00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody, so the Clay Travis

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show on this Monday, June six. Appreciate

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: you joining in here, rolling with us. As there's always

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: the case after weekend, we are so anxious to lay

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: it all out for you. What has happened, what is happening,

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: and some big moments coming this week too. I know

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: in California got some important elections underway, will certainly be

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: talking about that. But over the weekend you saw a

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of headlines about shootings that are classified as mass shootings.

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Usually three or more people wounded by gunfire, I believe

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: is generally sometimes it's two or more, but multiple people

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: hit in a single shooting tends to qualify for data

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: purposes as a mass shooting, and there were a number

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: of them. We'll talk about what's going on there. And

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: also you may have seen these videos of a Pride

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: event in Dallas, Texas that it was it's just wildly inappropriate.

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. You will look

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: at these videos, clan, I'll talk to you about them.

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: But you have adult men dressed in thigh highs and

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: fishnets and g strings, dancing provocatively for an audience of

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: small children whose parents are with them, by the way,

23
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: for this and cheering and celebrating. Something is very wrong here,

24
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: my friends. And we'll talk about the transagenda and how

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: it affects children as well. We've got Naomi Wolf author

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: joining us later on the program. We'll be talking to

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: her about this and we've got a lot to get to.

28
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: But McClay first off, for me, we often talk about

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: a political reckoning. I think in advance of the mid

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: term election, we are already starting to see a progressive

31
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: prosecutor reckoning. We look at where was there a lot

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: of horrific violence over the weekend. People being shot just

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: they were in a crowd, They in the wrong place

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: at the wrong time. There was a mass shooting in Philadelphia,

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and there's video showing you on an absolutely packed street

36
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: in Philly. Three dead, fourteen hate by gunfire. There there

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: was a mass shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Two dead from gunfire,

38
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: one run over and killed by a fleeing car, fourteen injured.

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: And those are just the ones that are getting the

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: most attention from the press. But There were also mass

41
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: shootings in Grand Rapids, in Phoenix, in El Paso, in

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: I mentioned Chattanooga, in Omaha, all of the country. What

43
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: is one of the things that we can say is

44
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: that you find in common about so many of these shootings.

45
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: They are occurring in places where criminal justice reform and

46
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: progressive prosecutors have had their way for years. In a

47
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: place like Philadelphia, for example, they last hit their all

48
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: time murder record. In San Francisco and other places, the

49
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: overall crime is through the roof theft, larceny, breaking and entering.

50
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: All of this, I think Clay, the American people have

51
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: woken up to going going soft on crime and acting

52
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: like this is just our collective punishment because we don't

53
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: do enough social justice in this country. I think people

54
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: are fed up with it in cities at least all

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: across America. Yeah, I think you're right, and the data

56
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: is not complicated here. I think it's worth pointing out

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: we have seen a massive skyrocketing in violent crime since

58
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: George Floyd in May of twenty twenty. Anyone who is

59
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: trying to argue for any other explanation other than we

60
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: have demonized police is one billion percent wrong based on

61
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the data at this point, I think this is important,

62
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: and I think it needs to consistently be hammered. Home.

63
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: We had Joe Biden address was a Thursday of last week,

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: twenty minute talk about gun violence. Democrats have painted themselves

65
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: into a corner here because there is simultaneously a lack

66
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: of enforcement of existing law and a demonization of police,

67
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: which has led to a skyrocketing crime rate all over

68
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: the country. And you are seeing that is a reflection

69
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: these mass shootings are now. Remember we talked about this, Bucket.

70
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I think it's important to mention this too. Mass shootings

71
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: are a small part of the overall crime wave that

72
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: we are seeing now. They get a lot of attention,

73
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: and right now the media is very fixated on them.

74
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: But if we went out, buck you and I had

75
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: a magic wand and we said, hey, we're going to

76
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: solve every mass shooting in America, ninety nine percent of

77
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: violent crime would still be occurring murders murders. So this

78
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: idea that suddenly, oh, if we just did away with

79
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: mass shootings, we would address violent crime in a massive way,

80
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: is just not true. What we have to address is

81
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: at the root cause of the violent crime and I

82
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: believe what's going on is police have been demonized to

83
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: such an extent that they're not able to do their jobs.

84
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: A lot of them have quit. They're understaffed, overworked, disrespected

85
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: by prosecutors all over this country who when they arrest

86
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: someone they put them back out on the street and

87
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: allow them to continue to propagate violence. So to me,

88
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: if you wanted to have a real conversation about reducing

89
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: violent crime, which by the way, I think everybody is

90
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: in favor of, right, let's not pretend this is like

91
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: an actual complicated issue where there are many sides, then

92
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: the solution to me seems pretty clear. You put more

93
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: police back on the streets and you put violent criminals

94
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: behind bars. We know this because that's exactly what we

95
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: did in the early nineties and crime collapsed all over

96
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: the country. There's also the additional component here where we've

97
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: talked a lot Clay about defund the police, which is

98
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: a big, a big part of this. Right, defund the police,

99
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: m but what about the prosecutors. Because if you're looking

100
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: for a place where the criminal justice system can break down,

101
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: and there's really almost there's really no oversight other than

102
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: people voting them out right. You can up the number

103
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: of comps on the street. You can do you can

104
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: use CompStat, you can actually deploy officers, that's what they

105
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: have in New York City. But you can do databased

106
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: criminal data based police and enforcement, and there's a lot

107
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: of things you can do on a tactical level to

108
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: try to bring crime down in certain areas. But if

109
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: you have a prosecutor who is almost messianic, I mean,

110
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: who is a zealot in the desire to bring down

111
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: the number of people in prison, this is the mass incarceration.

112
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: We hear this all the time. There are whole books

113
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: that were written years ago that were very influential on

114
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: the left about the the need to end the mass

115
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: incarceration states. So in places like Philadelphia they cut the

116
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: prison population even a couple of years ago, I believe

117
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: the data was from about eight thousand to five thousand

118
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: in terms of how many people were being at any

119
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: point in time. We're serving a sentence for a felony

120
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: or serious crime. And we've seen this all over the

121
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: country where right now Krasner I'm sorry, not Krasner. Boudan

122
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: in San Francisco is facing a recall this week. Yes,

123
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: why is he facing a recall because he came in

124
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Now he's a far left radical. His parents are part

125
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: of the weather underground. They were part of the Brinks

126
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: armored car robbery. Larry Krasner in Philadelphia was a ponytailed,

127
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: antique cop, left wing activist defense attorney his entire life,

128
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: who then all of a sudden decided I'm going to

129
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: become the district attorney. This was only possible because the

130
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: media created an enormous racial panic with Donald Trump's election.

131
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, they used to say, people forget this now,

132
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: I think clay they said there was a white nationalist

133
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: as the president, not even that was rising in general terms.

134
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: They say Trump was a white nationalist. They created a

135
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: racial an So all of a sudden, you had, obviously

136
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: the minority community, the black community America is hearing from

137
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: Democrat media that we're in the you know, we're in

138
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: the worst place we've been in decades in terms of

139
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, racism, and we have a white supremacist, a

140
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: white supremacist they would say this in the white legitimately

141
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: what they said, and all of a sudden, these progressive

142
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: prosecutors can count on the mobilization of minority communities in

143
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: major cities to vote for the progressive and mass incarceration view,

144
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: replacing Democrats. By the way, this is what's so interesting.

145
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: It's not like these cities had right wing Republicans. They

146
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: had Democrats, but they had Democrats who are like, look,

147
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get in trouble if we don't lock up

148
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, a gang banger who's on you know, shooting

149
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: number three. I'm gonna get picked out of office. The

150
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: progressive prosecutors come in Krasner Fox in Chicago, Gascon and

151
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and they go, you know, let's just set

152
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: up as many diversion programs. Plea bargains lower level prosecutions

153
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: as possible, because that's how it is going to make

154
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: us not safer, clay more just. And we are paying

155
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: that price. You know, it pays it disproportionately. Minorities who

156
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: live in high crime communities. They pay the price of

157
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: these progressive prosecutors. And by the way, this is mostly

158
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: a white, white woke agenda political move It's not something

159
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: that's supported by minorities in cities. This is the white

160
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: woke universe has taken over the Democratic Party and the

161
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: results have been I think this is important to emphasize

162
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: thousands of additional dead minorities based on their political arguments.

163
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: There should be substantial consequences at the ballot box, not

164
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: just for people who traditionally vote Republican. But I know

165
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people listening to us now, white, Black, Asian,

166
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: Hispanic who ordinarily consider themselves maybe even to be Democrats.

167
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you even consider yourself to be a little bit

168
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: left of center. But you're looking at all of this

169
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: chaos us in city streets everywhere, and you're saying, we

170
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: have to fix this, and I just keep hammering home.

171
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: Being concerned that you're too tough on crime is a

172
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: luxury of a low crime environment. That's the world that

173
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: you are able to sell the idea of, hey, we're

174
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: being too tough, we're putting too many people behind bars. Well,

175
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: when crime went down in two fourteen, two fifteen, two sixteen,

176
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: remember this started with Obama as president. Ferguson was on

177
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Obama's watch, and it was all a luxury. I really

178
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: do believe this a luxury of a low crime environment,

179
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: because if you've got high crime, you don't have time

180
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: to sit around and say, oh, we're being too mean

181
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: to the criminal element. You want those guys behind bars.

182
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: You don't want random people sitting on a subway car

183
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: getting shot. You don't want somebody going out to a

184
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: bar in Philadelphia or Chattanooga with their girlfriend and they

185
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: walk outside and the next thing you know, there's a

186
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: hail of bullets everywhere and they're dead. This is a

187
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: total reality of the Democrat idea that they need to

188
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: take people from behind bars and simultaneous I think it's

189
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: two pronged buck take people up from behind bars and

190
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: simultaneously destroy the legitimacy of police absolutely so that they

191
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: are not able to do their jet. It was really

192
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: a two pronged dismantling. And we've focused a lot on

193
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: the what we call the Ferguson effect, coined by our

194
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: friend Heather McDonald, and she's completely right. That's now just

195
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: become a criminal justice term. Yes, and for everyone. Just

196
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: as a refresher, the Ferguson effect is okay. Well, cops

197
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: know that if they have to wrestle somebody to the

198
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: ground to make an arrest, they might be on videos.

199
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: So you know what, I don't know. I'm not getting

200
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: out like this guy. I'm not turning around and running,

201
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: you know, and plate. You know, he maybe he just

202
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: just robbed a liquor store at gunpoint or knife point,

203
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: but I don't see the gun. And I'm just gonna

204
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: not deal with this right now. When you see that

205
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: playing out in city after city all across the country,

206
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: it has a massive, deliterious effect to perceptions of public safety.

207
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: And then when you add the prosecutors to it, I mean,

208
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: I've been really digging into this because I find it fascinating.

209
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: There there were and I want everyone to be very

210
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: clear on this. In twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, glowing

211
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: profiles written in the New Yorker, in the New York Times,

212
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: and the Washington Post about all these different progressive prosecutors

213
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: who represented a left wing social justice above actual justice

214
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: attitude toward crime, policing and prosecution. And in every single

215
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: place Clay were they where they dig over, crime across

216
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: the board went up up dramatically. I mean, the homicides

217
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: in America, Just so everyone understands the scale we're talking

218
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: about here, from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty nationwide one

219
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: up thirty percent, most in recorded history, the most one

220
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: year they've ever done in one year, and now people

221
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: can say, well, it was absolutely not the pandemic, because

222
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: those elevated levels have pretty much stayed constant a lot

223
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: of cities. This was a result finally of the left

224
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: and smug democrats getting what they want, which is police

225
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: who were not supported and prosecutors who do not want

226
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: to lock up criminals. They would rather get glowing profiles

227
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: written about them in the New York Times and get

228
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: awards from community organizers then keep people safe from violent,

229
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: habitual criminals, which is exactly what we're seeing. That's why

230
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: people are so upset. They see, you know, Chess of

231
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: Boudan for example, this guy, Yeah, I mean someone has

232
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: gotten arrested. Fit, why is it, Clay? We keep seeing

233
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: someone's arrested twelve times, fifteen times, twenty times, and then

234
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: they do something truly heinous that makes national news. We go,

235
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: why are they on the street in the first place.

236
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: It is because of these prosecutors. There's no mystery here.

237
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, front page articles, Wall Street Journal

238
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: and the New York Times, democrats are voting these people out.

239
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: They have it is. It's not like there's a legitimate

240
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: Republican Party opposition in San Francisco. This is an internal

241
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: civil war, and the Democrats have gotten so furious at

242
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: chessa Boudan. We'll talk about this to me, Buck, it

243
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: is kind of the full fruition of Democratic Party ideals.

244
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: They can't blame Republicans for this. This is what happens

245
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: when they get free rain. It is chaos, it is death,

246
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: and it is destruction on inner city streets. We're gonna

247
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: continue to follow this one and a lot more eight

248
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: two A two two eight a two. You know, if

249
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: you're one of our listeners, because we have some major cities,

250
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: of many major cities listen. We got obviously people listening

251
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: in places like Phoenix and all across California, and you know,

252
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: Chicago and Philly, and the crime increase you've seen, if

253
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: you've got anything you want to add to the DA

254
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: in your town, just being horrible. Let us know. I'm

Speaker 1: you look, there's cities that you wouldn't even expect there

00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: are progressive prosecutors. Anyay, Well, we'll keep keep talking about it.

276
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: back in appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

277
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: We are joined now by the Attorney General of the

278
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: great State of Arizona, Phoenix. Hello to all of you

279
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: out there. We are number one in that market. Also

280
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: is reading over the weekend Scottsdale, Arizona. It's given Asheville,

281
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: my hometown, a chase now to be the bachelorette capital

282
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: of America. And in much more serious news, we have

283
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: got a border that is an absolute sieve. And the

284
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: Attorney General of Arizona, Mark Bernovich, was just down there

285
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: and there right now is a caravan that is potentially

286
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: going to become one of the largest, if not the

287
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: largest caravans to ever attempt to cross our southern border.

288
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: What did you learn, Attorney General Bernovich? And how bad

289
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: do you think things are going to get during the

290
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: course of this summer and into the fall. Thank you Clay,

291
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: Thank you Travis for having me on. And it is

292
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: worse than people imagine. You know, down in the human sector,

293
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: you're seeing about sixteen hundred apprehensions a day. We know

294
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: a hum officials told me that they've already had twenty

295
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: one deaths this year from heat related issues from migrants

296
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: trying to legally cross the border. And so it is

297
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: a human tragedy. It is not humane. It's insane what

298
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is doing. But one of the big

299
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: things I just want to keep emphasizing because we keep

300
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: losing these adjectives to describe how terrible it is. But

301
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: so far this fiscal year, there have been nearly one

302
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: point five million encounters of people illegally entering our country.

303
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: So these are the people we know about, not the gataways.

304
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: And that is literally like the population of a place

305
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: like Dallas, Texas or San Diego and just less than

306
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: a year that has tried to illegally come into our country.

307
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: We know the Biden administration now wants a DHS to

308
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: grant asylum. I've got another lawsuits President Biden over that.

309
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: So the Biden administration is decriminalized, the incentivized people coming here,

310
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: and we are seeing the results the consequences of not

311
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: only a broken Congress that's damaging this country for years,

312
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: but now when you combine that with Joe Biden, it

313
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: is absolutely devastating. And literally this is the biggest invasion

314
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: of this country since the Southwest border, since the Alamo.

315
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: Aj Bernavich's buck. I just want to know what you

316
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: think could reasonably be not to I mean, there's a

317
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: lot of that could be done. Is there anything that

318
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: the Biden administration could be pushed to do that they

319
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: would be willing to do that might start to begin

320
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: to secure the border more. I mean, I just I

321
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: wann't know, well what should we expect because right now

322
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: it feels like last year was pretty much the worst

323
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: on record for illegal crossings. They're going into a midterm

324
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: election here with another year of perhaps the worst illegal

325
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: crossing numbers we've really seen, certainly in thirty years. And

326
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think they'll do if

327
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: they do get wiped out in the mid terms, if

328
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: it is bad for the Democrats, will they start to

329
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: take measures at the border or is this just going

330
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: to continue on because they're so ideologically devoted to it.

331
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: You know, what could they do? What would they do?

332
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: But Buck, I think what is happening is that whoever

333
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: speaking in Joe Biden's earpiece that they are hardcore radical

334
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: leftists and this is all part of that whole neo

335
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: Marxist strategy where they want to fundamentally, you know, change

336
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: American society, not based on immigration, but they want people

337
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: to become dependent on a central authority in Washington, DC.

338
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: And so the Biden administration is shown that they have

339
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: absolutely no respect for federal law, and they certainly have

340
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: no patience for the Constitution. And I don't think they

341
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: have any discernible strategy other than doing whatever meets the

342
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: far left agenda. They're going to ignore the Constitution and

343
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: basically deny that it's damaging anyone's lives. But we know that,

344
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, places like Human Arizona, Coaches County Arizona are

345
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: being overwhelmed not only by the amount of people illegally

346
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: entering the country and you know, the devastation to the

347
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: desert southwest, but also social resources. And it's one of

348
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: the reasons why when I sued President Biden, and I

349
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: argued earlier this year at the Supreme Court that they

350
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: cannot withdraw the public charge rule because the Biden administration

351
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: wants to give benefits you know, housing, you know, food, snap,

352
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: all that, all those government benefits to non citizens, and

353
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: so that will continue to incentivize people breaking the law

354
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: and quite frankly coming here for the wrong reasons. What

355
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: are you hearing on the ground? I know you're running

356
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: for the Senate. Obviously there's an open governor's race going

357
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: on too. Arizona is going to be one of the

358
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: top battlegrounds in the entire country. We know how close

359
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: and how much of a mess things were in the

360
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential election. What are you hearing from people

361
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: on the ground about their opinion of the direction of

362
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: the country and Joe Biden's first year and a half

363
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: in office as we sit five months from midterm election day. Well,

364
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, I grew up here in Arizona. Guy, I

365
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: am the first generation American, and I know why people

366
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: want to come to this country because the rural law

367
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: means something that everyone has an opportunity, you know, an

368
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: equal chance to get ahead, no matter who they are,

369
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: how you spell your last name. And you know I'm

370
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: a public school kid. I still live in the same

371
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: neighborhood I grew up in, And when I go to

372
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: the grocery store, when I talk to the postal cary,

373
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: when I talk to folks in our neighborhood, and my

374
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: wife and I are walking our dons, people cannot believe

375
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: how gas prices have gone through the roof. People are

376
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: smart enough to know when gas prices shoot through the roof,

377
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: that has an effect on everything. It affects the What

378
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: happens at the grocery store in effect, impacts what people

379
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: are paying for rent or housing. Prices here have gone

380
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: through the roof. So people know something is fundamentally wrong,

381
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: and no matter how much Joe Biden or Cartel, Kelly

382
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: or you know, Nancy Plosi, whoever tries to deny, it's

383
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: their fault. The reality is as a result of the

384
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: reckless spending and these COVID relief bills that spent money

385
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: we don't have, and concentrated power in DC and the

386
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: Biden administration canceling you know, auctions offshore drilling, you know

387
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: exploration in places like you know, Alaska that has an

388
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: impact on our economy. And people know Joe Biden, Mark Kelly,

389
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: Chuck Shum or Nancy Plosi, the Democrats are responsible as

390
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: they control all the levers of power and they've created

391
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 1: a mess of our economy. And so whether it's at

392
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: the gas pump, the grocery store, or all the gangs

393
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: now that are infiltrating our neighborhoods, people are upset and

394
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: they know that something is fundamentally wrong, and quite frankly,

395
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: we're on the wrong path. And that's why as long

396
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: as we have good, solid candidates that can articulate and

397
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: defend our conservative values, we win. But we need to

398
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: stand up to the leftist mob speaking to Attorney General

399
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: Mark Bernovich for the state of Arizona's running for Senate

400
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: there as well. Aji Bernovich the crime issue, we're talking

401
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: today a lot about progressive prosecutors and the reckoning that

402
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: the American people, notably in the cities where these prosecutors

403
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: are making decisions that affect people's lives. There's a recognition,

404
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: I think that this has been disastrous. I know Phoenix

405
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: has seen something of an increase in murders in the

406
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Are has the State of Arizona

407
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: been hit by the progressive prosecutor reality as well in

408
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: any of the cities, and what could be done to

409
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: bring down crime in your state? Well, we have and

410
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: I was a gang prosector. It began my career as

411
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: a gang prosecutor as a federal prosecutor. So I understand

412
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: this issue, and I understand that when people enter the

413
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: social compact, this is why people enter government and they

414
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: elect people because it's the primary function of government, you know,

415
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: public safety. And so we now in Phoenix, you have

416
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: a democratic mayor, you have a democratic city council. You know,

417
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: they have demonized the police departments to some extent. We

418
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: have the federal government now investigating you know, our police

419
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: department over allegations related to civil rights abuses. And so

420
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: when you don't have law enforcements back on a local level,

421
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: and when you have the federal government trying to micromanage

422
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: what they're doing, you're going to get police departments that

423
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: are worried about, you know, not doing their job, and

424
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: they aren't as effective. We've seen that in bigger cities

425
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: like New York, where you know, stopping first policies get

426
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: revoked and you end up with more crime. And as

427
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: you guys have talked about, both of you have talked about,

428
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: when you end up with progressive prosecutors and places Cook County,

429
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Illinois and San Francisco, LA that ignore crimes that will

430
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: not prosecute property crimes under less than a thousand dollars,

431
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: you end up with more crime. And this goes back

432
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: to you know, the broken windows theory James Q. Wilson

433
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: wrote about when you allow little crime, so called little crimes,

434
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: property crimes, you know, crimes with you know, you know,

435
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: public spray painting, you know, low level crimes, you end

436
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: up seeing more and more crimes that empowers the gangs,

437
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: and then you end up with more violence in your communities,

438
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: and so, um, I have always been a big believer

439
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: that you need to aggressively prosecute every crime. If if

440
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: it's a crime and it's on the books, you have

441
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: to prosecute it. And if you don't, if prosecutors turn

442
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: their blind eye to that, then you will end up

443
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: with more crime and disrespect quite frankly for the system,

444
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: and then undermining of the rule of law. And you know,

445
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: once again, the whole reason, you know, our system, our

446
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: country is based on a constitutional you know, constitution that

447
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: believes in the separation of powers and federalism, but it

448
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: also believes that we have to have consistent been seeing

449
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: certainty in the application of the law. And that's what

450
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: the rule of law is all about. How's the American

451
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: county prosecutor doing, Mark, Well, you know, unfortunately, rest are

452
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: sol The county prosecutor was having doing some issues, some

453
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: cases weren't being prosecuted, and she recently just passed away.

454
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: So we now have a new prosecutor that's taken over

455
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: the county prosecutor's office. So you know, we'll see how

456
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 1: that office manages transition. I didn't realize interesting, yes, and

457
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: so it's been in transition, and you know, we've obviously,

458
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, our office is doing now you know, a

459
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: bunch of you know, drug cases because the cartels are

460
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: pouring drugs into our state. We're seeing a price offent

461
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: and all dramatically decline. We've been very aggressive and prosecuting

462
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: human trafficking cases. But you know, as you allude to

463
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: the county attorneys, the district attorneys, they are the primary

464
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: people that have to prosecute, you know, the arm robberies,

465
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: the homicide. That is their job. And you know, quite frankly,

466
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: later this week we've been involved. Office prosecuted a case

467
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: involving a degenerate killer who raped and brutally killed a

468
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: seven year old girl who's been forty years ago, and

469
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: we are still fighting to him to executed. The execution

470
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: is set for this Wednesday. And I tell folks all

471
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: the time that we need to have certainty and consistency,

472
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: and when people commit the altermate crimes, they deserve the

473
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: ultimate punishment. So I'm doing everything I can to make

474
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: sure I'm holding these degenerate criminals accountable. Attorney General Mark Bernovich,

475
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: State of Arizona. Good for you to be with us, sir,

476
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: thanks so much, Clay Buck. Thank you guys very much.

477
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: If your job requires you to wear a suit and tie,

478
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna need a comfortable pair of dress shoes. Trust me,

479
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: I've got those shoes. It's Wolf and Shepherd. That's the

480
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: brand name you need to know. I own three pairs

481
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: of Wolf and Shepherd shoes. This is the dress shoe

482
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: made and worn initially by athletes before guys like you

483
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: and me made the discovery. Wolf and Shepherd has a

484
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: simple mission, equipped professionals with footwear they'll feel comfortable in

485
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: all day. When you've got that taken care of, your

486
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: long days in a suit and tie are that much

487
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 1: more comfortable. Plus, honestly, I just wear mine going out

488
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: to a nice dinner. It's date night with the significant other.

489
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: You want to put on your Wolf and Shepherds because

490
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna look great, but you're gonna be really comfortable.

491
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: Wolf and Shepherd's founder is a former track athlete and

492
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: designer who brought athletic shoe innovation to dress shoes. So,

493
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: like I said, you're gonna look like you're all dressed

494
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: up if you're gonna feel like you're wearing a comfortble

495
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: pair of sneakers. It's amazing. I cannot encourage you enough

496
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: to get a pair of Wolf and Shepherds for yourself.

497
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Once they're a part of your wardrobe and routine, I'm

498
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: confident you're gonna love them just as much as I do.

499
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Better footwear for the work day. See what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1: Thanks everybody for joining in. Phone lines open eight hundred

507
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: two eight two eight eight two. You want to call

508
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: it chat with us, please do. And We've got a

509
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: few things here. One is the Biden administration continuing to

510
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: have a rough day. It feels like every days a

511
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: rough day for the by administration. Joe is apparently very unhappy.

512
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: This is the story that's being put out there now.

513
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: Kind of strikes me that some of this may just

514
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: be spinned. Joe Biden is shocked, shocked to find out

515
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: that the American people think that he's doing a crappy

516
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: job and that his approval ratings at this stage are

517
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: actually below the approval ratings of his predecessor, Donald Trump.

518
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, Joe Biden has effectively a corporate

519
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: media apparatus that ninety five percent of the people and

520
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the time is giving him a

521
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: back rob and participation awards, you know, just because no

522
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: mean tweets or whatever. Donald Trump had a media apparatus

523
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: that completely lit whatever credibility they thought they had on fire,

524
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: though it wasn't very much to begin with, in order

525
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: to create narratives of panic and fear at a time

526
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: when the country was actually doing really well or at peace,

527
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: no huge war in Europe, didn't have the worst inflation

528
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: in forty years. You think back, what were the big

529
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: scary things of the Trump years, and it was the

530
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: fantasy of Russia collusion, which was essentially like the boogeyman

531
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: hiding under someone's better in the closet. It didn't exist, really,

532
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: but Democrats were terrified of it, and they had to

533
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: come up with things to make people think the country

534
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: was in such bad shape when it was actually in

535
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: great shape. Biden's very upset now that people realize the

536
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: emperor has no clothes. This whole thing is kind of

537
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: a joke. So what are they going to do? We've

538
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: been saying all along, they don't have a good narrative

539
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: to share, they don't have a good story to tell.

540
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: So there'll be a lot of focus on this January sixth,

541
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: which this has been the most predictable thing in American

542
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: politics I think for the last eighteen months. And they're

543
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna make this not just about January sixth, but also

544
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: about Trump as much as possible, to try to make

545
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: the midterms about Donald Trump. Here is I mean, I

546
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: gotta say, these former federal prosecutors who show up on

547
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: places like MSNBC and CNN have done more to damage

548
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: the public's perception of federal prosecutors as serious and worthwhile

549
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: people than anything else you could have ever conjured. Here

550
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: is some former federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirshner saying that the

551
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: real targets of the January sixth investigations is you guessed it,

552
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Clearly, I think Donald Trump is the ultimate target.

553
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: And it seems to me that what DJ is now

554
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: doing is working its way up the criminal food chain.

555
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: Why is it that we now have the kind of

556
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: flurry of activity. Could it be because the Department of

557
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: Justice has gotten wind of precisely what the American people

558
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: are gonna see beginning on June nine, regarding the crimes

559
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump and his co conspirators, and people are

560
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: going to be screaming, bloody murders. Why haven't they been indicted?

561
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: It feels to me like all of a sudden, DJ

562
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: is in full sprint anticipating what we are all about

563
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: to see. I mean, this guy's delusional, Clay, but yeah,

564
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: and a couple of days they're going to have their

565
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: January sixth primetime hearing. Is anyone gonna watch? Nobody's gonna care?

566
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that's because nobody cares about January sixth.

567
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean they've had eighteen months that they have dragged

568
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: out January sixth. They're gonna put this on in primetime,

569
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: which feels like a desperate attempt for attention in the

570
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: middle of what is going to be a busy summer

571
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: graduation season. People just have a lot of other things

572
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: going on in their life now. Super left wing people

573
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: who are still obsessed with Donald Trump are going to

574
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: pay attention to this, and there's going to be a

575
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: desperate attempt to try to connect Donald Trump to the

576
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: mid term elections. And indeed, Buck, one of the storylines

577
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: that's out there is that Trump may decide to declare

578
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty four campaign officially under way, maybe before

579
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: we even get through the summer months. Now there's a dispute,

580
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: there's articles written from a variety of different perspectives. My

581
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: advice on that would be for Trump to stay out

582
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: of the fray, allow the midterms to happen. And by

583
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: out of the fray, I mean announcing a presidential campaign.

584
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: I think going out and doing rallies and endorsing candidates

585
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: that he believes make the most sense are eminently reasonable.

586
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: But I just don't think Buck, there's that many persuadable

587
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: people out there who believe that this January sixth storyline

588
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: is going to fundamentally change anything. And I would just

589
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: say this, with all of the leaks that have out

590
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: of that committee, do you expect me to believe that

591
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: they've kept some grand, unbelievable, incredible and explosively revelatory details

592
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: not public yet? I mean they've been leaking to the

593
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: New York Times, in the Washington Post and MSNBC and CNN,

594
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: the usual suspects about this investigation for over a year now,

595
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: every little detail, text messages from media members. They've tried

596
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: to hold guys in contempt who haven't been willing to testify.

597
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: And I just don't buy into the fact that there's

598
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: enough discipline on this committee that there's something that we

599
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: haven't seen. Now. I think they'll try to address it,

600
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: sizzle it up, try to sell it to all of

601
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: the gullible and culpable and particularly anti Trump media out there.

602
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: So I know that there will be an aggressive attempt

603
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: made here, but I just I don't think there's anything there.

604
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: I think, to use a phrase from the Obama administration,

605
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: this is now a nothing burger, right like. People have

606
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: moved on. They care about inflation, that they care about

607
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: the southern border, they care about to some extent, the

608
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: war going on in Ukraine and Russia right now, they

609
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: care about the murder rate that's certainly occurring in this country.

610
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: January sixth is like the thirtieth or fortieth most important thing,

611
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: if that, in the country right now. I think they've

612
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: created and by they, I mean The Washington Post, The

613
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, etc. I think they've just

614
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: created an expectation among their most consistent hardcore viewers which

615
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: is completely synonymous with the Democrat base right, the real

616
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: left wing Democrat based voter. They believe that this is

617
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: important to them. They've been promised they will get these hearings,

618
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: and so in my mind, at best, they think with

619
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: these hearings they're speaking to twenty percent of the country.

620
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think about twenty percent of you know,

621
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: the voting age population of this country that as far

622
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: left Democrat is essentially insane and unreachable. Like it doesn't

623
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: matter what, it doesn't matter what they're they're terrified of

624
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: having kids because of climate change. Did you see ye?

625
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: Do you see Ezra Klein? You know, because he has

626
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: the the the superficial trappings of the intellectual people like, oh,

627
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: he must be so smart, saying that the most common

628
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: question that he gets asked by people is whether or

629
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: not it's responsible for them to have children because of

630
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: the carbon footprint and climate change. I want to sit down.

631
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know this guy, never talked to him.

632
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: Want to be like do you hang out with lunatics, Like,

633
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: do you hang out with people who are that direct?

634
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: Apparently yes, because that's the most common question he gets

635
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: asked those people. What do you think the crossover is between, Oh,

636
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm so scared about having kids because of

637
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: the climate change impact that my out of out of

638
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: seven billion people in the world, my cure individual decision

639
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: to have a kid. Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna affect

640
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: the climate and it's irresponsible. There the crossover clay between

641
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: too scared to have kids because of climate change and

642
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: thinks the January six hearings, which are going to happen

643
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: in a couple of days, are prime time important for

644
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: the savior saving of the Republic. I think it's one hundred. Yeah,

645
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: it's an overlap. It's like two different circles that are

646
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: the same color that you can't even tell are different.

647
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: But this is just an easy question for everybody out there.

648
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: We're effectively into the summer. It's gonna be Thursday evening.

649
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: People like to start celebrating the weekend a little bit early.

650
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: Who is sitting and watching a prime time congressional hearing

651
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: focused on something that happened eighteen months ago for a

652
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: guy that isn't even president right now and isn't announced

653
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: to be running in twenty twenty four. Yet it's so

654
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: backwards looking in the same way that Buck, you and

655
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: I have said, Hey, elections really are for non incumbents

656
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: a referendum on the future. But if you're an incumbent,

657
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: then you should be held responsible for whatever's occurred on

658
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: your watch. My biggest concern about Trump is I think

659
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: Trump will watch the hearings, and I think he will

660
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: enjoy them. My concern with his campaign in twenty twenty

661
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: four is not the fact that he's a better candidate

662
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: than Joe Biden. He clearly is, but that was the

663
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: case in twenty twenty as well. It's that Trump running

664
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: lets Joe Biden or whoever the Democrat is that ends

665
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: up as the standard bearer off the hook for how

666
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: awful they've been in their job, because we end up

667
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: arguing about the twenty twenty election results as opposed to

668
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: the concrete election consequences, which are what has happened with

669
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in office. Right So twenty twenty four, to me,

670
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: it wipes out everything January sixth, everything twenty twenty. It's

671
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: all about who's got the better vision going forward and

672
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: a referendum on Democrats having control of the government. My

673
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: concern is if you allow yourself to get dragged back

674
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: into the past, that's a more fertile terrain for Democrats

675
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: to fight on, and that's what January sixth is all about,

676
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: because it's effectively an attempt. We saw Gavin Newsom do

677
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: this when he tried to turn Larry Elder into Donald Trump.

678
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: That's the only campaign strategy that it seems Democrats have

679
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: right now because this is definitely not gonna work. The Hey,

680
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: the economy's actually, like, you know, it's really good, guys,

681
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: just you don't know it. He was talking about this

682
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: positive jobs report which showed continued strong job growth three

683
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: hundred ninety thousand jobs, no sign of recession, moderating wage growth,

684
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: expanded labor force participation, which indicates some cooling of inflation pressures.

685
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: So for the moment, the White House thinks this is

686
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: a report in the right direction and an economy moving

687
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: in the right direction. CNN can try and spin all

688
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: day on behalf of the regime, but the people that

689
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: are looking at a doubling of gas prices in the

690
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: last twelve months are like now, I don't think so,

691
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it's not gonna fly. And not only that,

692
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: I believe I'm correct that the new inflation data is

693
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: coming out on Friday. So you're telling me that on

694
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: Thursday evening, Democrats focus is going to be eighteen months

695
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: in the past. On January sixth, that they are going

696
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: to be having a hearing that evening and the next morning,

697
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: early in that morning, we're going to get the newest

698
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: inflation data. Whatever happens on Thursday, inflation is going to

699
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: be the story all day Friday, because it's still news

700
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: flash going to be awful. And I just tell you know,

701
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: everybody out there, and because I understand this sentiment, So

702
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to do this whole It's about

703
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: the sanctity of our elections and about the foundation of

704
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: our republic. And yeah, obviously, you know it was people

705
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: should not have attacked cops that day, and you know

706
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: it was it was a not just not just a mistake,

707
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: it was a blunder because obviously, as we see, they've

708
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: capitalized on the riot that day. It wasn't an insurrection.

709
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: Of course, the one riot that Republicans were actually responsible

710
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: for from an entire summer of riots. And it's not

711
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: like the entire Republican Party had been calling for riots

712
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: for months and months, as the Democrats did it in

713
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: the months leading up to this. But I would just

714
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: say it's amazing how much the Democrats didn't understand after

715
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: they tried a soft coup against Trump with the Russia

716
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: collusion lie for four straight years, basically after they their

717
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: primary means of opposition to the Trump presidency was a

718
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: concerted effort by the FBI, the Democrat Party, the intelligence community,

719
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: and the Democrat aligned corporate media to create this Russian

720
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: collusion lie to get a special counsel to grind away

721
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: at the Trump administration with that just heinous political dirty trick.

722
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: They think that we want to sit around to be

723
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: lectured about January sixth. I got a few words to

724
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: say to them in response, but I can't say them

725
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: on radio. Well. I just think it's going to be

726
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: particularly tone deaf because again Thursday night, oh my goodness,

727
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: look at how bad January sixth was. Friday morning, before

728
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: most people are even at work, the latest inflation data

729
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: is going to be out, So whatever that storyline that

730
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: they create on Thursday evening with their primetime January sixth

731
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: hearing is going to immediately disappear as everyone reacts to

732
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: what's going on with inflation. So there's just no it's

733
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: just going to make them feel and seem even more

734
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: tone deaf than they actually are, which is saying something.

735
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: Twenty one years ago, nine to eleven, two thousand, nine

736
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 1: hundred seventy seven people were killed in a terror attack

737
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: on American soil. Tunnel of the Towers Foundation has been

738
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: supporting America's heroes and their families ever since. When a

739
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: first responder or military service member doesn't come home and

740
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: young kids are left behind, Tunnel of the Towers pays

741
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: off their mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring

742
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: their family stability. For severely injured veterans and first responders,

Speaker 1: Tunnel of the Towers builds mortgage free smart homes, enabling

760
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: Buck I've talked about how incredible it was of an

761
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: experience to get to spend the day touring all of

762
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: the D Day beaches. There are still survivors who are

763

Speaker 1: over in Normandy today celebrating that historic occasion. And I thought,

769
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march

770
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: with you, in company with our brave allies and brothers

771
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: in arms on other fronts. You will bring about the

772
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi

773
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for

774
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be

775
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped,

776
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: and battle hardened. He will fight savagely. I have full

777
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle.

778
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: We will accept nothing less than full victory. It's amazing, Clay.

779
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: It's a reminder of what those men at that time

780
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: we're facing. And I know I mentioned this to you

781
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: off air, but for me, I think, I guess I

782
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: was in the eighth or ninth grade when Saving Private

783
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: Ryan came out that initial sequence that day sequence I

784
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: think had more of an impact on me than any

785
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: other military recreation on the screen I've ever seen. I mean,

786
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: I still remember being in that theater at that time

787
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: and seeing what those what our soldiers had to go

788
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: through in that landing and what that meant at that time.

789
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: It's like seared into my brain. And I know there's

790
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: still some actual d D Day survivors veterans out there,

791
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: and you know, we don't have that many left. It's

792
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: wild to think about these eighteen and nineteen year old kids,

793
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: many of whom had never been outside of their state,

794
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: and suddenly they are on their first airplane flights ever

795
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: that crossed the Atlantic, and those troop transports they drop

796
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: the door basically and you're stepping right out into Nazis

797
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: machine gun fire at eighteen and nineteen years old. And

798
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: the bravery of those guys and what they did. And

799
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: then to think about the trajectory of where our country

800
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: is today, where we've gone from that generation fighting actual

801
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: Nazis buck to where the current generation on social media

802
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: calls people they disagree with on political related issues Nazis. Yeah,

803
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: we've we've debased courage in this culture around such any

804
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: The Left has debased courage to such such an extent

805
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: where they think that you know, crying and screaming and

806
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: yelling at people for not wanting to use make believe,

807
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: not even just whatever pronoun but you know, there's there's

808
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: a whole movement to have make believe pronouns called people

809
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: you know x Z for Z that is the equivalent

810
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: of storming the beaches at Normandy. Yeah, they actually think

811
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: that they're the heroes of our society for taking no

812
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: risk and actually being the oppressors within our society, which

813
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: I think the right has increasingly woken up to that

814
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: unless you stand up against these individuals, they will they

815
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: will immiserate you and think that they're good people for

816
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: doing it, not just with COVID, with everything. And I

817
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: think the other lesson here is sooner or later, big

818
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: words and talk matters, but sooner or later people who

819
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: are truly evil use violence, and you have to be

820
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: willing to respond in kind violent. You can't talk the

821
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: Nazis out of not invading, right, You can't talk bad

822
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: people out of making the choices they make. There's a

823
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: portion of our society, and obviously we're you and I

824
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: are both part of the what I've called the nine

825
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: to eleven generation. And I went to the CIA because

826
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven, and we had a few million

827
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: veterans serving Iraq and Afghanistan. But there's a portion of

828
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: our society that I think jects the idea that at

829
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: some point your freedom as a society and as a

830
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: people is reliant upon men and women who are willing

831
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: to get into the equivalent of a Higgins boat and

832
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: brave machine gun fire and take the fight to the enemy.

833
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 1: That actually is the final you know, the final bullwark,

834
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: the final defense against tyranny. And a lot of people

835
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: in our country right now don't accept that, don't understand that.

836
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 1: I think unfortunately, how many eighteen and nineteen year olds

837
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: who think they're so brave for sitting around on social

838
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 1: media calling out people all day long, would be willing

839
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: calling them Nazis, would be willing to step into a

840
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: hail of gunfire to fight against people that call folks

841
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: who use the wrong pronoun Nazis. They would never actually

842
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: show up to fight against real Nazis. Thank you all

843
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: who did. Fleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the front

844
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: lines of truth.
