1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: Our three Clay and Buck kicks off right now, and 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,799 Speaker 2: we're going to bring you up to speed with the 5 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: latest here on the ABIDING administration response to the drone 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 2: attack in Jordan. They're reporting on this has been that 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 2: they misidentified a returning throne to a US base in Jordan. 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: This part of Jordan is kind of tucked up in 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: the northeast where you have Syria right next door and 10 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: Iraq right next door. So it's a tough neighborhood geopolitically, 11 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: you could say, and so initially there was confusion about 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: or there wasn't certainty about who hit us or even 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: from where. Now, Clay, the latest is it seems that 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: a group called Kataiv Hesbaalah operating out of Iraq, although 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: they've also been operating in Syria as well. They think 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: they struck them from Iraq. They're a Shia Shia Muslim 17 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: terrorist group backed by Iran and they have been attacking 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: US and coalition interest in the region for many years. 19 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: So that's the perpetrator as far as we know right now, 20 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: Now we get to what the response will be. You 21 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: no doubt saw Tucker over the weekend tweeting out that 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: the people calling for strikes on Iran specifically were lunatics, 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: and he he added some salty language to the lunatics designation. 24 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: I believe that was one part of it. And then 25 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: you've also seen this happened. I think we have Joy 26 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: Reid right last night on her show saying, well, it's bleeped, 27 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: but you'll figure it out from the context. This was 28 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: live on air on MSNBC last and last night talking 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: about this drone attack play twenty weekend. 30 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: President Biden said he's ready to take action if Congress 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: is serious about solving the border issue. 32 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: That biller the law today. 33 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: I'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly, 34 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: and Congress needs to get it done. 35 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: War still trying to kill the deal. He bragged about 36 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: blocking progress and said please please blame him as it fails. 37 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard that, but clearly she 38 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: was in a so just so you understand that the 39 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: technicalities here or the technical realities she was they have 40 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: a SOT sound on tape was playing on her show, 41 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: and they're supposed to drop her mic, meaning that her 42 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: microphone is no longer transmitting, but sometimes with a SOT 43 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: they won't. And she just said what she said there, 44 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: thinking that her mic wasn't going to pick it up, 45 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: that the only people at home would see that they 46 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: would only see the Biden sound on tape, meaning the 47 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: video clip. And so we heard what she has to 48 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: say about it. Okay, So Clay, that's that's one thing. 49 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 2: Notice though, way more what I want to say this firs. No, 50 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna. 51 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: Say astoundingly there has been and I'm probably jinxing us 52 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: in the three some odd years. 53 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: No, you are not about to say, I think, come 54 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: in to jenxus. 55 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: Neither one of us has cursed on the radio in 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: three some odd years. 57 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: If either of us, you know, it is Clay's fault. 58 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: By the way, because you never talk about this on 59 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: a radio show. 60 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: We have never cursed on the air, which is an 61 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: amazing accomplishment so far. And I certainly jinx this right 62 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: now and there to my knowledge, has never been a 63 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: off air comment air. 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: During the show. 65 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: The reason why I'm bringing this up is in general, 66 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: I don't like this is going This will happen to 67 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: almost any show at some point in time over the 68 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: course of a show. What's interesting to me, Buck is 69 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: when what airs is different than what would be said. 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: That's when it's a story, right, Like if you or 71 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: I off air are audio heard and we're saying kind 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: of the same thing, maybe just in a little bit 73 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: more riskue fashion than we would typically say given FCC restrictions. 74 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: Clay and I sound the same all the time, but 75 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: we're adults who do occasionally curse. We're not on the radio, 76 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: but everything else is exactly what you would expect. But 77 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: so it's not. 78 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: It's when there's a distance between what you would say 79 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: on air and what you would say off air, not 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: just in language, but in overall argument. And that, to 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: me is what makes this interesting for joy Reed, right, 82 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: is that she's saying something different to off air audience 83 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: than she would on air. Oh. 84 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah. So she's playing this clip of Biden's coming back. 85 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: She's like, well, Biden's going to handle this fantastic. He's like, yeah, 86 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: the area is going to start another war like the 87 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: clown that he you know, right, she knows even she 88 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: knows that you can't trust this administration to handle something 89 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: like this. Tony blinkin who I have it on good authority? 90 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: From people I know that are still in the government. 91 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: Is one of. 92 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: The most unimpressive individuals you can think of to have 93 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: held a cabinet position in a long time. You could 94 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: say he is the the peach Buddha judge of the 95 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: State Department, as in. 96 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: That guy's in charge. Really wow. But here he is 97 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: letting everybody know the actual Secretary of State for now 98 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: Tony blinken that they will this is cut one, that 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: the response will be decisive. 100 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: We will respond decisively to any aggression, and we will 101 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: hold responsible the people who attacked our troops will do 102 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: so at a time and a place of our choosing. 103 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: So there are three basic options here. Wall Street Journal 104 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: laid this out today, but this is obvious. It's not 105 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: like a Wall Street Journal was figuring this out late 106 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: into the night. You can hit the people who hit you, 107 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: meaning the proxies. You can hit the Iranians who backed 108 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: the proxyes. So that might be some kind of a 109 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 2: you know, some kind of strike on military facilities in Iran, 110 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: naval facilities in the open ocean, something like, you know, 111 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 2: naval ships in the ocean. Or you can do something economic, 112 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: which is no, no, that's not gonna do anything, right, 113 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: but that those are really the options here. But I 114 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: think laying that out somebody can probably figure out from 115 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: my tone, Clay, they're not really going to do anything. 116 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: And now a worst thing would be to do something 117 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: that starts a war, to be clear. So I do 118 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: think that striking Iran would be something that's an escalation, 119 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: like hitting Iran on their soil in a way that 120 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 2: would really hurt. I think that's an escalation that we 121 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: don't need and is a bad idea. But I mean 122 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: hitting the proxies, okay, so we'll bomb some you know, 123 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: we're they're going to end up losing some facilities out 124 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: in the desert of Iraq. Basically, I think that's all 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: that's going to end up happening here. So question for you. 126 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: October seventh, the terror attack Hamas is Slaughter's twelve hundred 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: innocent Israelis. We're now about to hit February this week. 128 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: We will, and the response from Israel is still ongoing 129 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: inside of Gaza. 130 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: And the West Bank. As we discussed before, they're hitting 131 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: them in the West Bank too. 132 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so this is ongoing and we're now what 133 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 1: was that November December, January, February now four months into 134 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: the Israeli response to this attack on October seventh, and 135 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: that is the precipitating factor under which American soldiers are 136 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: also being targeted because of the United States connection to Israel, 137 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: and that has created all of this mushroom cloud for 138 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: lack of a better phrasing, that has happened in the 139 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: Middle East. How many more months does this continue? Buck 140 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: in your mind if you were analyzing it. And the 141 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: reason why I bring it up is obviously you have 142 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: a CII background, you can analyze this. But you just 143 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: heard me talking with Ryan Gurdusky. If you look at 144 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: the presidential politics. Next week we will officially hit nine 145 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: months until the election. And I do think that there 146 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: are Jewish people listening to us right now who are 147 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: going to change the way that they were vote, that 148 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: they would have voted based on October seventh. I believe 149 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: that we'll see in nine months whether that's correct or not. 150 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: And I also think there are Arab voters in the 151 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: United States that are unhappy with the Democrat You just 152 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: heard Ryan Gerdsky say this might be the beginning of 153 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: the end of the relationship between Jewish Americans and the 154 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: Democrat Party, which has typically represented them over the fact 155 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: that there are way more Arabs now in the United 156 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: States than Jews. So Buck, in that context, how many 157 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: more months do you think this goes on? And do 158 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: you think this story in general is going to continue 159 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: to be an issue by the time people go to 160 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: the ballot box in November. 161 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: I think my belief, Clay on this is that this 162 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: will have by the summer died down to the point 163 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: where it won't be much of a consideration at all 164 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: in the election, just because the Israelis have done most 165 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 2: of the heavy fighting they're going to do in Gaza 166 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 2: at this point. They don't care what the Internet, they 167 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 2: quote international community says about it. They just did this 168 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: undercover raid. It's basically a hint. I mean, it's a 169 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: target it strike and assassination, whatever you want to call it. 170 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,239 Speaker 2: But they sent guys in playing clothes into a hospital 171 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: in the West Bank and they killed three bad guys. 172 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: Because these Raelies aren't playing games, They're they're gonna do 173 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: what they have to do to defend themselves. 174 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: Uh. 175 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: In the aftermath of October seventh, they're hitting military targets, 176 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 2: but you know they're using subterfuge on the battlefield to 177 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: accomplish that, and so I think that there's not going 178 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: to be nearly the focus on this that there has been. Also, 179 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: you know, we've we have these these outposts really in 180 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: Iraq and Syria, these very isolated US military bases. You know, 181 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: they get hit occasionally or with with what they call 182 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 2: IDF indirect fire, so they'll be hit with uh, you know, mortars, rockets, 183 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: things like that. It's really just to you know, unnerve 184 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: the base. Rarely does it actually result in what we 185 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: saw here. They they managed to sneak through there are 186 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: you know, they have air defenses and radar and things 187 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 2: at these at these installations, they snuck through a pretty 188 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: sizable explosive of payload on a drone. They killed three 189 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: and they wounded a couple of dozen others. I mean, 190 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: this was a this was a big explosion that went off. 191 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: So they got us on this one. I think that 192 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: the question going forward is going to be more how 193 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: long do we plan to have US military presence in 194 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: the region, because it does bring to people's mind the 195 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: ongoing peacekeeping mission that we tried to play in Lebanon 196 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: back in the Reagan days, and Hesbela hit US at 197 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: the Marine barracks and killed hundreds of marines with with 198 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: the mass truck suicide bombing attack. Right, So, you know, 199 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: I think that longer term, there's the question about are 200 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: we going to start to just realize that we don't 201 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: need to have this forward deployed presence in this way, 202 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: and then it just turns into you know, if you 203 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: step out of line, we're going to hit whatever it 204 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: is with air strikes, and that's that's going to be it. 205 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: I mean, we're not going to think twice about the 206 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: damage that will have to be done as a result 207 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 2: of it. I don't think it's going to move the 208 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: politics here at home very much at all, because there's 209 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: so many other factors that are at play. And I 210 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: think that people every single I'll tell you this, every 211 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: single person who's out there in any way in solidarity 212 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: with Palestine or talking about how it's a genocide in Gaza. 213 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: They are the left wing base of the Democrat Party, 214 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: right so there, I mean, they were going to vote 215 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 2: that way anyway, this notion of the Muslim community because 216 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: of Michigan, I think deciding what are they gonna do? 217 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: They're Gonnavote Republican and maybe some of them stay home, 218 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 2: but I think there are enough other issues that are 219 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 2: important to them that they will likely continue to vote 220 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: Democrat anyway. That's just my read on it. 221 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: But as for the situation with Iran, I mean, Clay, 222 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: we have been meeting the US dealing with this thing 223 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: now for forty some odd years. 224 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: Since the revolution in seventy nine. In seventy nine, and 225 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: we've been talking about, oh, maybe they'll democratize, maybe they'll 226 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: be an overthrow, maybe they'll be you know, the answer 227 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 2: is the Iranian regime is you know, probably has another 228 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: twenty or thirty years in it as is, and we 229 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: just got to keep them from messing up everything for 230 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: the rest of us. I mean, it's a shame the 231 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: Iranian people. I think there's plenty of evidence that, especially 232 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: the younger generation in Iran. It's got a lot of 233 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: people who are they like Americans, which we really hear, 234 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: but they're pro American. Certainly Persians in this country I 235 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: think appreciate America because of what they left behind, you know, 236 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: the tyranny they left behind. But you know, this is 237 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: why all this talk about what are we going to 238 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: do with Iran. It's kind of like North Korea. You 239 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: just try to contain it. But I don't think there's 240 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: a solve. There's no solving this problem. And that's not 241 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: that's not something that people hear and feel like there's 242 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: a satisfying answer there. But that is the answer. There's 243 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: nothing we're gonna do that's going to solve this. We 244 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: just want to keep it from spiraling out of control. 245 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: All of you out By the way, We've got a 246 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: fun clip that we're going to play for you when 247 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: we come back. It's Lebron James book report. We were 248 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: talking earlier about Taylor Swift and all the celebrities out 249 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: there getting involved in politics. Lebron James being quizzed about 250 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: reading the autobiography of my Malcolm X. I guarantee you're 251 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: gonna love this. And maybe back in the day, there's 252 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: a video tape of you out there talking about a 253 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: book you didn't read. Maybe maybe possibly remember all the 254 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: reports you had to do. Was it reading Rainbow? Remember 255 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: watching that back in the day in your classrooms. I 256 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: was flying home Sunday from South Florida. I set next 257 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: to I thought it was so cool. I set next 258 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: to a woman who's now the principal of the elementary 259 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: school that I went to, no idea. She I don't 260 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: think had any idea what I did or anything else. 261 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: But I went to a school called Gilitzveell Elementary. And 262 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: you know what's cool. When I was in first grade, 263 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: we did a time capsule. We put all this old 264 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: stuff into the time capsule nineteen eighty five, and it's 265 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: going to get opened next year, in twenty twenty five. 266 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: So I was asking that the principle about was the 267 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: time capsule still there? What are the processes under which 268 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: the time capsule is going to get opened? I remember 269 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: writing something and putting it in there. I think we 270 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: were supposed to predict what the world would look like. 271 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: It's like going back in time. And you know that's 272 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: what family history often is too. Those camquarter tapes that 273 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: you have. You're going back in time to maybe family 274 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: members who are no longer with you, Impressive Thanksgivings, Christmas, 275 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: maybe Easter, New Year's times that you spent with really 276 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: close family members on those old VHS tapes And just like, 277 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what's in that time capsule 278 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty five.

I think you 294 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: guys will enjoy that conversation. Even though he's wrong about 295 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama. Clearly I wanted to hit you with this. 296 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,239 Speaker 1: There is an investigation now that has been opened into 297 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: to Corey Bush. She is a Saint Louis, Missouri area congresswoman. 298 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: Who has been among the most aggressive out there in 299 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: arguing to defund the police. The irony, of course, is 300 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: that many of the most aggressive defund the police advocates 301 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: regularly employ private security and or live behind walls engated communities. 302 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: The allegations against Corey bush Buck, as they are outstanding 303 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: right now and she has denied them to be fair, 304 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: are that she paid her husband, I believe, sixty thousand 305 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: dollars in private security costs when he is not actually 306 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: a private security guard, and that those were done with 307 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: taxpayer funds she definitely spent. She was one of all 308 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: the congress people out there, all the politicians out there, 309 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: one of the highest spenders on private security. And so 310 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: now there are reports that she is being investigated by 311 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice defund the Police stalwart Corey Busch 312 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: for illegally spending campaign funds on her own private security, 313 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: including money that went to her husband. So, you know, 314 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: it's amazing how often this happens, that the people who 315 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: don't want you to be able to get police to 316 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: help you are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of 317 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: dollars in tax payer money to make sure that they 318 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: are safe. 319 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: It's amazing, isn't it. You just want to say, sometimes, hey, 320 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: elected officials just don't do really blatantly corrupt illegal stuff. 321 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 2: You know, Can you hold off on the blatantly corrupt 322 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: illegal stuff until you're no longer in a position of 323 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 2: public trust at least? The answer is no. The answer 324 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: is no, But you know you want to ask them anyway. 325 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Even when you know you're going to be scrutinized. Like this, Buck, this, 326 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: this is what I'm saying. I mean, it's yeah, it's 327 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: just it's preposterous. But this is where we are. This 328 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: is what we're seeing. 329 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: All right. Look, do yourself and your household budget a 330 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 2: big favor.

We just have this 353 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: hot off the press, so to speak. Here is Corey 354 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: Bush explaining what she says. Congresswoman Bush says happened here. Players. 355 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 4: Since before I was sworn into office, I have endured 356 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 4: relentless threats to my physical safety and life. As a 357 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 4: rank and file member of Congress, I am not entitled 358 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 4: to personal protection by the House, and instead have used 359 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 4: campaign funds as permissible to retain security services I have 360 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 4: not used any federal tax dollars for personal security services. 361 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 4: In particular, the nature of these allegations have been around 362 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 4: my husband's role on the campaign. In accordance with all 363 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 4: applicable rules, I retained my husband as part of my 364 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 4: security team to provide security services because he has had 365 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 4: extensive experience in this area and is able to provide 366 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 4: the necessary services at or below fair market rate. 367 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 2: Okay, Can I just so she hired her husband to 368 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: be her security guard and use campaign funds to do it. Okay, 369 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: That's that's what's happened here. She's admitting this. This is 370 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: what she's saying. I think we all see this for 371 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: what it is. She's gonna get away with it. I know, 372 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: that's just. Nothing's gonna happen to her as a result 373 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: of this. There may be some you know, oh, she 374 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 2: shouldn't have done this, but who cares? What about the 375 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: sheer audacity to do this? By the way, I mean 376 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: for everybody out there who is married, can you imagine 377 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: being paid to protect your wife sixty thousand dollars of 378 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: tax payer money? But you just have to be such. 379 00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: A dirt bag to even think to do this. But 380 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: first of all, it's humiliating. If you're with your wife, 381 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: you should be trying to protect her all the time 382 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: as a part of just being a decent human being 383 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: and husband, right, But to then get paid for it, 384 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: and then to come out and argue that you're somehow 385 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: the victim because your husband made sixty thousand dollars to 386 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: protect you because he has experience, Like, why can't your 387 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: husband just do that as part of naturally being a husband. 388 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: I mean, just think about it. For any man out there, 389 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: if you have a wife that has any kind of 390 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: prominent job, wouldn't you feel like a total deadbeat loser 391 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: and a grifter extraordinary if your wife paid you to 392 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: protect her. It's just I mean, I do think Buck 393 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: that she'll try to get away with it, and maybe 394 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: because it's Saint Louis, Missouri theoretically where they would bring 395 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: the charges, or it's Washington, DC where they would bring 396 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: the charges, and you're gonna get a rig jury in 397 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: favor of Democrats, and she'll get up on the stand 398 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: and she'll cry about how many people are to her 399 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: and how she had to have security. I mean, I'm 400 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: not even arguing about whether or not she needs security, 401 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: although I would argue that almost no one knows who 402 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: Corey Bush is, and that if you and me, who 403 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: are probably way more famous than Corey Bush, can move 404 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: about daily life with no security at all, that she's 405 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: probably fine. But she could have hired security. Just don't 406 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: pay your husband to do it. And by the way, 407 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: if you have a security guard and your husband is 408 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: also with you providing free security, as every husband should, 409 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: if anybody tries to do anything to their wife or girlfriend, 410 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: or your mom or any other woman, I got a 411 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: crazy idea. I think men should in general try to 412 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: protect women without having to be paid for it, especially 413 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: if it's the women you love that are in your life. 414 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: So this is just such a dirt bag, grifting, indefensible move, 415 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: and most in the media are not going to cover 416 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: it at all. 417 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: That's Do you agree with me, though, that nothing's going 418 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: to happen to her over this? 419 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: I think she'll I think she'll probably plead, you know, 420 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: like in no no lo contendery, no contest, misapprehension of 421 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: of or misallocation of resources and pay of you know, 422 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars fine or something like that. Yes, there's 423 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: no significant consequences. I agree with you that are going 424 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: to come her way, And I don't I mean, I 425 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: don't know what her district in terms of whether somebody 426 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: would step up and challenge her. I'm sure it's a 427 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: super Democrat district, right, so it would have to be 428 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: a challenger who would beat her in the Democrat primary. 429 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: I don't know whether there's somebody that would rise up 430 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: and be willing to do that. I have no idea 431 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: what her twenty twenty four status would potentially be. But 432 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: remember what a congress people make nowadays? 433 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: Buck? What is it like one and fifty y? Is 434 00:23:59,080 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: it over two hundred? Now? 435 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: I think it's somebody our staff look it up. I 436 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: think they gave themselves raises. I think it's over two 437 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year. So she could have spent 438 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: this money. She just couldn't give the money to her husband. 439 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: She just had to find somebody else in the security detail, 440 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: because I think if I remember correctly, but she has 441 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on security. 442 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: It's one hundred and seventy four grand is the base salary? Yeah, 443 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 2: but there's a not other two hundred. Now, those other 444 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: things that if you're the speaker. If you're you know, 445 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 2: senior leadership, you get paid more of that kind of stuff. Also, 446 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting. Corey Bush just in the 447 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 2: last few hours shared this link out or shared this 448 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 2: stat It's kind of like in a meme form on 449 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: her Twitter account. Do you see this. This is what 450 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 2: it says. It's from Corey Bush. This was just at 451 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 2: the start of the show today. Black women are three 452 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 2: times more likely to die as a result of intimate 453 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 2: partner abuse than white women. This is the stat that 454 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 2: she's sharing. What is what is the point that she 455 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 2: is making by sharing that stat? No idea like why? 456 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: I mean, what is the client like? So she's saying 457 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: what exactly with this? 458 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: I just thought that, well, I mean, the data would 459 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: reflect black women are under more danger than white women 460 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: because black men are more violent than white men in general. 461 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: They're obviously mixed race couples. But it's a super strange 462 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: thing to share. But that actually is just reflective of 463 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: the larger criminal data, which is just Blacks are more 464 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: likely to engage in violent behavior. So is she she's 465 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: sharing this, I believe because she thinks it shows like 466 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: systemic racism or or you know that there's some Oh yeah, 467 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: this is you know, this is a a like a 468 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: she's talking about the lassage of a vestige of the 469 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: awfully awful racism of America. 470 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: But I mean overwhelmingly if you were to actually look 471 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 2: at this data, which you'd find is that Corey Bush 472 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 2: is sharing out that black women, who are predominantly in 473 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: same race relationships are sobstantially more likely to be killed 474 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 2: by the person they're in a relationship with than white women. Yes, 475 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 2: but this is how important it is to her to 476 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: share the narrative of you know, systemic racism and shares 477 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: a bitact that cult people come away with a conclusion 478 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: or rather come away thinking about things differently than what 479 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: I think how she thinks about things. 480 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: No, you're right, you and I immediately see that and say, 481 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: of course that would make sense because black men engage 482 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: in violent acts of criminality far more frequently than other 483 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: members of any other race do. And the data point 484 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: which nobody ever wants to talk about, over half of 485 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: all murders are committed by six percent of the population. 486 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: Black men, roughly six percent of the population commit over 487 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: half of all murders. And by the way, you can 488 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: dial that back it's actually black men ages sixteen to forty, 489 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: because most violent acts are committed by men ages sixteen 490 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: to forty. But I don't know what percentage of the 491 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: black male population would be sixteen to forty. It's probably 492 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: two percent of the overall population is committing over half 493 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: of all murders. 494 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it would be almost like sharing. 495 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: You know that I'm guessing, but I think it's a 496 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: very I should say estimating, not really guessing that over 497 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: ninety percent of shooting victims on the South Side of Chicago, 498 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: for example, are black. 499 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: But if you're sharing that to make a case about 500 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: systemic racism, you're you're missing a key piece of what 501 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: that data. Also, you know the other part of that data, 502 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: which is who's doing the shootings. Yeah, by the way, 503 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: you know one hundred percent. Darryl in Joplin, Missouri also 504 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 2: wants to add another detail here, which is why this 505 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: is also being investigated. I have read this as well, 506 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: Daryl in Joplin, Missouri. What did you want to share 507 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 2: with us also about this Cory Bush situation. 508 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 5: Afternoon, Guys, Corey Bush's husband is not a license in 509 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 5: the state of Missouri provide that particular type of security 510 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 5: and also he's not licensed in you've been. 511 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for the call. So no, he's one 512 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: hundred percent right, that is the Also other aspect of 513 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: this claim is that in addition to the fact that 514 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: she paid her husband sixty thousand dollars to provide private security, 515 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: which again I would ask every husband out there, you 516 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: should immediately just think, man, that is dirty. That's just 517 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: a way to funnel more cash into their family coffers. Right, 518 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: is he getting paid to provide private security for her 519 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: when they go out to dinner, when they take vacations, 520 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: when they go I would love to see where he 521 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: was providing that private security, right, But as the caller 522 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: pointed out, the allegation is buck that he is also 523 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: not actually licensed as a private security guard in either Missouri, 524 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: where they live, or Washington, d C. Where she works, 525 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: So the grifting is even next level. Leaving aside the 526 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: fact that as a man, the fact that you're being 527 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: paid your wife to provide private security for her is 528 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: super weird and you should be doing that, I think 529 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: is just the nature of being a husband. To be fair, 530 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: I think Laura would would knock a guy out if 531 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: she had to, though, So you know she's she's fierce 532 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: to be fair, but very fierce to be fair. Laura 533 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: would also prefer that there actually be a private security 534 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: guard protecting her if she were super famous, as opposed 535 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: to me. 536 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: I think so. 537 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: I think she would want a professional. I don't know 538 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: that she would consider me to be a stalwart, brawny 539 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: brawler who was going to protect her as well as 540 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: somebody who was licensed. And I'll just say this and 541 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the events, but he's like going to be I've had 542 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: private security before when I when I'm on the road 543 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 1: with Fox Sports to do stand ups in front of television, 544 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: at at the events where you've been a couple of 545 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: those places, Buck, they want me to have security because 546 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: when you're on television, somebody can tackle you. 547 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 2: Somebody can say. I mean, it's it's it's more for 548 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: crowd control.
