Welcome and everybody to the Clay Travis 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show on this Wednesday, January nineteen. Great 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,239 Speaker 1: to have you with us. We've got a lot to 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: talk to you about today. The Biden presidency in free 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: fall terms of the poll numbers, Biden not able to 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: get a grip on things. It seems he's going to 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: have a press conference this after yeo, I think unfortunately 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: after our show, so we won't be able to bring 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: it to you live or bring you our immediate reaction. 11 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: Because Clay and I would have a lot of fun 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: with a kind of like mystery science theater back in 13 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: the day, we could jump in and out of the 14 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: press conference one day. But here we are with a 15 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: Biden regime that seems not just out of its depth, 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: but in transigent unwilling to adjust to the new information. 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Let me just give you a quick sense of some 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: of the places we're gonna go today. First of all, 19 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: you have that horrific story out of Los Angeles where 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: a young woman was stabbed to death by a career criminal. 21 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: This Brianna Kupfer just murdered in a totally random, senseless, 22 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: horrific crime by a career criminal in a city that 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: has a DA who bends over backwards. He's a lib 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: of course bends over backwards. This is Gascone doing everything 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: he can to not punish criminals very severely. Clayton, I'll 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: talked about the criminal justice realities of America over the 27 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: course of the show today, and how where's Biden on this? Well, 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: why not give a speech? I want to give a 29 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: speech where he actually discusses how he's going to have 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: federal law enforcement working with local law enforcement to take 31 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: violent crime down, to take the bad guys off the streets, 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: and to tell das to punish the no. Instead, what 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna have today is a push for voting rights, 34 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: which even using that term, it's not voting rights, it's 35 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: tilting the scale toward Democrats in elections. Because you know 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: what matters to the more than inflation, skyrocketing crime, horace 37 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: southern border, the most illegal immigration we've had in memory. 38 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: You know what matters the more than all these things 39 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: and a weak economy and the omicron surge that has 40 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: made a mockery of Fauciism. Staying in power. Nothing matters 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: to the more clay than staying in power, and this 42 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: is where I think we have to not overestimate the 43 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: abilities of the other side Strategically. They know that they 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: have nothing really to stand on right now, and so 45 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: it seems to me like because they know they can't 46 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: actually win in a contest coming up of the American 47 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: people casting their votes in the midterms, the plan is 48 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: just to and I think it's a desperate plan. I 49 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: don't think there's a lot of sound strategy behind this. 50 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: You mentioned to me that people are starting to say 51 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: maybe some of Biden's top advisors, even the stealth president 52 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: so to speak, is in a position where he Ron 53 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: Klaine should take some of the blame. I don't think 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: that there is a grand Street TGIC vision motivating Joe 55 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: Biden right now. I don't think that Joe Biden would 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: be capable, and I think most people listening will agree 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: with us, and I bet you will agree with me. 58 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: Biden is not capable to sit down and map out 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: a grand strategic game plan. There just isn't that ability 60 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: with him. From a purely functional cognitive perspective right now. 61 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: Playing chess against Joe Biden would be a destruction like 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: I'm confident my fourteen year old would wipe the board 63 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: with him if they played a chess match, like he's 64 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: not able to think strategically. But Buck, what you and 65 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: I have believed is that there is a grand strategic 66 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: design behind many of the moves that Joe Biden has 67 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: made from whatever you want to describe as the Biden regime, 68 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: and Ron Klaine, who is his chief of staff, would 69 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: be the head of that strategic plan. If that is true, 70 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden were cognitively aware of what's going on around him, 71 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: he would recognize that he has been not only led astray, 72 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: he's been embarrassed. And I don't know that we talked 73 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: enough about what a slap in the face Kirsten Cinema's 74 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: Philibuster speech was last week, and how embarrassing it should 75 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: be for Biden. He was going to Capitol Hill, Buck, 76 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 1: after he made that speech on Tuesday of last week, 77 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: eight days ago, now calling everybody who disagreed with him, 78 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: George Wallace, Bullconnor, Jefferson Davis. He really thought he was 79 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: putting the screws to the Republican Party. And then as 80 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: he is preparing to drive to Capitol Hill and make 81 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: his You're with me speech to the Senate Democratic Caucus. 82 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: Kursten Cinema Buck didn't even wait for him to get 83 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: there and give him him the respect to hear his argument. 84 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: She went on the Senate floor and basically put three 85 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: gunshots into the idea tap tap tap of the Voting 86 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: Rights Bill and changing the filibuster so that when Joe 87 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: Biden actually arrived on Capitol Hill, all of his domestic 88 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: agenda was dead thanks to Joe Manchin for build back 89 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: Better and now thanks to Kirsten Cinema for the filibuster. 90 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: And that's a level of disrespect that his own party 91 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: is putting forth on Joe Biden. That's the kind of 92 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: disrespect you get, Buck, when you've got a thirty three 93 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: percent approval rating according to Quinnipiac and whoever puts you 94 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: in that position to fail like that, In my opinion, 95 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: if you are a real leader, you have to look 96 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: around for better leadership and advice. Joe Biden's not a 97 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: real leader. I don't know that he's capable of even 98 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: picking somebody to be his rategic leader, but they have 99 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: given him awful advice to govern from the left wing 100 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: of a party when he barely has a majority at all, 101 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: and right now it's all blown up in his face 102 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: and his own political party is revolting and leading the 103 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: revolution against him. I think it's also important that we, 104 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: and I mean the general we ever went across the country, 105 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: not make the mistake of thinking that Democrats right now 106 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: and that the base the Democrat party processes information the 107 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: way that all the rest of us do, meaning that 108 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: as more data comes in, whether it's about masking and 109 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: vaccine passports, or crime or just the realities of the 110 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: Biden presidency, they're going to shift. The most recent polling 111 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: on this makes it clear that yeah, ninety five percent 112 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: plus of Republicans think Biden's doing a terrible job. But 113 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: you could say, well, they're Republicans. Eighty percent plus of 114 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: Democrats think Biden is doing a good job, which is absurd. 115 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is brainwashing level in insanity that you're 116 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: looking at here. The indicator that has them all so 117 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: worried is at independence the people who can be swayed 118 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: politically speaking, to vote for or against Joe Biden as 119 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: a candidate. He's his support with them. Clay has gone 120 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: from roughly in the sixties to the low thirties dropped 121 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: in half. So the people who are not emotionally see 122 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: this is the problem with being a Democrat today. They're 123 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: emotionally and psychologically invested in Joe Biden at the expense 124 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: of reason, fact and experience because he's not Orange Man bad. 125 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: So we should be thankful for Graham pad Gerald. That's 126 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: really the attitude independence who may be believed because the 127 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: whole media was telling them. And look, I get it, 128 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: by the way. You know, you and I live in 129 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: the matrix of the news cycle, like we're plugged into 130 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: the matrix all day long. I mean, you know, you're 131 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: you're and I always tweeting and going on TV and 132 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: doing this stuff, even we're not on radio. For most folks, 133 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: if the entire media says Joe Biden he's just going 134 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: to be immoderate, he's going to be a return to normal, 135 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: they'll say, all right, well, that doesn't you know, I'm 136 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: talking about independence now, that doesn't sound so bad. I mean, 137 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: maybe I'll get this guy a shot. Those people are 138 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: already saying, oh my god, what have we done? What 139 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: is this guy doing to our country? And that the 140 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: focus right now in the new year with the clear 141 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: failure of their COVID policy. We'll talk more about the 142 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: four hundred million and ninety five masks and all that 143 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: in a few moments here, but with this clear failure 144 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: and the things that people care about the economy, safety 145 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: on the streets, and inflation, right these are the things 146 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: that really get people motivated right now politically across the country. 147 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 1: These are top of the top of the heap of concerns. 148 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: They're doing this whole voting rights thing and they can't 149 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: even show us. This whole voting suppression slash racism speech 150 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: that they constantly give is a figment of their imaginations. 151 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: This isn't a real thing to people who aren't essentially 152 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: professional Democrats who are paid to go on TV or 153 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: paid to be political consultants or run for office. No 154 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: one actually thinks this is happening, but they're obsessed with 155 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: it because Clay First. Their first order of business isn't 156 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: the safety of the American people the American economy. It's 157 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: how do we the Democrats and the regime, which is 158 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: not just Joe Biden with the people around him, stay 159 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: in power, and everything else a secondary to that. What 160 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: has happened here is First of all, there's not a 161 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: single person that can be pointed to in the entire 162 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: nation by the Democrats and say this person was unable 163 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: to vote because of existing laws. Not one person I 164 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, Buck that I've lived all over the 165 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: city of Nashville, which is a big city, inter city neighborhoods, 166 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: I've gone and vote, suburban neighborhoods I've gone to vote. 167 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: That's emblematic. I think of many people that are out 168 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: there listening to us right now. There's no difficulty when 169 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: it comes to being able to vote. So they're selling 170 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: one a falsehood. Second part here, though, and I think 171 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: we have to keep hammering this home, even with all 172 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: of the crazy change that were made in twenty twenty 173 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: because of COVID absentee ballots, the likes of which we've 174 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: never seen before, mail in ballots, the likes of which 175 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: we've never seen before, altered on their face, laws which 176 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: were not permissible under the existing state laws, emergency ballots, 177 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: all these different things that occurred in twenty twenty that 178 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: have not occurred for the rest of our democracy. The 179 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: Democrats are panicked because they lost the down ballot votes. Remember, 180 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean they lost House seats, but only Buck did 181 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: they win the presidency by forty thousand votes out of 182 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million cast. Even with the rig 183 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: job that was in place, with big Tech covering up 184 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: all the Hunter Biden stories, with the Google rig jobs, 185 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: with everything that was being given to Joe Biden to 186 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump, twenty thousand people in Wisconsin, in Georgia 187 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: and Arizona change their mind and Donald Trump is the president. 188 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: That's one NHL arena. That's one NBA arena full of 189 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: fans out of one hundred and fifty million plus who 190 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: supposedly voted right. That is why they are so panicked, 191 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: because they know that they're going to get destroyed in 192 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, which will take away their majority in 193 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: the House and probably their majority in the Senate. And 194 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: then in twenty twenty four Buck, they are looking, I 195 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: really believe this the right nominee, the right time, at 196 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: a red tide that's going to sweep them out. To see. 197 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: I honestly was saying this frequently because I don't believe 198 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: Clay that, you know, the job of anybody in media, 199 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: conservative media, talk radio should just be to always be 200 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: talking about you know, fire and primstone and everything's terrible. 201 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: I remember telling my audience before we teamed up in 202 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, guys, this is about as good as it's 203 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: going to get anytime soon under the Trump presidency, meaning 204 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: this is America is prosperous, peaceful, we're kicking butt. Things 205 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: are amazing. And you and I both agree if you 206 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: go into an election in twenty in the fall of 207 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen instead of the fall of twenty twenty pre pandemic, 208 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a walk in the park for Donald 209 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: Trump under normal circumstances. It was really an amazing three 210 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: well going into the fourth year, obviously with the pandemic, 211 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: but amazing three years of just upside for America. All 212 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: the stuff that we were supposed to be worried about 213 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: were figments of Democrat imagination, Russia collusion, and the rise 214 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: of the white nationalist threat to the heart of America. 215 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: All this stuff that they were saying was just media conjured. 216 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: And then we got hit with a pandemic and they 217 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: exploited it. And now they realized that there's some real 218 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: buyers remorse, voters remorse, perhaps you could say, from the 219 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: American people who decided to go along with this, and 220 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: that's why folks, they're gonna get desperate. Don't think that 221 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna say, you know what, we were wrong. They 222 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: were right. And they're also not going to say that 223 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: about masks and other things which I want to get 224 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: into it a second here, because a big you see 225 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: this out of the UK Clay big changes in the 226 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: UK right now I'm excited to talk about incredibly significant 227 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: and by the way, you do vote with your money 228 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: every single day. Who and where you choose to spend 229 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: your money oftentimes ends up being a part of a 230 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: company's political donations to one candidate or another. They never 231 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: talk about it or disclose it. You have to look 232 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: into it yourself, your cell phone provider and the bill 233 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: you're paying each month. You might be surprised to see 234 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: the list of leftist candidates pushing leftist agendas on their 235 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: list with your money. But there's a solution. It's Pure Talk. 236 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: Get your cell phone service from pure Talk. They use 237 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: the exact same to ours, exact same, exact, same five 238 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: G network as one of those companies. But with the 239 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: peace of mind that you're supporting a veteran run business 240 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: with employees all here in the US. We're proud customers 241 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: for that reason alone. Buck, how can you hook people up? 242 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: It's so easy.

You'll save an additional fifty 244 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: percent off your first month. Again, that's dial pound two 245 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: five zero and just say the words pure Talk. Welcome 246 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: back in Lake Travis buck Sexton show. Rolling through the 247 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: Wednesday edition of the program. We are joined now. We've 248 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: talked a lot about what's going on on the Senate 249 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: floor by from the Great State of Tennessee. Senator Marsha Blackburn. 250 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn, thanks for taking time to come chat with us. 251 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: What's going on on the Senate floor right now? Is 252 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: it pertains, the voting rights bill, the filibuster debate. How 253 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: much longer is this going to go on? And what's 254 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: the ultimate outcome going to be for people out there 255 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: who are paying some attention to what's going on on 256 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: the Senate floor today. Yes, what you will see us 257 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: and do is go to the floor at six thirty 258 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: to vote cloture on this federalizing of election bill this 259 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: year trying to push forward. That vote will fail and 260 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: then they will move to have what they're calling Schumer 261 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: is calling a talking sylibuster, and that is going to fail. 262 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: The point is this, what he's trying to do is 263 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: blow up the Senate, blow up the rules of the Senate, 264 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: blow up the courts. They want to pass this socialist 265 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: agenda which would cederalize elections. It would take control of 266 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: your kids, control of their education, control of your bank account, 267 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: add and expand the court. It would make DC estate. 268 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: And they cannot accomplish this because when they get to 269 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: the Senate to move forward on these legislative items, they 270 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: have to have sixty vote. So you know, we are 271 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: stating united, we are pushing against this, We're pointing out 272 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: what they're doing. We need to keep the filibuster so 273 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: that we can keep the rules of the Senate, the 274 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: rule of law, and abide by the Constitution. Senator Blackburnard's buck, 275 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: I just want to know. So that's ostensibly what Chuck 276 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: Schumer and the Senate Democrats want to get. It seems, Clint, 277 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: I have been trying to analyze us for a few 278 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: days now. It seems inevitable it's going to fail. So 279 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: what is then the second order effect of this, if 280 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: you will, what comes afterwards? Is this merely to give 281 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: them a talking point going into the midterms that they 282 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: wanted to pass voting rights and the Republicans because they're 283 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: so racist, and there's Jim Crow two point zero to 284 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: borrow the phrase from Biden. Is that really what this 285 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: is to set up essentially a smear over voting rights 286 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: of their political opponents, or is there something else? Yeah? Yeah. 287 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: One of the things at work is that Chuck Schumer 288 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: is fully aware he is facing a primary opponent in 289 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: Alexandria a Casio Cortez, and so AOC coming against him. 290 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: He is wanting to protect himself. Second, what you are 291 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: seeing is that they are trying to get everybody on 292 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: the record so if they can go out and say, well, 293 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, the President went to Georgia and he gave 294 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: the speech and he told everybody, if you're not for this, 295 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: you're racist. And that is the type thing that they're 296 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: trying to set up. The thing is, the Constitution gives 297 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: states the ability to set their time place in manner 298 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: of elections. It gives that to the state legislatures, not 299 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: to the courts, not to election administrators, but to the 300 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: state legislatures, and the states are looking for ways to 301 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: make it easier to vote, harder to cheat. That is 302 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: their goal, that is our goal. We think voter participation 303 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: is a very good thing and we want to see 304 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: that continues. Senator Blackburn, I know you were as discussed 305 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: as I was when you saw one of the owners 306 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: of the Golden State Warriors, so you didn't care at 307 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: all about genocide in China. The NBA, not surprisingly, despite 308 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: the fact that they claim to be a social justice league, 309 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: has said virtually nothing about this, players, coaches, other owners. 310 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: What do you think should happen as a result of 311 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,719 Speaker 1: those comments? Was it just saying the quiet part out loud? 312 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: How outraged were you when you heard and saw those comments? 313 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: I could not believe it. I thought it was a mistake. 314 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: And then that the NBA and Adam Silver didn't come 315 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: out and say something about it was appalling to me, 316 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: you know. And you have the Golden State Warriors that 317 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: have not come out and disavowed these comments. And now 318 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: you know they're trying to welcome back and nuance, but 319 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: I think they need a good dose of eniscanter freedom 320 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: when it comes to understanding some of these issues. We 321 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: know the world knows that's the Chinese Communist Party is 322 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: carrying out a genocide on the weaker Muslim population in 323 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: Jinjang Province, say no, that they are using them for 324 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: slave labor to make products that are sold not only 325 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: in the US but around the globe. But people are 326 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: so timid when confronting the Chinese Communist Party because they think, well, 327 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: they're going to come at you with a heavy hammer. Well, 328 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: yeah they do. If they have banned me from China, 329 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: they've sanctioned to me. And we continue to say what 330 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: they're doing is wrong, and we continue to stand against it. 331 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: And it would be nice to see the NBA say, 332 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to move our training facility 333 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: from Xinjiang Province. It would be nice for the US 334 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: Olympic Committee to say we're not going to let these 335 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: athletes be subjected to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party. 336 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: But people are just cowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party 337 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: and it is frustrating and it is not good for 338 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: the cause of freedom. Speaking Marsha Blackburn and or Blackbournt, 339 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: I know you're not in a border state in Tennessee, 340 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: but you are somebody who is vocal about the challenges 341 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: that we have at the southern border, which continue on. 342 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: It's amazing to me sometimes how little attention this actually gets. 343 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: The Biden regime's approach to the border has resulted in 344 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: the past year really an unprecedented amount of illegal immigration 345 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: into this country, and no one thinks it certainly hasn't stopped, 346 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: and no one believe it is going to continue. I mean, 347 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: it's going to cease anytime soon. So do you think 348 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: that the Democrats are going to have a reckoning with 349 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: that issue this year as long as the voters are 350 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: made aware of just what's happening. You know, but every town, 351 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: subborder town in every state, suborder state right now because 352 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: of the impact of drugs, sex trafficking, human trafficking, gangs, 353 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: crime in the streets, and I do believe is that 354 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: this administration would be well advised to do something to 355 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: secure that southern order. You have people from one hundred 356 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: and sixty different countries that came across that border, two 357 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: million illegal aliens that sought to be apprehended. Then you 358 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: have hundreds of thousands, maybe over a million, of the goataways, 359 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: people that came across the border that we do not 360 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: know who they are. And yes, indeed it is going 361 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: to be a reckoning because people are seeing the vast 362 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: amounts of sentinel that are making it into this country. 363 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: They are hearing about deaths that are in their communities 364 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: because of this centinel, and what they're saying is no, 365 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: this needs to be dealt with. They're looking at crime 366 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: in the streets and gangs that are coming into their communities. 367 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: What they are seeing is individuals that are being flown 368 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: under the cloak of darkness, those that have illegally entered 369 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: the country and they're going in their communities and the 370 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: communities that are left with addressing the cost of school 371 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: and healthcare and social services for these individuals. They are 372 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: also looking at how this makes these communities less safe 373 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: when it is the games that are entering into these neighborhoods. 374 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: And one of the top issues with women is security. 375 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: It is crime in the streets. Senator Blackburn, I know 376 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: you're busy on the Senate floor today and tonight. We 377 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: appreciate that, and we'll talk to you again soon. You 378 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: got it, take care of Bye bye, no doubt.

It's the 384 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: first of a kind community of one hundred and ten 385 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: homes for the Foundation's program recipients, so together families can heal. 386 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: It's going to be a special place where families know 387 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: what their neighbors, understand and care about their issues. A 388 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: community where the children of our nation's fallen or catastrophically 389 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: injured heroes can grow and experience life together. The Foundations 390 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: Do Good Village is going to help these families beyond measure, 391 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: and it's all thanks to an extraordinary donation of many 392 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: acres of land and your generosity help America's greatest heroes 393 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: and their families healed together. Make the Do Good Village 394 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: the first of many communities like it, because with every 395 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: mortgage free home, the Foundation makes good on its promise 396 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 1: to do good and never forget the sacrifices our heroes 397 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: have made for our country and our communities. Donate eleven 398 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: dollars a month to Tunnel the Towers at t twot 399 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: dot org. That's t the number two t dot org. 400 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: Welcome to the third hour of the Clay Travis and 401 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We have a lot to talk about 402 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: when it comes to crime and criminal justice in this 403 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: country in this hour. Also, they're terrified of rhn des 404 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: sentence on a separate notetically speaking, and that's a good 405 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: sign for the disantis fans out there. When the left 406 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: is angry at you, you know you're doing something right. 407 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: We'll get to that later on. For right now, we 408 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: have a number of heinous crimes that have occurred across 409 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: the United States, well, notably in big cities like Los 410 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: Angeles and New York City, although their crimes happening every 411 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: day and record numbers. Remember, twenty twenty one was a 412 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: year of all time murder highs in a number of 413 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: major American cities, enormous increases in a lot of cities, 414 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: double digit increases in dozens of American cities over the 415 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: last twelve to eighteen months, of course, coinciding with the 416 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: rise of the BLM movement as well. And so the 417 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: theory that I've always put forward that Black Lives Matter 418 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: as a movement manages to make everything worse for everyone, 419 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: and notably for young black men in America. It makes 420 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: everything worse for everyone. The data proves that out. But 421 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: here's what we've gone through just in the last week 422 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: in this country, when we're talking about crime and what's 423 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: happening in America today. You have Sandrachelle's punched in the head, 424 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: fell down and hit her head and later died. She 425 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: was a nurse in Los Angeles waiting to be picked 426 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: up by a bus. It's a nurse who was just 427 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: doing her day to day life. Brianna Kupfer, who was 428 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: stabbed to death while working at a store in Los 429 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: Angeles by a well, we'll get into the criminals and 430 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: who they are on their backgrounds at a moment. And 431 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: then Michelle go who was pushed in front of an 432 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: oncoming subway car and struck fatally by that subway car 433 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: in Time on the Time Square subway station. This is 434 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: right near where I am in New York City. It's 435 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: a subway station that in earlier times I would have 436 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: used all the time. But everyone these days is more 437 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: and more concerned about being on the subway. And here's 438 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: what's obvious about all this right away, Either the criminals 439 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: that do this are known criminals. The people that have 440 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: murdered these three women were known to authorities with long 441 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: criminal records, violent criminal records, and yet they're back out 442 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: on the streets. What is the response of Eric Adams, 443 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: the new mayor of New York City to the murder 444 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: of Michelle Go, an Asian American woman pushed in front 445 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: of the subway car. We need more mental health resources, 446 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: he says, for this city. Well, there's actually a whole 447 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: other approach, which would be we need to enforce the 448 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: law and get serious about crime in America today. Here 449 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: is the father Brianna Kupfer was stabbed to death in 450 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: the store in Los Angeles. Horrific crime, completely random, unprovoked, 451 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: just a vicious murder. Here's her father speaking about this 452 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: issue on Fox Todd Cup for play clip. I'm not 453 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: blaming anybody by name. I blame what's endemic in our 454 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: society right now is that everybody seems to be oriented 455 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: on giving back rights and bestowing favor on people that 456 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: rob others of their rights. We should be celebrating the 457 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: good in people, not tear down communities by exposing them 458 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: to people that are falling out the bottom that really 459 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: don't care about the other human beings and just think 460 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: they can do whatever they like in our society, and 461 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: they are doing it more and more. That's the father 462 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: of the victim in LA. This brutal murder that occurred. Buck, 463 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: you had a recent graduate of college working in a 464 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: furniture store middle of the day. She is brutally murdered 465 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: in the middle of the day by a career felon 466 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 1: who has been arrested dozens of times. You have the situation. 467 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: And by the way, this is a major point of 468 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: discussion right now in Los Angeles, a city that I 469 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: really like and have spent a substantial amount of time 470 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: in in my career because Fox Sports is based in LA. 471 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: So I have been out in LA. Other than where 472 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: I went to college in Washington, DC and where I 473 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: live in Nashville. I've been in LA more time in 474 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: my life than anywhere else in the world. And this 475 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: is resonating in a big way, a middle of the 476 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: day murder by a career felon who should have never 477 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: been on the streets. And Buck, you can speak to this, 478 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: and I know a lot of our staff in New 479 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: York City can. For the people out there that don't 480 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: live in New York City. What happened to Michelle Go, 481 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: This forty year old woman who was in the subway 482 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: never even saw her attacker who shoved her in front 483 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: of an oncoming subway train. This is a fear that 484 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: is palpable for people who take the subway in New 485 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: York City. For people who live in New York this 486 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: is something that is always in the back of your mind, 487 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: this idea that someone might just come up and shove you. 488 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: For anybody who's taken the subway before, if you're standing 489 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: near the edge of that train platform when it comes 490 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: roaring in, you know how potentially able to be shoved 491 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: in front you are, how much of a victim you are, 492 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: how much you're relying on just the basic decency of 493 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: society to be able to board that subway train. And 494 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: so for both of these incidents, and by the way, 495 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: I think this is important buck these are not outlier incidents, right, 496 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, these are not 497 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: things that occur that are so outside of what's going 498 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: on elsewhere. They're just two anecdotes which are reflective of 499 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: the rapid rise in violent crime that we have seen 500 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: in this country, and those are the two biggest cities 501 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: in America, and right now, if you're in New York 502 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: in LA, you have heard and probably discussed with some 503 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: of your friends and family about both of these cases. 504 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: And they are emblematic of democratic policy failures that violent 505 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: criminals are being allowed to maraud in our streets and 506 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: kill completely one hundred billion percent innocent people. These women 507 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: had no chance to defend themselves, they had no hope. 508 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: Public perception and social cohesion matters a whole lot when 509 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: it comes to crime. Right why is and you can 510 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: talk about the socioeconomics behind it, but poverty actually doesn't 511 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: cause violent crime. There are a lot of very very 512 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: poor societies where violent crime is actually quite rare. So 513 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: it's not poverty, that's not true. There's often a perception 514 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: of whether or not certain behaviors will be tolerated. There's 515 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: an escalation among the criminal class because in every society 516 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: there's a small percentage of people who are committing a 517 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: vast majority nearly all of the violent crimes. That's just 518 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: the reality all around the world. And so when you 519 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: look at this and you say, why is it that, 520 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: Why is Tokyo so much safer than Rio de Janeiro, 521 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: for example, just to pick two cities, I mean Rio 522 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: has a very very high crime rate and Tokyo has 523 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: an incredibly low crime They're both mega cities with millions 524 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: and millions of people. Well, it's because you create a culture, 525 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: essentially a public perception of how the police are going 526 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: to react, what the public believes, how the public interacts 527 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: with each other, social cohesion, social trust. That's why the 528 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: subway platform thing is so First of all, it's so 529 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: horrific to think you'd be she was just looking at 530 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: her phone and some lunatic shoves her in front of 531 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: an oncoming train, and it's a horrible, horrible way to die, 532 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: and think about that's done her family. But beyond that, 533 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: you see now that the Democrat policies of allowing and 534 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: being permissive of the criminal class is disastrous. And we've 535 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: gone through this before in America as a society, as 536 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: a country, and we learn the lesson, and now it's 537 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: as though they want us to unlearn the lesson. And 538 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: they have no good explanation or excuse for this. And 539 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, clay one thing that's really omnipresent. 540 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: I know Tucker last night on his show on Fox, 541 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: did a whole thing on homelessness in American cities. It 542 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: is a normal thing. And I can even remember recently myself. 543 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: I was walking with my mother, this is maybe a 544 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 1: few months back, and a person came up and started 545 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: screaming the most horrific profanity imaginable. And it was a female, 546 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: by the way, in our faces. And you just realize 547 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: that this has now been normalized, that there are essentially 548 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: insane vagrants who wander the streets urinating, defecating and shouting 549 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: threats and profanity at people. And if you and the 550 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Democrat and this is where we get into the politics 551 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: of this a bit in the Democrat rat mindset. If 552 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: you have a problem with this, if you want these 553 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: people to be taken off the street, if you want 554 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: these people to be incarcerated for crimes they commit without 555 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: the whole Oh, they just need mental health services, depending 556 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: of course, on the individual case. You're a bad person. 557 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: They'll often call you a racist, depending on the race 558 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: of the person involved in this, and they want to 559 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: shut you down. You're not allowed anymore. Clay as a 560 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: New Yorker to be upset and complain about people relieving 561 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: themselves and doing heroin in broad daylight on Broadway on 562 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: the corner of wherever you live, because social justice says 563 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: you have to just take it. That's what the Democrat 564 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: parties turned into. And I want to hit you with 565 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: this too, Buck, because I think you can speak to 566 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: this based on your background. Violent crime is typically not 567 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: the first thing that someone does. This is why getting 568 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: people who commit crimes off the streets is so important. 569 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: You can speak to this, I think on the percentage basis. 570 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: But this guy, for instance, in La killed this young 571 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: girl in a furniture store. He've been arrested dozens of 572 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: times for several violent offenses. Usually the first offense you 573 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: commit is not killing someone, right. People don't usually just 574 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: jump from complete innocence, complete law abidingness to suddenly committing 575 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: a violent murder. Now, maybe that happens in crimes of 576 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: passion type situations more so, but it's still very rare 577 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: that the first thing on somebody's rap sheet is murder. 578 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: So this is why the three strikes in your outfelony 579 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 1: law made sense back in nineteen ninety four and beyond, 580 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: because there is an idea that as you commit crimes 581 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: and by the way get away with them. You graduate 582 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: in essence to the severity of the crime that you 583 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: might attempt. There's a lot of evidence of that, right. Well, 584 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: this is like with heinous violent crimes. A lot of 585 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: the time people that end up becoming whether it's a 586 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: school shooter situation or people that just go on to 587 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: do the worst kinds of acts. You go back and 588 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 1: you always find out invariably that you know they were 589 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: torturing animals or that they're there were There are always signs, 590 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. There's always these earlier indicators, and 591 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: oftentimes it's building up through crimes over time that you 592 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: see that someone's heading for this. It doesn't get better, right, 593 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't go from you know, I stole uh, you know, 594 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: I stole a jacket too, I stole a car too, 595 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: I committed an armed robbery to oh, you know, now 596 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna Now I'm gonna downscale it and just engage 597 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: in a little you know, medicare fraud. No, No, that's 598 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: not the direction it heads in. And we all know 599 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: that just from our our lived experience, you could say, 600 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: as human beings and seeing what it's like in these 601 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: societies we'll come back in the more of this, because 602 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: I think Eric Adams is unfortunately going to be a 603 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: huge disappointment on this issue. He spoke about the subway 604 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: system and whether it's safe or not. Clay, we should, 605 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 1: we should address and then we've got the media already 606 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: get You're gonna see so many rhndescentis is worse than Trump, 607 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: as in scarier than Trump. There's already that happening.

Both Buck and I have had omicron, 651 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: but a lot of different pilots and flight attendants have 652 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: which has necessitated all sorts of scrambling in terms of 653 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: the flight situation. So hopefully my flight will actually take 654 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: off tomorrow. But Buck, you're gonna have the show solo, 655 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: and it should be a it should be a really 656 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: fun show for you as you are doing it from 657 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: your apartment recovering from COVID, And then it's gonna be 658 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: fun for me to get down to Fort Myers and 659 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: then then I can wear a scarf or whatever I like, 660 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: and no one will leave it, no one will even know, 661 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: nobody will call you out. I can rock the indoor 662 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: ascot folks and no one leave another difference. But I 663 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: will say I have to, I have to give a 664 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: moment of appreciation for my tag team member here, mister 665 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: Clay Travis, because I have started watching both Yellowstone and 666 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: eighteen eighty three. Yes on your recommendation, and I will, 667 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: because of course, what better time to start ripping through 668 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: shows then when you're literally home alone in quarantine for 669 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: a week and can't see anyone, it can't do anything. 670 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,479 Speaker 1: Eighteen eighty three, I think is fabulous. Yeah, and I've 671 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: already watched the whole slew of episodes that are out 672 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,919 Speaker 1: so far, such a well done show. I don't even 673 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: this guy, Taylor Sheared, and I never heard of him 674 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: before all this stuff. I want to be like, this 675 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: guy's like a modern American, you know, film genius. And 676 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: then then there's Yellowstone, which I'm now I'm I'm like 677 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: halfway through the first season, and it is. I have 678 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: to say, it is very good. But I do actually 679 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: think I probably like eighteen eighty three a little bit better. 680 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: But I do think eighteen eighty three is better done. 681 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: I mean, look, the conceit of television is often you 682 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,399 Speaker 1: take two different shows and you throw them together and 683 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,439 Speaker 1: create something new. And so if you were saying, hey, 684 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: what is the what is that sort of alchemy? Look 685 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: like that created Yellowstone, I've been saying, Hey, it's sort 686 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 1: of like you mixed Dallas with the Sopranos. Right, It's 687 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: not either of those, but it's a very melodramatic version 688 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: of a television program. If that makes say, well, this 689 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: is how they used to pitch movies, right, I mean, 690 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: the original pitch for Ghostbusters, according to Dan Ackroyd, was 691 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 1: was ghost Janitors in Space, believe or not. I was 692 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: supposed to be in space the initial screenplay for that. 693 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: But how are we doing with the Peaky Blinders watching Travis? 694 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: I have not. Yeah, I haven't watched hardly any television 695 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: because for people out there who know, the Super wild 696 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: Card weekend in the NFL was Saturday Sunday TV. Though, yeah, 697 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: that's six different games though that are the essence of 698 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. So I have not watched hardly anything other 699 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: than the NFL on television. I am thinking that I'll 700 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: watch some Peaky Blinders when I am in Florida solo 701 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: now with lots of time theoretically to kill. By the way, 702 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: some good news Starbucks just happening right. You just saw 703 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: the news come across Starbucks has rescinded their vaccine mandate 704 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: for workers. I hope that there are going to be 705 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: other places doing the same going forward in the wake 706 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court decision. But also as we now 707 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: recognize that the vaccine isn't stopping people from getting omicron. 708 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: If everybody's gonna get it, it's hard to argue that 709 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: you have to have a vaccine mandate. Buck what you 710 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 1: got for us? Interest rate hikes are coming three maybe 711 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: four this year, and they could happen as early as March. 712 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: That makes now the time to cut down on your 713 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: debt and spend less on interest by refinancing before it's 714 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: too late.
