1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Making the American Farm Strong Again. 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now. 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Trump in the Oval office, President of South Korea scheduled 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: to visit with him. And this is what Trump said 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: just a few moments ago about the crime situation in Washington, 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: d C. 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 3: This is cut three. 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 4: Everybody before me is happy what I'm doing. Most of 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 4: you won't say that because you're radical left. The newspapers 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 4: are so dishonest. The press is totally dishonest. But that's 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 4: all right. We've got used to it, and we wanted 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 4: a landslide, so they obviously lost their power. I mean, 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 4: it's impossible to imagine that when you get ninety seven 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 4: percent negative stories, purposely negative stories, even though you've done 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 4: ninety seven percent positive things, that they could think you 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 4: could win an election in a landslide, winning all seven 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 4: think of it, all seven swing stays, winning the popular 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 4: vote by millions of votes. We had a fantastic The 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 4: best is your districts. Out of three thousand districts, I 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 4: guess we won three thousand, five hundred. We won two thousand, 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 4: seven hundred and fifty. And they won five hundred, and 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 4: that's said to me the best of all. 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: Okay, buck, It's becoming, I think, increasingly difficult to argue 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: that the surge of support for National Guard and DC 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: police and everything else isn't having an impact. I don't 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: think it's totally arbitrary that we've gone eleven or twelve 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: days without a murder in the summer, something they can't 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: find a record of in DC going back decades. Obviously, 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: crime tends to skyrocket in the summer weather. It's good 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: people have more free time, kids are out of school. 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: All of that is when typical violence is at its 33 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: peak all over the nation. Kind of feels like Trump 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: may well have made his point in DC, and I 35 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: love the idea of going into Chicago, Baltimore, other cities 36 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: with high crime rates and trying to see, hey, can 37 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: we save some more lives. 38 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: The street continues in DC. The harder it is for 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: those opposed to this to continue to oppose it without 40 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 3: looking like their pro murdered, pro crime. You know, there 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: have been a lot of people, I think who in 42 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 3: the media have been chastened already by their response. They 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: completely misunderstand the mood of the American people. We went 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: through this phase, we went through the Soros DA BLM era, 45 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: and we've decided enough is enough. And by we I 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 3: mean a solid majority of all of the American people. 47 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 3: And that is I think something that Democrats haven't figured 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 3: out how to handle politically. What do they do? Because 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: to turn around and face reality is to say that 50 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: Republicans have been right all along. To turn around and 51 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: to accept that the policies that we've been advocating for 52 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: for years not only would result in better numbers for crime, 53 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: better streets, better businesses, all that fewer dead people, something 54 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: that everybody, as we've discussed, should be able to get 55 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: behind and feel very pleased about. But I think Democrats 56 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: continue to have this problem and they can't escape the 57 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: radical left. They can't escape the loud voices that were 58 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: directing policy and their party for years. And now here 59 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: we are. Here is Brandon Johnson, the mayor. You mentioned Chicago. 60 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: How that could be next? Here is the mayor of Chicago. 61 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: This is cut eight play it. 62 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 5: What he is proposing at this point would be the 63 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 5: most flagrant violation of our constitution in the twenty first century. 64 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 5: The city of Chicago does not need a military occupation. 65 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 5: That's not what we need. In fact, we've been very 66 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 5: clear about what we need. We need to invest people 67 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 5: to ensure that we can build safe and affordable communities. 68 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: He's just promising more communism, and really more communism rooted 69 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: in race instead of class. Invest in people. Yeah, tax 70 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: the people who are productive and earn more, squander that 71 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: money on useless government programs that do nothing for really anybody. 72 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: And when it comes to crime, and more of the same. 73 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: And so you have to ask yourself, if you live 74 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 3: in a place like Chicago Clay that had six hundred 75 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: and twenty one murders in twenty twenty three, do you. 76 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 6: Want more of the same. That's what the mayor is offering. 77 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: I think it's becoming increasingly difficult to defend the status quo. 78 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: And I give President Trump a lot of credit for 79 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: changing the narrative here, because it's been fairly easy for 80 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: presidents to go into the White House and just pretend 81 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: that Washington, DC is all fine and dandy around them, 82 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: even though the violent crime rate has been extraordinarily high, 83 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: and Trump has already weighed in on the mayor of 84 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: Chicago member, maybe it's bumped up a bit since then 85 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: the mayor of Chicago had a six percent approval rating 86 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: in the city of Chicago. I want to repeat that 87 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: six is in five plus one. I've never seen a 88 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: mayoral approval rating that low. Everyone hates this guy. I 89 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: think the job he's done. If we put my name 90 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: on the do you. 91 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: Think that Mayor Sexton is doing a good job for 92 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 3: I think enough people would just be confused by the 93 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 3: question that I would get more than six percent by 94 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: Chicago residents. 95 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost impossible to get six percent of 96 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: people approving of a political official that low, even with 97 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: there being a ton of people who've done awful jobs. 98 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: Here is Trump on Brandon Johnson. Remember, Chicago actually managed 99 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: to get worse. They had Lorie Lightfoot, who was among 100 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: the worst mayors in the history of the COVID era. 101 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 3: And they will double down with awful They really did. 102 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: She lost. She lost in the primary to this guy. 103 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: Here is here is President Trump discussing that cut for I. 104 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 4: Watched as a very incompetent man from Chicago said, well, 105 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 4: what do they know? They only arrested nine people. I 106 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: said nine people. We didn't rest nine people. We actually 107 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: arrested a total of well over a thousand people. We 108 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 4: took hundreds of guns away from young kids that were 109 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 4: throwing them around like it was candy. We apprehended the 110 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 4: scores of illegal aliens. We seized dozens of illegal firearms. 111 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 4: There have been zero murders. It sounds sort of terrible 112 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: to say, it's embarrassing. I did this over the weekend. 113 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: I'm making a speech and I acted like I was 114 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: so proud as I said, We've had zero murders in 115 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 4: the last week, and some of these people were from 116 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 4: foreign countries. They said, that doesn't sound so good, and 117 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: I said, well, it doesn't sound good, but Washington was 118 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: the most dangerous place in this country, and now you 119 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 4: know what, it's probably the safest place in our contrayt. 120 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it is pretty extraordinary, and I get it 121 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: data sets can be somewhat arbitrary, but I think it's 122 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: it's really hard as we sit at eleven or twelve days, 123 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: coming up on two weeks, coming through weekends when violence 124 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: tends to peak because people are out in the streets more, 125 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: I think it's really hard to argue that this lower 126 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: rate of violent crime is not directly connected to what 127 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: Trump has done every day where the crime stays down, 128 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: it becomes harder as you get a larger data set. 129 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: I also think we should look to our distance south 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: a little bit here and give credit where it is due. 131 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: The president of El Salvador, Naye Bukeli, ran the experiment. 132 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: In the most stark obvious possible terms. Al Salvador was 133 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: a top five and in one year, I think at 134 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: clave was per capita number one, per capita number one 135 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: or number two, murder capital as a nation of the world. Yes, 136 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: for you know, this doesn't include civil wars obviously, or 137 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: war right, this is criminal homicides inside of the borders 138 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: of a country that still function as a country. But 139 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: it was pretty much the murder capital of the world 140 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: more or less. Now it's the safest country in Latin America, 141 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: the safest country in all of Latin America. And he 142 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: did this in a matter of years. 143 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 6: What happened? 144 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: What was the miracle? He said, you know what, we 145 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: know who the bad people are, and we're just going 146 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: to stop allowing them to do bad things, and we're 147 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: going to punish them and we're going to take them 148 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: out of broader society full stop. 149 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 6: And look what he did. 150 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: The biggest from the worst to the best in all 151 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: of Latin America. And now we look at our American 152 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: cities and we see places. You know, we just talked 153 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: about Chicago. What did I say, six hundred murders in 154 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, fifty percent more murders the New York City, 155 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 3: which has four times the people, so fifty percent more 156 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: homicides one fourth of the population. That's okay. The Chicago, 157 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: the Chicago political establishment thinks that that's an acceptable situation. 158 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: My host El Salvador, no doubt, my home state of Memphis. Uh, 159 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: the city here in my home state had more murders 160 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: than New York City. 161 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 6: Think about how crazy, straight. 162 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: Up right had to head comparison to head head to head. 163 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: In recent years, Memphis, Tennessee had more murders than New 164 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,119 Speaker 1: York City. How is that acceptable? 165 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: Again? 166 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: I've said if I were governor, I would follow the 167 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: lead of Trump. I would send in the state National Guard. 168 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: I would make this end. And I think what did 169 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: I say when we started this that it was an 170 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: interesting test case. And we talked about this buck We said, 171 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: if it works, it's going to prove that there just 172 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: hasn't been the will to drive down violent crime. And 173 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: now that the violent crime is going down and you're 174 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: using Washington d C as a test case. This is 175 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: where I got attacked for saying, hey, this is a 176 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: really good opportunity to see if it works, that if 177 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: it does, it should spread. And I never thought that 178 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: I would get attacked in the media for saying, hey, 179 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: let's drive down the murder rate, let's save more lives. 180 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: I did, But Trump is actually just saying I'm not 181 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: going to stand for this. And I do think it's 182 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: connected to the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Washington, 183 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: d C. But more than that, I think Trump wants 184 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: d C to be a jewel of America. I saw 185 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: where he's gonna ask for more money to basically retrofit 186 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: and rehabilitate many of the great parks in d C 187 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: to make it a true diamond of American life. 188 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: And so how d d C as a place as 189 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: a location, maybe not so much in the summertime, is 190 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 3: a beautiful place, and there should be something aspirational when 191 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: children from Oklahoma and Washington State and you know, and 192 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 3: Illinois and you name it, southern California, when they go 193 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: to d C on that school trip, which I know 194 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: so many of you. Everyone should think, Wow, what an 195 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: incredible jewel of a city with so much history and 196 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: gorgeous architecture and clean, safe streets. This stuff matters. This 197 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: stuff matters, and I think that Trump is I love this. 198 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: I think this is fantastic idea, and I hope that 199 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: he continues. 200 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 201 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: I do think there is a story that is becoming 202 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: pretty intriguing, and it is Joe Scarborough probably and potentially 203 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: still smarting from the public humiliation that he suffered because 204 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: he said that Joe Biden twenty twenty four was just 205 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: as good of a Biden as he had ever seen, 206 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: in fact, the best version of Biden. And after the 207 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: June twenty seventh debate, I think Joe Scarborough was embarrassed 208 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: on a level that it's hard to be embarrassed in 209 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: public prognostication. And I think he has decided a bit 210 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: to go to war with the diehard nbcview MSNBC viewing audience. Remember, 211 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: he and Mika initially were very favorable with Trump, then 212 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: that relationship turn negative. Then they went and kissed the 213 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: ring after Trump won reelection, which led many of the 214 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: people in the NBC audience to be furious. The MSNBC 215 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: audience has not been galvanized this time by the Trump administration. 216 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: In fact, audience ratings have continued to be weak and 217 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: to frankly collapse. And maybe that has emboldened Joe Scarborough 218 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: to actually start being a journalist. Because Buck, you shared 219 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: this this morning, I went and watched and I got 220 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: to give Joe Scarborough credit he had on Chicago may 221 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: Or Brandon Johnson and let's set the table here, I 222 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: think brilliantly in the summer months here, Trump has changed 223 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: the agenda from from basically tariffs and worrying about the 224 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: economy because we're at records stock market highs, and he 225 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: has said we're going to go to war with violent crime, 226 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: and DC was the first place that he decided to 227 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: bring out the National Goal. I believe we are now 228 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong, Team, I think we're 229 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: at either day twelve or day thirteen without a murder 230 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: in DC. Overall crime rates have fallen precipitously, and now 231 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: Trump is talking about bringing the National Guard to Chicago 232 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: and Baltimore and other American cities that he believes have 233 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: far too high of a crime rate, and Joe Scarborough 234 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: asked Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson this morning on MSNBC a 235 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: very simple question, would having more police officers make the 236 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: city of Chicago safer? And I want to play. I'm 237 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: going to call for each of these in succession. I 238 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: want to play you the mayor of Chicago refusing to 239 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: answer if more police officers would make the city safer? 240 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: Here is part one. 241 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 7: Would you also like to get federal funding to help 242 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 7: put five thousand more cops. 243 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 3: On the street in Chicago? Would that help drive down crime? 244 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 5: Well, Look, policing by itself is not the full strategy. 245 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 7: I understand here if you've talked about the other things 246 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 7: you want, and I said, those are good and important programs. 247 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 7: But I'm asking also, would five thousand more police officers 248 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 7: on the street in Chicago be helpful to go along 249 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 7: with all of those social programs And a lot of 250 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 7: cities are engaging in and having success with. 251 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 5: Look, here's the best play I can put it, Joe, 252 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 5: is that in the nineties when I was in high school, 253 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 5: we had three thousand more police officers and we had 254 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 5: nine hundred people being murdered every single year in Chicago. 255 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 5: It's just not policing alone. 256 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: Okay, this continues. 257 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 3: The way we set this up is would more cops 258 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: be helpful? Joe Scarborough is actually conceding as part of 259 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: his questioning. Here, he says, if we give you all 260 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: the money you want for your violence interrupters, for your 261 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: your you know, community organizers, for your all these, by 262 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: the way, things that do absolutely nothing, I know you'll 263 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 3: find some radicals. We'll say, oh my gosh, the history 264 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: of violence interrupters. Please give me a break. Okay, social workers, 265 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: He says, With all that, would you also want more cops? 266 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 3: And now, Claire you can continue to work through that. 267 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: It's astonishing this guy, the Mayor of Chicago. Here is 268 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: part two. 269 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, he of the recent six 270 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: percent approval rating, asked again, yes or no? Would five 271 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: thousand cops help MSNBC this morning? 272 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: Of course? 273 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 7: Of course I know it's not, but I know it's 274 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 7: not policing alone. 275 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: You've told me everything else you want. 276 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 7: I'm curious and this is this does come down to 277 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 7: an ideological difference between between people. 278 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: Do you believe that the streets in. 279 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 7: Chicago would be safer if there were more uniformed police 280 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 7: officers on the streets of Chicago. 281 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 5: I believe the city of Chicago is the cities across America, 282 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 5: would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing. 283 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 7: Look, that's not the question. I asked my question, and 284 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 7: I just idiots or no. 285 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 8: Do you believe the streets of Chicago would be safer 286 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 8: if you got all of those other extraordinary programs put 287 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 8: back into place, which do have. 288 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 7: A history of being successful. If if that's complimented by 289 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 7: having five thousand more cops on the streets of Chicago. 290 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 5: I don't believe that we should narrow it down to 291 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 5: just police officers. On what I'm saying, that is an 292 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 5: antiquittit approach. 293 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Okay, it continues, buck, and I just think I gotta 294 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: give Scotch Joe Scarborough credit. He sounds a bit like 295 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: me back in the day with Mike Pints, when you 296 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: just can't get an answer from a question that you 297 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: think is actually an important one. Here is more Brandon Johnson, 298 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: mayor of Chicago, having his feet held to the fire 299 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: on a simple question, Hey, would more cops help cut three? 300 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 7: I'm saying you've invested in mister Marra, hearing what I'm saying, 301 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 7: I'm agreeing with you that all of these other social 302 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 7: programs are extraordinarily important. I just need a yes or 303 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 7: a no, and then this will be the last time 304 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 7: I ask if you get all of those other social 305 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 7: programs that that eight hundred million that New York City does, 306 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 7: Los Angeles and other people do with great success, would 307 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 7: an additional five thousand cops on the streets in Chicago 308 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 7: help compliment those programs to make Chicago safer? 309 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 5: Look, we are working hard to make sure that our 310 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 5: police department is fully supported. I don't believe that just 311 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 5: simply putting out an arbitrary number around police officers is 312 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 5: the answer. What I'm saying is policing and affordable housing 313 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 5: is policing, and mental and behavior healthcare services is policing 314 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 5: and youth employment. 315 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 3: Okaylay is important. I think Joe Scarborough is basically begging 316 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: this guys banking. He's like, hey, moron, I'll give you 317 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: everything else you want. Will pretend all these programs that 318 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 3: don't do a darn thing in any of these places 319 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 3: that anyone can measure will also be in place here. 320 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: But can you just say more cops would help with 321 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 3: the crime problem. Could you please just say it? He 322 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 3: won't say it the mayor, And it's because the mayor 323 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 3: of Chicago is anti cop. He's anti law enforcement. He 324 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 3: thinks cops are the problem. He thinks the crime in 325 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: the south and west sides of Chicago, where there are 326 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 3: a lot of homicides, even for an American city, a 327 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 3: lot of homicides going on. He thinks that the issue 328 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 3: is mass incarceration and over policing Clay. 329 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 6: That's the bottom line. And he won't change his mind. 330 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: Yes, and I think this is brilliant of Trump. I 331 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: just think it is absolutely brilliant. 332 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 3: And I. 333 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: Am staggered at the stupidity of Democrats responding to this. 334 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: Trump is trying to lower violent crime. In so doing, 335 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: he is going to save more black lives by far 336 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: than anyone who marched in BLM protests and argued for 337 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 1: defunding the police ever did in fact that cost black lives. 338 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: And most of you out there, white, black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, 339 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: male female, all of you say, yeah, more cops would help. 340 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: Why can Democrats not say it? Because the base of 341 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: the Democrat party still believes that police are the problem. 342 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: They believe a lie. And I think this is why 343 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: Trump has cut through the noise and the results here. 344 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: You know, we sometimes talk Buck, and I think it's 345 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: important that there are two tracks on everything. Is it 346 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: politically smart and does it actually make the country better? 347 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes those don't overlap. Here they do. It's both smart 348 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: and the country is better if we lower the overall 349 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: rate of violent crime. And Trump has cut through the noise. 350 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: And right now the debate we're having in the summer 351 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: of his first term is should we have more police? 352 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: And is Trump trying to lower a violent crime too aggressively? 353 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: It's brilliant. I just I got to give him credit 354 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: for it. It is absolutely brilliant. 355 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 356 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: There was an exchange. Now, it might be a little 357 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: hard to hear the reporter for some of you out there, 358 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 3: so we'll fill in a bit of it because this 359 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 3: was an exchange of back and forth. You'll be able 360 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 3: to hear Trump, obviously, but the reporter. 361 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 6: But I wanted to hear a. 362 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 3: Reporter tells the story of how she was mugged in Washington, DC, 363 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 3: and wanted you to hear how this went play thirty 364 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: three two years ago. 365 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 9: Was a Saturday one and rock Daylight was all my 366 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 9: way to work, and a young man with a last 367 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 9: as pointed a gun in my face and threatened me 368 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 9: to hand over my phone, my wallet, my laptop and 369 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 9: everything else. And when I refused, he used the butt 370 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 9: of his headgun to strike me across the face the 371 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 9: cheek or what some people call him pistol with me 372 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 9: before running away. That has deeply traumatized myself and my 373 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 9: family ever since. I've never dared to walk in the 374 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 9: street of DC at night ever, and my family was 375 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 9: extremely worried. So, mister President, thank you so. 376 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 4: Much for what you're doing. 377 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 6: A rank. 378 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 4: I'm being honest. 379 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 9: Such incidents involved not just me, but also my family. 380 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: If he had shot. 381 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 9: Me, I could have died right there in the middle 382 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 9: of nowhere, without my family's or my friends knowing. At 383 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 9: the age of back then, I think twenty twenty three, right, just. 384 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 3: Starting my career here in. 385 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 9: DC, without even starting a family, and now they're blessed 386 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 9: to have this appributy. 387 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 4: So you had a gun pointed in your head, and 388 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 4: you probably figured that he's gonna pull the trigger because 389 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 4: these our animal so don't know what the hell. They 390 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 4: couldn't care less. The pulling the trigger to him is 391 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 4: a very minor event, and I'm sure he's done that before. 392 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 4: So how did you and you and you did refuse 393 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 4: to give it, which would probably maybe somebody would say 394 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 4: that was not the right decision, right, But you refused 395 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 4: but I understand that. 396 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 3: So and then he hit you real hard. Yes, okay, Clay, 397 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: this is here's a reporter I saw in the exchanience. 398 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 3: She's she looks to be an Asian American. 399 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: She's a y or that the Epic Times. I believe 400 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: some people may get that newspaper weekly. I believe that 401 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: goes out many different places. 402 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: Yes, so he's a young woman. She's not not physically large, 403 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 3: formidable person, versal woman. And beyond that, you know, she's 404 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 3: not somebody who would be in a particularly strong position 405 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 3: to defend herself broad daylight. Guy with a ski mask 406 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: pulls a gun, says I'm gonna murder you if you 407 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 3: don't give me your stuff, and then he pistol whips 408 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 3: her in the face. 409 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 6: People hear stories like this in d C. 410 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: Clay, and you know what the response is, Oh yeah, 411 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 3: I know a few other people that that's happened to. 412 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: And remember this is happening in the nice neighborhoods.

That's what you should be 499 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 10: talking about. That's where you should be focused. Don't take 500 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 10: the bait and talking about migrant crime or carjackings or 501 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 10: the things that actually don't matter to that. 502 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: Many Americans don't take the bait on violent crime mattering 503 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: to that many Americans, and I do think again, this 504 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: woman's story is echoed by almost everybody that is listening 505 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: to us in the country. Somewhere in a city, somewhere 506 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 1: in your state, innocent people are being victimized by crime. 507 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: And Trump has just said no longer, We're not going 508 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: to stand for this, and buck twelve days since a 509 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: murder happened in Washington, DC. At some point there will 510 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: be a murder. But when I see twelve days, based 511 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: on the history of Washington, d C in the summer 512 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: over decades, at some point you have to start to say, hey, 513 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: maybe this is not a total statistical anomaly. Maybe Trump 514 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: really is starting to drive down violent crime in Washington, 515 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: d C. And this is why it's ultimately scary to 516 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: Democrats because if Trump can do this, Trump shut down 517 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: the border. Remember the whole story that we heard for 518 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: years was Congress has to act in order for there 519 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: to be border security. Trump showed up and shut down 520 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: the border security. And I think what's happening now with 521 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: DC violent crime is Democrats are becoming terrified. 522 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 3: Chicago. 523 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: We started off, Baltimore, Memphis, Kansas City, New Orleans, whatever 524 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: city you want to point to with a huge violent 525 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: crime rate. It's a failure of will, it's a failure 526 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: of caring enough to actually drive down crime. We can 527 00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: do it. 528 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 3: If you look at what most of the homicides are 529 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 3: in a place like Washington, DC. They are not you know, 530 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 3: it's not like people are having a random property dispute 531 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 3: and they both pull out guns or something. It's overwhelmingly 532 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 3: drug slash, gang related and theft, slash, armed robbery crime related. Right. 533 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 3: I mean, this is people are being shot because someone's 534 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 3: trying to take something from them, or people are being 535 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: shot and or shooting at each other because they want 536 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 3: to be able to sell drugs in a certain area 537 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 3: without competition. I mean, this is what drives most of 538 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: the homicides in a place like Washington, DC, in a 539 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 3: lot of places across the country. Those things can be 540 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 3: made more difficult if there are more law enforcement officers 541 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: on the streets and if they are told that arrests 542 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,479 Speaker 3: will be turned over to prosecutors who will do something 543 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 3: with those arrests. 544 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 6: That's a huge component of this. Remember on order Dundunton. 545 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 3: You know, it's about the police to investigate crimes and 546 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 3: the prosecutors who bring them to bring the offenders to 547 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 3: justice in a court. It has to be a one 548 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 3: to two punch. But Clay, of course, you can address 549 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 3: these things. You make it harder for somebody to get 550 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 3: away with going and doing a drive by shooting on 551 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: a rival's turf. You make it harder for somebody to 552 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 3: think I'm going to put on a ski mask, as 553 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: was done to this young female reporter and in broad daylight, 554 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 3: pull out a gun and smack you in the face 555 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 3: with it and think that I'm going to get away. 556 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: This is really straightforward stuff, and I like that Trump 557 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: is doing this for the reasons we've all discussed about 558 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 3: saving lives and helping people and making the streets better. 559 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: But also he just don't let Democrats squirm out on 560 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 3: this one. Don't let them get away with what they're 561 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 3: doing here, which is they are defending the status quo 562 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 3: of unacceptable criminality in American cities. That's what they are doing. 563 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: And again, days without a murder, are they going to 564 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: be in a position where they're actually now rooting for 565 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: murders to occur. This is why the Trump move is 566 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: so brilliant, both politically and also morally right sometimes, thankfully, 567 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: these things overlap where you can do the right thing politically, Hey, 568 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: we should have less crime. That's something Republicans should be behind. 569 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: And also morally because even the people that Trump is protecting, 570 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: remember almost none of them voted for him. DC was 571 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: of what ninety five to five voting for Democrats. It's 572 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: taken a Republican president to be willing to say I'm 573 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: going to make you safer. And it's not necessarily politically 574 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: beneficial in Washington, d C. For Trump. These are people 575 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: that are not Republican voter. Same thing Chicago, same thing 576 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: in all these different blue cities. But it's just the 577 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: right thing to do. It's the right thing to do, 578 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: and it's something Democrats should have done. Are unwilling and 579 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: Trump looked at it and said, I'm going to fix this. 580 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: God bless them for the Team forty seven podcast is 581 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: sponsored by Good Ranchers. 582 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 6: Making the American Farm Strong Again. 583 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 2: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 584 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: One of the big stories of the last two or 585 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: three weeks has been Trump taking over the National Guard 586 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: in DC taking over the Metro Police. And I got 587 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: to give credit to DC Mayor Muriel Bowser before I 588 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: play this buck, you said on the show a couple 589 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, Hey, I kind of think Muriel Bowser 590 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: agrees with a lot of what Trump is doing based 591 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: on some of the conversations you had had behind the scenes. 592 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 3: I kind of know someone who knows the mayor really 593 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 3: well and new for a fact, So I wish I 594 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 3: could I wish I could say that I just read 595 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 3: the tea leaves on this one. 596 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 6: But this was spybuck, you know what I'm saying. 597 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 3: This was me running running assets behind enemy counter in 598 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 3: counter intel, you had knowledge that the mayor actually agrees 599 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: with a lot of the Trump policies on never say 600 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: so like that, but yeah, the mayor, Mayor bow would 601 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 3: like DC crime to be lower, and she's very she 602 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: wants more business investment, and she wants safer streets, which, 603 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 3: by the way, good for her. The fact that she 604 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 3: can she say that out loud though in that way, 605 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 3: is telling you a lot about the politics of DC. 606 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: All Right, So we've got Muriel Bowser. He or she 607 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: is saying eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings, which were 608 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: one of the crimes that had skyrocketed in Washington, d C. 609 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: And giving praise to all of the assistants now that 610 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 1: exists in Washington, d C. 611 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 3: Cut nineteen. 612 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 11: We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what 613 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 11: MPD has been able to do in this city for carjackings. 614 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 11: The difference between this period, this twenty day period of 615 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 11: this federal surge and last year represents a eighty seven 616 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 11: percent reduction in carjackings in Washington. We know that when 617 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 11: carjackings go down, when the use of gun goes down, 618 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 11: when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and 619 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 11: are safer. So this surge has been important to us 620 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 11: for that reason. 621 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 3: You know this srives me. I feel like Trump should 622 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 3: have a Colonel Nathan R. Jessep moment where he's just 623 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 3: like I would rather you just say thank you or 624 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 3: man a post. When it comes to the Democrats who 625 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 3: have opposed Trump on this crime thing, they should just 626 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 3: say I mean, especially the ones who live in DC, 627 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 3: they should just say thank you, because he's right and 628 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 3: it's helping and it's a good thing. 629 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 1: This is a stat that I thought was staggering. They 630 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: pulled the AP so this is not right wing poll you. 631 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: The AP Associated Press did a poll they said, do 632 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: you think that crime is out of control basically a 633 00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: major issue in big cities in America? Eighty one percent 634 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: of people said it was eighty one percent buck eighteen 635 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: percent said it's an issue, but it's a minor issue, 636 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: not a major issue. So ninety nine percent of Americans 637 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: say that big city crime is either a major eighty 638 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 1: one percent or minor eighteen percent issue. 639 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 3: One percent of people said it's not an issue. 640 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: Democrats have hooked their wagon, hooked their horses to the 641 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: wagon of crime is not that big of a deal. 642 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: It's actually way better than you think. Trump is a 643 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: dictator because he's trying to drive down crime. I just 644 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: got to give tremendous credit to Trump for his political 645 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: instincts and being totally and completely wrong right on this. 646 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: And I got to give Mayor Muriel Bowser this is 647 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: how real politicians should work, I understand. And if they 648 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: have disagreements, they have two different political parties, all those things. 649 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: Conflict is not bad when it's rational, reasonable conflict about 650 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: the direction that something should go. 651 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 3: Crime should not be an issue of conflict. 652 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: We should all as you just heard me say. The 653 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: AP says ninety nine percent of people say crime is 654 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: even either a major minor issue in big cities in America. 655 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 6: Maybe maybe Trump is just right. 656 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: About this issue, and it's better if there's less violent crime. 657 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: Buck eighty seven percent decline in carjackings, do you know, 658 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 1: everybody out there, carjackings aren't an incredibly violent crime. You 659 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,919 Speaker 1: are using a weapon, generally speaking, to get someone who 660 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: is in a car, dragging them out, forcing them out. 661 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes there are kids involved, babies if you have car seats, 662 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: it's not like you can easily get a child out. 663 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: It happens every now and then. A carjacking where there's 664 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: still a baby in the back of the car you 665 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: take off speeding. A carjacking typically is really four or 666 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 1: five crimes all rolled into one. To knock them down 667 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 1: by eighty seven percent is flat out extraordinary. And again 668 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 1: I think this just shows that it's not an intractable, 669 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: unsolvable problem. The question has just been is there a 670 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: will to actually address violent crime? 671 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 3: And with Trump there is and we're seeing the results 672 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 3: which we knew what happened, because it turns out what 673 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 3: is obviously true is obviously true. Look at that more cops, 674 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 3: more resources, less opportunity for criminals to get away with things, 675 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 3: you're going to get less crime. Generally, you get more 676 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 3: of what you encourage, you get less of what you discourage. 677 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 3: Discouraging the criminal element in DC from doing what they 678 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 3: do is a good thing. And yet here we are 679 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 3: still having so many Democrats pretend that somehow there's something 680 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 3: wrong with Trump's approach on this, in fact, worse than wrong. 681 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 3: I mean they think it is it is, you know, evil, 682 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 3: it is undermining our sacred democracy. They say all kinds 683 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 3: of crazy stuff. Notice one thing you won't hear them say, 684 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 3: we have a different plan to bring crime down. And 685 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 3: the ones who are foolish enough to actually go there, 686 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 3: like the Mayor of Chicago, their answers, or rather their 687 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 3: their planning is laughable. More social workers has not, will not, 688 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 3: and never will assist in bringing down serious violent crime 689 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 3: in any way you can measure, and in any way 690 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 3: that anybody would consider serious. So they don't have an alternative. 691 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,919 Speaker 3: So really, what the Democrats have is because we don't 692 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,839 Speaker 3: want law enforcement to seem racist, and because we don't 693 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 3: want Trump to seem correct, and we certainly don't want 694 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 3: to have to admit we're wrong as Democrats, we would 695 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 3: rather more people be carjacked, more people be shot, and 696 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 3: bad things continue to happen in American cities. Then would 697 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 3: happen if we just let Republicans like Trump do what 698 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 3: they want to do and do what they know should 699 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 3: be done. 700 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 6: That's as simple as this is clay. That's it. You know. 701 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 3: It's just like we said with the Biden border. You 702 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 3: either deport people and discourage legal crossings, or you encourage 703 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 3: it and you get ten million people coming into the country. 704 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 6: It's very straightforward. 705 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: I think deep down Democrats are like, oh, wow, this 706 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 1: is working because I think they really thought, oh, there's 707 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: nothing we can do about crime, and I think they're 708 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: starting to recognize when you've got ninety nine percent of 709 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: people saying it's either a major or minor issue in 710 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: big cities in America. I'm not saying the one percent. 711 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of something that I would believe 712 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: that I would be willing to go to the mat 713 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: on that ninety nine percent of people would disagree with me. 714 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the one percent is always wrong. It's 715 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: pretty hard to for the one percent argument to win. 716 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, if you have a honest, in any way 717 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: impartial media, and I think Trump is winning, and I 718 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: think candidly even a lot of left wing journalists who 719 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: claim that they hate Trump agree with him on the 720 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: DC crime related issue.
