1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to the Wednesday edition of

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. And we are

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: wrecked and stacked today. We have so much disgusted you.

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. Clay in Nashville, tennessee me

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Buck here in NYC. The communist enclave thereof is great.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: It is cold, it is run by authoritarians. Feels more

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: and more like Siberia with each passing day. My beloved

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: New York City ruined by the crazy libs. We'll get

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: into it and the Manhattan DA. He's got some thoughts,

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: things like, oh, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't seek

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: prison sentences that keep saying carce Roule sentence, prison sentence

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: for armed robbery. This is real, folks, this is real.

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: You'd think that after defund the police they've learned, they'd

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: learn a lesson. We're gonna get into that in some detail. Plus,

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: you know how we've been raising on this show concerns

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: about whether the data is actually accurate when it comes

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: to COVID hospitalizations. Clay often says the phrase about children

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: in recent months, is it with COVID or from COVID. Well,

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: overall are people counted as hospitalized at least in New

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: York State, and we know this is being replicated elsewhere

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: with COVID or from COVID. The Governor of New York

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: is now saying, yeah, we got to dive into that. Oh,

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: it turns out it's not a conspiracy theory. Plus, we

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: got some Novak Djokovic updates for the tennis. I'm a

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: tennis fan, I'll tell you the truth. And he is

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: having some trouble in the landdown Under about his vaccination status.

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: We got a whole lot more, but I do want

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: to start today. Clay and I were totally aligned on

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: this one. If you have to pick one thing right

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: now that shows you the rotten core of the Democrat

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Party in the era of COVID, I don't think you

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: could have a better example of it. I don't think

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: anything could be more clear than what's going on right

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: now in the Windy City, Chicago, three hundred and forty

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: owls and students are shut out of school today. Why Well,

37
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: because the teachers union is decided that they want another

38
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: paid vacation. They want to stay home and do quote

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: remote learning, which, as we all know from the actual

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: studies and experience of this, means effectively no learning at all.

41
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: The teacher of the Chicago Teachers Union and the school

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: districts are in an impasse over what they call COVID

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: nineteen safety. Here's the impasse. The teachers Union is very powerful,

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: very important Democrats, and they think they can get their way, Clay.

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: There isn't even an argument that they can make in

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: good faith that schools should be shut down while restaurants, bars, clubs,

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: you name it. Yes they have vaccine, pasports, but they're

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: not closed. But they're doing this anyway because they think

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: they can get away with it. The nation's third largest city,

50
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Buck after New York in LA. There are three hundred

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand kids in Chicago that are not in

52
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: school today because seventy seven percent of Chicago area school

53
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: teachers voted not to go back to school in person

54
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: because of COVID. And I got some numbers here for you, Buck,

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: because this goes to the essence of what I think

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: is the most fundamental failure of everything we have done

57
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: associated with COVID. The poorest and the kids with the

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: least advantages. The Democratic party. Where do they say all

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: the time, Oh, we care about equity. They don't even

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: care about equality anymore. They care about equity. Listen to

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: these numbers, Buck, and I want you to just think

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: about the kids that these teachers and these Democratic politicians

63
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and their teachers unions are leaving behind three hundred and

64
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: thirty thousand kids Chicago area public schools. Eighty two percent

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: of those kids, Buck, are black or Hispanic. Eighty two

66
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: percent black or Hispanic. Seventy percent are on free or

67
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: reduced lunch. Okay, think about that for a minute. A

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: lot of these kids who are not in school today

69
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: in Chicago are not able to get regular, safe, healthy

70
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: food breakfast and lunch. By the way, twenty one percent

71
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: have limited English proficiency. Fifteen percent have special education needs. Okay,

72
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: that is the data on the kids who are being

73
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: wronged by the failures of adults. And this is the

74
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: part of all of the COVID Insanity book. And I

75
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: say this as a parent, and I say this as

76
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: somebody who believes in public schools. I went to public

77
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: schools K through twelve Nashville area. My kids, my two youngest,

78
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: are in public schools. Now, this is indefensible. The Democratic

79
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: politicians who have allowed this to happen, who have allowed

80
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: themselves to be captured by the school teacher unions. This

81
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: is the biggest failure of American public policy in our lives.

82
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: And the fact that Joe Biden, you can say, well,

83
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: it's a local Chicago school district. The fact that Joe

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: Biden and his cronies in the Democratic Party two years

85
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: into this buck are not standing up and saying you

86
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: go to work or we are going to do whatever

87
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: is necessary to take away your paychecks. I think it

88
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: is infuriating to me, and I know it's infuriating to

89
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: a lot of parents out there listening right now in

90
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: Chicago and other places who are the bad guys here.

91
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: Think about that for a second, right, listen to what

92
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Clay just laid out for everybody. On those numbers, we're

93
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: talking about kids who are suffering. And let's note, not

94
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: just today, it will be weeks of this. It'll be

95
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: more falling behind academically, more households where people might have

96
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: to stop working, lose a job, but they really need

97
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: to take care of kids because they have to handle

98
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: this sudden change in what the COVID policies are thanks

99
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: to the teachers unions doctor Anthony Fauci. And I know

100
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: people think that he is, you know, my white whale

101
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: and I'm obsessed with you, but they're not wrong. Doctor

102
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci is on TV every five minutes. It feels

103
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: like where is he? Where is Wilenski on not saying

104
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: we think the following, we think maybe schools should be open,

105
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: but saying this is wrong. Why not use the platforms

106
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: that they have? Why not come out and speak as

107
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: public health professionals about this issue. We know that child suicide,

108
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: team suicide is way up. We know that learning loss

109
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: is enormous. We know that anxiety disorders, mental health issues

110
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: are skyrocketing. Those are all very serious things that you

111
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: would think a public health professional who has an enormous

112
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: amount of influence on these policies would care about. No,

113
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: of course not, because Fauci's constituency is the Democrat Party

114
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: and c an n not the American people, And that's

115
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: why he won't scold them. He scolded you know, your

116
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: your neck of the woods club about football games. You

117
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: scolded people who wanted to enjoy SEC games this summer.

118
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Where's the scolding? Of the teachers union. We all know why.

119
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: And look, I got an email yesterday. My kids public

120
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: schools went back today in person, not wearing masks. I

121
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: went and talked at my school board back in August.

122
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: But I'm a kid who went to public schools in Nashville,

123
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: and I went to a lot of public schools. I'm

124
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. We're not that great at schools, right,

125
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly not in the context of where my

126
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: kids get to go to school now. And so I

127
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: believe every Republican politician, and frankly, I believe every Democratic politician,

128
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: but they've shown themselves to be totally wrong on this issue,

129
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: and they won't even speak out. We talk a lot

130
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: about how do we broaden the tent of sanity in

131
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: this country, how do we add allies. Every Republican politician

132
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: and every staffer who works for a Republican politician that

133
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: is listening to us right now all over this country

134
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: ought to be firing off as aggressively as they can

135
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: at the teachers' unions right now, because we're talking about

136
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: the third largest school district in America, and it's, like

137
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: I said, it's eighty two percent black and Hispanic. Do

138
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: kids of underprivileged backgrounds in the United States deserve education

139
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: in person or not? This is an existential question that

140
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: has not really been fought for two years. If I

141
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: could go back in time and all honesty, and I

142
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: argued this at the time, I think one of the

143
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: great flaws of the twenty twenty Trump presidential campaign, the

144
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: fact that Biden managed to get dragged across the finish line,

145
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: was because of moms in the suburbs. I think if

146
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Trump had gone all in in October and November of

147
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty leading up to that election and said every

148
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: school district has to be open for in person learning

149
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: that he would have brought a ton of moms, not

150
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: only white moms, Black moms, Hispanic moms, Asian moms, and

151
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: a lot of dads too, who understand. Look, Buck, this

152
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: is the foundation of getting back to normalcy, because if

153
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: you can't get your kids to school, many people can't

154
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: go to work. This is why the overall women's employment

155
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: rate has collapsed in this country. It is the essence

156
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: of failure that we are still fighting these battles. And look,

157
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't know the full legality of what could be

158
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: done from a federal perspective, right, But I do know this.

159
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan did not allow the air traffic controllers to

160
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: go on strike because of the importance of their job.

161
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: If I were right now advising Joe Biden, I would say,

162
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: you come out and talk all the time about equity

163
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: and inclusion. How in the world are you going to

164
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: allow the third largest school district in America to not

165
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: be going back to school over COVID Right now, you

166
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: have to own this. This is your failure. You've had

167
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: a full year to solve it. This is on your watch.

168
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: The Randy Wine Gardens, all these teachers unions that only

169
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: care about themselves, not the kids. It's time for kids

170
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: to be put in front of adults in the lineup

171
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: of who we care about. Way past time. And this

172
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: is such it infuria can tell about my voice. It

173
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: infuriates me. It's never going to happen, as you and

174
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: I both know, as everyone listening to this knows, because

175
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: the teachers unions are among the most important machines for

176
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: donations and votes in the entire National Democrat Party. The

177
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: teachers unions are a commy enclave that work. If you

178
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: look at the donations by enormous donations from teachers unions

179
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: across the country to candidates, as well as of course

180
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: get off the vote efforts, all the things that they do.

181
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: And this is part of the Democrat big city machinery.

182
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Certainly in a place like Chicago. It's true in New York,

183
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Find me a big city, I'll show you

184
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: teachers unions that get their way that are never going

185
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: to be crossed by the Democrat Party. You're right, Joe Biden.

186
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: If it was about the children, which it's never about

187
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: the children when you're talking about these teachers unions, if

188
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: it was about the children, he would come out and say,

189
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: exactly what what is going on here? I mean, this

190
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: is a moment to show that the Left can be

191
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: reasonable when it comes to COVID restrictions. Of course they

192
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: can't be, and they won't be. And this also raises

193
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: the question, Clay, of you and I are both opposed

194
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: to school shutdowns. In the fall of twenty was considered controversial.

195
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: You and I went to the mat to fight for

196
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: schools to be open, and yet here we are now

197
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: looking at how the teachers unions while the rest of

198
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: society in Chicago is still a lot, brother. They've had

199
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: some noise about this in New York. They've had some

200
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: noise about this from the unions. In LA they feel

201
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: like maybe this is too much. But in Chicago, that

202
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: city machinery, they think they have the ability to get

203
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: what they want. Here, Clay, this raises for a lot

204
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: of us the question of was it ever a good idea?

205
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: Was it ever fair for the teachers' unions to shut

206
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: down these schools? Why did Fauci bend the need to

207
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: them as he did. And of course we see now

208
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: it was never about health or safety of kids. It

209
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: was about lazy adults who have power in the Democrat

210
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Party and some who are neurotics who were terrified, not

211
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: wanting to do their jobs. I want to get paid

212
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: to sit at home on a couch. That's what actually happened,

213
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: and kids suffered because of it. Yeah, and when we

214
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: come back, Buck, I have what I believe is a

215
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: perfect idea for how Democrats should respond. You know, tomorrow

216
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: is going to be insufferable with all the insurrection coverage

217
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: on CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times and

218
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: the Washington Post and all their expose. As I know,

219
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: Trump is not having his press conference right now. I've

220
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: got an absolutely brilliant idea for Donald Trump and other

221
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: Republicans of what they should do tomorrow. I'll tell you

222
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: what it is. In the meantime, refining your mortgage can

223
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: make a big difference in your life. It certainly has

224
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: for those already taking advantage of the lower interest rates.

225
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: Today's low rates won't last all this year. They're bound

226
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: to increase. Taking advantage of them means you could save

227
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: up to a thousand dollars a month, which is twelve

228
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. That kind of money can be

229
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: used to pay off debt, invest improve your home. Totally

230

Speaker 1: up to you. It starts with one phone call to

247
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: I have the perfect response that Republicans all over the

248
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: country should adopt on January sixth tomorrow as the media

249
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: is set to lose its mind over the anniversary of

250
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: the January sixth riots at the Capitol. But first, talking

251
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: about kids in schools, and this is directly connected to that. Jensaki,

252
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: if we play cut twenty here said basically, schools can't

253
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: reopen because unvaccinated people are putting kids at data. This

254
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: is all nonsensical. Listen to this. I think what's important

255
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: to step back here is recognized we're still in the

256
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic. There are still far too many

257
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: people who are not vaccinated. There are still kids who

258
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: are at risk because there are not enough people adults vaccinated,

259
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: And I think what we're all collectively trying to do

260
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: here is protect more people and save our lives. Whether

261
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: you work here or at the CDC or the FDA,

262
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: everything she said is a lie in that statement, everything

263
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: she said, But kids are not in danger from unvaccinated adults,

264
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: unvaccinated people, and vaccinated people are spreading COVID widely. But

265
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: here is my theory. I want to I want to

266
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: see what you think about this. January sixth. Republicans are

267
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: gonna mostly just kind of disappear from the Capitol, and

268
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to marinate in the danger. They're going

269
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: to argue this is why they have to change the

270
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: voting laws and democracies at stake and all these things.

271
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump canceled his January sixth press conference. If Donald

272
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Trump wants to speak out, and I would say this

273
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: for any prominent national Republican figure, the play here, and

274
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: I think it's an important one, is to while the

275
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Democrats are focusing on a year ago, go to Chicago,

276
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: or draw direct attention to Chicago and all of the

277
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: kids that are not in school in Chicago. Imagine the

278
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: optics if Donald Trump got on a plane, flew to Chicago,

279
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: had a press conference where he said, open Chicago schools.

280
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: All of these kids need to be in person right now.

281
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: Eighty two percent of these kids are black and Hispanic.

282
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: It is indefensible that Democratic politicians are bowing down to

283
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: the unions. And while they're all focused on January sixth

284
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: and the past, I am focused on the future. And

285
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: our country's future is kids in school getting educations. It's

286
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, It's Ron De Santis, it is Greg Abbott,

287
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: it is any national political figure in the Republican Party.

288
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: While the Democrats are trying to draw attention to January sixth,

289
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: you counter program with things that are going on right now,

290
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: which is kids not in school. Buck Would that not

291
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: play incredibly well? You got Schumer in Pelosi sitting around

292
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: talking about how democracy is at stake and how terrified

293
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: they were a year ago, AOC's crying that she thought

294
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: she was going to be attacked, and then Donald Trump

295
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: bows up says every kid needs to be in school.

296
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: I think it would be an incredible political moment to

297
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: just have those dichotomies at play at the exact same time.

298
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: I like it. Maybe, I mean, is that not is

299
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: that not. I mean, and hopefully they don't. I mean,

300
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I think the Chicago schools they may end up opening

301
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: just because they realize what Lorie Lightfoot doesn't want them.

302
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: She says, they're on unpaid status now, by the way,

303
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: so yes, but you have to see how this actually.

304
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: They could be open as up tomorrow. So the first

305
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: teacher that doesn't get paid is gonna be the last.

306
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: It ain't happening right up. Call him to account, hold

307
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: him accountable. I would love to see it. It's not

308
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: often we hear stories like the one. Diane, living in California,

309
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: writes to us she tried a product we've been telling

310
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: you about, and it's called Relief Factor. Her words say

311
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: at all I have to tell you, within four days

312
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: of taking this product, I went from staying in a

313
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: chair in misery to out walking four to five miles

314
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: a day. I'm now able to keep my walking routine

315
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: without pain. So happy I tried Relief Factor. Those are

316
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: Diane's words. She's one of many Americans who found relief

317
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: Factor to be a great way to help with chronic pain.

318
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Relief Factor is one hundred percent drug free, addresses joint knee, hip, back, neck,

319
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: and shoulder pain. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered

320
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: Relief Factor. About seventy percent go on to order more

321
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: join them. More than half a million people order the

322
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: three week quick start from the nineteen ninety five Got

Speaker 1: developed for you. That's relief Factor dot com or call

326
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: eight hundred the number four Relief. A lot of the

327
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: suffering that's occurring across the country right now is the

328
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: result of Democrat machinery and apparatuses that are inflicting bad ideas,

329
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: acting on bad policies and then don't change because it's

330
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: not about the outcome, it's about the intent. Right, So

331
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to the Democrat Party that shutting down

332
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: schools is disastrous and wasn't necessary and doesn't promote health

333
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: and doesn't stop doesn't stop the spread. That's what teachers

334
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: unions want, and they're betraying children, and they're betraying the

335
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: very educational mission they're supposed to have. But teachers unions

336
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: are important. The machinery is important the Democrat Party, the

337
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: machinery of prosecutors offices and Welcome back the Clay and

338
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: Buck Show. The machinery of prosecutors offices across the country,

339
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: and increasingly what people are recognizing as the Sauroast backed

340
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: district attorneys, have caused a tremendous amount of suffering, very

341
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: real suffering. You know. It's one thing when you talk

342
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: about inflation or you talk about the unemployment rate and

343
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: they can say, well, it's not our fault or it's

344
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: better than it was. When people are being bludgeoned in

345
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: the street, when someone is let out on bail immediately

346
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: and then goes on to commit a mass murder in Waukashaw, Wisconsin,

347
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: and we still haven't heard what the official motive is there.

348
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: Have we exactly what we thought all along. They didn't

349
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: want to talk about what was a mass hate crime,

350
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: so our mass murder hate crime. Instead they just said,

351
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: we don't know, we don't know, and then we'll talk

352
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: about something else. But we have these district attorneys in

353
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: places like We've talked about it, Clay and I've talked

354
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: about it many times. Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, Chesa Boudan

355
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, Go down the list, Kim Fox in Chicago,

356
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: and now we have a new district attorney in Manhattan,

357
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: in America's largest city, and this guy has already, right

358
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: off the bat shown everybody exactly what they should expect.

359
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg has said in a memo that his office

360
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: will not seek a carcel sentence, also known as prison time.

361
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: This is now. But anytime you hear someone start talking

362
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: about ending massive carceration, the carcel state, this is the

363
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: language of the left in the realm of criminal justice.

364
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: It's a tell right away. Have you even heard the

365
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: term Carso this is like three or four years ago.

366
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: If you heard someone say sis gender, they were effectively

367
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: telling you that, you know they they voted for Hillary

368
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: and Biden or Bernie, and they like Tefu a lot,

369
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: and they are left wing and they wear birkenstocks, right.

370
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there are certain tells you have through language.

371
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: Carcel state is something you talk about as a left

372
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: wing person. Clay, Here's what Alvin Bragg is now saying

373
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: as the new district attorney in New York. They will

374
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: not seek prison time for They will not seek it

375
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: for a number of offenses, including some with at least

376
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: the threat of violence, like armed robbery, the rule is

377
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: that only an extraordinary circumstances, he wrote in this memo,

378
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: based on a holistic analysis of the facts, can you

379
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: actually accept these rules, meaning that they do not want

380
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: people to go to prison for these things unless there's

381
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: an extraordinary circumstance. So the people bringing the charges. In

382
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: some ways, this is even worse than a very left

383
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: wing judge, because the actual machinery of bringing the charges

384
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: in the first place, so the public even knows about it,

385
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: is in the hands of people who are being told.

386
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: If someone sticks a gun in a New Yorker's face

387
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: and says give me your car, give me your wallet,

388
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: and they don't actually shoot them, maybe we shouldn't send

389
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: that person to prison. Play to call this madness after

390
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: what we've seen with defund the police, the massive rise

391
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: in violent crime across the country is an understatement. But

392
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: this is left wing democrat ideology. Now, this is about belief,

393
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: not about facts. And it's also, as I point out,

394
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: I think it's significant to understand what's happened here. All

395
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: of this soft on crime political shenanigans is predicated on

396
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: low crime rates, because being upset about the amount of

397
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: time that criminals are in prison is a luxury of

398
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: low crime rates, and what we are seeing now is

399
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: skyrocketing crime rates, though we've been seeing it for a

400
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: long time to be fair, right, So how we get

401
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: here is the low crime rates, but we're at high

402
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: crime rates now. We have seen from twenty nineteen to

403
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: two twenty buck was the largest single year increase in

404
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: murders on record for the FBI, nearly thirty percent. And

405
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: we're going to grow from two twenty all time highs

406
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: to higher rates in twenty twenty one. And the crazy

407
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: thing here is buck. The one thing that Joe Biden

408
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: might have gotten right in his political career was the

409
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four Crime Bill, which, if you go back

410
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: and look, was a seismic step towards putting criminals behind bars.

411
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: And as you just read and analyzed what the DA's

412
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: all over the country are going to be doing, remember,

413
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: criminals know what is going to happen too, So you

414
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: are sending a message to criminals to encourage them in

415
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: some ways to commit crimes because they know the punishment

416
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: if they are caught, when the vast majority of them

417
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: will not be caught, are going to be relatively insignificant.

418
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: I think what you're headed for is a war between

419
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: oftentimes democratic mayors, because I think Eric Adams is not

420
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: going to be happy about this. Remember London Breed in

421
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco basically said she was tired of all of

422
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: this crap. I think you're going to see a war

423
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: between mayors in internal war and Democrats, between mayors who

424
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: understand how failed these policies are, and district attorneys funded

425
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: by George Soros who are still trying to argue against

426
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: putting people in prison. We should look at what the

427
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: justification is for this as well. Now, remember some of

428
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: the primary changes. We always we talk about defund the police,

429
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: and that covers a whole lot of stuff. Ideologically speaking, yes,

430
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: it's of course money for cops. But when someone says

431
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: they're a defund the police advocate, they're also about ending

432
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: mass incarceration. That's the key phrase they'll say, And you say, well,

433
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: what is that. Are you telling me we have a

434
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of innocent people in prison? No, they're not actually

435
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: saying we have that many. It's not that, you know,

436
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: a huge portion of people that are serving prison sentences

437
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: are innocent. It's that the system itself shouldn't be putting

438
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: them in prison because it's too harsh, it's too mean,

439
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: and there's disparities involved. This is actually from that memo

440
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: that he put out the Now the district attorneys that

441
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: work for these are the ad as. Assistant district attorneys

442
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: that work for Alvin Bragg, New York have to look

443
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: at whether a carcerel sentence um, what it does to

444
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: potential future barriers to convicts involving housing and employment, the

445
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: financial cost of prison, and racial disparities over who is

446
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: prosecuted and gets time. Uh, that is that is where

447
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: we're heading here, folks. I mean that you have to

448
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: understand they're basically saying, because let me let me point

449
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 1: it out to everybody this way, ninety percent of violent

450
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: crime in this country is perpetrated by men. None are

451
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: the ones who serve prison time for violent crimes. Now,

452
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: we can sit around and say, oh, you know, that's

453
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: that's a sexist that our incarceration rates are sexist because

454
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: men are wildly overpunished relative to population based on just

455
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: pure male versus female population. And yet we also all

456
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: know that men are the ones who are actually committing

457
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: the crimes and need to be punished for it. We

458
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: don't it doesn't matter what the percentages are. There's no

459
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: quotas for crime. And what you see with the sorrows

460
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: back left wing prosecutors is well, because there are disparities

461
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: in the system just about the overall percentages of who's

462
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: in prison. There must be racism. There must be I mean,

463
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: I guess there's not sexism, but there must be other

464
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: disparities that have to be addressed. And so the way

465
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: that they're addressing it is by suggesting that the public's

466
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: interest in safety will be served by letting somebody who's

467
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: an armed robber, for example clay. We're talking about no

468
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: prison time. It's not even a reduction. No prison crazy.

469
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, to your point on sexism, look

470
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: there are right now you can look at murders. We

471
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: like to talk about murders because we know they happened.

472
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: It's hard to hide a dead body. So the most

473
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: violent crime, that crime that can be committed as a murder.

474
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: Men between eighteen and twenty four are the biggest proponents

475
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: of murder, the biggest culprits of murder, the people most

476
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: likely to do it. But you know what, six percent

477
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: of the population is black men, right, Black men make

478
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: up over half of all murders that are committed in

479
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: the United States. That occurs, right, we know that crime occurs.

480
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: So sometimes the reason why there is a disparate treatment.

481
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: I know this is going to blow people's mind, is

482
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: because the people who are responsible for it. Just as

483
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: you said, Buck, when it comes to men are more

484
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: responsible for violent crime than women. There is a large

485
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: percentage of murder that is occurring committed by black men.

486
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Are we not supposed to punish them because of their race?

487
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: Are we supposed to be upset? Because you have to

488
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: look at the data. Go and this is what the

489
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: whole broken windows concept was. Find the neighborhoods where the

490
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: crime is and go try to stop it from happening.

491
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: That needs to happen everywhere. In the meantime, you weren't

492
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: just voting this past November. You vote every month with

493
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: the money you spend in the companies you spend it with,

494
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to your cell phone provider, which

495
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: virtually everyone listening right now is paying right now, Does

496
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: your money support the candidates and the issues they donate to,

497
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: And just how comfortable are you discovering your money supports

498
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: politicians advocating far left agendas. There's a solution, pure Talk.

499

515
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: surprisingly it's pretty good, but Rand Paul fantastic breaking down

516
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: all the latest data on COVID. Appreciate him joining us.

517
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: You can scroll through. It's broken down by hour, by subject.

518
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: You can find anything that you want out there to

519
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: dive in two and Buck, I know, we probably shouldn't

520
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: be surprised that our nation's smartest, and I'm saying that

521
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: in quotation marks. Universities are among the most draconian when

522
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: it's come to COVID. If you remember, the Ivy League

523
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: shut down for a couple of years. That was before

524
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: they sports, before they allowed men to start to compete

525
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: against women. They were shutting down all of their sports.

526
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: And now I'm looking at some of the stories that

527
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: are coming out Princeton. Buck is not allowing students to

528
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: leave the County of Princeton where they're located for the semester.

529
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is madness. Yale is requiring all students

530
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: to quarantine alone in their dorm rooms when they return,

531
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: despite the fact that all of the university is double

532
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: vaxed and boosted. And they said that if you go

533
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: off campus, you cannot eat at any restaurants, including outdoor seating. This,

534
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: as I talked about yesterday, Stanford has eliminated all crowds

535
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: for its sporting events indoors other than family members. There's

536
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: no data, there's no science to support this at all.

537
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: How do we get to a place, Buck, where ostensibly

538
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: the universities filled with the smartest kids in our country

539
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: are making the dumbest decisions when it comes to COVID. Honestly,

540
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: the universities really aren't filled with smart kids these days.

541
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of kids who are box checkers, a

542
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: lot of kids who have some in and understand the system.

543
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: And yeah, there are brilliant kids with amazing boards and

544
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: all that, but what about leadership and judgment and character?

545
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: Those are things that are laughable now at the university level.

546
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: They certainly don't try to gauge that in the admissions process,

547
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: but even more importantly, they don't even try to bring

548
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: it out of kids when they're there. They have speech codes,

549
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: they have all of this touchy feely do what we

550
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: say or else left wing authoritarianism. And for a school

551
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: like Yale University to tell them right now and really

552
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: it's essentially a hedge fund with some classes attached to it.

553
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: As people say, this is true of a lot of

554
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: these schools now. And you know, and I know for

555
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: the Boomer generation, for those who went to the super

556
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: fancy schools, they have these great memories that really helped

557
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: them help their lives. I know plenty of kids I

558
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: grew up here in Manhattan who went to the fanciest

559
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: of the fancy schools. Some of them did, find some

560
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: of them didn't. I mean, it's not the ticket to

561
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: greatness that people want, though it was maybe thirty or

562
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: forty years ago and beyond. But to tell kids at

563
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: Yale right now that you can't sit outside at a

564
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: restaurant and come back to campus when you are a

565
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: fully vaccinated but I even hate that term fully vaccent

566
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: because really no such thing right vaccinated or not. At

567
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: this point, you got the shot, okay, so who knows

568
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: how long you're even fully vaccinated? And for no reasonable

569
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: person would look at this policy and say this makes sense,

570
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: this will do anything anything. In the beginning of this Clay,

571
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: we are being forced to deal with tyrannical overreach on

572
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: the promise that would at least save people or stop

573
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: the spread or shut it down. Now we have tyrannical

574
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: overreach despite the fact that it will not and we

575
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: all see it do any of those things that it promises.

576
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: All we get is downside from these idiots. What's also

577
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: disappointing to me, Buck is if you think about historically

578
00:33:54,560 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: what college represented, it represented an opportunity to rebel right.

579
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: If you think back to the sixties and the seventies,

580
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: it's wild to even contemplate. The Vietnam protest came to

581
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: a large extent out of universities. People didn't want to

582
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: be a Vietnam, they didn't want to get drafted, they

583
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: didn't think we should be a war there. They were

584
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: fighting the system. They were opposed to the larger culture

585
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: that was trying to force them to undertake actions they

586
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: did not believe were justified. There are no kids, to

587
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: my knowledge, on any of these campuses that are saying,

588
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: wait a minute, We've listened to you and got double vaccinated,

589
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: we got boostered, We've worn masks around four months on

590
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: this campus. The promise that you sold us was rooted

591
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: in fallacy. It is a lie. We are no safer

592
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: from COVID on this campus, after all these things have

593
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: done than we were beforehand. Yet none of these kids,

594
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: to my knowledge, are willing to stand up to authority

595
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: at all. They're terrified still somehow that they're going to

596
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: die of COVID, and they're acquiescing to the power of authority. Figures.

597
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: This is true also with a lot of the problems

598
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: that we saw with the UPenn Swimmer situation, whereby these

599
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: kids at these elite institutions and they're young adults. Let's

600
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: be these are adults, are eighteen plus, So these are

601
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: young adults. They are trying to leverage the system themselves.

602
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: And look, I don't you know, I went to the

603
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: best school that I thought I should go to. And

604
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, you, Clay, you went to a fancy law school. Like.

605
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that people shouldn't do that, but what

606
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: I am pointing out is that people will not stand

607
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: against the system when they're within it and hoping to

608
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: benefit from it. So at Yale, do you want to

609
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: be the kid or at any of these schools. Do

610
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: you want to be a kid who says the administration's

611
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: policies on COVID are moronic? You might not get that

612
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs interview next fall. You know, you may not

613
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: be And this is what ends up happening. They're in

614
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: these places not for the education, not for the certainly

615
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: moral and ethical training. They're there to be a part

616
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: of the system that has embraced this lunacy. I'm just

617
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 1: so disappointed Buck that more of them are not smart

618
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: enough to look at the data and make their own decisions.

619
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: And it is really disappointing to see, maybe more so

620
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: than anything else, how many people not only are comfortable

621
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: being cheap, how many people are trying to constantly ensure

622
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: that there are as many cheap as possible in this country.

623
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,040

624
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: who wants to be not to accept what authority figures

625
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: tell me. But if you're not doing that at eighteen,

626
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty years old, when are you ever going to

627
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: do it? We'll continue to talk about this and more.
