1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,239 Speaker 1: Welcome back. In our number three Thursday edition of the program, 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Buck is still in Taiwan. He will be back on Monday. 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: By the way, I'll be out so he'll lose your 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: minds Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I'll be back on Thursday with Buck. 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be down in Florida. Can't wait. In the 6 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: Panhandle area of Florida, where we spend a lot of time. 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: We've got a couple of boys having their fall breaks 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: different times. Of course, that always ends up happening. It 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: feels like I'm gonna be honest with you guys. My 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: boys are getting older, and I'm trying to make sure 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: that I am spending as much time with them as 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: I can. My oldest is going off to college next year, 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: and then they're gonna be headed out sooner rather than later, 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: so I'm trying to make sure that we pack as 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: much as we can before they are off to college. 16 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: I hope that they're going to want to come back 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: and hang out with mom and dad after they're in college, 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I think they're probably going to 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: recognize that things are pretty expensive, and mom and dad 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: taking them places and being able to do things with 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: them is a goodbye when they're still in their twenties 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: before they get married and have families of their own. 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: But I don't know. I'm not risking it. So we're 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: trying to do as much as we can with them. 25 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: So if I'm out, it's almost one hundred percent of 26 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: the time, unless it's a charity event, probably going to 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: be something affiliated with my family because the boys are 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: getting older. So just fyi. But Buck is in Taiwan 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: right now. He's set down with the Taiwan President. He 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: will have some of that for you on Monday and 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: we'll be back together on Thursday. But I'll be out Monday, Tuesday, 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: Wednesday and be out a little bit during the fall 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: with my family. With the boys having different holidays, they 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: all get fall breaks. Now I don't remember getting fall break. 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: It's actually kind of an awesome time to go anywhere 36 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: in October because it's typically not super hot yet or 37 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: not still super hot, and it's not as crowd it 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: everywhere else, so it should be a lot of fun. 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: So we are on top of that. But just fyi, 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to dive into a couple of different stories. 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: We've been talking about the shutdown and I think we 42 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: have covered that well and encourage you to go subscribe 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: to the podcast. You can listen to hour one, you 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: can listen to hour two. You can do it like 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: my buddy, soccer analyst for Fox Sports, Alexi Wallace does 46 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: at two x speed while you work out, get through 47 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: the whole show really fast that way. Also, my wife 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: that's how she listens to the show when she's driving 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: the boys around. So you can download the podcast, and 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: we love the growth that we are seeing on YouTube 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: and starting in January, cautiously optimistic that we will have 52 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: this all worked out, you'll be able to watch all 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: three hours of the show live. Now. I understand some 54 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: of you say, I don't really need to see you guys, 55 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: and so I'm going to keep listening on radio. I 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: understand some of you are going to say that. But 57 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: for younger people out there, for people who consume media 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: in different ways, we want to be everywhere, and so 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: we are going to be on YouTube and you will 60 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: be able. You can go find clips now and we 61 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: love it and we'd like for you to go subscribe 62 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: at YouTube because that is where frankly, every young man 63 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: spends his time. Now, if my kids can only pick 64 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: one media source, they would pick YouTube, and so we 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: want to be there. We want to be in front 66 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: of everybody. We're on TikTok, We're on Instagram. We are 67 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: where the audience is, whether that's on your radio dial 68 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: or on YouTube. And just watch for us to be 69 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: increasingly more and more places. I live in Nashville. You 70 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: guys know that the deadliest city in America, according to 71 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: some per capita stats, is Memphis, Tennessee. And President Trump 72 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C looked around at the violent crime 73 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: rate and he said something that should be uncontroversial. This 74 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: is unacceptable, and he said, we're going to fix it. 75 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: And even Washington d C is a ninety five percent 76 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Democrats city, a lot of good, reasonable people, including Mayor 77 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser of Washington, d C, have said, boy, Trump, 78 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: bringing more resources to bear in our nation's capital has 79 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: made a big difference. Violent crime has plummeted as there 80 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: has been more enforcement of the law in Washington, d C. 81 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: And President Trump used Washington d C as a test case. 82 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: And he's now been looking around the country and saying, Okay, 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: where else can I go. Maybe it's going to be Baltimore, 84 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: Maybe it's going to be shot Chicago. Maybe it's going 85 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: to be Portland. And to their credit, several red state governors, 86 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: including Louisiana and my home state of Tennessee, Bill Lee, 87 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: the governor here, said hey, Memphis, crime's out of control. 88 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: How about we get some federal resources there. And to 89 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: their credit, a lot of people in Memphis, even Democrats, 90 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: said yeah, we need help. Crime is out of control. 91 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: Role and this is a story of what crime can do. 92 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: It can destroy a community. When I was a kid 93 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: growing up, Nashville and Memphis had a huge rivalry. I've 94 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: told this story, and if you were a Nashville kid 95 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: or you were a Memphis kid, you would kind of 96 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: argue back and forth about which city was the best. 97 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: If you're listening to us in Texas, this is like 98 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: what y'all do in Houston and Dallas. Sometimes cities inside 99 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: of states have rivalries over which one is better. Florida goodness, 100 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: Tampa always feels disrespected compared to Miami. Jacksonville feels disrespected 101 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: compared to everybody. This happens in many different states where 102 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: there are multiple different communities, Raleigh and Charlotte where you 103 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: kind of go back and forth about, hey, where's the 104 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: better place to live. Nobody argues that anymore because so 105 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: many people have left Memphis because they don't feel safe 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: for their family, the neighborhood that I live in right now. 107 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: I have a bunch of friends born and raised in Memphis. 108 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: They got out of Memphis and just said, I've got 109 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: a family, it's not safe there. I've told the story 110 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: about going out to buy a cell phone charger because 111 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 1: I forgot mine, and the front desk clerk saying, be careful, 112 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm a grown man and it's eight o'clock at night 113 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and she's worried for me about going to a gas station. 114 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Shouldn't happen? And Steven Miller been on this program a lot, 115 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: longtime friend of the show. Stephen Miller went down to 116 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: Memphis and he addressed the community of Memphis and all 117 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: of the law enforcement officers there, and he said, Hey, 118 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: we're going to make everyone in this city feel safe. 119 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: Cut eighteen. 120 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: Listen, we are not going to live in an environment 121 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: anywhere where there is a street that belongs to a criminal, 122 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: where there is a neighborhood that belongs to a gang, 123 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: where there is any physical space anywhere that belongs to 124 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: anyone other than the law abiding citizens and families of Memphis. 125 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: The idea that there is a square inch of block 126 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: in this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable. 127 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: This is Memphis, this is the United States of America. 128 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: And all that building is done, it's over, it's finished. 129 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: I love this. I love this. Why have we grown 130 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: used to the idea that we just accept violence? Why? 131 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: One of the things I love about Trump is he 132 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: has a builder mentality, and he looks at things that 133 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: are screwed up and he thinks, why don't we just 134 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: fix this. One of the things that frustrates me about 135 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: politicians is tons of them don't really want to do anything. 136 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: They like the power, They like the fact that they 137 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: get their black car escalades or suburbans to drive them 138 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: all over the place. They like the they can get 139 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: reservations in restaurants, that they can pick up the phone 140 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: and get on the phone with people in industry and 141 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: commerce in America. But they don't actually want to change anything. 142 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: Trump has a builder mentality because he looks at things 143 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: that why would we allow this to happen? Why wouldn't 144 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: we try to fix this? And the example of Washington, 145 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: DC and Memphis is an incredible one. This should be 146 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: happening everywhere. Why do we accept twenty thousand murders a 147 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: year in the United States? Why don't we just say, Okay, 148 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: that's going to happen. We could fix it. There is 149 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: a solution. We do not have to tolerate murder. We 150 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: do not have to allow toxic empathy to keep our 151 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: prisons from being full. And if you wonder what the 152 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: impact is of not putting violent criminals behind bars, their 153 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: stories in every community, every one of y'all out there, 154 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: no matter what city or state you are in, you 155 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: can point to a story like the one I'm just 156 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: about to play. This is hard, but I think you 157 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: need to hear it. This is Stephen Federico. You may 158 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: have heard his story. He was the dad of a 159 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: twenty two year old girl who was brutally murdered by 160 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: a guy who had been arrested. I believe the number 161 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:31,119 Speaker 1: is thirty nine times she begged for her life, college 162 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: girl visiting her girlfriends. I believe this is from South Carolina. 163 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: Team correct me if I'm wrong. I'm gonna make sure 164 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: I get this right in fact before we play it. 165 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: This guy who killed her had been arrested. You're gonna 166 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: hear it from the dad thirty nine times. Twenty five 167 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: of those times he was arrested for a felony. Logan Federico. 168 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: That is the daughter here. The twenty two year old 169 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: was visiting friends at the University of South Carolina on 170 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: May third when this guy broke in and shot her 171 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: to death, stole her credit cards, and went on a 172 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: shopping spree. Thirty nine previous arrest twenty five felonies. Imagine 173 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: if this happened to your daughter, I bet you would 174 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: sound something like this. 175 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: Think about your child coming home from the night out 176 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: with her friends, laying down, going to sleep, feeling somebody 177 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: come in the room and wake them and drag her 178 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 3: out of bed, naked, forced on her knees with her 179 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: hands over her head, begging for her life, begging for 180 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: her hero. Her father me that couldn't be there. She 181 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 3: was five foot three, she weighed one hundred and fifteen pounds. 182 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 3: Bang dead gone. Why because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was 183 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: arrested thirty nine damn times, twenty five felonies, was on 184 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: the street. He should have been in jail for over 185 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 3: one hundred and forty years for all the crimes he committed. 186 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 3: You know how much time he's spent in prison, a 187 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 3: little over six hundred days in ten years. 188 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: He's only thirty years old. 189 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: Her name's Logan. 190 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 3: Federico, not Irena, and you will not forget her. I 191 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 3: promise you. You will be sick and tired of my face 192 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: and my voice until this gets fixed. I will fight 193 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 3: until my last breath for my daughter. You woke up 194 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 3: a beast, and you pissed off the wrong daddy. 195 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it is horrid to hear that. For dads 196 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:08,359 Speaker 1: and moms out there. What are we doing? Thirty nine arrests, 197 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: twenty five felonies, and this twenty two year old girl 198 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: you just heard it, five foot three, one hundred and 199 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: fifteen pounds, visits friends at the University of South Carolina 200 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: and she's dead. Can you imagine getting that call if 201 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: you're the mom or the dad you just heard from 202 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: the dad? Can you imagine if that was your son, 203 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: your daughter away at college, just visiting friends for a 204 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: night out, and a monster who's been arrested thirty nine times, 205 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: twenty five of them for felonies, never spent hardly any time, 206 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: as you heard in prison, over the last decade, kills 207 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: her in cold blood and then goes on a shopping spree. 208 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing that we 209 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: are constantly allowing this to happen. And again, every single 210 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: one of you, in every single state, there is a 211 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: story just like Logan Federico, twenty two year old girl, 212 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: completely innocent, never done anything to anybody, murdered in cold 213 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: blood because we didn't take her killer off the streets 214 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: and put his ass behind bars. I give credit to 215 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: her dad for speaking out. I can't imagine how angry 216 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: you would be. The grief has to be unimaginable, but 217 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: then it has to turn into anger, because it's not 218 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: just some random tragedy. That's when you're filled with grief. 219 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: Your kids driving, something awful happens, They turn off the road, 220 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: next thing you know, they've died in a car accident. 221 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: That's grief. That's awful. This is something much worse than 222 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: That's something much worse, and I think illustrative of a 223 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: profound sickness that we've allowed to take over the country. 224 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: We care way more about making sure that criminals aren't 225 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: held responsible for their jobs than we do protecting the 226 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: innocent people. Of this country and it has to end. 227 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: And I see it directly tied in with what Stephen 228 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Miller just said in Memphis. I see it with what 229 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: President Trump is doing in Washington, d C. Violent crime 230 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: being tolerated is a choice, and we should not make 231 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: the choice to tolerate it. We should end it. And 232 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: the way we end it is by putting the people 233 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: that are actually violent criminals in prison for the rest 234 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: of their life and throwing away the keys. I don't 235 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: know what the number should be, but it's sure as 236 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: hell ain't twenty five felony arrest. That guy should have 237 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: never been out on the streets to take this guy's 238 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: daughter should never been able to happen. It's a failure. 239 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: It's profound. We had an honest media all of these stories. 240 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: Everyone involved in these cases would end up losing their jobs. 241 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: You shouldn't be able to be a da if this happens. 242 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: You should be able to be a judge. If this happens, 243 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: your jobs too. There should be consequences for you. This 244 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: young girl and so many others like her are dying 245 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: in vain right now because we have incompetent people who 246 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: should be trying to protect the innocent and are not. 247 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: And I think, like many of you, I'm just completely 248 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: fed up with it. But I think we need to 249 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: share these stories. And so I give credit to Stephen 250 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: Federico for speaking out so passionately there and striking so 251 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: many of you as he did in the process, hopefully 252 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: striking many of you and waking up a lot of 253 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: people out there that are failing the young people of 254 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: this country. Look, you just heard how awful crime is. 255 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: You probably want as much as you can inside of 256 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: your home to help protect you, to help protect your kids. Unfortunately, 257 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: they got jobs, they're off to college, they're out driving 258 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: around communities, they're out after dark, unfortunately, when may not 259 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: be safe.

Maybe you're tall like Jesse at least. 338 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: All right, we've got a lot of different people like 339 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: I said, that want to way in. And now from 340 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: that we go back to the very serious call that 341 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: we were just having with Tom in Memphis, who actually 342 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: was telling us about the crime that he's experienced. And Tom, 343 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: before you get back into your story about this old 344 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: Miss situation, what I hear from so many people, and 345 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't think this is just a Memphis story, but 346 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: in particular in Memphis, but I think many of you 347 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: out there, in the different communities in which you live, 348 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: have experienced this. You said your neighborhood you felt safe. 349 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: What I hear from people who have eventually left Memphis 350 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: is it got to the point where no neighborhood felt safe, 351 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: where anything could happen. And you're saying this old Miss 352 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: football player, he died on your front lawn. 353 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 6: Well, he was shot at my front lawn and down 354 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 6: the street four others were shot, and two bullets came 355 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 6: in knocked the lamps off the you know, the table 356 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 6: behind my couch where I was sitting. I missed bullets 357 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 6: by literally two or three feet. My wife and I 358 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 6: just walked down that hallway where the bullets came through. 359 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 6: And yes, I live in a very nice neighborhood. The 360 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 6: problem is is that you don't care. And I've lived 361 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 6: in Memphis almost my entire life. I went to the 362 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 6: University of Tennessee. But I've had family. I have three 363 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 6: kids that are grown, live in Memphis, have jobs and careers, 364 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 6: and I'm not moving because my family's here. But you 365 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 6: do not hear the people that need to stand up, 366 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 6: the community leader standing up and saying you know what 367 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 6: is going on in the black community. When I look 368 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 6: out my dining room window and I look out and 369 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 6: it looks like there is a war outside with people 370 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 6: running in front of my dining room window with AK 371 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,959 Speaker 6: forty sevens and AR fifteens and screaming and yelling at 372 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 6: each other, shooting bullets in a neighborhood. These are five six, 373 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 6: one hundred thousand up to a million dollar you know 374 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 6: homes in this neighborhood. We lived there for twenty years, 375 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 6: never had any problems. But where are the leaders in 376 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 6: the Memphis area that that are talking to the kids 377 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 6: and these young people about You don't go to a 378 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 6: pool party with AK forty sevens and AR fifteen's and 379 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 6: expect that that is going to solve something. I mean 380 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 6: we I mean Trump can send the National Guard, and 381 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 6: yes it might cool things off for a bit, but 382 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 6: where are those in the black community that are You 383 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 6: don't hear it. You do not hear them going into 384 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 6: the schools talking to these kids about how to solve issues. 385 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 6: And I think that it's it's you know, single family homes, 386 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 6: and it's not poverty, it's morals. It's somebody coming in. 387 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 6: I mean I went to a private school. I got 388 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 6: beat in high school with you know solved and half 389 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 6: baseball bats, and I never did the thing, you know, 390 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 6: for just not bringing my pe uniform. I mean, you 391 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 6: can't touch these kids when they come to school and 392 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 6: they're disrespectful to the teachers or to themselves nobody. I mean, 393 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 6: if I was part of the black community, I'm a 394 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 6: white guy, but if I was part of that community. 395 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 6: I would be out talking to these kids and these 396 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 6: youngsters and saying, this is how we need to solve issues, 397 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 6: not bring guns. 398 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: Has got how much worse? Sorry to cut you off, 399 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,239 Speaker 1: but you've lived to Memphis your whole life, basically? How 400 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: much worse has it gotten? Do you remember a point 401 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: in time? I mean you're talking about a neighborhood where 402 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: traditionally you said you felt safe. Do you remember a 403 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: point in time because this is what I've heard people 404 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: say where I mean, there's bullets legitimately coming into your home. 405 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: You're fortunate, We're glad you and your wife are safe, 406 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: but there is was there a point in time? Has 407 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: it accelerated since twenty twenty? When did you look around 408 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: and say, boy, this is not even the Memphis that 409 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: I grew. 410 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 6: Up in, probably about ten years ago. And like I said, 411 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 6: in the last ten years, I've had three three friends 412 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 6: that if you lost a wife, a husband, or a 413 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 6: child for sense, I mean, those are personal friends that 414 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 6: I know that I grew up with, kids, went to 415 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 6: my school at houses that I had friends with. You 416 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 6: know that are friends with for you know, Saint Saint Jude, 417 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 6: you know event and a guy gets murdered for wallet. 418 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 6: I mean, you know so I think in the longs. 419 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 6: But the problem is is you don't have the community 420 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 6: leaders talking in the schools, out in the public. Where 421 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 6: are they when this when this happened, you know, in 422 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 6: my front yard? Where where was the conversation? Where are 423 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 6: people saying this is not how you solve issues. There's 424 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 6: nobody is talking in the black community to their own people. 425 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 6: And I have neighbors that were horrified, that are black 426 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 6: in my community, you know, in my neighborhood, and they're 427 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 6: saying the same thing. Where is where are our leaders 428 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 6: talking to these young kids in the schools that don't 429 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 6: have fathers or you know, they don't have fathers and 430 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 6: the home to help these kids understand how to you know, 431 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 6: negotiate life without violence? Because it's an epidemic. 432 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. It is an epidemic. And 433 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: again it's a willingness to accept a certain level of violence. 434 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: That's where the country is right, That's what democrats are 435 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: basically arguing, Well, we have to be willing to accept 436 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: twenty thousand plus murders a year should occur because we're 437 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: not willing to do what's necessary to actually crack down 438 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: and limit violent crime in a significant way. Jonathan, in Memphis, 439 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: you own a roofing company. What is it like? What 440 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: do you see? 441 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 7: Hey, Clay, good to talk to you again. So, yeah, 442 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 7: I do own a roofing company, and I'm down and 443 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 7: probably some of the worst areas of Memphis every single day. 444 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 7: We're talking Frasier, Orange Mound, Hickory Hill, And not only 445 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 7: is the crime bad, but the living conditions are just atrocious. 446 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 7: I go to houses with no running water, you know, 447 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 7: no central air, and I can't tell you how many 448 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 7: times I've been on a roof and pulled out ar 449 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 7: fifteen bullets. I pulled them out of churches, residential houses, 450 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 7: and on the siding as well. There was actually this 451 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 7: one house where it was brick and somebody fired the 452 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 7: night before and behind that brick is a two year 453 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 7: old girl in a crib. So you know it's there 454 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 7: are so many great people down here, and they do 455 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 7: talk about when I'm with them, I do talk about 456 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 7: They do talk about the crime. But like the Gentleman 457 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 7: was saying before, nobody's offering solutions, I guess, or speaking 458 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 7: out about it. 459 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: I really feel like, do you feel like the surge 460 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: is going to have an impact. Are you optimistic that 461 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: what is being done by the federal government, state National 462 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: Guard resources, all of that being mobilized, are you optimistic 463 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: it's going to make a difference. 464 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 7: Well, uh, we did have the We had one hundred 465 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 7: state troopers coming here on two forty. So if you 466 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 7: ever driven on to forty, that is pretty crazy. I 467 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 7: seem like ten cars pulled under. But in respects to 468 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 7: the National Guard, yes, I'm glad that they're coming. The 469 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 7: only thing I'm worried about is what do we do 470 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 7: when they leave? You know, the guys will, you know, 471 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 7: try to control the prime and I'm not sure exactly 472 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 7: what all they would be doing, but but yeah, I 473 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 7: mean this, you'd be shocked if you went to some 474 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 7: of these areas that I go to. And I'm not 475 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 7: trying to say I'm some kind of saint, but a 476 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 7: lot of roofers won't go there, but I'll go there 477 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 7: because there's business to be had and people still need 478 00:27:54,600 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 7: a root. And another sad thing is people have houses 479 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 7: that are dilapidated but they don't have the money to 480 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 7: fix them, and that's just heartbreaking. I try to help 481 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 7: people out as much as I can, but I just 482 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 7: see it getting worse and worse. And the guy said 483 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 7: before ten years, I'd say in the last five years, 484 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 7: it's really really gotten bad. And over there at Bartlett 485 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 7: they have bars on the windows and stores. Before COVID 486 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 7: they didn't have that. And I can't tell you how 487 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 7: many times somebody has told me to be safe. This 488 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 7: is like a daily thing. Yeah, you know, I'll leave 489 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 7: the house, be safe, be safe, you know, And I'm like, 490 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 7: I'll try to be so Yeah. I mean, it's just 491 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 7: a really sad situation. And I hope the guard can 492 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 7: do something, but I'm just thinking, what do they do 493 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 7: after they leave? 494 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, thank you for the calls. Thank you guys 495 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: for the calls. Look, we have at times the number 496 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: one radio show in Memphis, and so I appreciate from 497 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: hearing from all of you in Memphis.

A lot of you are 503 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: listening every day and again, I think there's a lot 504 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: of demand from large segments of the population to say, hey, 505 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: let's be honest, how many people do you think they 506 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: would need to arrest in order for Memphis to be 507 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: seventy five percent safer? Three thousand people, two thousand, fifteen hundred. 508 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know the exact number, but we're 509 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: talking about a city with over a million people in 510 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: this surrounding community. Maybe it's five thousand. My point is 511 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: it's a small pinprick of the actual city that is 512 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: being taken over by that criminal element. And so the 513 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: solution here is not revolutionary. It's go to the neighborhoods 514 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: with the highest rates of violent crime and get the 515 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: bad guys and put them behind bars, and keep doing it, 516 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: and keep doing it until, as Stephen Miller said, you 517 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: can feel comfortable walking down the street in these communities. 518 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: And maybe that means you have to lock up five 519 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: thousand people, And I get, hey, that's tough, but you 520 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: know what, why would you let a few thousand bad 521 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: apples spoil what should otherwise be a splendid city tolerating criminals? 522 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: It should be unacceptable, And again, this is what being 523 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: concerned about. Oh, we're being too mean to criminals, leads 524 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: to I mean that guy, I mean so many of 525 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: you are reacting to Stephen Federico the dad. Now that 526 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: was a story out of South Carolina, but you just 527 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: heard a story out of Memphis. And we could open 528 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: up phone lines and I could say, Hey, Birmingham, tell 529 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: me what you see. Hey, Louisville, tell me what you see. Hey, Milwaukee, 530 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: tell me what you see. Hey, Roley, tell me what 531 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: you see. Sacramento, San Diego, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Houston, Nashville, 532 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: where I am, every single one of you. If we 533 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: open up phone lines could say hey, I want you 534 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: to tell me the worst violent act that you've seen 535 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 1: or has happened to one of your friends or family, 536 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: and all of you would have stories. Why Why are 537 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: we tolerating this? We shouldn't. Time for tolerance is over. 538 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: Let's go after violent crime.

We start off 567 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: the show talking about how Gallup had a poll out 568 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: saying that there was a record low of approval for 569 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: overall overall media and there were a ton of reactions. 570 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: Let me see how many of these I can hit 571 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: Ken in New York City w R Radio fire Away. 572 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 6: Hey, Clay, I like Breadbear on Fox News, only none 573 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 6: of the others.

I think they 580 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: want to give Bobby Petrino a chance, he's the interim coach, 581 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: and then I think they will either go younger, in 582 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: which case there are a lot of guys out there, 583 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: or I think they may roll the dice and give 584 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: believe it or not.
