We had quite 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: an hour with the former President Donald Trump yesterday, and 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: we were very appreciative of how many different news organizations 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: pick that up and ran with it, and the herschel 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: Walker story that came out of it, the Tucker Essay story. Clay, 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: I gotta say, some news broke yesterday right here in 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: this studio. It was everywhere, and we want to thank 11 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: all of you who helped us sweep past the Today Show, 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: my mortal enemies in the podcast rankings. We are right now. 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: I know we got four hundred different stations out there, 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: and we love all of you listening on AM and 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: FM radio in all fifty states. But I want us 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 1: to continue to dominate in the podcast ranking. So if 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: you can search out Clay Travis, you can search out Bucks, 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: then you can go subscribe to the Clay and Buck Show. 19 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: I think it sends a message about free thought, about 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: the audience out there that is not going to continue 21 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: to allow the NPRS and the New York Times of 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: the world to try to set the agenda. And that's 23 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: two of the people were behind right now, Buck NPR 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: and the New York Times. I've got him squarely in 25 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: my sights. Those NPR commies cannot. I'm allowed to continue 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: with this, this dominance in the rankings, Clay, they are 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: in our sights. We're coming for them. We're coming for you, 28 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: NPR well. And what I love about when we're in 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: you know, the top five, when we're dominating one of 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: the twenty most listen to podcasts in America on iTunes, 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: what I love about it is it sends a message 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: that Rush's influence is not going to vanish. We are 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: picking up the flag that he waved so brilliantly for 34 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: the past thirty years and continuing to advance many of 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: the causes that he cared about. And I know a 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: lot of listeners out there have been concerned about that candidly, 37 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: what kind of what kind of battles are going to 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: be fought going forward now that one of the best 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: generals that has ever been involved in this industry is 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: not there to fight those battles. And look, we're not 41 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: claiming to be any way replacements for Rush Limbaugh. And 42 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: we've said that over and over again as we've been 43 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: introducing ourselves to you guys out there listening to us. 44 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: But I do think that we are sending an important 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: message in Trump's interview with us yesterday for an hour 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: about how we are going to continue to be able 47 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: to win and fight the battles that Rush cared about, 48 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: and so early metrics there in the podcast. We appreciate 49 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: all of you given us five stars going and subscribing. 50 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: I know everybody listens different ways. My seventy five year 51 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: old dad's going to listen different than twenty two year 52 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: old out there who's home out on college break right now. 53 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: And we're trying to reach as large of an audience 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: as possible, So we are immensely appreciative of the battles 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: that you guys are already fighting for us out there. 56 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: And if we had a central premise ye on the show, 57 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: I think to tell the truth would probably be number one. 58 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: To tell you the truth, to see what's really going on, 59 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: which brings me so, what's happening in New York City? 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: Rare hometown Buck is a mess NYC. Anybody who follows 61 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: and I follow it pretty closely because I grew up there. 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: New York City politics knows the Board of Elections is 63 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: a disaster. It really is. It's a disaster. And right 64 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: now you have what you'd have to call a massive 65 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: election irregularity playing out in the mayor's race in the 66 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: largest city in America. And for for everyone out there, 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: this I understand, this is about. This is one city, 68 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: but you have a bunch of national narratives that are 69 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: playing out in this contest, one of which we've already 70 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: talked about here, which is, of course defund the police, 71 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: and how you have a candidate who is explicitly opposed 72 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: to that, a former police officer himself. And you can 73 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: already see the tipping point now, you can already see 74 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: Democrats moving away from defund as crazy as it was 75 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: all along, and some of us will need to say 76 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: it along. But then there's also are you allowed to 77 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: wonder about election processes? Are you allowed to be a 78 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: person who asks questions about the sanctity of election? I mean, 79 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: if you question election process In the last few months, 80 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: the media wanted you to know that you're an insurrectionist 81 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: who is suppressing minority votes while threatening our democracy, except 82 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: this election, Clay, all of a sudden, it's fine. Let's 83 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: just give folks the quick background here on what happened. 84 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: They had in New York City. They have got ranked voting, 85 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: which is a process by which you put you know, 86 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: one through five who you want, and then they do 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: these rounds and they get rid of the you know, 88 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: the seventh tier candidate and the sixth tiers and the 89 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: fifth year and the fourth and they go down and 90 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: chill your left. And that's if no one gets more 91 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: than fifty percent of number one votes the first time out. 92 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: So if you don't get a majority, you go into 93 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: this rank system. Other places have this, but other places 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: are not the Democrat kleptocracy that is New York City. 95 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just there's so much corruption and nonsense 96 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: going on to New York politics all the time. So 97 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: here's what happened. You had one hundred and thirty five 98 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: thousand test ballots that were included in the account that 99 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: was initially put online that showed a tremendous narrow wing 100 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: between Eric Adams, who is the in this member. These 101 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: are all Democrats we're talking about. There is Curtis Slew, 102 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: there is a Republican here is running, but he doesn't 103 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: get a lot of attention right now, he's a good guy. 104 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty five thousand ballots added into this 105 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: that shouldn't have been at all, But it showed my 106 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: O Wiley and Garcia gaining, gaining substantially on Eric Adams. 107 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: And so that's you know, as we see the Catherine 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: Garcia gaining on Eric Adams. That's a moment now where 109 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: you say, okay. They then had to pull the tally 110 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: down and say we'll come back with more here, don't worry. 111 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: And today I believe they've released updated numbers. But Clay, 112 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: if they could erroneously count one hundred and thirty five 113 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: thousand ballots, put it online as an official tally and 114 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 1: then pull it down, aren't people allowed to say, maybe 115 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: we do need to look at some of these election 116 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: processes in some places, maybe not just New York either. Well, 117 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: let's consider what the candidates themselves are saying. Sounds eerily 118 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: similar to a lot of people who questioned the twenty 119 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: twenty election, which we were told was racist and was 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: unacceptable and an insurrection that threatened the foundations of our democracy. 121 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: Here's maya Wiley, who was considered to be the most 122 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: left leaning of the candidates. Here's this official statement that 123 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: she put out, Buck. This error is not just a 124 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: failure to count votes properly today, it is the result 125 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: of generations of failures that have gone unaddressed. This is 126 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: the far left wing New York City Democratic candidate. In 127 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: her official statement, Buck, imagine if Donald Trump comes out 128 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: and says, this failure to count votes properly is the 129 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: result of generations of failures that have gone unaddressed. This 130 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: is the farthest left wing candidate, and then she says, listen, sadly, 131 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: it's impossible to be surprised. Last summer, the Board of 132 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: Elections mishandled tens of thousands of mail in ballots during 133 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: the June twenty twenty primary. It's also been prone to 134 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: complaints of patronage. This is her official statement, Buck. Today, 135 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: we have once again seen the mismanagement that has resulted 136 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: in a lack of confidence in results, not because there 137 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: is a flaw in our election laws just thrown in there, 138 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: but because those who implement it have failed too many times. 139 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: By the way, I would suggest that if the people 140 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: in charge of it have failed too many times. That's 141 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: maybe a sign that the elections law itself is flawed. 142 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: The BOE must now count the remainder of the votes 143 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: that so this is transparently to insure integrity. Okay, basically, 144 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: this is Buck, the farthest left wing candidate in the 145 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: New York City Democratic mayoral primary who has basically said 146 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: more aggressively what Rudy Giuliani lost his law license in 147 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: New York for saying saying, Hey, we need some transparency here. 148 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: We don't need votes going on. There are decades generations 149 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: of failures. This is a pretty big statement. I gotta say, 150 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: I'm concerned right now, Clay. You brought up mail in 151 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: ballots being mishandled, and I'm wondering if the show as 152 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: we are alive here Biden stormtroopers may come and grab us, 153 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: because that is the center of the insurrectionist mindset. How 154 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: dare you think that mail in ballots may be subject 155 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: to irregularities or mishandling, or perhaps even tampering. You cannot 156 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: say that, Clay, unless you're a Democrat who's upset about 157 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: being behind in your four defund police and then the 158 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: media is going to give you a pass Isn't that fascinating? 159 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: She said explicitly. I'm reading a directly from her statement 160 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: last summer. The Board of Elections mishandled tens of thousands 161 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: of mail in ballots during the June twenty twenty primary. Buck, 162 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Or was the twenty twenty election decided 163 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: by roughly forty thousand votes? It's amazing to see how 164 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: quickly the standards change. Because I'm old enough to remember, 165 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: because I'm at least a few months old, when recounts, 166 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: when official recounts were essentially assigned, that you were ready 167 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: to commit treason where asking questions about tabulations and software 168 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: would get you, not only, of course, shrieking hysteria from 169 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: CNN while there is still a CNN given out things 170 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: are going, but shrieking hysteria. Beyond that, you would have 171 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: social media giants who have more control over communication in 172 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: this country than any other entities in the world, much 173 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: more so than cable news, much more so than anywhere else. 174 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: They would shut you down. You could get banned for 175 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: saying the wrong thing about that election. But here we are. 176 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: How is the tabulation error that will be fixed? I 177 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: mean they're putting the new numbers out today. I mean 178 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: when I say fixed, who I guess Yeah, I mean 179 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, we'll take that on faith. It's the 180 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: New York City political machine. Good luck with that. But 181 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: but there there's a willingness to say, oh, well, they're 182 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: gonna do it the right way with this one. But 183 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: if you had any questions before you were, you were 184 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: a terrible person. You were destroying our democracy by wanting 185 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: to verify as well as trust. Well, let's also have 186 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: this conversation. What's the New York Times headline right now? 187 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: New York Times, which says, all the time, any question 188 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: for Trump for the last six months, whatever the heck 189 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: it is eight months, any question of electoral integrity is 190 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: a lie. It is a lie. It is unacceptable. Here 191 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: is the headline. I'm looking right now, there's your evidence. 192 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm flashing my phone to Buck so he can see 193 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: it too. New York Times top headline, Live at the top, 194 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Big headline confusion in Gulf's New York mayor's race after 195 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: elections board debacle, and then underneath it a couple of 196 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: tabs after erroneously counting one hundred and thirty five thousand 197 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: test ballots, The New York City Board of Elections said 198 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: it would release new results Wednesday afternoon, and then another 199 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,479 Speaker 1: tab that tabulations will be released will still not factor 200 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 1: in more than one hundred and twenty four thousand Democratic 201 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: abs and T ballots that were returned. Here's the latest 202 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: on the race, and the next headline is here's a 203 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: look inside decades of nepotism and bungling at the New 204 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: York City Elections Board. That sounds like The New York 205 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: Times to me, Buck might be questioning the integrity of 206 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: our elections, which they've told us is totally unacceptable in 207 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: a democracy. I guess they should be banned from Facebook, 208 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: kicked off of Twitter. I mean, there should be at 209 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: least some preliminary FBI investigation of this incitement to undermining 210 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: our democracy. I know that's not really a crime, but 211 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. We all know right that, 212 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: no matter how this shakes out from here going forward, 213 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: there's very likely, I know this is a prediction, very 214 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: likely to be some candidates, at least one or two 215 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: I could think of, who will say there's something wrong here. 216 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: They may demand already had it right, They've already said O, 217 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: while he's already said and we'll get lawsuits too, by 218 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: the way, but we don't even have the end result yet. 219 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: You can imagine right now just people that are saying 220 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: this to they're angling for positioning muddy up the waters. 221 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: But when someone loses. I have a feeling that Mile 222 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Wiley in particular, if we're really going to take a 223 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: guess here, although you know, we could see Katherine Garcia 224 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: may decide to say some stuff too, they're going to 225 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: say that they don't really think this was conducted in 226 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: the way that we can all have full faith in 227 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: the process. And I assure you the people that have 228 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: thought you are never allowed to question an election because 229 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: there are Democrats, of course, and who tell you that 230 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: this election in twenty twenty was truly beyond criticism because 231 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: it was so perfect. We had a very special kind 232 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: of election with all sorts of tricks and changes, the 233 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: last minute, enormous expansions of mail in voting changes in 234 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: states like Pennsylvania to even how long you could vote, 235 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: and the requirements and signature match issues. All of this. 236 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: If you even want to know a little more about that, 237 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: clay you're an American. That's that's what they believe. Except 238 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: in this election that it's going to be fine. Well, 239 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: and not only that, Buck, and we need to talk 240 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: about this and we come back, we are going to 241 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: have a massive, massive mess related to race, related to gender, 242 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, identity politics, civil war is officially potentially 243 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: going to blow up in a massive magnitude here as 244 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: these New York primary electoral votes come back as we 245 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: look at who's going to be the actual nominee. So, 246 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: you know, we just talked about this because it happens 247 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: you get suppressed as a conservative on social media, you 248 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: know that they'll kick you off, they'll suspend you because 249 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: big tech is controlled by leftists and they are dogmatic, 250 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: they believe an orthodoxy. Well, why you want to give 251 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: big tech companies all your personal data? Just keep doing that, right, 252 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: That's not a good idea. Now is the time to 253 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: take a stand. You can protect your personal data from 254 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: big tech with the VPN that I trust and use 255 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: for my online protection. Same thing with Clay. We use 256 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: Express VPN because every device you're on, your laptop, your 257 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: phone has an IP address, So when you search for stuff, 258 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: when you click on a video, anything you do, you're 259 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: tracked by that IP address. When I use Express VPN, 260 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: my connection gets rerated through their secure encrypted server, so 261 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: Big Tech can't track my IP address the same way. 262 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: And it's so easy to use. It's just an app. 263 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: You download it to your phone or your laptop, you 264 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: sent it up and you are protected. Indeed, you're protected, 265 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: and you can protect your Internet activity. We just called 266 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson talking about the fact that he feels like 267 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: the NSA's checking out what he's doing. How many people 268 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: out there are being spied upon, tracked in ways that 269 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: make you uncomfortable a lot. That's why you need VPN. 270 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: Visit Express vpn dot Com Slash Clay and Buck to 271 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: get three extra months free on a one year package. 272 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: That's Express vpn dot Com Slash Clay and Buck three 273 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: extra months free, one more time Express vpn dot Com 274 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: slash Clay and Buck.

The Clay Travis and 276 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show on the EiV Network Welcome Back in 277 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I am Clay Travis, and 278 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: we are talking about democratic hypocrisy as it pertains to 279 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: the New York City mayoral race and what is allowed 280 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: to be said and We're going to continue that. But 281 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: speaking of hypocrisy, we wanted to make sure that you 282 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: heard this. This is an incredible montage of Democrats now 283 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: trying to argue. They're trying to say, now, we never 284 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: said defund the police. We were never in favor of 285 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: it at all except we got some receipts. Enjoy. I 286 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: am for defunding the police. Yes, I support the defund movement. 287 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: Why is the word defund? Why is the word defund? 288 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: And it's like, this is the word that's coming from 289 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: the street. Many abceluent suburbs, suburbs have essentially already begun 290 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: pursuing a defunding of the police in that they fund schools. 291 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: Not only do we need to disinvest forrin police, but 292 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: we need to completely dismant to the Minneapolis Police department. 293 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: The Minneapolis Police Department is rotten to the roots. Defund 294 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: the police does not mean abolish the police. It means 295 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: a dramatic reduction in the number of police in our 296 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: poor communities. Police are the terrorizing black and brown communities. 297 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: The evidence is clear across the country, Claire, I have 298 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: to throw this in there too. I remember I said 299 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 1: this to you yesterday. You just have to. It's amazing. 300 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: June twelve, twenty twenty, almost exactly a year ago, big 301 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: opinion piece New York Times, Yes we mean literally abolished. 302 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: I saw that you say that. That is an amazing argument, 303 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: because some people were saying, like, oh, you're not really 304 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: saying that you want to do away with the police. 305 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: No, no no, No, That big editorial was, yes, we mean 306 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: we want to do away. I mean, I know they 307 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: misused the term literally a lot, like I'm literally so 308 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: left wing, but no, they actually said this very clearly, repeatedly, 309 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: over and over again, that that was the plan. Yeah, 310 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. And by the way, we want to 311 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 1: tell you, not long ago we met Mike Lindell speaking 312 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: to somebody who's actually been willing to speak out the 313 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: inventor of my pillow, and actually he has been people 314 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: trying to cancel him.

And this is pretty remarkable because we 333 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: were just talking to you, I mean, I mean minutes 334 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: ago about the biggest story on the New York Times, 335 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: which was New York Times website. And I know, but 336 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: Clay and I we peek behind enemy lines to see 337 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: what the leftists are up to. We gotta know, right, 338 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: I mean the New York Times Washington Post. It's like 339 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: the opposition is laying out the battle plan for you 340 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: to read. You can see the propaganda being churned out 341 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: in real time. But this was amazing. We were talking 342 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: about the New York City mayoral race and the change 343 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: last twenty four hours, one hundred and thirty five thousand 344 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: votes counted. That shouldn't be. Now you get people saying, oh, 345 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: there's something wrong here, there's an irregularity and the difference 346 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: in the way this is being treated by the media. 347 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: And suddenly at the New York Times website, guess what 348 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: ends up happening. The story changed. The main story right 349 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: now is Days of Rage, an investigation of how a 350 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: mob stormed the Capitol. I mean, it's all about the 351 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: January sixth insurrection. This is a fixation for the left 352 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: and for Democrats. Now it's a news story on literally 353 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: any day. They can push it and it gives them 354 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: so much of what they want, because this is meant 355 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: to create a perception that the right is at any 356 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: moment a threat to this entire country, to our democracy. 357 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: Clay and I even have from ABC News and this 358 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: was just from well from this morning, perfect storm. They 359 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: call it a bulletin warrens of extremist violence as pandemic 360 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: restrictions lift. Major story here on ABC News. Clay, what 361 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: extremist violence going into our Independence Day celebration. Are the 362 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: biggest news organizations in the country worried about This is 363 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: to me a flagrant example of choosing narrative over truth, 364 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: and there's a difference out there for people who are listening. 365 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: Very often. What our media does today, and this is 366 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: what we pledge not to do for you, is we 367 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: try to be as honest as we can about the 368 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: news stories on any given day. The threat as we 369 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: head into the July fourth weekend and Joe Biden's gonna 370 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: let you have all your barbecues again and you can 371 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: gather with friends and family, is not violent white extremism 372 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: or white supremacy. It's getting shot because the police aren't 373 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: able to protect you. And do you know who is 374 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: doing the shootings and who is the victims of the 375 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: shootings all over this country as our national crime wave 376 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: is skyrocketing inner city residents buck black lives are supposed 377 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: to matter so much the elites of the Democratic Party 378 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: used Black Lives Matter to gin up outrage and turn out. 379 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: As soon as the election is over, they vanished. The 380 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: media is not covering this in the grand scheme of things. 381 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: As the murder rate skyrockets all over this country. The 382 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: threat over July fourth weekend is not the quote insurrection 383 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: from January sixth. It's all the bad guys with guns 384 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: who aren't being pursued by police now. And isn't it 385 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: fascinating you see how this is being manufactured by the 386 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: corporate And I will say I have some friends and 387 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: conservative media that I've convinced stop. I don't like this 388 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: term mainstream media, Yeah, because why give them that? Why 389 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: give them that elevation? Mainstream they're left wing propaganda organs. Yes, 390 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: they're corporate. A lot of them have legacy power and 391 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: their institutions that sometimes unfortunately have a lot of funding 392 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: and reporters they can deploy as little partisan propagandists. But 393 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: the legacy corporate media is in real time here as 394 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: we're going into the Independence Day weekend, trying to create 395 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: a perception. I mean, the number one story on the 396 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: New York Times, which is I think the number one 397 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: or two most read news site in the country overall, 398 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: it's it's usually the top three something like that. The 399 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: number one story is the insurrection. I mean it's June 400 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, almost July, and they're talking about 401 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: this like it just happened yesterday. But this ABC News, 402 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: this ABC News piece play the bulletin warning of extremist violence, 403 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: and at the bottom it makes it i'd explicit that 404 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: the problem is white supremacist violence. You see all these 405 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: pieces coming together. I'm here to tell everybody. I used 406 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: to write terrorism assessments and analysis for the government and 407 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: at the highest level. I used to write for the 408 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: PDB for the President's Daily Briefing when I was in 409 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: the CIA, And this is part of the job. If 410 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: you want to find threat reporting on any given day 411 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: to talk about some white nationalist plot, yeah, you can 412 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: find chatter somewhere on the internet. It's all about what's elevated, 413 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: focused on, and exaggerated to create a certain perception of 414 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: who's the good political party in this country, who's the 415 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: bad political It's all narrative based. And I think you 416 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: raised a good point because you said, hey, we're looking 417 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: at the New York Times. I think if you're an 418 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: intelligent consumer of media, I think you need to read everything. 419 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: And I understand some people who say, oh, I want 420 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: to sit in my silo and I only want to 421 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: read things that confirm what I already believe. I disagree 422 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: with that. I think you need to read aggressively because 423 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: it allows you to see how agendas grow and how 424 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: narratives are set. And I'm old school. People make fun 425 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: of me about this. My wife makes fun of me 426 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: about this. I still like to read Buck, a tangible newspaper. 427 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: Every morning, I get the New York Times. You've seen me, 428 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: I bringing my dad by the way. I can't even 429 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: handle them. That's what my wife, he says, to turn 430 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: the pages. My wife gets frustrated. Expertise was flipping all 431 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: the pages around. If it's not on a screen that 432 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: I can click on, I don't even know how you 433 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: can read it well. I bring in literally the Wall 434 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: Street Journal or the New York Times, because I want 435 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: to point out some of the editorials that are being 436 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: used to drive narrative. And I think I'm a subscriber 437 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: to the Washington Post, and I understand people get fired 438 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: up and angry about the work that these places do. 439 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: But to me, you can't see the big picture unless 440 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: you're reading the entire scope of the media universe. And 441 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: it actually, to me, exposes the dishonesty even more so Buck, 442 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: because what it shows ows you is the selection of 443 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: the way stories are conveyed. No, I'll give you an example. Recently. 444 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: You live in New York City, where there have been 445 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: a massive number, at least historically precedent wise, of Asian attacks. Right, 446 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: we all had the big discussion about Asian hate and 447 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: people who were innocent Asian people walking on the streets 448 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: that were attacked almost uniformly, who were attacking the Asian 449 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: people black guys almost one hundred percent of the time. 450 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: The way that The New York Times would cover those 451 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: Asian attacks was to leave out the race of the 452 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: alleged perpetrator. Every time that a white person is accused 453 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: of anything that fits the narrative of the New York Times, 454 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: the opening paragraph features the white person's race. One of 455 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: the most virulent of those attacks buck against an Asian woman. 456 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: It didn't even include the suspect description. It said New 457 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: York police are requesting help in identifying and locating the suspect, 458 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 1: and there was no description of who the suspect was 459 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: or what his race was. This is a targeted attempt 460 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: to make violent white supremacy seem like it is the 461 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: biggest issue in America today because they want to tie 462 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: that to the Republican Party, and because they may want 463 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: to make everybody look like they are completely off the rails. 464 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: It's not new. What we're seeing and what Play describes 465 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: here is what is happening with the media's change, the 466 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: media's focus on certain things to create a certain narrative, 467 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: because one of the biggest editorial decisions you make is 468 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: what to talk about, what to focus on, more so 469 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: even than how you will portray it. But then additionally, 470 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: things like leaving out the descriptions of suspects. New York 471 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: has a local TV channel that's only New York Local Politics, 472 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: and it might it's basically Pravda on the Hudson. I mean, 473 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: it's crazy how left wing it is, and it really 474 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: is just you know, radical Marxist socialist claptrap on a 475 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: daily basis. But whenever they will describe a suspect, for example, 476 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: they will say, you know, five foot ten mail one 477 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five pounds, but there'll be a photo 478 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: that you can see. Sometimes NYPD will release it, but 479 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: they will avoid any actual description of the suspect because 480 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: they think that that plays into stereotypes or whatever it 481 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: may be. But just I think that there were some 482 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: in recent years. There were some moments where we saw 483 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: and just to bring everybody back into exactly where we 484 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: are here in the New York Times. Main story for 485 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: all of you today across the country. Now, I know 486 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: a lot of you don't read the Times, but Clay 487 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: and I have to, we have to dive deep into 488 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: the into the commun nonsense. Their main stories on the 489 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: January sixth insurrection, which was not an insurrection. It's a 490 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: lie to call it an insurrection. It was a riot. 491 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: It was not an insurrection. But that's their main story 492 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: we had in recent years, the total abandonment I do 493 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: only of objectivity, but also rationality by the medium we're 494 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: talking about, uh suspects here on the way that that 495 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: racial politics gets involved in all this. I knew a 496 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: lot of mainstream journalists who believed and fought to the 497 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: very end the Jesse Smollett story and show oh yeah. 498 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: And I actually had people Harris of course, immediately believed it. 499 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: And I had people reach out to me who know 500 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: me from the media world, you know, blue checks, fellow 501 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: media people from the left who were saying, you're you're 502 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, you're lighting your career on fire because I 503 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: mean I did a podcast within twenty four hours. I 504 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: think of the initial allegation, and it was Jesse Smollett 505 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: is lying. Yes, that was and and you know you 506 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: knew it. I knew it. Anyone who looked at the 507 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: details of that situation would understand it. But here's where 508 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: we are in this country at this point in time. 509 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: To be a leftist in good standing, you have to 510 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: adopt the expected orthodoxy on these issues, even if it 511 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: makes you look like a moron, even if it makes 512 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: it look like you don't have the critical faculties to 513 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: think through these things. Doesn't matter. That is the sacrifice 514 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,719 Speaker 1: you have to be willing to make. I mean, look 515 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: at there. There are so many of these hoax situations, 516 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: hoax hate crimes that come up because if you question it, Buck, 517 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: you're racist. Well, of course, right, that's the And we 518 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: saw this in sports all the time.

You know, they have one hundred and 522 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: twenty cameras everywhere. It's not true. But when people actually 523 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: covered that story, they don't cover the follow up, it's 524 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: an absolute joke.

But if you want to 564 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: write your own narrative and irrelevant to what I'm going 565 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: to say and what the facts are. Then we'll just 566 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: move on to the next reporter. Welcome back to the 567 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. There he had the 568 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: mayor of Chicago, who I think makes it in the 569 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: top five worst mayors in the Countryman, I usually tough 570 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: list it is. I mean, you get billed to Blasio 571 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: and it seems like how could anyone beat that guy? 572 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, Commie de Blasio is among the very worst. 573 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: But then there's Ted Wheeler in Portland who just bends 574 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: over backwards for actual Antifa. I mean, there's some really 575 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: bad mayors, but lor Lifeoot's a very bad mayor. And 576 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: just to be clear, this is from NBC News Chicago. 577 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: Over the course of twenty twenty compared to twenty nineteen, 578 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: they had a fifty percent plus increase in shootings and murders. 579 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: And that's for a city that already had far too 580 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: many shootings and murders seven hundred and sixty nine murders 581 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty compared with four hundred and ninety five 582 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Remember, Chicago has what two million people, 583 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: so about a quarter of the size of New York City. 584 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: If you were to extrapolate that out, if you took 585 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: the Chicago murder rate and looked at New York, you'd say, 586 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this catastrophic. But Clay, you had some 587 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: thoughts about where the New York situation is going. Yeah, 588 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: we started off.

You search out Clay Travis buck Sexton on iTunes. 593 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: I want to continue to kick the Today Show's ass. 594 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: We have now passed them. We are the number five. 595 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: We're behind NPR in the New York Times. By the way, 596 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: I'd love to catch them at some point two for 597 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: daily news podcast listens. But where we are headed in 598 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: New York City, we already ran through all of the 599 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: quotes from Maya Wiley, which are basically the same things 600 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 1: that Rudy Giuliani said that cost him his law license 601 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: he got suspended in New York City. The hypocrisy is staggering. 602 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: But Eric Adams was going to be the second if 603 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: he wins the Democratic primary and then goes on to 604 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: get elected as the Democratic mayor. Would win the election, 605 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: he'd be the second black mayor of New York City ever. 606 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: Catherine Garcia, who right now, and we don't know exactly 607 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: what the final hally's going to because it's such a 608 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: total mess, Katherine Garcia would be the first woman mayor 609 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: of New York City. Eric Adams supporters are already saying 610 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: racism is behind Katherine Garcia's rise. Catherine Garcias supporters are 611 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 1: going to say, just wait for it, sexism is behind 612 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: attacks upon her candidacy. We are going to have two 613 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: of Democrat of the Democratic Party's identity politic laden industries, 614 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: women and black supporters are going to be going head 615 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: to head here. Which is higher on the pyramid of 616 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: victimization in the failure of the New York City Democratic primary? 617 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: Is that the black man Eric Adams who is the victim? 618 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: Or is that the white woman Katherine Garcia. And they're 619 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: both going to be I guarantee you this is where 620 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: we're headed. Their surrogates are going to be levying sexism 621 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: and racism allegations back and forth over who is going 622 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: to win this primary. Just wait and it's just the 623 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: problem of intersectionality. The left belief that everything is just 624 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: interlocking oppression. Right, that's what the whole that's American society 625 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: is defined. That's what intersectionality, which is part of the 626 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: generally what people would say is inclusive in that critical 627 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: race theory area. But intersectionality means that you got to 628 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: look at this and say, how do Democrats come down. 629 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: Are they supporting the black candidate who's pro police, or 630 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: are they supporting the female candidate who wants to defund 631 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: They gotta try to It's a permid you know, who's 632 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,439 Speaker 1: the one that is the who's the victim back who's 633 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: the victim? Who's the left backing here? It's not clear. 634 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: It's not going to be an easy decision. And that's 635 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: where we're headed. By the way top of the second hour, 636 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: we are going to go into this story, Nancy Pelosi. 637 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: They are trying to remove statues of Confederate officials and 638 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: what they say are other racist white supremacists. I'm fired 639 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: up about this story. I'm gonna explore plane why it's 640 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: all complete bunk when we come back in the second 641 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: hour of our show,
