1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to the Clay Travis and 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show on this Thursday, June thirtieth. Appreciate you 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: joining rolling with us. A lot of news coming down today. 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: We have a Supreme Court decision five four for the 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: wrong side. Unfortunately on the remain in Mexico policy. The 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: Biden administration is able to end it. We will get 8 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: into the details of it. There's some intricate legal analysis 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: of the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Administrative Procedures Act, 10 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: all that stuff. We'll give you a little bit of that, 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: but bottom line is Biden wants to let I legals 12 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: into the country and his DHS is doing it and 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: they're just going with it. So we'll get into more 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: of that. They could stop this, and they are choosing 15 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: to not stop this, and the Supreme Court is now 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: by five four decision, not going to stand in their way. 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: We also going to be joined later on the program 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: by the Attorney General of the State of Arizona, A. G. Bernovich, 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: and also third hour of the program, the Governor of 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: South Dakota, Christy Gnome. A lot going on at her state. 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: I want to talk to her about some of the 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: national political stories as well. Now there's so much we 23 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: oh and of course Biden saying he wants to get 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: rid of the filibuster, and they're gonna the system doesn't 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: work for them, and all of a sudden, the Libs 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: want to overthrow the system or overturn the system or whatever. 27 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: We'll see where that's going. Clay's got updates from Cinema 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: and Mansion that may put a bit of a damper 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: on the La Revolution, the switch in our government in 30 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: the Senate, and all the other things they want to do. 31 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: So we'll get into all of this here shortly. But 32 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: but first, I was really struck last night by the 33 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: headlines about what happened on the Upper east Side. As 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm here in New York City. I live 35 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: in Midtown Manhattan. I grew up on the East Side, 36 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: and the Upper east Side is the probably the safest neighborhood. 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: It's also generally an expensive neighborhood. Not all of it 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: is hyper expensive, but a lot of it is. But 39 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: it's a place you don't see shootings. It's a place 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: you don't really see much in the way of violent 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: crime even when the city is having a bad time 42 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: of it. And there was a mother with her baby, 43 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: walking the baby and a stroller, and the mother was 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: going for a walk and a gunman in a hooded 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: sweatshirt came up behind her and executed her with a 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: gunshot wound to the back of the head street in 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: Lexington Avenue for those of you who know New York City, 48 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: and this immediately sent a shockway through the city because 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: this is exactly the kind of story that gets everyone's 50 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: attention as this is how far the security situation, law 51 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: and order has deteriorated that in a neighborhood like the 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: Upper East Side of New York, where you're generally not 53 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: seeing as much violent crime, you have an execution in 54 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: a busy intersection of a mother with a baby. Clay 55 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Eric Adams came out last night. He actually went to 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: the scene of the shooting right away, so the mayor 57 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: knew that this was a moment that was going to 58 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: really obviously upset a lot of people, upset everyone in 59 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: the city of New York and around the country. But 60 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: also he know that they knew that there were political 61 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: ramifications from this kind of an incident and here's my 62 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: basic and we could go through it. My basic theory, 63 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: Clay is we all know what would actually bring the 64 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: crime levels down. We actually in New York City ran 65 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: the experiment of the nineties. We know what would be done. Democrats, 66 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: for ideological reasons, refused to do it. They just refused 67 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: to do it. They focus on guns. The focus was 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: not singularly on guns when they turned New York around 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: in nineteen starting in nineteen ninety, the year two thousand, 70 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: this is where we are now, and this is happening 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: in cities all over the country. A New York from 72 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, Buck around two thousand murders 73 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: a year, all the way down to three hundred. Giuliani 74 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: when he took over you or a kid, it was 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: around two thousand murders. New York was not a safe 76 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: place to be. And I think the number fell all 77 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: the way to like three hundred, under three hundred. It 78 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: was two two hundred and forty five and nineteen ninety 79 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: and got to two hundred and ninety two and twenty seventeen. Okay, 80 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: so an unbelievable success story in terms of making the 81 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: streets safer for everyone. These are the kinds of stories 82 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: that crystallize fear for many people. Because if someone has killed, 83 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: most of most deaths, most murders, as many of you know, 84 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: almost all of you know, probably involve people that you know. 85 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: That is, random acts of violence are rare. What has 86 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: become very commonplace Buck, suddenly in New York City is 87 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: guys on the subway going to work and somebody shoots 88 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: him and he dies, and he did it know that 89 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: guy at all? This is the Hispanic guy who worked 90 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: at Goldman Sacks that was a viral story. He was 91 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: the victim person Asian woman gets shoved directly in front 92 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: of a subway car as she's standing waiting to go 93 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: I think to yoga class one morning in New York 94 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: City as well. Now mom out pushing her baby and 95 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: a stroller gets executed. The details of who this guy 96 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: was and what exactly might have been behind it, we 97 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: still don't know. But if this was a truly random 98 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: act of violence, which Buck, it appears at least early 99 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: on that it was a random act of violence, everyone 100 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: immediately thinks for all three of those stories that could 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: have been me. It's different when you're involved in a 102 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: criminal underworld drug trade It's different when someone that you 103 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: know takes a violent act against you, but truly endom 104 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: acts of violence crystallize the killing fields that many of 105 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: the cities and states in our country have suddenly become 106 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: in the wake of the George Floyd protest and the 107 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: BLM riots. Let's be honest, that's the absolutely critical point. 108 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: Why did this all happen? Why is the murder rate 109 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: in New York City up sixty percent in four years, 110 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: especially given that the trend was down, down, down for 111 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: over twenty years decades, all of a sudden, it's up 112 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: sixty percent in less than four years. The murder rate 113 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, there were four hundred and eighty 114 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: eight murders here and other other cities like Baltimore that 115 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: are much smaller with considerably higher murder rates. Saint louis 116 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: considerably higher, right, But New York, because it's the biggest 117 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: city and honestly the biggest crime turnaround miracle is for 118 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: people that want to look at the data, who want 119 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: to look at what happened, a very good indicator of 120 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: what's gone on here. It is because of BLM, the 121 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: George Floyd riots, the Progressive Prosecutor movement and the Democrat 122 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: Party embracing this ideology up. We just have to enforce 123 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: fewer criminal laws. The criminal justice system is racist. This 124 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: is the mainstream Democrat belief and talking point. And therefore 125 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: the way to deal with the racim that racism that 126 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: they assess is in the system is to just enforce 127 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: fewer criminal laws, send people to prison for less time, 128 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: let people out for you know, earlier, all of it. 129 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: And when you look at New York, it is just 130 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: step by step, it's like Deblasio and now Adams. Although 131 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Adams is beginning to turn it around, was running a 132 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: how do I ruin this city program? They got rid 133 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: of the plane closed police unit Clay back in twenty fifteen. 134 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: Why well, I remember this. June fifteen, twenty twenty, the 135 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: New York Police Commissioner announced on Monday he was disbanding 136 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the police department Anti Crime Unit closed team that target 137 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: violent crime and have been involved in some of the 138 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: city's most notorious police shootings. You don't know notorious police 139 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: shoting is they was point to Amadu Diallo, which was 140 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: a bad incident. It was a mistake, but they thought 141 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: he had That was in nineteen ninety nine. Yeah, that story. 142 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: Whenever the journals right about this, it's well the plane 143 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: closed unit. This is in twenty twenty, plane closed unit. Man, 144 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: they were in some bad shoots like nineteen ninety nine. 145 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: These people, the journals, the Democrats, the police commissioner under 146 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: the Deblasi administration, and now what we see with the 147 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: progressive prosecutor Bragg and Daan and Mayor Adams. They're reckless 148 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: and they're wrong, and they just don't want to stop. 149 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: So he's fix he's fixating on guns. Play the number 150 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: of gunner they've I've seen estimates that they're over a 151 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: million guns in circulation New York City. They take about 152 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: ten thousand guns a year off the streets. Yeah. Oh, 153 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: but if they focus on the guns, they're really going 154 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: to solve the problem. It's idiocy. It's like there's a 155 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: lack of ability to do the basic math. They also 156 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: did away with stop, question and frisk, as you well know, 157 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: which was also incredibly important in terms of making people think, hey, 158 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't have a gun on me when I'm 159 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: walking around in a high crime area because the police 160 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: can stop and talk to me and then judge me 161 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: based on my reaction. To some questions whether or not 162 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: I might be carrying a gun, and unfortunately, Buck the 163 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: overwhelming number of the victims of these massive increases in 164 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: murders have been black, right, And if black lives truly matter, 165 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: where does BLM show up When all of these deaths 166 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: are occurring in inner cities, They're non existent. They are 167 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: not in any way involved. They show up if a 168 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: white police officer is involved in any sort of allegations 169 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: of impropriety. But when you have killing fields in our 170 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: inner cities and overwhelmingly young kids are the victims, they 171 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: don't say a word. And the media that shows up 172 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: to cover all these BLM protests and talks about how 173 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: awful police are, they don't say a word either. They 174 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: barely even mention these deaths. And it takes these sort 175 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: of viral, anecdotal, out of nowhere, random acts of violence 176 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: to even cut through and personify what's going on in 177 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: our cities right now. They got rid of stop, question 178 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: and frisk a judge sheer just decided that it was unconstitutional. 179 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: They got rid of the playing clothes unit. They changed 180 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: as many police procedures as they could, and a hyper 181 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: focus on restraint, holds and all these things to make 182 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: the cops thing, well, if I have to wrestle somebody 183 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: who could go for my gun and kill me while 184 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: I'm on the job, I better be careful that I 185 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: don't put, you know, my elbow in the wrong place, 186 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: or else I'm going to end up in prison as 187 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: the police officer. They cut the NYPD budget by ability dollars. 188 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: This is the fascinating thing play is at the same 189 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: time that we're hearing, and this is true in city 190 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: after city, New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles. They 191 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: talk about lowering gun crime and going after the illegal guns. 192 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: Arrests are way up for illegal gun possession in New 193 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: York City. Prosecution somehow are way down. And this is 194 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: the phenomenon that you see that's just enraging of people 195 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: who do terrible things. And think of all a lot 196 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: of the high profile cases in any city across the country. 197 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: They kill somebody out of nowhere and we find out 198 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: they've been arrested thirty times. You've been arrested seventy times. 199 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: There was somebody in New York City you just got 200 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: his one hundred shoplifting arrest. It was like the lib 201 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: media wanted to give him some kind of a prize. 202 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: Look at him. He's gotten away with it one hundred times. 203 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: This is a mindset. This is an ideology that democrats 204 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: have pushed for their It's rooted in virtue signaling. It's 205 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: rooted in the sense of guilt. It's rooted in their 206 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: belief that somehow you don't have to give cops. I mean, here, 207 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: Mayor Adams has neighborhood safety teams. This is what he 208 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: said in response to this. Clay. Listen to how they 209 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: describe this neighborhood safety teams the City of New York. 210 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: These are police squads intensively trained in minimal force techniques, 211 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: advanced tactics, car stops. De Escalation is essential to all 212 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: of it. Now, de escalation is important, but we're actually 213 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: trying to go after bad guys here, and the cops 214 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: have to feel supported and not be told that they're 215 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: basically social workers who happen to have a gun. Being 216 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: concerned that you're being too tough on criminals is a 217 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: luxury of a low crime environment. That's where we got 218 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: We got convinced that crime was not a major issue, 219 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: and we allowed it to creep back up, and then 220 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: the George Floyd BLM protest put this all on steroids 221 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: and the numbers. Now it's impossible to argue otherwise. You 222 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: go look in May of twenty twenty. In June of 223 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we basic suddenly went on a rocket ship, 224 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: a violent crime exploding because we attacked our police officers, 225 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: told them they couldn't do their jobs. And then that 226 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: combined with the soft on crime environment and I'm gonna 227 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: we come back, buck. I want to share an example 228 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: of how celebrities have helped to fuel the environment of 229 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: this awfulness. Lebron James in particular. I'll tell you about 230 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: something that happened in Akron that I bet almost none 231 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: of you have even heard of. Yeah, and I just 232 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: want to add to this as just in the background, 233 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: we keep talking about this because the Democrats aren't changing course. Really, 234 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: they're just hoping this goes away. And we're a month, 235 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: we're months away from an opportunity to actually have some 236 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: accountability for these bad ideas they have ruined cities? Folks, 237 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: Do you want to hold them accountable? And when you 238 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: hear Clay's story and the silence of Lebron Ja, I 239 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: mean of Lebron James on an issue. It's it's enraging, 240 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: but we've got to tell you the truth, no matter 241 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: how angry it makes some folks. Look, the cell phone 242 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: service I rely on is the cell phone service you 243 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: should rely on. It's Pure Talk, and the service connection, 244 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: the data speed, it's every bit as fast as the 245 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: big brand name service I had before. The only difference 246 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: is Pure Talk has plans that started twenty dollars a month, 247 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: not the eighty or ninety bucks the other companies want 248 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: you to pay. If you're with AT and T and 249 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: T Mobile, you're paying too much. They like charging you 250 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: a premium for data for services you don't actually even use. 251 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: Instead of paying eighty nine dollars a month to your 252 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: current provider, pay twenty dollars to pure Talk.

Welcome back 267 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. We're gonna talk a 268 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: little bit more about this in the implications of it. 269 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: But Buck, using the example of the random act of 270 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: violence that occurred in Manhattan, the woman pushing her baby 271 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: that was shot, this is not just happening in cities 272 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: like Manhattan. I want to tell you a detail here 273 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna talk about it a bit more. 274 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: Coming out of the break, almost no one is discussing 275 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: seventeen year old Ethan Lemming. He was murdered in the 276 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: parking lot of Lebron James's High School in Akron, Ohio. 277 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: They have now done the full autopsy. He was stomped 278 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: to death. Stomped to death in the parking lot of 279 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: Lebron james Is High School. His spine was broken. These 280 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: details are excruciating to even be able to share with 281 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: you from the autopsy. Joe Kenzie has written about it 282 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: up at OutKick dot com. But three guys have been 283 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: charged with stomping this kid to death. This started buck 284 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: over a water gun. There were kids playing basketball outdoors 285 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: at Lebron James's high school. Another kid riding in a 286 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: car came by with a water gun. Now, the kid 287 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: who was stomped to death, seventeen year old Ethan Lemming, 288 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: is a white kid. There were three adult black men 289 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: who stamped him to death, Donovan Jones allegedly, Tyler Stafford 290 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: Deshaun Stafford. They are twenty one, nineteen, and twenty years old. 291 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: Think about how much Lebron James has spoken out related 292 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: to violence and issues. Remember he posted a picture of 293 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: a cop who had fired a shot and said you're next. Basically, 294 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: he hasn't said a word. He has not mentioned Ethan 295 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: Lemming's name once. This kid was stomped to death buck 296 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: in the parking lot of his school, and Lebron James 297 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: all of his tweets, all of his Instagram messages, He's 298 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: weighed in on every left wing social justice issue, accused 299 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: everybody of racism. Three black kids stomped this white kid 300 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: to death in his parking lot. He hasn't even mentioned 301 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: this kid's name. When we come back, I just wanted 302 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: to talk about how focusing on identity overcrime has led 303 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: us to such a disastrous place in our country.

I 329 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: know you're probably very disappointed in the Supreme Court decision 330 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: on Remain in Mexico. Where does this leave us for 331 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: those of us who were concerned about border security and 332 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: what does it mean in particular for your state of Arizona. 333 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: Now that you've had a little bit of time to 334 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: digest the ruling, Yeah, I think it's very disappointing because 335 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court essentially said the Biden administration can end 336 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: the Trump Air Remain in Mexico program. It's very disappointing 337 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: because the Biden administration has completely abandoned the rule of law. 338 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: The border, and so you know, we were successful when 339 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: our office sued to have titled forty two Remain in Place. 340 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: So that's one of the tools. But the Remain in 341 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: Mexico policy was one of the policies that was helping 342 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: at least partially stem what was going on in the border. 343 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: And so as the Biden administration continues to you know, 344 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: basically decriminalize and incentivize people coming over here, when the 345 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: court strikes down this Remain in Mexico policy, that is 346 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: sending a message to people that want to illegally enter 347 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: a country all over that it's okay to do it. 348 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: And so, look, it wasn't the end all be all, 349 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: but it was one of the first things Joe Biden 350 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: got rid of, and he was sending a message to 351 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: people that he wasn't going to enforce border security. And 352 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: so I think that it's it's obviously dangerous because border 353 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: security is national security, and I think that Biden, Joe Biden, 354 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: has demonstrated that they're not just trying to abolish ice, 355 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: he's basically trying to destroy our whole southern border. Attorney 356 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: General Bernovich, we often look at the border situation first 357 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: and foremost from the perspective of how many how many 358 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: illegal aliens have crossed over and these are important numbers 359 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: we should all know. This a part of it that 360 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: I think it's far less attention, and it's also very 361 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: important when we're speaking about border security, is interior enforcement 362 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: of immigration laws. Essentially the people who are being let 363 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: into the United States after crossing and illegally. And this 364 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: goes a little bit to the Supreme Court decision today, 365 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: which I think was wrong, we decided, But nonetheless, are 366 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: their active deportations going on, for example, within your state 367 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: at levels that are similar to what they were under 368 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 1: the Trump administration? Have they dropped considerably? Because I think 369 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: that's also a place where you can see do they 370 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: want illegal immigration to stop or are they okay with it? 371 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: In the Biden White House, And that's exactly one of 372 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: the issues. One of the problems is because they aren't 373 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: deporting folks. And in fact, one of our lawsuits involving 374 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: their internment and the permanent guidance of the Biden administration 375 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: was the fact that under the US Code and Title 376 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: forty eight, it says they shall someone shall be deported 377 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: with that ninety days of a deportation order and there 378 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: are more than a million people in the country right 379 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: now with deportation orders that the Biden administration is refusing 380 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: to deport. And so these are folks like literally, you 381 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: have situations where people are being released from jails, from 382 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: prisons and they're just being released into our community with 383 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: paperwork to go report to a probation office somewhere, and 384 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: you know, who knows if they're going to and not 385 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: going to. And I know from even talking to some 386 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: of the folks I know in federal law enforcement that 387 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: even recently here in Arizona, there's a group of a 388 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: dozen folks from a country on our terror watch lists 389 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: from the Middle East that came over and before they 390 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: could be interviewed or question they were released. And no 391 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: one has any idea who where those dozen people are 392 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: going or where they're at. So that's the kind of 393 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: stuff that you keep you up at night. It's not 394 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: only these people being released our community, which I call 395 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: the decriminalization incentivization. At the same time, you have these 396 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: more than you know, four hundred thousand gotaways of people 397 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 1: that are trying to evade capture detection. Because I've been 398 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: to the southern border numerous times then you have people 399 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: literally coming over with their roller bags, their luggage. They 400 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: surrender to you know, the border patrol, they're put put 401 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: into van, their processed, and then they're just released. But 402 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: then you have these other folks, you know, the population 403 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: of Arlington, Virginia, greater the population of Arlington, Virginia, who 404 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: literally are crossing one hundred and ten degree desert in 405 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: Texas and Arizona, crossing twenty miles of desert, smuggling drugs 406 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: and smugging themselves into the country. And you have to 407 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: ask yourself, what do those godaways haven't in store for 408 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: the United States. And that's the problem, guys. This is 409 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: like a ticking time bomb, and we are going to 410 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: pay the cost, not only fiscally, but we're going to 411 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: pay the cost and lost American lives as a result 412 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: of the drugs in Fentinal and as a result of 413 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: these gang members and terrorists coming across our border. Mark 414 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: Kelly is up for reelection here in November. I know 415 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: you're running along with many other Republicans to potentially oppose him. 416 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: How monumental is this Senate race in Arizona given how 417 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: tight everything is right now? Fifty fifty in the Senate, 418 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: how vulnerable Ellie is and the disappointment coming off of 419 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: twenty twenty in Arizona. For people who don't live in 420 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: your state, can you contextualize us just how important this 421 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: race is. I tell folks all the time that Arizonas 422 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: want an Arizona Senator representing them. And Mark Kelly votes 423 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: with Chuck Schumer nine seven percent of the time, and 424 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: I always add to people he votes with Bernie Sanders 425 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: nine out at ten times. My goodness, guys, even Bernie's 426 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: wife doesn't agree with from nine out at ten times. 427 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. So Mark Kelly represents those East 428 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: Coast values. But when you have candidates that can't stand 429 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: up and you know, give a punch and take a 430 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: punch and articulating defend conservative values, we lose. I'm very 431 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: proud of the fact that in twenty eighteen, I actually 432 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: was outspent and I got more votes than Cinema or 433 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: McSally in the twenty eighteen election cycle because I'm a 434 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: known entity. I grew up here in Arizona. I'm a 435 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: first generation American, I live in the same neighborhood I 436 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: grew up in, and I'm a principled conservative at ten times. 437 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: People know what I stand for and what I believe, 438 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: and that's what's gonna that's what's gonna take to beat 439 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly. I mean, Arizona has a long history of 440 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: rejecting self funders, and if there's one thing we hate 441 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: more than self funders, it's you know, people from California 442 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: and East Coast trying to buy a Senate seat. Attorney 443 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: General Bernovich, I don't know how much of a sports 444 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: fan you are. I am a big sports fan. So 445 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: you may have seen this news. You may not have. 446 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm maybe breaking it for you right now. There are 447 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: reports that UCLA and USC are leaving the PAC twelve 448 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: and they would be joining the Big Ten. So the 449 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: Big Ten would be expanding from fourteen to sixteen teams. 450 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: For those of you out there listening who are sports fans, 451 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: so would be a big deal. You are in the 452 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: state of Arizona, Arizona and Arizona State are in the 453 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: PAC twelve. Do you have any sort of reaction, both 454 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: as a sports fan and maybe as a lawyer who 455 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: represents Arizona interest on that story that is just breaking 456 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: right now as we are talking with you. Okay, I 457 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: don't know how much time we have. But first and foremost, 458 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: I actually because I see the same gaming director at 459 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: one point, so I know a lot about sports and 460 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: sports gambling. So I actually supported New Jersey's lawsuit against 461 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: the NCAA when they struck down the federal prohibitions on 462 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: sports gambling. Yeah, that was a thing. I was there, 463 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: by the way, A. A. G. Bernovich in the Supreme 464 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: Court watching that argument. That's the only Supreme Court argument 465 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: I've ever watched in person. So that was a big 466 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: win for New Jersey striking down PASPA to allow sports gambling. 467 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: But right background, you join, we joined and supported that lawsuit, 468 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: And next time I'm at the Supreme Court, you should 469 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: come as one of my guests. It'll be a lot fun. 470 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: It'll be fun because you'll be the only other guy 471 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: wearing Adida's high tops along with you. So but so 472 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: in look, and I supported the way of the athletes 473 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: to get paid and compensated for using their image, likeness, 474 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: and name. So I have a healthy distrust of the NCAA. 475 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: I do think it's a cartel. And I just look. 476 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: My initial reaction is my goodness, the big ten When 477 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: I think of the Big ten I think of Wisconsin, 478 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: you know, Michigan versus Ohio state, the snow, and you know, 479 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: the big offensive linemen and you know, uh, you know, 480 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: three yards in a cloud of dust, right Woody Hayes, 481 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: Boschembuck or all that stuff, you know, Barry Alvres, you know, 482 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: so you think of that when I think of the 483 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: Big ten Um, I don't think of the West coast 484 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: and passing. And I'll tell you I'm a sun devil, 485 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: you know. I want to ask you a grippy, a 486 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: huge Sun Devil fan. And we used to have a 487 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: saying out here that the Trojans suck even the pope 488 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: hats condoms. So I don't care. What can I say 489 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: that on the ear? I don't know. But but my 490 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: point is is that, yeah, I've never been a big 491 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: fan of the University of Spoiled Children. And look, there's 492 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons to dislike LA and USC and 493 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: UCLA or two of them. A. G. Bernovich, Sir, thank 494 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,239 Speaker 1: you the attorney gentleman, State of Arizona. Thank you for 495 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: being with us man.

Maybe some news in the 533 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: world of sports gonna drop this evening. A little bit 534 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: of a teaser there.

But for those of you 537 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: out there that are paying attention to the Joe Biden administration, Buck, 538 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: what is amazing to me about Joe Biden, and I 539 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: don't mean an amazing in a good way, is he's 540 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: constantly coming out and arguing for principles or policies or 541 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: political agendas that are shot down within ten or fifteen 542 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: minutes of him coming out and advocating for them. And 543 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: this happened again. He's in Germany overseas, getting ready to 544 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: go to saw Arabia and bend the knee and beg 545 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: for them to produce more oil and gas. And generally speaking, 546 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: the longstanding American policy has been you don't attack domestic 547 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: politics overseas because it makes America look weaker to be 548 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: feuding with domestic politics related issues when we're on the 549 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: international stage. Biden can barely talk at this point. I 550 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: don't even know if he recognizes what he said and 551 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: how awful it registered for many people. But I want 552 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: to listen to you. I said he was in Germany. 553 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: I apologize Biden's actually in Spain right now, not that 554 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: it matters very much one way or the other where 555 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: he is. But this was today in Madrid, Spain at 556 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: the NATO's summit. Here was what Joe Biden had to 557 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: say about the Supreme Court at his press conference. The 558 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: one thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior 559 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court of the United States, an overruling 560 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: only Roe v. Wade, but essentially challenging the right to privacy. 561 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: We've been a leader in the world in terms of 562 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: personal rights and privacy rights, and it is a mistake, 563 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: in my view, for the Supreme Court to do what 564 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: it did. Biden then built on this and argued that 565 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: he is now in favor of removing the filibuster for 566 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: purposes of enshrining Roe v. Wade as a federal right 567 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: through congressional action. In order to do that, however, his 568 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: own party would have to support him. And almost immediately 569 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: upon Biden saying, Hey, we need to change the filibuster 570 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: rules to enshrine Roevie Wade as federal law, Kirsten Cinema 571 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: from Arizona and Joe Mansion from West Virginia, two Democrats 572 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: that have consistently opposed much of Biden's agenda, said they 573 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: still will not change any of their positions on the filibuster. 574 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: So enshrining roev Wade as a federal right and eliminating 575 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: the filibuster for purposes of this issue, it appears, is 576 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: not going to happen. Your thoughts, buck, as you saw 577 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: all of this play out this morning, and just blow 578 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: up one more time in front of Joe Biden. Isn't 579 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: it amazing that mister unity, Joe Biden promised to bring 580 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: the country together, is talking about a destabilizing Supreme Court 581 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: decision and by doing so, destabilizing things. I mean, this 582 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: is a perfect bidenism. He acts like he is a 583 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: savior or defender of the system, when in fact he's 584 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: the one kicking at the load bearing walls, taking a 585 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: few swings with a sledgehammer because his polls are in 586 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: the dumpster and his party is failing and we can 587 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: all see it and we all know it. So what 588 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: does he do? The usual rights takes shots at the 589 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: other side, the same talking points you've heard before. Also, 590 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: this right to privacy. I guarantee Joe Biden didn't actually 591 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: read the Supreme Court decision. Last guarante, there's no he's 592 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: a he's a quote lawyer, right, he went to law 593 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: school fifty years ago. This guy is not somebody who's 594 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: who's up on the latest Church's prudent. I think finished 595 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: the last in his class at Syracuse. Yes, I'm a 596 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: distinguished I think it might have been second or third 597 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: to last to blow ranking in Syracuse, not blowing anyone 598 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: away with his collection skills, even in his in his twenties. Nonetheless, 599 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: and that was Syracuse law school in like what the seventies, 600 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: early the seven sixties, he's old man, I don't know, 601 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: I kid, yeah, I would think it would have to 602 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: be the six sixties. So poire being Joe Biden's got nothing. 603 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: But I also think this the right to privacy? What 604 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 1: this was the concoction, This was the fabrication that all 605 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: the row was built on and was just completely dismantled. 606 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: What is that right exactly? Did you have a right 607 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: to privacy to abuse your spouse because it's behind closed 608 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: doors in your home? No, you do not. Do you 609 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: have a right to abuse your children because a right 610 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: to privacy Joe Biden talking point and the whole regime 611 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: that Biden has around him, that that's collapsing along with 612 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: the talking points just shows you, Clay, how desperate they are. 613 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: I mean, I said to this before Gavin Newsom is 614 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 1: now they're just they're just money machine goes send everybody checks, 615 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: you know, just start sending people checks in California so 616 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 1: they don't turn on your party that in a period 617 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: of high inflation. Mane that's the craziest thing that California's 618 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: solution to inflation, I'm not We're not even making this 619 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: up is to send twenty three million I believe it 620 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 1: is households a thousand and fifty dollars. So the way 621 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: for the government to solve inflation, I can guarantee you 622 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: is not by the government giving people more money. Buck. 623 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: There are two things that jump out to me about this, 624 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: aside from the back the fact that Joe Biden's own 625 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: party won't support his policy. Number one, this to me 626 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: means that the abortion issue is not registering with voters, okay. 627 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is if it were 628 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: registering with voters on a high intensity level, they wouldn't 629 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: be desperate to try to enshrine it in law right 630 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: now while they have control of Congress. They would use 631 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: it primarily as an issue for why people need to 632 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: support him. So I don't think that the abortion issue 633 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: is really registering like Democrats hoped it would. Second part, 634 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: if this were to occur, as we have seen with 635 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices sooner or later, what happens is abortion 636 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: would become tax policy. And let me explain what I 637 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: mean by that. When a Democrat or a Republican president 638 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: comes into office and typically has strong majorities in the 639 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 1: House or Senate, what do they do. They change tax policy, 640 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: the tax rates on capital gains because of different views 641 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: of how the government should grow the economy. By the way, 642 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: Republicans are right, all of the data reflects that when 643 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: you stifle growth with high tax rates, you end up 644 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: choking out so much growth. But you're constantly shifting the 645 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: tax policy based on whose in positions of power at 646 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: that time. If this were to happen, Buck, I think 647 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: what would happen is abortion would constantly be shifting back 648 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: and forth on a federal level, because when Republicans got 649 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 1: control of the House incident and the White House, they 650 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: would pass laws that gave states the right or they 651 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: would try to put past their own federal legislation, and 652 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: so you'd constantly be swinging from one direction to another. 653 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: And it would basically turn abortion into the tax policy, 654 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: where you're one eight years policy it's one way, and 655 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: then eight years later it's changing the other direct. And 656 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: of course this would speaking of destabilize, as Biden said, 657 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,919 Speaker 1: this would really you stabilize any faith that people have. 658 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: It would be a foundational rule of law, right because 659 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: to your point, Clay, okay, the top tax rate federally 660 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: thirty nine percent, thirty five percent, all right, the only 661 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: certainties in life, death and taxes. Right, we know we're 662 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna be paying taxes. If you are thirty five percent guy, 663 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: fortunate enough to be last year. Now you're thirty nine 664 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: percent guy. You know, no, it's annoying. But the shift 665 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: that you're talking about now that would happen in law 666 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 1: would be, well, what someone what let's say, a medical 667 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: doctor who provided an abortion for somebody did a year ago, 668 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: is now considered murder. But they won't they can't after 669 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: the fact, you know, they can't write in that prosecution 670 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: after the constantly. And so you're gonna be now having 671 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: people who say the law now says what I did 672 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: a year ago is murder and I can go to prison. 673 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we have Governor Noman. Later, I 674 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: think it's South Dakota. You could face up to a 675 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: life sentence for an abortion, I believe, or maybe it's 676 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: twenty five years that well, we'll ask about this. But 677 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: in some of the states, these trigger laws are very serious. 678 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: So then you have the federal law could come in 679 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: and say, oh no, it's fine, everyone has a right 680 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: to this for all three trimesters, and then Republicans take 681 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: charge and it's oh no, actually you can go to 682 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: prison for decades for this. Cycles of that will destroy 683 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: all faith in the rule of law. And everybody should 684 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: should understand that. We know that states have different laws 685 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: and they stay with those laws. The federal government coming 686 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: in to make all fifty states keep shifting, it's just untenable. 687 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: That's why this idea they had of setting up abortion 688 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: clinics in national parks was what do they think happens 689 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: when Republicans take control of the Congress. It's also emblematic 690 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 1: I think of the craziness that we're in. If you 691 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: allow an exemption to the filibuster for purposes of abortion, 692 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: Republicans are certainly going to first of all respond in 693 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: kind on abortion. Eventually, once you create these exceptions, the 694 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: filibuster's gone. Yeah, but Democrats are such a bunch of 695 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: whiny little prats on this. They wanted to use the 696 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: exception of the filibuster for HR one for voting rights 697 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: so important they're constantly trying to craft these Everything they 698 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: want is so important that it's the one time break 699 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: in the filibuster. It's seriously, it's like we're negotiating with 700 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: little children who are being terrorists. It also is just 701 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: going to create a huge mess. So the end result, 702 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: and Biden had to know this buck, is that Cinema 703 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: and Mansion aren't changing their positions and barring some totally 704 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 1: unexpected Republican support for this filibuster change, then what Biden 705 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: said in Spain earlier today was essentially wiped out as 706 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: a policy imperative within twenty minutes almost of him saying it, 707 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: meaning that he's really just saying this to try to 708 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: placate the left wing in his party, knowing that the 709 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: in my opinion, the practical reality of it occurring is 710 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 1: virtually zero. I think it's also bluster from Biden, right, 711 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just what else is he going 712 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,879 Speaker 1: to say? What has he delivered? For the left wing 713 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: base other than a lot of inflation. People don't remember 714 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: the checks they were getting six months ago, a year ago, right, 715 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: that whole? Any goodwill from the inflation machinery that he 716 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: put in place, that's gone. Yeah, that's why. Now what 717 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: is he offering. He's offering jan six, which we'll talk 718 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: more about the lads with that later on. And you 719 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: know what this, I think it's such a well said argument, 720 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: and this is one that I believe Republicans need to 721 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: be hammering more. Buck Biden failed with a House and 722 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: Senate backing him. And not only did he fail in 723 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: terms of creating the worst economy and maybe the worst 724 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: overall environment in our country and most of our lives. 725 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: The only reason it's not worse is because members of 726 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: his own party refused to allow him to do what 727 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: he wanted to do. Democrats were a disaster, but they 728 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 1: were only protected from being what's even worse than a disaster? 729 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: A cataclysm? I don't I don't even know. It's a 730 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: good question. What is a worse word than a disaster? 731 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: The only reason it's not an apocalyptic is because they 732 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 1: actually opposed what he was trying to do. Buck and 733 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: I don't think Republicans are making that argument strongly enough, 734 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: because Biden's gonna say, oh, Albert, I didn't get my 735 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 1: own what I wanted to get done. No, if you had, 736 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: everything would be worse. Everything would be so much worse 737 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: if he had actually gotten what he wanted, and all 738 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: of the things that he could do and that the 739 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: federal government could do to improve situation, to improve a 740 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,439 Speaker 1: situation in a material way, to bring down the cost 741 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 1: of energy, to increase or to bring down inflation, to 742 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: increase economic growth, to secure the border, to bring down 743 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: violent crime across the country. All the things that would 744 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: work to do that Democrats are ideologically opposed to. They 745 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: don't like the solutions, so we keep suffering as a result. 746 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: He told us all buck we were going to have 747 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: a winner of death and tried to make sure that 748 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: eighty four million people had to get the COVID shot, 749 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: and the only thing that stopped that from happening was 750 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. I'm not done with Fauchi Clay. That's 751 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: a good place to stop here, because we'll come back there. 752 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: They're folks, they're trying to rev up the COVID machinery again. 753 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're not done. Oh you're one hundred 754 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: percent right. We'll play some of that for you when 755 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: we come back. In the meantime, I got my family 756 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: together right now, we're down at the beach and we 757 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: are having a phenomenal time.

Thanks for being with us. Oh man, 781 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,959 Speaker 1: it's fantastic to be with you guys. How you doing today. 782 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: We're good and we know you got a new book out, 783 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: not my first rodeo. We'll talk you about that in 784 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: a second. I just wanted to get your response because 785 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 1: I know South Dakota has taken a very strong stand 786 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,840 Speaker 1: as a state on the life issue. I'm sure you 787 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: heard earlier today over in Europe Biden trashing the Supreme 788 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: Court saying it's destabilizing. What do you think about our 789 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: commander in chief saying that about our Supreme Court overseas? 790 00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: And also, what is the state of protect life right 791 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: now in your home state, Governor of South Dakota. Well, 792 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: number one, I would say every single one of his 793 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: policies is destabilizing the United States of America. It's extremely 794 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 1: hypocritical to be going after the Supreme Court, especially overseas, 795 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,720 Speaker 1: when everything he is doing is weakening America. And again 796 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 1: with that statement, So his timing is bad, but so 797 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: is every one of his instincts. And I guess we 798 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: just try to muddle our way through and till we 799 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: can get new leaders in place. And it's not very 800 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,399 Speaker 1: long until we get the chance to do that. So, 801 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to life in South Dakota, 802 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: as far as abortion rights, you know, South Dakota back 803 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five passed a trigger law that said, 804 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,240 Speaker 1: in the event that Roe is overturned, it would become 805 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: illegal to perform an abortion in our state except to 806 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: save the life of a mother. So that is the 807 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: law of the land today. And I'm grateful that South 808 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: Dakota recognizes that every life is precious. I think that 809 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, by fixing this wrong decision that was 810 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: made almost fifty years ago, has finally done what we've 811 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 1: always recognized was a true place. This discussion should happen. 812 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,800 Speaker 1: It should happen at the state level, It should happen 813 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: by people that are elected close to the public, near home. 814 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: So it's the right thing to do, and I'm glad. 815 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 1: I'm proud of where South Dakota is. I'm sure they'll 816 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,879 Speaker 1: continue to have discussions here, but today I'm grateful for 817 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 1: our stand for life. Governor Noham. We had Governor Abbott 818 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 1: on earlier this week and he was talking about the 819 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 1: disastrous policies as it pertains to energy that are being 820 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: embraced by the Biden White House as the governor of 821 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: South Dakota. For people who may not see it on 822 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 1: the statewide level, what has Joe Biden meant to energy 823 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: production in South Dakota? How much has he hurt? Well, 824 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: we don't produce energy really very much in South Dakota. 825 00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 1: We have a few rigs, but North Dakota most of 826 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: the oil. We got Mount Rushmore, which we're happy for. 827 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: We love we love Mount Rushmore and what it means 828 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,439 Speaker 1: to the country. But you know, we are a high 829 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 1: demand energy state, so we have you know, it's a 830 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,760 Speaker 1: very cold in the winter, it's hot in the summer, 831 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: and it's a long ways to drive anywhere, so we have, um, 832 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, incredible demands. And when he affects this kind 833 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: of energy policy and drives up the cost the way 834 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: that he has it affects every every single family. It's 835 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: not an option for salt Dakotans to not drive to 836 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: not buy gas. Oftentimes their work is thirty to forty 837 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: miles away, their school or activities for their kids, or 838 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: twenty to thirty miles. We just have to go anywhere 839 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: and get in a car to go get groceries, go 840 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: to the doctor. So it impacts rural states more and 841 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: our budgets than it does these urban areas that have 842 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: other options. First of all, apologies to the Dakotas where 843 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 1: we're big and I now am never going to get 844 00:48:55,640 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: elected anywhere. I know my email, I'm gonna be destroyed 845 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: now for mixing up the Dakotas. But Governor, your book, 846 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: I saw you interviewed on Fox News talking about the 847 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: impact of your father's unexpected death and what it meant 848 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 1: for you, and I thought it was such a compelling 849 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: story that you were telling for people out there who 850 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,719 Speaker 1: may not know what happened in your life, and the 851 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: story that you are telling take us into what you 852 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 1: wanted to bring to the nation with this book and 853 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: what that was like for you as a young person 854 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: to deal with well, you know, frankly, I think a 855 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,799 Speaker 1: lot of people the first time they heard my name 856 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: was during COVID when Elizabeth Warren and Rachel Maddow and 857 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: the left were on national TV night after night kicking 858 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 1: me in the head for all the decisions I was 859 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: making in South Dakota. They called me dangerous and reckless. 860 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: And I'm sure people from across the country thought, who 861 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: is this lady in South Dakota and you know the boy? 862 00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 1: You know, she just showed up on the scene. But 863 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: that's not true. This isn't my first rodeo. I've had 864 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: a long life of running businesses and challenges and serving 865 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: in the legislature in Congress, and it made me who 866 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 1: I am. So this book is about politics, but it's 867 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: also about my life lived so far. So losing my 868 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: dad changed everything. You know. My goal growing up was 869 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: to be a farmer and rancher. He was my best friend. 870 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 1: He was a cowboy, he was tough, and my favorite 871 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,720 Speaker 1: thing in the whole world to do is chase cows 872 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: or go sit in a tree stands. So what I 873 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,240 Speaker 1: do today is very, very different than what I had planned. 874 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 1: Anybody in my family had planned, but when he died 875 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: at the age of forty nine, we got hit with 876 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,360 Speaker 1: death taxes and I came quit college, took over the 877 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 1: operation as a general manager, and it made me angry. 878 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 1: I could not believe we had a tragedy. All of 879 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: a sudden, I owed the federal government hundreds and hundreds 880 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars that I couldn't pay. I had 881 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,479 Speaker 1: to take out loans. I couldn't even get a bank 882 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: to finance it. I had to get a cup well 883 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,359 Speaker 1: wealthy farmers to loan me some money. But it took 884 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: me ten years to pay off that debt. And I 885 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,800 Speaker 1: just started showing up at meetings passionate about tax reform. 886 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 1: So that's how I got involved in government and politics. 887 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: My dad had always said, you don't complain about things, Christie, 888 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,320 Speaker 1: you fix them, and more than anything, I wanted to 889 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,560 Speaker 1: make him proud, even though he wasn't going to be 890 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: around to see how I turned out. We're speaking to 891 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,359 Speaker 1: South Dakota Governor Christy Noom. She has a new book out, 892 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,719 Speaker 1: not my first Rodeo, Lessons from the Heartland, just out 893 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,760 Speaker 1: this week, Well more for your Governor. We're heading into 894 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: what looks like a hopefully a pretty serious red wave. 895 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 1: How are you seeing it from your perspective? And what 896 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: is your at a point at a point right now 897 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: where people in your home state, all across the country 898 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,240 Speaker 1: are having a tough time paying not just for gas, 899 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 1: for food, paying the mortgage, paying the rent. What's your 900 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,399 Speaker 1: case for optimism right now? I mean, why should people 901 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: stay engaged when they might be feeling a little disaffected? Well, 902 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: I think the first time we have so many people 903 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: that are paying attention. You know, we we have folks 904 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: that never cared much about government and politics that, because 905 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: of what happened during the pandemic, now are sitting up 906 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 1: and saying, you know, what is the role of government 907 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: in our lives? What do we want the government telling 908 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: us to do and not do? And recognizing that what 909 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,319 Speaker 1: Biden is doing is destroying America as we know it. 910 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 1: So I think that is a reason to be optimistic. 911 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: You know, there's nothing harder than getting people motivated that 912 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,439 Speaker 1: don't care. Now people care, they care passionately, and they're 913 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: going to be engaged now. Our job is elected leaders 914 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: and as public officials, is to make sure that we're 915 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 1: sharing not just what we think, but why we believe 916 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: what we believe, you know, and the history of this country, 917 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,399 Speaker 1: the constitution, the role of government in our lives as 918 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 1: our founders intended it. So you know, it's not a 919 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 1: time to get lazy and talk in sound bites and 920 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 1: just blow people up for an instant headline. We have 921 00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 1: to start really recognizing that folks are hungry for information 922 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: and they want a way of life that our parents 923 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: had growing up, and that they're ready to do some 924 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,439 Speaker 1: work to make sure we get it. You mentioned Mount 925 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,799 Speaker 1: Rushmore a little bit earlier, Governor Noham, and so I'll 926 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 1: at least get that right for the Dakota crew. But 927 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: I thought one of the most powerful speeches Donald Trump 928 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,400 Speaker 1: gave during his presidency was there in front of Mount Rushmore, 929 00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 1: with you defending American exceptionalism in American history. You obviously 930 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,320 Speaker 1: have had a much bigger profile in the years since, 931 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,399 Speaker 1: certainly rolling through COVID and beyond. Do you hope that 932 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump runs for reelection in twenty twenty four a 933 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: second term and are you at all interested in the 934 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: national political landscape, potentially as a vice president for him 935 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:51,319 Speaker 1: or potentially running for president yourself. Well, listen, I talked 936 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,400 Speaker 1: to the president quite often. He's going to run. I 937 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 1: don't know if anybody to can beat him in a primary, 938 00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,280 Speaker 1: no matter what they say. He's got an extreme group 939 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 1: of loyal people, a large group of people that support 940 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: him across this country, which is remarkable, and I just 941 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: don't think anybody else can beat him in a Republican primary. 942 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,399 Speaker 1: Maybe a general election will be challenging, but I think 943 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 1: if he puts the team together that shows people that 944 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:20,800 Speaker 1: he wants to govern and fix what's broken with this 945 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: country and fix it as soon as possible, I think 946 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: that'll be very, very powerful. Who is announced, who his 947 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: attorney general is going to be, his Secretary of Stage, 948 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 1: his vice president. All of that is important because this 949 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 1: man knows good people, he knows tough people. He also 950 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: understands tackling a problem and getting it fixed. So if 951 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: he runs, I'll certainly support him. South Dakota Governor Christy 952 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: Noum the book, Folks, not my first rodeo. Lessons from 953 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,839 Speaker 1: the heart Land out this week. Governor, thanks for coming on. 954 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: Good luck to you. No you guys too, have a 955 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: wonderful day. Appreciate it. That is Governor Christy Noam of 956 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 1: South Dakota, one of my favorite states in the Union. 957 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,680 Speaker 1: I thought you were going down me because it's so easy. Man. 958 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: There's so much oil in North Dakota. Yeah, so it 959 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: can you know, you get I will tell you know what. 960 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 1: I shouldn't even admit this, but occasionally occasionally I get, 961 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, I get a city in the Carolinas a 962 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: little bit much, and I love the Carola. I love 963 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,360 Speaker 1: the Carolinas, so I can nift on the Dakotas before 964 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: I did it in it's a very Yankee thing. I'm 965 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: getting groans all over Charlotte and Charleston right now. But anyway, 966 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 1: I should know better on the Dakotas we had. I 967 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 1: screwed it up in sports talk radio once, and the 968 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,800 Speaker 1: Dakota people are very nice, but you get North and 969 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 1: South Dakota mixed up and they're ready to go to war. 970 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you know, I don't really blame them. I 971 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 1: got spanked by in an email by a just to 972 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: be clear, by a Nevada, a Nevada listener who explained 973 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 1: to me that everyone in New York area needs to 974 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 1: stop saying Nevada. And it was like a long and 975 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 1: I know, you know, I never forgot. I think I 976 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,319 Speaker 1: still screw that one up. I'm not as good on 977 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: pronunciations in general. I just I'm awful at it. But 978 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: you know who's good at it, Hillsdale College. They will 979 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,799 Speaker 1: take care of you and help you to learn more. 980 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: Maybe if I'd gone to Hillsdale College, I'd be better 981 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 1: at knowing the difference between North and South Dakota and 982 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,319 Speaker 1: not screwing up who has all the oil and gas 983 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: and who does not. But millions of Americans have watched 984 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:29,839 Speaker 1: these Hillsdale history lessons. They're fabulous, and the newest one 985 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,920 Speaker 1: right now is focused on C. S. Lewis. He is 986 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 1: a famed author who did such a great job telling 987 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,480 Speaker 1: stories involving good and evil prayer in the Bible, also 988 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 1: heaven and Hell. C. S.
