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 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. A third hour of Clay and Back 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: kicks off right now. Everybody, Thanks for hanging with us, 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining if you're just tuning in now. Um, 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, I just had my own little New York 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: experience as a thirty plus year resident of the city. Previously, 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: I went back, I saw a family of the holiday 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: and I had an unpleasant experience on the subway. First 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: time on the subway. Super unpleasant experience, and that's putting 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: it mildly. And I thought this was interesting, you know, 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: on the Great Sean Hannity's show, uh well radio obviously 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: and TV. This was on TV. He had his his 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: audience of New Yorkers, New York area folks, um to 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: go to check out to that show. They had to 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: do some great live stuff and when he was when 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: when they were posed with the question do they feel 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: safe as New Yorkers? Here's how they responded. Play sixteen. 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: As the chairman, Jim Jordan conducts a full investigation of 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: that abuse of power. So he's also taking his committee 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: on the road. One week from today, they will be 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: in Lower Manhattan and New York City to hear from 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: victims of all the actual criminal acts, from all the 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: criminals that da Alvin Bragg has set free while he 24 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: pursued his campaign promise to go after one man, Donald Trump. 25 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: Bragg says the hearing is a political stunt and insists 26 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: that New York City is actually very safe. All right, 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: joining us, now, you're all from New York. Is New 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: York not safe? Oh okay, cheer. I must have read 29 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: the Daily News or the New York Slimes so you 30 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: hear they're from a bunch of New Yorkers. I just 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: thought that was kind of obvious. You know, they can't 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: even hold it back, Clay, And here's the situation in 33 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: New York is similar, not quite at the scale, but 34 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: it's deteriorating the same way it is in San Francisco. 35 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: We mentioned this Whole Foods that has shut down. This 36 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: is the this is the flagship. It's a major whole 37 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: food store. I mean a store like this is doing 38 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars of sales US and it's 39 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: a major operation to set it up. They shut it 40 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: down because there were so many obviously thefts, but vagrants 41 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: just doing just you know, disgusting and unspeakable things in 42 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: the bathrooms, stealing all the shopping carts, just take it, 43 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: take off, because you know those are usually kept I 44 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: guess outside where it's harder to keep an eye on 45 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: the thefts that are occurring. So they stole everything they 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: ruin the place, they shut it down. One thing that 47 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: we often and Mayor London breed is telling everybody, oh, no, 48 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: you know where, it's not that bad. Where that's Democrats 49 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: have been reduced to in a lot of major cities. 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: It's not that bad. You know, I said this to you. 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: There's some I think it's a lie. I think she's 52 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: a lib. But there's a person out in San frand 53 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to pull up her information. Michelle Tandler. Okay, 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: not a conservative from what I can tell. And she's 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: gone viral in the last day or so with this, 56 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: he says. Imagine this scenario. It's twelve thirty am and 57 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: your dog woke you up because it needs to go 58 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: to the bathroom. This is out in San Francisco. You 59 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: walk outside and sleepily shuffled down the street and your slippers. 60 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: You spot a man half naked with a comforter or 61 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: draped over him, stumbling out of the park toward you. 62 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: What do you do? This was me last night, and 63 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: this is me most nights at night, mere weird men 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: who are clearly not mentally sound or wandering around my 65 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: apartment building. The other night, at four am, we came 66 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: across someone violently hacking away at grass on my block 67 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: with a shovel. He was stealing the grass. He saw 68 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: me and scurried away with his bags of grass. Many 69 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: days I park and walk past people dancing on the 70 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: hill next to my home, men dancing in their thirties, 71 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: erratically near you. What do you do in these moments? 72 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: The first thing I think is meth Then I start 73 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: planning my safety. Should we turn and walk away? Should 74 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: we pretend like nothing is happening? Constantly living in fear 75 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: takes a toll. It's small and consistent, and she said, 76 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: and then she gets into how the ultra wealthy in 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: San Francisco still feel like they can pretend this isn't happen. 78 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: In Clay, the constant threat of lunatics around you in 79 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: the streets of these democrats cities is a crime that 80 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: doesn't get reported in the statistics, but it affects the perception, 81 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: the stability, and just the quality of life of all 82 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: of the residents, and Democrats have no answers for this 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: because it would require cleaning things up. Well, we talked 84 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: about last week the forty I think it was forty 85 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: three year old cash app founder, yes, who got stabbed 86 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: to death and murdered in San Francisco. It is considered 87 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: to be a good neighborhood. And the reason why I 88 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: bring that up is Whole Foods. Who is the Whole 89 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: Foods audience? By and large, it's upper income white people. Right. 90 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: If you were saying, who is the prototypical shopper at 91 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: a Whole Foods, you would say, I would guess elite, wealthy, 92 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: college educated white person. That seems to me. If you 93 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: were just again waiving a magic wand and you were saying, 94 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: who is our like pop in front of me, what's 95 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: the stereotypical whole food shopper? I would say it's a 96 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: forty six year old white woman who has at least 97 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: one degree. And the fact that they cannot stay open 98 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: in San Francisco is a big deal. I saw this 99 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: staff the other day. San Francisco has the highest office 100 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: vacancy rate in the entire nation thirty three percent. Now, 101 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: let me put that into perspective for you. That is 102 00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: triple Detroit, triple the offense vacancye rate of San Francisco 103 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: to Detroit and Buck. One of the things they talk 104 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: about a lot in San Francisco in particular because of 105 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: the Silicon Valley connection, is sort of the virtuous circle. 106 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: From a business perspective. What do I mean by the 107 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: virtuous circle? The flywheel? When you use Google, you make 108 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Google more efficient because Google can use whatever searches you 109 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: have made to help make the product better. And when 110 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: your product gets so big, everything starts spinning in the 111 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: right direction and that product becomes even more efficient. The 112 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: exact opposite of that is happening in San Francisco right now. 113 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the big tech executives 114 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: will understand this if you kind of put it in 115 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: that perspective, because what are you losing in San Francisco, 116 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: I think is maybe the perfect embodiment of this Buck. 117 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: Because san Francisco thirty three percent office vacancy, you are 118 00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: losing overwhelming numbers of highly educated, wealthy, disposable income people 119 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: who can choose to leave, they're relocating, they're working remotely. 120 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: One of the impacts of COVID. What do you lose 121 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: when there's a thirty three percent office vacancy. You'll lose 122 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: all the businesses supporting all of those people. When those 123 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: places go vacant. What happens vagrancy. When the vagrancy happens, 124 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: what occurs more and more dangerous people on the streets, 125 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: and all of that super positive feedback wheel, the flywheel, 126 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: as I'm speaking about it, using Google as a business example, 127 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: is now working in reverse for the city of San Francisco. 128 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: And that is occurring not only in San Francisco, Seattle, 129 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: New York City, Chicago, the biggest cities in America which 130 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: had been benefiting from elite, highly educated residents, they're gone. 131 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: I saw a great article pointing out in Chicago, hundreds 132 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: of thousands of people have left buck That actually makes 133 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: their politics more disastrous because who are the people that 134 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: are leaving Chicago. How does that mayor, that far left 135 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: wing mayor get elected. Because the cities are getting bluer, 136 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: and that is going to lead them down the primrose 137 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: path of more destruction. And all of these places are 138 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: basically reverse flywheels. Everything that made San Francisco special it's 139 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: now spinning in the opposite direction, and it's going to 140 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: continue to get worse rapidly. I think people forget that 141 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Detroit was I think the greatest concentration of millionaires and 142 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: the highest or certainly in the top five highest per 143 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: capita earning cities in America in the nineteen fifties, and 144 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: it was it was a boomtown. And you go and 145 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: you see these old these photos of these old buildings. 146 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they're incredible architectural marvels. Really, you're right, that 147 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: are now just you know, covered in pigeon poop and 148 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: broken glass and the whole thing has just been absolutely destroyed. 149 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: Detroit was ruined as a city. Now. I know you 150 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: could say, oh, it's because the auto industry had moved, 151 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: but there were a lot of really bad decisions that 152 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Detroit made as a city too along the way it does. 153 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: Places don't stay prosperous, safe and wonderful if bad decisions 154 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: are made. They have to be able to adapt, right, 155 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what you've seen happening in Detroit 156 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: could happen to any city, is the point. And I 157 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: think that people they look at someone like a Gavin Newsom, 158 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: he's a he's so slimy and so dishonest. California became 159 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: super wealthy and prosperous as a largely Republican stronghold, and 160 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: now they are just you know, milking that cow into 161 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: extinction with all the taxes and the regulations and everything else. 162 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing there. Detroit's a great example, Buck, 163 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: because my wife is from the Detroit area. I got 164 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: married in Oakland County. It's beautiful, Oakland County has got 165 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: married in Birmingham. I bet we have a lot of 166 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: listeners in the Detroit area. Things got so bad in 167 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: Detroit that they finally just threw their hands up and 168 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: said we got to change the dynamic. And actually downtown 169 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: Detroit is starting to come back now after decades and 170 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: decades of as you said, totally falling apart. It got 171 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: so bad in Detroit that they said we have to 172 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: change things. What's frustrating, I think to a lot of 173 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: our listeners out there, whether you're in Chicago, New York City, 174 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco, Seattle, these big cities, Atlanta, things are awful, 175 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: things are bad, but people aren't willing to acknowledge that 176 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: they're bad and worse than that buck, they're not willing 177 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: to look in the mirror and say they're bad because 178 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: of the choices we made. Kicking police to the curb 179 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: that was a disaster, but making the decision to be 180 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: all in on far left wing politics, that is, in 181 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: destroying the fabric of the city. You can look at 182 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: specific things that have been done in these places that 183 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: are all ideologically aligned with the left and pushed by 184 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: left wing activists and left wing groups and then left 185 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: wing politicians, Democrats, Democrats did these things and yeah, you 186 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: mentioned police. That's obviously a huge San Francisco short five 187 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: hundred police officers. Does anyone think that that has an 188 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: impact on response times and just the general sense of 189 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: whether you can get away with crime on the streets. 190 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: There's a cascading effect here, right prosecutors are they actually 191 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: deciding that people who are a danger to their fellow 192 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: human beings should be taken off the streets or even 193 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: if they're just a danger to the quality of life 194 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: other fellow You know, once you've committed your fiftieth burglary, 195 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: I think you probably need to you know, I think 196 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: once you've committed a few burglaries, you need to spend 197 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: some real time in prison, not a few days in prison, 198 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: not or a few days in jail. You see this 199 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: also though, play with more of the day to day stuff. 200 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: And that's why I read that woman's thread that's gone viral. 201 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: You know, you can't have people camping and living on 202 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: the streets in town squares. You can't have open air 203 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: drug usage. You can't have people urinating and defecating in 204 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: the street with impunity. You can't. I mean, all of 205 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: these things that these cities decided to make legal, decided 206 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: should be okay. You have open air drug markets in 207 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco effectively, same thing in Portland and Seattle too, 208 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: where people are buying and selling hero opioids. And you 209 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: know what the left wing activists say when we bring 210 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: this up. Oh but but they're you know, they're victims 211 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: because if you do anything about this, you know, you're 212 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: essentially part of the oppressive system. They're gonna die. They're 213 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna die of a drugover. They think being kind to 214 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: people is letting them wallow in filth on the streets, 215 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: commit crimes and do drugs until they die. That's not kind, 216 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: that's inhumane. Many people who live in these cities would 217 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: rather than be destroyed than admit they were wrong. Yeah, 218 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: and at some point it's going to get so bad 219 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: that there are going to be a ton of Rudy 220 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: Giuliani's I believe all over this country who come and 221 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: I will fix it. But first people have to acknowledge 222 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: there's a problem, and they're not willing to do it. 223 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: And I'll just say this, you know, in New York 224 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: even uh. And I was working in the NYPD in 225 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and ten, two thousand and eleven um on 226 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: rotation from the federal government. That's why I was only 227 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: there for a year. UM. I used to tell people 228 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: when they would say, oh, New York, you know, it's 229 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: dangerous two thousand and ten, two thousand and eleven, I'd 230 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: be like, guys, new York is super safe. Actually yeah, 231 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: and it's actually pretty well run and it's a pretty 232 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: great place. If you like a city, it's a great city. 233 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: So I'm not somebody who's just been Oh, New York. 234 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: The libs of rule, you know, did an incredible job. 235 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: They fixed it in New York City. Yeah, that's the point. 236 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: They fixed it, and we were honest about that, and 237 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: we said this. I was telling her, I was an 238 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: evangelist for New York City and I want to be again. 239 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: They got to fix it again, and they got to 240 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: fix it all over the country. But first problem got 241 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that you're wrong, and they won't do it yet. 242 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: This month is the beginning of graduation season on college campuses, 243 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: certainly the beginning of what's often referred to as senior ITAs. 244 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: Lots of great learning goes on leading up to the point, 245 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: including education provided at one of our favorite colleges, Hillsdale College. There, 246 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: young people are getting the best classical liberal arts education 247 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: anywhere in America.

You can't graduate 250 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: from Hillsdale without taking at least one full semester course 251 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: on the Constitution.

You can always email the show. 265 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: Ali is reading through these cam rits in and says, 266 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: I work for a tech company. A lot of my 267 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: coworkers live in San Francisco. When you bring up crime 268 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: to them, they say, oh, it's like this everywhere. It's normal. 269 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: It's not too bad. It's like they're brainwashed to accept 270 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: this behavior. It's literally insane. That's why I say, buck 271 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: until they look in the mirror, right, because we've created 272 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: this world where no one is responsible for their own actions. 273 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: That's one of my biggest issues in general with the world. 274 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Nobody just stands in front of the mirror and says, hey, 275 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: I'm an individual I'm responsible for me. And Democrats can't 276 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: look in the mirror and say, because they're all filled 277 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: with Trump derangement syndrome, when they're all convinced that they're 278 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: on the right side of history, they can't look in 279 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: the mirror and say, nobody else screwed up these cities 280 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: but us. And until they do that, they're not going 281 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: to be willing to make any changes. And this is 282 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: why I think the fact that we don't have any 283 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: reckoning on all the Democrat failures from COVID are so 284 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: significant because they are convinced that they don't have to 285 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: be right on anything, they just have to be opposed 286 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: to those awful right wingers. And so as a result, 287 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: there's no cognitive understanding of them creating their own problems. No, 288 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: And in fact, now part of the Democrat mantra, the 289 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: Democrat mindset on these issues is that even if you 290 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: are victimized, you are a victimizer. If you want to 291 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: do anything about it, Yeah, if you want there to 292 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: be any consequences for the person. And you saw this, 293 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean there was an op ed. I think there 294 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: are a few of them, really, but in the San 295 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: Francisco Chronicle during the pandemic, or at the you know, 296 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: the second part of the pandemic, I should say, maybe 297 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one twenty two saying if you call the 298 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: police on somebody who's breaking into your home, you're engaged 299 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: in racist violence against people of color. Yeah, first all, 300 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: making the assumption, which is not true in San Francisco 301 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: or anywhere else for that matter, that like, oh, we 302 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: should just assume it's a person of color who is 303 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: breaking the home. But the op ed was saying, it 304 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: is a violence against a person of color if you 305 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: call the police, because of the probability and the chance 306 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: of the police arriving and arresting that person. So just 307 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: let them steal from you. Just let them go into 308 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: your garage and take stuff. I think there were Reddit 309 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: threads on this. I mean, this became a thing in 310 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: San Francisco for a while, and that's when people started 311 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: to be like, can't I can't do this anymore, Like 312 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: I's actually gone too far. But that's the point. If 313 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: you if you someone is committing a crime against you, 314 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: you call the cops, you're a bad person. That is 315 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: peak leftism. That is like the full scope of leftism 316 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: on display.

Welcome back to Clayn Buck which talk to 338 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: you yesterday about the possibility of a pardon for Daniel Perry. 339 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: He reminded you of this incident back during the BLM 340 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: riots of twenty twenty where an assailant was part of 341 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: a mob. He was armed with an AK forty seven, 342 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,959 Speaker 1: and he was part of a mob that gathered around 343 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: a vehicle. He had given interviews the individual who was 344 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: carrying the AK forty seven part of the BLM group. 345 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: He had effectively said on video earlier in the day, 346 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: no one's gonna do anything. I can basically wave my 347 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: gun on their faces because unless they're with BLM, there cowards. 348 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: Effectively was was his take on the situation. And you 349 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: had Daniel Perry a member of the military, and also 350 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: that he was driving an uber at the time and 351 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: he was armed, and he when surrounded with people banging 352 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: on his vehicle and an individual who was trying to 353 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: look like he's in tactual gear ready for action, waived 354 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: an AK forty seven in his face and pointed it 355 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: at him, and Perry drew down shot that individual. Kyle 356 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: Rittenhouse was on Tucker's show last night, and as we 357 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: all remember, Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself. It was as clear 358 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: as self defense can be, and there was video of it, 359 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: thank god, because otherwise the Democrat lunatics would have sent 360 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: him to prison for the rest of his life. Kyle 361 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: was out on TV and he's pointing out to everybody 362 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: that they're just completely lying to you about what happened 363 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: here in this incident with Daniel Perry and the BLM 364 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: protester Play clip six. How do you think Daniel Perry 365 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: feels tonight sitting in jail. I can only imagine he's 366 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: probably sitting there wondering what happened. He defended himself. He 367 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: knows what he did was right. You have a man 368 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: with an AK forty seven and over one hundred and 369 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: twenty rounds of AMMO on his person, dressed just for war, 370 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: as some people might say, with the rifles, strapped the 371 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: AK forty seven, raising it towards Daniel Perry, who was 372 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: in flip flops and beach shorts, carrying a revolver, and 373 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: nobody wants to talk about that. They don't want to 374 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: talk about how he was swarmed, how his car was 375 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: swarmed with a bunch of rioters trying to attack him. Yeah, 376 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: I also don't want to talk about I saw this 377 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: last night that Kyle said, and to be honest, I 378 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: didn't even see this, uh in the in the ride 379 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: ups and the story about this, that one of the 380 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: BLM riders actually fired after you know, Uh, this is 381 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: what This is what Kyle said last night of the show, 382 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: that after Perry shot the individual with the AK forty seven, 383 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: another BLM rider fired off a few rounds at Perry 384 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: in the car as it was it was driving away, 385 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: I assume. And there were no charges against that person. 386 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: Oh really, no, no charges were just firing at somebody 387 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: in that circumstance and just siding that you know you're 388 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: going to try to I guess, you know, get even 389 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: or something like that. Clay, the fix is in with 390 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: these district attorneys in these places who are backed by 391 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 1: George Soros money and the political left. They want to 392 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: make self defense. This goes to my earlier point about 393 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: how if you don't want to be a victim, you 394 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: are a victimizer. They want to make self defense for 395 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: people illegal. I would also, we're number one in Austin, 396 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: so we appreciate all of you out there listening to us, right, now, 397 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: San Francisco should be an incredibly scary potential future for 398 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: the city of Austin, because there are a lot and 399 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: I say this as a Nashvillian, because there's a lot 400 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: of people from California, from Chicago, from New York City 401 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: who are fed up with the way that those cities 402 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: are being run, that have come to places like Austin, Nashville, 403 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: all certainly over the state of Florida. But when you 404 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: start they got a Soros prosecutor in Austin, when you 405 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: start allowing your city to be so lenient on crime 406 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: that you're not prosecuting actual felonies and when, and this 407 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: is why I think this story is particularly pertinent, not 408 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: only in San Francisco, but also with what you're seeing 409 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: in New York City. When you are constantly dropping felonies 410 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: to misdemeanors and then you decide to elevate non crimes 411 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: like we saw in New York City with Alvin Bragg 412 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: two felonies, you're not in any way an impartial purveyor 413 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: of justice in a remotely honest perspective. And what happened 414 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: in Austin, what is happening in Austin, even in the 415 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: Great State of Texas. Thankfully, they've got Greg Abbott and 416 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: they've got a couple of senators who are Republicans, and 417 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: so I hope they have enough of a backbone to 418 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: be able to stand up to the craziness in Austin. 419 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: But they're defunding police in Austin. Buck they are not 420 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: prosecuting criminal offenses in Austin. They are then deciding when 421 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: they have politically opportune moments to go after targets that 422 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: they believe of a political nature going to help them. 423 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: And in that virtuous flywheel that I was talking about 424 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: with Google and all the big tech guys will understand 425 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: that you're starting to see that start to spend in 426 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: the opposite direction in many of these cities and Austin. 427 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: If you're in Austin or you're in the surrounding communities 428 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: around Austin, you're listening to me right now. You're nodding 429 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 1: along and you're saying, we're making fun of San Francisco. 430 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: We love Austin. You may have been living there for generations. 431 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: Be careful because they'll do it to you too. It 432 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: also goes to how it makes a difference who's who's 433 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: in control of the governor's mansion and who's running the 434 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: state legislature where you live. You can be in a 435 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: very blue city, but at least in Texas, you have 436 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 1: that overwatch, if you will, of solid Republican control at 437 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: the top. Because on issues of crime. Just to be 438 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: very clear, the latest data that I saw this morning, 439 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: and hat tip our our friend political strategist Ryan Grdusky. 440 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: He's actually a political strategist like works with cast I 441 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: feel like some people go on to I'm a you know, 442 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: you know my my my great uncle Bob or my 443 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: my my second cousin Phil thinks they're a political strategist 444 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving, but you know, an actual politically he does 445 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: it for a living. Um, but he he shared. Grudusky 446 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: shared the latest polling on this and the issue of 447 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: crime is R plus twelve. So this is that's the highest, 448 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: it's I bet that's the highest it's been since maybe 449 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: the nineties. I mean it's maybe, yeah, it's a good, 450 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: good question. I'm sure it is that it's certainly the 451 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: highest it's been in the last decade. I mean, Republicans 452 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: all the issue, yeah, because and it has it has 453 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, economic impact too, and when you're looking at 454 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: what's happening with the real estate markets and cities. When 455 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: you look at at the vacancies of of you brought 456 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: up commercial real estate, everything starts to fall apart. The 457 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: single most fundamental obligation of the state, both in the 458 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: sort of big s and little less sense right, is 459 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: to provide for safety and secure purity of the people, 460 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: their physical safety and property security in cities. And Democrats 461 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: have embraced this this idea largely. I will note though, 462 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: that they're going to trot out, well, he can't trot 463 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: They're going to carry or you know, shuffle him out, 464 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: shuff shuffle out, thank you, shuffle out. You know, talking 465 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: about Joe Biden to go yeah, you know he's safe. 466 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: Streets safe here, what cops keep you safe? Yeah? Safe. 467 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: It's all a lie. The Democrat apparatuses and all these 468 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: different states, and the Democrats in the Congress, they are 469 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: the creators of this disorder, this violence, this chaos, this anarchy. 470 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: And really the part of it that is so lost 471 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: in this conversation is Democrats pretend to be the party 472 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: of the minorities, racial minorities in this country. First and foremost, 473 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: what the Democrat policies are doing to the black community, 474 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: specifically in cities when it comes to crime and safety, 475 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: is horrific, horrific, And yet because of the propaganda, and 476 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: because of the power of the media, and because of 477 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: the victimization narratives, and because of the way they frame 478 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: these issues, you get situations like you just saw in Chicago, 479 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 1: where Chicago just voted the residence of Chicago who suffered 480 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: the worst violence, not all of the violence obviously in 481 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: the city, but in the highest crime neighborhoods. They voted 482 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: for a Democrat who will ensure that the situation continues 483 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: to deteriorate, that more people leave because more people will 484 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: be shot and robbed and assaulted. And this is why 485 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: you get into a spiral. This is why it's very 486 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: hard for these cities until they have a real reckoning 487 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: to stop the deterioration. It's not bad enough. Yet, unfortunately, 488 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: and also similarly of an unfortunate nature, that was basically 489 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: a race driven election in Chicago. The black guy who 490 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: is going to make it less safe for black communities 491 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: turned the white guy into a right wing racist that 492 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: can't be trusted, and as a result, unfortunately, far more 493 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: Chicagoans are likely to die because of the mayor choice 494 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: they made. All racially based politics are toxic, all of Yes, 495 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: actually making determinations about a person based upon their skin 496 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: color in any context is wrong. Shouldn't do it. It's 497 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: not actually the very definition of racism. Yes, yes, but 498 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: there is there's you know, these narratives that are allowed 499 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: to flourish here of well, it's not racist if a 500 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: certain group does it. And then you say, we'll hold 501 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: on a second. What is the basic principle involved here? 502 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: We judge each other as equals and skin color is 503 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: irrelevant to character ability and everything else. That is the 504 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: fundamental principle. Are all communities across the country applying it 505 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: to the people that they are voting for With that 506 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: as a principle, I think it's worth having that conversation. 507 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: We talk about identity theft all the time here because 508 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: it happened so often. Here's a great example of how 509 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: Title Max's parent company TMX Finance Corporate Services disclosed a 510 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: data breach that happened to them because of cyber hackers. 511 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: The data breach of personal information included nearly five million individuals. 512 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: The information was accessed almost two weeks before it was 513 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: noticed and includes names and birthdates, as well as driver's 514 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: license and social security numbers. I mean with that kind 515 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: of stuff, cyber criminals can commit identity theft easily. It's 516 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting 517 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: all of our lives today.

They kept her hostage 542 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: for three hours in a classroom because they were so 543 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: afraid of what would happen after she was assaulted.

First of all, I'm presuming 555 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: that a lot of people are sharing their pets. I 556 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: want to apologize to all the lizard owners out there 557 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: for mispronouncing heel of monster, which, by the way, not 558 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: a very positive I would imagine name for an animal 559 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: the monster typically not seen as a very positive I 560 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: will say this. We have two cats. They are the 561 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: bay of my existence. Um, they are destroying everything in 562 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: the house, but the boys seem very happy with them. Buck. 563 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: Have you made any further progress towards adding a dog 564 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: to your family? The discussion is ongoing. We've talked about 565 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: in your place we got we got nothing. We got 566 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: nothing here, But I mean, can you have Are you 567 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: allowed like some places don't allow? Is this part of 568 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: the conversation. I mean, you know, I think technically no, 569 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: but you know, come on, what are they gonna do? Um? 570 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: So no, I don't think we are in my current 571 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: in my current home allowed to have a pet. Because 572 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: it's a condo and there are condo rules. You could 573 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: do it. You just have to get it approved. And 574 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: you know people have dogs here obviously, but you can't 575 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: just like show up with one. I think you have 576 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: to get get approval for it. Um. It's interesting. Also, 577 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: you know there are breed restrictions in a lot of buildings, 578 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: and people get into this thing of oh oh, mine's 579 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: a mix, they said, because you can't. A lot of 580 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: buildings won't allow and I'm not I'm not casting aspersions. 581 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get inundated, particularly by the pitbull people out there, 582 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: but a lot of buildings, apartment buildings won't allow pit bulls, 583 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: Rottweiler's mastiffs, and then some of the more exotic large 584 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: fighting dogs like present Canario. I'm trying to think of 585 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: a Dogo Argentino, which if you've ever seen these dogs, 586 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: by the way, they look like pitbulls on steroids. I 587 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: mean they're they're massive, so they won't allow you with 588 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: those sorts of dogs. But what I've talked to Carry about, 589 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: I say, look, maybe we think this is why I 590 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: ask for Clay and Buck VIPs and also on Twitter 591 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: and Facebook to just send us your different pets because 592 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: it's National Pet Day. Everybody you can take to us 593 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: at Clay and Buck the staff will see them on 594 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: social if you want to do that. And I say, 595 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, we could just go outside the box a 596 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: little bit here, because, as I've pointed out, Florida is 597 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: very very favorable to allowing you to have exotic pets. 598 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: The exotic pet trade here is flourishing. So you can 599 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: get pet, fox, pet raccoon. I mean probably I could 600 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: just get a pet coyote and say it was a mix. 601 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: Now is this advisable? Probably not um, but also a 602 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: sugar glider, right, do you even know what a sugar glider? To? Like? 603 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: This little four? Are you on? I mean, I'm many 604 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: many stories up in there, so you're gonna the reason 605 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: why I'm asking is you're gonna take a coyote into 606 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: an elevator into an elevator for like twenty flours. I 607 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: tell everybody it is a designer. It's you know, it's 608 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: like a coyote mix with a poodle, and nobody will 609 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: know the difference. I mean, I think if you have 610 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: a yard, there are potentially aggressive moves you could make 611 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: in terms of what animals you want to have. UM, 612 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: but for you to like walk into a Miami condo 613 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: with a coyote, I think I don't know what the 614 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: voting process is to remove you from being able to 615 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: stay in your building, but I think that you would 616 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: be on the fast track towards that. I think that 617 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: would be an issue. I'm looking here at the list. 618 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: I could have a pet Marmoset, which is very exciting. Boxes. 619 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: It's it's like a little like a little looks like 620 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: a small monkey, a small small primate.
