And then the governor of Alaska, Mike Dunleavy, 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: not the former basketball player. 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think he's doing double duty. 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: He will be with us as we look towards the 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: eve of the Trump putin meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, that 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm sure there will be much 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: discussion of that both today and tomorrow. 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: But we told you this on Monday. 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: Trump came out at I believe it was ten am 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: East Coast time on Monday and said crime is out 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: of control in Washington, DC, and I'm gonna marshal as 17 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: many federal resources as necessary to help stop that from 18 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: being a reality. 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: He was fed up with what he was seeing. 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: We now are on day four of Trump dominating the 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: news cycle, and the news cycle being Democrats arguing, Hey, 22 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: crime isn't actually that bad, and meanwhile almost everybody else 23 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: is saying, actually, yet is really bad, And why are 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: you opposed to making crime better than it is right now? 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: And I just want to play a couple of cuts here, Buck, 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: to get you started for the day. This is and 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: I want to give credit before I play him. 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: By the way. 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: We have finally reached a bridge to lunacy that Joe 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Scarborough will not take to defend left wing talking points, 31 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: perhaps embarrassed chasen by his ridiculousness. As it pertains to 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, he is actually making some sense. But first 33 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: the people who are not making sense. Chuck Schumer, he 34 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: of the Hey, I like to cook Hamburger's on a grill, 35 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: Allard increasingly without power in the Senate. Terrified that AOC 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: is going to challenge him, he says, I feel perfectly 37 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: safe in DC, and this is all just an Epstein distraction. 38 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: Flailing Chuck Schumer. Cut three. 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: I walk around all the time. I wake up early 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: in the morning sometimes and take a nice walk as 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 3: the sun is rising around some of the capital and 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: the other monuments and things, and I feel perfectly safe. 43 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 3: They're full of it. Look here's what they've done, Aaron, 44 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: plain and simple. Donald Trump wants to distract. That's his game. 45 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: Plan. 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: It's been his mo for his first term in the 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 3: presidency and now so he trying to make this a distraction. 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: What's he trying to distract from, Well, a lot of things, 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: but above all Epstein. We've been confronting him on Epstein 50 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: very successfully left and right, so much so that Johnson 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: had a dismiss you know, had to send his house 52 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: a home early, and we called it the Epstein recess. 53 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: Okay, this is desperate, primarily because Democrats were in power 54 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: for four years and did nothing at all. By and 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: large relating to Epstein, Epstein has started to vanish as 56 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: Trump has, I think, tried to marshal as much public 57 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: release of data as he possibly can, and Democrats are 58 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: now buck in the position of arguing. The first part 59 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: of this is what I thought was interesting, Chuck Schumer saying, 60 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: I get up early in the morning and I walk 61 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: around the capital. First of all, I question how often 62 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: this happens. Maybe hopefully he's out for walks and he's 63 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: a very healthy guy. But I don't think most people 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: are saying, hey, it's six am, it's deadly necessarily to 65 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: go walk along beside the Washington Monument and the Lincoln memorial. 66 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: I think even Chuck Schumer would have to realize that 67 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: much of the issue related to crime is in residential areas, 68 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and this is kind of a flailing nature that they're 69 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: in right now. They're telling people to not believe what 70 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: they see with their own eyes. Crime is bad, and 71 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: I think everybody out there recognizing it and Trump trying 72 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: to make it better is actually just a good thing 73 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: and not particularly political. 74 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 5: It's also remarkable that the fallback now has turned into, well, 75 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 5: we're doing such a good job as Democrats on the 76 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 5: Epstein thing. Yeah, that's the big that's the big attack. 77 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 5: That's what they're going after the administration on, just to 78 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 5: note something they didn't care. 79 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: About at all four years. 80 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 5: For four years, yeah, there was absolutely no discussion whatsoever 81 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 5: from them about Epstein. 82 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: And yet here we are now being told that. 83 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 5: Any so anything that Trump wants to talk about that 84 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 5: they don't want to talk about. 85 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: Now. 86 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 5: Their go to is he just wants to distract from Epstein. 87 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 5: I think that's. 88 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: People from being murdered in order to distract from Epstein. 89 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: I would argue, would even be even if it were true, 90 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: I would actually argue, that's good. You know, Epstein's dead 91 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: and notmitting, to my knowledge, any current crimes. I'd rather 92 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: protect people from current crimes as opposed to focus on 93 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: past ones personally. So even that argument is a weak 94 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: one when you actually break it down in that respect. 95 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that the whole Democrat Party is desperate 96 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 5: for anything that they can say right now. That just 97 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 5: seems like they're even in opposition because there's nothing they 98 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 5: can really pull Uh, there's nothing they can really pull 99 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 5: together that will hit hard against where Trump currently is. 100 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: I would note that on. 101 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 5: The crime issue, you've had a number of people come 102 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 5: out come forward. 103 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: Here. 104 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 5: Here's my old friend se Cup. Actually I wanted to 105 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 5: play this one. She used to do the Real New 106 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 5: Show with me at The Blaze many years ago at 107 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 5: Glenn Beck's The Blaze, and she had this to say 108 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 5: at CNN to the Democrats, to their faces, play seven. 109 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: The numbers can be what they are. 110 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 6: But also people don't feel that way. And when it 111 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 6: comes to two things, crime in the economy, feelings don't 112 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 6: really care about your facts. And I can't tell you 113 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 6: how profoundly stupid it is for Democrats to get up 114 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 6: with their facts and their figures and their charts in 115 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 6: the graphs and say, look, you're safe. Can't you read 116 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 6: this chart? 117 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: Idiots? Why are you complaining? 118 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 6: I'm showing you right here how safe you are, So 119 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 6: shut up and move along. 120 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't work. Tough argument, and that's what they're trying. 121 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: And I give credit you wanted to play se cup there. 122 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: There's actually quite a few people on the left that 123 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 1: are saying, you know what, again, this is a bridge 124 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: too far. Joe Scarborough, who basically proved he didn't have 125 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: a gag reflex as long as Joe Biden was president, 126 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: even he now is saying, look, DC is really dangerous. 127 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: And on MSNBC they have that panel show, the Morning 128 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: Show that you watch, Buck, I watched this clip. There's 129 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: like eight people that are all there in like tiny 130 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: little boxes. They have this huge up ensemble cast and 131 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: Scarborough's just lecturing everybody. Actually, Trump's right about how violent 132 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: the crime situation is. And I don't think this is 133 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: playing very well. Here's cut eight. This is what they 134 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: heard on MSNBC. 135 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 7: The answer to this, this this problem for Democrats is 136 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 7: not everything's okay, there's nothing to see here, Move along, 137 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 7: move along. Oh, Washington has dropped twenty four percent or 138 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 7: whatever in crime. 139 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 8: Well, let me give you some other numbers. The Washington 140 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 8: Post took a poll in late April early May. Ninety 141 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 8: one percent of Washington residents say crime is a problem, 142 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 8: ninety one percent fifty one percent it is an extremely 143 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 8: serious problem. There are stark divides among the lines of 144 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 8: race and income in the poll, with black residents and 145 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 8: lower income residents significantly more worried about crime than white 146 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 8: residents and those with high incomes. 147 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: I think that's actually well said by Joe Scarborough. The 148 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: base of the Democrat Party actually feels the crime, that 149 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: is poor black voters in a way that the left 150 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: wing media that lives in Northwest d C. And oftentimes 151 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: has private security protecting them, is a bit protected from this. 152 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: And this ties in with what Harry Inton is saying 153 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: this is CNN that he thinks this is a total 154 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: miscalculation by Democrats too, and again trying to reduce violent 155 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: crime as something historically that almost all Americans have been 156 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: in favor of. 157 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: Cut six. 158 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 9: Look at where Donald Trump is way, way way above 159 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 9: Joe Biden. 160 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: What is that? That's twenty seven points. 161 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 9: So Americans vastly prefer Donald Trump's approach to crime than 162 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 9: they ditch to Joe Biden's and again I think it 163 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 9: gets back to the point that Americans are far more 164 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 9: hawkish on crime than a lot of Democrats want to admit. 165 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 9: This isn't just about Donald Trump. It's about Republicans versus Democrats, right, 166 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 9: and that, of course is a key question going into 167 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 9: next year's midterm election. I think the party closest to 168 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 9: your views on crime. Look in twenty twenty three, Republicans 169 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 9: were favored by thirteen points. 170 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: Look at where they were in May of this year. 171 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 9: Republicans were actually favored by sixty months. 172 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: They actually gained ground on crime. 173 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 9: They were maintaining their edge and actually added a little 174 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 9: bit to it. So Republicans in the House, Republicans in 175 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 9: the Senate, they absolutely want to be talking about crime. 176 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 9: The more they feel that we're talking about crime, the 177 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 9: better they feel that. 178 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: The electoral landscape. 179 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 3: Is for them. 180 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: Are you surprised that this has been the Democrat position 181 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: that actually crimes getting better and that Trump. I mean, 182 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: if they had come out and said, hey, he's exceeding 183 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: his presidential authority, we don't like that. But to argue, hey, 184 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: crime's actually down and there's no need for this it 185 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: feels like an own goal, uh, shooting themselves in the foot, 186 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: even within lenient standards, because Democrats do that a lot. 187 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised that they stepped right into this 188 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: bear trap. 189 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: I guess they just. 190 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 5: Don't really have any sense of of how to pivot 191 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 5: from something that Trump is on and come up with 192 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 5: a better or a you know, their own version of 193 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 5: how to fix it. Because to me, that would be 194 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 5: they could come out and say, well, this isn't for 195 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 5: the president to do, but we should have more resources 196 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 5: for now. I think the response to that would likely 197 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 5: be something along the lines of, yeah, we've been trying that. 198 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 5: Whatever they're going to say has probably been tried before 199 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 5: and failed for a long time. And I think that 200 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 5: they're going to be in trouble no matter what. But 201 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 5: they have turned something that you would think would be 202 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 5: a more minor issue into a much larger, much longer 203 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 5: term issue, which I find surprising the lack of political 204 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 5: foresight that they have here. They've given Trump the news 205 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 5: cycle this whole week, to the point where as we said, 206 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer is saying it's because he doesn't want to 207 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 5: talk about Epstein. But how long are they going to 208 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 5: be pulling that one off that doesn't work. And also 209 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 5: to look at the numbers, the crime numbers they initially 210 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: kept comparing it to twenty twenty three. Comparing the drop 211 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 5: in crime to the year that had the single nationwide 212 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 5: largest increase in homicides in sixty years looks really disingenuous 213 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 5: to anybody who understands numbers and statistics, so that they're 214 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 5: having problems all over the place. 215 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: Well, I also think Scarborough's point is well taken. I 216 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: mean a Washington Post poll or did he say ninety 217 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: one percent of DC residents say crime is a problem, 218 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: and I think he said fifty six percent said it 219 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: was an incredibly significant problem. You can't lie to people 220 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: about what they feel. Eventually you can address the underlying concerns. 221 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example on this right now. The 222 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: economy is getting better under Trump. But I also understand 223 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: that explaining to people that the economy is getting better 224 00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: is sometimes challenging because it takes a while for the 225 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: national economic mood to shift and reflect what people are 226 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: actually seeing. I think some of you are feeling it. 227 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: Gas prices are down relative to where they have been, 228 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: Grocery prices according to the most recent producer price Index 229 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: numbers actually coming down. And so the challenge I think 230 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: is prices went up so fast that things still cost 231 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: more than people think they should. But we are rectifying 232 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: this issue in many different ways. It's just taking a 233 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: little while. And again, Trump has commandeered the national news 234 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: cycle now for four days over he wants to bring 235 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: down violent crime. Democrats have mostly said violent crime is 236 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: not that much of an issue. And now starting tomorrow, 237 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: all of the new cycle through the entire weekend is 238 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: going to be reacting to Trump and Putin and what 239 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: is likely to be occurring based on that relationship. So 240 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: all of that coming your way. But you know the 241 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: world is going a little bit upside down when even 242 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: a guy like Joe Scarborough is saying, hey, you're making 243 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: a lot of sense here. 244 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 5: Absolutely every day there are thousands of women across our 245 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 5: nation contending with an unplanned pregnancy. It's scary, overwhelming, and 246 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 5: a lot of the messaging pushes women to get abortions 247 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 5: under the guise of exercising their rights. As it stands now, 248 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 5: nearly one in four pregnancies ends in abortion. That's over 249 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 5: three thousand lives lost every single day. But through Preborn 250 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 5: Network clinics, there's hope. Preborn offers life for that child 251 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 5: and a level of understanding and compassion that pregnant mothers 252 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 5: may not get anywhere else. The preborn clinics also provide 253 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 5: free ultrasounds that introduce a mother to her baby, and 254 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 5: that moment changes everything. Over three hundred and fifty thousand 255 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 5: babies have already been saved through this life giving work. 256 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 5: So many mothers have an entirely new outlook and a 257 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 5: love in their heart, not an empty hole. Mothers like 258 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 5: Valeria who thought she didn't have to have her child 259 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 5: until her search led her to a Preborn Network clinic, 260 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 5: and now she has a beautiful daughter. This is happening 261 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 5: every day, and it's while your monthly support to preborn 262 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 5: is so critical. Just twenty eight dollars a month can 263 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 5: save a life, which is the price of that ultrasound. 264 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 5: Dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's 265 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 5: pound two five zero, say the word baby, or go 266 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 5: to preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn dot com 267 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 5: slash b u c K. 268 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 4: Making America great again isn't just one man, it's many. 269 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: The Team forty seven Podcast Sundays at noon Eastern in 270 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 4: the Clay and Buck podcast feed.

So 274 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 5: Clay this, there's a there's a the subway sandwich. 275 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: Did this Jay have sandwich assault? I think it happened 276 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: last night, According to FBI Director Cash Patel's twitter post, 277 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: I think Judge Janine talked about it. 278 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: This is what I was going to say. Let's hear 279 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: Judge Janine. 280 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 5: She discussed this subway sandwich assault that occurred play nine. 281 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 10: The President's message to the criminals was, if you spit, 282 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 10: we hit. 283 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: Well, we didn't quite. 284 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 10: Do that the other night when an individual went up 285 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 10: to one of the federal law enforcement officers and started 286 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 10: jumping up and down, screaming at him, berating him, yelling 287 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 10: at him, and then he took a subway sandwich about 288 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 10: this big and took it and threw it at the officer. 289 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: He thought it was funny. 290 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 10: Well he doesn't think it's funny today because we charged 291 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 10: it with a felony assault on a police officer and 292 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 10: we're going to back the police to the hilt. So there, 293 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 10: stick your subway sandwich somewhere else. 294 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Oh, judge, Janine is so good. I mean, 295 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: she's just so good. 296 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: I shared this video buck and it is a guy 297 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: in a pink polo. Just first of all, don't scream 298 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: at police officers, I. 299 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: Mean in general. 300 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: But then he takes like what appears to be like 301 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: a foot long sub and just throws it as hard 302 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: as he can at the police officer. And you can say, okay, like, 303 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: is this the most serious thing that's ever happened to 304 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: that police officer? 305 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: Surely not. 306 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: But when you send did you see this video? I 307 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: can't stop laughing at the video. 308 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 5: He's so casual too, as he's kind of he's not 309 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 5: even running away that fat well. 310 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: I think he thinks that that there are no consequences, right, 311 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: which has typically been true. You can throw water bottles 312 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: at police officers, you can spit on them. And I 313 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: think the actual symbolism of this is important because it 314 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: sends the message don't touch an officer, don't throw anything 315 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: at it. 316 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 5: Absolutely and officers have done in all honesty, all officers 317 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 5: have dealt with too much physical assault, disrespect, all kinds 318 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 5: of things. I still am fired up about the Antifa 319 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 5: lunatics during BLM out in Portland who are just shining 320 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 5: lasers in their eyes, trying to destroy their vision. 321 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's it's. 322 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 5: Something that you have to probably have the laser your 323 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 5: eye a little longer than these guys are able to do. Yeah, 324 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 5: but if somebody's trying to blind me, I think very 325 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 5: extreme force in response to that is completely justified. So 326 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 5: and none of those guys got serious punishments for that. 327 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 5: So this is a good change in the approach. It's 328 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 5: just the fact that guy wore a pink I mean, look, hey, 329 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 5: I'm a pink polo kind of guy myself. I'm not 330 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 5: throwing I'm not throwing sandwiches over the pink polo. I'm 331 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 5: just saying, if you're gonna throw the sandwich at the cop, 332 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 5: don't do it wearing a pig polo. 333 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: Well, and look, I give them credit because the video 334 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: is going viral and we'll have some more fun with this, 335 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: by the way, because I can't stop laughing about watching 336 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: the video. College campus is filling up again. Kids headed 337 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: back to school. If you've got a son or a 338 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: daughter off to college. How about self protection from Saber. 339 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: Sabre website is saberradio dot com.

Lots of 352 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: reaction rolling into Pink Polo and his subway attack assault 353 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: on an officer, But I do think it's somewhat representative 354 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: of a certain left wing response to increase police officers 355 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: in DC. There are protests now that are developing against 356 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: police officers being able to protect people from being murdered, 357 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: and I just I look at this and I do 358 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: think buck, what Trump kind of is brilliantly exploiting in 359 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: some way is the disconnect from the people who are 360 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: the limousine liberal universe, as Rushwood call them, who typically 361 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: have their own private security, They have their own universe 362 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: that tends to be far safer, where the rules are 363 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: enforced and law is respected. And then most of those people, 364 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: by the way, live in Northwest d C, Which, for 365 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, is by the wealthiest 366 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: part of the Washington DC area. And then there's all 367 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: the other people who tend to live in southeast and 368 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: live in a lawless in many ways society, and they're 369 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: begging for help and Trump is giving it to them, 370 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: and the pink Polos of the world are furious that 371 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: there are police officers out on the streets. I do 372 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: think that that video that has gone megaviral is somewhat 373 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: evocative of that disconnect, because in general, I think it 374 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: represents like, if you have that level of disrespect for 375 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: a police officer, it's probably because you don't feel personally 376 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: threatened by violence. And that's the only reason I can 377 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: think of why you're screaming at a police officer standing 378 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: on the street trying to enforce the law. But I 379 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: do think that Joe Scarborough commentary and that video just 380 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: really kind of illustrate in a very quick manner what 381 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: Trump has pointed out, which is most people on the 382 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: left don't actually care about violence because it doesn't impact 383 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: their daily life. 384 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they recognize that Republicans have staked out for 385 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 5: a long time now the position of we do need 386 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 5: to just enforce the law, We need to back police, 387 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 5: and we need to incarcerate people where none of this 388 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 5: stuff gets better and every time they're able to have 389 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 5: it their way or every time that experiment is wrong 390 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 5: with that in mind, things do get better, things do improve. 391 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 4: Uh. 392 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: So we we. 393 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 5: Own this territory, so to speak, as Republicans and Democrats 394 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 5: don't want to seed ever that we are correct. It's subburn, 395 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 5: it's it's a bit of bitterness too thrown in there. 396 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 5: And as you say, it's because so many of these 397 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 5: people And it was like I was, I was taking 398 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 5: some shots at what was George will with the vote 399 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 5: tie the other day. 400 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it Chevy lives in Chevy Chase. 401 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 5: Chevy Chase is not is not DC DC, right, I 402 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 5: mean this is this is like people. There are areas 403 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 5: I've been to suburbs of Baltimore beautiful people have like farms, 404 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 5: and I mean it's lovely, you know, it's really nice. 405 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 5: That's not Baltimore, even if it's Baltimore County whatever, it is. 406 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: Right. 407 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 5: So a lot of people I think that weigh in 408 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 5: on this stuff too, they say. As a New Yorker, 409 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 5: I'm particularly sensitive to this. People say, oh, you know, 410 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 5: I think New York is really safe, and like, where 411 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 5: do you live, Chappaquah, you don't know, you know nothing. 412 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 5: Where do you let Scarsdale? Yeah, I'm like, I'm I'm 413 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 5: Scarsdale safe. I'm not worried about Scarsdale, but you know, 414 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 5: go spend some time in the South. Bronxon, talk to 415 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 5: me about how safe the city is. Although New York 416 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 5: Manhattan is pretty safe for a large city, Boston, I believe, 417 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 5: is a good bit safer for a a sizable city. 418 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 5: So there's really substantial differences here when you look at it. 419 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 5: I was surprised Houston's actually got more of a crime. 420 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 5: You don't hear about it a lot. I was looking 421 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 5: at some of the stats Houston has a rougher time 422 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 5: with crime with side specifically and shootings that I had 423 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 5: to anticipate. It doesn't get a lot of news coverage. 424 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 5: But that was another city because obviously one of the 425 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 5: biggest cities in the country that came up that definitely 426 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 5: needs some help. 427 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: I think they have BORROWSDA or at least they used to. 428 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: One of the challenges on the data is where I 429 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: live is Williamson County, right, I think south of Nashville. 430 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: I think I don't know, there's like three hundred thousand 431 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: people or something who live in my county. Basically it's Nashville. 432 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: There's a murder rate essentially here of zero. There might 433 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: have been one or two murders in the whole county 434 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: in a year. And so one of the challenges you 435 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: get into to be fair on some of this data 436 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: is some cities only count a certain part of the 437 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: city and it could be a big, sprawling metropolis. And 438 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: so I wonder on Houston, which is the fourth biggest 439 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: city in the country, right, it's a huge, sprawling metropolis. 440 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: That's why I think the New York data is so 441 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: interesting because New York City has what eight million people 442 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: who live in the five boroughs of New York City 443 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken roughly, and you compare that eight 444 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: million with the seven hundred thousand or so that live 445 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: in d C, and DC per capita is out of control. Now, 446 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: some people would say, well, if you count Montgomery County 447 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: and you count Arlington and all the surrounding areas, d 448 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: C would look a lot less violent than it does 449 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: when you only count the District of Columbia by itself. So, 450 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: for instance, Shelby County where Memphis is, is insanely violent, 451 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: but if you counted all of the surrounding metropolitan area 452 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 1: of Memphis, it would dial back some of the violence 453 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. So my point on that is sometimes 454 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: the data is an entirely illustrative of the full picture. 455 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: But I do think d C, which exists in this 456 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: unique world where it's just a federal district. To your point, 457 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: the George Wills of the world, they live just across 458 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: the border in Maryland and they're like, there is no 459 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: crime here. You're like, well, yeah, George, you probably haven't 460 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: been to Southeast DC in forty years, unless you count 461 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: going to the Washington Nationals. Like right on the edge. 462 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: I think of southeast a little bit is where the 463 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: baseball stadium is there. So it is in many ways 464 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: something that I think the elite, the wealthy of DC 465 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: just pretend doesn't exist because it doesn't come into their 466 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: universe very often. And remember this has been a big 467 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: issue in DC for a long time. They kept the 468 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: subway from going to Georgetown because they didn't want people 469 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: who were poor to have easy access to people who 470 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: were rich. 471 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 2: In d C. It is a huge deal. They didn't 472 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: want the subway. 473 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: Anybody who's been there, you have to get out at 474 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: GW and walk up or you have to now take 475 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: obviously an uber or walk across the river from Virginia. 476 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: They tried to protect themselves from the lesser class who 477 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: couldn't afford their multimillion dollar Georgetown mansions. It is very interesting. 478 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: All those people vote left, all those people were combal 479 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: of voters, but boy, they really don't want violent crime 480 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: to have easy access to them, do they. 481 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 5: And yet Georgetown does have its spillover of It's a 482 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 5: lot safer than other parts of the city, of course, 483 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 5: but there's stuff that happens in Georgetown that is that 484 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 5: you'd be shocked for this to occur. In the nicest 485 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 5: neighborhood of other cities. So look, Trump is right on this, 486 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 5: and Democrats can do whatever they want with this, with 487 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 5: the squawking and the and the screaming, and. 488 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 2: They can they can throw a fit. 489 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 5: At the end of the day, Trump has latched onto 490 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 5: yet another issue, has has put forward another program and 491 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 5: set of policies where anybody who is being honest about 492 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 5: it is saying, yeah, that that seems more, that seems sensible. 493 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 5: And they have already been doing a number of arrests. 494 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 5: They're taking dangerous people off the. 495 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 2: Off the streets. 496 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 5: So I think that you might it's gonna say, it's 497 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 5: not gonna be a huge change in the crime data, 498 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 5: it will have a positive effect. Our subway assaulter is 499 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 5: was a Department of Justice employee. 500 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: And this is the kind I mean. This is what 501 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: Attorney General Pam Bondi tweeted just a little bit ago. 502 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: I just learned this defendant worked at the Department of 503 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: Justice no longer. Bondi said, in all caps, this is 504 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: an example of the deep state we have been up 505 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: against for seven months. As we work to refocus DJ, 506 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: you will not work in this administration while disrespecting our 507 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: government and law enforcement. And so this individual is named 508 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get his name, Sean 509 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: Charles Dunn, and he was a DOJ employee. But I 510 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: do think do you think that guy in DJ was 511 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: aggressively enforcing Trump DOJ policies? I bet that he was 512 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: a diehard commalist supporter. That's why he was screaming at 513 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: the judge and I mean screaming at the officer, and 514 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: why he felt like he could just pull back a 515 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: sub and throw it. Because to be fair, how many 516 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: times have you seen videos of police officers just taking 517 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: objects being pelted at these BLM protests for instance, nothing 518 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: ever happened. You just got guys standing there, water bottles 519 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: hitting them, all sorts of pepper spray sometimes. I mean, so, 520 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: I do think this is a change of policy. The 521 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: guy thought, hey, nothing's gonna happen to me. I'm just 522 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: gonna throw this at the officer, and you know it 523 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: is it is going to be interesting. That happened Sunday night, 524 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: Northwest DC and he was arrested Wednesday night. 525 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: Do we know what sparked the Sandwich confrontation. 526 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: The report is that he was angry over too many 527 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: police officers and screaming at the police officers for standing around, 528 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: and that was what eventually led him. I mean, I 529 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 1: assume I watch this video and the way he ran, yeah, 530 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: that's my assumption. I mean, it doesn't look like something 531 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: that a sober guy would do. So I'm assuming the 532 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,959 Speaker 1: guy whod been out somewhere probably had too many drinks, 533 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: was a leftist got angry at a police officer, thought 534 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: that there would be no consequences because there haven't been 535 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: really any consequences for leftists who do anything to police 536 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: officers for years. And as the kids say, f a 537 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: and now he's f owing. 538 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm shocked that this guy would think that this 539 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 5: is going to go in any you know, doing this 540 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 5: at any point in time is unwise. To do it 541 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 5: right now given the focus on this nationalist is is 542 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 5: pretty crazy. But you know, there are people who believe 543 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 5: this stuff about how this is this is martial law 544 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 5: or the militarization of police, and this is part of 545 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 5: There are less of them now than there have been, 546 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 5: but there are still people out there who think that 547 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 5: Trump is about to declare himself like dictator for life, 548 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 5: and this is part of that move. 549 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: So you can see this stuff. 550 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 5: Online, but imagine working at the DOJ and think that's 551 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 5: what I'm saying. 552 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 2: This is the part of it that's really bizarre to me. 553 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 5: And also not understanding or or being able to think 554 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 5: about the consequences in advance of assaulting a police officer 555 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 5: in the current environment like that when you work for 556 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 5: the Department of Justice. I mean, he would you would 557 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 5: hope that he would know that it is technically a 558 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 5: felony to physically assault the police officer who on duty. 559 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you would think you would know that. 560 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 5: I think that this is an example of how you 561 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 5: have protected people for leftist political thought. I think he 562 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 5: thought that he was above the law, and I think 563 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 5: he has now found out that there's a lot so 564 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 5: many subway samwich jokes that you can make. But where 565 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 5: are you on side? So I really can't because of 566 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 5: Celiac disease. Unfortunately, I really can't experience the full glories 567 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 5: of the subway sandwich. Where are you on that? I 568 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 5: love subway, I eat there. I never I have never 569 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 5: had a subway sandwich that I can remember. 570 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 2: Ever in your life. I like subway. 571 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: I like Jimmy John's, I like all of the you know, 572 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: you give me a sandwich with chips and a soda, 573 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: it's to me the perfect meal. 574 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: I understand. What is the best of the sandwich I get? 575 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get either the meatball sub at Subway, which 576 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: I think is very good, or I get my tubs 577 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: my my sub toasted, and I get my favorite is 578 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: sweet onion chicken tarioki sub. So those are the two 579 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: my typical go to if I'm now I'm getting hungry. 580 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: And if Subway just got a huge advertisement from us 581 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: that they were never planning on thanks to that moron 582 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: throwing a Subway sandwich at the at the cop But 583 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. I like Subway. I think relatively speaking, 584 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: it's it's healthy. You know, they had that one guy 585 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: who lost a lot of money that I've lost a 586 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: lot of weight. Unfortunately he ended up being a pedophile. 587 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: I think, right well, that was an unexpected twist in 588 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: the in the weight loss story. But you know, I mean, 589 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: I do think that they do a good job of 590 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: letting you count calories, which is not necessarily very easy 591 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: in much of the fast food universe. 592 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: So I like them. 593 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 5: Speaking of energy on the days you need some chalk 594 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 5: is what you need.
