1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: We're talking about the Harris Faulkner town hall and the 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: way that many women are reacting to their daughters being 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: forced to compete against men, to men being allowed to 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: enter their locker rooms. Harris Faulkner asks, in that town 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: hall filled with only women, I'd encourage you guys to 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: go look at watch it and maybe share it with 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: women voters out there who are open to voting for 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: Trump and maybe considering not doing it. But Harris Faulkner asked, 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: how many women in the audience are concerned that their 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: daughters may have to compete against men? Every hand goes 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: up this issue. Initially men were like me, we're driving 12 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: it because we saw it as crazy. And men tend 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: to in general be bigger sports fans than women, and 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: I think men understand the concept of men being bigger, stronger, 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: and faster, particularly if you played sports than women did. 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: But now, thanks to many people think Riley Gain speaking out, 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: women are finding their own voice on this issue. And 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: I think a lot of women were afraid that they 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: weren't being kind enough, or they weren't being caring or 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: empathetic enough for the trans community. And that moment is 21 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: passed and women are taking a substantial lead and talking 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: about this issue. And I think Riley Gains, Jennifer Say, 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: who is out there, former women's gymnast who has her 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: own clothing company. I think a lot of women's athletes 25 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: are saying enough is enough. We're not going to stand 26 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: for that. And it's going on right now in the 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: battleground state of Nevada where women's volleyball team said we 28 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: don't want to play against San Jose State University that 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: has a man that is dominating women's college volleyball on 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: the team, and a lot of women are saying, we're 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: not playing in a match if they're going to have 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: a man competing against us. 33 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: It's just not fair. 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: I also just wait for there to be a real 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: defense of this practice. Notice that whenever it comes up, 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: they're these there's these steps that the left will go through. 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen that often. Why is it such a 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: big deal to you? Why are you being so mean? 39 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: Why can't you just be inclusive? They won't address the 40 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: core issue, which is not only is this unfair, biologically unfair? 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean why even have why have age differences in sports? 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: Why not let sixteen year olds play ten year olds 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: in soccer or basketball? Yeah, exactly, you know why not? 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, why do we have these separations because we're 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: trying to create some baseline of biologically based fairness and 46 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: they can't actually address this or what do they do? 47 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: They attack? 48 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: It's a little bit like what I dealt with on 49 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: the Bill Marshow. I'm smoking them on all the arguments. 50 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: So it's like, well you're not like that, cool? Yeah, 51 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: well what does that have. 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: To do with anything? 53 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: I mean, they can't make a coherent defense of any 54 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: of this, and in a sense, Kamala, I'm going to 55 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: offer something up. 56 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: Clay. Kamala is actually the perfect. 57 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: Candidate for this moment in Democrat politics because her incoherence 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: on everything, the fact that she stands for nothing except 59 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: power is a perfect encapsulation of what the Democrat Party 60 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: of today is. 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: And the fact that she says. 62 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: Her principles haven't changed when she's changed her mind on 63 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: everything is a perfect a perfect overview of where the 64 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: Democrat Party is right now. Nothing makes sense and it's 65 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: not supposed to shut up and let them run your life. 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: We've got another cut that I wanted to play. We 67 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: mentioned that Kamala did a town hall, and every time 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: she does one of these interviews, there is a question 69 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: that to me becomes a central negativity associated with the 70 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: interview that she did, whether there's not a thing she 71 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: would change from the view and Colbet most recently, every 72 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: time she speaks she says something that turns off a 73 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: large majority of the population. I think that's why they 74 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: hit her to such an extent. But Buck, she was 75 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: asked about reparations. She in the past has said that 76 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: she believes reparation should happen. California studied the issue and 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: even Gavin Newsom said, yeah, I understand the recommendation, but no, California, 78 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: which never permitted slavery, by the way, and has a 79 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: relatively small as a percentage of the population overall black population. 80 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: I think California is only six or eight percent black. 81 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: Buck. 82 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: That sometimes surprises people large Asian, large Hispanic, large white population, 83 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: but not that large of a black population. But she 84 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: was asked and Gavin Newsom said, the cost on this 85 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: is just outrageous. 86 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: There's no way we can do it. 87 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: Basically, thanks for the recommendation, but we're not going to 88 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: do it. 89 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: She said, we need to study it. 90 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Cost estimates around twelve trillion dollars for reparations. Buck, here's 91 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: Kamala on racial reparations. 92 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm running to be a president for all Americans. 93 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: That being said, I do have clear eyes about the 94 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: disparities that exist and the context in which they exist, 95 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: meaning history to your point. So my agenda, well, first 96 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: of all, on the point of reparations, it has to 97 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 3: be studied. There's no question about that. And I've been 98 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: very clear about that position. 99 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about this. First of all. 100 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: I love when she says I've been very clear when 101 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: she gives a non answer. This should be like if 102 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: you were like if Clay asked me, He's like, Buck, 103 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: what do you think about this? And I was like, 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: I played the fifth as I have been very clear 105 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: about my answer. It's like, well, you're not answering. Actually, 106 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: you're choosing to give a total non answer. In this process, 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: a few things that would come up, and this is 108 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: one of reparations I might add to the national electorate. 109 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: Incredibly unpopular, eighty twenty against at least, yeah, eighty twenty 110 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: against at least for obvious reasons. A lot of people 111 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: oppose this. But if you're going to have reparations. Here 112 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: are the questions have to ask, who gets them? What 113 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: do you have to do to qualify for them? 114 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: How much? 115 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: So? 116 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: Questions like, if you're a quarter African American, do you 117 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: do you get like twenty five percent of what the 118 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: full reparations package would be? You know, how far back 119 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: do you go? I mean, if you're half African American, 120 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: let's say you get a different percent. These are the 121 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: questions you would have to answer. If you are a 122 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: Nigerian immigrants, do the United States have a higher than 123 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: most groups in this country household income? But would they 124 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: know they wouldn't qualify for reparations? Okay, well who does? 125 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: Who doesn't? At what point do you start to make 126 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: these distinctions or rather how far back do you have 127 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: to go? 128 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: And the other part of the clay is it's. 129 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: Immoral because you're taking money from people today with the 130 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: force of the state based on some historical you know, 131 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: some historical story. And then also it's never enough. This 132 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: is the part of it that everybody knows, right, there 133 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: would never be enough money in this program, just like 134 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: all other redistribution of wealth programs. It's never enough to 135 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: deal with the problem. Well, I mean it's it's messy 136 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: on so many different levels. To your point, you have 137 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: to do percentage analysis, right, because huge percentages of the 138 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: people who live in America here were not in America 139 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: when slavery occurred. So if you're an immigrant from from China, 140 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: why in the world should you be paying reparations to 141 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: black people? It makes no sense, right, So it's the 142 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: huge percentage population wasn't here. Also, just you know, Jews 143 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 1: who fled the Holocaust in the Second World War, okay, 144 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: you just got here in like nineteen fifty or you know, 145 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: nineteen forty whatever, they would be paying reparations, among many 146 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: other people, to the black community for slavery that has 147 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: been outlawed for one hundred and fifty years. 148 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: Okay. 149 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: I also always enjoy two other points. One, I'm a 150 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: history nerd. So are we just forgetting the hundreds of 151 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: thousands of people who died in the Civil War? I 152 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: got an ancestor who died fighting in the Civil War. 153 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: He was motivated in some way over the issue of slavery. 154 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: Those people's lives don't matter. Some of us, literally who 155 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: are white, carry the blood of people who fought in 156 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: the Civil War on both sides and that's a whole 157 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: historical mess in and of itself. But those guys who 158 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: actually gave their lives, some of them to enslavery, don't count, right. 159 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: I think you'd have a very fair point if we're 160 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: going to do this. Historical ancestry is something you're responsible for. 161 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: You know, my family are Irish immigrants, and the Irish 162 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: side that got here into the North, it's very likely 163 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: they fought for the Union. So am I exempted? 164 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: Right? Do you get credited? 165 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Do you get credited because you had Union soldiers who 166 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,599 Speaker 1: fought in your background. Here's the other thing buck that 167 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: nobody really wants to talk about. Well, shouldn't Africa pay 168 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: a substantial amount of the reparations here? Since the slaves 169 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: were initially enslaved in Africa and Africans profited immensely off 170 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: the slave trade, It's as if there is no reparations 171 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: responsibility for. 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,359 Speaker 2: That aspect of the slave trade. 173 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: I also think that you know, you can look at 174 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: the closest thing that we've had in this country to 175 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: something along the lines of there are also people who, 176 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: by the way, I would I would point out, would 177 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: would claim that overall, you know, the welfare state that 178 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: this country has been supporting for the last seventy years 179 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: or so. 180 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: Is a form of. 181 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: Not even just for the African American community, but across 182 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: the board, meant to repair historical injustices by for dispossessed communities. 183 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: And I mean, and you know, it's been a lot 184 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: of money. It's the point, right, there's already a lot 185 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: of money that is going to help people in this country. 186 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: We have a trillion dollar Welfares STA in this country. 187 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: Beyond that, though, you look at the Native American population 188 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: in the you know Indian population, I think it's in 189 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: we're supposed are we supposed to call them? 190 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: Now? 191 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: The you know indigenous tribes, The name keeps changing, which 192 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: I think is just meant to see who will be who. 193 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: It's obedience training for the rest of us. I might add, 194 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, you're not You're not supposed to say Eskimo 195 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: anymore because Eskimo is only one tribe and they prefer 196 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: I think more generally Inuit or Alaska listeners. We've got 197 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: a great station up up in Anchorage. They would know 198 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: more about this than I do. But oh, you know, 199 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: if you say Eskimo, you're being rude. I mean, we 200 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: can't keep up with all this. What's the name? Tough 201 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: to know the name because no written language, you know, 202 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: not a lot of textual basis for this stuff. But 203 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: on the Native American reservations clay across the country, this 204 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: has been a program for a long time, and there 205 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: have been special incentives given to those communities, and we 206 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: as a country, we never even really look at Native 207 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: American reservations are a horrible state of affairs when you 208 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: look at things like domestic abuse, alcoholism, violent crime per capita. 209 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 2: These are not happy places. They're reservations. 210 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: And then we have people in Oklahoma listening who know 211 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: exactly about this. We've had the governor of Oklahoma, who 212 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 1: himself is a Native American by the way, member of 213 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: a tribe, Kevin Stitt. And this is not a program 214 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: that has been successful at all really when you look 215 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: at it. So why would we do these sort of 216 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: race based preference programs, especially after the Constitution has already 217 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: told us that an admissions it's bad, in region, distribution 218 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: of wealth it's good. 219 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: Makes no sense. 220 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: I would also add, historically, buck and this really gets 221 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: people all flummoxed. Remember we were a colony of great, 222 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: great Britain for the vast majority of time that there 223 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: was slavery in the United States. Why should the United 224 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: States be responsible from sixteen nineteen to seventeen seventy six 225 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: or seventeen eighty three, England should have to pay all 226 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: of the reparations to slaves in the United States because 227 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: England was the power here. We were colonies. We were 228 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: until we revolted. We didn't have democracy in this country. 229 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: So I never hear anybody say, Okay, well, England is 230 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: on the hook. We only had legal slavery in the 231 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: United States for eighty years, and to your point, seventeen 232 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: eighty three to eighteen sixty three. To your point, buck, 233 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: we've since had the welfare state, which to a large 234 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: extent since the nineteen sixties has existed with the idea 235 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: being that we're going to provide some form of compensation 236 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: and redress to people who were discrim against. We've had 237 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: the welfare state and the Civil Rights era almost as 238 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: long now in the United States since we had slavery. 239 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: So anyway, I just loved the history of it. Very 240 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: few people actually dive into it, which is why, on 241 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: its face, eighty percent of some aut Americans say this 242 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: is a joke. Kamala believes it should happen in twenty nineteen, 243 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: and she's saying now it should be studied still in 244 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Again another swinging amiss. Look, this is 245 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: the time of the year when leaves start to pile 246 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: up in the yard and they start to change colors 247 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: all over the country, and you may notice it because 248 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood, as in mind, people may start leaf 249 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: blowers at insanely early hours. I don't know when this 250 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: practice became commonplace. Seven am leaf blowers out. Are you 251 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: with me on this? It's crazy? Every time I want 252 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: to sleep in, every time the leaf blowers find me. 253 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: There needs to be a leaf blower constitution where nobody 254 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: can leaf blow till like nine am, but out at 255 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: seven am blowing leaves like crazy. And if you are 256 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: dealing with leaves in your home, you probably got them 257 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: in your gutters. And given how much rain many places 258 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: have gotten recently, when that rain comes down, it clogs 259 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: the gutters and there are all sorts of issues.

The entire incident was just released. Now, 285 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: this is from I think September. Clay is that when 286 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: the incident happened. 287 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: I believe that's right. 288 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, So oftentimes the body camera footage of a 289 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: police involved lethal force incident is held for a period 290 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: of time. 291 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: The foot come out and it is. 292 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: Of a police officer who is Asian American making a 293 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: wellness check or conducting a wellness check on a woman 294 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: who is You can see in the video she's emotionally disturbed. 295 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: The NYPD parlance, she's called it an EDP and mostly 296 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: disturbed person. He's there to check on her, get her 297 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: help and resources. Knocks on the door. She comes at 298 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: the door very aggressively. Now she is six foot six. 299 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: She had previously been the center on the Georgetown University 300 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: women's basketball team. I think that is also an important 301 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: detail because when you're talking about somebody's ability to harm 302 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: you with any object, but certainly a long looks kind 303 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: of like a like a butcher knife or a kitchen knife. 304 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: Someone six foot six, they have long reach, they have leverage, 305 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: They can kill you very very quickly. The officer is 306 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: yelling to put it down, put it down. 307 00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: Put it down. She does. 308 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: He gets cut numerous times across the face with this blade. 309 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: You can see on the body camera he is dripping blood. Okay, 310 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: and he's shouting for this woman to drop the enough 311 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: and I understand it's clearly having a psychotic episode. He 312 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: pulls his firearm and he shoots her and she dies. 313 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: There are people since this video has come out, and 314 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: I don't mean a few, a lot of them who 315 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: are trying to make the case online that the officer 316 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: did something wrong. This is how completely insane the anti 317 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: cop left and the social justice left and the racial 318 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: justice left, the BLM remnants out there, if you will, 319 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: the remnants of the BLM movement has become that now 320 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: the expectation is that you might just have to get 321 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: stabbed to death if a person of color is having 322 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: a psychotic break and law enforcement shows up. This is 323 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: the new standard that the left seems to want to 324 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: engage in. There are all these people Clay who are saying, oh, well, 325 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: the all officer could have used a taser, or why 326 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: couldn't the officer have done some jiu jitsu or something, 327 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: or what if a person is within the real standard, 328 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: they tell us and CIA is if you're coming from 329 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: the draw, which this officer was. He didn't he didn't 330 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: knock on the door with his firearm in his hands. 331 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: If you're coming out of the draw, it's basically twenty feet. 332 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: If a person is within twenty I think twenty one 333 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: is what they say, but twenty feet effectively, and they 334 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: have an edged weapon. 335 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 2: Even by the time you draw and you. 336 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: Try to try to get target on the threat, you 337 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: were likely to get stabbed. This officer was stabbed numerous times. 338 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: He's dripping blood. He shoots this woman who is trying 339 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: to kill him on video, and it's clear. You can 340 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: see the whole thing, and it's a horrible, violent incident, 341 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: but you can see the whole thing, and there are 342 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: activists and left wing individuals and Democrats and Kamala voters 343 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: who are out there saying that the cop did something wrong. 344 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: I just think this is important content xclay for where 345 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party really is on this issue that they 346 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: will not I mean, people can say whatever, and I 347 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: understand there's always going to be fringe elements in any 348 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: politics that are going to get something wrong. 349 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 2: They're not going to condemn this. 350 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: Why doesn't Kamala Harris put out a statement of solidarity 351 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: with the officer in this case, saying we've seen the 352 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: body camera footage. The officer did nothing wrong. He was 353 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: defending himself. It's a tragic incident. It's no one's celebrating this. 354 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: It's a tragic incident. But the cop did nothing wrong. 355 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: The Democrat party is antique cop and everybody needs to 356 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: remember it. I got something to add here too. Georgetown 357 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Women's basketball put out a tweet saying Georgetown Women's Basketball 358 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: mourns the tragic loss of Sidney Wilson, class of thirteen, 359 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: Forever a Hoya hashtag Hoya saxa with a photo of 360 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: her in her uniform. Should a university send out a 361 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: loss of life message when your your former player tried 362 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: to murder an innocent police officer. I mean, this is 363 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: embarrassing for Georgetown University. And I look, you and I 364 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: both spent a lot of time in DC. Georgetown is 365 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: a fabulous location. It's beautiful. I know people take shots 366 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: at DC. We were just talking about this with your 367 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: dad at dinner recently. I mean, it's a fabulous area. 368 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: It's been historically a fantastic university. But the idea that 369 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: you would send this out from an athletic department account. 370 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: Is I think, frankly, an extreme embarrassment to Georgetown University. Secondly, 371 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: buck And and not connected to this story directly, but 372 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: I was reading the New York Post. We were up 373 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: in New York over the weekend and I screenshoted this 374 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: in the In the New York Post, there is a 375 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: massive article, Uh, the number of NYPD cops assaulted on 376 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: the job has skyrocketed for one percent this year, and 377 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: it's risen steeply for five consecutive years in New York City. 378 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: What is going on here? There's a real war on cops. 379 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: And when you say cops are racist, cops are killing 380 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: innison black people. The response there is not just that 381 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: you're discrediting police, it's that attacking and fighting with them 382 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: is acceptable because they are the bad guy. We are 383 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: creating a culture that attacks police. And also on this 384 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: Georgetown story, Bucket, this is also I think a sign 385 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: of desperation. They're trying to find another George Floyd because 386 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: they're doing poorly with minority voters and they're trying to 387 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: inflame racial tensions, and they wanted to use this Sidney Wilson. 388 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: If this cop didn't have a body cam on, and 389 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: if you couldn't see that she had a big knife 390 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: and she was running at him, they would you know 391 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: what they would have done. They would have said, oh, 392 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: he planted that knife. She never had a knife, She 393 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: was one hundred percent incident. Her family would have come 394 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: out and said she was not a violent person. She 395 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: never would have engaged in this way. They're trying to 396 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: cover it all up. That's what they would have done. 397 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: What body cameras have really done. And this is a 398 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: sensitive subject that a lot of people don't really want 399 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: to talk about, but body cameras for law enforcement have 400 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: saved at this point, just based on incidents that we've 401 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: all seen, hundreds if not thousands, of cops from being maligned, fired, 402 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: and probably imprisoned, yes for things they did not do, 403 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: because the left loves to play this game of the 404 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: cops are usually the bad guys. Now usually, actually that's 405 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: not the case. In fact, ninety nine percent of the 406 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: time when cops have to do a use lethal force, 407 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: it is entirely justified. This is a textbook case of 408 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: justified lethal force. It could there is no such thing 409 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: as forget that he's even a cop. Any human being 410 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: would have been justified in shooting this. And again I 411 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: understand she's having a psychotic episode. She's you don't have 412 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: to die because somebody else is having a psychotic episode. 413 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: That's the bab You have the right of self defense. 414 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: He did not initiate any violence or force. She came 415 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: at him. And I know for a lot of you, 416 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: you're like buck, but this is this is so obvious, 417 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: like why are we even talking about it? Look a 418 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: look at the Georgetown statement, But look at what a 419 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: lot of the activists are saying online. They're trying to 420 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: make this a thing. They're trying to, to Clay's point, 421 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: create a last minute mobilization of particularly the black community. 422 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: And if even with all the facts as they are, 423 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: if you didn't have clear body camera footage, it would 424 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: be cop shot black woman during wellness check. And and 425 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: you know this was a murder, that that is what 426 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: they would be saying. The only reason that this cop, 427 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: who as I said, was dripping blood everywhere, I mean, 428 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: he got stabbed numera, he was slashing at him with 429 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: his knife. The only reason that I'm CONFIDENTI well, first 430 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: of all, you got governor young Kin in Virginia. Thank god, Okay, 431 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: you don't have some communist, lunatic governor at the top 432 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 1: of the law enforcement apparatus, you know. I mean, how 433 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: if this were Minnesota. You know Minnesota loves to throw 434 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: their cops under the bus. Is the Democrat state virgin 435 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: with a Democrat governor Virginia. I think that it's not 436 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: going to get that high. But he is shown to 437 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: have acted entirely, lawfully and reasonably this cop, and thank heavens, 438 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: he had his body camera on or else, Clay, you 439 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: and I both know his life would be over, his 440 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: family would be in hiding because of all the lunatic 441 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: BLM supporters and all the Democrat voters whould be threatening 442 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: their lives over this totally. And it would be interesting 443 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: to talk and I know you have talked to a 444 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: lot of cops. It's more likely, I think, Buck, that 445 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: somebody loses their life because they don't engage in protective 446 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: act because they're worried. 447 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: About their life being ruined. 448 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: If they're wrong, then it is that somebody engaged in 449 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: wrong behavior. But the bodycam is the ultimate truth teller, 450 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: and as long as it's on, there is an opportunity 451 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: for everyone to experience what it's actually like in real 452 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: time to try to be a police officer in this country. 453 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: And it's a really hard job. And when you this 454 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: is why I've had this conversation with my kids, I 455 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: would encourage all of you to have this conversation with 456 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: your kids. I'm speaking as a lawyer. Now, if a 457 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 1: police officer engages in behavior that you believe is unlawful, 458 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: the best thing to do is comply still and prepare 459 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: to have a legal process going forward, because almost all 460 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: these situations buck when you go back and look at them. 461 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: If the initial person who stopped had just complied with 462 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: the officer requests, there would be no escalation of violence. 463 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that every police officer behaves constitutionally. I'm 464 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: not saying that every police officer is perfect. None of 465 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: us are perfect at our jobs. But when you have 466 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: people believe leaving that police officers are fundamentally racist and 467 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: allied against them, you get what's happening in New York City, 468 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: which is a skyrocket which I bet is reflected all 469 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: over the country of people attacking police officers, which creates 470 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: more violent situations and more unnecessary deaths than would occur 471 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: if you just complied with the commands of a police officer. 472 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: And there's the compliance issue. There's also it has become 473 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it is from these 474 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: sharing of these videos on social media where they jump 475 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: right to when the officer has to wrestle somebody to 476 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: the ground or the officer has to use some degree 477 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: of force because of non compliance. It has become very 478 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: much more acceptable, I think, in some quarters and in 479 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,959 Speaker 1: some communities for people to just say no, I'm not 480 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: getting arrested today, or no, I'm not complying today with 481 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: a lawful order. And you know, if cops don't have 482 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: the ability to put their hands on you and put 483 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: you in cuffs when you have broken the law just 484 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: because you say no, then we have no law. Then 485 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: the whole then the whole thing falls apart. And this 486 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: is where a lot of I think the stuff that 487 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: you see online is just making the whole situation much worse, 488 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: which is people act like. 489 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 2: The why is the cop doing this? 490 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: Like it's just a matter of and then they put 491 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: in you know, they fill in the blank because the 492 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: person says, I'm not going to comply with the authority 493 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: vested in this officer by the state to enforce the law. 494 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, people 495 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: could show up and my door too, say sir, you're 496 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: under arrest, and I go, no, no, I'm not. Well, 497 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: well what happens then? You know, they can either grab 498 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: me and handcuff me and take me in for processing, 499 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: or I'm above the law. 500 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 2: And there are a lot of. 501 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: People that you see in these exchanges who just think, no, sorry, 502 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: not getting arrested today. And that, by the way, that 503 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: happened with Eric Garner who got put in a choke hold. 504 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: He was just like, no, I'm not getting arrested today. 505 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: And I know it was only a minor things. Well, 506 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 1: the whole George Floyd story, Buck, if you go back, 507 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: I could look at it. If he had just complied, 508 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: he was passing a counterfeit bill, he was high on drugs. 509 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: I still believe that he wasn't killed by the police officer. 510 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's certainly reasonable doubt as to 511 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: whether or not the police officer's action killed him. The 512 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: whole story, by and large, when you actually break it 513 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: down moment by moment, is a complete fiction. In the 514 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: way that it was portrayed to the vast majority of 515 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: the American public. I think Officer I think Officer Chauvin 516 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: did not get a fair trial. I think there was 517 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: not justice in that situation. And I disagree with people 518 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: that freak out at me when I say this. I 519 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: simply when they say, like, well, he was asphyxiated for 520 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: nine minutes. How many people in the audience have done 521 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: jiu jitsu? How many of you know how long does 522 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: it take if you're actually cutting off someone's airway for 523 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: them to pass out from that. 524 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: It's not nine minutes. Everybody much faster than that. 525 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: Okay, he wasn't trying to asphyxiate anybody. The guy had 526 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: a lethal dose of fentanel George Floyd lethal dose of 527 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: fentanel in his system, and his heart gave out, and 528 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: he was in effectively a panic and completely freaking out 529 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: from the very beginning of when the offseas said he 530 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: couldn't bathe in the car, he said there were a 531 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: lot of times where he said he couldn't breathe. My 532 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: point here is just play. This is the lack of 533 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: context understanding.

It's so annoying when these TV pundits 594 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 8: do not let somebody finish what they're saying, is clay. 595 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 8: His point is is obvious, which is that BLM riots 596 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 8: led to d policing, which led to more people dying, 597 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 8: particularly more young black men dying. 598 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 2: That's all correct. 599 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: The fact that they don't even know anything about it 600 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: is evidence of how you know, we make fun of 601 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 1: you watching Morning Joe. I read the New York Times, 602 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, we know their arguments as well or 603 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: better than they do. They don't know our arguments at all. 604 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: They have no exposure to a key cardinal aspect of 605 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: the results of the BLM riots.

Welcome back into Clay and Buck. 625 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. 626 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm hearing rumors yesterday that Clay a lah Happy Gilmour 627 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: just took a little running start at the taunt To 628 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: Towers golf outing yesterday and put one four hundred yards 629 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: right right on the green. 630 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 2: I don't even know. 631 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: He couldn't even hit it from the normal teas they 632 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: gave him a special tee where it was way back 633 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: we had a ring ring. We had a ringer on 634 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: our team, Buck, who was a former college golfer and 635 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: he plays golf still a lot. And when you play 636 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: golf with somebody who's actually really good, golf's a hard game. 637 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 2: Most people stink at it. 638 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: Even if you think you're pretty good at golf, you 639 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,719 Speaker 1: probably hit a lot of really bad shots. This guy was, 640 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, just smoking the ball off the tee all 641 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: day and uh and so he carried us to a 642 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: large extent. But I was not an unmitigated disaster. And 643 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: that's not bad considering the last time I played golf 644 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: was months ago. So and I didn't even take a 645 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: practice swing before I got out there today because I 646 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: was yesterday because I was running around trying to take 647 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: care of a bunch of stuff in the morning, so 648 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: I would give myself a solid performance. 649 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 2: Great. 650 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: I hadn't played since I did the live pro am 651 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: if you remember that in Nashville, like in June, so 652 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: it's been several months and I wasn't very good in 653 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: the meantime. I'm just I'm hearing big hitter the Clay Travis. 654 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: That's what I'm told, you know, to big big swing 655 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: up there. Let's go back to Ted Cruz here, Ted 656 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: Cruz against Colin Allred last night on the debate stage 657 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: on this issue of men playing or boys playing in girls' sports. Really, 658 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: it's the main thing is once boys hit puberty and 659 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: girls hit puberty, the physiological differences are obvious and very 660 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: real and very powerful. When it comes to sports. The 661 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: physiological differences are real even before that, they're real in 662 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: the womb. But I'm just saying the strength and speed 663 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: differential once you know, boys and girls hit twelve, thirteen, 664 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: fourteen years old, that becomes very obvious. This is how 665 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: Ted Kruz laid this out in terms of policies and 666 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 1: all read play five. 667 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 4: He is a co sponsor, and he voted for a 668 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 4: law called the Equality Act. The Equality Act mandated that 669 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 4: boys be able to go in girls' bathrooms and their 670 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 4: locker rooms and their changing rooms. 671 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 2: He voted for it. That is his record. Number two. 672 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 2: There was a bill. 673 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 4: It was a very simple bill. It was narrowly defined. 674 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 4: It was protecting women in girls' sports. He voted no. 675 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 4: The only issue on that bill was whether biological boys 676 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 4: should compete against our daughters. 677 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 2: That's not fair. 678 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 4: Congressman all Read was an NFL linebacker. It is not 679 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 4: fair for a man to compete against women. The third time, 680 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 4: he signed onto something called the Transgender Bill of Rights 681 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 4: explicitly and he co sponsored it mandated that boys compete 682 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 4: against girls sports. And just two weeks ago, Congressman all 683 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 4: Read joined one hundred radical Democrats in demanding that our 684 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 4: military allowed drag shows on military bases, pay for soldiers 685 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 4: to have sex changes, you using taxpayer money, and pay 686 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 4: for children to be sterilized and have sex changes on 687 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 4: military basis. 688 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 2: You know, Za, that's tough to come back from. 689 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: In Texas, I was gonna say, what do you say 690 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: if you're all ready just that's all lies to say 691 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: that all lies. 692 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 2: People have goods. 693 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: He's running scared to your point, Buck, He's raised a 694 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: ton of money, but he now has an ad up 695 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: saying that he doesn't think that men should be able 696 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: to compete in women's sports. But I think that's why 697 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: this is crystallizing to such an extent for swing voters. 698 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: Imagine if you're a Latino voter in Texas and you 699 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: see that and you think this is crazy talk. 700 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 2: Again. 701 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: You can debate border policy and some of that gets confusing. 702 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: You can debate tax policy, it's it's easy to get 703 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: mucked up in the details. 704 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 2: Whether a dude should be able. 705 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,280 Speaker 1: To compete as a women's athlete and win a women's 706 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: championship is so crystallizing that I think it's cutting through 707 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: the noise as we come and come down the home 708 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: stretch here. And I hope Kamala Harris gets asked about 709 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: this because you thought you've heard word salads from her 710 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: so far, Buck, Can you imagine her trying to respond 711 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: on this issue. 712 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 2: No, but I hope we get a chance to see it. 713 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: You know, crime is on the rise in a lot 714 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: of the country, despite by the way what was said 715 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: on the debate We're going to get to this crime 716 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: has been on the rise underbid and FBI haven't to 717 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: change their stats around. And look, you don't want to 718 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: wait for federal law enforcer to figure out what's going 719 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: on here.

But 750 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: what are you seeing on the on the ground, Senator? 751 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: Appreciate you making the time to join us. Great job 752 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: in the debate last night. We talked about it some 753 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: earlier on the show. What are you seeing on the 754 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: ground for both yourself and Trump and what are voters 755 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: most focused on in your experience? 756 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 7: Well, Claig, great to be with you guys, look at 757 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 7: it is a real battle in Texas. My biggest challenge 758 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 7: in the race is frankly complacency that people say, listen, 759 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 7: it's Texas, You're a Republican, this is easy. I think 760 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 7: that's objectively false. Chuck Schumer has been explicit I am 761 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 7: his number one target in the country, and Schumer and 762 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 7: George Sorows are flooding one hundred and fifty million dollars 763 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 7: into the state. I'm getting pummeled on TV. I've been 764 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 7: massively outspent, and there now been more than a dozen 765 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 7: polls that show this race is a one point race, 766 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 7: or a two point race, or a three point race. 767 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 7: They are all in and it is a battle. Right 768 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 7: I'm right in the middle of a fifty three stop 769 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 7: bus tour all over the state of Texas. I'm in 770 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 7: witchdaff Falls, Texas right now, headed up to Amarilla. Right 771 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 7: after that. We're criss crossing the state. But it is 772 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 7: a battle, and it's a one or two or three 773 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 7: point state where we are being massively outspent right now. 774 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: You know, Senator Cruz, We've got a lot of people 775 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: listening right now who live in the great state of 776 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: Texas and I think to some of them it might 777 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 1: even be a surprise that you're in anything even resembling 778 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: a close race. 779 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 2: I think, on the one. 780 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: Hand, you know, you've just been a fixture as a 781 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: Conservative senator for a while now, and people just expect, 782 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: kind of expect you to be there. But we're here 783 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: to tell them all. If you don't want your favorite 784 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: TV show going off the air, so to speak, you 785 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: got to make sure you actually watch. You got to 786 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: show up. How can people help at this point? What 787 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: are some of the groups that you'd like to see 788 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: getting more activated and involved, and what has to happen 789 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that we pull this across the finish 790 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: line and you get six more years. 791 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,359 Speaker 7: Well, there are two things that matter enormously. Number One, 792 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 7: if you're in Texas, come out and vote early. Voting 793 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,760 Speaker 7: starts next week on Monday, So come out and vote early, 794 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 7: and get your friends to vote early. Pick up the 795 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,240 Speaker 7: phone and call your friends, email your friends, text your sister, 796 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 7: your son, your next door neighbor, your co worker, get 797 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 7: them to vote. Turnout matters enormously. And then secondly, I 798 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 7: would ask every one of your listeners whether you're in 799 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 7: Texas or whether you're in any other state. Go to 800 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 7: our website. It's Ted Cruz dot org. Ted Cruz dot org, 801 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 7: Ted Cruz dot org. Go to the website and make 802 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 7: a contribution. Give ten dollars or twenty five or fifty dollars, 803 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 7: or maybe you can even give one hundred or five 804 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 7: hundred or one thousand. But whatever you can give, please 805 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 7: go right now to Ted Cruz dot org because we 806 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 7: are getting swamped. Schumeran soro us. Look, at some level, 807 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 7: it's not complicated. If you are a hard partisan Democrat 808 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 7: after Donald Trump, there is nobody in the country you 809 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 7: want to beat more than me, And so every radical 810 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 7: left wing Democrat gives money to my opponent. When my 811 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 7: opponent spoke at the Democrat convention in Chicago, the entire 812 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 7: stadium spontaneously began chanting beat Ted Cruz. I was the 813 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 7: only person that got that particular treatment. Guys, I'll tell you, 814 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 7: I'm actually pretty proud of that. You had twenty thousand 815 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 7: hardcore radicals who I think are trying to destroy America 816 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 7: and they see me as one of the principal impediments 817 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 7: standing in their way. Now, I'll tell you what happened 818 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 7: to my opponent, Colin Allred, who is a very very 819 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 7: left wing Democrat. He raised over a million dollars in 820 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 7: the next twenty four hours, and so that money he 821 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 7: is trying to lie to the voters of Texas. He's 822 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 7: trying to claim run away from his record. The debate 823 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 7: last night was all about him running away from his record. 824 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 7: But the only way we can counteract that is with 825 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 7: the resources to communicate my record in his, and to 826 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 7: do that takes your listeners going to Ted Cruz dot 827 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 7: org right now and giving generously at Ted Cruse dot org. 828 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: We played some of the clips from your debate last night, Senator, 829 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 1: and it seems particularly the case that sometimes, as you 830 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: well know, races can come down to one issue that 831 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: just really connects with voters. It feels like Colin alread 832 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: your opponent his refusal to condemn men pretending to be 833 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:31,400 Speaker 1: women and playing women's sports, particularly because he's actually an athlete. 834 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: He played football, he played in the NFL, played college football. 835 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: He knows better than anybody else. This is not some 836 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 1: guy sitting in a university faculty lounge arguing about transgender issues. 837 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 2: He knows how much bs this is. Are you seeing 838 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 2: that cut through? 839 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: Because that the town Hall that Trump just did with 840 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: Harris Faulkner today, every woman raised her hand when she 841 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: asked whether they were concerned about their daughters or granddaughters 842 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 1: competing against men in men and women's sports. 843 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 2: Are you seeing that resonate with your voters? 844 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 7: Absolutely, it is resonating powerfully. And and and look like 845 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 7: you've talked about this issue for a long time. You 846 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,879 Speaker 7: obviously come from the world of sports, and so you've 847 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 7: been really vocal in taking on this lunacy and doing 848 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 7: so early on. But but it is an issue that 849 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 7: that it really shows how radical and extreme Colin already 850 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 7: is that that he has four different times supported and 851 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 7: voted for boys competing against girls sports. He's voted for 852 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 7: boys going to girls' bathrooms, going to the girls locker rooms, 853 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,320 Speaker 7: going to girls changing rooms. And for the radical democrat, 854 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 7: your daughter, your granddaughter, she has no rights, she has 855 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 7: no right not to be at her changing room next 856 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 7: to a fully naked grown man, and and and that's 857 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 7: that's just fundamentally wrong. And and and this issue is 858 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 7: about fairness. You know, it didn't used to be controversial 859 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 7: to observe that boys and girls are different, that men 860 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 7: and women are different. And we all saw the ridiculousness 861 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 7: of two biological men at the Olympics dominating women's boxing. 862 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 7: You know that is and Clay You put your your 863 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 7: finger on exactly where this is resonating. It's funny the 864 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 7: media thinks that that the people who care about this 865 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 7: are are the crazies, and it is it is moderate 866 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 7: undecided women that that recognize this is really unfair and 867 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 7: it speaks volumes that at the debate, Colin Allred tried 868 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 7: to keep saying that's that's not I don't support boys 869 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 7: competing against girls, and he's just flat outlying because he 870 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 7: can say that in the debate, but every time he's 871 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,919 Speaker 7: voted on it, he's voted the wrong way. 872 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of Senator Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz dot org for 873 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: those of you in Texas or will I guess anywhere 874 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: right what a pitch in and help out Ted Cruz 875 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,280 Speaker 1: dot org. Right now they're spending one hundred and fifty 876 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: million dollars against you. 877 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 2: Senator Cruz. 878 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: The how concerned should peop both be right now about 879 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 1: the California of Texas. It's something that I know Democrats 880 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: for a long time have been hoping to achieve. What 881 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: are the long term trends and what do you think 882 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: can be done about it? 883 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 7: So it's a very real issue, and I will say 884 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 7: there are countervailing factors. So there's some people who leave 885 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 7: California who lead blue states, and they're fed up. They're 886 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 7: fed up with the high taxes, they're fed up with 887 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 7: the high regulations, the shutdowns, the woke policies, and they 888 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 7: look around the country and they say, where do I 889 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 7: want to be and they pick Texas. And the data 890 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 7: show actually those folks are more conservative than the median voter. 891 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 7: They show up here, they buy a pickup truck, a 892 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 7: hat and boots and a shotgun. And I call them 893 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 7: refugees for freedom. I want every one of them to 894 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 7: come to Texas and to be here and to fight 895 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 7: for our freedoms. There's another group, which is a company 896 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 7: moves to Texas and they for all their employees, and 897 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 7: the employees didn't necessarily decide I want to be in Texas. 898 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 7: They just stick with their jobs. Those guys tend to 899 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 7: vote exactly like they did where they came from. And 900 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 7: in many ways, Texas is a victim of our own 901 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 7: success because we're the best place in the country to 902 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 7: run a business. And so we have so many businesses 903 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 7: moving to Texas that they are bringing in hundreds of 904 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,399 Speaker 7: thousands of employees from California and other Blue states, and 905 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:33,240 Speaker 7: so that influx, they're cross cutting instincts. But the second group, 906 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:38,879 Speaker 7: it's dangerous because they're voting just like they did in La. Ted. 907 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,399 Speaker 1: First of all, everybody go to Ted Cruz dot org, 908 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: go donate to him. I want to build on this 909 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: because I do think this is part of a larger 910 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: picture here. If you're looking at the national Senate race, 911 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,360 Speaker 1: Republicans are looking really good in Montana, West Virginia's flipping, 912 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: you're starting to see panic. I think on the Democrat side, 913 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: they are now just trying to what your state because 914 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: they're terrified of some of the trend lines they're seeing elsewhere. 915 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: And if they could knock you off, they feel like 916 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: maybe they've got some chance to try to retain their majority. 917 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: So this is a nationalized play. Really, it's not about Texas. 918 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: It's about a desperate ploy to try to retain the 919 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: Senate in a larger national context on the map. Is 920 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,440 Speaker 1: that what you think a lot of this money is 921 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: motivated by. 922 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 7: I think that's absolutely right. And look, let's break it 923 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,720 Speaker 7: down in different options that can happen anyone in business 924 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 7: or life. You think about best case scenario, worst case scenario. 925 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 7: You try to give probabilities. All of us hope we 926 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 7: have a fantastic election in November. We hope that Donald 927 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 7: Trump is reelected as president, that we win a Republican senative, 928 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 7: Republican House. That would be very, very good. A lot 929 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 7: of good would come of it. We will secure the border, 930 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,240 Speaker 7: we will cut taxes, we will end the war on energy, 931 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,840 Speaker 7: we will bring down inflation, we will end the wars abroad. 932 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 7: Israel will defeat Hamas. There's a lot of good that 933 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 7: will come of that. But on the other hand, it 934 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 7: might be a bad election. The numbers are close enough. 935 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 7: It could be if God forbid Kamala Harris wins. I 936 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 7: think it is likely that the Democrats also will win 937 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 7: the House. In my judgment, the White House and the 938 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 7: House of Representatives are positively correlated. They're going to go together. 939 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 7: If the Democrats win both the White House and the House, 940 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 7: then the Senate becomes orders of magnitude more important. It 941 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 7: is the only check and balance to stop the country 942 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 7: from plunging over the cliff. And you laid out the 943 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 7: math exactly right. Today, the Democrats have a fifty one 944 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 7: to forty nine majority in the Senate. We're going to 945 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 7: win West Virginia. The Democrats have essentially conceded it, so 946 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 7: that takes it to fifty to fifty. And right now 947 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 7: we are leading in Montana by four to six points. 948 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 7: If we win West Virginia and Montana, the Republicans have 949 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 7: a fifty one to forty nine majority. Now Chuck Schumer 950 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 7: is looking at those identical poll numbers and he realizes 951 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 7: the same thing. If he wants to stop it, there's 952 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 7: only one place he has a prayer to do that, 953 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 7: and that is Texas. And the last time I ran 954 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,840 Speaker 7: in twenty eighteen, I won by less than three points. 955 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 7: I won by two point six percent. So Schumer's saying, look, 956 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 7: all I need is three points in Texas, and if 957 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 7: he flips Texas, he holds onto the majority. And let 958 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 7: me tell you, guys, what happens there, because it is 959 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 7: truly terrifying. If Schumer gets the majority with a Democrat 960 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 7: House and a Democrat white House. Hollin all Read has 961 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 7: pledged to be the fiftieth vote to end the filibuster. 962 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,399 Speaker 7: The filibuster is the requirement of sixty votes to take 963 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,680 Speaker 7: up major legislation. If that happens, let me tell you 964 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 7: what January of next year looks like. The first thing 965 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,919 Speaker 7: Schumer does is then the filibuster. He then does four 966 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 7: things in rapid succession. He strikes down every voter integrity 967 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 7: law in the country, strikes down every photo ID law 968 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,279 Speaker 7: in the country, and he legalizes ballot harvesting everywhere in 969 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,760 Speaker 7: the country. Number one. Number two he adds two new states, 970 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 7: d C and Puerto Rico. He would do that because 971 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 7: he believes that gives them four new Democrat senators. Number three, 972 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 7: he would give immediate voting rights to every illegal alien 973 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,800 Speaker 7: in America. They're twenty to thirty million illegal aliens in America. 974 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 7: If he does that, Texas immediately turns blue and every 975 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 7: statewide elected official in Texas is defeated. Texas becomes California. 976 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 7: And number four, he would pack the Supreme Court, grow 977 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 7: it from nine justices to thirteen, and put four left 978 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 7: wing justices. Now, guys, both of you have known you 979 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 7: a long time. I am, by nature an optimist. I 980 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 7: have no answer to that scenario. I view that scenario 981 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,479 Speaker 7: as a system ending event in history. Great nations rise 982 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 7: and fall. That would be, I believe, the end of 983 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 7: the United States of America as we know it. And 984 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,240 Speaker 7: what is terrifying is we are literally one vote away. 985 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 7: Those are the stakes of my race. And that's why 986 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 7: I would ask folks to go to Ted Cruz dot 987 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 7: org right now and ensure that we don't lose and 988 00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,800 Speaker 7: we don't go off the edge of that cliff. 989 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:00,840 Speaker 2: Amen. 990 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 1: We have so many of you listening in Texas right now. 991 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 1: You gotta go out and vote. Do not sleep on this. 992 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,239 Speaker 1: Think of all the money they're putting into this. Think 993 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 1: of what Ted has just put out there as the 994 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: future if they pull off this upset through really trickery 995 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,879 Speaker 1: and treachery. But that's what the Democrats excel at Ted 996 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 1: Cruz dot org and all of our Texans and we 997 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: got a lot of you.
