1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Our two of Clay and Buck starts 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: right now. Everybody, Thanks for joining us, Thanks for sticking 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: with us. If you were with us in the first hour, 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: we sep we're going to dive into the issue of crime. 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: I still think that this is likely to be a 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: very important part of the twenty twenty four picture. But honestly, 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: it's just critical in the meantime to get the truth 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: out there as much as possible, because there's always the 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: chance that some Democrat mayor governor police commissioner, state legislature, whatever, 11 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: always a chance that a Democrat may see the light 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: on this and decide that he or she is going 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: to try to bring the crime numbers down. I want 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: to give you a couple of case studies in this 15 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: right now. One is the question we asked before getting 16 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: into this hour, and because this is this is quite 17 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: a moment, one of the things we've often talked to 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: you about out is how many times people that commit 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: serious crimes, heinous, violent crimes that end up getting the headlines, 20 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: how many times they've been arrested already. And that's really 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: important because we were led to believe by the criminal 22 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: justice reform movement, which took years and years and millions 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: and millions of dollars of Soros money to those prosecutors 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: and Democrat Alie media constantly telling these stories, Oh my gosh, 25 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: do you know the story of this person who was 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: found with half a marijuana cigarette and he got seventeen 27 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: consecutive life sentences and we goes, oh my gosh, that's terrible, 28 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: that's in joy and by the way, that would be injustice, right, 29 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: But is that really what's going on? Is that really 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: what's happening? Well, I bring you the case of Washington, 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: d C, our nation's capital, which, let's note is probably 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: the greatest concentration of law enforcement agencies and personnel anywhere 33 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: on US soil. I can't think of another play. So, 34 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: I mean, New York has a lot as well, but 35 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: DC AD, you got DC Metro, and you got his 36 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: secret services that I can't even rattle off all the 37 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: different agencies that have men and women with guns who 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: are enforcing the law in that you have in Washington, DC. 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: So how many times has the average murder suspect homicide 40 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: suspect been arrested? Well, here is DC Police Chief Robert 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: CONTI play it. What we gotta do if we really 42 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: want to see homicides go down, is keep bad guys 43 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: with guns in jail, because when they get in jail, 44 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: they can't be in community shooting people. So when people 45 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: talk about what we're going to do different, or what 46 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: we should do different, what we need to do different, 47 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: that's the thing that we need to do different. We 48 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: need to keep violent people in jail. Right now, the 49 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: average homicide suspect, the average homicide suspect has been arrested 50 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: eleven times prior to them committing a homicide. That is 51 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: a problem. That is a problem. You know what I 52 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: want to know? I mean eleven times, everybody was the answer. 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: We even had Ali on our staffs. As she would 54 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: have guessed six, I would have guessed six as well. 55 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: Mind blowing crazy for people out there who are when 56 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: I saw this trend trending yesterday and I saw the 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: number eleven times, eleven times to be arrested. And we've 58 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: talked about this on the program before, that this idea 59 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: that murders just come out of nowhere. Most people don't 60 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: commit an extremely violent act the first time they break 61 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: the law. Right. There are exceptions, but most people don't 62 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: jump from a life of following the law to suddenly 63 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: committing murder. Usually there is a progression of violence that occurs, 64 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: a stair step, as it were. And this ties in 65 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: in a big way, buck with what's going on right 66 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: now in DC, because not only are the police department 67 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: and all the officials fed up with they're arresting these 68 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: guys all these times and then getting back out on 69 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: the street and harming most often black people, right because 70 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: the vast majority of murders that occur in Washington, DC 71 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: are of black victims, most often killed by other black people. Right, 72 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: So when you're arresting this guy eleven times and BLM 73 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: is out there saying we've got to have racial equity, well, 74 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: how about the people who are murder victims who are 75 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly black. If black lives matter, why don't you care 76 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: about protecting innocent lives that are being taken all over 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: this country right now? Is the black murder rate has 78 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: skyrocketed in the way to wake of George Floyd, with 79 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: almost all of those murders being committed by other black people, right, 80 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: fifty percent increase, I think in the black homicide rate 81 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: is the number in the wake of the George Floyd incident. 82 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: So buck DC sees all this data, right, this is 83 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: not some hypothetical. You can legitimately look at the murder rate, 84 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: violent crime rate, and what do they decide to do? 85 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Pass a new bill that will actually hold people who 86 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: commit violence less accountable than they are right now, Oh, 87 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: we can get even more specific in that data set, 88 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: because that is what they're doing. And now you actually 89 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: have Congress stepping in to say, you guys can't do this. Okay, 90 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: we have to show up to work in the Capitol. 91 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Basically is what they've said. But you bring up that 92 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: they would the DC Council and it was over the 93 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: objection of Mayor Bowser. I actually friend the police chief, 94 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: everybody in DC that that was not on the council. Basically, 95 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: it was like, you guys are imbeciles. I have friends 96 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: who have worked in Bowser's for Muriel Bowser in the past, 97 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: and they've told me that, you know, while the Mayor's 98 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: definitely a Democrat and you very pro BLM and all 99 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: of that when that was happening, also pro business and 100 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: also understands that if you if all the businesses start 101 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: to leave downtown DC. You got a big problem. Now 102 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: the council, the DC Council is completely insane, obviously representing 103 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: the various you know districts of the district or whatever 104 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: they call them, you know, the different sections, and so 105 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: you brought up the I just thought this was amazing, Clay. 106 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: There were four hundred and eighty five carjackings in Washington, 107 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: DC in twenty twenty two. Carjackings is a particularly big 108 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: problem in DC has become and it has been going 109 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: up for the last five years. One of the things 110 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: in the DC Council Crime Bill, or you know, soft 111 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: on crime bill as people are calling it, was a 112 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: less severe sentence for carjacking. So they have a carjacking 113 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: problem that is out of DC. Is not that big 114 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: of a city, DC proper. It's like six hundred thousand people. 115 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's when you add the you know, the 116 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: Beltway and everything gets a lot bigger. But this is 117 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: about DC city, this is the urban center. You've almost 118 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: five hundred carjackings a year in this city. And there 119 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: are people who are in charge of writing the local 120 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: laws and they think, you know what we gotta do, 121 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: Let's send carjackers to prison for less time if we 122 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: send them to prison at all. By the way, you know, 123 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: maybe they get a suspended sentence, or maybe we just 124 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: drive the charges to a weapon's possession. And by the way, 125 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: the d the DC Police chief rather when he said 126 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: about the eleven Times, notice he says, keep people who 127 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: are violent with guns in prison. Here is where just 128 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: everyone you always need to remember this. This is so important. 129 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: For all their talk about guns and getting illegal guns 130 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: off the streets, Democrats are caught in a bind. They 131 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: have a problem because a vastly disproportionate number of the 132 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: gun arrests in name a major American city affect African 133 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: American defendants. Ye, so they don't actually want to send 134 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: people who are carrying illegal guns in cities to prison 135 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: for a long time because it's going to have a 136 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: disproportioned impact on the black community in their city. So 137 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: what do they do. They talk about banning aar fifteens 138 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: at the national level, and at the local level, they're 139 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: letting people get off with guns with nothing. They in 140 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: Philadelphia lay half of the gun of the gun possession 141 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: illegal possession. I think it was felon in possession Krasner 142 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: just said, yeah, we're not going to charge it. And 143 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: if you want to know the panic that has set in, 144 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't think this is a coincidence. We saw Lori 145 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: Lightfoot get absolutely walloped in Chicago over the crime issue. 146 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: So putting this into the context of Democrats being extremely 147 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: soft on crime, I think the Biden administration panicked here. 148 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: And let me explain what I think happened. So the 149 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: House votes against repealing Most Democrats, I think one hundred 150 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: and seventy Democrats in the House voted against repealing this 151 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: soft on crime bill that was passed by the DC Council. 152 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: And for everybody out there who's forgotten, Buck and I 153 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: both lived in DC, so we experienced this to some degree. 154 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: Every law in DC, because they are not a state, 155 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: is subject to federal review and oversight. So Republicans have 156 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: taken control of the House, they see this bill. One 157 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: of the Democrat congresswomen, by the way, was just a 158 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: victim of being attacked on our way to work. I 159 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: think one hundred and seventies. Still Democrats say we're not 160 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: gonna rescind this bill. We're gonna let DC get even 161 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: softer on crime. It passes the House. It then is 162 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: going into the Senate. The Biden administration comes out and says, 163 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: we're not going to veto this, We're gonna allow it 164 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: to become law. So all of those Democrats who voted 165 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: in favor of DC are now getting their legs cut 166 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: out from underneath them. Senator Schumer yesterday, I believe, or 167 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: the day before, Buck came out and said, yeah, you 168 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: know what, I'm actually going to support overturning this law too. 169 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: So Biden led all of these Democrats in the House, 170 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's gotten enough attention. He didn't 171 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: tell them in advance, Hey, I'm not going to veto 172 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: this bill. He had all of them line up supporting 173 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: soft on crime policies by and large, and the Democrat 174 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: he's some flip, but not very many. And now the 175 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: Senate is going to support it, this Republican move, and 176 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: Biden's not going to veto it. So Biden, effectively, and 177 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: this is a big deal to bolster his own reelection chances, 178 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: cut the legs out from underneath all of these House 179 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: Democrats who marched out there saying this is an equity issue. 180 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: We've got to protect criminals. We're not going to change 181 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: this law that DC's counsel passed, and Biden said, oh, 182 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: by the way, I am because I want to get 183 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: elected and just slice the legs right out from underneath 184 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: his base, and they are furious at him. I think 185 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: it's a smart move by Biden. But I think he 186 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: let his base right over the middle and let him 187 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: get decked. Oh. Absolutely. And Biden, let's not forget he's cunning. 188 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: He's not right, but he's cunning. He has those long time, 189 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, decades long experience in politics where he understands 190 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: what's going to benefit it first and foremost. Joe Biden, 191 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: this was the right move for This is the right 192 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: move for him. And would I would add into this 193 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: because I think that this is so important. I've been 194 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: very harsh, as somebody who has lived in New York 195 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: for over thirty years, right in Manhattan, in New York City, 196 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: very harsh on I think deservedly so on Mayor Adams. 197 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: In his first year. However, the issue of subway crime 198 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: got to be so extreme, and it's the arteries of 199 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: New York City are the subway system. Without the subway, 200 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: you can't even begin to get enough people into work 201 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: and go into school and everything else, so people have 202 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: to be comfortable taking the subway or else the city 203 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: is just a giant traffic jam. And it already is that, 204 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: but I mean it's a traffic jam that doesn't move 205 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: without the subway. So what do they do? And this 206 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: is with a hocal by the way, also pushing for 207 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: this because she was starting to get a lot of 208 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: heat and Zelden was gaining ground on this when she 209 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: was up for reelection. Play. They put more cops on 210 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: the subway system and and this is a really important 211 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: part of it. They said, you enforce the laws. So 212 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: guess what. They cracked down on fair evasion. It's like 213 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: we're living the Giuliani era in the nineteen nineties, just 214 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: a little tiny piece of it, but we're seeing the 215 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel, and it's like 216 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: Giuliani is kind of waving to us, like, hey, guys, 217 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: here's the way. Because they gave out ten thousand more 218 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: summons is on the subway in the so far this 219 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: year whatever it is two months into this year compared 220 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: to last year. So they put more cops on the 221 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: subway system and told them we've got your back. You 222 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: enforce every law. Someone jumps a turnstile, you grab them, 223 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: you give them a someone's summons, someone, you know whatever. 224 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: Someone breaks the law in any capacity, you actually enforce 225 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: the law. Well, guess what subway crime year to year 226 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: right now is down twenty one percent across all cazing 227 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: that works. Isn't it crazy? You put more cops in 228 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: the place where you need them, you tell them that 229 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: they can do their jobs, and you have less criminal 230 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: craziness going on. Adam, maybe Adams, Maybe Adams has decided 231 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: he actually wants to be a good mayor, at least 232 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: on the crime issue. Maybe he started number is crime, right, Like, 233 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: that's literally the most important job. I would say, it 234 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: is protecting the lives of your citizens inside of your cities. 235 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: Nothing else matters outside of that. In my opinion, that's 236 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: number one. It's very true, my friends, very important. Everybody 237 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: sees where this data. Also, they'll do things and not 238 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: admit that we were right. Always understand. They're never gonna say, 239 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the Republicans were right. No, they'll just 240 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: start to do things in some places that work and 241 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: act like they came up with the idea. Clay and 242 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: Ivan sitting here screaming, shouting, pounding the table. You need 243 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: to enforce the law, you need to lock up criminals, 244 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: you need to actually take public safety seriously. Some Democrats 245 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: are gonna are gonna see reality on this one, but 246 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: they're never going to admit that we were right.

You may be hearing all these stories out 274 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: there from the lid media about how Ron DeSantis is 275 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: banning books. Oh my gosh, the books are all being banned, 276 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: and this may conjure up if someone were to hear 277 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: this and not know the context that there are. You know, 278 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: DeSantis stormtroopers going around to different bookstores and life they 279 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: go into Barnes and Noble and they just grab a 280 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: whole stack of stuff and they no, no, no, none 281 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: of that is actually happening, as you all know. But 282 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: the way the media talks about it is meant to 283 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: be as much a lie as say, they're calling the 284 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: parental rights an education bill in Florida, the don't say 285 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: gay bill. They're just lying. It doesn't even say gay 286 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: in the bill, so how could it be a don't 287 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: say gay bill. Point being here, folks, the propaganda that 288 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: they are deploying against the discantists efforts here is of 289 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: the most dishonest and disgraceful kind. And he's had enough 290 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: of it, and as is his habit, he is taking 291 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: the fight to the media on this. So let's let's 292 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: discuss what's going on here. There are there are schools 293 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: out there that in Florida and in many states. By 294 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: the way, if you're living at a red state, you're 295 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: probably thinking, oh, that's that's something that No, No, it's 296 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: happening in your state too. It's happening all over the country. 297 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: What you find is that there are books that are 298 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: highly inappropriate for children that are in the classroom, and 299 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: this keeps happening. We had Carol Mark Whitz on Yesterdays. 300 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: He's got a great book, Stolen Youth, whicheverbody should check out. 301 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: She goes into this and Ronda Santist to prove this point. 302 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: It's not about banning a book as in, we don't 303 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: think this should be sold on Amazon, or we think 304 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: that this should be you know, burned in a pile 305 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: in the backyard, and nobody should ever be allowed to 306 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: see this. People want to write, you know, weird, trashy, 307 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: gross books or novels there, that's that's on them. Publishers 308 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: want to publish it, that's on them. But when it 309 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: comes to what children see, I think we can all 310 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: agree there should be some editorial hand in protecting them 311 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: from deeply not just deeply political, deeply sexualized agenda items. 312 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: And this is where Ronda Santists was in oh was it? 313 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: He was in Tampa yesterday and he started reading from 314 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: some or rather there was a presentation about some of 315 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: these books that have been banned Plate twenty one. When 316 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: they try to say that somehow like like like the 317 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: books being quote banned, like adults can can do what 318 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: they want on this stuff. That's that's available for everybody. 319 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: You know, some of that stuff would not be entertaining 320 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: for me, But that's fine. I mean, like, you know, 321 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: you have the ability as adult to make your decisions, 322 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: but you know, eight year olds, nine year olds to 323 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: have that thrust in them is not something that's appropriate. 324 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: And you know, also you just many just mentioned, like 325 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: you know, they try to whatever they can use. A 326 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: kajul gets me just because I'm a target. That's fine, Clay. 327 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: They're going after them, as I understand it. Yesterday they 328 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: were reading from some of these books and the media 329 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: organizations had to pull away because of how graphics some 330 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: of the content was. Yeah, and again, I just think 331 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: Republicans are not doing a good job of explaining on this. 332 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: And I don't really think it's very complicated. And I've 333 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: been saying this, but I know a lot of staffers 334 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: out there listen. I know a lot of politicians themselves, 335 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: as they're out driving around in their districts, they'll listen 336 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: to this show. And we appreciate that this is not 337 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: a censorship story. It is being conveyed as if it 338 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: is a censorship story. What really is going on is 339 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: there is a decision being made about what age appropriate 340 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: books should be available, in particular in elementary school libraries. 341 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: And if you put it in the context, that's why 342 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: I just immediately pull it out and say, put in 343 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: the context of movies. No one ever argues R rated 344 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: movies are being banned from kids. Right, most young kids 345 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: don't see R rated movies because the parents, look, oh, 346 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: that's a rated R movie. It's probably inappropriate for my 347 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: six or seven year old, but I, as an adult, 348 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: may go to that movie. That's all that's going on 349 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: here is parents are looking and saying, this is not 350 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: a book that belongs in a library. And I give 351 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: credit to the De Santis camp for coming out and 352 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: reading some of these books and literally making some of 353 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: this video cut away because it's FCC violations potentially for 354 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: them to be sharing some of it. If you can't 355 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: put it on a local television broadcast, then it probably 356 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: isn't appropriate for a second or third grader, or God 357 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: forbid a first grader to be reading. And that is 358 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: all that's going on here. And when people understand that 359 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: that's the job of parents. We have to decide what 360 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: is age appropriate for our kids. It's one of the 361 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: most important jobs that we have. I think we could 362 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: just call these common sense pornographic material restrictions. You know, 363 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: let's let's come up with a term, because that's what 364 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: this is. It is restricting by age access to material 365 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: that is highly highly sexualized. To your point, you could 366 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: do the same thing. Uh, you know, you bring it 367 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: up with movies. Would it be honest if somebody said 368 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: that enforcing a twenty one to buy alcohol law is 369 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: that banning alcohol alcohol. It's saying that people have a 370 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: certain age. Can you know you haven't banned alcohol. No 371 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: book has been banned, So the word band should not. 372 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 1: We should ban the use of the word ban in 373 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: this context because it's a lie. And if you want 374 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: to know some of the books that are the New 375 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: Yorker is trying to write, you know, the New Yorker 376 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: is just left wing propaganda with bigger words than you 377 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: usually see. And they try to pick out some of 378 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: the books that are included in this, so you know, 379 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: there's some of the stuff that has been called into 380 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: question is the very explicit content in books like The 381 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: fifty seven Bus, which is a nonfiction young adult book 382 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: about an a gender teenager whose skirt gets set on 383 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: fire by another teen and the hate you give, a 384 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: popular fiction story about the aftermath of the shooting of 385 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: a young black man by a white police officer. I mean, 386 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: you're you're assigning this stuff to kids in the sixth grade. 387 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think there's I think there's better 388 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: stuff to be assigning children who are still learning to 389 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: read at a high level and still learning to process 390 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: information and need to learn history and literature and reason 391 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: and logic. No, let's have them read about imaginary people 392 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: being shot in racist murders by police officers. This is 393 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: the stuff that's being pulled out of the schools. And again, 394 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: if you are a parent and you see this and 395 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: you say, my goodness, it is incredibly important for my 396 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: child's education that they read this book. No one is 397 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: stopping you from going and getting the book and bringing 398 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: it into your household. There is no ban. This is 399 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: what the word ban is automatically designed to create, to 400 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: connote the idea that there's some sort of massive restriction 401 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: that is going on, and it doesn't actually exist, because 402 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: to your point, alcohol is not banned when you have 403 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: to be twenty one to consume it. R rated movies 404 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: are not banned when you have to be eighteen years 405 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: old to buy your own ticket for the R rated movie. 406 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: Those exist. There's just age appropriateness associated with those objects. 407 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: You know. I may think that the five day waiting 408 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: period you pick up my AR fifteen was stupid, but 409 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: it would not be honest for me to come on 410 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: and say that my buying of the AR fifteen was banned. 411 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: It is not banned. There is some restriction on my 412 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: access to it. So that word is a very specific 413 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: thing as a very specific connotation. And by the way, 414 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: here is Descantis again about what this is really meant 415 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: to be, which is preventing there's a very clear agenda 416 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: from the left, from the Democrats to introduce highly not 417 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: just sexual, controversial and sexual you know, oh, you know, 418 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: seven year olds should know what pan sexuality is. All 419 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: this crazy stuff out there, there's an agenda to do 420 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: what Dessant is saying. Look in floridat least they're gonna 421 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: protect kids from this play twenty. What you've seen is 422 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: a lot of false narratives put out. And I think 423 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: though there is a concerted effort to bring some of 424 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: this sexualization into the classroom, particularly in these young grades. 425 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we did do Parents' Rights and Education Bill, 426 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: as think as many of you know, but even when 427 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about twelve thirteen year olds, to see some 428 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: of that stuff in there, I think most parents would 429 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: say absolutely not. You know, parents can have those discussions 430 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: when they think it's appropriate with their kid, but to 431 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: have that is wrong. I'm not interested play in hearing 432 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: the opinions on what books are appropriate for small children. 433 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear the opinions of the same 434 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: activists and the same idealogues that think that, you know, 435 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: a forty five year old man shaking his butt in 436 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: a thong and fishnets in front of small children because 437 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: he's in drag is somehow appropriate. Like there's something twisted 438 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: and wrong on the left, and we all see it. Buck, 439 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: I'm old man. As you like to point out, we 440 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 1: got the Internet in school before I had the Internet 441 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: at home. Some this may shock you. Some teenage boys 442 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: in my school figured out there was pornography on the Internet, 443 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: and they went and started looking up pornography on school computer. 444 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: Probably not very smart. This is early in the days 445 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: of the internet, right, like nineteen ninety five, nineteen ninety 446 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: six era. You know what the school did. They banned 447 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:15,959 Speaker 1: accessing pornography on school computers. That seems totally rational, right, 448 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: Like everybody out there, the idea that your kid could 449 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: sit down in a computer lab and look up pornography 450 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: at school is unacceptable. And the democrats here are basically 451 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: arguing that that act classy. It's there, it's practically North Korea. 452 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: What is Kim Jong n ordering a crackdown on accessing 453 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: porn in the schools. That's what they're arguing. That's the point. 454 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: I mean, that's crazy. And I sit here and I 455 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: think I can't imagine any parent of any same parent 456 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: I should say saying yeah, I want my kids looking 457 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: up pornography on school computers, especially in elementary school. But really, 458 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: at any age, why in the world would you want 459 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: the same pornography available in a book. Just something to 460 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: think about, you know, all about how woke active as 461 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: sees control of America's schools. Now, a group of investment 462 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: firms Americans in trust with our pensions and retirements, are 463 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: playing woke politics with your money without our knowledge or consent. 464 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: A few large investment firms names you know, control trillions 465 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: of dollars of your money, and they're using those dollars 466 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: to advance their woke ideology through a progressive social scoring 467 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: program called ESG. They claim it promotes corporate responsibility, but 468 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: what they're really doing is using americans hard earned money 469 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: to finance their political agendas, forcing businesses to comply or else. 470 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: Some state leaders are fighting back and more are joining up, 471 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: letting those investment firms know they can't play politics with 472 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: our pensions. They can either do their jobs, maximize returns 473 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: for shareholders, or get lost.

You are our good friend. 483 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: Congressman Jim Jordan has just been going off as the 484 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: COVID lab leak theory, which buck Sexton, myself, We've been 485 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: talking about this for years. All of a sudden, people 486 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: are like, oh, yeah, the government lied to you and 487 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: everybody out there trying to claim that this was naturally 488 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: occurring in because of some animals somewhere. Jim, what have 489 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: you seen change of late with the Department of energy 490 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: the FBI. I know you're having hearings with a lot 491 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: of highly educated people in the field of science saying, yes, 492 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: this actually did come out of a lab. How are 493 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: you seeing the narrative shift and what is important about this? Well, no, 494 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: a great question that that's what happened to here. But 495 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: but you're first of all, you guys were right, you 496 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: were way ahead of the curve with this from you know, 497 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: years ago. But today in the committee one of the 498 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: Democrats said we should entertain all hypothesis. Doctor Fauchi had 499 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: this hypothesis. Others had their should entertain all. But that's 500 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: not what happened three years ago. If you suggest that 501 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: it came from a lab, you were called a nut job, 502 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: a crackpot, You were called all kinds of things. You 503 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: were censored online. The media called you names and and 504 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: and even the guys, the virologists who sent doctor Fauchi 505 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: emails right at the start of this late January and 506 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: on February first, the guys are in an email even 507 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: they change their position and called us crackpots and crazies. 508 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: Because I think they change your position because they got 509 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, they had, as I said in committee, they 510 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: had nine million reasons to change their their their position, 511 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: because three months after they do, they get a nine 512 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: million dollars grand from doctor Fauchi. So yeah, that's that's 513 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: the change. Democrats are now say, well, it could be 514 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: either one. We should we should all work together, look forward, 515 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: focus on the future. Boulogney, you guys called us all 516 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: kinds of names, and we want to know exactly what 517 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: was going on at the time that you were doing 518 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: those sort of things. Connaston Jordan's buck, thanks for being 519 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: with us. Is there any legislation? I know obviously now 520 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: Senate White House can't get through, but we're going into 521 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: an election year. Things could change in twenty twenty four, 522 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: and I feel like now it's a good time to 523 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: figure out how we could codify in law action in 524 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: response to the lunacy of whether it's the suppression over 525 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: the lab leak theory or any of these COVID measures. 526 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: Are you talking to fellow Republicans about anything that you 527 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: would want to pass into line. I know, for example, 528 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: Rhnda Santist down in Florida, he's using Now he's got 529 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 1: a supermajority, I get it, but he's going to use 530 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: a legislature to create all kinds of impediments to future 531 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: COVID lunacy, whether it's the mandate censorship, any of that. 532 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: Do you guys have anything that's cooking? Well? Step one 533 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: should the outlaw gain a function research? I mean, understand 534 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: what happened. We sent our tax dollars to a lab 535 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: in China that wasn't to code, that was doing gain 536 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: a function research, and that's where the labor the league 537 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: came from. Well, for goodness sake, why are we sending 538 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: it to China, Why are we sending to a lab 539 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: not up to code, and why are they doing gain 540 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: a function research? You know period, you know, anywhere, but 541 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: certainly not in China, So that that definitely needs to 542 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: be be passed other legislats. I'm open all kinds of 543 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: things that that makes sense, but that one in and 544 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: then you know, you can't have like I know, our 545 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: state said, okay, in an emergency, the government, the governor 546 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: has limited authority or has authority for a limited amount 547 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: of time. But if they're going to lockdown your stinking 548 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: state forever, for goodness sake, that is a decision that 549 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: should be made by the legislature, by the General Assembly. 550 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: The people who are there to represent the people. We 551 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: the people in their in their in their state legislature. 552 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: So we are states done that. That's the kind of 553 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: thing that should happen at the states. That's kind of 554 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: thing that Governor and Fantasy is focusing on in Florida. 555 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: But from the federal level, what are we funding gain 556 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: a function research and why in the world will we 557 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: be doing it in China? Amen? And it's probably not 558 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: a coincidence that the guy who was funding gain a 559 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: function research with our tax dollars to Chinese labs would 560 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: immediately say, oh, this had to come from animals as 561 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: soon as COVID started to emerge in China. I mean again, 562 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: I think it's easy to draw that correlation why doctor 563 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: Fauci would not be embracing the actual science and instead 564 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: being trying to protect his reputation and in his history 565 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: place exactly right, so much so that the Task Force 566 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: on Coronavirus was created on January twenty ninth. Doctor Redfield, 567 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: the head of the CDC, is on that pass force. 568 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: Two days later, doctor Fouchie gets an email that says 569 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: virus looks engineer, not consistent with evolutionary theory. Fousci doesn't 570 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: share that with doctor Redfield. Doctor Redfield's not invited on 571 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: the conference call the next day, where doctor Gary also 572 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: says that same day, February first, twenty twenty, that I 573 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: don't know how this happens to nature, but it'd be 574 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: easy to do in a lab. Doctor Redchield's not given 575 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: access to that email, kept off the conference call, kept 576 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: out of the loop, and doctor Foussi get to those 577 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: two virologists Anderson and Gary to change their position three 578 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: days later, and they call you me buck. Anyone who's 579 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: questioning that this thing may it may not have come 580 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: from nature, may have come from less. They call us 581 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: all crackpots, even though they believe it themselves. Now, why 582 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: would they change their position Because doctor Faucie, the highest 583 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: paid guy in our government's been in our government like 584 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: a thousand years, hands out all this money. He's in 585 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,719 Speaker 1: millions of dollars. They wanted the grant money and they 586 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: got nine million dollars for changing their tomb. That is sick, 587 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: but our government did that. I'm one hundred percent convinced 588 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: of it. Speaking to Jim Jordan, Congressman from Ohio, Congressman, 589 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: what are you hoping to get out of these hearings. 590 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean, what are some of the areas because for 591 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: me at this point, yeah, it's important for accountability and 592 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: just to get the facts on the record. But are 593 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: there areas that you're chasing down or hoping to get 594 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: to where you think we could get some new information 595 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: about just all of the fauciite lunacy from lab leak 596 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: to vaccine mandates and everything in between. Questions, Great question, buck. 597 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: We're a legislative body, We're the Congress, So our job 598 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: is to get facts on the table, proposed legislation, and 599 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: then if we have to use the appropriation process to 600 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: further influence these agencies that we're doing stupid things. So 601 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: that is how this works. So the first to do 602 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: is get the facts on the table, continue to do that, 603 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: continue to expose everything that went on, and then say, okay, 604 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: you know what, let's how a bill that says we 605 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing gain a function research. Let's do that. 606 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: Let's pack that legislation. And oh, by the way, we 607 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,479 Speaker 1: think maybe some of the funds that went to some 608 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: of these people who were involved, maybe we should change 609 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: how those funds are appropriated and where they go and 610 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: what they're used for. That's our job, and we need 611 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: to spell that all out. But in order to lay 612 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: the groundwork and the framework, you first get the facts 613 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: on this. That's what we're doing in the Judiciary Committee 614 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: with the weapon is the Select Committee and the full 615 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: JUI Judiciary Committee with this attack by the agencies on 616 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: the very people they're supposed to serve. We had a 617 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: great example, by the way, yesterday, I mean I just 618 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: changed it, but but yesterday the FTCY must took over Twitter. 619 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: The FTC send him a letter. After eleven days after 620 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: the first Twitter file, they send a letter to Elon 621 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: Musk and Twitter and said and said, think about eleven 622 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: days later, they say, who are the journalists you're talking to? 623 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: They named for journalists personally. Now, if that is not 624 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: a direct assault on the First Tendment freedom of the press, 625 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what is. This is what's going on. 626 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: So step one again is get the facts on the 627 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: table so we can propose legislation and then use the 628 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: appropriation process to limit what these agencies, out of control 629 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: agencies are doing. Yeah, that's what I was going to 630 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: ask you. Next Congressman, we're talking to Jim Jordan, a 631 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: congressman from Ohio, so the FTC is coming after Elon Musk. Also, 632 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw Chuck Schumer went on the floor 633 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: of the Senate and demanded that Rupert Murdoch's censor what 634 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson was able to say on his show, take 635 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: it outside of politics. You know this, You've been in 636 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: politics for a while. If any Republican did what the 637 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: Biden administration is doing and what the Senate Majority leader 638 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: is doing, like if you went on the floor and said, 639 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: there's no way MSNBC should be able to show any 640 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: of these videos from ja Nary six, I'm demanding that 641 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: whoever owns MSNBC, I guess Comcast, right, I'm not even 642 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: sure who owns MSNBC honestly, uh that that they not 643 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: allow this to be aired. It would be the number 644 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: one story in America and you would be, you know, 645 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: basically a book burner. Yet Schumer does it, and the 646 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: FTC does it, and these same people say virtually nothing. Yeah, 647 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, the same guy stood on the steps of 648 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and said, Cavanaugh Vorsis, you will face 649 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: the whirlwind. Chuck Schumer yesterday says to Rupert Murdoch, take 650 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: this stuff that don't let them, don't let Fox air. 651 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: And it's I think it's also somewhat ironic that that 652 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: same day he's doing that's the day we learned that 653 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: the FDC is targeted. Elon musk All this yes, this 654 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 1: is and and this is why we have a Select 655 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: Committee focused on agencies targeting the American people, the American 656 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: people who pay their salaries, who they're supposed to serve. 657 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: And then they're targeting people. That is what's so wrong. 658 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: And you're one hundred percent right. If this is a 659 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: Republicans doing this, Oh, the outrage the New York Times, 660 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, democracy dies in darkness, that they would be 661 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: going like crazy on this. Now it's it's funny because 662 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: it was frump page of the Wall Street Journal, the 663 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: FTC story.
