1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travison buck Sexton 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: hanging out with all of you. Appreciate you guys. As 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: we roll through Tuesday edition of the program, we talked 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: about the COVID madness that continues to descend upon our 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: cities across our country. One of the other wild things 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: that's going on right now is an attempt to use 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: COVID as a justification for why the overall crime rate 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: is skyrocketing all over the country. Twenty twenty, we discussed 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: with you FBI data showed nearly a thirty percent increase 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: in the overall number of murders, which was the largest 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: increase on record. Things so far in many cities are 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: not getting better. It's likely that we are going to 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: see an overall increase from that massive increase in twenty 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: twenty in twenty twenty one as well, meaning that things 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: are not going to have gotten better in many of 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: the places across the country. Why could that be occurring 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: and what is the overall impact on so many of 19 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: you all over this country? Well, this is interesting. Beverly 20 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: Hills Police Chief Mark Stainbrook is willing to actually speak 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: out of course, Beverly Hills a part of Los Angeles 22 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: where we have seen overall in the city of Los Angeles, 23 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: massive increases in crime all over California, and he says, 24 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: the police chief there did does that the reason why 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: crime is surging is because California voters have been sold 26 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: a bill of goods when it comes to criminal justice reform. 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: The California voters were sold this bill of goods that 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: these laws would reduce the criminal population in jails, but 29 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: the money that was saved would be used for job placement, 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: drug and alcohol treatment, mental illness housing, those sorts of things. 31 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: And we just haven't seen that those services on the 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: back end to reduce crime, even if that were a 33 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: good plan, Clay over the long term, which is highly debatable, 34 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: the notion that you should allow for what we've seen, 35 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: which is the loosening of the enforcement of the law 36 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: and the undermining of police simultaneously, and that that wouldn't 37 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: result in people suffering. Now, you can talk about better 38 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: services and outreach and you know, all these things, and 39 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: that's all on good by the way, that's already going 40 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: on at stunning levels in places like New York Los Angeles, 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: where there's a you know, a massive you know, social 42 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: welfare and services state and operation of bureaucracy that's, by 43 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: the way, highly inefficient and not very good at a job. 44 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: But there's already all kinds of stuff going on with 45 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: regard to that. But in the meantime, people get their 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: homes broken into, get their stuff stolen, and get clubbed 47 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: over the head in New York City here when they're 48 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: on the way to the subway. I mean, you know, crime, 49 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: all the crime that matters to use the crime, it's local, right, 50 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: So I just want to make sure that we always 51 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: keep in mind this is true of basically every major 52 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: city across the country and most medium sized cities if 53 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: you look at it places across the country. I've mentioned 54 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: Whichitan Lanson because I crunch the numbers on those. There 55 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: are others though, that are you know, in the less 56 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: less than half a million range, a couple one hundred thousand, 57 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: where they've still had big increases in crime. Portland a 58 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: city of six hundred thousand and a thousand shootings in 59 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: the last year, right, So Clay, what we have, though 60 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: is a Democrat party that is in denial about this, 61 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: because what are they gonna say, right, How are they 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: pushed all this stuff like they had the panacea? Undermine cops, 63 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: more social services, less crime, everybody's happier, more social justice. 64 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: What we've gotten is old ladies being clubbed on the 65 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: head on the way to the store, those guys being 66 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: led out the same day because no cash bail. People 67 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: being either not prosecuted for felonies or very lightly prosecuted 68 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 1: for felonies because social justice is going to be better. 69 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: This is madness. AOC said just last week. This was 70 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: the quote, folks, we have to talk about specifics, for example, 71 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: because we're actually seeing a lot of these allegations of 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: organized retail theft are actually not panning out. This is 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: an interview last week. I believe it's a Walgreens in 74 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: California cited it, but the data didn't back it up. 75 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if this woman's living on another planet, she's 76 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: not even living in another country, she's living another planet. 77 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: This is insane. Being concerned with the punishment of criminals. 78 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: Being too strong is a luxury of low crime. And 79 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: I hate to sound like Matthew McConaughey in True Detective, 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: but time is a flat circle. What ends up happening 81 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: over and over again is we go through the same 82 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: cycles in this country. People get convinced that police have 83 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: too much power, and there's a couple of viral videos 84 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: that go out and it becomes anecdotal evidence to support 85 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: an indictment of police everywhere in the wake of George Floyd, 86 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: and the overall result is so eminently predictable. Crime skyrockets. 87 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: The people that are ostensibly being protested for are the 88 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: ones who bear the brunt of the crime because, make 89 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: no mistake about it, Black Lives Matter, in an unbelievable 90 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: irony leads to the more active Black Lives Matter protests are, 91 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: the more black people who die. That happens almost every 92 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: single city if you look at the data. The more 93 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: active and protests are, the less police are able to 94 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: do their job, the media disappears, and the murderate skyrockets 95 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: for those who are left behind in those cities. And 96 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: so this is eminently predictable. It's why in twenty twenty 97 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: two we need to see a massive outreach of Republican 98 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: voters to repudiate, defund the police, and to let police 99 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: do their jobs again and put violent criminals back behind 100 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: the bars, I mean to me, even though people want 101 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: to pretend it didn't happen. Waukashaw is a perfect example 102 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: of this, Buck. You had a guy who never should 103 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: have been on the streets at all. Daryl Brooks was 104 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: a violent, hardened criminal who was allowed out with a 105 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: limited bail, and then, would we believe, committed racially charged 106 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: murders in Waukashaw, and the media wants to pretend it 107 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: didn't happen because the media directly has blood on its 108 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: hands with what happened there. But so did the das 109 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: who are not enforcing the law and are allowing violent criminals. 110 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: You see this all the time, Buck, How often do 111 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: you see whenever one of these incident happens, the person 112 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: who does it almost never has any kind of clean 113 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: rap sheet, right. They have been in and out of 114 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: prison for years, violent crime after violent crime. They had 115 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: no business being out. This is happening all over our country, 116 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: whether it's Milwaukee, whether it's Nix, whether it's Houston, whether 117 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: it's New York City, Atlanta, you name the place, it's 118 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: happening everywhere. Clay, there was just a horrific fatal stabbing 119 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: in New York of a PhD student. There actually were 120 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: two stabbings, one Columbia, the other D Right, I'm sorry, 121 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: a Columbia PhD student. Right, Yeah, the Columbia PhD student 122 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: who was stabbed to death, and unsurprisingly, the guy who 123 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: stabbed him to death had already been arrested eleven times. Now, 124 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: I understand that the story that we're supposed to believe 125 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: here from the criminal justice reformers out there on the left, 126 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: the sauros thinking social justice, progressive prosecutor types, or whether 127 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: the prosecutors are just individuals, but that that same mentality is, oh, 128 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: my gosh, some guy got caught for the third time 129 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: stealing a pair of socks and he's going to prison 130 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: forever for it, and that shouldn't happen. Now, by the way, 131 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: that shouldn't happen. But what also shouldn't happened is you 132 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: change laws that aren't really going to stop that, but 133 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: will result in people who have multiple felony convictions arrests. 134 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, once you've been arrested ten, eleven, fifteen, twenty. 135 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: In the case of a guy who hit an old 136 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: lady here on the street some months ago, but it 137 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: went viral, because there's video of it. Literally just just 138 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: clocked an old lady in the head walking past her 139 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: broad daylight, an elderly woman. Guy's been arrested one hundred times. Okay, 140 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: So at what point do the Libs have to accept 141 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: that when someone's been arrested fifteen times, fifty times, a 142 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: hundred times, it's not because the system is so unfair 143 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: to them, at least the criminal justice system. If anything, 144 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: it's too permissive, and there are people that need to 145 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: be taken off the street for the safety of those 146 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: around them. Notice, with COVID, you know you're a threat 147 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: to other people if you breathe. But with violent felons, 148 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: it's hey, come on, let's not be too harsh, let's 149 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: not get crazy. You know, this guy doesn't need to 150 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: go to prison. He'll only you know, he hit his 151 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: fifth old lady over the head with a hammer. Maybe 152 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: if we give him, you know, some more social service, says, 153 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: he'll stop hitting old ladies with hammers. The irony here, also, Buck, 154 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: is that maybe the only thing Joe Biden's almost gotten 155 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: right in his entire career nineteen ninety four Crime Crime Bill, 156 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: which he now has repeated, the one thing and I 157 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: will say, right, there were Republicans at the time just 158 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: out of like sheer hatred of Biden. We're saying, oh, 159 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: he even turned us, and I'm like, no, no no, guys, 160 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: but that was that was actually good. That's actually that 161 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: was actually a good thing. And now we should be 162 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: hitting him for abandoning the one good thing that either 163 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: that anyway, I mean, it's it's crazy, everyone's saying. I mean, 164 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, we've got he'd just go down the list, right, 165 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Phoenix, Minneapolis, all these cities. Claire, 166 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: people listening to across the coy Houston, all right, shooting's 167 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: way up, crime way up.

Yesterday, 191 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: the sum US some nineteen forty one, a date which 192 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: will live in infamy United States of America was suddenly 193 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: and deliberately attacked by naval of course, is of the 194 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: Empire of Japan. There we have Fdr Right after the 195 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: bombing of Pearl Harbor. Evall, I'm sure heard that before. 196 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: Today is, of course the eightieth anniversary of the bombing 197 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: of Pearl Harbor. Clay and I both like to weave 198 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: history in or discussions here, and you know, Clay, it 199 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: is a reminder, I think, as first of all, so 200 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: many things I actually just read for the first time recently. 201 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: I'd never actually read with the Old Breed, which was 202 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: largely the base for the series The Pacific Right, And 203 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: it's about a marine who was at a couple of 204 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: the nastiest battles in the Pacific Theater in World War Two, 205 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: and it's it's haunting to even read it. It is 206 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: one of those things where you look back on the 207 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: history of America and there have been a lot of wars, 208 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: a lot of battles fought the Marines and the Navy 209 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: and everyone who served in general, but the Marines in 210 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: World War Two and the Pacific Theater, what they were 211 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: willing to go right into the teeth of almost defies belief. 212 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it really was. The Spartans at the Pass 213 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: of Thermopoli outnumbered one hundred to one in terms of 214 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: just the risk and the unbelievable, you know, fearsome adversary 215 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: that they were up against, no doubt. And I think, 216 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: and you probably have noticed this too, they're oftentimes is 217 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: I think in World War two a bias towards coverage 218 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: of what happened in Europe because of the clear delionation 219 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: the Nazis, Churchill Hitler, the fact that the East coast 220 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: of the United States is so much closer to everything 221 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: that was going on in Europe, and obviously d Day, 222 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: such that the war in the Pacific is in many 223 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: ways sort of ignored comparatively in terms of the scholarship 224 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: surrounding World War Two. And interestingly, there's even a little 225 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: bit of an analogy with this in the Civil War, 226 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: the War in the West, which obviously wasn't that far 227 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: west at the time, but Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, everything in 228 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: the western theater gets a lot less attention than what 229 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: happened with Lee and Grant and everybody in the eastern 230 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: theater of the Civil War, in such that what happened 231 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: in Pearl Harbor and the shock of it all gets 232 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: way more attention than the battles that took place in 233 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: all of the Pacific theater. Really what you get is 234 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: a lot of times D day, and then everybody skips 235 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: ahead to the atomic bomb and overlooks in many ways 236 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: what had to take place in the Pacific theater and 237 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: how savage that war was with Japan. Unbelievably high casualties 238 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: taken in conflicts like Guadalcanal, Ewo Jima, numbers that you know, 239 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: the modern world just wouldn't be able, you know, modern 240 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: Western societies wouldn't be able to handle a week of 241 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: what we were seeing in terms of those figures coming 242 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: out of some of those battles. And you know, you 243 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: mentioned the way that this has covered and historically how 244 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: kids learn about all this stuff in school. I'll just 245 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: say this, We all know that the evils of the 246 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: Nazi regime were something that still almost almost defies defies 247 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: belief or defies possibility. How can any be that evil? 248 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: The Japanese imperial regime was really evil too, And anybody 249 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: who fought in that theater, anyone who liberated POW's, anyone 250 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: who was you know, in the Philippines after the Japanese occupation, 251 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: spent any time in mainland China after the Japanese were through, 252 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: they allied with the Nazis. I think this is often 253 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: forgotten that they were, you know, the right hand in 254 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: the Far East to the Nazi regime, and that was 255 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: reflected in the way that they fought, in the way 256 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: that they treated bows, the way that that regime completely 257 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: dehumanized the enemy, abandoned all rules of warfare. And so, 258 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, because we also still have this ongoing debate 259 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: about oh dropping the bomb, what we saw in the 260 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: various theaters, whether it was okanala Uojima, Guadalcanal, there was 261 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: a willingness to essentially turn these islands into trench warfare 262 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: battles and fight to the very last man. And that's 263 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: why we're taking such high casualties because we cleared out, 264 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, our soldiers, our marines and the people that 265 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: were on the front lines were clearing out yard by 266 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: yard these volcanic islands essentially that are that are almost 267 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: like a giant bunker, was the way they had been constructed. 268 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: So it was you know, I don't think there's really 269 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: gonna I mean a lot of people listening to this 270 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: are big World War two history buff so they know, 271 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: but I don't think kids are learning this stuff. I 272 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: don't think they're understanding the full scope and scale of 273 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: what happened. I think it's well said, Buck, and not 274 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: only that this is living memory. You probably, Buck to 275 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: have been fortunate enough as I have to speak to 276 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: so many different people who thought both in the Pacific 277 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: theater and also in Your grandfather was on the USS Batan. 278 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: He was there for Lady Gulf, which was the biggest 279 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: naval engagement I believe in terms of ships involved in 280 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: modern history. And he rarely talked about it. But a 281 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: lot of you listening to this, I'm sure no. When 282 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: you talk to World War Two veterans toward the end 283 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: where the latter four or five years of the end 284 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: of his life, a few times he would talk about 285 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: what it was like for five days straight off Kamikaze's coming, 286 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: and he would just start talking about out of nowhere. 287 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: I remember I told this story a few months ago. 288 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: I think about my great uncle who had met Patton 289 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: in while he was serving in Europe. And Patton was 290 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: walking down the line and talking talking to the different soldiers, 291 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: and they had been out fighting for a long time, 292 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: and he stopped in front of my great uncle and said, 293 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: have you gotten a chance to kill any Germans yet 294 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: and he said no, and he said you will, kid, 295 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: you will. And the point I think that is so illuminative, 296 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: a lustrative in so many ways, is right now the 297 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: way American history is being taught. And I was a 298 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: history major in school, so I understand the concepts of 299 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: historiography and how we decide to tell the narrative of 300 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: the past. But we are skipping over the living memory 301 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: of the greatest generation. I believe thirty survivors of Pearl 302 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: Harbor are scheduled to be at the ceremonies today, and 303 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: we're skipping over the greatest generation and the legacies that 304 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: they have left us and are still here illuminating. And 305 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: instead we're going all the way back to sixteen nineteen 306 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: and trying to argue that America has founded as a 307 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: fundamentally unfair and unjust country. And we're skipping right over 308 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: your point, Buck, which is we went to war with 309 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: the Nazis and with their allies in Japan, who were 310 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: determined to effectively destroy freedoms in the world in the 311 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: living memory of many people that are here with us 312 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: right now, and we're trying to pretend that that isn't 313 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: the actual legacy of America when it clearly is, and 314 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: it's just so fundamentally a lie that it's why those 315 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: generations and people who are closer to them are so patriotic, 316 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: because they understand what America represents, and younger generations are 317 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: being taught Hey, four hundred years ago, America was a 318 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: bad place, and so you should hate this country today. 319 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: It's a fundamental failure of our country to own our 320 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: country's history in an honest and transparent way. There our 321 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: parents and grandparents and maybe even some you know, some 322 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: listening right now. We're there and saw some of this themselves. 323 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: But a lot of the people listening have parents and 324 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: grandparents who prevented a global totalitarianism from turning us all 325 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: into slaves of an authoritarian system. That is the legacy 326 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: of America within the last hundred years, which is a 327 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: pretty remarkable thing when you think about it. By the way, 328 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: it wasn't just the Nazis and the Imperial Japan and 329 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: their allies. It's also the Soviet Union, which we worked 330 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: with in the Second World War kind of because we 331 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: had to under the circumstances. The whole other conversation we 332 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: had about how really twin you know, cousins of the 333 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: evils of authoritarianism, the Soviet regime and the Nazi regime, 334 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: socialist evils by the way, and and yet here we 335 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: are now, as tier Point Clay, being told constantly that 336 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: America is a bad place. And I know, we make 337 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: jokes about how, you know, the French would be speaking 338 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: German if it weren't for us, but it's true. It's 339 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: also worth remembering that.

One of the biggest 395 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: stories and biggest failings of many failings in the Biden 396 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: administration is what's going on at our southern border. We 397 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: bring in now. Brandon Judd. He's the president of the 398 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: National Border Patrol Council, which represents rank and file border 399 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: patrol agents nationwide. He had an op ed yesterday with 400 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: Fox where Brandon reported that in the month of November, 401 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: the Border Patrol recorded more than fifty two thousand gotaways 402 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: on the southwest border. Enough people that I'm reading from 403 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: his article to fill Joe Biden's hometown of Greenville, Delaware 404 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: twenty two times. Brandon, is there any suggestion that the 405 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: Biden administration basically throwing up their arms and re embracing 406 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: what the Trump administration had done with the remain in 407 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: Mexico policy? Is going to fix what has been a 408 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: sieve at our southern border? Or is it possible for 409 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: the Biden administration to fix the mess that exists right now? 410 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: It is possible for them to fix it. Are they 411 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: actually going to implement Trump's policies? No, They're not going to. 412 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: They've They've blocked themselves in a corner. They know darn 413 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: good andwell that if they implement the Micron Protection Protocols 414 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: or more commonly not as Romane Mexico, they know darn 415 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: good andwell that if they implement it properly, illegal border 416 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: crossings will drop to historic lows. And if it drops 417 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: to historic lows, then they're going to have to admit 418 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: that they were wrong. They're going to have to admit 419 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: that Trump got it right, that his border security policies 420 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: were good, and that they were wrong for causing all 421 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: the chaos that they cause. They're not going to do it, 422 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: which is why they're slow rolling it right now. I mean, 423 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: we're only in rolling around thirty people at any given 424 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: time into the Micron Protection protocols. So no, I don't 425 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: think that they're going to actually implement it properly because 426 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: they know if they do, it's gonna work. Hey, Brandon, 427 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: it's buck. So basically they're saying they're doing this so 428 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: that then they can say they're doing something, because the 429 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: alternative is the continuation of the de facto open border 430 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: status quo. And I've been down there in some months, 431 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: but last time I was down there at the border, Brandon, 432 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: they were just the border patrol agents were telling me, 433 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: they are overwhelmed, overstretched, to put it mildly, and that 434 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: people who want to run illicit contraband drugs, human smuggling 435 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: into the country. Apart from the situation of the migrants 436 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: who are surrending them surrendering themselves and claiming incredible fear, 437 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: it's just all out of control. Can you give us 438 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: a sense of where we are right now with the 439 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: year in the you know, the overall year numbers, like 440 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: how many illegals have actually crossed in? How many goataways 441 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: are we having a month? I mean, I think that 442 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: puts it into perspective for everybody. And are we hitting 443 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: all time records? I mean, have we ever had a 444 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: year that's this open. So in Sistal year twenty one, 445 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: which ended at the end of September, we broke all 446 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: records in both apprehensions and goataways. We had more than 447 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand gataways. In twenty one alone, we had 448 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: nearly one point seven million apprehensions, and the first two 449 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: months of this fiscal year we already have one hundred 450 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: thousand gataways. Now on the outfit, I wrote fifty two 451 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: thousand in the month of November. But to couple that 452 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: with the forty eight thousand, and it's just just just 453 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: under forty eight thousand in the month of October, and 454 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: we're already at one hundred thousand in two months. We're 455 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: on pace to go six hundred thousand gataways and on 456 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: top of that, we're on pace to make two million apprehensions. Yeah, 457 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: this just it's they this administration refuses to define the problem. 458 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: And if they refuse to call this um you know, 459 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: the chaos that they've caused. If they refuse to define 460 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: the problem, they're not going to come up with the 461 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: solutions they need. I mean, all they say is, well, 462 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: it's a challenge. It's it's a it's a challenge. It's 463 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: not a crisis. It's challenge. So if you don't define 464 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: it as a crisis, you're not going to develop the policies, 465 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: the programs, the operations that is going to allow us 466 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: to fix the problem. They're just not going Brandon, thanks 467 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: for coming on with us. Several months ago, the Fox 468 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: News was able to report on a mass collection of 469 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, many of them Haitian, underneath the bridge if 470 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, in Del Rio, Texas. They then cleaned 471 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: up that huge mass of people. But my understanding is 472 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: the vast majority of those people were just allowed into 473 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: the country. How many people that are coming across the 474 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: border illegally are just being allowed to enter into the country, 475 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: being given a report that they have to show up 476 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: at CORD or whatever else, But then we just never 477 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: end up hearing from those people. You talk about getaways 478 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: and people who get across the border and all those things, 479 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: But we're releasing a lot of these people into the 480 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: country with the hope that they're going to show up 481 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: for these court proceedings when many of them aren't. Isn't 482 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: that a reality of what's going on? It is? It 483 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: is it's called a notice to appear. We will issue 484 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: notices to appear or notices to report NTA ntrs. With 485 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: those NTAs, we give them a de facto legal status. 486 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: So so imagine this, You cross the border illegally, you 487 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: you break our laws, and then you're rewarded by giving 488 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: by being given a de facto legal status and release. 489 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: The Border Patrol alone released UM approximately one hundred and 490 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: fifty thousand people with NTA's UM in fiscal year twenty one, 491 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: then ice released just as many UM. Then then you 492 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: also have to consider the kind accompanied hum children that 493 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: were released to HHS r R. That's helping Human Services Office, 494 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: the Refugee re Settlements. UM. They then release people to 495 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: UH to foster homes. UM. It was nearly six hundred 496 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: thousand people were released in fiscal years so so yeah, no, 497 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: I mean those are astronomical numbers. Wow, four hundred thousand 498 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: gotaways and then six hundred thousand people were released with 499 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: NTAs or ntrs. A million people. That's how many people 500 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: we added illegally to our population in fiscal year twenty one. 501 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: Brandon Judd, president of a National Border Patrol Council. He's 502 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: got a great op ed on Foxnews dot Com published yesterday. Brandon, 503 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: where does this? Where does this go? I mean, at 504 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: some point you have to wonder how it's possible that 505 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: this can continue as it is, with the numbers just 506 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: growing and growing month after month without some real I mean, 507 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: the American people are very actually when they pull them 508 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: dialed in on the issue of immigration, think that I 509 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: legal immigration is an important challenge to deal with, and 510 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: yet there seems to be not only no political urgency 511 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: in DC right now to the Biden regime to do 512 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: anything about it, but obviously there's a general media blackout. 513 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why we want to have you 514 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: on is to just keep making sure that we get 515 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: the information out there all across the country. Where do 516 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: you see this going? I mean, is this basically I'm 517 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: asking it. Does it seem like the people in charge 518 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: right now like what's happening? Yeah? It does? It does 519 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: it looks like they're pandering to their base. That it 520 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: truly it truly feels like this is a lane duck administration. 521 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: It feels like they know that they're a one and 522 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: done and so they're going to try to get as 523 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: much done to satisfy their liberal base as they possibly can. Um. 524 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because as much as as much 525 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: as I love put on the uniform and going out 526 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: and control the border, I'm heavily involved in politics for 527 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: my membership and any any intelligent person knowing what Biden's 528 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: age was, you know, we all wondered when he won, 529 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, is he really going to run for reelection? 530 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: Because if he is, he's going to be a centrist. 531 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: He's going to be right down in the middle. Obama 532 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: in his first term he was he was pretty much 533 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: down in the middle, and then of course when he 534 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: won reelection, that's when he started legislating through executive order. 535 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: But this administration, it truly feels like they know that 536 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: they're a one and done, so they're trying to do 537 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: as much to satisfy their liberal base as they possibly 538 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: can in the four years that they have brandon Joe 539 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: Biden's people have tried to make a big deal of 540 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: the fact that he's not been to the borders, as 541 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: it not mattering, and that he had been to the 542 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: border at El Paso back when he was running for president, 543 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: I think in two thousand and eight or whatever. They 544 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: tried to say, why does it matter for the president 545 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: based on the people that you represent, to come to 546 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: the border and see for himself what is happening there. 547 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: As much as I hated the Hastian crisis, as much 548 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: as I hated seeing how much stress my fellow agents 549 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: were under in that particular stretch of border, it was 550 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: great that the American public got the visual. It was 551 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: great that they got to see what is actually happening 552 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: on the border. You know, we had at the top number, 553 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: we had about fourteen thousand people under that bridge, but 554 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: we're arresting between five and seven thousand people every single day. 555 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: Every single day, we're arresting more than a caravan every 556 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: single day. And unless you come down here and actually 557 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: see it, you will not get you will not understand 558 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: the full magnitude of what's taking place if you don't 559 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: go into the process. I look back in in twenty 560 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: nineteen when when Vice President Pence went to McCallen, he 561 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 1: went into the processing center, he saw how bad it was, 562 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: and it was like night and day the changes that 563 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: they made. Um. And so if you do not come 564 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: down and actually see for yourself what is going on, 565 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: it's just like defining the issue. If you don't see it, 566 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: if you don't define it, you're never going to come 567 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: up with the solutions. And that's the problem. And let's 568 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: be clear, Um, Joe Biden didn't come to the border. 569 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: He drove through El Paso. UM, you know, it's it's 570 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: a it's a far cry to drive through a border 571 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: city to then actually going out on the border looking 572 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: at seeing whether or not we have the resources that 573 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: are necessary, seeing all of the different things aspects on 574 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: the border. All he did was drove through El Paso. 575 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: He's never been to the border Brandon, just want to 576 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: know before we let you get back to speaking for 577 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: the mediment of border Roll, how's their morale? How are 578 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: they feeling about the mission and what they're being asked 579 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: to do day in and day out. So twenty four 580 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: years I've been doing this job, I've never seen the 581 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: morale lower than what it is today. Um. You know, 582 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: we put on the uniform all law enforcement. This goes 583 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: for law enforcement across the nation. I don't care if 584 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: it's a Department of Public Safety, your your local police officers, 585 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: your county sheriffs, every law enforcement officer. They put on 586 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: that uniform because they want to do a job and 587 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: protect the American public. We care about the American public. 588 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: But when you put that uniform on and you know 589 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: that all you have is is people that are trying 590 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: to defund the police, UM, not putting policies in place 591 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: to take care of the smashing grads, UM, not doing 592 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: anything to actually secure the border. You really wonder why 593 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: why is it, Um that I continue to do it? 594 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: And you know, thank goodness, thank goodness to my fellow 595 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: agents for having that dedication, and even in the face 596 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: of what has taken place right now, they still every day, 597 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: put on that uniform, go out do the best that 598 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: they can to protect the American public.

This kind of makes me 642 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: laugh because it's absurdly ridiculous, and unfortunately it is where 643 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: these policies on gender being a choice lead us, particularly 644 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: in the world of sports. There is right now a 645 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania swimmer and I touched on this a 646 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: little bit on Friday, But then this swimmer went and 647 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: performed in a meet over the weekend and set all 648 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: sorts of new crazy records. So at the University of 649 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania there was a mail swimmer who was on the 650 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: team for three years and was really good buck like 651 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: an All IVY League caliber mail swimmer. Then this swimmer 652 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: decides to identify as a woman, gets estridge and treatments 653 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: or whatever it is to fulfill NCUBA rules for a year, 654 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 1: and now is competing on the University of Pennsylvania women's team. 655 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: This is not a made up story. This is not 656 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 1: an Onion headline. This is not some sort of crazy, outlandish, 657 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: this can't be true story. This is really going on 658 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: in the Ivy League. Three years a mail swimmer at 659 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: an elite level for an Ivy League school, the University 660 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania, decides to change gender, now swimming as a woman, 661 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: and Buck over the weekend won the sixteen hundred and 662 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: fifty by thirty eight seconds. This man did, who is 663 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,879 Speaker 1: now swimming as a woman, by thirty eight seconds, and 664 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: then also in a five hundred meter race one by 665 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: nearly fifteen seconds, on pace for all time records in 666 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: NC double A races. This UPenn swimmer a man who 667 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 1: identifies as a woman. Now, this is an interesting part 668 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 1: of this story. Buck. We have written about this at OutKick, 669 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: the website that I run a voice for sanity in 670 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: the world of sports very often OutKick dot com. You 671 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: can check it out. After we wrote about it at OutKick, 672 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,720 Speaker 1: and after this story was widely shared on the internet 673 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: over the weekend and early part of this week, several 674 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: different swimming coaches and also several different swimmers in the 675 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: world of women's swimming have reached out. They are terrified 676 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: to use their actual names because of being called transphobic. 677 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: But they are saying what I think many of you 678 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: listening right now are saying, this represents the destruction of 679 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 1: women's sports. You have all of these women, biological women 680 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: who have trained their entire lives to compete at a 681 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: high level, and suddenly a biological man is crushing them 682 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: and they're afraid to speak out your thoughts. Buck Sexton, Well, 683 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: this is this is interesting because you know, I've been 684 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: doing talk radio now Conservaive Talk Radio for ten years, 685 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: and I remember a decade ago talking about how it 686 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 1: was just a matter of time early on the LGBTQ 687 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: trans movement, right, yes, it was just a matter of 688 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: time before you would have the bathroom policies, the athletes 689 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,919 Speaker 1: competing against you know, the of different genders. I even said, 690 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: what about mixed martial arts fighters? And then there was 691 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: a mixed martial arts fighter who is biologically male, I mean, 692 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: who was just destroying I mean it was horrifying to watch. 693 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: It was not even close when this former male MMA 694 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: fighter is fighting women right in the ring, the things. 695 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: And then it also in prisons. Now increasingly there's a 696 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 1: movement to take trans trans females who are biological males 697 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: and put them in women's prisons or women hold you know, 698 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: women's jail facilities, and all the things that Clay we 699 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: brought up to say, this is the logical terminus of 700 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 1: the leftist insanity. This is where it's going. They said, 701 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: you're fear mongering. No one's going to do that, that 702 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: will never happen. But when you understand the nature of 703 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: the left's argument, you know that, of course that's where 704 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: it's going. So this is where we are now. This 705 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: is essentially the eradication of women's achievement in sports before 706 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: our very eyes, people who have spent countless hours, blood, sweat, 707 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: and tears trying to be the best they can at 708 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: their sport. I mean, what's what's even the point? Now? 709 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: You have to wonder how long before all of the 710 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: women's records in different sports at the NC double A 711 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: level and even at the professional level are held by 712 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: biological mails. It's not very long before that's going to 713 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: happen at the current rate. And so that's one big 714 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: part of it. And the other part of it for 715 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: me is I just think it's so interesting that you know, 716 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: there was this moment in time where people would still refuse. 717 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: We are all now using the language of the left 718 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: on this, and I find that I find that very troublesome. 719 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: What I mean is, you know, you turn on you know, 720 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: news channels, and everyone's saying, she, now, I believe you 721 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: know my first name is James. In case then it 722 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: doesn't know. My middle name is Buckman, and I I've 723 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: been called Bucks and some baby. My point being on that, 724 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, your name is whatever you want it to be. Right. 725 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: If somebody wants to be called you know, if they 726 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: change their name to Darth Vader or legally, I'm gonna 727 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 1: call them Darth Vader. Whatever your name is, I'll call 728 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: you right. Gender is a biological reality, and part of 729 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: the movement of the LGBTQ effort has been and what 730 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: the left has wanted is for people to really be 731 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: a party to a lie here. I mean to the 732 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: point where even the New York Times, which is a 733 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: left wing rag, but the New York Times has had 734 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: to have discussions internally about whether the plural usage they 735 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: for individuals. Even if it seems nice, it's just so 736 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,839 Speaker 1: grammatically problematic because you're not multiple people, So it's confusing 737 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: to the reader. We are now in a point where 738 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: it's gone so far the clay everyone I see in 739 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: the is this is a male. This is a male. 740 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: We can say a transgender female if you want. It 741 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: is not a female. This is a biological male. And 742 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: we're all saying she and she's doing this, and why, 743 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that. I don't think that 744 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,800 Speaker 1: pronoun is an issue of preference. I think the pronoun 745 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: is an issue of biological reality, and we're making a concession. 746 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,399 Speaker 1: This is all over the place, by the way. I'm 747 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: sure I've done it too, even unwittingly, the same way 748 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 1: that occasionally, you know, you'll say, wait, you undocumented. All 749 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 1: my gosh, I don't want to say undocumented, because it's 750 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: everywhere now. My big thing is just you can't allow 751 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: this to happen. And I've been on this for years 752 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: as well, and it's so clear that men are bigger, stronger, 753 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,240 Speaker 1: and faster than women. This is why we divided men's 754 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: and women's sports hundreds of years ago, because if men 755 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: competed against women and we had a unisex competition, women 756 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: would never win anything. And that's not me trying to 757 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: demean all female athletes. I love athletics period, But if 758 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: we just had basketball, and we didn't have men's and 759 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: women's basketball, no woman would mostly ever even make a 760 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 1: high school basketball team. The best men's sixteen year old 761 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: soccer team annihilated the women's national Olympic team annihilated them. 762 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: It was a troke. There would be no women's soccer. 763 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 1: There would be no women's tennis, there would be no 764 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 1: women's track and field at the Olympics. There would only 765 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: be male medalist. Pretty much. There might be some woman 766 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: who is an ice skating shooter ice skating, you know. 767 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: I think it depends on how you would define ice skating, right, 768 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: because they have women's ice skating. Male ice skaters are 769 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: really good. To my understanding too, Maybe the artist would 770 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: push them over the top, maybe the artistry, but I 771 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: think I mean, my wife was a was a gymnast. 772 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,359 Speaker 1: But men are able to jump bigger, higher, faster in 773 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 1: terms of doing all of the things that women do 774 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: as well, even in gymnastics. So my point here is, 775 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: if you are going to allow biological men to compete 776 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: against women, then you are destroying the entire fabric of 777 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: women's athletics. Soapuck what I find to be most disappointing 778 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: about this entire process is almost no one is willing 779 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 1: to have this conversation. And all these female swimmers who 780 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: are getting crushed by this biological man who has decided 781 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: to identify as a woman, almost all of them are 782 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: terrified to even speak out. The coaches are afraid they'll 783 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: lose their jobs. The women who are nineteen twenty twenty 784 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: one years old are afraid that they'll never be able 785 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: to get a job because they'll get branded as transphobic 786 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: if they speak out. Which, now, for folks, I know 787 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: this might sound crazy, but in the more liberal corridors 788 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: of the country, to be transphobic as right alongside being 789 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 1: racist with you are and untouchable, that's who are someone 790 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: who cannot it is a liability to even have you around, 791 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 1: certainly as part of a corporation, certainly as part of 792 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: as part of a workforce. So, yeah, if you're an 793 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: Ivy League swimmer and you're looking to get that job 794 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: at you know, Goldman Sacks or some hedge fund or 795 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: some law firm or whatever, transphobic is, that's the end 796 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,760 Speaker 1: a kiss of death, that's the end of it for you. Yeah, 797 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: and so how do you how do you reconcile this. 798 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: I think it's such a big conversation because it's spreading 799 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 1: down to the high school ranks. Some people say, well, 800 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: this is not a big deal because women also compete 801 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 1: against men. Yeah, but they never win. Women who decide 802 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: to change and become men and compete against male apples, 803 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: they don't destroy accomplishments that they get annihilated, and then 804 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: they don't want to play the sport anymore against the men. 805 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 1: This is destroying women's achievement. What's amazing is that the 806 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: feminists are quiet on this because the feminist or action 807 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: just left is trying to under or rather kick at 808 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: the load bearing walls of American civilization. That's a quick 809 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: way of putting it. But Clay, I think this only 810 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: goes away when enough people are so sickened by it 811 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 1: and just find it to be so detestable that there's 812 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: a public outcry against it. But I think we're a 813 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 1: long way away. You're gonna have to have a lot 814 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: of women's records destroyed, and they'll have to be a 815 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: movement to say, you know, sorry, we're gonna take the 816 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: names off the trophies for the best women's you know 817 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 1: five hundred meter eight hundred meters or whatever that are 818 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: actually men. We're gonna we're not going to allow this. 819 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna and that's years away, I think, because people 820 00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: are so look at what we see all the country, 821 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 1: there's so much conformity, everyone just carrying around the little 822 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 1: propaganda machines of their phone in their pocket all the time. 823 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: And they're also scared of their friends and everyone so 824 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: terrified of being told that they're not a part of 825 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: the smart, cool herd. Unfortunately, I think that's true. And man, 826 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,839 Speaker 1: I don't know how it's going to end. I think 827 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: the women's athletics is going to be under a fundamental, 828 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 1: an existential assault before this comes to a real head. 829 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: Michael Lindel, he's the inventor of My Pillow.
