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 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of play in Bucks starts now. Everybody, 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: thank you for a rolling with us. Coming up, we'll 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: be talking to you about the DC crime situation and 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: what it tells you about Democrats' ability to make places safer, 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: to make the streets safer. Also later on the banning 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: of TikTok via legislation, the what is it Safety or 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: Security Act or whatever it's called. I'll remember in a second, 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: seems to give a lot more power to the federal 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: government than a lot of people would have anticipate. Although 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: I've been, as you all know, I've been suspicious of 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: this band TikTok stand up to the Communist Chinese Party 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: by banning TikTok. I'm like, okay, but is that really 14 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: what we're doing? Is that really all we're doing? And 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: I am always suspicious of these moves where all of 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: a sudden, especially certain certain congressman on the right, and 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: all the Democrats seem to agree on this. That actually 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: makes me suspicious. We'll get into perhaps why that is 19 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: in a little bit. But you know, we're having a 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: talk this week because we all know why about how 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: to bring violence down and how to deal with the 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: fact that places are feeling more and more like they 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: did back in the nineties when the crime rate was 24 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: much higher, and the data reflects that if they're not 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: already there, they are certainly now for years, for three 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: or four solid years heading in that direction. That's really concerning. 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: Now you have Biden and other Democrats suggesting if only 28 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: we would add one more gun law. The gun laws 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: in states across the country and federal gun laws. You 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: have to be an expert, and I actually mean this, 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: You have to be an expert to understand the gun 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: laws in New York City, for example, it is very 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: easy to run a foul of them accidentally, so much 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: so that the New York City authorities could not even 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: explained to a judge what the extent of different laws 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: around handguns were, whether you could take it out of 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: the city if you had a premise permit, or they 38 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: have no idea. They're just they make it as difficult 39 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: as possible because making the law abiding jump through endless 40 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: hoops and go through all kinds of nonsense makes the 41 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: anti gun left feel better. As we know, does it work, 42 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: does it bring violence down. No, but it makes Biden 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: voters feel better. Okay, Well, if we're really gonna look 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: at violence, and we're gonna look at gun violence specifically, 45 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: and you look at major cities across the country and 46 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: what they're doing, you will notice a trend. And the 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: trend is that there are a lot of people who 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: are not being prosecuted for these crimes. And not only 49 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: on gun violence, but all the way down. You're seeing 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: the decline in case prosecution is a major issue. I 51 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: bring you Washington, DC, and Clay had flagged this for 52 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: me and I'd seen some of the stats on this. 53 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: Just by way of reminder, Philadelphia, I remember I brought 54 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: this up. I think I might have actually talked to 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: Tucker about this on his show maybe about a year ago. 56 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: In Philadelphia, there's if you're a felon in possession, there's 57 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: basically a fifty fifty chance that you walk found a 58 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: possession with a firearms. Yeah, if you want to stop 59 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: people from getting shot, I think somebody who has a 60 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: gun illegally that is already a convicted felon. So that 61 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: is a criminal who is choosing to violate the law 62 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: once again to have a loaded weapon on them, you 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: probably want to really prosecute that person. Half of them, 64 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: half of them no charges in DC right now, Washington, 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: see our nation's capital. As Clay and I discussed a 66 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, probably the greatest concentration of law 67 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: enforcement resources in the country, all right, I mean it's 68 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: something like a police state. They now have, Clay federal 69 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: prosecutors in the district Attorney's office. In district's US Attorney's office, 70 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: I should say, chose not to prosecute sixty seven percent 71 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: of those arrested by police officers in cases that would 72 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: have been tried in DC superior court. This is getting 73 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: people really fired up because they can complain about resources, 74 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: which they do, and they can complain that they don't 75 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: have the laboratories to the testing, which they do. How 76 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: are we supposed to think that we're going to keep 77 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the streets safe when you have a two out of 78 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: three shot of walking, if you commit a burglary, serious drug, 79 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,119 Speaker 1: there's a whole risk array of offenses. These are generally 80 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: non violent offenses, but non violent offenses need to be 81 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: prosecuted too. Yeah. Look, here is the breakdown of that 82 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: sixty seven percent buck fifty two percent, of felony arrests 83 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: are not prosecuted. So if you get arrested for a 84 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: felony in Washington, DC, you are more likely than not 85 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: not going to be prosecuted at all. And these rates 86 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: have collapsed. They were only choose to decline in two 87 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen thirty one percent of all crimes, so 88 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: they have more than doubled, you know, in other words, 89 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: two out of three times you were still going to 90 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: get charged under Obama in sixteen, and they have now 91 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: continued to collapse. And also you need to think about 92 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: a couple of things that are also significant about two 93 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: out of three of the cases not being prosecuted. How 94 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 1: many police are making conscious decisions that it's not worth 95 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: their time to even arrest right because you're out there 96 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: and the person that you arrested, you know, is going 97 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: to be right back out on the street. Like I 98 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: believe Buck, the guy who just stabbed Rand Paul's senate 99 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: staffer is already back out on the street. I believe 100 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: our producers he was out. He was out one day 101 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: after serving his sentence, and within one day he stabbed 102 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: Rand paul staffer, almost killed him in broad daylight for 103 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: no reason. Right back out on the street. And the 104 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: other thing to think about here is they are simultaneously 105 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: while they are saying we're not going to prosecute basically 106 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: two out of every three people who get arrested for 107 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: crimes in DC, but they are aggressively still prosecuting anyone 108 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: connected to January sixth. So the only thing that they 109 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: seem interested in prosecuting to the full ext extent of 110 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: the law in Washington, DC is January sixth. Everything else, 111 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: even violent criminals, even fell in charges are being dropped 112 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: to people are being put right out on the street. 113 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: So we understand that there are a lot of there's 114 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: a lot of politics involved here in the decision making 115 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: about what the criminal justice system in DC is doing. 116 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Remember that Biden with an eye to twenty twenty four, 117 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: did not veto, did not veto a congressional override of 118 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: a DC City Council um crime bill that was going 119 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: to lower lower the punishments for things like non minor 120 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: things carjacking. If you carjack somebody, you deserve to have 121 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: a serious prison sentence handed down. I'm talking years and years. Okay. 122 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Carjacking is a it's a violent crime. It is a 123 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: terrifying crime. It sometimes leads straight to homicide in the act, 124 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean they were going to lower the prison sentence 125 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: on that. The problem DC has as this Clay, DC 126 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: is ninety seven let's talk stats, let's talk numbers. DC 127 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: is ninety seven, ninety eight percent Democrat. You've lived in DC. 128 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: I've lived in DC. Yeah, we both know. It's also 129 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: a city that is very racially segregated. There are whole 130 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: areas of the city that are are that are predominantly white, 131 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: and whole areas of the city that are predominantly non white. 132 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: Democrats don't don't ever actually deal with the realities of 133 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system in Washington, DC and the reality 134 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: of this this segregation that's effectively it's de facto right 135 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: at our nation's capital. South Past DC is overwhelmingly black. 136 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: For people who don't know, Northwest DC is overwhelmingly white. 137 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy. Yes, And this is just the 138 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: the situation. And they have all of the you know, 139 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: all of the the predominantly the crime and the poverty 140 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: and everything is in the uh in the non white 141 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: areas of of DC, and Democrats are in charge, and 142 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: it's the seat of the federal government. And you have 143 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: a city that is it doesn't get it's you know, 144 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: it's been getting more violent in recent years, and their 145 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: programs to try to make this better do not work. 146 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: You know, you have a de facto situation of you know, 147 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: of a structure in DC that doesn't ever get addressed. 148 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: They don't ever look at the fact that, you know, 149 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: and it's entirely democrat. So you have an entirely democrat 150 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: city that is very you know, you could separated by population. 151 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: And you say to yourself, well, hold on a second, 152 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: what is being done here to improve things? What is 153 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: being done here? This is a This is just like 154 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: San Francisco. The Democrats are in charge and they have nothing. 155 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: They have nothing. They never come up with any way 156 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: to improve the circumstances of this, at least not in 157 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: recent years, to improve the circumstances of the city on crime, 158 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: on public schools, a whole range of issues, and buck 159 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: they started. What's so disappointing here is they started to 160 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: get things turned around. Because you'll remember, back in the day, 161 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: Mary and Barry was the mayor of Washington, DC, and 162 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: before they caught him on the you know, smoken crack. 163 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: I think it was on video or whatever. You remember 164 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: that back in that scandal, back in the day, he 165 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: had an unbelievable quote where he said DC doesn't really 166 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: have a crime problem except for the murders, which was 167 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: and it's been attributed. I think other people have said 168 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: similar things, fortunately politicians. But when I went away to 169 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: college there, it got markedly safer. People moved back, they 170 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: wanted to be there. And now this soft on crime 171 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: era is making it much more dangerous to be in 172 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: DC than it was in the early two thousands when 173 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: so this seemed to be on the on the comeback trail. 174 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: This is uh, you know, NPR. This is the headline 175 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: an NPR article from about a year ago. The DC 176 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: area is the country's fifteenth most segregated metropolitan area. So this, 177 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: I mean, there is some awareness that Washington, DC is 178 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: this city where people are living in very different communities 179 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: in terms of the crime, the schools, and everything else, 180 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: and it is entirely in the hands of Democrats. So 181 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: I just think, you know, it's a it's a bit 182 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: like San Francisco in that sense. Right there there are 183 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: and and there are all these you know, all these 184 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: white Biden voters, and you know, and and and residents 185 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: who are wealthier across the board. Why, I think don't 186 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: want to deal with the fact that DC has among 187 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: the worst performing public school system in the nation. Buck 188 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: you've spent time in Georgetown when I went away to college, 189 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: I would recognize that GW we had to walk into Georgetown. 190 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: The overwhelmingly white, liberal, wealthy Georgetown residents did not want 191 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: a subway stop because they didn't want poor black kids 192 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: to be easily able to get to Georgetown. Nobody can 193 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: hardly talk about it. You go visit DC and you'll 194 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: notice that Georgetown is not on the subway map. Why 195 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: the metro map? Why can you not get to DC 196 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: on the metro map. The rich people of Georgetown did 197 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: not want public transportation to be able to come to 198 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: their doorsteps. And you know, we're talking again about about 199 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: the crime levels in DC and how it's become a 200 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: a major It's become a natural story because I think 201 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: homicide year every year as of a month ago for 202 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: something like and they're declining at least the the you know, 203 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: the US attorney in DC that can take cases that 204 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes things cross over that can be state 205 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: and or federal. Obviously in DC, it's not a state, 206 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: so it gets a little bit it's a little bit 207 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: of a different, different process of specific process to Washington, 208 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: d C. M But one of the issues that again 209 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: in a Democrat rule city, that they do that they 210 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: they have a political problem, a political issue. When you 211 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: look at the incarcerated population of Washington, d C. It 212 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: is ninety percent black, yepine, and so they're they're declining 213 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: a lot of prosecutions because there's a concern that the 214 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: left has that the Democrats have um specifically the ones 215 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: who are in charge in the city. That this is 216 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: at at a time is it's you know, they're starting 217 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: to be a little bit of a change in the 218 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: national conversation. But at a time of defund police and 219 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: all these conversations, how could Washington, d C. Still have 220 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: such a disparate prison population in a Democrat city if 221 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: the system is so racist? Why is DC having such 222 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: a racist outcome in in its prison population and in 223 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: its criminal justice. It's a mess. Sonny Houston's not going 224 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: to be happy. It's not going to be happy. China 225 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: can do whatever they want totalitarian government, because we're not 226 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: perfect in America.

And Buck, I was 251 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: looking at this data that just came down from Quinnipiac 252 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: about who people are. Oh sorry, this is not Quinnipiac. 253 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: This is Gallop this morning, and it's Joe Biden approval rating. 254 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Overall job approval rating for Joe Biden forty percent. But 255 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: I thought this was really interesting. Joe Biden's job approval 256 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: for independent voters thirty five percent. Now I don't know 257 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: how exactly that translates as we move closer to twenty 258 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: twenty four. Joe Biden, by the way, in the Gallop 259 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: poll has a three percent approval rating among Republican voters, 260 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: so I'd love to know who the three percent are. 261 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: Still has an eighty seven percent approval rating among Democrats, 262 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: which just goes to show that Democrats don't care at 263 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: all about what the truth is. But what do you 264 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: think He's worst on the economy thirty two percent approval 265 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: rating overall of Americans. I just the economy polls when 266 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: it comes to Democrats and Biden specifically in matter in 267 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, I find it. You know, I think 268 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: that people love to just talk about Everyone likes to 269 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: complain about the economy, and a lot of people complain 270 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: about the economy even when it's objectively quite good. But 271 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, we all have our frustrations. I just think 272 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: that we shouldn't start to think that we're going to 273 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: get too comfy unless you are in a really grinding 274 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: recession with double digit unemployment and very obvious bad things 275 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: going on for millions and millions of people in the economy. 276 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's going to cost you Biden 277 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: that much in the and that's just maybe I'm just 278 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: pushing too hard in the other direction after twenty twenty two. 279 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: But clay inflation was the worst. It wasn't forty years. 280 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: I know he wasn't on the ticket, But you know, 281 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: Democrats generally get blamed the party in power gets blamed 282 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: at the economy's week. We saw what happened, So I think, 283 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm also suspicious of polling in general. 284 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: Now I know that sounds to be conspiratorial, but how 285 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: many times is Poland gonna be way off in both directions. Yeah, 286 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: I understand that idea. I do think when you're saying 287 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: that he's got a thirty two percent approval rating on 288 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: the economy, it's hard to believe that's going to move 289 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: very much between now in twenty twenty four, which to 290 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: me suggests the number one issue by far is going 291 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: to be the economy. Now. I don't know. I hope 292 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: I think it is. But I was talking last night. 293 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: I was in DC and I was talking to people 294 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of discussion in DC that they 295 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: think the next step on the economy, and we've predicted 296 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: this on the show, is that the Biden administration is 297 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: going to come out and say two percent inflation was 298 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: really just kind of a made up target in the 299 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: first place. Three or four percent inflation is not that 300 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: bad in the groud. Yeah, they're just going to change 301 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: the metrics, which is what they always do. Yeah. Other 302 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: if you look at how inflation is gauged right now, 303 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: people will say that even that is waited to make 304 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: it look less bad than it actually is.

And here is 337 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: I meant to play this before, but we got we 338 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: got deep into the conversation Representative James Coomer talking about 339 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: what is going on in DC Play sixteen. We have 340 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: a tall task today examining DC's failures. The crime statistics 341 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: alone are shocking. According to the DC Metropolitan Police Department, 342 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: carjackings in the district have increased one hundred and five 343 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: percent compared to this time last year. Fifty percent of 344 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: these carjackings are committed by juveniles. Total property crime is 345 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: up twenty eight percent. Homicides are up thirty seven percent 346 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen. Just days ago, fourteen men were shot 347 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: in ten separate incidents within a twenty seven hour span 348 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: in Washington, DC. DC clearly has a crime crisis, so 349 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: that's going on. Play Meanwhile, Gail King over at CBS 350 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: using her platform to talk about how the issue we 351 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: want to stop violence is guns, and they're banning books, 352 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: and clip ten play it. We report these stories and 353 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: we go on to the next thing, and people are 354 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: still suffering all these years later, and I keep thinking 355 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: about those families we were talking about. Your kids rooms 356 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: are still there with all of their places in it. 357 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: And I've come to the point and it's very difficult 358 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: to even think that that we live in a country 359 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: where apparently we value guns over children, we value guns 360 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: over the lives of human beings. Guys, they're banning books 361 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: in schools. Books can't kill your children. They're banning some 362 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: books in schools, but yet the rules are very different 363 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to guns. They're not a stupidity here. 364 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: Book it just so, first of all, if you want 365 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: we said this in the first hour, and I do 366 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: think it's worth bringing up again and again, if you 367 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: want to ban guns, just say it, own it as 368 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: your argument and start to advocate for it. In the 369 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: First Amendment marketplace of ideas, you're going to lose, and 370 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: you're going to lose in a major way. And that's 371 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: why they don't ever actually say that, by and large, 372 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: although Randy Weingarten, as I said, the idiot teachers Union 373 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: chair did just come out and say that, so at 374 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: least she's being honest about that. Now, every time I 375 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: hear that a book is being banned, I want to 376 00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: pull my hair out. The book is not being banned. 377 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: I just if you don't take your kid to an 378 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: R rated movie. The R rated movie is not being banned. 379 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: Parents are making choices about at what age it is 380 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: appropriate to expose their kid to certain content. Buck one 381 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: of my kids came home recently unable to sleep because 382 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: he had watched forty minutes of this movie Smile, which 383 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: evidently is really terrifying. I haven't seen it. I bet 384 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: almost every single person listening to us right now remember 385 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: seeing at some point a scary movie that you might 386 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: have been too young to have seen Graham Stoker's Dracula. 387 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: Raise your hand. Even if you're driving around in the 388 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: car right now, if you didn't listen to mom and dad, 389 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: grandma and grandpa whoever was in charge, and you snuck 390 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: your way to watching a movie that was too scary 391 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: and that you were too young to have watched. I 392 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: remember still those Friday the thirteenth, those Nightmare on Elm 393 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: Street movies. They are in the like cotton candy for kids, right, 394 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: you can't not try to watch them, but you know 395 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: at the same time, it's gonna be hard to sleep 396 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: when it's dark in your bedroom after you watch those movies. 397 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: So most of the time, parents spend a lot of 398 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: their parenting effort to make sure that the age at 399 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: which you are exposed to content is appropriate. And so 400 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: this idea buck of banning guns, it's not gonna go anywhere, 401 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: are you. You're legitimately going to go start pulling up 402 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: to people's homes and try and take their guns away. 403 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: It's crazy talk. And simultaneously, this idea that they're they're 404 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 1: trying to tie to books and whether the books are 405 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: appropriate to be in the library. I'll give you an example. 406 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: When I started, you're much younger than me, totally different generations, 407 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: that's true. I remember when the Internet came to school. 408 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: For those of you out there who remember when suddenly 409 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: you might not have had the internet at home, we 410 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 1: didn't really have the internet much at my house when 411 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: I was in high school, but we had it at school. 412 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: And do you know what one of the first things 413 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: that teenage boys in my school tried to do when 414 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: they got on the internet, buck I have a feeling 415 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: I might probably have a guest, probably have a good 416 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: guess as to what they were trying to look at. 417 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: Teenage boys on the internet. We were not allowed. It's 418 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: a huge scandal in the school. You're not allowed to 419 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: try and look up porn on the Internet. We got 420 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: to put filters on the Internet. Nobody came running around saying, 421 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, they're trying to ban the Internet in 422 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: the school. No, they're banning pornography on school computers. My 423 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: school to Dean ban Maxim magazine, which when I was 424 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: a kid, when I was in a youth, Maxim magazine 425 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: was amazing. If you got call with a Maxim detention, now, 426 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: that wasn't banning Maxim from life. You weren't going to 427 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: prison for having a Maxim magazine on your person. But 428 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: the school said that's not appropriate for the school day 429 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: and for our hallways. And it was a pretty serious 430 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Jesuit institution, and so that's how it went. But so 431 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: they keep saying this line about the banning of books. 432 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: It is, it is a lie. It is it is propaganda. 433 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: But I would just note that while you know, so 434 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: they're all focusing on this, and they want to talk 435 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: about assault rifles, they want to talk about semi automatic 436 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: and by the way, I know, people get so mad 437 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: we use this term. They have managed to codify out 438 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: a number of places assault rifle is a thing that 439 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: exists in like the New York State, for example, in 440 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: the New York State Criminal Code or Code of Regulating Firearms. 441 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: So it does they've created it now, it does exist 442 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,239 Speaker 1: as a term. I know that it's to a lot 443 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: of people a meaningless term because it's a semi automatic 444 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: rifle with certain cosmetic characteristics. But meanwhile, I just think 445 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: it's interesting. If it's really to stop gun violence, why 446 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: not focus on where the gun violence is happening and 447 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: focus on putting the police resources in communities for this 448 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: too much gun violence. I bring us back to Washington, DC. 449 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: I just think this is a fascinating example, the same 450 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: way San Francisco shows you what you get if you 451 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: just go completely left and you allow people to camp 452 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: on the streets and do drugs in open air and 453 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: don't enforce the laws about a whole range of petty crimes. 454 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: You just get to decay disorder. And everyone who goes 455 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: there now admits the same thing in Portland, same thing 456 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: in Seattle. You're having something different in DC, and right 457 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: now you know, similar but different. There there's a story 458 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: up again and going to NPR. And this is from 459 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: a year ago that the city commissioned to study that 460 00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: there are five hundred people. DC city proper has maybe 461 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: six or seven hundred thousand residents. That called six hundred 462 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: thousand residents right, five hundred people are responsible for seventy 463 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: percent of the gun violence. Yeah, that's great. Here's this 464 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: crazy idea to keep six hundred thousand DC residents safer, 465 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: including three hundred thousand black residents of DC and all 466 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the residents of DC. To keep everybody safer. 467 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: And remember the black community is disproportionately affected by the 468 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: gun violence, and that most of the victims of the 469 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: gun violence are black. Arrest the five hundred or so 470 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: perpetrators and lock them up, keep them off the streets. 471 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: This is, by the way, they had a similar statistic 472 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: in New York, except it was, you know, because a 473 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,959 Speaker 1: much bigger city I forget, you know, will Bill Barr 474 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: wrote this editorial in the Wall Street Journal. He was like, look, 475 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: there's like a couple thousand people in New York City 476 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: who do all the bad violence, all of it. Basically, 477 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: lock them up and your crime rate goes away forever. 478 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: And they keep saying, oh, well we will, Yeah, you 479 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: lock them up on crime number fifty, and that's when 480 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: you catch them and buck. It's a tiny number of 481 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: people in a tiny number of neighborhoods. By and large, 482 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: we know not only who the people are, we know 483 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: where they're likely to commit their crimes. That's one of 484 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: the legacies of the nineteen nineties war on crime, and 485 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: we just forgot all the lessons of that era. And 486 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: now we're right back where we were in the nineteen eighties, 487 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: as we were running up to those all time highs 488 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: in the early nineties and violent crime. We know that 489 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: the status here, the situation is clear, and it really 490 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: is about you know, if they want to talk to 491 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: us about gun violence and saving lives, let's deal with 492 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: how we can actually save lives, and that is to 493 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: enforce the law in urban centers across the country in 494 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: a way that keeps dangerous people off the streets. I 495 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: also think we haven't even gotten this be in the 496 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: context of even a mass shooting situation, you have to 497 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: keep people who there has to be we talk about 498 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: mental health, people who are saying and plotting out possibly 499 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: very dangerous things. It has to be easier to commit 500 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: people involuntarily, which has been a thing that's gone away 501 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: really for the last thirty or so years. But that's 502 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: a whole other conversation. We'll get back to that. My friends, 503 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: if you believe in your Second Amendment rights, you should 504 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 1: also act on your Second Amendment responsibility to be careful, safe, 505 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: and competent in your shooting.

I don't know if 524 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: you saw this, but I saw it was thought it 525 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: was pretty great news. And we have talked about this 526 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: craziness surrounding the protests and how angry people get anytime 527 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: NHL players refuse to wear the LGBTQ plus rainbow uniforms 528 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: or whatever they were. Ivan Provov memorably of the Philadelphia 529 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: Flyers a few months ago refuse to wear the rainbow 530 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: jersey because he said it violated his own personal beliefs 531 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: to celebrate that from a religious perspective. And I saw 532 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: this headline and I thought to myself, my goodness, maybe 533 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: we are starting to win some battles on sports, just 534 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: going back to sports and not getting lost in the 535 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: crazy woke universe. The NHL commissioner Gary Bettman came out 536 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: and said because these LGBTQ Pride uniforms and stories are 537 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: becoming a distraction that he believes they may need to 538 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: eliminate them going forward. And I saw this quote and 539 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Wow, this is the first time 540 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: we've experienced that. I think it's something we're going to 541 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: have to evaluate in the offseason. This is one issue 542 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: where players, for a variety of variety of reasons, may 543 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: not feel comfortable wearing the uniform as a form of endorsement. 544 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: I think it's become more of a distraction now because 545 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: the substance of what our teams is being pushed to 546 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: the side for a handful of players making personal decisions, 547 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: and you have to respect that as well. This is 548 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: kind of crazy to hear a commissioners say, hey, maybe 549 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: we'll just play hockey and not worry about endorsing any 550 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: particular group of people. And that was the America that 551 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: we all thought we were growing up in. With regard 552 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: to businesses operating as businesses for the most part, you know, 553 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: it's just you know, where you go buy your paper towel, 554 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: or you know what bakery you get your cookies from 555 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: or whatever. You just wanted a good product and good 556 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: customer service and you went about your day. You know, 557 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: you didn't need emails about what the latest, you know, 558 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: stance of the company that's selling you. You know, tissue 559 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: paper thinks about the LGBTQ plus yes, civil rights struggle 560 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: in America or whatever. But you know, I think it's 561 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: worth looking at, as people online say, the slip Slope 562 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: as the undefeated champion, which is so true. You know, 563 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: if you didn't have this pushback, and I think everybody 564 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: should consider this as well, not just for professional athletes, 565 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: but for your own, your own children, in your own life, 566 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: and your own corporate existence at your company. How long 567 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: before be okay everybody? So you know we're all gonna 568 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: like put on a ribbon or do some show of 569 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: solidarity with gender affirming surgery for kids. How far out 570 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: do we really think that would be without pushback the 571 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: Biden anyone who would argue, oh that's crazy, the Biden 572 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: White House and Joe Biden himself speak out forcefully in 573 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: favor of this as necessary healthcare. Yes, that is what 574 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: that is their official position. So why wouldn't they say, 575 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: we all need everybody to stand and you know, you know, 576 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: a moment of solidarity here with gender affirming care for 577 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: twelve year olds as in chemical castration and or sex 578 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: change operations for teenagers or whatever. How far away do 579 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: you think that is? I don't think it's far oh. 580 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: I mean when Joe Biden is being interviewed in the 581 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: White House by a man pretending to be a woman, 582 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: that Dylan mulvany or whatever that person's name, not well, 583 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 1: by the way, in a way that really also mocks women, 584 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying to this note, And this 585 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: never gets talked about, but but you know, Dylan mulvanny 586 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: and some of these influencers, these these friends influencers, their 587 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: version of women is and put aside the physical and 588 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: the but I just mean, the presentation is always of 589 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: almost like you know, a valley girl. You know, I'm 590 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: just you know, just I've never met a woman who's 591 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: like any of these women they're pretending to be. It's 592 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: basically blackface, except of women, right, Like, I think there's 593 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: a strong argument that it's woman face, meaning the way 594 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: that they preen around and behave is a very exaggerated 595 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: sense of the way that women behave, right, And they're 596 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: not women, and so the outfits that they wear, the 597 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: way they run around, the way they behave, it's a 598 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: form of theatrical behavior that is not representative of the 599 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: average woman. And I don't understand how we have reached 600 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: this world. Then let's build on this because did you 601 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: see did you see over the weekend where CNN had 602 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: a piece saying that if you're a white person and 603 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 1: you share a meme or a jiff of a black person, 604 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: that you're guilty of digital blackface. Yes, it did get 605 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,720 Speaker 1: the worst ratio on Twitter. I think I've ever seen 606 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: of people completely condemning this idiocy. But yes, but it 607 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: did raise, in my opinion, the question of which I 608 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: think is so impossible for any left winger to answer. 609 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: If pretending to be a different race is unacceptable in 610 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: the extreme, how is pretending to be a different sex heroic? 611 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: No one can answer this question. And there is more 612 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: criticism on CNN of a white person sharing a black 613 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: person meme on Twitter than there is of a man 614 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: pretending to be a woman, isn't how do we end 615 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: up in this world? Also, you look at look at 616 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,919 Speaker 1: the rules here. I mean there's there's now this whole 617 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: movement to just cast um, you know, not non white 618 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: actors in historical pieces to play This is the constant 619 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: thing that's going on. I mean it's Hamilton started this thing, right, 620 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: but it's been followed by everyone, Like I'm gonna do 621 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: Bridgerton and it's gonna be eighteenth or nineteenth century Britain, 622 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: but we're gonna have people who clearly did not live 623 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain. But so that that 624 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: is like celebrated to the height of culture. But if 625 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: you share a little video of Michael Jordan crying to 626 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: make a joke about something, you're a bad person.
