1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay, Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Third hour of Clay and Buck starts

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: right now. Everybody, thanks for being here with us. We

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: had just mentioned at the end of the last hour

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: this breaking news story that I think is going to

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: certainly be factored into the discussion underway about law enforcement,

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: although I don't now that we have more of the details,

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: it isn't going to be I think in an inciting

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: incident of the likes we have seen in other police

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: involved shootings or police involved use of force. Obviously Tyree

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: Nichols and that abuse of police power has got everybody

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: very focused on the issue right now across the country,

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: but as Clay was pointing out, less focused than they

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: would be certainly from the media and Democrat Party perspective,

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: because all five of the officers involved in the fatal

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: beating of Tyree Nichols were black. In California police and

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: this is on video and we can link to the

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Dailymail story on Clanbuck dot com so you can easily

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: see it on California an individual there are two cops

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: who are following a double amputee, So I mean the

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: visual is is very look, it's it's very upset a,

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: it's very troubling. This this double amputee is trying to

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: run away and you know, he's missing his legs from

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: below the knee, and he has a butcher knife in

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: his hand. And the report is that he stabs someone,

26
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: although there was no further information on who he stabbed,

27
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: and then was trying to get away from police in

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: his wheelchair and turns around with this butcher knife in

29
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: his hand. The cops say that they were afraid he

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: was going to throw the knife at them, and they

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: opened fire and they killed this man who had a

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: butcher knife in his hand. It is also in the

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: story that Anthony Lowe Junior, he's a thirty six year old.

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: The whole story's very it's just it's very sad. He's

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: a father of two. It is also in the story

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: that he lost his limbs, and there's no further information

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: on the specifics from a previous encounter with law enforcement.

38
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know this is I'm just going by

39
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: what's reported in the Daily Mail here, but it seems

40
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: this may be an individual based on the history and

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: based on this exchange here in the streets, who is

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: deeply psychologically troubled and a danger to people. That's when

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: you're going around stabbing people with a butcher knife. So

44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: I think that Clay. So far the police use of

45
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: force here. Law enforcement seems to be in Huntington Park, California,

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: seemed to be standing behind this incident. It's under investigation.

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at it. But this isn't in the

48
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: same category of use of force certainly, certainly anywhere near

49
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: what we saw with with Tyree Nichols. Because there is

50
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: a threat. He did stab somebody. He wasn't complying. He

51
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: turned with the knife. But he's on. I mean, I

52
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: don't know what the particular terminology is, but he's basically

53
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: running away on on. You know, Uh, he's disabling. He

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: does make a motion and look and I'm watching the

55
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: video too, and we'll see whether this turns into a

56
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: larger issue. The knife is a big knife, right, I mean,

57
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: this is like, uh, this is like booie knife. It's

58
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: not like it's a it's a large butcher knife or

59
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: like a chef's kitchen knife. It's big and razors and

60
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, you can tell it's a big sharp knife. Yes,

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: he's already stabbed someone. And in the in the video

62
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: as you watch it, he makes a motion with he's

63
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: carrying it, I think in his and what would be

64
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: his right hand, and he kind of turns as if

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: he is going to throw that knife, which is when

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the police officers start to pull their weapons. So I

67
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: understand it's up on the uh, it's up on the

68
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: front page to Daily Mail. You can watch you can

69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: watch that video yourself and stuff. And the headline is

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: killed on his stumps, is what the headline is that

71
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: they have right now. And so that's where I think

72
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: there's going to be an emotional response to this. But

73
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: clearly this guy is is uh, you know, emotionally psychologically

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: on well, well he was, he's he passed away after

75
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: being shot by these officers. He did not survive that

76
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: that exchange. But you know, Clay, this is where you

77
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: know you're seeing an incident here where this you know,

78
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: cops have to deal with very difficult stuff day to day.

79
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, you're dealing with somebody who stab people, who

80
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: has previous previous violent encounter with law enforcement. We don't

81
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: have details on it yet, who's not complying, who has

82
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: a you know, anybody who understands. You know, it's a

83
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: little bit different in this case because this individual has

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: a has a disability, But anybody who understands edge weapons

85
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: knows if if you are within twenty feet of somebody

86
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: and you have an edge weapon, the chances are you'll

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: be able to stab them, even if they have a gun.

88
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: So you know, and that's how they train you in

89
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: law enforcements, how they train this in the CIA, even

90
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: you have to keep a perimeter of twenty feet because

91
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: within that twenty feet, if somebody has an edge weapon,

92
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: even if you shoot them, they're likely to be able

93
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: to get that knife and bury it into you somewhere.

94
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: So and if you have it holstered by the way,

95
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: they'll probably stab you before you can even get a

96
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: shot off. But cops are dealing with this stuff all

97
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: the time in Clay that you know, people talk about

98
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: the mental health issue and it's almost as though it's

99
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: a throwaway. There is a lot, you know, in the

100
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: context of law enforcement and what we can do. There's

101
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: a huge correlation between the drug abuse epidemic that's getting

102
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: worse all the time, specifically fental but meth also methamphetamine

103
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: and schizophrenia are very closely tied together, or or creating

104
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: situations of exacerbating existing mental health issues. And I view

105
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: these issues as all tied in, you know, And I

106
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: think law enforcements having to deal with an epidemic not

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: just of drug use, but of extreme mental health issues

108
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: that put people at risks at risk day in and

109
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: day out. Well, we saw the Paul Pelosi video. What

110
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: how quickly a near death experience could happen in that

111
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: situation For those of you who watched it when it

112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: finally came out on Friday, we talked about it during

113
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: the show Friday as that video was released. How quickly

114
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: the guy hit, even with police officers there, pulled, pulled

115
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: that hammer and hit the individual in the head. So again,

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: I think it is so imperative to have experienced what

117
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: police have to experience at some point in your life

118
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: before you actually render judgment. And I've said this for

119
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: a long time. I think every lawyer who was doing

120
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: anything in the criminal law system or even contemplating it,

121
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: should do a ride along with a cop on a

122
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: night right, just see what the average things they have

123
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: to deal with are, right, Because whenever one of these

124
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: viral videos comes out, and I think This is important

125
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: because certainly Twitter and social media in general amplify these

126
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: viral videos and doesn't mean that cops don't sometimes misbehave

127
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: certainly look at Tyree Nichols. But when you are able

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: to see the full context of a interaction and know

129
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: how it ends, it is a very different situation than

130
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: being in the middle of that event yourself and not

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: having an idea how it ends. So when I watch

132
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: this video that is up on the Daily Mail now

133
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: of this individual getting shot, he's got a massive butcher

134
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: knife and he makes a motion as if he is

135
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: going to throw that knife in the direction of the officers.

136
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: When you have already stabbed someone and you are holding

137
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: a massive butcher knife knife and you refuse demands from

138
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: all officers to drop the butcher knife, I don't have

139
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: any I don't have any judgment at all for an

140
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: officer who decides that they have to shoot you no

141
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: matter who you are, right, I mean, because to your point, Buck,

142
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: if you throw that massive butcher knife like you could

143
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: kill someone with it, and you're clearly refusing to accept

144
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: officer demands after already having assaulted someone, so they know

145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: that you're violent and willing to use that weapon, and

146
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: I just think that we ask in a lot of cases,

147
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: we ask so much of cops. Look, let's put aside

148
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: for a second the Tyree Nickel situation that is fortunately rare,

149
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: where it's just cops who are acting well outside of

150
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: the boundaries of the law and decency. That the reality,

151
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: by the numbers day in and day out of law

152
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: enforcement across the country is they are put in very

153
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: difficult situations and they're often really used used as a

154
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: frontline mechanism to deal with extreme substance abuse, extreme mental

155
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: health issues. You know, people who have suffered tremendous abuse

156
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: themselves throughout their lives and now they're adults, and now

157
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: certain patterns are set, behaviors, a tendency to violence, and

158
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are supposed to just make everything okay,

159
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: and if they don't do it perfectly, we jump on

160
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: them right away. Again, I'm not talking about the extreme

161
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: crossing of the line. I'm talking about what is actually

162
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: regularly happening, which is cops in very difficult circumstances being

163
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: asked to do a lot and to do so perfectly.

164
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: This is also why you know there are people that

165
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: go around or they do this. They like to get

166
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: into these filming police officers to see if they actually

167
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: know whether they can ask for idea or not. It's

168
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: very minor stuff, but they're basically trying to show that,

169
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, the cops aren't as constitutionally literate, perhaps as

170
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: some folks them to be on very minor on the

171
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: very basic issue of can you ask me for ID

172
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: or not? Have I committed a crime or not? And

173
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: they go down the list. You know, cops are under

174
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: a lot of stress, a lot of strain, especially at

175
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: high crime you know. Look, I'm not talking about somebody

176
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: who's in a place where they haven't had a murder

177
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: in ten years or something, right, I mean that's a

178
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: different situation, but in major cities or in high crime areas,

179
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: and I mean I know that these two officers you've

180
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: seen this on this video, there was no part of

181
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: them that showed up to work thinking that they would

182
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: be in a position where they would have to choose

183
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: whether or not they were going to shoot a double

184
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: amputee in broad daylight on video who was running down

185
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: the street with a butcher knife, you know, And there

186
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: was no part of them that I can assure you

187
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: afterwards thought anything other than what a horrible situation this is.

188
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: People forget I mean, if you have if the cops

189
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: end up using their service weapon in their jobs, they're

190
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: going to go to mental health counseling there. You know,

191
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: this is something that stayed even in a justified shooting.

192
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: It will stay with those officers. There's the rest of

193
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: their lives. You know, even if you had no choice.

194
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: It can be a traumatic experience for the officer as well.

195
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: And I just think that with a wide open border,

196
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: the flood of the streets, flood on the streets of

197
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: fentanyl and meth and what that does. So much of

198
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: the homelessness problem play is tied directly to drug abuse.

199
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: The drug abuse problem is tied directly to the spiraling criminality.

200
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: The mental health crisis that I think you're seeing in

201
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: cities across the country is tied to both the drug

202
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: abuse and the criminality that comes from it. And then

203
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: we throw cops out there in these cities, we say

204
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: fix it, you fix it, you deal with it. Who

205
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: else is dealing with it? I know there are some

206
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: nonprofits and things that are trying, but they're not called

207
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: in when the guy's waving the butcher knife around also

208
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: Buck and I think this ties in with the five

209
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: cops in Memphis. Who's willing to even do this job now?

210
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: I don't think we talk enough about the number of

211
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: guys out there and girls who are listening to us

212
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: right now, who might have had twenty years in the police,

213
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: and after George Floyd, they were thinking about retirement twenty

214
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: five years, they said I'm out. I'm not dealing with

215
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: this anymore, the lack of respect, the danger that I face,

216
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,479
Speaker 1: So they tap out these every one of these communities. Minneapolis,

217
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: I think is one of the hardest hit is having

218
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: a massive amount of experienced police that are saying I

219
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: can't do this anymore. And who are the people that

220
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: are willing to take these jobs? You don't get paid

221
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: a great amount right, You have your life under danger

222
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: every single day. You aren't particularly well respected in many

223
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: parts of the community you serve, and if you make

224
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: a split second error in judgment during the course of

225
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: your policing, you're getting examined with a fine tooth comb

226
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: and you may go to prison for the rest of

227
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: your life. How many people want to sign up for

228
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: that job? I don't be honest with you, there's no

229
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: part of me that would be willing to be a

230
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: cop right now. I appreciate and respect everybody who is.

231
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: But how many people out there and that are twenty

232
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: years old are thinking, hey, I want to be a

233
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: cop right now? I bet fewer than has ever existed

234
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: in any of our lives. And so you're getting a

235
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: pool of candidates that is probably weaker, which is going

236
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: to lead to a worse performance on the job probably

237
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: and poorer relations in the community, which becomes a self

238
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: fulfilling cycle. That's where I feel like we are. And

239
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: the more we demean this job, the more difficult it becomes,

240
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: and the worse the candidates who are willing to do it.

241
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, Heather McDonald who wrote The War on Cops. Yeah,

242
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: and we should have her on because there's some if

243
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: you want to look at data and you want to

244
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: understand what's really happening. I think she's an excellent and

245
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: fearless which is necessary on these topics because remember, you

246
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: have to be willing if this is about saving lives.

247
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: So to make real change happen here for the better,

248
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and to save lives, you have to to say things

249
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: that care more about the lives saved, and the disproportionate

250
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: number of black lives that will be saved by better

251
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: policies rooted in reality than the sensibilities of the left

252
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party set on a podcast or about

253
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: a year ago, she said, there's a study done under

254
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: the Obama administration in Philadelphia that found that black and

255
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: Hispanic officers have a higher rate of what is called

256
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: threat misperception, which means an officer mistake somebody's cell phone

257
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: for a gun and shoots. So the push this is

258
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: a quote, the push to diversify forces at the expense

259
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: of some standards of recruiting is insane end quote. And

260
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: she's saying it's effectively. The push to diversify police at

261
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: the expense of skill set in any or you know of,

262
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: of ability in any way can result in more violence,

263
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: actually more violence that is outside. So promoting people above

264
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: their schools their skill set isn't just a problem of

265
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's administer. Yeah, my friends out there who like

266
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: to spend time at the gun range, let me tell

267
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: you amo super expensive. You already know that. I mean

268
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: you look at it price per round. Amos as expensive

269
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: as eggs these days. That means it's tough to keep

270
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: your skills sharp without breaking the bank. But there's a

271
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: new way to train without all that expense. It's a

272
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: great way to keep your skills sharp. It's called the

00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,640

292
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: Welcome in Clay Travis, buck Sexton Show. Buck Victoria Azarenko.

293
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert in women's tennis, but she made

294
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: the semifinals down in Australia and she gave one of

295
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: the best answers I have seen any pro athlete give

296
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: when they were trying to ask her about Ukraine and Russia. Listen,

297
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: does it frustrate you that, yeah? Particularly last night for example,

298
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: it was a clear sort of pro Russian demonstration happening

299
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: within the grounds of the tournament, that these people are

300
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: coming and using the Australian Open as a platform for

301
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: these kind of demonstrations. So whatever the answer, I'm going

302
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: to give it to you right now, it's going to

303
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: be turned whichever way you want to turn it to.

304
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: And I don't know. Are you covering politics? Yes, And

305
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm an athlete and you're asking me about things that

306
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: maybe somebody says are in my control, but I don't

307
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: believe that. So I don't know what you want me

308
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: to answer. And if it's a provocative question, then you

309
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: know you can spin the story however you want. That's perfect.

310
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, she's totally right in how

311
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: she handled it from multiple perspectives. One is I don't

312
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: care what she thinks about that. She's a tennis player. Yes,

313
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: they should be asking her about tennis. They should not

314
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: be asking about geopolitics. This is a perfect example of

315
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: athletes starting to understand that a lot of sports media.

316
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: And she's doing a press conference there right after a

317
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: tennis match, and she gets asked about Ukraine, Russia and whatever.

318
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: She says, She's right, the writer is going to spin

319
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: it the way that they want. I just love that answer.

320
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: I wish more athletes would give it. Small business owners

321
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: are finally getting a break they deserve. If your business

337
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines. So we've

338
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: seen a number of states start to take action on

339
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: the issue of what the left calls gender affirming care

340
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: for youth, but what I think is more properly called

341
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: transgender hormone and surgeries for adolescence and for kids. And

342
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: so this is a major issue that has gotten a

343
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: lot of attention in the last year or so. Some

344
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: folks have done very good work in raising this because

345
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: it's gone through the usual cycle. When their left knows

346
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: they're doing something that isn't going to play well with

347
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: a majority of the American people, perhaps even seventy or

348
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the American people, they always start out

349
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: by saying that's not really happening. Why are you so

350
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: focused on that? And then when it's clear it is happening,

351
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: they say, why are you such a bigot? Why are

352
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: you even talking about this issue? You have to think

353
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: of it the way that we want you to. And

354
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: so they've done that with transgender surgery for kids. You know,

355
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: out in Utah, the governor there just signed signed a

356
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: bill putting put on his desk. This is Governor Spencer

357
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: Cox that will ban youth. This is from the PBS

358
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: write up of this Clay from receiving gender affirming healthcare.

359
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: That's the way they're they're presenting this now. Really, what

360
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: it will do is at least try to apply the

361
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: breaks a little bit to giving teenagers twelve, thirteen, fourteen

362
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: years old hormone blockers and perhaps even engage in, or

363
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: or be given surgery that is supposed to change their

364
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: their gender. And you know, I was really really remarkable.

365
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: I saw this and I wanted everyone to hear it.

366
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: It was Jordan Peterson, who everyone knows Jordan Peterson. He

367
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: does very very good work. He's with the Daily Wire.

368
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Now here he is Clay talking about something we discussed

369
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: on the show, which was back in the Disney v.

370
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: Dis Santis throwdown era, there was that Disney executive who

371
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: spoke about having a transgender child and a separately, a

372
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: pan sexual child. This is what she was talking about.

373
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: This is the head of creative content at Disney and

374
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: one of the most storied content companies in all history,

375
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: if not the most. And this is how Jordan Peterson

376
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: did his analysis of that. By the numbers, listen, the

377
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: chance you have a trans kit is one in three thousand,

378
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: and let's say the chance that you have pan sexual

379
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: kid is the same. So the joint probability that you

380
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: have a trans kid and a pan sexual kid is

381
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: one in nine million. The odds that you're a pathological

382
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: narcissist sacrificing your own children to the glorification of your

383
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: compassion is eight million, nine hundred ninety nine, nine hundred

384
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: ninety nine to one. So like, do you have a

385
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: trans kit in a pants sexual kid or are you

386
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: a devouring mother? I think you held to play so

387
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: well said, it is amazing how often the most far

388
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: left wing, inclusive and I'm putting it in quotation marks

389
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: people end up with kids like this. And I think

390
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 1: I've said this on the show before, but one, you

391
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: can't get a tattoo in most states under the age

392
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: of eighteen. That's because we decide that you are not

393
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: of sound enough mind to decide to get a tattoo.

394
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: How in the world can it be permissible to have

395
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 1: gender reassignment surgery before you're eighteen. We won't even let

396
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: you get a barbed wire tattoo legally on your arm,

397
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: And we're gonna let someone chop off your genitals, chop

398
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: off your breast before the age of eighteen. I mean,

399
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: that's madness. It's child abuse, and that should be the

400
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: law of the land everywhere. And I give credit to

401
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: Spencer Coxon, Utah, the governor there, for signing this, but

402
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: this should be a law that every Republican governor in

403
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: the country should sign. It's not remotely controversial. Also, if

404
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: you are out there arguing that your child is gender

405
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: non binary and they are six or seven years old

406
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: or even younger, that's child abuse too. No six year

407
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: old knows what gender they are in terms of wanting

408
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: to flip their gender. And my wife pointed this out,

409
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: but I think it's important we don't let six year

410
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: olds pick their own meals because if they could, they

411
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: would eat birthday cake for every meal. Doesn't sound awful,

412
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: by the way, and for a six year old, it

413
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: sounds downright delectable. So if we don't let a six

414
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: year old choose every meal they eat, and anyone who

415
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: has raised a six year old knows that experience of saying,

416
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: before you can eat, so you've got to finish. Why

417
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: it's a huge part of parenting. How can anyone justify

418
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: this idea that a child should be able to pick

419
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: their gender. It's not coming from the kid, it's coming

420
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: from the parent who wants to feel special and inclusive.

421
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Peterson absolutely nailed that. And it's the

422
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: fact that that Disney executive can brag to all of

423
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: the other people in Los Angeles about how inclusive she

424
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: is because her family is so is so inclusive itself.

425
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what is pan sexual mean, buck,

426
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: You're attracted to everything. Yes, every literally will sleep with anyone.

427
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: And that's a different than bisexual how because it includes

428
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: intersex people. Bisexual, I believe relies on a gender normativity

429
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: of cis gender individuals, whereas if you're pan sexually will

430
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: also include in your pen sexuality the possibility of an

431
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: intersex individual who is nonsius gender. You like that, everybody,

432
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: That's how it goes. That's a really your ability to

433
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: know all this is both impressive and troubling simultaneously. And

434
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: I can't even keep up with all this terminology and

435
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: uh and and but but in all honesty, like who cares? Right?

436
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: Like why is this? Why is this in any way?

437
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: And obsession of the left? I think the answer is

438
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: because there's so little else to fight for at this

439
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: point that they just have to make up stuff. It's

440
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: it's all just really, I think, by and large, people

441
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: who are very disturbed mentally and unhappy, and they think

442
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: if they make a dramatic change in their life that

443
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: it's somehow going to cure the deep well of darkness

444
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: that they fill inside them. And I hate to have

445
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: to say that, but doesn't it feel that way that

446
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: there's this idea if you're sixteen years old or fourteen

447
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: years old, and you feel unhappy and unhealthy in your body,

448
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: and that's totally common for many different adolescents out there,

449
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: they feel as if they have to undertake some sort

450
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: of radical transformation in order to attain happiness. And I

451
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: feel almost certain that after this radical transformation in their lives,

452
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: they don't feel very much different at all. And that,

453
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: to me is the ultimate tragedy of this is that's

454
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: what they've convinced themselves. And there's a cottage industry of

455
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: people trying to tell them it's not normal to be

456
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: uncomfortable when you're an adolescent. This will fix it, and

457
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: most of the time it's a lie. And also, you

458
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: don't have to be an expert to know when people

459
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: are lying to you. You can just think, get through

460
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: critically and come to the proper conclusion, which is that

461
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: something is wrong in a situation that is outside of

462
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: what would be your your expertise as an I don't

463
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: have to be a doctor to know that. When I

464
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: was thinking about having effectively clay an ankle reconstruction surgery

465
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: about a decade ago, it's my ankle's a total mess.

466
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: They walk me through all kinds of possibilities. We might

467
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: have to, you know, take the screws out again. It might,

468
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: you might get an infection, you might you know, all

469
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: the stuff. You know. Doctors do this with any surgery.

470
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: They're like, look, if you're gonna be under it's anesthesia.

471
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: You know it's rare, but bad things gonna they take

472
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: you through all that. You'll notice at the moment anybody says, hey,

473
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: when you have top surgery as a as a female

474
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: to become trans you're actually going you might have lifelong pain, numbness,

475
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of things you know, might might, It will

476
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: affect your your home oones. Whatever the side effects may be,

477
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: you're not even allowed to discuss. Just like we saw

478
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: what the vaccines. Is it even possible there's a side effect?

479
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: Shut up, you anti science lunatic. You're not allowed to

480
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: say that. Well as we know, of course the worst

481
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: side effects, they just suppressed them. Same thing is happening

482
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: with transgender surgery for children. What are the long term

483
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: effects of taking puberty blockers on bone density? Go through

484
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: a whole list of side effects. If you bring up

485
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: those side effects, the progressive left, the Democrat base will

486
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: say you're a bigot. That's all. Yeah, that's all you

487
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: really have to knowe or know something's up right. This

488
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: is about kids and their health and we can't even

489
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: know what the risk factors are. That's shut down. Tells

490
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: you everything. I agree, and it should be a law.

491
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm glad Utah's got it now. But this

492
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: should be the law of the land everywhere, all right. Look, families,

520
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: We haven't mentioned this on the show yet today, Bucks,

521
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: so I figured we probably should. It's good news on

522
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: some level, although it's crazy. Joe Biden yesterday evening announced

523
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: that he would be ending our COVID emergency status. I

524
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: believe on May the eleventh of twenty twenty three, so

525
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: almost three and a half years after the COVID emergency

526
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: started in late January of twenty twenty twenty twenty, if

527
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, it's hard to even remember. Now we

528
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: are getting to the point where Biden is finally willing

529
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'm not going to continue this now.

530
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: The fallout I believe of the COVID shots is just beginning,

531
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: and there was an MSNBC host and I believe we

532
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: have the audio of this. This is Yasmin and I'm

533
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna try to pronounce her name right, Yasmin Vosgian, and

534
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: I might have just gotten that wrong a little bit.

535
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: But she told viewers out there on MSNBC that she

536
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: had gotten a very severe case of myocarditis. I'm not

537
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: even sure if you've heard this yet, Buck, this was

538
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: her talking directly to the MSNBC audience from a cold.

539
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: She's had all of her COVID shots and everything else.

540
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: She said, myocarditis as well as periocarditis, all because she

541
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: had a cold. Listen. I was diagnosed with paracarditis, inflammation

542
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: of the lining of my heart, brought on by a virus,

543
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: a literal common cold. On January fourth. I was finally

544
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: discharged after doctors drained the fluid around my heart and

545
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: I bounced out of the hospitife with hopes I was

546
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: on the mend, but that was not the end. Three

547
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: days later, I was readmitted when I felt a flutter

548
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: in my heart and determined I had developed myocarditis, inflammation

549
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: of the actual heart. Now they ran a battery at test,

550
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: just my meds, and made sure nothing else was fueling

551
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: what was happening, and in fact, in the end it

552
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: was still just the cold that was doing all of this,

553
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: that had caused all of this inflammation in and around

554
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: my heart block. I don't know her particular medical diagnosis, obviously,

555
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: but doesn't it feel like there are an awful lot

556
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: of people out there who are otherwise young and healthy

557
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: suddenly having heart issues that they're blaming on things that

558
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: don't seem very likely. I mean, in my life, how

559
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: many people in your forties have you known in their

560
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: forties who are otherwise healthy? She said she was running

561
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: seven miles every other day, who suddenly get myocarditis or periocardiis.

562
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: I think we could make this even even simpler. It's

563
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: going with your question. But until the era of COVID,

564
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: who had even really honestly heard of myocarditis? Which I

565
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: do think it's fair too. Yeah, I think it's fair, right.

566
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe, Look, I'm sure there are a lot

567
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: of people the audience who are very scored away on

568
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: all things medical and doctors and so forth, But I

569
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: do think that there's something to that that we've had

570
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: to learn what myocarditis is for a reason in the

571
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: era of COVID. And I also would add to it,

572
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: Clay that the people who were supposed to be trustworthy

573
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: have destroyed the public's trust when it comes to health

574
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: and all issues related to COVID. And so when you've

575
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: destroyed all trust, they are going to be people that

576
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: take a an approach of at a minimum cynicism, if

577
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: not disbelief to their pronouncements. So the more they claim things,

578
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: for example, like you're more likely to get myocarditis from

579
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: COVID that from the vaccine, more people say, well, that's

580
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: not true. Are you saying that because they can't trust

581
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: these individuals? They just don't trust that, they don't trust

582
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: the consensus anymore. Yeah, I'm not sure there's ever been

583
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: a time where institutions were less trusted in America than

584
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: right now. And when I see that video and I

585
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: shared it, you can go watch it yourself. I wonder

586
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: how many people in the MSNBC audience even have their

587
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: ears perk up and question, wait, is this really the cause?

588
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,959
Speaker 1: Is this really what's going on? And look, I hope

589
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: things start to get better when this May eleventh date

590
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: gets here. I would point out that Joe Biden tried

591
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: to justify his student loan waivers his student loan racier,

592
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: even though it's not an a racier, it's just shifting

593
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: the debt to the American public from the individual. He

594
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: said one of the reasons why he was able to

595
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: do that was because of the COVID emergency. So is

596
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: he just acknowledging that that was a desperate ploy to

597
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: try to get young people to vote for Democrats, even

598
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: though he knew that there was no way it was

599
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: going to stand constitutionally, just like the eviction moratorium, just

600
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: like the COVID shot mandate. Think about how crazy that is, Buck.

601
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty, we entered a COVID emergency state.

602
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember there being a lot of people who

603
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: made arguments against it in January of twenty twenty. It's

604
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: taken us almost three and a half years to leave.

605
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, kids could basically have graduated from college and

606
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: been under the COVID emergency this entire time. That's indefensible.

607
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: We can't ever allow something like this to happen again.

608
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: Everybody who was saying at the beginning of the pandemic,

609
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: I would put myself in this category. I know you

610
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: would too, slow down. This is crazy, and once they

611
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: have this power, they will not want to relinquish it.

612
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: Everyone who identified the authoritarian slippery slope that COVID presented

613
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: was correct. All of it. It all happened as we

614
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: thought it would. They stretched it out, they abused the

615
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: public trust, they abused power, all of it. It happened

616
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: exactly as was anticipated. Because when you understand the nature

617
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 1: of power and how it corrupts, you understand how those

618
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: in power will use it. And there's actually right now

619
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: is laughing kind of dejectively watching some of the congressmen

620
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: and women react to this declaration on the House floor.

621
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: We are not being led by the smartest among us

622
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: and is sending us their best Clay. No. I know

623
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: that probably doesn't stun a lot of you out there,

624
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: But when the people that we are employing are as

625
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: dumb as the argument Sheila Jackson Lee just made about

626
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: COVID that I was watching, I am troubled. Like you

627
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: can agree or disagree on a lot of issues, but

628
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: we have so many dumb people that are in Congress

629
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: right now. They literally don't have the mental faculties to

630
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: be able to make legitimate arguments in an intelligent fashion.

631
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: A lot of them don't. Fortunately this show exists, though,

632
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 1: so people can hear smart stuff too,
