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 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in an Hour number two Clay 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: with us. I'm Clay Travis, he is Buck Sexton, and 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 1: we are beginning another week trying to bring sanity in 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: an insane world. And just to let you know, by 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: the way, Jake Beckett, who is running for the Senate 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: in Arkansas, is going to join us here at the 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, and then in the third hour, 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: Jade Vance, who is the nominee for the Republicans in 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: the Senate race in Ohio, will be with us, two 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: young guys seeking to advance the United States Senate on 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: behalf of the Republican Party. But I want to start 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: Buck with obviously, violence that is sweeping across the nation 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: crystallized for many in what happened over the weekend in 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: the LA area with the shooting at a predominantly Asian 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: church in Milwaukee where twenty people were shot outside of 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: the Celtics game, and certainly with the shooting that took 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: place in Buffalo over the weekend. The larger culture of 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: violence continues to spread and the White House does not 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: seem to really have an answer for this culture of violence. 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to travel to Buffalo tomorrow, and 23 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: I think we all know what he will say, but 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: he still has never been, to my knowledge Buck, Waukesha 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: to address all of those people who lost their families 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: at a Christmas parade as part of a racist attack. 27 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: To my knowledge, he has not been to New York 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: City to discuss the racist attack in the subway shooting 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: that took there took place there. And what Buck and 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: I certainly want is for everybody who's white, Black, Asian 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: and Hispanic to listen to us and to recognize that 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: many of the people who are using Buffalo to try 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: to divide us totally ignored what happened in Waukesha and 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: in New York City. And what we do on this 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: show is call balls and strikes fairly and say this truthfully, 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: which is we have a massive crime problem and it 37 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly impacting white, Black, Asian and Hispanic parents, grandparents everywhere, 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: and the media by and large is not making things better. 39 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: And I saw this tweet from Larry Elder, who recently 40 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: ran for governor in California, and he pointed this out 41 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: the New York Times headlines in the way that the 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: Waukashaw attack was covered versus the way that the Buffalo 43 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: attack was covered, and he said on November twenty one, 44 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: twenty one, black man drives through Waukesha Christmas parade kills 45 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: six injur sixty two facebook post praised Hitler, supported BLM, 46 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: and called for violence against whites. May fourteen, twenty twenty two, 47 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: white man, and I'm reading Larry Elder's tweet white man 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: in a Buffalo supermarket shoots and kills ten Injur's three 49 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: posted racist manifesto. Both of these attacks are vile, hainous, 50 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: and do not represent what good Americans of all background, stripes, 51 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: persuasions believe in. Both of these men should go to 52 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: jail for the rest of their lives. But look at 53 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: the look at the way the New York Times covered 54 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: this New York Times headline. Five dead in Wisconsin after 55 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: driver plows suv into holiday parade. Officials said dozens of 56 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: people were struck after the vehicle sped down the street 57 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: during the Christmas parade. That's the opening New York Times 58 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: coverage of the Buffalo shooting headline. Gunman kills ten at 59 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo supermarket in racist attack. President Biden called for a 60 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: thorough investigation and said there was no harbor for hate 61 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: filled domestic terrorism. The eighteen year old white gunman, who 62 00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: pleaded now not guilty, left behind a manifesto, so guy, 63 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: racist attack, not even race mentioned in the New York Times. 64 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: White guy, it's a racist attack, it's domestic terrorism. Joe 65 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Biden has to make a trip to Buffalo to speak 66 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: out against this violence. Most Americans, almost every one of them, 67 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: condemns violence, whether it's committed by white, Black, Asian or 68 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: Hispanic people. The Biden whitehouse Buck overwhelmingly attacks anything that 69 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: a white person that does is illegal or violent, while 70 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: ignoring almost everything else. Biden didn't have time, he said, 71 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: to make the trip to Waukeshaw. It was too much 72 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: logistics for him to make that trip. Still hasn't been. 73 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: He didn't go to New York City after the shooting 74 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: there because they know what the President has Buck is 75 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: the bully pulpit, and the media will follow and report 76 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: whatever he says. They want to send the message of 77 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: division that this racist attack in Buffalo is emblematic of 78 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 1: la your cultural issues, that Fox News is to blame, 79 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is to blame. But when the victims 80 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: are of a different race, when the criminal is of 81 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: a different race, they just pretend it doesn't exist. Not 82 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: that I think that people should spend time reading the 83 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: manifesto of the shooter, but because he's a crazy person 84 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: and he's an evil person. But I think that for 85 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: some of us in the media, it's important to have 86 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: an understanding of what the actual ideology is. This guy 87 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: describes himself at different times as a communist, as a socialist, 88 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: as a green enviro fascist. He trashes Republicans, he trashes 89 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: he trashes democrats. I mean, he's he's a lunatic. But 90 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: notice that the difference here. The way the media frames 91 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: a narrative is always when someone who is evil but 92 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: there's an angle, a racial angle like this, not when 93 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: it's a different racial angle. When the racial angle is 94 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: a white supremacist terrorist, white supremacist terrorst shooter that is 95 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: somehow tied to the entire Republican Party right away, and 96 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: they don't even hide it. I mean, they write articles 97 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: saying this is the entire GOP. I mean, they're three 98 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million people in America. This is one 99 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: evil psychopath that every member of our audience would have 100 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: drawn down and taken him down if they had had 101 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: the chances. I know that brave former officer tried to. 102 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: You know, any one of us would. It feels horrible 103 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: about what happened, would have if we had the opportunity, 104 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: stepped in risk life and limb to protect those those 105 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: folks in Buffalo. But the immediate Democrat response is that 106 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: this is the entire this is the entire Republican Party, 107 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: and they're all to blame for this. It's gross, it's dishonest, 108 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: and it actually makes it harder for us to get 109 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: closer to something. By the way, there's I worked in 110 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: counter terrorism. I could tell everybody you're never going to 111 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: stop all of this. So anybody who tells you that 112 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: they have a solution is lying. You're never going to 113 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: prevent every sadist psychopath from deciding they're going to go. 114 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Whether it's with a car or a gun or a bomb, 115 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: there will be ways. Unfortunately, we live in a world 116 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: where there is evil, so you have to, I think, 117 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: start from that premise. But you also see the Democrats 118 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: in a moment here where I think they're really despot 119 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: for some sense of a moral high ground, especially as 120 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: on a completely different issue. But there is this abortion 121 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: all nine months of a pregnancy is fine from a 122 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: lot of prominent Democrats, and so they'll they're recognizing a 123 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: lot of people are find that revolting, I mean find 124 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: that to be the advocacy of infanticide. So when there's 125 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: an incident, when there's a mass shooting that aligns with 126 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: the native they want to tell it's an opportunity to say, see, 127 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: the entire Republican Party is devoted to or is rooted 128 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: in a white supremacist ideal. They're all guilty. There's collective guilty, 129 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: entire Republican party. The Democrats are the good guys. And 130 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: that's why. That's why, it doesn't matter how stupid the 131 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: arguments are. It doesn't matter how absurd their claims that 132 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: this is you know this commentator or that commentator or 133 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: Fox News is the problem, or you know you and 134 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: I are the problem. It doesn't matter, Clay. They just 135 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: want to tell themselves a story where the Democrats are 136 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: the good guys and everybody else who doesn't agree with 137 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: them are the bad guys, and that's the prism that 138 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: they run an evil mass shooting like this through others. 139 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: Of course they just ignore the shooting and don't even 140 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: talk about it anymore. Yeah, and we're want to be clear, 141 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: we want white, Black, Asian, Hispanic people of all different 142 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: backgrounds to listen to this show because ultimately what we 143 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: are selling is American exceptionalism and your own individual abilities 144 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: to excel no matter what your background is. We got 145 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: kids who listen, Buck, I tell my kids this all 146 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: the time. Every kid should be hearing it. First of all, 147 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: you can accomplish anything, Let's be honest. But three things 148 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: I always like to just emphasize it. If I were 149 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: running for president, this is to be my platform, Buck, 150 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: Graduate from high school, get married, don't have a kid 151 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: till you're twenty five. You know those three things. Your 152 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: poverty rate in America is zero. No matter where you start, 153 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: can't guarantee you're going to be rich. It's hard gotta 154 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: get lucky. But if you graduate high school, if you 155 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: get married, and if you don't have a kid until 156 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: you're twenty five years old, regardless of where you start, 157 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: you will not be poor. Every kid can accomplish that. 158 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: And what I get so frustrated by Buck is the 159 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: Democrat Party sells the idea now that you are a 160 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: victim and you can never succeed because America is a 161 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: fundamentally awful place, and they constantly sell that narrative and 162 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: it's intentional. And when Joe Biden makes the decision to 163 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: go to Buffalo, He's going to take the entire White 164 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: House Press Corp with him, and we know what the 165 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: stories are going to be on Wednesday. By the way, 166 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden still hasn't been to the border. Joe Biden 167 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: still has never been to Walkershaw. Joe Biden has ignored 168 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: many of the issues that he has careated in his time. 169 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: What he should say is, look, this is an awful, 170 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: heinous act. This person deserves to go to jail for 171 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: the rest of their lives. We need more police on 172 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: the streets. We were wrong in the wake of George Floyd. 173 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: We argued that police were the bad guys in the 174 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. We argued that we need to defund them. 175 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: We are reaping the results of that, and we need 176 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: more police officers to help stop events like these. That 177 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: must should say, I mean that that might actually have 178 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: the effect of preventing it, and it does prevent some 179 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: if you look at some mass shooting incidents where it 180 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: is dealt with early on enough that there isn't a 181 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: mass casualty event that comes from it. There was an 182 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: attempted mass shooting, but there's also the early warning detection 183 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: component of this which would come into play with this individual. 184 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm all for let's have a conversation if we want 185 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: to about how this can There are people that I'm 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: sure are going to say also concealed carry the shooter here, 187 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: the shooter who went to this place in his man 188 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: Festo also stated he knew that they would all be unarmed. Yeah, 189 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: he knew that he was going into a place where 190 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: basically no But now there was a security guard there, 191 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: and people could say, well, that wasn't enough. Yeah, but 192 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: if there had been two or three people who were 193 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: able to open up and return fire, which anybody who 194 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: spent enough time in Texas or Oklahoma or even Florida 195 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: will tell you. I mean, that's not unusual. You're in 196 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: a grocery store, there may be a few people who 197 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: are armed, right, that may have been a difference. Baker. 198 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's not easy to stop these acts 199 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: of evil, and no one should pretend that they have 200 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: the solution, but having a real conversation about how to 201 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: do it is absolutely warranted. What the Democrats will do 202 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: is it's very similar to what you see with the 203 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: arguments they're making about completely unrelated things. The argument they're 204 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: making about the economy and inflation. You know, oh it's 205 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: about rich people. Has nothing to do with rich people. 206 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: Inflation has nothing to do with the rich. On the 207 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: issue of preventing a mass shooting, they're going to say, oh, 208 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: we need you know, we need universal background checks. With 209 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: the background check have stopped this individual, no reason to 210 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: believe that it would have, but universal background checks. They 211 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: also were going after social media initially, Clais I'm sure 212 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: you saw because Twitch, a live streaming platform, was used 213 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: to live stream this heinous act. And my understanding is 214 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: that it was pulled down off of Twitch within two 215 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: or couple of minutes. Yeah, a couple of minutes, which 216 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: is a pretty fast pull down period. If you're going 217 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: to have live streaming platforms, evil people are going to 218 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: be able to live because it's live, right, There's nothing, 219 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: there's no algorithms going to stop somebody from saying or 220 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: doing something horrible. You can pull it down, you could 221 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: end it. But the way the politicians immediately jumped to 222 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: when we need democrats, we need more gun control, we 223 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: need more control over social media platforms. Maybe we need to, 224 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, look more at Elon Mutsk's control of Twitter. 225 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: They just use this as a club, as a cudgel 226 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: against anybody that disagrees with them on any political issue. 227 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: Because do what we say in the aftermath of this tragedy, 228 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: they tell you or you're racist, or you're somehow, you're 229 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: somehow evolved in this mentality, you're somehow complicit. It is slander. 230 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: It destroys any serious conversation. And it's because they are. 231 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: They are emotionally unhinged, the people making this argument in 232 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: public and intellectually they're un serious. And that's just where 233 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: we are on this issue. I wish I could say otherwise, 234 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: But until they come around, until they do what you 235 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: say needs to be done, well, we've been talking about here, 236 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: backing police, having serious conversations about what more effective measures 237 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: would be for this. And also understand that you're not 238 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: going to stop all of these it's not possible. Then 239 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: then we can finally actually get somewhere. But for the meantime, 240 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: they're just gonna politicie. I mean, Biden's gonna politicize this. 241 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: He's awful about that. By the way, people pretend Biden's nice. No, 242 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: he's not. Think about some of the statements Biden's made 243 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: in the past. I mean, the comments that Biden's made 244 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: about Republicans are are horrific. He's also the guy who 245 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: wanted people to get fired for not getting the vaccine. 246 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: And Biden's not a nice guy. We'll come back to 247 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: this though, friends. Look, there's strength in numbers.

Sorry if my voice is a little horse 264 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: apparently had too much fun in Chicago and have a 265 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: little bit of a horse voice. Today we have just 266 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: seen the the map, the latest congressional redistricting map for 267 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: the state of New York where I am and I 268 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: think this is really interesting. Clay and I've been going 269 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: back and forth on this one. It's a draft map 270 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: of congressional districts that has dropped, but it's the first 271 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: real look at what's going to happen here by the 272 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: intervention of a court appointed special Master. So a special 273 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Master has been appointed to decide what the congressional districts 274 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: for the state of New York will be. And the 275 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: map is very different from what Democrats wanted it to be. 276 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: The Democrats were hoping Clay that they would probably get 277 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: to a of the twenty six congressional seats. So obviously 278 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: New York's a big population state, a lot of congressional seats. 279 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: At play of the twenty six seats, Democrats thought if 280 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: they went the full Jerrymander right, and our friend Jerry 281 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: of Jerrymander, he's from what was we found ball Austin 282 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: not Baltimore. Wasn't that it was a it was marriage 283 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: Sorry I said Maryland. Yeah, he was actually from Massachusetssachusetts, Massachusetts, 284 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: not Maryland. But the Democrats are hoping for a twenty two. 285 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: This new map says that it or indicates if it 286 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: becomes the actual congressional map, but it could be more 287 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: like fifteen to eleven or sixteen to ten based on 288 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: the current polls. Huge difference. This is Dave Wasserman analyzing 289 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: the numbers here over. I guess it's the Where's the 290 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: New York Post and Clay Also, this is my favorite one. 291 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: Jerry Nadler may have to square off against Carolyn Maloney, 292 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: my former congresswoman when I grew up in New York. 293 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: That would be quite Those are two Democrat congressional heavyweights. No, 294 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean this is this is seismic when you talk 295 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: about what's going to happen in the House of Representatives race, 296 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: there's only five seats that could flip the difference. New 297 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: York Loan Buck the draft version that New York tried 298 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: to get through would have given them a twenty two 299 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: to four lead, and now it could it could be 300 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: down to fifteen to eleven. There are six competitive districts, 301 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: and given how favorable these twenty twenty two trend lines 302 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: are right now, I would think Republicans would be favored 303 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: to at least split in the six competitive districts, if 304 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: not do better. And this is massive, right because you 305 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: are going back to the numbers are out there where 306 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: you could have a twenty ten a nineteen ninety four 307 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: like red surge, and if that ends up happening, there's 308 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: not really going to be any protective walls that have 309 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: been able to be created so much from redistricting. New 310 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: York was one of the bulwarks that they were trying 311 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: to get through, as you well know, and it's now 312 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: fallen because the Democrats tried to jerrymander it to too 313 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: much of an extent. I'd like to apologize to everyone 314 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts for getting that wrong.

Tell us 337 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: the latest on what's going on in Arkansas. Well, it's 338 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: worse than that, Clay. It's not just a misspelled name 339 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: and a typo, it's the wrong name. So just to 340 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: set the table for you, So, on last Monday, May 341 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: the ninth, the first day of really voting here in Arkansas, 342 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: we started getting these frantic phone calls and text messages 343 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: and social media dms and screenshots from outraised voters in 344 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: multiple counties in Arkansas because they saw in our screen 345 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: jots confirmed that my name was wrong on ballots in 346 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: multiple Arkansas counties it said Jack Beckett instead of Jake Beckett. 347 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: So you know, we immediately sprang into action and we 348 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: called some of the election coordinators in these various counties 349 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: to see what was going on, and we expected them 350 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: to be surprised, Oh my gosh, let me let's stick 351 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: these ballots. No, they were expecting our call. They knew 352 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: these ballots were going to be wrong, erroneous for three weeks. So, 353 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: in violation of Arkansas state law, they covered it up. 354 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: They didn't tell anyone. They didn't notify me, the media, 355 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: my opponents, and most importantly, the voting public until we 356 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: confronted them. So they thought that they could just you know, 357 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: sweep this under the rug, kind of slap me around 358 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: like the typical Arkansas rhino. But no, that's not how 359 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: I do business. I followed the lawsuit, I drug all 360 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: these defenders into court, and then you know, whailah, they 361 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: started changing these voting machines within forty eight hours. They're 362 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: supposedly correct in one of the counties that were they 363 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: were previously erroneous, were verifying to see another county. You know, 364 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: they could be bothered to show up in court, they 365 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: claim the email correspondence they'll be fixed earlier this week. 366 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: But we're hearing reports. You know, I was speaking in 367 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: another part of Arkansas yesterday at a college commencement, and 368 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: I've heard from voters in other Arkansas counties who said 369 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: my name said Jack instead of Jake. So we're to 370 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: give him the bottle of this. We are not letting 371 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: this investigation go because, you know, unlike a lot of 372 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: Republicans in Arkansas, Republican politicians in Arkansas and rhinos across 373 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: the country who say they're for election integrity. I actually 374 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: mean it, and I'm going to show the people of 375 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: Arkansas that I mean business. Jake, it's buck. Who are 376 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: they in this situation? When he said they refuse to 377 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: change it? It seems this is one of these stories 378 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: where it's hard to believe until you really are told 379 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: that by the person affected. You know, you read the headline, 380 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: you say, how can they get the name wrong of 381 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: a candidate and not? And as you point out, it's 382 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: not even like there's just a letter missing, it's actually 383 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: a name of another person. There's probably there's probably some 384 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: guy out there. Jack Becket is like, Hey, I'm doing 385 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: really well in the writing campaign, right, I mean, it's crazy. 386 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: Why are they not First of all, why do you 387 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: think they're not changing it right away? And what accountability 388 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: measures are there? Well, we're still determining if this if 389 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: this is just stupidity and competence, laziness, or something more 390 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: nefarious or malicious. And I'm not giving them the benefit 391 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: of the doubt because the State Secretary of State's office 392 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: is blaming the counties. The counties are blaming the Secretary 393 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: of State. Of course, no one is taken responsibility. And 394 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure some of your listeners have seen 395 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: and heard the recording that my campaign made one of 396 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: these original phone conversations with a county election coordinator, and 397 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: they initially told us, you know when when when they 398 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: thought that we just would let it go, they told us, hey, 399 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: you know, we knew about this weeks ago. The voting 400 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: machine software is controlled out of state by a company 401 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: in Omaha, Nebraska. So we can't get it changed, you know, sorry, 402 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, try again next cycle. So really, it's what 403 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: I see is this is you know, an effort you know, 404 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: either by Hokah, by Krau, by the Arkansas Republican establishment 405 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: to stop me. I mean, I'm challenging, I'm primary challenging 406 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: a long time Arkansas incumbent US senator. He's been there 407 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: over twenty years. You know, he's just totally invisible. And 408 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: I think a lot of these Arkansas Rhino politicians they 409 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: they're they're threatened by me, quite frankly, because they recognize 410 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: that I'm not one of these guys are just going 411 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: to go along to get along, be part of the 412 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: Washington uniparty. Um, you know, just go up there and 413 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: be invisible. I actually believe what I'm saying, Like I'm 414 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: actually an America First candidate. I'm actually gonna hold them accountable. 415 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: And I'll be one of these guys who exposes these 416 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: rhinos from the right because they, you know, they these 417 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: politicians they claim to hate the left, they really don't 418 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: hate the left because the left is a convenient enemy 419 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: for them. Who they really hate, who they really despise, 420 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: are the true believers in the Republican Party. Okay, US 421 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: senators like Rand Paul and Josh Holly and Ted Cruz 422 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: and Ron John Okay, the people like JD. Vans and 423 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: Blake Masters and myself, you know, people like Ronda Santis. 424 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: They hate us the most because we show them what 425 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: real leadership looks like. Look, we show the people, their voters, 426 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: their constituents, the people they're supposedly representing. We show them 427 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: what's possible, Like we can have nice things. We don't 428 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: have to have Mitt Romney's and people like that up 429 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: and down the ballot in every single election cycle. We 430 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: don't have to have that. It can be better. So 431 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: I think that's why they're trying to take me out 432 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: here in Arkansas. But I don't think it's gonna work. 433 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we're surging. We're getting good reports back from 434 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: early voting. The primary date is May twenty fourth. You know, 435 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: it's looking like it's going into a runoff between myself 436 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: and Senator Bozeman. And if it goes to a one 437 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: on one runoff against me and John Boseman, we are 438 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: going to win. Jake, what are you seeing and hearing 439 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: from people that they care about the most on the 440 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: ground in Arkansas right now? So a great example of 441 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: kind of the dichotomy between the bleeding heart the beating 442 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 1: heart of the grassroots, you know, versus the DC establishment. 443 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: Is this issue over foreign ad in Ukraine. You know, 444 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: we're the Senate's about to vote to pass this forty 445 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: billion dollars foreign a program to Ukraine. And look, I've 446 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: got no love for the Russian Federation. But when I 447 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: talked to voters on the ground here in Arkansas, Okay, 448 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 1: they don't care about the territorial sovereignty of corrupt governments 449 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe. Okay. They care about the territorial sovereignty 450 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: of our country of America. We have a wide open 451 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: southern border, Okay, we have millions of elite immigrants coming 452 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: into this country every single year. Okay, we had in Arkansas. 453 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: I talked to county sheriff's and use people wouldn't believe 454 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: the amount of fentneil that comes into our state right 455 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: up by thirty through tech Arcana up through lit Iraq, 456 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: and that comes straight from Mexico in the US Mexican border. 457 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: So you know, we have a baby formulas. I mean, 458 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm actually saying that. But why are 459 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: we sending forty billion dollars to Ukraine, Okay, well into 460 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: what is essentially the bloodlands of eastern Europe when we 461 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: have young mothers in Arkansas and across this country who 462 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: are wondering how they're going to feed their babies. So 463 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: I think that is to disconnect between the voters, the constituents, 464 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: the people who have boots on the ground, who do 465 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: the living and dying and working and praying in Arkansas, 466 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 1: versus their elected leaders in Washington.

There's always going 499 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: to be a new sound bite where you will hear 500 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: yourself saying did she really say that? After you've listened 501 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: to it. Here is the Vice President of the United States. 502 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: This was while she was discussing climate change. And this 503 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: is to our theory that she's always the student in 504 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: the class who didn't do the reading but wants to 505 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: speak anyway and thinks that she's fooling everybody, but she's 506 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: not actually fooling anybody. Here she is. That is especially 507 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: true when it comes to the climate crisis, which is 508 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: why we will work together and continue to work together 509 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to 510 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: work together as we continue to work operating from the 511 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: new norms, rules and agreements that we will convene to 512 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: work together on to galvanize global action. With that, I 513 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: thank you all. This is a matter of urgent priority 514 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: for all of us, and I know we will work 515 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: on this together. Wait a second, Clay, I got a question. 516 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: Do you think she wants us to work on this together? 517 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: My favorite part of that entire clip is when she 518 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: says work and recognizes that she's about to say together 519 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: again and catches herself, and yet she still managed to 520 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: say work together five times in thirty four seconds. That's 521 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: a thirty four second clip that you guys just heard. 522 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: How is it post? I mean this honestly, How is 523 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: it possible that someone who is this bad at communication 524 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: is a heartbeat away from the presidency? And how bad 525 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: is it that someone who is this bad at communication 526 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: is a heartbeat away from the presidency and that Joe 527 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: Biden is still better than her? Is Kamala Harris the 528 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: only person in America that Joe Biden would be a 529 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: better president than in the Democrat Party that was in 530 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: the mix to potentially be their nominee. And I asked 531 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: this question last night on Fox News book But it's 532 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: one we've had fun with before. Unfortunately, I can't even 533 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: name a competent person in the Biden administration who I 534 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: would say, Hey, if I had to draft somebody, because 535 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: we know Joe Biden's not driving policy or making decisions. 536 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: If I had to draft somebody in the Biden White 537 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: House that I think is really competent, even though I 538 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: might disagree with them, I'm not even sure who I 539 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: would pick. It really feels like they are doing the 540 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: equivalent of tanking for the overall number one draft pick, 541 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: which sports teams sometimes do, except I don't know what 542 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: the payout is for the Biden administration. I think that 543 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: they've reached a stage now, Clay, where they know they 544 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: can't even rely on the media the same way they 545 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: have in the past because they haven't given them enough 546 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: to work with. So it's just gonna get even uglier, 547 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: meaning you're gonna they're gonna try to make this about 548 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: everything other than what it is that has been done 549 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: for the two years. Remember it's not just Biden, it's 550 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: Democrat control of the government. The Democrats have been in 551 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: control for two years and it is a disaster. Everything 552 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,719 Speaker 1: that they are doing is bad, dumb, or destructive. It 553 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: is now going on two years of this. Folks, we 554 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: have all seen it. There is not a single area 555 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: Clay used to. Were you debate Nerdin high school too, 556 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about I was not. Oh my son, my 557 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: fourteen year old is all in on debate, which is great. 558 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: Play had friends and like to socialize. I was a 559 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: debate nordin high school, and I could tell you that, 560 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, there was always that moment where you go, oh, man, 561 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,239 Speaker 1: that's actually a good argument, you know, and you had 562 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: that moment of oh, that's gonna be a tough one 563 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: to get around. I never have that with this Biden administration. 564 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if I could, if it was there, if 565 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: I could make the case, because I one are all 566 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: I always want our audience, Ie, the folks that are 567 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: listening to us. I don't ever want them to be 568 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, at the barbecue or the luncheon or whatever, 569 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, watching the baseball game with the parents in 570 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: the stands and not know what the Libs are gonna 571 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: say and feel like they're caught off guard by what 572 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: the argument is here. The arguments that they're making essentially 573 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: boiled down to hey, inflation is really high. Biden wants 574 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: to spend more money that'll make inflation worse. The Democrats 575 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: have fallen back on whatever, you sexist racist, that's really 576 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: where we are, I mean, and that's not just the 577 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: idiot commentators. That's actually what the Democrat part oh in 578 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: January six. Of course inflation is high January six. That's 579 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: what they do. This is what the AP, the Associated Press, 580 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: who's supposed to be the mainstream right we talked about 581 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: how Reuters has kind of been captured over the firing 582 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: of the guy who was sharing data surrounding BLM. This 583 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: is what the Associated Press put out over the weekend. 584 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: This is a direct headline to an article that they wrote. 585 00:32:54,720 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: Republicans aiming to retake control of Congress have blamed Democrats 586 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: for high inflation, expensive gas, migrants crossing the US Mexico border, 587 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: and violent crime. Now the baby formula shortage is becoming 588 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: the GOP's latest attack on President Biden. How yeah, who 589 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: else is to be blamed? Yes? Well, this is what 590 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: I mean. Their accountable in power should be held accountable 591 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: for screwing up everything. Correct, This is they're left with whatever, 592 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: shut up, you stupid face like they have. They don't 593 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 1: actually have an explanation for this. That doesn't sound like 594 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: they're effectively, um trying to hide from what has been 595 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: done in the policies that they've pushed. H Clay, do 596 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: you want to take call to you? By the way, 597 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: I was saying, let's do it. Let's take a couple 598 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: bow in Albany, New York. Bo What have you got 599 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: for us? Hey? How are you? I'm trying to be 600 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: quick about this. I'm up in New York State. We 601 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: have to think called the stafe factic Governor Cuomo put 602 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: in Okay, in the dark of the night, which was 603 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: to take us so much more. Okay, you can see 604 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: it's not gonna work. Evil was in the people. Okay, 605 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: we have the most restrictive gun laws. Now hopeful that's 606 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: talking about a maggotic has nothing to do it. Just 607 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: like the black man that said on the news that 608 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 1: they couldn't edit it, so he said, it's not the guns, 609 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: it's the person behind the gun that was up from Buffalo. Okay, 610 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: you're the most restrictive gun law. Now I'm gonna hit 611 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: this real clip in the aspect you say, how in 612 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: other states you can defend somebody and stuff like that. 613 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: In New York State, we have you have to retreat. 614 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: You have a You have a to retreat before you 615 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: engage anybody here in your own home. There is no 616 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: stand your ground law. There's none in New York states. 617 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: So god forbid, someone is going after one person next 618 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 1: to me, I have to stand that I can't defend them. 619 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm not thank you, thank you for calling. I'm not 620 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: an expert on New York law, but I want to 621 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: make sure we get this buck, and then I'll let 622 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: you probably know more about New York gun laws because 623 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: you've tried to actually use guns and purchase them in 624 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: the state before, and certainly New York's city is a 625 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: major outlier in terms of being able to have a 626 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: concealed carry permit and whatnot. I want to make sure 627 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: we mentioned this man's name. Aaron Salter was the Buffalo 628 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: security guard Buck who former Buffalo police officer who tried 629 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: to shoot this shooter. I believe the shooter was wearing 630 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: body armor. But one of the things that I think 631 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 1: is important is let's not in some way give all 632 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: of the attention to the shooters in these mass shooting events, 633 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: because what they want is attention. But let's make sure 634 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: that we praise the true heroes who are standing up 635 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: to these shooters. And in that Buffalo grocery store, that 636 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: former Buffalo police officer Aaron Salter, who was working as 637 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: a security guard, probably saved many lives by returning fire 638 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: at at the shooter and helping to focus his attention 639 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: potentially on him. Now he lost his life, but I 640 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: think we need to make Aaron Salter that name actually 641 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 1: well known in terms of the heroism that he showed 642 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: as a security guard located in that venue. My understanding 643 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: of self defense statutes in New York State is that 644 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: there's there's a reasonable reasonableness requirement to defend yourself or 645 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: others that can expand to others in a lethal force situation. 646 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: But there is the real issue is what will a 647 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: prosecutor in New York do and what how will a 648 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: jury find? And that's where it's very different here than 649 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: it would be in other places. So to the point 650 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: about the hero that you brought up, he's obviously security guard. 651 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: But if somebody else, if another civilian had tried to 652 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: stop that mass shooting in that circumstance, I think they 653 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: would have obviously had everybody backing them up. But there's 654 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: usually in a general legal sense, just a reasonable standard 655 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: of use of deadly force required, so it's but it's 656 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: not at standard ground law, so there are differences state 657 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 1: to state. We'll take some more calls the next hour, Clay, 658 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: and we've also got another great guest joining us, Jade 659 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: Vance of Ohio. We'll talk to him just a little 660 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: bit
