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

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: A third hour of Clan Buck kicks off right now, everybody,

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: and New York City's Mayor Eric Adams has some problems

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: on his hands. The biggest city in America is seeing

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: crime rates that are so high, particularly along the lines

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: of day to day and quality of life crime, shoplifting

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: and vagrancy and all these issues that people are wondering

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: what he's going to do, if anything, can try to

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: turn things around. I've got some updates for you on that.

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: And then also we have the migrant crisis, which will

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: dive into a bit more. I keep wondering why it's

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: a crisis. If you care about sovereignty or border immigration law,

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: why is it a crisis for New York City. You

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: notice the Democrats never seem to want to answer this

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: because we're always told that illegal immigration only has upside

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: for the country. We need these workers, right, That's what

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: the left will we say, And we're a nation of

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants and all the rest of it. So we'll

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: get into some of this, but I wanted to start

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: with this, this crackdown on shoplifting plan for NYC.

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: That was put out by the mayor.

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: I think this is just a couple of days ago,

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: because everyone I was looking at what's happening, whether it

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: is Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, you know, find me

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: a Washington, d C. Baltimore, find me a major Democrat

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: controlled city, and I'll show you a place where things

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: have gotten worse with quality of life and crime is

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: over the last three years on the rise. Why I

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: should always know? What is it about the last three years?

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: What changed? We all know BLM two point zero and

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: the narrative shift and the political shift of Democrats toward

33
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: legalizing the illegal and no longer punishing criminals and thinking

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: that criminals are a victim class themselves to be apologized

35
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: to by the state. The criminal is not the problem.

36
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: The problem is the state's failure are failure yours and

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: mine in giving the criminal what he needs or she

38
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: needs overwhelmingly he but in order to be happy, so

39
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: they won't go car jacking for the fifteenth time. Right,

40
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: it's it's our faul, That's what we're told. Well, let's

41
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: just let's look at the shoplifting plan that New York

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 2: City's put out last week. I told you do you

43
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: remember the number, Clay, was it almost seven hundred million

44
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: or almost eight hundred million lost in fair jumping, turnstile

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: jumping and on the bustle.

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Almost almost seven hundred million. You said, yes, thank.

47
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: You almost, which is is a lot of money for

48
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: a city. Seven hun hundred million dollars. You think that's

49
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: a pretty big deal. People just not paying and it's

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: a violation of law. So here's the crackdown on shoplifting.

51
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: Shoplifting now. I think Target alone said they lost five

52
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars nationwide to shoplifting last year. That's five

53
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars one company. Think about that for a moment.

54
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I have to wonder what what For a

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: second are the what are gross sales? Clay, I'm looking

56
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: this up of Target stores nationwide because when you're starting

57
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,559
Speaker 2: to look, I mean, I know it's in the billions.

58
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow.

59
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: Total revenue one hundred and nine billion dollars.

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: That's a lot.

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: That's a lot more than I thought I was going

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: to say, like fifty billion or something. Anyway, there's a

63
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: lot of money to Target's making something else.

64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: The profit to be Fairbuck, the profit margin in retail

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: is awesome manuscule. So when you're talking about five hundred

66
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: million dollars in theft, as Target has put out, this

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: is and and and and It's also worth noting that

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: this is large scale theft. That's different than just you know,

69
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: you're fill in a pack at stealing a yeah, candy

70
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: bar or something. We're talking about like sort of orders

71
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: of magnitude, professional thievery that is taking a huge portion

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: of their profits.

73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: They call it organized retail theft. Now, that's the term

74
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: that law enforcement uses for this. It's happening in New

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: York City all the time. I've been in stores in

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: New York where people have been stealing stuff and the

77
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: clerks just sit there, and you know, it's demeaning for

78
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: the clerks, it's demeaning for the other people in the store.

79
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's unsettling because you're also you're watching someone

80
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: break the law. You understand that if someone does confront

81
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: this person, there could be a physical confrontation, and you

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: know it's just the whole thing as you're watching a

83
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: crime take place. So here's how Mayor Adams is going

84
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: to deal with the Everyone agrees it's not a massive

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: problem for Year's Day lied, Oh, it's just COVID. Remember

86
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: when the prime win was covid Clay, Yes, everyone's staying

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: at home watching Netflix. Crime is going up, though it's

88
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: because of COVID. It never made But they were lying.

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: They were just they're buying time for Biden in the election. Here,

90
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: that was the whole point. Okay, here's the plan. Give

91
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: first time offenders intervention programs instead of prosecution, de escalation

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: training for retail employees, establish neighborhood watch groups, and install

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: kiosks in stores to connect would be thieves with social

94
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: services programs. The mayor of New York City saying, let's

95
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: take fewer juveniles into the justice system where they will

96
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: face any consequences whatsoever. Let's have retail employees learn to

97
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: do even less than their doing. And we're going to

98
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: spend more money on public services that won't do a

99
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: damn thing to change any of this. That's the plan

100
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: to deal with shop lifting. Wow, I wonder why it

101
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: doesn't get any better.

102
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: And Buck, this has real tangible impact because I got

103
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: some numbers here on population that was in the Wall

104
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: Street Journal editorial. I read this and I was like,

105
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. We know that a lot of

106
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: people moved because of COVID, but now quality of life

107
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: I think has also become a major factor. Did you

108
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: see these numbers? According to the latest census data, New

109
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: York City lost four hundred and sixty eight thousand people

110
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: between April of twenty twenty and July of twenty twenty two.

111
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: That's five point three percent of its population. And it's

112
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: not just New York City. That's more people, Buck than

113
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: live in the entire city of Miami. That many people

114
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: left New York City. This is according to Wall Street Journal.

115
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Other big city losers Chicago lost eighty one thousand people,

116
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: La lost seventy six thousand, and San Francisco lost sixty

117
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: five thousand and Buck that population for San Francisco, seven

118
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: point five percent of the overall population of San Francisco

119
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: left in the last two years. Think about that, and Buck.

120
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: It's not just the people that are leaving. I would

121
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: bet if you dove into the data, it's the wealthiest,

122
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: it's the highest educated, it's the people with the most

123
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to go elsewhere. So it's even more debilitating to

124
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: those cities than just the raw numbers.

125
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: April of twenty twenty three versus April of twenty twenty two,

126
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: the state of New York was down forty percent in revenue.

127
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: So you may only lose five percent of your population.

128
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: But look at just basic income tax data.

129
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

130
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: One percent of earner's nationwide, and this is true in

131
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: the cities as well, are paying. Oh gosh, wait, hold on,

132
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: I want to get this number right. The top straordinary

133
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: note incredibly high amount. I think it's over twenty percent.

134
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 2: You bok that up because I'll give you this part

135
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: less than over half of people. We just had tax

136
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: day last month. Over half of Americans don't pay a

137
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: single dollar in federal income tax. Because you that's a

138
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: staggering number, I think to a lot of you out

139
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: there listening again, let me repeat that, over half of

140
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: Americans do not pay a single dollar in federal income tax.

141
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: I keep getting this. I underestimate how crazy it is.

142
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: The top one percent of earners are paying over forty

143
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: percent of the income taxes. Getting closer that's unbelievable to

144
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: fifty percent. So if you lose the five percent that

145
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: you're talking about a New York City, and of that

146
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: five percent, you have a lot of people who are

147
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: in the one percent in terms of earnings. Your city's

148
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: financial structure is destroyed. And I think that's what. I

149
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: think San Francisco is heading for this. I think New

150
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: York City is heading for this. I think they'll be

151
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: I think Chicago is heading for this. And the answer

152
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: that the left has the answer these left wing democrat,

153
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: community activist lunatic party. The answer they have for you

154
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: is more public services and raise taxes. Yeah, the exact

155
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: this is staring at a house fire and saying, let's

156
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: throw some Molotov cocktails in there.

157
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: No, you're right. And this is where I come back to.

158
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: One of the stories I keep telling is the virtue

159
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: a circle. I use Google as an example. Every Google

160
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: search makes the Google machine better all of these cities.

161
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: I saw these numbers over the weekend. Buck, and my

162
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: jaw drop seven and a half percent of San Francisco's

163
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: population left, five percent of New York City. And that's

164
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: stat you gave. I bet, in conjunction with the one

165
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: I gave, has staggered a lot of people. Over half

166
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: of Americans don't pay a dollar in federal income tax.

167
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: And you just said, Buck, the top one percent pays

168
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: forty percent of all federal income taxes. That is unbelievable.

169
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: And what is also happening now is if you're super wealthy,

170
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: why in the world, if your city is deteriorating and

171
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: if your quality of life is collapsing in Chicago or

172
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: New York City or San Francisco or LA why would

173
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: you pay fifteen percent sometimes of your income for the

174
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: privilege of being able to live there. To the state

175
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: and local government, you would say, look, if you're making

176
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: think about this. Some of these big private equity guys

177
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: they make ten million a year, right, you make ten

178
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: million a year. You can put an extra one point

179
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: three million dollars in your pocket by living in Texas,

180
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: by living in Tennessee, by living in Florida. I think

181
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: Nevada has no state income tax. Why would you ever

182
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: live in a state that's taking that much money of

183
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: your hard earned cash when frankly, you can live in

184
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: a better run state with people in government that you

185
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: trust more. This is a white bulb moment. Covid was

186
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: I think buck and I don't think this is going

187
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: to change. I think these big cities are going to

188
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: keep losing the highest earners and they're going to be

189
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: moving to these red states, and they're going to be

190
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: funding their growth.

191
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: Think about it this way, Democrats outnumber Republicans. I mean

192
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: New York City went almost ninety percent roughly, we'll say

193
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: ninety percent for Biden the last election. It's eight to

194
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: one Democrat to Republican pretty consistently. San Francisco even more

195
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: than that. DC is getting close to ten to one. Now,

196
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: DC is a little different because of the federal federal

197
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: status of it, but you look at these other cities,

198
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: they have these icebergs of lunacy are going to take

199
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: a really long time to melt because they're one party

200
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: states now. So you're not even going to get the

201
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: chance to see a republic In coming into these places

202
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: and saying we're going to clean things up. We're going

203
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: to punish people who refuse to allow us to live

204
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: in an orderly and save society. We're going to clean

205
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: up the streets. We're going to cut back the massive

206
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: welfare programs. We're going to cut back on all the

207
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: special status and special money given to illegal immigrants in

208
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: these places. We're going to change the way we do

209
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: business here. And the problem that I see is before

210
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: you get to that, these cities are going to be

211
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: hollowed out. I mean, they're going to lose more and

212
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: more people. This trend is not going to stop. So

213
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: this is why I've been saying. I think that one

214
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: part of this that I underestimated was how much pain

215
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: from bad policies Democrats who control the politics and these

216
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: cities are are willing to live there. Look at the

217
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: look at the situation right now with you know, with

218
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: the Jordan, the Jordan Neely and Daniel Penny, Right, Daniel

219
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: Penny's facing fifteen years for manslaughter charges a city that

220
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: takes someone like Daniel Penny and says that we're going

221
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: to lock you up, possibly for anywhere from three to

222
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: fifteen years for doing something that eyewitness to say felt

223
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: like it was heroic at the time. That's not a

224
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: place where a lot of people are going to want

225
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: to say, I want to raise a family and I

226
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: want but AOC and the rest of the Democrat left lunatics,

227
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: they think it's great. They're all about it. So make

228
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: your decisions about this, folks. You see what's going on.

229
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: Believe the left when they tell you, when they show

230
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: you what they're all about and what they plan to do,

231
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: and you know when a service member or first responder

232
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: dies or is catastrophically injured in the line of duty,

233
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: Who's there for them or the families left behind. Who's

234
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,000

252
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We mentioned and discussed

253
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot in the first hour and on beyond that.

254
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: Tim Scott has officially announced his candidacy for the Republican

255
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: nomination in the twenty twenty four election. He did it

256
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: earlier today and we discussion. I think it's a fascinating

257
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: one about identity politics. How does it end? What is

258
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,239
Speaker 1: the impact potentially of a black candidate in the Republican

259
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: race for president in terms of appealing potentially to more

260
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: black voters. Certainly we know the data, even though it

261
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: got hardly any media attention, reflects that despite the fact

262
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: that Trump was called racist more than I'd bet any

263
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: president in the history of America combined during his four

264
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: years of the presidency, I bet that's true. Nobody's ever

265
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: been called racist more than Trump. Trump actually increased in

266
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty his Hispanic, his Asian, and his Black support

267
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: based on the data compared to twenty sixteen. Again, Trump

268
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: lost in twenty twenty because of especially women, white women

269
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: in particular, but college educated, suburban white voters in general

270
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: turned against Trump. Well. Biden, remember, has a history of

271
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: making super racist comments going back forty some odd years,

272
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: such as when he called inner city schools jungles and

273
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: that he didn't want white kids to go there, which

274
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: was something that he was attacked by Kamala Harris for

275
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: saying back in the nineteen seventies. He also, remember, Buck

276
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: said that Barack Obama was the first clean and articulate

277
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: black candidate, which is so cringe worthy, uncomfortable. But he

278
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: was even more explicit than that. You pointed this out earlier,

279
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: and I wanted to make sure we played it before

280
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: the show was done. In an interview with Charlemagne the God,

281
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: who is a iHeart employee, Biden said, Hey, if you're

282
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: black and you're voting for Trump, you're not really black.

283
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: He actually said that. Listen, listen, you got to come

284
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: see us when you come to New York. VP. Biden, well,

285
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: it's a long way until November.

286
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: We got more questions, You got more questions.

287
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: I'd tell it. If you have a problem figuring out.

288
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: Whether you're PREMI or Trump, and you ain't black. That's it.

289
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean that is like, I mean the fact that

290
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: Biden can get away with saying that. He also said

291
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: at one point that Trump would put black people back

292
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: in chains, if I remember correctly, I mean, all of

293
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: this is absolutely incial divisiveness.

294
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: Was he saying about Did you say that about Romney?

295
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: Was a Trump? I can't remember now, Oh.

296
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: You might be right. It might have been about Romney,

297
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: not about Trump. It was just as bad.

298
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who he said it about. I just

299
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: was trying to try to remember equally untrue.

300
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't believe Romney or Trump we're going to bring

301
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: back slavery, just tossing it out there, I don't think.

302
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: I think Romney is an important reminder, uh though, of

303
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: what everyone can expect, which is that whoever the Republican

304
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: nominee is is a racist monster who will turn women

305
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: into the uh, the the what's the thing? The Handmaid's Tale,

306
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: and whoever the Republican nominee is is an absolutely awful human. No,

307
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: we don't see it here. Talk about like, oh Joe Biden.

308
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: I think his policies are horrible. I think he's an imbecile.

309
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: I think he has dementia. But you know I don't compare. Yeah,

310
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: I don't compare to Hitler though. Well that's why I

311
00:17:59,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: always say.

312
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: It's funny like, once you've decided that Trump is Hitler,

313
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: how do you make somebody else worse? That becomes really

314
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: difficult to do. Small business owners have benefited from smart

Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.

329
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: The border crisis continue. As we remember Title forty two

330
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: expired and the numbers, the numbers were already very high

331
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: for illegal crossings and they continue to.

332
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: Be very high.

333
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: And I think that what's showing the realities of the

334
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 2: illegal immigrant wave into this country more than anything else

335
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: right now is how it's being handled in big blue

336
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: Democrat cities New York and Chicago come to mind. In

337
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: Chicago they haven't gotten nearly as many New York the

338
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: numbers over forty thousand now. But in Chicago, the migrants

339
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: that they have, they're trying to figure out where they

340
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: can put them. I think they've even started to try

341
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: to find space in some police stations and they're trying

342
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: to find temporary housing. In Manhattan, it has gotten to

343
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: a point, I should say New York City, it has

344
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: gotten to a point where the mayor Eric Adams has

345
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: thought about housing these migrants in school gymnasiums, which a

346
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: lot of very generally reliable Biden and Democrat voters, We're

347
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: like a whole lot of second, you can't, you can't

348
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: do that in my kids' school. Well, why if the

349
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: gym's not being used, or if they, what's the problem?

350
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 2: That's what I would want to ask those individuals. But

351
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: this problem continues to get worse in New York for

352
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: budgetary reasons, and it is showing in a way that

353
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: I think really lands with people what the challenges are

354
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: of just having unrestricted illegal immigration into the country. It

355
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: is a massive resource drain, and at a time when

356
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: a lot of Americans are struggling in a whole range

357
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: of ways, then inflation continues to be high, and we

358
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: have a lot of needs out there for the people,

359
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: for our people, the American people, I think it's fair

360
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: to ask what the heck is going on here? Well

361
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: back in New York, though, Eric Adams is actually saying

362
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: that first of all, here first to our newest Americans.

363
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: He's referring to them as Americans already, and he says

364
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: that they should be able to work.

365
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Play nine.

366
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: We have one message, let them grok. That is our

367
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: clear message that we're sending. We must expectate work authorization

368
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 4: for a silence.

369
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: Seekers, not in the future, but now.

370
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 5: So we're calling on the White House, the United States

371
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 5: Department of Homeland Security to ensure our newest Americans can

372
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 5: work lawfully and build stabilized for themselves in our countries.

373
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: Can I just he's talking about people who entered the

374
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: country illegally, Clay, who have papers just that show their

375
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: foreign nationals, but they've been here for a couple of

376
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: days and they're Americans. This is remarkable. And when you

377
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: really think about what the implications are, forget about assimilation,

378
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 2: forget about our legal process, forget about everything. You came

379
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: here legally, You're now an American. That's how he speaks

380
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 2: about it. On the other side of the equation, Ron

381
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: de Santis down in Florida, you know, you just signed

382
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: in this law for the state of Florida mandatory everify

383
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: for businesses with twenty five or more employees. Not as

384
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: much exploitation of the illegal immigrant laborpool going on down

385
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: in Florida.

386
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the reality is this just is a disaster

387
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: already that becomes more disastrous as we go forward. Because

388
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: he's calling them Americans. They're not gonna leave, and it

389
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise you that they would refuse to leave. There

390
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: was a story over the weekend, I think in the

391
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: Sunday New York Times talking about the fact that Brazil

392
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: is now giving many people asylum, so the new route

393
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: to the United States is running through Brazil. People are flying,

394
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: in particular, this article focused on Afghan people. They're flying

395
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: to Brazil buck and they are walking all the way,

396
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: and you know, traveling buses and everything else, but traveling

397
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: thousands of miles, many of them, all the way from

398
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: Brazil up through I believe it's called the Darian Pass,

399
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: which used to be considered basically impossible to go through

400
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: for much of immigration history. This little part of this area,

401
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: it's very much a jungle. Basically, only ten thousand people

402
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: they said, went through this Darian Pass area in Panama Gap. Yeah,

403
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: Darien Gap. Yes, only like ten thousand people went through

404
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: there in early parts of the twenty first century. Now

405
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: this past year, I believe the number was four hundred thousand.

406
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: So the way that people are able to reach the

407
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: southern border is and it's not just we focus a

408
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: lot on the idea of it's, oh, it's people from

409
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Mexico or whatever else. No, No, it's people from around

410
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: the world now that are coming across our southern border,

411
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: and they're overwhelmingly doing it by just landing in a

412
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: Latin American country and making their way north.

413
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, over one hundred and seventy countries I think now

414
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: have been represented in the illegals who have crossed into America,

415
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: And I think everyone needs to be reminded that they're

416
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: exploiting the asylum program. So what they're doing is they

417
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: are saying, hey, if I go back to any of

418
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty countries, Okay, if I go back

419
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: to any of one hundred and sixty countries, I will

420
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: be subject to persecution, violence, and even possibly being executed.

421
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: So a program that we have so that when the

422
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: Khmer rouge are, you know, murdering millions of people, and

423
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: some people are able to get here to America to freedom,

424
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: into safety. The program that we have so that, you know,

425
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: if there's the rise of something akin to Nazism again

426
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: and people have a place they need to to escape violence, genocide,

427
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 2: and that level of persecution. You got people who are

428
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: showing up here from Pakistan who are like, I just

429
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: want to be an America. It's a better jobs market,

430
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: but they're pretending to be asylum seekers. The fact that

431
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: this never gets talked about, I think is a big problem.

432
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: This is this is immoral I mean, they're exploiting. This

433
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: would be like people who think about it this way,

434
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: if people were showing up at a soup kitchen and

435
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: they were saying, I really need I'm really down on

436
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: my luck, I really need food, and you found out no,

437
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: they're actually saving up for a really you know, a

438
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: really expensive car, and they realize that the food from

439
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: the soup kitchen means, you know, they're cutting their expenses

440
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars a month and they want that expensive car.

441
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you feel abused when you feel used? That is

442
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 2: what these people are doing. They're pretending to be something

443
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: they are not, and they're exploiting the goodwill of the

444
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: American people to do so.

445
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: And they're getting court dates years from now, and what's

446
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: going to happen in the not falsehood? Years from now?

447
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: They're being told, Hey, you need to show up in

448
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: an immigration court in twenty twenty five, and they're never

449
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: even going to show Clay. They're never even going to

450
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: show not only that buck, many of them are going

451
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: to have kids, and their kids are going to be

452
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: American citizens.

453
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: And so that's what happens. They show you can't kick

454
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: them out, then they maybe do show up to the

455
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: immigration court say hey, my my American citizen child is here.

456
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: You can't break up families. We all see how this

457
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: how this scam is running. Look, if Democrats were being honest,

458
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: they should just tell the electorate we don't think we

459
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: should have immigration laws. It's a free for all. But

460
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: then a lot of people would say, if we don't

461
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: have immigration laws, why why should we have extra territorial taxation?

462
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: Like why should why should I feel like I should

463
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 2: be compelled to pay for the taxes for this country

464
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: If somebody can come here without any law, in violation

465
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 2: of our law and be an American. According to Eric Adams,

466
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: you're the people that have arrived here that just came

467
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: from whether it's Thailand or Honduras, or Pakistan or the

468
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: Kotivoar or wherever all over the world. They're just as

469
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: American as everybody listened to this, except they are legally

470
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: and culturally and in every sense not.

471
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: And what I loved about this story, and it's a

472
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: fascinating story. I would encourage people to read it. It's

473
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: in the New York Times is buck It specifically says,

474
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: to your point on asylum, these Afghani refugees are not

475
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: in danger once they land in Brazil and once they

476
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: make their way north, they just can't make as much

477
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: money in those countries as they could here. This is

478
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: why when I tell you it is a scam, we

479
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: the American people, are being scammed. It is a fraud.

480
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: If you are a refuge okay, if.

481
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: You are hopping off the boat because you don't want

482
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: to go back to the Soviet Union, because if you do,

483
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: you're going to be tortured and executed, and this is

484
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: your last chance. You know, you don't land in New

485
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: Jersey and say, oh man, I really I was hoping

486
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: for Montreal. So you know, you just take what you

487
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: take where you're safe. And that is long standing refugee.

488
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: It's a matter of law. Actually in America, we just

489
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: forget about it. None of these people who are applying

490
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: for asylum, if you apply the actual statutes of immigration,

491
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: I want to say none, someone say, oh, okay, less

492
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: than one percent of them are coming into this country

493
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: in a way where if you really looked at the

494
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: letter of the law, they would qualify for a real

495
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: asylum in this country because if they were in Mexico

496
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: before they were here, or to your point, Clay, even

497
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,719
Speaker 2: Brazil and they didn't apply for asylum there first, they

498
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: are ineligible for asylum in America. Does the Biden administration

499
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: care no? Does Eric Adams care no? And for anyone saying, oh,

500
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: well these blue cities are they're just going to collapse

501
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: under their own bad policies, nah ah. You live in Texas,

502
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: you live in Montana, you live in name a state.

503
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: Your federal taxes are going to go to the bailout

504
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 2: of New York and Chicago and LA and you know,

505
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: you name it. That's the way this is going. That's

506
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: their plan. They have a plan, which is why they're

507
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: already lobbying the Bide administration for more federal funds. So

508
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: we see where this is all heading. The question is

509
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: do we have the will as a country to do

510
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: something about it? You know, with inflation on the rise

511
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: and the stock market more volatile than ever, protecting your

512
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: retirement accounts can be a real challenge to whether today's

Speaker 1: Welcome back in closing up shop for the Monday edition

533
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: of the program. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

534
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: Gonna take some of your calls to close out. Thought

535
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: that a couple of things were interesting, Buck, Uh, there

536
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: was in California. It's amazing how often this happens. A

537
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: boy in a sixteen hundred meter race came in second

538
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: in the girls track competition, not the girl who came

539
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: in fourth out of a trip to the state championship.

540
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: For anyone out there who has ever played high school athletics,

541
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: advancing to a state championship in any state is one

542
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: of the biggest goals that you can have in athletics

543
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: in general, certainly for anyone who is under the age

544
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: of eighteen. It just keeps happening. It's not going to stop.

545
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: A reminder that not one elected Democrat in the House

546
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: or the Senate voted to ensure that only girls play

547
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: in girls athletics, which is pretty wild to think about.

548
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to some of these calls, Buck, I mean,

549
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: but they keep saying, oh, this isn't a big story,

550
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: this doesn't matter. There are an awful lot of girls

551
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing all over the country that are not

552
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: able to actually get up on the winner stand and

553
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: advance like they should be because a dude is deciding

554
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: to be a woman instead. Jared from Saint George, Utah,

555
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: we were talking about all the different people that are

556
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: big cities for red states and red communities. You're one

557
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: of them.

558
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, my family is one of them. And we moved

559
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: during the height of COVID. And you know, the thing

560
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: is this, It wasn't about COVID. COVID is not what

561
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: made us move. What made us move is this is

562
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 3: a cultural thing, guys. This is a cultural thing and

563
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: a political thing. And we couldn't take the blue state

564
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: politics anymore. We up and moved to a red state.

565
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 3: Best thing ever. We should have done it ten years ago,

566
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: but I.

567
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: Moved to Washington to Utah. It's been great for your family.

568
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Washington to Utah. We had to leave Washington because

569
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: of the politics. COVID just made it possible. And I

570
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: look at my neighborhood. Now we got people from Washington

571
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: in California and New York and all over the place.

572
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: And the cool thing about it is they're not bringing

573
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: the blue state politics with them. They're leaving the blue

574
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: state politics in the blue states and they're happy to

575
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: live in the red states where I'm quite frankly, we're

576
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 3: more free. That's that's what it's all about.

577
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: You know, I hear this Thanks so much for call

578
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: and Jared, and I'm so glad the decisions worked out

579
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: really well for you, And I would just I would

580
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 2: add to all this clay that people that I know,

581
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: for example, who are who have moved from California and

582
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: New York to Red States in particular, when I talked

583
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: to them about this, one thing I often hear is

584
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be feeding the communist machine anymore. Yeah,

585
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: because by paying into the state income taxes. Look, I

586
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: know it's people have got My family is still in

587
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: New York City, and I'm totally I understand people own homes,

588
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: they got mortgages, they got jobs, they got to do,

589
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: they got kids in school. I'm not saying, you know,

590
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: oh my gosh. But for people for whom the decision

591
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: is is open, you know, do you want your tex

592
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: Do you want your tax dollars going to UH to Washington,

593
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 2: d C.

594
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: Or to Texas?

595
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: You know, do you want your tax dollars going to

596
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: Washington State or to Tennessee. So these are some of

597
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: the ways I think that people view it.

598
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: One thing he mentioned there Buck is something I hear

599
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: from the Red State residence already, because I'm born in

600
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: rays state of Tennessee. The fear that the people moving

601
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: in are like locusts. They've already destroyed the place that

602
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: they were, and they're gonna go somewhere new and then

603
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: destroy it too. I'm actually seeing the opposite, right, Yeah,

604
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm seeing people moving to red State two are even

605
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: redder than the people who so they are moving to join.

606
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: Texas suffered from some of this where you had Governor

607
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: Abbott was making it, and probably even preceding Abbot.

608
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd have to go back. People know this

609
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: these stories better than me who live there. But Texas

610
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 2: was very encouraging of a lot of big companies from

611
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: California to set up, and so you started doing the

612
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: corporatism that the Texas government Texas state government was engaged in.

613
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: Seems like a great idea, Oh more jobs. Well, if

614
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: it's more jobs, and they're moving in and around Austin,

615
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 2: lex let's say, or Dallas, and they've got far left

616
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: politics and actually can have some unintended consequences for yes,

617
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: Whereas what we see happening now is just people are

618
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: choosing of their own volition to go to places that

619
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: align more with their politics. Let's say we have Margie

620
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: from Jeffersonville, Indiana. What's going on, Margie.

621
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 6: Well, I am in total shock what Mayor Adams just

622
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 6: said the new Americans. I've been here almost half a century.

623
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 6: I am a legal alien. I still have my green cards.

624
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 6: Every time I wanted to become a citizen, you know,

625
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 6: then things change. Couldn't do it during the Trump era

626
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 6: because I didn't have the fund. Really so, but I

627
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 6: loved this country the last two years. I've been painting it,

628
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 6: and I keep on telling my husband because of all

629
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 6: these changes that are being made, and we feel so

630
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 6: uncomfortable now, both of them, both my husband and I

631
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 6: are from different countries. I really do feel safe anymore.

632
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Buck. We talk about all

633
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: the time. Probably the most important thing your city and

634
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: state government can do, certainly your federal government as well

635
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: protected citizens right yep. And overwhelmingly as crime rates are soaring,

636
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: people are deciding to abandon blue run states and blue

637
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: run cities.

638
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 2: Well maybe tomorrow I meant to get to today. Homeowner

639
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: in Memphis sees his car being stolen from right in

640
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: front of his right and his driveway. He confronts the

641
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: would be robber. Robert opens fire, on him. He returns

642
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: fire play in Memphis, and the Soros bac DA charges

643
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: him for returning fire with reckless endangerment, crazy
