00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show,

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Thursday edition of the program. We hope all of you

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: are having a fantastic time wherever you may be as

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: you get ready for the weekend. I am out in

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I have to say it's a little bit

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: different of an experience to wake up with young kids

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: in a hotel room in Las Vegas. Never been out

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: here before. The kids think Vegas is pretty awesome. They're

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: running around. Appreciate iHeart Studios hosting me out here. And

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: Buck obviously Nevada big time battleground state for twenty twenty

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: four as it was in twenty twenty as it was

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. And this morning I am up

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: and I am reading, and I can't stop thinking about

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: what exactly might happen in twenty twenty four. Because we're

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: almost at the end of January. Joe Biden is addressing

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Congress with the State of the Union, I believe on

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: February seventh, Buck, and almost as soon as that address

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: is done, I think we start to hit the spring

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: announcement season and New Hampshire is in an interesting spot

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: because New Hampshire has historically been the first primary state,

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: but maybe because he's trying to head off a primary challenger.

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: Joe Biden now is trying to elevate South Carolina, which

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: is his bastion basically right his reliable James Clyburne infused

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: win and New Hampshire is uncertain about how exactly they're

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: going to factor in. Iowa was uncertain about how they're

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: going to factor in. And really it's not gonna be

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: very long until campaigning begins in earnest all over the

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: place in some of these early states, and there are

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: numbers out and I wanted to hit you with some

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: of these numbers, Buck, because first of all, the Democrat primary,

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Mayor Pete in New Hampshire is beating Joe Biden. Does

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: that surprise you at all that if there were a

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: primary right now, Mayor Pete, who is maybe the worst

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: transportation secretary of all time? According to this University of

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: New Hampshire poll, Mayor Pete's at twenty three percent, Joe

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: Biden's at eighteen, tied with Elizabeth Warren. Does it surprise

38
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: you that New Hampshire are friends in the granite state

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: New Hampshire rights would be liking Mayor Pete more than

40
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: they do Joe Biden. Not really, you know, you look,

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: New Hampshire is not a highly diverse electorate when it

42
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: comes to the Democrats are going to be in this primary,

43
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: right or who would be voting in a primary? So

44
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: I think that this is a it's always interesting, it's

45
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: always instructive to go back lay and look at who

46
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: is ahead, just any election. You know, who is ahead

47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: in Iowa and how to New Hampshire go? Would you

48
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: find out? Is crazy stuff happened? Then remember Howard Dean

49
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: before he did in Yeah, that was actually pretty good impersonation.

50
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: And then he fell out. He fell off. He was

51
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: the Democrat frontrunner before the shriek, so you can pick

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: any individuals. Came in fifth in New Hampshire and everybody

53
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: said he's basically dead, and then he went down to

54
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: South Carolina won the primary and it was over right,

55
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: So I mean it is kind of fascinating. Yeah, New

56
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Hampshire is not a strong state for Biden in the

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: first place, so I'm not I'm not really surprised about

58
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: that and Mayor Pete being there being their choice A

59
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: lot of these a lot of these early states that

60
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past end up being favorable toward

61
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: someone who has no shot in the actual general Remember

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: John John Edwards. I mean, you go back, you look

63
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: at some of these states. The thing that I find

64
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: the most interesting right now is there is a recognition

65
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: of two things that this polling. I saw the Axios piece,

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: the Emerson College survey, Harvard Caps, Harris poll that they

67
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: just did all this together, actually just put this out

68
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: this morning. And oh, I'm sorry, I had a Morning

69
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Console polls. There are a bunch of poles that are out.

70
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: The Morning Console poll has Trump expanding his lead over

71
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: to Santists forty nine percent to thirty percent in a

72
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: hypothetical primary field. But Biden leads Trump according to the

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: Morning Console forty four percent forty one percent. Now, it

74
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: is super early, we all know that. But one thing

75
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: and so none of this really has any predictive value.

76
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: But I do think that what it shows us is

77
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the sentiment change around Trump, specifically that the whole home

78
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: my gosh, a special counsel and maybe prosst all the

79
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: things he is going to take off. He's good to go,

80
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: all right. I wanted to hit you with another one

81
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: from this New Hampshire pole. Kamala Harris. What do you

82
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: think she is polling right now in the New Hampshire

83
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: primary According to the University of this new University of

84
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: New Hampshire poll, it has it has mayor in first place.

85
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Joe Biden tied with Elizabeth Warren in second place. By

86
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: the way, and some of that makes sense because geography

87
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: Massachusetts also Bernie does well. Where's Kamala in New Hampshire. Yeah,

88
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: less than three percent? Kamala is two percent. There we go.

89
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: So now that is so I get you in general.

90
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: On the hey, it's early, some of these primary polls

91
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: don't matter very much, but that is a jaw dropping

92
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: number to me that the sitting vice president, who they

93
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: are trying to tell us buck Hey, Kamala Harris is

94
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: the future of the Democrat Party. Remember when Joe came in,

95
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: the idea was, oh, he's gonna step down and elevate

96
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: her and allow her to run in New Hampshire after

97
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: two years basically of being able to advertise her competence,

98
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: after two years of being the heir apparent in this

99
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: identity politics latent Democrat Party where all that matters is

100
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: your race and your gender. New Hampshire is giving the

101
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: heisman to Kamala Harris two percent. So it's important though

102
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: to look at how the Democrats. You know, we're sitting

103
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: here talking about New Hampshire. The Democrats have changed the

104
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: primary calendar for the twenty twenty four election. They're trying

105
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: to This is actually getting complicated, Buck, because some of

106
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: these states are not sure that they can get through,

107
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: like they're trying to elevate George. They've proposed this, but

108
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: Biden has its Let's see what happens. Yes, Biden has

109
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: recommended this, but so he's gone along with it. So

110
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: you have to think when the print, when the sitting

111
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: president and a lot of Democrat Party insiders have all

112
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: endorsed this change, you would think it could happen. So

113
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: they want to have South Carolina go first with its

114
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 1: primary on February third of twenty twenty four. A couple

115
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: of days after that you would have Nevada, and then

116
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Georgians would vote after that on February thirteenth,

117
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: Michiganders on February twenty seven. So what they're going for

118
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: is more diverse states in the early in the early days,

119
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: and more battleground states as well in the or I

120
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: should say, adding some battleground states into the early fighting here,

121
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: because you know Georgia, for example, getting moved up Michigan

122
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: very early in this. So you know this is this

123
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: would be big. Actually, this would be a big change

124
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: because we're also used to the Iowa. You know, every

125
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 1: every time there's an Iowa caucuses, everyone starts googly, like, wait,

126
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: what is a caucuses again? And how I'll tell you this.

127
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Even people that work in this business, they never really

128
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: figured out. They're like, what, you hang out with a

129
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: bunch of people and you vote, and then you count

130
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: more votes, and then there's other other whole thing's like

131
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: and then Iowa screwed it up the past couple of

132
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: go arounds two buck where you couldn't even tell exactly

133
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: who won. Remember it couldn't figure out of Ted Cruise

134
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: or Trump won back in sixteen and then in twenty

135
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: it was a total cluster and you couldn't figure out.

136
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: They couldn't get the accounts right. But it is to

137
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: me an interesting move that Joe Biden's trying to make

138
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: because South Carolina is his Ballywick his you know, his

139
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: absolute strongest state because of James Clyburn. And so if

140
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: there were a challenger, is he trying to box that

141
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: person out? Well, that that's exactly why I think there's

142
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: the hesitancy when you have a Democrat president and and

143
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: top Democrat political consultants and the machine all saying, yeah,

144
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: let's change this around. It also makes sense from the

145
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: perspective of the narrative change the Democrats won't, which is

146
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: we want a more diverse electorate earlier on to help

147
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: pick our help pick the candidate. It obviously would also

148
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: really benefit Joe Biden what you know, you know what

149
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it would benefit somebody in his position. So

150
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: you would have to see, what do you want a

151
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: candidate who lines up the way that Biden does going forward?

152
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: Or you know what I mean, like Pete Buddha Judge

153
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: in that calendar would I'm talking about now even just

154
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: to talk in future elections, that would be more of

155
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: a challenge for someone like a like a Buddha judge,

156
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, to have South Carolina go first. No, I

157
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: think you're one hundred percent right. And what's also interesting

158
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: if you think about that is remember it was Barack

159
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: Obama having great appeal in Iowa that actually propelled him

160
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: to beating Hillary Clinton. So they're concerned, Oh, Iowa and

161
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: New Hampshire Democrats are are too white, but it was

162
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: actually for a black candidate Barack Obama being that appealing.

163
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: Now I wanted to hit you. You were just saying, yeah,

164
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: just real quick. I think it's funny because people forget this.

165
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: A lesson we should always remember about Hillary Clinton, and

166
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: it was hammered home twice, is that the politically inevitable

167
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: winner is not actually the inevitable winner, you know what

168
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean. Like Hillary was supposed to win in two

169
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Everybody thought she was going to at

170
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: least get the party nomination, and she didn't. And then

171
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Hillary was supposed to win in twenty sixteen New York

172
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Times nine. So no one can predict the future, folks,

173
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: and they actually rigged everything for her, the DNC did.

174
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: But based on this calendar two buck, by the way,

175
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: there is the possibility that, unlike in past years where

176
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans competed at the same time, you could

177
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: have a calendar where Republicans are competing in Iowa and

178
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: New Hampshire and Democrats are starting in in South Carolina,

179
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: which seems complicated. But Buck, I wanted to hit this

180
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: because this is the Republican New Hampshire poll that just

181
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: came out this morning. You talked about and I agree.

182
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: Trump has shown a lot of national strength. You were

183
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: running through the axios the morning consult. Trump has strengthened

184
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: as this classified documents dump has become a mess. There

185
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: is a rig job Joe Biden's trying to put in

186
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: place to get the primary season set up in his favor.

187
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: Listen to this in New Hampshire right now, Ron de

188
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: Santis up twelve points on Donald Trump. So what I

189
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: would float out there? Forty two to thirty, Nicki Haley

190
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: at eight percent, nobody else really in the shooting match there,

191
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: But what I would float out here? I have not

192
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: seen a lot of discussion in the Republican camp. What

193
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: is the order going to be for Republican primary season

194
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: and how much of this? I don't think Trump's going

195
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: to be very strong in New Hampshire. I think that

196
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: that is a tough has become a tough state for Trump.

197
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: How much impact, if any, would Trump losing in New

198
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: Hampshire or maybe Iowa while he may be strong nationally

199
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: on a statewide basis, I think New Hampshire is likely

200
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: to be a very strong state if Desantist gets in

201
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: the race. I would just add to this that the

202
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: sense of Trump's invincibility in a certain way, meaning that

203
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: they try to Yes, I know he's not president right

204
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: now when we all know what up in twenty twenty,

205
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: and but the sense that you cannot the machine, the apparatus,

206
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: cannot stop him, that he is like the terminator, that

207
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: he will just keep coming, that he has managed to

208
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: in in the blink of an eye. Trump went from

209
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: everybody we know, every legal analyst that you and I

210
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: know and trust. Before they found the classified document. I

211
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: had two former attorney generals tell me Republican attorney generals

212
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: tell me in private, I think they're gonna pro I

213
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: think they're actually gonna charge Yeah, okay, so Andy McCarthy

214
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: said just in the other day in the show, I

215
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna charge Trump until the documents thing happened.

216
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: The fact that that, I mean he went through Russia collusion.

217
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: Think about all this the special counsel, the tax you

218
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: know nonsense, and all these investigations and all this stuff

219
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: and with like a swipe of his of his hand,

220
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: of his paw, like a big bear. Trump has just

221
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: knocked aside yet again, another massive Democrat trap to try

222
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: to stop him from running. I mean, I think it's

223
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: really just dawning on the folks in Mara Lago and

224
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: in Trump's orbit that it's you know, the field's wide

225
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: open now for him. I mean, all the obstacles, all

226
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: the all the pitfalls they put in place, at least

227
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: with regard to the legal stuff gone. Yeah, I would

228
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: just point out instead of Trump knocking it aside with

229
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: his big paw, I think Joe Biden kind of stepped

230
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: into bear trap himself. That is a more accurate ascription

231
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: of what happened here. But Joe Biden's incompetence has freed Trump.

232
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: It's like they the Democrats had set a big trap

233
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: and they were all ready to get Trump in the cage,

234
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: and then Biden just stepped right in the trap and

235
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: got caught himself. You know this from sports. I know

236
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: this from life. Better better lucky than good, clay every time,

237
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: better lucky than good. And fortune was shining on Trump

238
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: when Biden took home classified many times, and you know,

239
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: left it around. He was practically leaving it like like

240
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: a magazine subscription that he had. He could care less,

241
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: it seems about the classified rules. But we'll get back

242
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: into more of that here in just a second. There

243
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: was a big deal made last weekend on the fiftieth

244
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. Lots of rallies, speeches,

245
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: plenty of celebration over the notion of being able to

246
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: abort a baby. Notice there wasn't as much attention paid

247
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: for the March for Life in the media, of course,

248
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: But don't be discouraged by the quiet on that front.

249
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: There's plenty of effort going on every day, particularly from

250
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: the Preborn Pregnancy Clinics. Every day, the Preborn Pregnancy Clinics,

251
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: it's a nonprofit nationwide, provide free ultrasounds to moms who

252
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,359
Speaker 1: are making the biggest decision of their lives. That ultrasound

253
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: introduces the mother to their unborn child. They hear the heartbeat,

254
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: they see the movement, they may learn the sex of

255
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: that child. It's a game changer. The ultrasound so often

256
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: for that mother who's making that decision, and she so

257
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: often brings a child into this world because of that

258
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: free ultrasound. Now that's something to really celebrate, and it's

259
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: something you can take part and you can help. Please

260
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: support the preborn Pregnancy clinics with a donation. It costs

261
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars for a single ultrasound. Five ultrasounds cost

262
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty dollars. Whatever you can contribute, though,

263
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: we'll go to saving the lives of unborn children. Each day,

264
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty babies are saved in this manner.

265
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Using your cell phone, dial pound two five zero and

266
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: say the word baby. That's pound two five zero on

267
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: your cell phone, say baby. There's also a website where

272
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. It's gonna take our attention

273
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: over to NYC. Say hi to Oli, our wor family

274
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: in the greater New York area and take all look

275
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: at what's happening in America's largest city here for a second.

276
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, yesterday we talked about California, which is obviously

277
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: a state, not a city, but California as a state

278
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: is running a twenty six billion dollar deficit right now,

279
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: which I don't know. It seems like a lot of

280
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: money to me for a state to be twenty six

281
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: billion dollars in the whole. New York City alone is

282
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: facing a deficit this coming year of about four billion dollars,

283
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: just a city, four billion dollars, according to the comptroller.

284
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: So it turns out people leaving a place, and especially

285
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: those who tends to be the most mobile, most easily mobile,

286
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: those with disposal income, and those who are high high earners.

287
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: Right those are people that can say, you know what

288
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm gonna go somewhere else. This has been

289
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: a major challenge for both New York and California, and

290
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't see it turning around anytime soon. And perhaps

291
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: you could say California as a state is suffering from

292
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: this more New York as a city I think is

293
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: suffering from us. Where people aren't saying I've had enough

294
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: of Sarah, Togo or Buffalo or the Hudson Valley, but

295
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: they are saying New York at New York City because

296
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: there's an additional I think it's an additional three percent

297
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: clay you pay to be in New York City. I

298
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: gotta get back and check that they've just had people

299
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: are saying enough is enough? Right? So who is supposed

300
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: to fix all of this? Eric Adams? He comes in

301
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: as the mayor and his first job is supposed to

302
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: be dealing with crime. Year over year, crime down a

303
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: little bit, but it hasn't been some miracle turnaround story.

304
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: And as we've described here on the show, there's a

305
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: rot within the actual system now because of decisions made

306
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: by the Deblasi administration, a lot of people in this

307
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: Attorney's office, a lot of the regulations, rules and approach

308
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: that the NYPD has to deal with. All these things

309
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: mean that and just also the culture of allowing criminality

310
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: that has made things worse. It has not really improved

311
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: the way that we would have hoped even a year

312
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: in Okay. But the bigger challenge that Eric Adams I

313
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: didn't see coming was this migrant flow. And here he

314
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: is now. Remember the lip media. They're not going to

315
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: challenge Eric Adams in any aggressive way for a number

316
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: of reasons. I think they're increasingly warming up to him.

317
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: On a national level, Democrats are thinking of him more

318
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: as a national figure. Mayor of New York is often

319
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: thought of as the only mayor. Well, if you're the

320
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Clay, you're obviously ready for cabinet, right,

321
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're you know, you're ready president. If

322
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: you can run South Bid, you're ready to be the

323
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: president of the United States. Man. I mean no offense

324
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: to South Ben. I'm sure it's a lovely town, you know,

325
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and all that. But you know, I don't

326
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: think it's necessarily the job you have before you're you're

327
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: in the White House. Mayor of New York City obviously

328
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: different category. But this migrant issue for New York has

329
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: really created a dissonance, a friction in the Democrat arrative because,

330
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: as we all know, there is this belief that the

331
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: more the merry or when it comes to illegal migrants,

332
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: New York has always been in statue of liberty. You know,

333
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: legal migrants coming in by the people. Forget, there were

334
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: migrants who were turned away at Ellis Island. Not everybody,

335
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: even people who were trying to come through the legal

336
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: process wre sometimes for reasons of health or if there

337
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: was issue with the documents whatever. And also in the

338
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: big waves of migration in this country, there were pretty

339
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: considerable percentages of the population who actually went back home

340
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: to Italy or to Ireland, or whatever the case may be,

341
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: because there wasn't a welfare state here. See, you either

342
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: made it or you didn't it. If you spend any time,

343
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: have you ever been to the Tenement Museum Clay It's

344
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: on the lower e side of Manhattan. You know, I've

345
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: been to Ellis Island, which is a cool opportunity to

346
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: go through, but no, I've never been to the Tenement Museum.

347
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: Tenement Museum a little more bleak. You know, Ellis Island

348
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: would imagine come here, we love you all the immerty,

349
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: you know that for immigrants. You know, America shining city

350
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: on a hill. The Tenement Museum is this is what

351
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: it was like in the early nineteen hundreds being in

352
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: America's largest city. And I mean you had eight people

353
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: to a room, you had basically no light, You had

354
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: very unsanitary conditions. You would have cholera outbreaks that would

355
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: kill thousands, and they would stack them. They would stack

356
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: bodies outside these very cramped quarters housing. But still, this

357
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: museum is obviously one of these old tenement buildings. They

358
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: would stack the bodies out when there had when they

359
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: were cholera or typhus outbreaks, so it was rough. It

360
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: was not a good You say that you had never

361
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: been to the Statue of Liberty. I cannot tell a lie.

362
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: I haven't been to the Statue of Liberty. That is

363
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: a truth. That is still what I'm just thinking about

364
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: it because of the Ellis Island discussion. You've been to

365
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: the Tenement museum, but you haven't been to the Statue

366
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: of Liberty. That is a that is probably all the

367
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: time it happens. I see it. It's amazing, it's majestic.

368
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: You know, I've seen it. I don't know, I gotta go.

369
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: I probably should go. But I've also seen the Will

370
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Smith movie where he takes a date to Ellis Island.

371
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: You remember that hitch you see this? Oh, I did

372
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: see that movie again. I've seen Look, I'm sure you've

373
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: seen Ghostbusters when spoiler alert, gotta be careful out there.

374
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Never know when people haven't seen it. When the Statue

375
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: of Liberty actually comes walking through through the town, right,

376
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: that's Ghostbusters two with the pink Ghostbusters two. Yeah, that's right,

377
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: which is very underrated film, the Ghostbusters two. Everybody likes

378
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters one. Ghostbusters two is also good. That painting was

379
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: really scary with a vego you will remember, yes, yeah,

380
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: it was a scary painting. Scary paintings can mess you. Well,

381
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you my grandparents had a had a frowny

382
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: clown I'm not kidding, a frowning clown painting. That was terrifying.

383
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: Why did they have a frowning clown painting? And the

384
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: hoop audit and it was like it like came through family.

385
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: It was the great grandparents or the great great grandparents.

386
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: But don't worry, we gave that one away at all.

387
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: We're buying art work. Laws got a little bit of,

388
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: i would say, a morose opinion of what like art

389
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: should be. And like we were standing in front of

390
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: a painting. Reason, I don't want to see that on

391
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: the wall, you know, like where you walk in you're

392
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: like life is miserable, you know, like why why do

393
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: why even go on? Like I want some bright color,

394
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: some happiness, vibrancy. A sprouting clown from the ninth early

395
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds, that's like, that's really pretty creepy. Yeah, I

396
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: was always waiting for its little hand to just pop

397
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: out of the painting with a knife. Anyway, you're scary looking.

398
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: So So back to so at the Tenay Museum, immigrants

399
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: very different situation than than what we have. Uh well,

400
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: I remember that that was coming through the legal process.

401
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about illegal immigrants. And here's what Eric

402
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: Adams says about not just New York City, but all

403
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: the big Democrat controlled cities. Play clip one. I believe

404
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: that when I took the trip to El Paso, you

405
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: could see firsthand the pack of how not only harm

406
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: the foundation of Peso, but look at Chicago, Houston, Washington,

407
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: New York City. This is just unfair for cities to

408
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: carry the weight of a national problem. We're going to

409
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: open four more hotels, emergency hotels, we had to open herks.

410
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: This is a major financial impact on New York City

411
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: and cities across this country that are receiving a brunt

412
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: of it. So I want everyone to really listen to

413
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: what he's saying there, because Clay, this is important. The

414
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: story from Democrats for honestly my entire adult life, certainly

415
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: through all the Obama administration, and all the years of

416
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: Trump and kids in cages and all the stuff they

417
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: talked about was illegal immigrants. They just show up and

418
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: do all the work that we won't do, and they

419
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: add to the economy and there's no downside at all,

420
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: just economically, never mind any social cohesion assimilation issues. There's

421
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: no economic downside to it. So shut up, stop being

422
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: a bigot. And the more illegal immigrants the better. That

423
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: was the storyline. Well, now we've had two point I'm

424
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: estimate in two point five million with the gotaways. It's

425
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: over two million. I think two point five is a

426
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: pretty good guest for Biden's tattament office. Mayor of New

427
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: York is saying we can't afford this, hundreds of millions

428
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: of dollars somehow going toward dealing with these migrants. Why

429
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: do you need hundreds of millions of dollars going to it.

430
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: More money is going towards illegal immigrants in New York

431
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 1: City than housing insecure, meaning homeless New Yorkers. It's I

432
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: think you hit on something, And the more I think

433
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: about it, the more brilliant I think it is. If

434
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: you are I always think you have to step out

435
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: of your own mind and pretend that you are Eric

436
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: Adams or his advisors. That trip to El Paso was

437
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: a clear sign and a shot across the bow. These

438
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: statements that he is making now that I think he's

439
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: going to challenge Joe Biden. And if you are Eric Adams,

440
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: you are not the favored, fair haired child of the

441
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: Democrat Party where they're like, hey, just wait till twenty

442
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: twenty eight. You're not Gavin Newsom, you aren't Kamala Harris,

443
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: you aren't Mayor Pete. You are outside of the cool

444
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: kid club. The DNC ain't rigging anything for you. And

445
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: Buck what do we talk about in the first hour

446
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: that Biden had is attempting to reconfigure the organization, the

447
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: order of the Democrat primaries. Imagine this, What if Eric

448
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: Adams were the only person to challenge Joe Biden and

449
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: they are constantly campaigning in South Carolina, which is a

450
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: majority black electorate. How do you think he might do?

451
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: Because I think he connects. In his fifties, he sounds

452
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: and thinks, I think like a lot of South Carolina

453
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: Black Democrat voters would sound and think, like we know,

454
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has no political antenna anymore. James Kleibern, obviously

455
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: is a very powerful politician in South Carolina who basically

456
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: said Joe Biden's my guy. But who do you think

457
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: would connect better on the campaign trail in South Carolina

458
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: as it the opening primary. If it's Eric Adams and

459
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden on a stage competing against each other, and

460
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: Eric Adams can actually speak, I think on in a

461
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: way that would connect better with those South Carolina voters

462
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: than Joe Biden could. And I wonder whether, in trying

463
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: to rig the game for himself, the Biden people have

464
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: not really thought about Eric Adams as a legitimate someone

465
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: who could start to get a little bit of sizzle

466
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: down there in South Carolina. All right, So you have

467
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: the illegal immigration angle of this, which I think the

468
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: Democrats realize the more people figure out what's going on here,

469
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: and that if forty thousand migrants is putting a massive

470
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: financial strain on New York City, what are two point

471
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: five million illegal migrants doing across the US? Mostly going

472
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: to New York, Los Angeles, maybe Chicago. I mean, you

473
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: look at the major cities, Houston, what is that doing

474
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: to their budgets? That's one big piece of this story.

475
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, I basically think Eric Adams is becoming

476
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: a national political figure, certainly in terms of the conversation.

477
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: That's why the trip of the border was so meaningful.

478
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: And then to your point about the changing of assuming

479
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: they actually do change the Democrat primary, how does how

480
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: does it look for Joe Biden if you have Eric

481
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Adams aside that he is going to run against him,

482
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: what you had Carter come pretty Kennedy come pretty close

483
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: to Carter back in nineteen eighty, Ford ran again right

484
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: there talking about incumbent presidents who had to face the challenge.

485
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: So you had Carter Kennedy, that was pretty tight. Ford

486
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 1: and Reagan and seventy six that was pretty tight. No

487
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: one's ever done it in modern times. But it's dual.

488
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: Maby two, you had George Bush getting challenged by Pat Buchanan,

489
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: and Buchanon actually rattled his k a little bit if

490
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: you remember back in the day. Hasn't no one's won

491
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: in the modern era against the incumbent press, right, what

492
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's done that obviously, Carter, Kennedy, Ford,

493
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: Reagan and as you said, Buchanan, Yeah, that's right, Buchanan.

494
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: And uh, it's interesting. I feel like with the passage

495
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: of time, the respect that Pat Buchanan has among the

496
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: conservative untilligentsia only only grows. That's that's by perception of it.

497
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: Hit on every past a Trumpian issues. Yeah, he was

498
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: a smart He was a smart guy. You know, he

499
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: was an MSNBC analyst for a long time. Well, they

500
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: used to actually pretend that they were going to cover

501
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: the real news as opposed to becoming a propaganda network,

502
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and uh, well we come back. I mean, I just

503
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: think about that. I want everybody out there Joe Biden

504
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: on the stage against Eric Adams in that South Carolina primary,

505
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: in the debating, assuming that he was willing to debate.

506
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: I think Eric Adams could filly him, because I think

507
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: Biden's going to be a disaster at eighty two years

508
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: old debating against anybody but thirty years younger, black, who's

509
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: going to connect better with that electorate. It would actually

510
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: be a really interesting, significant, I think, challenge to Biden's campaign,

511
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: maybe even more so than if they started in Iowa

512
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: and New Hampshire. Just worth thinking about what the implications

513
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: might be there. In the meantime, I RS, you know,

533
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton, Welcome back to play and Buck,

534
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: you would think that when it comes to a federal judge,

535
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: knowledge of the constitution, knowledge of the Constitution would be

536
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: an important Okay, we actually we're gonna hold off on

537
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: this for a second until we get the cut Clay,

538
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,239
Speaker 1: because I we have to hear the audio of it.

539
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: But I'll tee up the story here for a second

540
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: of what happened with Senator Kennedy at a judiciary hearing

541
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Senate judiciary hearing a Biden judicial nominee. This is the

542
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: main story up on Fox right now, their headlining story.

543
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: Unable to answer very basic questions about the United States Constitution.

544
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: Now I won't say what the questions are because we're

545
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: at a point now where I want everyone to hear it.

546
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: We said we're gonna play, We're gonna hear it. But

547
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: I will say this, the general competency of the bureaucracy

548
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: is something that I think more and more Americans are

549
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: doubting and doubting with really good reason. The federal bureaucrats

550
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: increasingly show themselves to be highly partisan and highly incompetent.

551
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: And this has been true with the CDC and Fauci,

552
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: and I know Fauci's you know, it's always so interesting,

553
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: isn't it. Faucci's kind of speaks for the CDC, at

554
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: least he did before he retired. But he's really at NAIAD,

555
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: which he ran, which is a sub heading of the

556
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: NIH right, which is the National Institute of valid What well, No,

557
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: he was at National Institude of Allergy and Infectious Disease,

558
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: and then there's National Institutes of Health NIH, which he

559
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: was part point being a total disaster the FBI. How

560
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: many times have we come in here and had to

561
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: talk about the mess that the FBI has made of

562
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: elections and of our politics. And I think increasingly what

563
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: we have is a situation where people should should start

564
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 1: to doubt the competency of the bureaucracy, and that actually

565
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: has really negative ramifications for the country going forward. When

566
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: federal agencies that have a specific mandate can't be trusted

567
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: to be a political and can't be trusted to be capable,

568
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: why should we have them effectively operating as the fourth

569
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: branch of government and governing so much of our lives. Yeah,

570
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: and when we play this audio and I haven't even

571
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: heard the audio. We were talking about it off air.

572
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: So I've been an attorney now for eighteen years. I

573
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: passed the bar when I was twenty five years old,

574
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: US Virgin Islands and the state of Tennessee, so I'm

575
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: licensed in two different places. I took two different bar

576
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: exams back to back years, and I'm sure there are

577
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: a lot of attorneys out there listening right now who

578
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: are going to nod their heads along here. I would

579
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: totally fail the bar exam if I took it right now,

580
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: because you have to memorize so many details that I

581
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 1: have not applied for almost two decades now, so a

582
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: lot of nuances, a lot of technicalities. But if I

583
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: were suddenly and they would never nominate me, and I

584
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to do it. But if I were suddenly

585
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: nominated to be a federal district court judge, buck, I

586
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: would four months absolutely surround myself with every aspect of

587
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: the law and the job that a judge would undertake,

588
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: so that when I was testifying in front of Congress,

589
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: I was the best prepared that I could possibly be,

590
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't want to be humiliated by getting asked

591
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: a question that I hadn't prepared myself for. To kind

592
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: of contextualize this for everybody out there about what we're

593
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna hear here momentary. So here just by way of

594
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of backstory. Back in twenty nineteen, the

595
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: Spokesman Review out in Spokane, Washington had this headline, Governor

596
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: Insley appoints first female African American judge in Eastern Washington

597
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: do Spokane County Superior Court. So this Judge Bell ken Gren,

598
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't judge Charnell Bell ken Gren was the first

599
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: African American female judge appointed to the Spokane County Superior Court.

600
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: The Biden administration has now decided that she should be

601
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: in the Eastern District Federal Court of Washington. And here

602
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: is just a clip that is now going viral of

603
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: what happened when a Senate judiciary hearing with Senator Kennedy.

604
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: Here what happens when he asked a question. Well, I'll

605
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 1: let you the questions play. Tell me what Article five

606
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: of the Constitution does. Article five is not coming to

607
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: mind at the moment. Okay, how about Article two? Neither

608
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: is Article two? Okay? Do you know what purposivism is?

609
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: In my twelve years as an Assistant Attorney General and

610
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: my nine years serving as a judge, I was not

611
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: faced with that precise question. We are the highest trial

612
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: court in Washington State, so I'm frequently faced with issues

613
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 1: that I'm not familiar with, and I thoroughly review the law,

614
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: our research, and apply the law to the facts presented

615
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: to me. Or you're going to be faced with it

616
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: as if you're confirmed, I can assure you that I can.

617
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: I just say Clay. So people are obviously pointing other

618
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: saying so there's been a lot of celebration about the

619
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: elevation of this judge because this judge represents diversity to

620
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: the left and they think we need more diversity, particularly

621
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: on the court. Got to have diversity all the time.

622
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: If you're a federal judge, you have to know what

623
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: Article two of the US Constitution does. I actually think

624
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: you have to know what is in the Constitution. If

625
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: your job is to look at the law which is

626
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: set forth the foundation of it by the Constitution, I

627
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: think that's acceptable. It's it's a form of questioning that

628
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: is akin to what would happen on a bar exam,

629
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: which is why I was using the bar exam as

630
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: an example. A lot of lawyers are not experts in

631
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: every aspect of the law. But if you are going

632
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: to testify in front of Congress. You should have prepared

633
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: for months for every possible question you could be asked.

634
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: And the fact that you have to say like I'm

635
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: not prepared, like I haven't looked that up. Like you

636
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: should never have a question that you are unprepared for

637
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: in front of the I think so the third question,

638
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: I would say that would be because no one, no

639
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: one would know what that is. Who's not working the

640
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: law to be fair? Right? But I mean, Clay, if

641
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: someone asked a federal judge, what do you think about

642
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment or someone soon to be a federal judge,

643
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: this is that level, and they said, I don't know

644
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: what it is, what the Second Amendment is? So I

645
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: think when you're talking about like you need to prepare

646
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: for the bar exam, Clay, she doesn't know it's an

647
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: article too of the Constitution. Yeah right, But what I'm

648
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: saying is even the fact that she doesn't know it

649
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: when she is going to testify in front of the

650
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee about deserving this job is indefensible because

651
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: you should before you go on, like when you are

652
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: nominated for the Supreme Court. Buck, they will spend weeks

653
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: months grilling you, they give you tons of documents to

654
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: read so that you are prepared for that filame for

655
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: lack of a better way, because they're trying to catch you.

656
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna go over everything you've ever written before. This

657
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: is very basic stuff. The fact that she is unprepared

658
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: means that she didn't do the most rudimentary level of

659
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: homework to prepare for this hearing, which is to me

660
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: indefensible because you're basically auditioning for a job, right. But

661
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean you also, I would think that if you're

662
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: going to be a judge period, you know, you shouldn't

663
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: have to really just brush up on what the basics

664
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: are of the constitution. Right. So I get it, I

665
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: get it. But I'm saying, even if you are not

666
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: expected to get asked about this, right, you should have

667
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: prepared to such an extent that you can handle any

668
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: question they answer and absolutely knock it out of the

669
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: part I am. In addition to the fact that she

670
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: may not have this working knowledge, I'm troubled that she

671
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: didn't do the basic amount of homework to even be

672
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: able to have that conversation. It's like going in for

673
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: a job, and I'm troubled. I want to know how

674
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: much homework she has ever done with regard to the

675
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: law history. That's very fair question. But have you ever

676
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: done You've probably done. I've interviewed people before for jobs

677
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: as a as a business owner, and they have not

678
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: done the most basic level of research on what we do,

679
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: what their job opportunity would be, and I just immediately

680
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: X them out right, Like, if you weren't willing to

681
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: spend a little bit of time researching me or the

682
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: company that you are interviewing for, then why in the

683
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: world would I hire you and expect that you're going

684
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: to work hard and be a good employee once you're

685
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: actually here. This is like a failed job interview to me,

686
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: Like you should just get a big X across your application.

687
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: She's gonna getfmed. She's gonna get confirmed, by the way,

688
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: of course, because she's obviously such a constitutional scholar. She

689
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: will be confirmed for the Federal Court. Good stuff. Because

690
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: we have reached a world where your actual knowledge and

691
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: your actual skill does not matter. What matters is whether

692
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 1: you have the right identity politically, and that is why

693
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: I think the Democrat Party has gone completely off the rails.

694
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, we got a really great deal

716
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show, Thursday edition of the program. We

717
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: got a lot to dive into here in the final hour.

718
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm out in Las Vegas, buckdown in Florida. I wanted

719
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: to hit this news because it could turn into potentially

720
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: an interesting and serious story. Certainly it would have if

721
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: this had not. Well, I'll give you the details and

722
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: I'll explain a five Memphis police officers they were recently

723
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: released from the Memphis Police Force, have been charged with

724
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: second degree murder in the murder of a twenty nine

725
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: year old black man who was pulled over in Memphis.

726
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: They were found I'm reading from the Wall Street article.

727
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: The five officers were fired by the police department last

728
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: week following an internal investigation into the death. The five

729
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: officers have been booked into the Shelby County Memphis jail

730
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: and face charges of second degree murder. This twenty nine

731
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: year old father died in a Memphis hospital in January,

732
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: three days after officers pulled over his car. There is

733
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: evidently video footage of this beating. Now, all five Memphis

734
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: police officers who have been charged with second degree murder

735
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: are black, so this is going to be an interesting

736
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: story to follow one to see whether or not they

737
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: might be guilty too. When this video footage comes out,

738
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: what the reaction in Memphis will be. Memphis would have

739
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: likely been having all sorts of issues in the city

740
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: if these cops were white, certainly it would have been

741
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: totally different. But this news five Memphis police officers who

742
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: were fired have been charged with second degree murder based

743
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: on a traffic stop of a twenty nine year old

744
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: in the city of Memphis. Memphis has been dealing buck

745
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: We talked about this in the murder of the young

746
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: mom who was out for a jog in Memphis early

747
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: in the morning, training I believe for a marathon. Memphis

748
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: has been setting record highs for homicides. It is one

749
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: of many cities in the United States that have fallen

750
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: basically completely apart in the wake of the George Floyd murder.

751
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: And this certainly is going to make things I would

752
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: imagine very tense in the city of Memphis. Not as tense, frankly,

753
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: as if these were five white officers, in which case

754
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: I think the city of Memphis would already be in

755
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: the throes of massive protest. But five black police officers

756
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: charged with second degree murder for allegedly killing a guy

757
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: in a traffic stop twenty nine year old. That video

758
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: maybe coming out soon, just putting it on the radar

759
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: of everyone out there to see how this plays going forward.

760
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: That news just coming down. They have video of it

761
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: which has not been shown yet to the public. But

762
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: the family of the individual of the victim here was

763
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: shown the video for their you know, the video of

764
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: the arrest of Tyre Tyree Nichols, Tyree West, Yeah Nichols, Sorry, yeah,

765
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: Tyree Nichols, And they're already saying that they're The family

766
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: has said through their lawyer, I believe that there are

767
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: similarities in the video to the Los Angeles beating of

768
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: Rodney King in nineteen ninety one. That that that what

769
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: this will show that we don't know yet we haven't

770
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: seen the video, is that this was an individual who

771
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: was beaten to death a confrontation with a traffic after

772
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: a traffic stop and clay. When this video comes out,

773
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: I think that's when you might see more of a

774
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: flashpoint because that remember with George Floyd, it was the

775
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: video that was what the the moment was that of

776
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: the conflagration across the country that then led to riots

777
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: in the destruction of buildings and the whole areas of

778
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: cities and looting and all of that. But it was

779
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: because of the emotional response to that video. I think

780
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 1: this video when it comes out, we may also see

781
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: some degree of anti police protests. By the way, in

782
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: this case, from what we've seen so far, it could

783
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: very well be me these officers that the DA has

784
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: already looked at the video evidence that is charging them

785
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: all with second degree murder. So that to me indicates

786
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: sometimes cops do commit a murder that does happen. We've

787
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: seen that before. There was that officer in I believe

788
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: with South Carolina who shot the man in the back

789
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: who's running away. That does happen. It is very rare,

790
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: fortunately for us in the society. But I also think

791
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: we all have an expectation that because all five officers

792
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: involved in this beating death of a black man are

793
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: themselves black, the response will be far more muted, the

794
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: response will be far less severe than it would be.

795
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: To your point, and why is you know, you start

796
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: to get into the why is that? Isn't isn't this

797
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: just supposed to be about about you? Know, we always

798
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: are told it's about police violence, that it's about making

799
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: sure that every citizen's basic civil rights are respected. Well,

800
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: when police step out of line in this way and perhaps,

801
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, allegedly commit a really vicious murder, shouldn't there

802
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: be just as much outrage? I mean, it sounds like

803
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: in this instance it might. Here's where I'm going with this.

804
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: Michael Brown, the beginning of the Black Lives Matter movement,

805
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: the Michael Brown incident involved, as we know now and

806
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: even at the time, it was pretty clear I think

807
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: what happened based on the video evidence of Mike Brown

808
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: strong arming the guy before and then then the exchange

809
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: in the street, Um, that was a that was an

810
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: law enforcement officer defending himself. That's what the yes, that

811
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: is what Eric hold. There's Justice Department of the Obama

812
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: administration found that was a completely justice was a lie,

813
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: all a lie. But that was a totally justifiable use

814
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: of force in you know, the the George the George

815
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: Floyd incident, which was he that officer was convicted of murder.

816
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: But you can see, you know there in the in

817
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: the lead up that situation, the guy had a lot

818
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: of fentanyl in his system. It was uh. You know

819
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: that there are people who still argue that absent the drugs,

820
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have died. It might have been excessive force,

821
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: but it wasn't supposed to be lethal, or rather he

822
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: didn't know. The officer wouldn't have known that it would

823
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: be lethal excessive force. People make that argument in this instance,

824
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: we may have five cops who beat a guy to

825
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: death on video, but because of the ethnicity of the officers,

826
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: the outrage will be far less. In a case that

827
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: could well be and based on the early facts, seems

828
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: like it may well be far more egregious, you know,

829
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: And I think I think we have to look at

830
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: why that is well BLM. I've been saying this for

831
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: a long time. Black lives matter. There needs to be

832
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: a parenthetical after BLM, and it needs to say when

833
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: white people are involved, because it seems like black lives

834
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: matter only based on who takes the life of a

835
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 1: black person, right. And I don't think there's any doubt

836
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: that if five white cops in Memphis had been charged

837
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: with second degree murder and fired as police officers, that

838
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: this would be right now the number one story in America,

839
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: and that Memphis would be in the throes of massive

840
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: amounts of protests. We'll see what happens. Now. Benjamin Crump,

841
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: who is is basically the guy who shows up anytime

842
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: something bad happens and police are involved, is representing the

843
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: family here. And the Reverend Al Sharpton is delivering a

844
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: eulogy at Tyree Nichols funeral. So maybe this is going

845
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: to grow in outrage. But I think BLM does not

846
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: see this as a as as the charge point of

847
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: their organization because again they focus on white people primarily

848
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: being involved in black deaths. They don't really care that

849
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: much about black lives when black lives are taken by

850
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: other black people. When you go back and review the

851
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: thread that goes through the connection between these various moments

852
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: of extreme political activism. Regarding racist violence, usually they say

853
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: racist violenced by cop. But but in the case of

854
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: George Zimmerman, we recall the designation all of a sudden,

855
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: who was not a cop, was just a guy I

856
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: who happened to be armed in Florida and got into

857
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: a fight with Trayvon Martin. We saw the designation of

858
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: white hispanic being used, right, Remember that that white. Now,

859
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: I know people say that that has existed in other contexts,

860
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: But let me just be let's be very honest. The

861
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: media was leaning very hard on a white Hispanic part

862
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: of this because the story of a Latino guy and

863
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: a black guy getting into a fight and one of

864
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: them getting shot wasn't wasn't the narrative, so they had

865
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: to make it, Oh, this this he's he's a white Hispanic,

866
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: therefore it fits the narrative, and therefore it's about and

867
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: this is where we got was didn't a bunch of

868
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: NBA teams with the hoodies? When did put the yes

869
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: hoodies on the cord and all this solidarity? Trayvon Martin

870
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: tried to dash look George Zimmerman for what I stands,

871
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think did he get arrested later on

872
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: for something else? I don't remember every detail of what

873
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: happened afterwards in the guy's life. A Trayvon Martin tried

874
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: to beat him senseless and maybe to death. I mean,

875
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: you're smashing someone's head into the curb on the sidewalk,

876
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: and you're on top of them, and you weigh one

877
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds, and you have a gun. You're

878
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: going to use it, but that remember, so that create

879
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: a huge outrage and prot you know, and the beginnings

880
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: of these protests Michael Brown, huge outrage, the beginning of

881
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: the official BLM movement, and those were well, you know,

882
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: those were much the circumstances were far less clear of

883
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: one law enforcement obviously because George Zimmerons not a cop,

884
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: but too far less clear that this was an egregious

885
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: crime against a young black man than what may come

886
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: out in Memphis here, which seems like based on the

887
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: bodycam footage, is going to be very bad. And remember,

888
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: you know this, this is one of these moments you say, so,

889
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: why isn't this something that's going to the movement to

890
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 1: just the movement won't care. BLM won't care as much

891
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: about this as they have others because ultimately, the the

892
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: it's not really about the so much as it's just

893
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: about highlighting and some would say, exaggerating white racism in

894
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: this country for political advantage. That's exactly what it is.

895
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: It's not about the black life. It's about who takes

896
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: the black life. It's kind of an illustrative way to

897
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: look at it. And if you look at the way

898
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: the media cover it. Now, if these guys truly committed

899
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: a crime. They deserve to be prosecuted the police. Also

900
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: for everybody out there who is a police officer, and

901
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: we got a ton of police officers listening to us

902
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,720
Speaker 1: right now. If this video comes out and goes viral,

903
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: it's going to further diminish the relationship between police officers

904
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: and the communities they try to protect, which is going

905
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: to create, unfortunately, more situations like these, which is why

906
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: I tell my kids this all the time. I would

907
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: encourage everybody out there to tell your kids to do

908
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: the same. Almost every time, and I haven't seen the

909
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: video here, but almost every time there is a violent act,

910
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: but between a police officer and a citizen, it is

911
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: because why buck, the citizen doesn't comply with the initial

912
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: commands of the police officer. Right, listen to a police officer.

913
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: If you are being treated in an unconstitutional manner, you

914
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: have an opportunity, thanks to our justice system, to be

915
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: able to have legal representation to point that out. If

916
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: you fight with a police officer, if you refuse to

917
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: comply with their demands, you accelerate rapidly the potential for

918
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: violence in that interaction. Comply with the demands of police officers,

919
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: even if you think they're talking to you in an

920
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: aggressive manner. Even if you think you have done nothing wrong,

921
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: the worst thing you can do is refused to comply

922
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: because that accelerates the violent chances of an interaction. So

923
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,120
