats embrace. Remember it's when we say 212 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: they embraced BLMY embraced an anti cop narrative. Don't never 213 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: forget that BLM is based upon a lie, which is 214 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 1: that cops are racist and murder unarmed black men regularly, 215 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: systematically without consequence, and that is representative of law enforcement lies. 216 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: We'll address that later on the show too. We don't 217 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: often change our cell phone carrier. It's got to take 218 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: a very convincing offer to make such a change.

Welcome back in 239 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: play Travis buck Sexton Show. We are rolling through the program. 240 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: Buck is in New York City. I am in LA Now. 241 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: I didn't get in Buck last night till like eleven 242 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: pm Pacific. So I haven't spent much time, you know, 243 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: seeing kind of getting a vibe in the People's Republic 244 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: of California. I was out here in October and it 245 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: didn't feel that different. I'm curious if it is here now. 246 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: What did it feel like for you though? Because you 247 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: were in the Free State of Florida. You were in 248 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: Miami for a week doing the show. A lot of 249 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: our South Florida compadres down there and enjoy obviously when 250 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: we give shouts out to the Free State of Florida. 251 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: I love it. We're gonna be down there. Special show, 252 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: special show coming up. I'll just put a little bit 253 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: of a t special show in later in February that 254 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing from Florida. But Buck, what did 255 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: it feel like to get on a plane in Miami 256 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: and fly to New York knowing that you were leaving 257 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: behind basically one hundred percent freedom in exchange for the 258 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: gulag state of New York New York City. It's a 259 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: little bit like if I were part of, say, a 260 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: cultural commission from East Germany circa like nineteen fifty five 261 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: or something. Yes, who managed to go hang out in 262 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: London for a week or somewhere else in the Western world, 263 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: and now I've been sent back across the wall into 264 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: East Berlin. Everyone's masked up, everywhere, masked up outside. Of course, 265 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: it's called dreary and miserable here too, and I think 266 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a state of shock here. 267 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: I really mean this from the people who I mean 268 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: claim remember the mon true, we did everything right, we 269 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: did everything right. Why didn't No, clearly there was no 270 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: doing everything right. Doing everything right would have been lived 271 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: your lives and stop being crazy. But people still haven't 272 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: really come to grips with it here, and not only 273 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: that this is wild. So we'll see how the week goes. 274 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm out here because the super Bowl is going on 275 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: in LA and we talked about last week all of 276 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,359 Speaker 1: the absurdity. You had, Gavin Newsom, you had Eric Garcetti, 277 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: the idiot mayor of LA who claimed that in his 278 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: photo with Magic Johnson he held his breath. So I 279 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: tweeted yesterday Buck that I've been working on holding my 280 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: breath so that anytime somebody complains that I'm not wearing 281 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: a mask, I can just say, well, you know, the 282 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: mayor of Los Angeles made it clear to everyone that 283 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: all you have to do is hold your breath and 284 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: there's no risks whatsoever. But Buck, I think Stacy Abraham's 285 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: officially lost to the Georgia race for governor again in 286 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: the absurd photo that she put out it. And really, 287 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: I feel like we can break this down on so 288 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: many levels. But Buck, when I saw it, not only 289 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: did the photo get taken, but they are so tone 290 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: deaf to what parents are thinking that they had Stacy Abrams, 291 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: who is sitting on the ground surrounded by a classroom 292 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: of children. All of the children are masked and as 293 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: we said, going to break If you look at the 294 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: data sets, obese adults and Stacy Abrams is an obese adult, 295 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: are overwhelmingly way more in danger from COVID than any 296 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: children are. And I think this is the kind of 297 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: photo now they put it out that to me is 298 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: a sign of how tone deaf they are. They allowed 299 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: that photo to be taken and then they tweeted it 300 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: out as if they were not aware of what the 301 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: response of the overwhelming number of public figures and also 302 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: just people who are parents was going to be. Buck, 303 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: I think her campaign is dead to rights, right, now 304 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: just based on this. In fact, I think she's in 305 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: such tough spot, based on this photo and how viral 306 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: it went Buck that she's going to have to call 307 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: for mask to be removed from kids all over the 308 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: state of Georgia in order to try to cleanse the 309 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: stupidity of the photo that she put out. I wonder, 310 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: because at some level, I do think Clay, this is 311 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: the belief among Democrats, is that important people don't have 312 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: to wear masks. I mean, they really do think that 313 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: this is the way it's supposed to go. Then I 314 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: will say, even when I was down in Miami, people 315 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: who work in the service industry all masked up. Everywhere 316 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: there's this oh the sers, the servants have to mask up, 317 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: but you know, everyone else gets to walk around in freedom. 318 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a decision. Maybe you could say the 319 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: businesses are making. Sometimes it's the city making. It depends. 320 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: But I wonder, Clay, they have no principles to protect, 321 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: so is it actually worthwhile to point out the violation 322 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: of their principles. This is kind of where we are 323 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: with Democrats. I don't know, I don't know. I think 324 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense for those independent voters 325 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: I hope so. But we'll see. World events have a 326 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: profound effect in our economy. You see it every day. 327 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: In today's time. The value of your stock market portfolio 328 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: can go down precipitously. You have no control over that 329 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: and no way to protect the value of your accounts. 330 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: But that's not the case with your savings. There's a 331 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: way to protect your savings account and your IRA. Buying 332 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: and owning real gold is a form of protection. The 333 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: Oxford Gold Group is who I get my gold from. 334 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: They make it an easy and efficient transaction.

Welcome 343 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: back into the Clay Travis end Buck Sexton Show. The 344 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: first year the Biden administration was a disaster. We saw that. 345 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: We all saw it. We're all aware the polls reflected 346 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean they can't even make a strong case otherwise. 347 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: They've on the economy, try to convince everyone that, well, 348 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: when you end a shutdown, that's like a job created. 349 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: So when you say restaurants, you're all shut down and 350 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: they have to fire a whole lot of people. And 351 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: then the state comes in or the federal government or 352 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: whomever comes in and says, Okay, now you can open up. 353 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: Look at us, We're amazing job creators. Now. It's like 354 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: if I show up and burn down someone's house and 355 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: then a month later, I show up with supply wood 356 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: and say I'm gonna build you a new one. I 357 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: don't think that makes me a great builder. But that's 358 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: what the Biden administration is effectively arguing right now about Josh. 359 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: But there's there's so many places, and you know, one 360 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: of the things I want you to be prepared for 361 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: on the on the COVID fight, they want the story 362 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: to be, thank you so much everyone, you did everything 363 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: we want wanted you to do, and finally we're gonna 364 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: let your kids breathe normally in New York, New Jersey, California. 365 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: For other places, they're gonna they've already been living with 366 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: freedom around that issue. But I understand this. They're not 367 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: getting rid of Clay's just been on a flight this weekend. 368 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: I was on a flight this weekend until they demask 369 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: on planes. It's not gone, it's not over. It's just 370 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, in a moment of recession. The 371 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: madness is in a moment of recession, but it has 372 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: not gone all together. We have to push until it's 373 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: gone all together. There's also the issue of crime in 374 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: the country and what has been happening here, and you 375 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: can feel you can feel it walk in the streets 376 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: of New York City. You can certainly feel it in 377 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: Houston for all of our people down there in Houston, Texas, 378 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: where you've had more murders. And this was a stunting 379 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: statistic in the month of January, more murders in Houston 380 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: than in Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles, all cities 381 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: with a bigger population, and certainly Chicago known to be 382 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: a place with far too many murders when you look 383 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: at it on a per capita analysis, but Clay, this 384 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: was this was stunning. Over the weekend, Biden's first year 385 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: in office saw seventy three police officers killed. The most 386 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: deaths since nineteen ninety five, the last time. This was 387 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: analysis in the New York Post and hat tip to 388 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: Mark Moore for pulling it together. You had the most 389 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: cops killed since nineteen ninety five. The last time this 390 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: many had been killed, it was actually in the you know, 391 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: in a one year period, it was nineteen eighty seven. 392 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: We're having to go back decades here to see a 393 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: time when there were this many shootings. It feels like 394 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: the gains of the criminal justice system and of safety 395 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: the American people have been handed away in the blink 396 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: of an eye. And we all know what happened here. 397 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: We all know what caused this. It was a combination. 398 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: But the real, the real beginnings of it BLM, which 399 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: created a moral the Democrats used to defeat Donald Trump, 400 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: but also a moral panic that corporate America went along with. 401 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, BLM. We all need to have a 402 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: national conversation. BLM is rooted and I've been to many 403 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: BLM protests covering them as a person in the media. 404 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: BLM is rooted in the fundamental lie that young black 405 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: men are killed by police without consequence due to racism 406 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: frequently in America, and that is representative of law enforcement. 407 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: Essentially cops are racist murderers. They chant that at some 408 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: of these routes, they'll actually say, you know what, do 409 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: we want no more racist cops? When do we want 410 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: it now? I mean, this is the stuff that they say, Clay. 411 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: And then you add that to bail reform, ie let 412 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: people out, including dangerous people. You add it to less 413 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: prosecution of dangerous individuals, to a more permissive environment in 414 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: the prosecutor's office for criminals all across the country. A 415 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: lot of people have been hurt, and we've lost a 416 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: lot of law enforcement officers because they were undermined in 417 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: their jobs by reckless, feckless Democrats who saw political advantage 418 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: in it. The George Floyd's video was treated as if 419 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: it was representative of interactions between police and black men 420 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: all over the country. It was not. And again to 421 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: your point, the Washington Post database tracks every shooting that 422 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: has happened by police, and the data reflects that seventy 423 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: five percent of people shot and killed by police are white, 424 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: Asian or Hispanic, almost all men. By the way, nobody 425 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: ever says that the police are sexist, even though almost 426 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: all violent perpetrators who were shot and killed by police 427 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: or killed are being done so because of the violent 428 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: nature of their actions. But the George Floyd video directly 429 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: led in the protests, directly led to thousands of innocent 430 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: people being killed all over America, both police and civilians, 431 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: inside of many of our cities. And that was because 432 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: of the fundamental lie that the George Floyd incident represented 433 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: what was a reality for many people, even though the 434 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: reason why it was a new story is because it 435 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: was an outlier. And by the way, Buck, there's still 436 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: been no indication directly that Chauvin or any of the 437 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: other officers were motivated by racial animus in their actions. 438 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: In other words, if George Floyd had been Hispanic, or 439 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: if he had been white, there hasn't been any suggestion 440 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: that the treatment would have been any different at all. 441 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: And so many people, and this is the great struggle 442 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: that we see across all of social media life now, Buck, 443 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: So many people are terrified of being called racist if 444 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: they don't stand up and say, hey, you know what, 445 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: I think that the officers deserved be put on trial, 446 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: but I don't think that all police officers are evil. 447 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: So many companies, every company that you've ever spent money with, 448 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: sent you out an email about BLM. Everybody got in 449 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: line behind the idea of BLM, even all of the lockdowners, 450 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: the doctor Fauci's of the world totally threw away the 451 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: idea of lockdowns and said, hey, you know what, these 452 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: protests are legitimate. I know we've been telling you to 453 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: stay at home and not gather in crowds, but this 454 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: is such an important incident that we're going to throw 455 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: away every aspect of lockdown based decision making in favor 456 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: of this. And the result has been that we spun, 457 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: basically since nineteen ninety four, the idea that people who 458 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: commit crimes of violence need to be imprisoned. We totally 459 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: turn them into the victims, and we turn police into 460 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: the perpetrators, and the natural result is crimus skyrocketed, murders 461 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: have sword and many innocent people are dead because as 462 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: we failed in our societal response as a nation. There 463 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: are murals in fact all over the world where George 464 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: Floyd is represented as effectively a civil rights hero, a martyr, 465 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: an icon for justice. That's how they depict him. George Floyd, 466 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: just for starters, was guilty of and serve time for 467 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: a home invasion during which he pointed a loaded firearm 468 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: at the belly of a pregnant woman. But there are 469 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: murals depicting him as a martyr and as a as 470 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: a hero. And so you have to sit around and 471 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: ask yourself, what are law enforcement officers really to think 472 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: of a situation where they're so undermined in their work 473 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: and the people who rely on the protection in the 474 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: even the very wealthy enclaves and Democrats control, relying the 475 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: protection law enforcement provides them, just feel like if it 476 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: doesn't affect me, if it affects people that I pretend 477 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: to care about when I'm going on TV and making 478 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: my millions of dollars, or you're doing my podcast and 479 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: getting paid all this money by sponsors. Whatever these libs 480 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: are doing, they don't carefully. They don't care. What's happening 481 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: in minority majority neighborhoods where shootings are through the roof 482 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to them. It also points to a larger fallacy, 483 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: which you just mentioned is George Floyd's criminal history. Many people, 484 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: if you even suggest that, say you can't even bring 485 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: that up because of what happened to him. His history 486 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Yet, look at what cancel culture is rooted 487 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: in the same people who are saying you can't talk 488 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: about George Floyd's criminal history as a part of the 489 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: larger context of understanding what his behavior may or may 490 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: not have been influenced by, are simultaneously saying Joe Rogan 491 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: can't have his podcast on Spotify because of something he 492 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: did years ago. So you're willing to cancel a guy 493 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: or what he might have said on his podcast years ago, 494 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: but you aren't willing to even allow a discussion of 495 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: the past criminal history of George Floyd. Think about that. 496 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: We're not saying, imagine if Joe Rogan had previously been 497 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: arrested multiple times for violent acts. That to me is 498 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: the distinction here. You're saying actions don't matter as they 499 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: pertain to George Floyd for his past history, but you're 500 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: saying words for Joe Rogan do matter. It's a flawed 501 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: flaw of logic on a seismic level. The Democrats narrative 502 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: of criminal justice over the last eighteen months and coinciding 503 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: really largely with the pandemic and started in June of 504 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. The George Floyd incident set so much of 505 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: this in motion. George Floyd's killing, and remember that officers 506 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: now decades in prison for that. But the narrative is 507 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: still cops do this all the time. It's not, I 508 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: mean clearly not, by the way. By the numbers, it's 509 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: actually quite rare for law enforcement to shoot an unarmed 510 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: black man in America today if you look, if you 511 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: care about data at numbers, which the Democrats, whether it's 512 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: on masks or police involved shootings or whatever, the numbers 513 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: they don't actually look at. They make it up as 514 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 1: they as they go along. But we decided somehow as 515 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: a society, or I should say the Democrats decided as 516 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: a society, cops are the root of violence and cities, 517 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,719 Speaker 1: which is crazy. Letting violent felons out more frequently with 518 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: less punishment is going to result in safer streets, which 519 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: is crazy. You go down the list of everything that 520 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: they did, as well as the riots that went on 521 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: for months, creating a sense of lawlessness in these cities, 522 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: and it's honestly, it's a shame. And the American people 523 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: who didn't see this for what it was in the 524 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election should feel some shame at least with 525 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: regard to their judgment that they didn't see what a 526 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: big pandering atrocity the Democrats were engaged in that year. 527 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: It was just all about defeating Trump and all about 528 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: getting the vote out, and a lot of racism virtue signaling, 529 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: no doubt. We'll talk a little bit more about that 530 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: when we come back also top of hour two. So 531 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: much more to get into some of the ridiculousness surrounding 532 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: the way the Olympics are being covered and the coverage 533 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: of China that is occurring as well. In the meantime, 534 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, two thousand and one, we lost nearly 535 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: three thousand people as a result of terror attacks on 536 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: American soil. Changed everyone's life forever. Two thousand, nine hundred 537 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: seventy seven people were killed. Tune of the Towers Foundation's 538 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: been supporting America's heroes and their families ever since. When 539 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: a first responder a military service member doesn't come home 540 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: and young children are left behind, Tunnel the Towers pays 541 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: off their mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring 542 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: their family stability.

Dub is reviewing all of those. 559 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: I understand that many of you are sending in those 560 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: five star reviews, and hopefully you are going to continue 561 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: to make him laugh. We're gonna take a couple of 562 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: your calls here in a moment and get you queued 563 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: up for the open of hour two about the winter 564 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: Olympics going on and what's happening in terms of viewership there. 565 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: But right off the top here I wanted to mention 566 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: buck as we were discussing going to break the police 567 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: situation and the fact that we now have a new 568 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: high unfortunately in police murders going all the way back 569 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: to nineteen ninety five. The odds of a police officer, 570 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: and this comes from Heather McDonald. Do you remember this 571 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: data and it should have been widely discussed in a 572 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: larger context. The odds of a police officer being killed 573 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: versus the odds of a police officer killing someone are 574 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: off the charts. The myth of systemic police racism that 575 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: exists out there is a total lie. Police officers are 576 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: about eighteen thousand buck times as likely to be killed 577 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: by a black man as they are to kill a 578 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: black man. You don't hear that discussion hardly at all. 579 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: But Heather McDonald put together all that data. Have we 580 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: had Heather on the show at all? Yes, because yeah, 581 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: Heather has done such a fabulous job. She will she 582 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: will put the data out there that people are scared 583 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: in terms of numbers, what the implications are, especially on 584 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: the law enforcement side, to share because it doesn't support 585 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: the Democrat narrative. By the way, I mentioned this too, 586 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: the number of according to the Washington Post database, the 587 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: number of unarmed black men who were shot by police 588 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: by unarmed does not also mean not a threat, not 589 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: possible to have actually been shot lawfully. That's important to 590 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: stay sometimes, but not always, depends on the situation that 591 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: any person is in when there is a law enforcement 592 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: involved shooting. Thirteen unarmed blackmen were shot in twenty nineteen 593 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: by police. Thirteen was the number, and it was in 594 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty treated like a national crisis of racism, and 595 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: police were to blame for it. And now we're seeing 596 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: the results of all of that. We have Chris Clay 597 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, California. I wanted to get to him. 598 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: He's an LA City cop who's talking about how they're 599 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: trying to clean up the town while you're there, Chris, 600 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: what do you got for us? Real second, real quick? Yeah, 601 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: So it's blatantly obvious being a cop out here. I 602 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: how what what? I don't know what. I don't know 603 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: what they're doing with a lot of these homeless people, 604 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: putting them on buses, shipping them out. But something's going 605 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: on and to clean up on the three ways. It's 606 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: it's sad that it took. It takes an NFL basically 607 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: a game that men are playing. Uh and the city 608 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: has been suffering for years. And that's all I got. 609 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: But Clare, Chris, I'm just curious what kind of treatment 610 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: would how would you assess your treatment from civilians out there, 611 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: from citizens in this modern era compared to ten or 612 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: twenty years ago. I don't know how long you've been 613 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: a cop, but I'm sure you guys twenty twenty two years. 614 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: I've been a coup twenty two years. Thank you for that. 615 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: How would you assess the way get treated now compared 616 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: to when you started? Good? Don't believe the fake news. 617 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: They treat us good. The news wants to create a 618 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: narrative that the public has. They love us, They still 619 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: say thank you for your service, they still buy us coffee, 620 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: they'll pick up a tab on a meal. So listen, 621 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: the media's evil and that's it. And it's the media 622 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: that pushes that narrative. That's the public hatsus. Okay, Chris 623 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: is right on this. By Chris. Oh sorry, go ahead, Chris, 624 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: Hi out in La come say hi to the real 625 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: police officers. Will I look forward.

I just got 641 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: to say that the fact that go fund Me thought 642 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: it would fly that they were going to just take 643 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: money and give it. I mean, Clay, how different is 644 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: if I were trying to, you know, donate to a 645 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: political party, you know, or to a pack and my 646 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: bank said Oh, we know what you really meant.
