1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Monday edition of the program. Congratulations to the Eagles and 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs advancing to the Super Bowl. Novak Djokovic 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: will probably talk about that at some point wins the 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: Australian Open in a victory for everyone who has refused 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: to get the COVID shots because it is worthless, but 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: good news to start on Monday, there were significantly no 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: riots of consequence in the wake of the Tyree Nichols 10 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: video release around six pm Central on Friday afternoon evening 11 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: across the country. I know there were some small scattered 12 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: flare ups, but by and large everything remained for the 13 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: most part peaceful, and that is a very good thing, 14 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: because the fear was that once more the summer of 15 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty rioting would unspool across the nation. Now, Buck, 16 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: what I would argue here is that's because ultimately, Black 17 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: Lives Matter only gets angry when black lives are impacted 18 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: and white people are involved in those lives being taken, 19 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: and therefore it's really not black lives matter, it's black 20 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: lives matter. In the parenthetical when white people are involved 21 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: in black death. Because when the video came out, this 22 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: video to me was far worse and the videos, I 23 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: should say, of these five police officers in Memphis, what 24 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: they did to Tyree Nichols was far worse to me 25 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: than and what happened to George Floyd on video. And 26 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: if you consider that, while you might be upset about 27 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: George Floyd's interaction with the police and the way it 28 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: went and believe it was criminal, as it has been 29 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: proven to be, there was a reason police were called 30 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: because George Floyd was trying to pass a counterfeit bill 31 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: and he was also on drugs, so police work specifically 32 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: requested in this situation with Tyree Nichols. There does not 33 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: seem to have been buck any reason for the initial 34 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: police stop to have taken place, and all of the 35 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: violence that ensued since, to me is far worse than 36 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: what we saw happened to George Floyd. Yet, and I 37 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: would submit this is the reason. Because it was five 38 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: black police officers, there was virtually no riot. The media 39 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: has tried to argue and will play see in MSNBC 40 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: the like I tried to argue, Oh, this is still 41 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: an example of white supremacy, but most people just simply 42 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: don't believe it. And so it's a positive sign that 43 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: there was no rioting, pillaging, looting, so to speak. Buck. 44 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: But also this just further epitomizes because the video was 45 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: as bad or worse than I anticipated it was going 46 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: to be that really they can only mobilize when there 47 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: are white people that are involved in misbehavior or potential 48 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: criminal allegations. I think we should have the discussion about 49 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: police and policing now that they always say, now is 50 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: the time for reform or now is the time to 51 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: do something about law enforcement. Let's look at the reality 52 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: of law enforcement in Memphis right now, Let's understand what's 53 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: actually going on. As we said last Friday, before the 54 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: video was out, before we had seen it, because the 55 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: show ended prior to the release, they wanted to get 56 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: rid of this a scorpion that was the initial call. 57 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: So they're focusing in on an anti violent crime unit 58 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: in the Memphis PD. What's the reality of the Memphis 59 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: Police Department in recent years. It has a very hard 60 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: time getting people to sign up to want to be 61 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: cops in Memphis. Yeah, so hard that in fact, the 62 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Memphis Police Department in a less brutality, more diversity initiative, 63 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: by the way, decided that they were going to change 64 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: standards dramatically for who could be a police officer in Memphis. 65 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: They even were willing to give felony waivers. That has 66 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: been confirmed. New York posts have this up felony waivers 67 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: four cops. Oh you're connected of a felony. Well, we 68 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: really need cops in Memphis right now because nobody wants 69 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: to sign up for this. I mean they were They 70 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: were giving fifteen thousand dollars bonus up front. They waived 71 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: that you had to have even an associate's degree if 72 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: you just had a few years of work experience. They're 73 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: desperate for cops. Why are they desperate for cops in 74 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: a city like Memphis. Well, let's take a moment, shall we. 75 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: If you're a law enforcement officer in the last few 76 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: years in this country in a high crime area where 77 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: a lot of the crime is disproportionately committed by minorities. 78 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: If you're in that community, do you feel like you're 79 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: going to be backed up when things get rough as 80 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: a law enforcement officer, No, you don't, So very few 81 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: people will go up to sign up. The kind of 82 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: people that you want to sign up aren't doing it, 83 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: and so what you have is a lowering of standards. 84 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: And then a tragic incident like this occurs and they say, 85 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: you know what we should do. Let's ban more police units. 86 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: Let's blame the cops even more, instead of looking at 87 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: these cops did something bad. What's going on structurally within 88 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: the police department overall? I mean to talk about a 89 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: difference in training. Okay, here's one thing I very noticeable, Clay. 90 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people pointed this out. I think they 91 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: said there were seventy one commands given over the course 92 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: of the video. I wrote twenty seventeen about an incident 93 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: in Mesa, Arizona, with a man named Daniel Shaver. Daniel. 94 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: This was all on video, and I remember I was 95 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: very upset by this case because a white cop with 96 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: a rifle, in my opinion, executed a guy in obvious 97 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: video is up for people who have not seen it, 98 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: it's very difficult to watch. I mean, this guy is 99 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: in the white the victim here was white. The cop 100 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: was was charged with murder. A jury inexplicably in my mind, 101 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: got the cop off. But because the whole thing hinged 102 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: on whether or not Daniel Shaver was complying. Well, he 103 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: first of all, he did absolutely nothing wrong that he 104 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: they he had a BB gun in his in his 105 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,559 Speaker 1: hotel room, which he was legally allowed to have. Someone 106 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: called the cops. They ran into the cops came into 107 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: the hallway. The guy who shot him had etched into 108 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: his ar fifteen. You know, like you know you're dead 109 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: or you're gonna die. I mean, the guy's not so, 110 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: but you want to be a police officer, obviously, And 111 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: he starts barking commands like you know, put your put 112 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: your hands behind your head, put your put your feet together, 113 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: crawled toward me, keep your head. I mean, if you 114 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: didn't have a gun pointed at you, you wouldn't be all. 115 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: You wouldn't be able to follow. What are you talking 116 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: about the guys? Yeah, but then it's oh, he's not 117 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: obeying commands and he just he just just just shoots 118 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: the guy. I mean it's an execution. It's on video. 119 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: But he's white and the victims white. A clay was 120 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: there national outrage about it? I wrote about it at 121 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: the Hill dot Com at the time. The story went viral, 122 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: but was there a big conversation about it. Seen it No, no, 123 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: because there wasn't a racial angle. Well, guess what looking 124 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: at commands that police officers gave him. The training they're 125 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: in might actually be a really useful thing, might have 126 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: actually prevented some tragic incidents later on, but didn't get 127 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: the attention it needed. So if you want to talk 128 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: about training right now, yeah, what are the protocols? I 129 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: mean when when they're telling Tyree Nichols, for example, comply 130 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: and he is it, he's trying to comply. Cops need 131 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: to know the second that someone is complying and you're 132 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: shouting complying and hitting him, you are engaging in police brutality. 133 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: But you know that. I have never even heard the 134 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: comply discussion at the national level about meaning how cops 135 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: should be trained to escalate through that process and not 136 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: say you're not doing that. I want so now I'm 137 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: going to beat you or even shoot you. But instead 138 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: it's always get rid of the unit. It's racism. The 139 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: usual thing I would love to hear from cops out 140 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: there who listened to us, and we have a ton 141 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: of those listeners who have watched this video and what 142 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 1: they thought about what they saw eight hundred two A 143 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: two two eight A two buck. Over half of the 144 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: Memphis Police force is black. All five of these officers 145 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: that were charged with murder are black. Yet there has 146 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: been a desperate attempt to try to hie this to 147 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: white supremacy, which just hasn't worked. And I mean it's 148 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: gone across the board. I mean, we've got audio here 149 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: from a couple of these different guys that I thought 150 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: would make sense. But the thing that I would say 151 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: for all of you out there to think about is 152 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: we've lost on the left wing. They have lost the 153 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: ability to analyze individual decisions and hold individuals responsible for 154 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: the choices that they make. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, whoever 155 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: you are. Ultimately, we are all responsible for our own 156 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: individual decisions. And Eric Adams says, who's a former police captain, 157 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: says racism was involved in the beating of Tyree Nichols 158 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: to death. Let's play cut four. Chief C. J. Davis one. 159 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: In my interview with her, she said that all the 160 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: officers being black, it takes race off the table. Do 161 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: you agree with that? Don't? I think that I understand 162 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: what the chief is saying, and I think she really 163 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: handled this situation in a very professional way. She moved swiftly. 164 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: She assured that those officers are removed from the department. 165 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: She took all the necessary steps. But I think race 166 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: is still on the table. When a culture of policing 167 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: historically has treated those from different groups differently, even when 168 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: the individuals are from that same group, that coachure can 169 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: still exists, and we have to zero in on it, 170 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: being honest about it and making sure that we properly 171 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: trained police for the realities of the cities that they 172 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: are policing in. Okay. So Eric Adams wants to run 173 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: for president potentially in twenty twenty four, and he's arguing 174 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: that race is involved in this case. When you hear that, Baca, 175 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: what do you think his analysis is nonsense? His analysis 176 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: is what the left and the Democrats want to hear 177 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: in this moment. Look, you and I expected the video 178 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: to show police brutality, and it did. It was police brutality. 179 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: No one isn't quarter of this, No one supports this. 180 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: It should be condemned, it should be prosecuted. It makes 181 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: cops jobs harder. But cops, there's hundreds, I think there's 182 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand plus sworn law enforcement officers in this country. 183 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: There are going to be a handful within that, you know, 184 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: almost a million who are bad people, who do bad things, 185 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: or who cross the line, or who in a moment 186 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: of rage or whatever, have a failing that is unacceptable 187 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: and needs to be criminally prosecuted. And I just think that, 188 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, when they say things like this, when they 189 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: say things like this, I just sent to Ali. I mean, 190 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: I know it's an old it's an older story, but 191 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: I mentioned this. Well, we'll put it up at clainbuck 192 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: dot com a link to the video and the analysis 193 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: I did at the time. This is twenty seventeen, now 194 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: going back six years, Clay of the Daniel Shaver incident. 195 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: Every time something like this happens and it happens to 196 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: be involving a black man, does not mean that it 197 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: is racism. This also happens to non black individuals in 198 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: this country. Daniel Shaver was one of them that I 199 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: would argue, you know that the Daniel Shaver incident was 200 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: as bad as this. Actually, I you know, it's it's 201 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: both individuals died, but Daniel Shaver, I mean, there was 202 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: there was no um you know, there were it was 203 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: lethal force used in an in an incident where there 204 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: absolutely should not have been I'm not this is not 205 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: what about ism, it's just contextualization of this stuff happens. 206 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,479 Speaker 1: And to always make it about race when there's obviously 207 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: no clear correlation, there's no clear race angle does a 208 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: disservice to the conversation we're supposed to have about how 209 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: one what does justice look like for his family? And 210 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: two what can we do now? Seventy five percent of 211 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: people who are shot by police are white, Asian or Hispanic. 212 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: Sevent you never hear about any of those incidents. By 213 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: the way, most people who are shot by police are 214 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: violent felons who are engaged in violent behavior. But sometimes 215 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: police fail. You know that they've buried it. But there 216 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: was a study done by a Harvard economist a few 217 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: years back about who is more likely in when they 218 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: control for the kind of incident you're talking about, is 219 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: it more likely that cops will shoot a white individual 220 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: or a black individual in a police involved incident with 221 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: similar circumstances, And the economists found that it was clear 222 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: that the cops are actually more likely as you shoot 223 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: a white individual. And the thesis was because they know 224 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: if they shoot an individual who's black, and the circumstances 225 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: are murky at all, or it's a close call at all, 226 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: their life is ruined. They may go to prison the 227 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: rest of their lives. That's right, it's a great study. 228 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: I read that study as well. We'll talk take your calls, 229 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: continue to discuss Clay and Buck here eight d two 230 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: two two eight eight two. We gotta tell you, look, 231 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: how many of you are really that comfortable that you're 232 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: always going to be able to go to the grocery 233 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: store and buy what you need. Well, if you need 234 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: a baby formula, if you needed eggs, if you need 235 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: a toilet paper. Over the past couple of years, you've 236 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: probably been into the grocery store and not being able 237 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: to find what you want. Why not go ahead and 238 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: provide food insurance for your family. You probably got health insurance, hopefully, 239 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: you probably got car insurance, hopefully, probably got home insurance, 240 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: hopefully maybe life insurance. All those things you're doing to 241 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: try to provide for safety and security of your family. 242 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: But you have food insurance.

Go to my Patriot Supply dot com. 257 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: Sanity in an insane world, the Clay Travis and Buck 258 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: Sexton show No Yes, sir, say that on my I 259 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: don't know i'd So that was President Biden speaking to 260 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: Tyree Nichols's parents, And it is true Biden has suffered 261 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: a lot of personal tragedy. But I have to just 262 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: point out once again that he is in a habit 263 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: and in more than one instance, that on more than 264 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: one occasion of of lying about his personal tragedy, Biden's 265 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: personal tragedy for political gain or for some connection. He 266 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: keeps saying I lost my son in a war a 267 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: consequence of the war. Biden is not a gold star father. 268 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: Biden did not lose his son in a war. His 269 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: son Boat tragically died of cancer. It is very sad, 270 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: it is tragic, and it is a tremendous loss, and 271 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: that is obviously the case. But Claire that the it 272 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: just strikes me as bizarre. I mean, even Biden caught 273 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: himself and said a consequence of the war in wreck, 274 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: which is also by the way, not that's just some 275 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: theory that he I mean, there's no actual science to 276 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: prove that connection whatsoever. You just thinking, in that moment, 277 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, Ken Biden, that, in that deeply human moment 278 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: of connecting with another family after the loss of their son, 279 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: why does he feel the need to embellish or tell 280 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: this story once again that everyone says is just not true. 281 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: It's a great question, and it's the same story that 282 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: is also tragic associated with his wife and daughter's death 283 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: when he got photographed being sworn in in their in 284 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: their hospital room, and the story is tragic enough. If 285 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: you're a parent and you lose a child to cancer. 286 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: I do think that Biden could talk to other parents 287 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: about grief and loss and the impact of that upon them. 288 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: But he fills the need constantly to spread lies about 289 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: where and how his son died, and it's uncomfortable, and 290 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: even when he's pointed out to be doing it, he 291 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: continues to do it time after time. I just think 292 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: Biden lies. He lies so much that he barely even notices, 293 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: and even in a moment of the most profound human connection, 294 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: he still feels the need to lie, which I just 295 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: think it's it's a compulsion with him at this point, 296 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: my friends, the tools and resources now available to gun 297 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: owners to keep your skills sharp are ever improving.

We are breaking down the 313 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: weekend that was. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 314 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: It's about to take a bunch of calls from police 315 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: officers who wanted to weigh in based on what they 316 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: based on what they saw from those videos. Also worth noting, 317 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: I want to play this cut for you. They're trying 318 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: to run back the defund the police slogan, even though 319 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: it has been roundly criticized, and Democrats are now trying 320 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: to say, well, we never really said we wanted to 321 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: defund the police. Hassan, how do you pronounce his name? 322 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: Meti Hassan. Meti Hassan on MSNBC says he's tired of 323 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: Democrats running away from talk of abolishing and defunding the 324 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: police here he is. You knew what was going to happen. Listen, 325 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: the issue here is plenty of people pointed out, it's 326 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: not black versus white, it's blue versus the rest of us, 327 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: Which is why this whole reform nonsense from Democrats is 328 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: so tiring and so dishonest. You can't reform this stuff 329 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: with body cameras or diversifying the police, as we just 330 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: saw in Memphis. That doesn't solve the problem either. Now Democrats, 331 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: of course want to run away from talk of abolishing 332 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: the police or even defunding the police. That's way too radical, 333 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: way too out there. But consider this. The Memphis Police 334 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: Department's response to all this controversy and camera footage on 335 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: Saturday was to announce that it was disbanding the specialized 336 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: police unit whose officers inflicted that brutal assault on Tyren Nichols, 337 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: the so called Scorpion Unit. Yeah, they defunded and abolished it. True, 338 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: they did do that. And did did you hear what 339 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: he's pushing for? Though? I mean, this is what the 340 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 1: left really wants. Yeah, No, that's abolition of police. Folks. 341 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: These people are lunatics. Just understand that the people that 342 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: are making the most noise and the left about this. 343 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: First of all, they never line up. Okay, what is 344 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: the more urgent problem in this nation right now? To 345 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: deal with? What is the more the more systemic problem 346 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: in this nation right now? The massive increase in homicides 347 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: over the last three years, over and already depending on 348 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: the country, you're comparing us to pretty high homicide rate. 349 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: I'm a homicide rate or the very fortunately rare but 350 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: still gut wrenching an awful instance of lethal police brutality 351 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: that occurs a few times a year, one of They're both, 352 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: They're both problems. I'm just one of them. Thousands of 353 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: people are dying, Yes, thousands and thousands of people are dying. 354 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: Children are dying, They're being shot in the crossfire. So 355 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: to treat all law enforcement like I mean, this guy's 356 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: basically saying, oh, look at these cops. They were you know, 357 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: they're they're terrible. They brutalized tier Nichols, which is true. 358 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 1: Let's get rid of all cops, abolished police. That just 359 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: means more people are gonna die, no doubt. You use 360 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: a viral anecdote to demand a prescription that is going 361 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: to lead to a far worse outcome than what we've 362 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: already had now a lot of cops. But I think 363 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: it's important to play that cut because almost immediately as 364 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: crime rates skyrocketed in the wake of the defund the 365 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: police movement, what ended up happening was Democrats said, oh, 366 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: we never ever called for defund the police, and we 367 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: brought you the receipts. We've played them all saying it, 368 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: but it all. We took one viral police incident of 369 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: misbehavior for that entire argument of defund the police and 370 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: taking the next step of abolished police to come back. 371 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: Jason and Texas, you're a police officer, appreciate you listening. 372 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: What did you think when you saw the video of 373 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: the Memphis cops and of Tyree Nichols. Basically, you can 374 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: hear me right, yeah, we got you. Okay. Basically, I'm 375 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: a twenty year veteran and I've been in Texas all 376 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: my life, and I can tell you right now, over 377 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: the twenty years of my career, law enforcement has changed 378 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: along with the environment. Okay, we used to be respected 379 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: and all this other good stuff, but we really didn't 380 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: have to do as much to deter crime because people 381 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: didn't acting like a normal cop. I mean, we're trained 382 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: constantly to learn how to just uh restrain people without 383 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: throwing blows or fighting like they do. You know what 384 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, we're supposed to be more professional 385 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: than that, and we have techniques, Caryl mcgauge, jiu, jitsu, 386 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: you name it. Think when you saw police officers literally 387 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: holding the guy up to take shots, punches, I mean, 388 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 1: in the in the feed, I mean, it felt like 389 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: a gangland style hit. Very it looked like a gang 390 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: beat down. They kicked him in the face when he 391 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: was on the ground. Detis. I've talked to about this 392 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: because we all look at it and we criticize, you know, 393 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: but we usually try and hold out, you know, our 394 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: opinions until we see everything. Well, when I saw everything, 395 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: I immediately was like, well, Okay, these guys have been 396 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: doing this for a while and nobody's said anything to him, 397 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: nobody's done anything to punish him for it. The problem 398 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: I see now is that I guarantee you're going to 399 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: have all kinds of complaints come out of the Woodward 400 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: now that have been before, and if they haven't been 401 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: addressed in the past, some heads are going to turn 402 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, these guys were not trained like cops 403 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: usually are. Well, if they weren't trained, they weren't using 404 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: their training. But yeah, look it was it was thank 405 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: you for calling in, Thank you for calling in. It's 406 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: this is police brutality. That is what we saw on 407 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: the video. I haven't seen anyone. I haven't seen, honestly 408 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: a single person try to make a case about anything 409 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: other than that. This is clearly cops who crossed the line. Um. 410 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: I mentioned the Daniel Shaver case. There was also there's 411 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: the case where the officers shot a man running away 412 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: in the back. It was in daylight on video, and 413 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: I believe it was South Carolina that was an officer. 414 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: The line that was that officer went away from murderer 415 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: as he should have. It does happen. It's very rare, though, 416 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: and one of the ways that we get bad outcomes 417 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: in terms of policy and in terms of takeaways clay 418 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: from all this is that there is a distortion, an 419 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: intentional distortion that the left engages. And let's take an 420 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: example of this. If someone finds a noose on a 421 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: college campus, right just to go to a different kind 422 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: of incident, all of a sudden, there's there's three hundred 423 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: and fifty million people, give or take in this country, 424 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty million. We're all supposed to have 425 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: a conversation about how racist America is. One noose in 426 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: one place, the whole country is racist. And even when 427 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: it sometimes often is the case in college campus, oh, 428 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: a person who put the noose there actually is himself 429 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: a minority and was trying to raise awareness, so it 430 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: wasn't even a hate crime. It was a fake hate crime. 431 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: We're still supposed to have the conversation about how racist 432 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: the country is. And you say, we'll hold on a second. 433 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: Is that something that occurs frequently? Is that something that 434 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: occurs at a scale where we think that that's the 435 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: of course not, it's incredibly rare, But we're supposed to 436 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: treat the incredibly rare like it's actually quite common, so 437 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: that certain people in the country can get their way 438 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: and have power. The left, the Democrats, they do this 439 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: all the time, even when it's not remotely race related. 440 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: To Bubba Wallace pull rope in Nascar. Remember the guy 441 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: in California I think it was, who had a rope 442 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: on it, like in a noose that he was using 443 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: as a workout tool in a public park. I mean, 444 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,959 Speaker 1: even when these things, as you said, are not remotely 445 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: related to race at all. They're supposed to all lecture 446 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: us about the importance of having the conversation anyway, but 447 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: it's supposed to also show us, Oh, look at how 448 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: common this is. Look at what's going on in America today, 449 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 1: and ever sits there and says, this isn't going on, 450 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: This isn't a common thing at all. Actually, one of 451 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: the fastest ways to ruin your life in this country, 452 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: one of the fastest ways, the fasted probably probably, I mean, 453 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, short of like you know so much building, yeah, 454 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: is to do something that is actually truly racist. One 455 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: of the fastest ways to destroy your reputation, make you unhirable, 456 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: get you kicked out of school, fired from your job. 457 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: That is actually the country we live in. And yet 458 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: if you watch MSNBC, everything is racist, Clay, the FED 459 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: raising interest rates is Ray. Find me something that they 460 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: talk about and I'll show you MSNBC making it a 461 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: racial incident or racial implications of some kind. Mel In North, Caroline, 462 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: a retired cop, What did you see? Okay, how's it going? 463 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: Appreciate your calling Um, you know, after looking at all 464 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: these things since I quipped, which was back in the 465 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: mid eighties and I'm sixty three now, Like the previous 466 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: colors said, there's been a lot of changes in the 467 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: atmosphere of the people, and there's obviously some a lot 468 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: of variances within the training police officers from one city 469 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: to one state to another. So it's almost come to 470 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: my mind. And I'm not in that category to abolished police, 471 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: because I'm very lawful incline, but at the same token, 472 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: to have consistency and continuity across the board no matter 473 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: what states you live in. It's almost to the point 474 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: that I think they do need to do some type 475 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: of restructuring and maybe put the National Guard in charge 476 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 1: in every single town and what it used to be 477 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: or what is currently would then become the police department. 478 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: That's kind of like the the fill ins or the 479 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: what do you call it, like um volunteer uh EMTs. 480 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: They would be volunteer police people that would be available 481 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: a ton call or something. But the National Guard, I 482 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: just think would would be consistently trained no matter what 483 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: states you're in. They know how to handle the stream 484 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: situations and suggesting for day to day to day to 485 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: day police. We don't want the military doing day to 486 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: day policing. That's not gonna That's not a solution here. Yeah, 487 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: I think it's a bad solution. Yeah, I mean, I 488 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: appreciate the call respectfully. That's you know, because ultimately you're 489 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: just transferring the responsibilities in the force. This is why 490 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: when AOC, remember AOC was saying abolish ICE, and then 491 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: everyone would say, well, that's complete, Like what do you 492 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: want to abolish all integration laws? They said, no, We're 493 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: gonna build a new thing that's not ICE that will 494 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: do all the same things that ICE does. And you say, okay, 495 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: well that's not going to help anything. In fact, what 496 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: the government usually does is just create the new thing 497 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: to duplicate the mission and put more resources into it overall, 498 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: and then you just have even more efficient and inefficient 499 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: and expensive bureaucracy with the same problems. John in New 500 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: York quickly here, you're a retired police chief. What did 501 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: you think, Oh, how would you have responded if this 502 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: had been on your force and you had seen video 503 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: like this. I've hired a lot of cops and I've 504 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: fired cops, and i gotta tell you I saw them. 505 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: We're saying nothing from their academy training. The other thing 506 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: most people don't know is most academies I've been to, UM, 507 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, I worked at the county, state, and federal level, 508 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: and I went to three academies, and I could tell 509 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: you most academies mirror Department of Justice guidelines. So they 510 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: were taught DJ principles and they did nothing but sagery 511 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: right there. And the question I don't see anybody saying 512 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: or addressing is leadership. I mean I heard it once 513 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: or twice, but that's paramountain. This Where was the sergeant, 514 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: where was the lieutenant? And everybody right up to the 515 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: chief needs to be held accountable. If that happened on 516 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: my watch in my department, I'd have been fired, and 517 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: I was the chief of my service at the federal level. 518 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for calling in. And that's that. That tracks 519 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: with every law enforcement officer that I've talked to privately 520 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: about this. Friends of mine reached out to. So I 521 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: think that that is that is the accurate assessment of 522 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: what we saw, which was these cops were way over 523 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: the line. Obviously over the line. And when people say 524 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: things like, oh, bodycams won't no bodycams. Bodycams aren't going 525 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: to make everything perfect, but there's there's going to be 526 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: some justice now because of body without body cameras, who knows. Yeah, 527 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: So there are all reforms that have been made that 528 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, I've most cops that I've talked to you 529 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: said they liked that there are body cameras because you 530 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: know what it does. It prevents frivolous lying abuse complaints 531 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: against the cop as well when that is the case, right, 532 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: So there are things that have been done. Now. You 533 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: can still have cops turn off their bodycams, as they 534 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: did for a small portion of that, but we caught 535 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: it from the light tower in that neighborhood so that 536 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: there was an additional feed of what was going on. 537 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: But you could tell, even with the bodycams that were 538 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: running for the vast majority of this tape that they 539 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: had behaved in an illegal man, you really don't want 540 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: to be the cop explaining to internal affairs why during 541 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: an arrest where there's an allegation of severe use of 542 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: force or abuse of force while your body camera just 543 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: mysteriously turned off five got to you at all? You 544 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: don't want to be You don't want to be telling 545 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: internal affairs of that. Trust me.

I'm gonna talk to you 574 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: about a situation in New York that I think some 575 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: of us probably would have anticipated or thought would happen. 576 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: You have migrants who are in a I believe it's 577 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: a four star hotel. Perhaps it's a three star, so 578 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: there may not be an an indoor pool and room service, 579 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: but it's a nice hotel in Midtown and they are 580 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: They've been living there for weeks, perhaps months, at taxpayer expense, 581 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: and they have been asked to change facilities. Any does 582 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: anyone want to take a guess as to whether the 583 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: people who came into the country knowingly and illegally to 584 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: abuse our system, to pretend to be asylum seekers who 585 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: have been put up in hotels in the middle of 586 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: Manhattan at taxpayer expense. Does anyone to guess if they're 587 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: really eager to comply with the request to move to 588 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: another facility, We'll just put that one out there for 589 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: a second hotel. But it's a four star hotel. It 590 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: is a four star. How many people listening to us 591 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: right now have ever stayed in a four star hotel 592 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: in Manhattan? Like a four star hotel in Manhattan is 593 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 1: you know, two hundred plus dollars a nine depend whoa 594 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: whoa here. But but my point is it's super expensive, 595 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: and you know, like the idea that we're putting them 596 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: up in these places, Like, I'm not surprised they would leave. 597 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: Like if you told me I could stay in a 598 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: four star hotel in Manhattan for uh for a couple 599 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: of weeks in a row, I'd be like, that's a 600 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: pretty good deal. I don't want to leave either. Yeah, 601 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: So well, we'll talk about this a little bit because 602 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: I think people are seeing more and more, you know, 603 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: the more visible illegal immigration and what it does to 604 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: the communities where they're there. It is concentrated. Just from 605 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: a pure we don't even talk about what it means 606 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: for the polity assimilation rule of law. Just on an 607 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: economic like dollars and cents perspective, it's worth looking at 608 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: how expensive this is for the for the taxpayer. But also, Clay, 609 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: did you see in Finland a transgender figure skater made 610 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: made his debut um a fifty nine year old farmer 611 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: performed at the opening ceremony of the European Figure Skating Championship. 612 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: So this is the figure skating Championship. And the guy 613 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: said that it was his childhood dream to be an 614 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: ice princess. And he like wipes out in the middle 615 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: of the skating. That's really like, I mean, if he 616 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: could skate it, really well, that's sort of a different guy. 617 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: Like all right, I mean, I know that's, you know, 618 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: the transgender stuff when that's not surprising, But Clay, the 619 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 1: guy can't.
