1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. There's big trouble in Chicago,

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: plus axios. The website stands for activism and not journalism.

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: CrossFit gets canceled. Ruth Bader Ginsberg calls out flag kneeling.

4
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Would New York actually be better off with no mayor

5
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: and a new Bill and Ted movie? Could it be real?

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence.

7
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American Great, You're a great American again.

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show. Thomas CIA analysts can

9
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: speak to three hours without a phone call. Try doing

10
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: that sometimes. No, we won't be defunding our police. We

11
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: won't be dismantling our police. We won't be disbanding our police.

12
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: We won't be ending our police force in a city.

13
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: I guess you might have some cities and want to try.

14
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: But it's going to be very very sad situation if

15
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: they did, because people aren't going to be protected. People

16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: do a tremendous job of protecting citizens of our country

17
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: and that's what that's what they're paid for. But whether

18
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: they were paid or not, that's what they do. And

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, somebody put it very beautifully before where they

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: said they protect people, risk their own lives for people

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: they've never seen before. People in many cases they don't know.

22
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: You're protecting the lives of people you don't know. And

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: it's an incredible thing. That's a great honor to be

24
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: with you all. Welcome to the buck Sex and Show everybody.

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: President Trump making it clear that at least as far

26
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: as he is concerned, there will know there will not

27
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: be a defunding of police. We are not going to

28
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: go down that road of insanity, not without a fight.

29
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: At least, it's good to hear that the leader of

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: the free world, the commander in chief, understands exactly what

31
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: we are up against. Now that this narrative of defunding

32
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the police, they'll keep shifting it depending on what the

33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: needs are at any given moment. One day it will

34
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: be no, no, I mean actually cut the police budgets entirely.

35
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: The next day it'll be, well, just move some of

36
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: the funding around to some social justice causes. I've seen

37
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: other people are picking up now on what I had said,

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: whatever it was now two days ago, Law and order,

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: social service workers. That's not going to be the best

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: show you've ever seen. It's not gonna work out. It's

41
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: not gonna work out very well for those social workers.

42
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen, not going to be good.

43
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: And all of this claim, all these claims that we

44
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: should have police disarmed, as if that would make things

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: inherently better. In fact, if you disarm police, anyone who

46
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: knows anything about police tactics will understand that the likelihood

47
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: of having to use exactly some of these in order

48
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: to subdue some Remember, if you're the first, if you're

49
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: the cop on the street, you're the first on the scene. Yeah,

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: you can call for backup, but you're gonna have to

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: handle the situation that arises. And if you try to

52
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: arrest somebody for drunken disorderly and you don't have a gun,

53
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: guess what can end up happening. You may be in

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: a position where they come at you with what you

55
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: think is is a threat to your life and you

56
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: one don't have the ability to respond appropriately. Two you

57
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: also in using you know, not having some of these

58
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: additional force escalation procedures in place, the ability to escalate force.

59
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you're gonna go for that chokehold or

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: something because you're really scared, because it's you or this

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: person who is coming after you. And I know now

62
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: in New York that they've passed a law to make

63
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: chokeholds illegal, just now passing more and more restrictions on cops.

64
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: Cops are the first ones to get called out. I

65
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: saw the thing the President tweeted about Buffalo. You know,

66
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: this President, it's so hard for me because I feel

67
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: like he's doing so much and get so little help

68
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: all that all you see from the press is insanely

69
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: negative stuff about him, and they're completely unfair, and everything

70
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: he says about them being fake news is true. But

71
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: was this, you know, was this necessary right now? Because

72
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: now we get a whole news cycle focused on what

73
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: Trump said about a protester in Buffalo who got pushed

74
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: by cops who have now been suspended and charged and

75
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: criminally charged. Another cop I think here in New York

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: has been charged. So now they're they're charging cops with

77
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: criminal assault. And you've got to remember that that now

78
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: is going to factor through it in the thinking of

79
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: law enforcement across the country when they're trying to determine

80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: how much force they can use in different circumstances. And

81
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: people will say, well, that's a good thing, isn't it Buck? Yeah,

82
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: but this is a it's an imperfect world. When someone

83
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: is coming at you, you know what, what are you

84
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: supposed to do? When someone's throwing a rock at you?

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: You're supposed to sit there and take it. Are you

86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to tackle the person? How do

87
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: you tackle them? I mean there was all this police

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: training that goes into it, but at some level, this

89
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: is one human being trying to physically subdue another. And

90
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: really a part of this should be don't do things

91
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: that make cops have to rescue through the ground and

92
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: fight you that that is a conversation worth having as

93
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: a society, right, whether you're a protester or just somebody else.

94
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people go through life without ever having

95
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: to be wrestled to the ground by police. And most

96
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: people who are arrested, no, while the cops says you're

97
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: under arrest, all right, you put your hands behind your back,

98
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: you go to the station, and that's it. You know,

99
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Resisting arrest leads to so much of this. But we

100
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: can't even talk about resisting arrest right now. I can't

101
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: even have that discussion. People say, oh, you're justifying police violence. No,

102
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: No one likes bad cops. No one likes police brutality

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: because everybody understands what that means for them in their

104
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: day to day lives. It means that there's the possibility

105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: that they themselves could be And people say this doesn't

106
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: happen to white people are lying or just ignorant, don't

107
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: know anything. It does. Police brutality happens to white people.

108
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: It happens to people have alread happens Latinos. You know,

109
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: you don't hear a lot about that either, are you

110
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: just go for in this movement the slogans and the

111
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: claims that have the maximum psychological and emotional impact to

112
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: divide us and to mobilize the left. They claim they

113
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: want to fix things. They don't want to fix things.

114
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: They want to use this. They want to exacerbate the

115
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: situation and then mobilize against their perceived political enemies, they

116
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: being the left and the Democratic Party. Whether you know,

117
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: we've seen this, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, Antifa,

118
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: all these different political entities that have come up in

119
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: the last decade or so, and it's just it always

120
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: becomes the same thing. A vessel, you know, the tip

121
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: of the spear for the broader left to push its agenda.

122
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: That's what's happening. Now, we see this, let me see this,

123
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: and I know they claim to be so in favor

124
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: of the powerless. Meanwhile, and I'll get to some of

125
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: these stories over the course of the show today. Meanwhile,

126
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: you have members of Congress taking a knee, Democrat members

127
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: of Congress taking a knee in subservience or perhaps solidarity

128
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: with this group. You have all of corporate America just

129
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: falling over itself to show that they support the movement.

130
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: What does the movement even really stand for? But it's

131
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: very similar to climate change. Do you believe in climate change? Yes, well,

132
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: then you have to accept all these other policies and

133
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: ideas that I put forward. Do you do you accept

134
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal? Well? No, Well, I thought you

135
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: said you believed in climate change. The same idea is

136
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: present here with the Black Lives Matter movement. Do you

137
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: support black lives Of course, everyone supports black lives to

138
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: do anything, but that would be deeply immoral and disgraceful. Well,

139
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: then you must also support defunding cops, disarming cops, federalizing

140
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Which how is that going to make things better?

141
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Look at what we've seen from the FBI recently. But

142
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: you better support all that stuff too, right, No, I

143
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: don't support all of those other policy decisions. I thought

144
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: you said you support black lives. This is how they

145
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: do it. And so, on the one hand, you're not

146
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: really able. It's not really possible for you to oppose

147
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: the movement without subjecting yourself to the worst kinds of

148
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: attacks and smears and the politics of personal destruction. And

149
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: so you have to go along with it, and you

150
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: have to go along with all of it, and you

151
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: have the people that are a part of the movement

152
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: feel incredibly self righteous about it all because the moment

153
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: that they're challenged on a policy issue, Hey, defunding cops

154
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: is really stupid. It's well, I'm here because I support

155
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: black lives. Therefore I always have the moral high ground

156
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: no matter what I want, no matter what I tell

157
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: you, you you have to do kneel bow, wash my feet,

158
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: do whatever I say as a leftist, as a lib

159
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: no matter what I claim. If you push back, I

160
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: can always retreat to I'm just here to support black lives.

161
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: Why do you have a problem with that? And you say, well,

162
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: but that's it. Your whole argument here is highly dishonest,

163
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: but it's the left, of course, the argument's dishonest. It's

164
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: all meant to force you to do things that you

165
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: don't want to do, and to do things that you

166
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: think are bad for society, to force you to not

167
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: only be silent, but to support them. That's the big

168
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: part about bending the knee. It's not enough to stand

169
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: by and allow people to have their free speech rights.

170
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: It's not to standby and be neutral to this whole debate.

171
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: You must comply. You must comply. You have no choice

172
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: but to agree with them, or else you are bad.

173
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: That's the way this is all constructed. That's the purpose

174
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: of the rhetoric of the approach, and it's very powerful.

175
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: There's a reason that all the all the major corporations.

176
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you look at America. Where is

177
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: the opposition to this movement coming from. It's it's not

178
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: from the major institutions, and even members of the Republican Party.

179
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Don't even get me started on Mitt Romney. I'm look.

180
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: I know that I think I could still say he

181
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: was a better choice than Barack Obama at the time,

182
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed that I

183
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: voted for Mitt Romney. I'm embarrassed this guy's walking around.

184
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Mit Romney cares so much about the minority

185
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: community that he feels compelled to march and solidarity with

186
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter. Has nothing to do with Mitt Romney

187
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: feeling like he's just the greatest guy in the world.

188
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: The virtue signaling you could choke on it. Oh Mit,

189
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: such a such a disappointment. Mid is a disappointment. Marker

190
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: Rubio is a disappointment. Now. I only understand why there

191
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 1: was such outrage among GOP, among the goop circles, because

192
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: when Trump came in, these people were exposed and all

193
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden you realize that it was really about them.

194
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: And this is true of a lot of right wing

195
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: conservative media, and it's true of a lot of politicians,

196
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: and some of them have fallen in line a bit,

197
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: but for a lot of them, it was really all

198
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: about ego and all about them. But back to the

199
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement. There is a transcript and audio

200
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: you can hear the audio of it of a phone

201
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: call in Chicago, which just had its most violent twenty

202
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: four hour period ever. There is a transcript of this

203
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: phone call, that is, and if you want to know

204
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: how many, how many people are killed, I mean dozens

205
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: of people are shot, people are killed. And the transcript

206
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: does this phone call shows you that you're not being

207
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: told how devastating these riots, how devastating this movement has been,

208
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: not just to cities in general, but specifically to minority neighborhoods,

209
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: specifically to areas of cities where there are people working,

210
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: trying to get ahead, who are trying to do the

211
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: right thing, Black and Hispanic owned businesses, and they're being

212
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: burned down, destroyed. People have nowhere to shop, people have

213
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: nowhere to go. They don't feel safe. And these are

214
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: African Americans in cities like Chicago who are in a

215
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: terrible situation because some small percentage of the American population

216
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: has decided to take it upon themselves to riot and

217
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: loot and destroy. And where's the Democratic Party on this?

218
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: Pushing the narrative, They push the narrative while good people,

219
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: black people, white people, all people. They push the narrative

220
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: of black lives matter, while people suffer, while actual human

221
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: beings are suffering from what has been done in weeks

222
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: now of riots and protests. I'll take you through this

223
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: conversation that happened in Chicago. It's stunning. You're in the

224
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

225
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: My ward is a blank show. I can't actually say

226
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: what this alderman in the city of Chicago said on

227
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: this tape from wtt W News, but this was eye

228
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: opening and people are looking at it, hearing it, and

229
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: they can read the transcript. You can hear the audio

230
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: online too, of this phone call and saying why isn't

231
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: this a bigger Why isn't every news network in the

232
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: country covering what is happening to the third or wait, no,

233
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: I think it's the fourth large. It's Houston, larger than Chicago,

234
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: producer Mark. I think it's close, but one of the

235
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: largest cities Top five Chicago, the windy City. Chicago named

236
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: for Chicaqua, which means stinky onion because in fact, there

237
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: was a stinky form of plant found by the river

238
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: where the city of Chicago currently is true story actually,

239
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: and I believe it comes from a it's algonquin. I

240
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: think if my Native American history is correct, it does

241
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: not mean the good Land. That's Milwaukee. As we learned

242
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: from Wayne's World. Okay, back to Chicago and back to

243
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: this news story. Did I'm producer Mark. I was trying

244
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: to give you time to find out. Yea, Chicago is

245
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: third behind a New York and el thank you, Chicago

246
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: is third. I like to get the facts correct here. Okay,

247
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Chicago's third largest city in the country, and Alderman is

248
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: effectively it's just a fancy way of saying a city

249
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: council person. I mean, you know Alderman, City council, same thing.

250
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: Fifty men, fifty Alderman. Fifty members of Chicago City Council

251
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: are on this call with Mayor Lori Lightfoot and they

252
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: talk about how and this was on Sunday, May thirty first,

253
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: so this was right after some of the worst protests

254
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: that happened that day alone. According to CBS CBS Chicago

255
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: here there were six hundred and ninety nine arrests, almost

256
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: all of them looters, one hundred and thirty two officers injured,

257
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: forty eight shootings, and seventeen homicides. Seventeen murders one day.

258
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: That's a lot. You don't need me to tell you that.

259
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you just extrapolate that, what if you had

260
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: seventeen murders in the city of Chicago size every day

261
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: for a year. It would be, I mean, would be

262
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: the most violent place on earth by far, would be

263
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: worse than really even some of the worst times in Siedaduarez,

264
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: some of you may have seen in depictions in film

265
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: and Warez. For a while on the US Mexico border,

266
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: because of the drug cartels, there was, on a capita basis,

267
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: the highest homicide rate in the world. It was a

268
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: terrifying place. But and Jone Grillo, who has covered the

269
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: cartels for many years decades down in Mexico, wrote a

270
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: book in which he said that when you crunched the

271
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: math on it and an assassination in Warez about a

272
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: decade or so ago, when things were really really bad,

273
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: you're looking at two thousand, well, two thousand and seven,

274
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. An assassination costs less than one

275
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's that's what a hitman would be paid. Anyway,

276
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Warez a horribly scary place back then. I'm sure it's

277
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: still not particularly safe now, but I haven't checked on

278
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: it recently. Chicago sounds pretty darn terrifying too. Lightfoot, the mayor,

279
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: said that this was a massive said that what happened

280
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: was a massive, massive problem, and she described writers as

281
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: just f word in lawless right now. Quote, I don't

282
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: know about you, but I haven't seen blank like this before,

283
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: not in Chicago. Mayor Lightfoot said, you go through this

284
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: transcript and it is it is truly jaw dropping. I

285
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: mean the right up on WTTW news of it is

286
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: is um it's you read this, you say, how is this?

287
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: How is this not filtered out? It's with fifty city

288
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: council member. You know why, because they're all Democrats. Because

289
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: they're all Democrats. And if you speak out and say

290
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: that these riots were horrific and damaging and destroyed businesses

291
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: and destroyed quality of life in minority in predominantly black

292
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: communities in the city of Chicago, that interferes with Nettie

293
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: and knee. So I'm so woke. It interferes with the narrative,

294
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: so he can't do that. But finally, some actual reporting,

295
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: you know, occasionally local news and this is what you

296
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: see happening. So why local news is still sometimes journalism.

297
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes we'll put journalism before politics just because not because

298
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: they are so ethical, but because they'll have a story

299
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: that's so big and they know. I mean, I've never

300
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: even heard of WTTW News before, and I'm in the

301
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: news business, right. It's a local Chicago station, but they

302
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: got such a big story that they have to run

303
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: with it because there's dollars and cents attached to this one.

304
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: I mean, this is getting their name out there all

305
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: across the country. Why haven't we heard about this? This

306
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: was what almost a week and a half ago. Why

307
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: haven't we heard about this before? Oh, I'll tell you why.

308
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus show past. Remember to

309
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you

310
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. All right, So we have the audio

311
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: for you of this call. Among the aldermen. They're fifty wards,

312
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: which are like districts in the city of Chicago. I

313
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: know a little bit about this. It was a good

314
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: show years ago called Boss with Kelsey Grammar that did

315
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: a lot of Chicago politics stuff. And I will tell

316
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: you I actually producer Mark. I've never I've never really

317
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: been to the city of Chicago. I went once for

318
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: a day and didn't get to see anything and was

319
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: just there to give a speech. So I got to

320
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: spend more time in the Windy City. But this is

321
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: this audio. You got to hear it. So Lori Lightfoot

322
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: is the mayor, and she's speaking to members of the

323
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: city council. And this is right after the looting and

324
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: the riots and things that happened. And I would note that,

325
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, New York got a lot of attention because

326
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: things here with the looting was really bad last week

327
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: last Monday, you know, eight days ago, the looting was terrible,

328
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: and the riots that have happened here in New York

329
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: were appalling. And there's some been some bad stuff in DC.

330
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you right, and Minneapolis clearly

331
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: had hold areas, you know, buildings burned down, the police

332
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: station burned down. Chicago didn't get much attention in this,

333
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: and I think we're starting to see why tough to

334
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: make the case that this is all about justice, especially

335
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: justice for Black Americans, when they're burning down businesses, are

336
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: destroying and looting businesses that are staples of black neighborhoods.

337
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: Where people get their food, where people get their medication.

338
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: Where do they go? Now, that's a question that these

339
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: aldermen are asking. Let me, there's a lot of finger

340
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: pointing here. They're all Democrats too. This is and you

341
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: see the problem that we're seeing out in the open

342
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: now that we have before, is that Democrats ruined cities,

343
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: ruined them. They've ruined Baltimore, They've ruined Detroit, they have

344
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: ruined city after city. You know, Newark is in terrible shape. Democrats.

345
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, find me Saint louis mostly Democrat, I think,

346
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: terrible shape. I mean, find me a place where there

347
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: have been these riots, there's been this looting, I'll find you.

348
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: Democrats in charge. Because they think that if only they

349
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: tax they tax the productive class a bit more, and

350
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: if only they cut back on police, if only they

351
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: tell police to stop doing so much aggressive policing, things

352
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: will get better. We ran the experiment in New York

353
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Aggressive effective, targeted policing brings investment into

354
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: a city, raises real estate prices, and most importantly of all,

355
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: and you won't hear this from the media. Those cops,

356
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: whether it's here at the NYPD or cops in cities

357
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: across the country, when they're doing their jobs well and

358
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: they're bringing murder and rape rates down, they are literally

359
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: saving lives. They are preventing enormous amounts of pain and

360
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: misery and despair, which overwhelmingly and predominantly is concentrated in

361
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: black neighborhoods of major cities where is most of the

362
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: I know the stats for New York very well. I

363
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: don't need to keep focusing on this place, but this

364
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: is where I am, and I can tell you that

365
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: a vast majority, upwards of ninety percent of the homicides

366
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: occur in neighborhoods that are almost entirely black and Hispanic.

367
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: So when the cops bring the murder right down, they

368
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: are saving the lives of black and in the case

369
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: of New York Latino Americans. I mean, looking at this example,

370
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: they're saving the lives of the people who are trying

371
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: to provide for their kids, who are trying to show

372
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: up to work and do their part and be productive.

373
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: They're trying to take care of our fellow Americans. That's

374
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: what cops are doing by doing their jobs. This idea

375
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: that in cities where there are tens of thousands of

376
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: robberies and hundreds of murders, and thousands of sexual assaults

377
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: and rapes, everything's going to get better if we just

378
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: cut the cops in half, cut their salaries way down,

379
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: cut the numbers way down, less policing, and then people

380
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: will respond, though the bad guys are still going to

381
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: be the bad guys even with fewer cops. We learned

382
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: this lesson in the seventies and in the eighties we

383
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: learned it. We've run the experiment. But liberals want to

384
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: go back, and I want to go back. But it's

385
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: not really surprising. They still think that communism is a

386
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: good idea, right. They still want to get us back

387
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: to socialism. They look around the world and they take

388
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: all the wrong lessons from history. This is why I

389
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: think liberalism really is a form of mental illness or

390
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: a delusion or something. I don't know what we should

391
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: call it. Trump's arrangement syndrome is certainly should be classified

392
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: as a mental illness because it definitely exists. So I

393
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: bring you now the actual audio from this and I'm

394
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: going to play it and sort of stop and jump

395
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: in at some points. But this is the elite. WTTW

396
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: local news station got this audio a phone call with

397
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: Lorie Lightfoot and all I remember she's most famous from

398
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: the lockdown, perhaps for saying that, you know, she needed

399
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: to get a haircut because she's public facing for the

400
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: city of Chicago, but other people can't get haircuts. Classic

401
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: classic liberal moment there, right, of course, a left hypocrisy.

402
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: But just listen to some of this and there may

403
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: be some language on here so that you will hear

404
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: some bleeps. But listen, now this goes. We can't expect

405
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: our police, and I don't fault them at all, to

406
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 1: be able to control this. But I know that we

407
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: asked our faith based yesterday to stand at the front

408
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: line between police and looters and rioters, and I am

409
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: simply not comfortable telling my churches those people to be

410
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: the intermediary in the middle of a riot the citywide.

411
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: We need something better because right now we only have

412
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy whatever National Guards on standby half

413
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: our neighborhood. They're already obliterated. It's too late. We have

414
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: to come up with a better plan because my fear

415
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: is once what they're done looting and rioting and whatever's

416
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: going to happen tonight, God help us, what happens when

417
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: if they're going after going into the neighborhood. Once they

418
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: started trying to break down people's doors, so they think

419
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: they got something there are you know, we know that

420
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: people are here to antagonize them in sight. And you've

421
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: got a wall pump today. Today, they're not going to

422
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: go to bed at eight o'clock. They're gonna turn their

423
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: focus in the neighborhoods. I got gangbangers with AK forty

424
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: seven's walking around right now. I've got gang bangers with

425
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: AK forty seven's walking around right now in the Democrats

426
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: stronghold of Chicago that has banned guns effectively. But the

427
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: gangbangers can get aks. Now, is it really an ak?

428
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Does he know the difference? Probably not, But you know,

429
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: long guns of some kind, and they're not carrying around

430
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 1: you know, double barrel, twenty gages to go clay pigeon shooting.

431
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: I can assure you of that. But this guy is

432
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: freaked out. He is scared about what's happening. This is

433
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: an older man. This is like the city council member.

434
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: Oh I checked. Also, do you know how many Republicans

435
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: there are on the fifty seats Chicago City Council? Zero,

436
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: not one, not one Republican in the in the Chicago

437
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: City Council there are six Democratic Socialists of America seats

438
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: that were won in twenty I think it was in

439
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. This is the Aldermanic elections they call it.

440
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: So you have socialists and Democrats entirely in charge. There

441
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: was one loan Republican, but he has switched to being

442
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: an independent. Now this is unified and total Democrat control.

443
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: And it is in the aftermath of these riots. It

444
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: felt like a Mad Max styled dystopia, just like so

445
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 1: many other Democrats strongholds do. And this man says, this

446
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: is what's going on here. Here's the mayor is going

447
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: to respond at some point, let's hear it, waiting to

448
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 1: set some scores. What are we going to do and

449
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: what do we tell our residents other than good faith

450
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: people stand up? It's that going to be enough. Thank

451
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: the question, No, I want an answer. I beg you.

452
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: It was real quick. Just see called it. The mayor

453
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: jumped in there and say thanks. Next, that's what the

454
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: mayor did. Okay. The mayor of Chicago is being told

455
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: by somebody who represents a district. You know all I

456
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: keep saying Alderman, but it's two can I don't know

457
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: why Chicago. It's some historic thing where they have the

458
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: Alderman system. But anyway, why why they represent as a

459
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: city district of Chicago. This guy represents city district and

460
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: he's saying he's a Democrat, might even be a socialist.

461
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: And he's saying, hey, look, this is crazy. What's going

462
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: on my area. What are we gonna do? We can't

463
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: at cops can't control this. And the mayor goes next question,

464
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: that's it, pybody, I want an answer. It's not something

465
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: you ignore. This is a question that I have. I

466
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: think we want you everywhere already, and we used to

467
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: lie and let the neigh There's nothing intelligent that I

468
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: am saying. Maybe you should come up and going up

469
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: stupid thing I have ever. I understand you want to play.

470
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: I understand that you need to check your bags, you

471
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: need right now. No, I'm just wondering, did you get

472
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: any sense in the media that there was this kind

473
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: of descent among Democrats where you've got a member of

474
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: the city council and the third largest city in this

475
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: country dropping f bombs at the you know, I mean,

476
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: really getting really getting into with the mayor. I mean,

477
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: I kind of wish some people in the city council

478
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: here would do that to de Blasio. But because people

479
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: are outraged, because their neighborhoods are destroyed and there's no

480
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: help coming from city Hall. There's no Lorie Lightfoot wasn't

481
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: getting it done. Meanwhile, the Chicago City Council's Black Caucus,

482
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: according to WTTW, was criticizing Lightfoot for using three and

483
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: seventy five members of the Illinois National Guard to block

484
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: off the Central Business District. So they then said that

485
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: the South and West sides, which have large African American

486
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: populations and generally have a lot more crime, were a

487
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: quote easy target for looters in criminals. So essentially they

488
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: were calling out Lorie Lightfoot, who's an African American female.

489
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: They're calling her out and saying, you use the National

490
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: Guard to protect like the Fancy Business District and our

491
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: black majority neighborhoods in many cases, we're just destroyed. And

492
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: she says, of course that that's not true and that's

493
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: really bad. I mean, this whole conversation, she said, we've

494
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: been working our ass off. I think I can say

495
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: that on radio all over the city. And she's basically saying,

496
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: what do you want me to do about this? I mean,

497
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: it goes on. The conference call goes on for quite

498
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: a while. Lightfoot here said. A crowd of thirty to

499
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: forty people gather outside a clothing store and on Michigan

500
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: Avenue as a quote dude with a sledgehammer end quote

501
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: broke into the store to allow it to be looted.

502
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Lightfoot said, but I haven't

503
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: seen blank like this before, not in Chicago. It's absolutely

504
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: incredible that no one talked about this. Sadlowski Garza said,

505
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: My ward is a blank show. They're shooting at the police.

506
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: I've never seen the likes of this. I'm scared. These

507
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: are the politicians elected to protect the city of Chicago.

508
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: They're basically having a mental breakdown together while the mayor

509
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: is like cursing and freaking out at people. This is

510
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: a massive, massive problem, Mayor Lightfoot said. People are just

511
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: blanking lawless right now. Sadlowski ursa wept as she told

512
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: Lightfoot new businesses had been destroyed while other shops were

513
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: being protected by owners with guns. Oh wow, you mean

514
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: people with Second Amendment rights can actually defend themselves effectively

515
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: against riots and looting. I wonder why that didn't make

516
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: the top of the CNN News ticker. Lightfoot told Lopez

517
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: he was one full of blank, well blank you, Lopez responded,

518
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: may Or you need to check your blanking attitude. I mean,

519
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: this is it's amazing. They're worried. They talk here about

520
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: being worried about about people becoming vigilantes. They're also saying, oh,

521
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: this is another part of this that they don't really

522
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: they don't really make any effort to tell us about

523
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: in the in the news media overall, and that is

524
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: that there are huge concerns about what happened to these neighborhoods.

525
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: Here's one. I remember, they're all Democrats, not a single

526
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: Republican on this whole city council. So this is all

527
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: Democrats talking to each other. One said quote, I feel

528
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: like I'm at ground zero. My major business district is shattered.

529
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Why would Walmart and Walmart or CBS come back to

530
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: our communities. It's like the wild wild West out there.

531
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: Who yeah, no, no, no, no shock there, folks. Why

532
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: would Walmart or CBS come back in after their stores

533
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: have been looted and burned out? Why would they? They're

534
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: making business decisions, but you know, you know who relies

535
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: on those stores, people, particularly elderly people. You know, they're

536
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: elderly black Americans and some of these and all Americans,

537
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: but all we're focused on what this means for the

538
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: minority community, at least in the media narrative. Right, That's

539
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: what this is. Black Lives Matter, That's what this is

540
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: all about. You have elderly Black Americans who have no

541
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: way of getting food because their stores are gone, can't

542
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: get medication, and this is what the city council members

543
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: are saying. And the businesses aren't coming back. Why should

544
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: they come back? But you didn't hear about You didn't

545
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: hear about any of this, did you? No? No, it

546
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: was all, oh, what did Trump tweet this morning? Can

547
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: we make that into a big news story? Not the

548
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: complete disarray and ineptitude and the absurd incompetence of the

549
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: entirely Democrat controlled city of Chicago and the infighting that

550
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: did not lead to anyone speaking out to the press,

551
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: of course, because gott got to protect the Left, got

552
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: to protect the party. The infighting over the clear inability

553
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: to protect their neighborhoods and to do what they were

554
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: supposed to do for their constituents. Protecting people's lives and

555
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: property is step one of governance. Right, didn't happen here?

556
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: It's a scandal, and it's one that you almost didn't

557
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: hear about. You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the

558
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Anytime you hear a slogan being

559
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: articulated by activists who are seeking an end that could

560
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: probably inspire a lot of common folks, you can be

561
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: sure that Donald Trump is a going to try to

562
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: weaponize that stroke slogan. He tried to weaponize Black Lives Matter,

563
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: he tried to weaponize a Green New Deal, and he's

564
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: trying to weaponize these But again, listen to the activists,

565
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: the spirit of what they're calling to a society that

566
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: invests in human well being, therefore not necessitating as much

567
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: of an investment in police departments. Don't listen to their words,

568
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: Listen to their spirit. Yes this is former Democrat presidential

569
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 1: candidate Corey Booker. Don't listen to the things they say

570
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: all their energy, because otherwise you're weaponizing. Weaponizing words in

571
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: this case means listening to what the activists say and

572
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: believing that that's what they are saying. This is amazing.

573
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: It's like this this old joke about Republicans pounce. You know,

574
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: anytime Democrats do anything, anything that's terrible. You know, oh,

575
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: major major scandal with the Democrat member of the you know,

576
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: House representatives. Republicans pounce is the headline. It's always Republicans pounce.

577
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 1: This is that's like this weaponizing no defund police is stupid.

578
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: And other Democratic parties like, how do we how do

579
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: we maneuver with this one? Now, you let the activists

580
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: run your party. You let the crazy people make the decisions.

581
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: Guess what you gotta defend crazy. Thanks for listening to

582
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: the bus seton Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,

583
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah,

584
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't support defunding the police. And I

585
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: had a big meeting with you know, eighty plus leaders

586
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: from around my district this past weekend, and you know

587
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: a lot of the African American leaders were saying, listen,

588
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: it's not about a straight defunding the police. It's about

589
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: having a conversation about how resources are spent, how people

590
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: are held or not held accountable, how we have oversight

591
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: over that process. That's what I think people are asking for.

592
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: That's what I think this bill actually speaks to. It

593
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: doesn't defund the police. It doesn't yank money away from anybody,

594
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: but it does say, like we have to grapple with

595
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: what is more than just isolated incidents. And I think

596
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a CIA analyst. If you've got three

597
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: data points, that makes a trend. And we've got way

598
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: way beyond three data points on this conversation. So let's

599
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: have it. Let's have some uncomfortable moments. It's not defunding,

600
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: but it is questioning how resources are spent. Well, i'm

601
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: a CI analyst too. Let's say that's a whole bunch

602
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: of bull crap. What a joke? Oh yeah, three three

603
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: data points makes a trend? That depends is it three

604
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: in ten million data points? Because what we're talking about

605
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: right now is aberrant behavior involving lethal force from law

606
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: enforcement in the tens of millions of arrest that happened

607
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: every single year. But I love, oh my gosh, the sophistry.

608
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. You almost want to respect it.

609
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's disreputable and disgraceful, but you almost want

610
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: to respect it because it's so brazen. Defund the police

611
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: doesn't mean defund the police like abolish ice, immigrations and

612
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: customs enforcement doesn't mean abolish ice. Believe all women doesn't

613
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: mean believe all women. Stop Libs. I got news for you. Dems.

614
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: Listen up. Stop saying things that you do not mean

615
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: because you get caught up in emotions and want to

616
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: mobilize your base, and then normal people that you do

617
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: need to vote for you, who are not brainwashed, say,

618
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: hold on a second, that's crazy. That that's really the

619
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: problem is not Republicans parents I love that Corey book,

620
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: or think Donald Trump is gonna weaponize this. He's gonna

621
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: weaponize this. What does that even mean. He's just talking

622
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: about what you're saying you want to do. But this

623
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: is the Democrat Party that it's all we have the answer.

624
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: We are the good people, we are the righteous ones.

625
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: This is what you do. That's what we should do.

626
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: Defund the police, that's insane. You can't. That's gonna destroy society,

627
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: literally destroy society. It'll be gone. What we think of

628
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: as a miracle will no longer exist if we do. Oh,

629
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: we're not saying to fund police, We're just saying, rethink

630
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: about the priorities of the funding that goes into policing.

631
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: I had an idea, how about call it budget cuts. Now,

632
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: you might say, hold on a seconduck wouldn't have the

633
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: same effect. Oh no, no no, no, no, hold on a second.

634
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: Why why won't they call it budget cuts? Because if

635
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: you're willing to cut the police budget and say that

636
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: that's bloated, if you're willing to look at the public

637
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: sector union that represents cops and say that that's too

638
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: powerful and unaccountable, what does that mean for municipal employees?

639
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: What does that mean for teachers unions? What does that

640
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: mean for all these other rock solid, necessary Democrat constituencies

641
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: and important centers of power and voter turnout for the

642
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. Is the argument they're going to make, especially

643
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: given the possibility of austerity that a lot of these

644
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: cities face because the tax revenue is way down because

645
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: of the unnecessary and psychotically ill thought out shut down. Right,

646
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: But because of that, there's going to be all these

647
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: big budget shortfalls. So how do you make up for it? Oh,

648
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: the only municipal service, the only place where there can

649
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: be budget cut is the cops. No, they have to

650
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: do with budget cutting, That's what That's what Republicans want,

651
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: isn't it. Maybe they want to cut everything other than

652
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: the cops, but they do want to cut back on services.

653
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: You know why is why is New York state? So

654
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: and true, it's true of Illinois as well. We was

655
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: just talking about Chicago in the last hour. It wasn't

656
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: that amazing stuff. By the way, talking about Chicago last hour?

657
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: Why is New York? Why Chicago? Well, Illinois the state

658
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: of the state that Chicago is in in such terrible

659
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: shape from a budgetary perspective, running, you know, billions and

660
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: billions of dollars into debt with each passing year. Oh,

661
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: it's because of two things, medicaid and public sector unions

662
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: and pension benefits. That's what That's what drives the debt,

663
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: those two things. So, okay, where are we going to

664
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: cut ah, budget cuts? Huh. They're not gonna like that

665
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: very much, are they. That's why it's deep fund the police.

666
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: And it also gets the activists all fired up. So, yeah,

667
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna get rid of the cops. And we all

668
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: know that's we all know that's crazy, right, Well, not

669
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: everyone knows that's crazy. There are some people out there

670
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: who really think it's a good idea. Minneapolis's city council

671
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: has voted to defund police here is what you have

672
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: the the Minneapolis Police department. This was posed to a

673
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: city city council leaders. What happens if you if you

674
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: really dismantle, if you go forward with this and get

675
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: rid of the Minneapolis police department that Ilhan Omar just

676
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: yesterday was saying is rotten to the core. That's a quote,

677
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: rotten to the core, all right, So I guess you

678
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of this right if it's a cancer.

679
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: As as other Democrats are calling police forces too. I mean,

680
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: the things are saying are so horrifying, and I just

681
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: as a quick aside here. I know there's a lot

682
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: of law enforcement folks out there, including family members of

683
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: law enforcement, a lot of law enforce I just I'm

684
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying it. Thank you. I know you're not

685
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: hearing this from a lot of places. There are some

686
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: other cone it was out there who will say this

687
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: as well, but you need to hear it. Thank you

688
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: for doing what you do. You know, I was on

689
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: the street last night walking my you know, second trimester

690
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: pregnant sister home to make sure that she was safe,

691
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, it was sketchy on the

692
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: streets of New York city right now, and there are

693
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: a lot of I mean, there was a guy who

694
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: was basically rolling around on the ground, almost entirely naked,

695
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: on a street in midtown Manhattan. I mean, I don't

696
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: even want to tell you what I think he was

697
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: doing as I walked past. I mean, that's what's going

698
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: on here in the city. And it's because of what

699
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: has been done to our cops in this city. It's

700
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: because of Deblasio and the Democrats and they're pandering and

701
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: their stupidity and their childishness. That I'm walking home and

702
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, I my safety and security and

703
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: the safety and security of my little sister that's in

704
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: my hands, and it angers me that I'm not allowed

705
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: to escially I'm walking the streets at night, or you know,

706
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: they've got all these curfews and things happening. You've got

707
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: roving mobs going through the streets, looting and riding and

708
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: attacking people. Why aren't I allowed to open carry a firearm? No? No,

709
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: if the NYPD saw me, somebody who was trained at

710
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: the CIA, trained at the farm, which you probably know

711
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: what that is, to use weapons in defense of myself

712
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: and the furtherance of my mission for this country. If

713
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: I try to open carry a firearm, I would get

714
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: sent to prison for years. Do not PASCO, do not

715
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: collect one hundred dollars, go into prison. I'm spending at

716
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: least two, maybe three, maybe four years in Riker's Island

717
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: prison because I'm a bad guy. You see. But anybody

718
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: that ever talks to the cops, I'll tell you on

719
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: the West Indian Day Parade here in New York that

720
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: happens every year, one of the big problems they have

721
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: is not just gunfire up in the air and people

722
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: forget that what goes up must come down, but automatic

723
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: weapons fire, particularly located in Brooklyn, New York. Automatic weapons.

724
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: So the bad guys, the criminals, the people that are

725
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: going to carry, you know, a machine gun around on

726
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: a rooftop and fire it off in the air, not

727
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: worrying about where those bullets are gonna land. I might add,

728
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: they can get guns, and you know, hey, you know,

729
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: what can you say? But I can't defend myself? Not allowed?

730
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: Not just not allowed, I mean I will go to

731
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: prison if I had an illegal firearm in New York City,

732
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: and they would think that's justice to BLASI would say, hey,

733
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,479
Speaker 1: you know, we're keeping people faith by making sure that

734
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: this guy that served his country at two war zones

735
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: and work for the NYPD trying to stop terrorists from

736
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: blowing up our subways and buildings. You know, him carrying

737
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: a weapon to defend himself. Is that's that makes everybody

738
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: less safe? Only a moron could believe this. But in

739
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: New York, in Chicago, and in so many other cities

740
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: across the country, the morons are in charge. They really are,

741
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 1: and they have been for a long time. And Democrats

742
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: aren't figuring this stuff out. It's just so much more

743
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: important to them to vote for people that are's like, oh,

744
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: we care so much about the poor. Do they make

745
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: poverty better? If democrats were curing poverty, if democrats were

746
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: helping people do better in life, better health outcomes, better

747
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: educational outcomes, more intact families. Oh, don't talk about families.

748
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: Oh not allowed, not allowed to talk about intact families

749
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: as a means of dealing with poverty, even though every

750
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: social scientist who has to look at data and has

751
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: real data to work with will say intact family is

752
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: a huge indicator in favor of someone's future, meaning the

753
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: kids that grow up in intact families are going to

754
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: have better outcomes, you know, nine times out of ten

755
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: compared to everything, all other things being equal with somebody

756
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: that's in a broken family. So but they can't talk

757
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: about that. No, No, we have to just pretend that

758
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: Democrats because they say they care, and because they want

759
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: to take from you the rich. Oh, you know, you

760
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: and your husband or you and your wife combined household

761
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: income of you know, one hundred thousand dollars in a

762
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: in a major US city, who we're gonna have. We're

763
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to tax you. That seems like a lot

764
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: of money. I mean in most US cities, most major

765
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: US cities, that's for a two person household. That's not

766
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot of money. But you'll get taxed pretty heavily

767
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: on it, that's for sure. And then we have the

768
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: morons in charge and what they're saying in the Minneapolis

769
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: City Council about this when they're asked the question what

770
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: happens when you get rid of the police force. In

771
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: just a second, I will play for you their answer,

772
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: which you really need to hear. You're in the freedom hunt.

773
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. If you didn't

774
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: be somewhere to respond with a guard. This isn't a

775
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: question that you keep hearing. Who would be responsible if

776
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: you didn't be somewhere to respond with a guard, if

777
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: there was an individual or group of people simply going

778
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: out there and killing other citizens for no reason at all,

779
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,479
Speaker 1: who wouldn't be responsible to go out there and try

780
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: to sell well mind well stands right now today, he's

781
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: still has a minis Police department, and that will be

782
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: their responsibility to address foes up. So at LASA, you agree, absolutely, yes,

783
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: they're defunding the Minneapolis Police Department. It's rotten to the court,

784
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: ilhan Omar says, But they also are gonna make sure

785
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: that it's there in case there's a need for it.

786
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: Which one is it someone's down the street with a

787
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: gun shooting people. Mass shootings happen, as we know, much

788
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: more often than that, criminal shootings, you know, meaning drug

789
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: criminal related shootings happen. That's the most that's the most

790
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: likely cause of gun violence in the country. And if

791
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: you have to call the cops, what do you do? Oh, well,

792
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: we'll call the cops. Well, hold on a second, I

793
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: thought the calling the cops could make things work. So

794
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: you have that other city council member from Minnesota from

795
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: Minneapolis saying, if you call the cops, it could actually

796
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: make things more dangerous. So which is it, Do you

797
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: need the cops or the cops bad? Gotta get rid

798
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: of them? Oh, the Democrats can't really come up with

799
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: an answer, can they Not really sure? But then when

800
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: you push them and you say, well, what are you

801
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: really trying to achieve? Because defund cops is a clear

802
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: goal that we can talk about. It's dumb, it's crazy,

803
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: but it's a clear goal that we can discuss. It

804
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: shows you the Democratic Party is completely out of its

805
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: mind and does not live in reality, and it's just

806
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: really a collection of a lot of emotions from people

807
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 1: that are not particularly stable, don't know history, and don't

808
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: really live in the real world. But okay, that's the

809
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. But when you when you push on the

810
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: one thing that they've brought up that is a a

811
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: clear goal and they they're talking about, oh, end and

812
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: qualified immunity. Okay, is that going to stop a guy

813
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: from you know, putting too much force on the neck

814
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: of an individual and strangling him as a cop? No,

815
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 1: and ending qualified immunity also means the lawsuits that cops.

816
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: Who's gonna want to be a cop? It sounds great

817
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: to say this all qualified immunity. Okay, so cops can

818
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: all be sued personally for what they do on the

819
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: job by anybody. You really think they didn't really think that.

820
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: No one even thinks these things through. They just say

821
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: them up, up, up. We get the libertarians showing up.

822
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: Libertarians who are, you know, just hoping they still get

823
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: invited to the hipster parties in Brooklyn. Those are the

824
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: libertarians that I know. They look I'm not really, I'm

825
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: not I'm that right wing man. I'm a libertarian. Thanks.

826
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: Pott's already basically legal. Guys, you'll won that one. I

827
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: don't really know what else you're adding the conversation. For

828
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: the most part, I'm just gonna say it. But these

829
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: things that they bring up as oh, this would make

830
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: everything so much better. You look at this and you say, um, no,

831
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that that would make thinks so much better. Actually,

832
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: and getting rid of mandatory minimums, Oh that sounds good.

833
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: Get rid of mandatory minimums. Do you know why they

834
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: have mandatory minimums? Because left wing judges we're saying, yeah,

835
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: you know, so what you know you were found with

836
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of drugs and a loaded firearm, and

837
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: you're part of a drug gang that has executed other people,

838
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: other rivals. But you know you had a really rough childhood,

839
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: so no jail time for you. That's why we have

840
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: mandatory minimums. Because judges were abusing their discretion. And this

841
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: goes back to when crime was really bad in America.

842
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: They're abusing their discretion the seventies, the eighties, into the nineties,

843
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: because we were told because the academy and the intelligency

844
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: in the media was, oh, crime is a social construct,

845
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: and it's because of all of us. No. Now, we

846
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: all have bad days, we all get angry, we all

847
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: wish things were easier, we all wish we had more,

848
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: but we don't. We don't commit crimes. Right. First step

849
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: of not having a bad incident with law enforcement, this

850
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: is this is a fact, is don't violate the law. Now,

851
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that just by not violating the law,

852
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: you won't be in a situation where you have to

853
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: interact with law enforcement and that they won't be overly aggressive, threatening,

854
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: step out of line. I know that happens too, But

855
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: if we're really trying to prevent these things from happening.

856
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: We have to discuss this from all angles and take

857
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: common sense. Common sense is in short supply these days.

858
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: But so you challenge the left on defund police. Now,

859
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: now we're weaponizing it because we take them at their word,

860
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: we believe what they say. Now we're weaponizing defund police. Okay,

861
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: isn't that interesting? And then you have beyond that, the

862
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: return to the vague demand like this, for example, Representative

863
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: Stacy Plasket play clip three. I think when you know

864
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: members of Congress and have conversations with them, you can

865
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: begin to have those conversations that would cause them to

866
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: be in to move towards supporting legislation that they know,

867
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: many of them know is necessary. Unfortunately, Eugene, one of

868
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: the things that we have to your member is that

869
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: we as members of Congress are not physically there during

870
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: this pandemic, and so the kinds of discussion, the kinds

871
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: of negotiation that would take place between members and members

872
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: is going to be more difficult. And for that where

873
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: once again also calling on the American people in your

874
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 1: protests remembering to go. This is a call of action

875
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: to all people to go and talk to your members

876
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: of Congress to demand that they co sponsor this bill,

877
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: to demand that they vote yes on it, and as

878
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: well going to the senators in your states to press

879
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: them to be a part of this movement to dismantle

880
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: racism in this country. Dismantle racism? How do we achieve that? Exactly?

881
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: How would we get there? Oh, it's by passing a

882
00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: Democrat bill. Notice how this very quickly? It's been what

883
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: about a week in change, and it's gone from police

884
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: violence is this horrible thing. And if you don't agree

885
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: with us, you're a terrible person, and you all have

886
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: to a thousand times a day say what happened to

887
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: George Floyd was terrible? And even though we already agree

888
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: that it was terrible, so why don't have to say

889
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:17,959
Speaker 1: it a thousand times a day? We went from that to, well,

890
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: if you oppose racism, you have to agree with Nancy Pelosi,

891
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer the Democrat Party and pass this huge bill

892
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 1: and give them all these things that they want. Oh,

893
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: you mean that this is really about political mobilization. I

894
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: thought this was about ending police violence. Oh, by giving

895
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: Democrats agenda items that they want, even though it is

896
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: remember Democrats in control of the cities of the police forces.

897
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: It is Democrat mayors, it is Democrat police commissioners, it

898
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: is Democrat city councils. They're making all the calls that

899
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: affect law enforcement in these places that we're told is

900
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: so bad. But we need a federal bill now, more

901
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: government control, more government action. That's going to pick from

902
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: the people that messed it up in the first place.

903
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: That's going to fix it. No, it's not. Thanks for

Speaker 1: your podcasts. Are here today with common sense solutions to

907
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: hold at least at the federal level, the whole police accountable.

908
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: But we know this is an issue that is not

909
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: just at the federal level. It is at the state

910
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 1: and local level as well. But we are here today

911
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: to say, in our position as leaders in our federal government,

912
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: that reform and change must happen, and it must happen now.

913
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: And let's be clear, reforming policing isn't the best interest

914
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: of all Americans. It is literally in the best interest

915
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: of all Americans, because this is a basic matter of fairness,

916
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: and as so many have said, justice. Okay, that sounds good,

917
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 1: right kind of? I mean, at least it sounds good. Well,

918
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm about to dig into the details. He reforming policing

919
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: good for all Americans. Yeah? Sure, How how what have

920
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: we learned? What has changed between now and two weeks

921
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: ago that there is an urgency now in the reforming

922
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: of policing. I would just want to know the House

923
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,959
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee has this out. The Justice and Policing Act

924
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty prohibits federal, state, and local law enforcement

925
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: from racial, religious, and discriminary discriminatory profiling and mandates training

926
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: on racial, religious, and discriminatory profiling for law enforcement. Oh okay,

927
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: we're going to have more you know, diversity and inclusion

928
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: and don't discriminate training. That's going to somehow prevent one

929
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: in a million cops from strangling somebody when they should

930
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: be using a different tackic That that's going to be

931
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: the game changer if we have antidiscrimination training that already

932
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: exists in law enforcement. It's amazing to watch this play out.

933
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: It bands chokeholds karate or this is the Justice in

934
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: Policing Act of twenty twenty. Bands chokeholds Karate holds, a

935
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: no knock warrants at the federal level. Okay, well, let's

936
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: let's go into this for a second. Shall we. Let's

937
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: really dig into the details for a moment, because I'll

938
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: tell you what's really going on here here. Pelosi said

939
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: this too. Play play clip twelve. Please, we cannot settle

940
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 1: for anything less than transformative structural change, which is why

941
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: the Justice in Policing Act will remove barriers of prosecuting

942
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: police misconduct and covering damages by addressing the quality immunity doctrine.

943
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: It will end will demilitarize the police by limiting the

944
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: transfer of military weapon rita state and local police departments.

945
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: It will combat police put brutality by requiring body and

946
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: dashboard cameras, banning chokeholds, no knock warrants, and drug cases

947
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: and racial profiling. We'll start, We'll finally make lunching to

948
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: a federal hate crime. Okay, let's let's go into this

949
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: for a moment. Shall we the details here? Because you

950
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: hear this, you say, oh wow, the Democrats, the Democrats

951
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: in Congress have this plan right. The Black Lives Matter

952
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: movement got everything going here, and now the Democrats they

953
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: kind of you know, they take they take the ball here,

954
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: they take the baton away, and they say, okay, well,

955
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: now we're gonna be the ones, the Democrats in Congress,

956
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: the elected officials, We're going to be the ones to

957
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: make the call here. Okay, Well, let's let's look at

958
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: this for a moment. Shall we prohibits local law enforcement

959
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: from discrimination that's already illegal. So we're gonna let's pass

960
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: another law to make another make something illegal that's already illegal. Okay,

961
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: fine bands, chokeholds, herrottid holds, and no knock warrants. Okay,

962
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: no knock warrants. This is one you'll get a lot

963
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 1: of attention on. People have been focused on this because

964
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: occasionally a no knock warrant, they go into the wrong house,

965
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: there's a scuffle, and law enforcement officer discharges his weapon

966
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: and kills the wrong person. That does rarely, but that

967
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: does happen. But here's the problem with getting rid of

968
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: no knock warrants. The probably the most dangerous group of

969
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: people that law enforcement has to deal with on a

970
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: regular basis are drug dealers that drug and you see

971
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: this a lot where they talk about non violent drug

972
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: crimes because they'll say Oh, well, this person pleaded guilty

973
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: to possession with intent to distribute and they are non violent. Yeah,

974
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: well were they part of a drug gang that was

975
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: maintaining their territory, their turf by threats of violence, by

976
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: shooting at rivals by you know, But the easiest provable

977
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: charge was this federal statute for possession with intent to

978
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: distribute you know, methamphetamine or And when you look at opioids,

979
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: they're killing people. That's not that's not recreational drug use.

980
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: Opioids are killing people to the tune of about sixty

981
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: to seventy thousand deaths a year. Look at how much

982
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: more focused there is from the media. There there were

983
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: nine unarmed African Americans killed by cops last year. There

984
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: were seventy thousand people of all colored creeds, races, and

985
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: origins who died from opioid overdoses last year. Now, I

986
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: understand these are not the same issue. I get all that,

987
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: But if you just look at the media focus and

988
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: coverage on these things, when was the last time you

989
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: heard them talking about opioid overdoses. Drug gangs that are

990
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: selling those they're selling heroine, they're selling opioids to people,

991
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: are putting them at lethal risk. The fentanel that is

992
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: often marked to look like prescription pills when it is not,

993
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: and it's made in drug labs by cartels in Mexico

994
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: and sold here by street gangs. That's killing people. You

995
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: take one pill, you could one pill, you can die

996
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: from it. So to call this non violent is to

997
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: effectively wipe away the risk to the lives of the

998
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: people taking this unregulated and often possibly lethal drug. But

999
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: no knock, well, let's go back to no knock warrants.

1000
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: You have. Now the most dangerous people that law enforcement

1001
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 1: usually has to interact with are going to be drug

1002
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: dealers because they are armed, they are facing long prison sentences,

1003
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: and they are engaged in consistent criminality. So now when

1004
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: you're going to go to a drug stash house, now

1005
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: you get to be the cop who's there. You know, knock, knock, knock,

1006
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: open up. We're coming in person who might have several

1007
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: fully automatic weapons on hand to protect their large drug stash.

1008
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Do you want to be that cop? Okay, hold on,

1009
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep knocking, can you please? I It sounds

1010
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: like you might be loading a magazine into a weapon.

1011
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: But but that's illegal. Knock, knock knock. Hey, you better

1012
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: not be doing that knock knock knock. Do you want

1013
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: to be that? You want your loved one of yours

1014
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: to be that cop who's going through that door? Now? Now,

1015
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: should there be an adjustment to the threshold for what

1016
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: gets a no knock warrant? Should they be? Should they

1017
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: have greater scrutiny? But to just federally say no such

1018
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: thing as a no knock warrant? Oh okay, let's let's

1019
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: give you know, a cartel hitman a little extra time

1020
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: to reach for their weapons, or to run out the

1021
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: back door, or to get rid of their stash. Right.

1022
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 1: So it's so easy to say, oh, just get rid

1023
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: of this. But the people that are coming up with this,

1024
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: they're not They're not law enforcement experts. They just don't

1025
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 1: like law enforcement. What else do we have here? Mandates

1026
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: the use of dashboard cameras and body cameras for federal

1027
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: offices and requires state and local law enforcement, So body

1028
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: cameras for everybody. A problem with this except the bodycam

1029
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: situation is a question of funding. But look, I'm not

1030
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: just gonna say everything I see. I'm not a Democrat.

1031
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't see everything they want to do. Okay, I

1032
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: actually think bodycams are good for cops. Body cameras show

1033
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: that when you know, when someone claims. There have been

1034
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: incidents where someone has claimed I think there was a

1035
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: woman it was in Texas, claimed that she was raped.

1036
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: She was sexually assaulted by a cop. Thank god he

1037
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: had a bodycam on and they had surveillance cams the

1038
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: whole time there. It was it was actually impossible for

1039
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: her to have been in any way sexually assault that

1040
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: she lied about a cop try to ruin his life.

1041
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: A body camp saved them. So there, I'm not opposed

1042
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: to bodycams, you know, fine, Okay, Um, it's a it's

1043
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: a funding issue for local law enforcement, so maybe we

1044
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: have to increase the funding on that one. What else

1045
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: do we have here? Requires state and local law enforcement

1046
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: agencies to report use of force data disaggregated by race, sex, disability, religion, age.

1047
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: So does that mean they're not allowed to to have

1048
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: use of force data based on sex, race, disability, religion agent.

1049
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to dig into the details of that

1050
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, but that's not How is that going

1051
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: to stop if you don't know anything about the people

1052
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,479
Speaker 1: that they're using force against Why are you less likely

1053
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: to use force or how is that going to solve

1054
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: the problem? Not clear to me at all. Establishes a

1055

Speaker 1: and enforcement of federal, state, and local government in cases

1057
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: related to law enforcement misconduct. I mean establishing a DOJ

1058
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: task force. The DJ already does this, Civil Rights Division

1059
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: can do this other parts. So this is this is

1060
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: bureaucratically shuffling. It doesn't really doesn't really do anything a

1061
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: nothing fatally important. But again, they need more bullet points.

1062
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: They need action so they're not just screaming. You know,

1065
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: to help communities reimagine, develop concrete, just and equitable public

1066
01:03:54,600 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: safety approaches. You know, this is funding community organizers in

1067
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: advance of national elections. That's what this is. They all

1068
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: know it. Well, they're going to come up with some

1069
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: great way to keep community safe. There's something, there's some

1070
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: idea they have out there that no one thought of yet.

1071
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: But if you just give money, give some federal block

1072
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: grants to community organizers, that's that's going to make things better.

1073
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: That's a joke. But again, this is just doling money

1074
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: out now to favored constituencies of the Democrats. That's what

1075
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: they're going to do. Amend's federal criminal Statute from a

1076
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: willfulness to a recklessness standard to identify and prosecute police misconduct. Okay,

1077
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think recklessness. I think that's fair. I

1078
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: think recklessness could be could be the standard for police misconduct.

1079
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: But we better be very clear and what we establish

1080
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: as recklessness. And remember, the Democrats are never going to

1081
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: give the tide to law enforcement here, so you know

1082
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: the devil also, the devil is very much in the

1083
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: details with a lot of this stuff. But I look

1084
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: at all this and I tell you this is not

1085
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: going to eliminate the less than a dozen people a

1086
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: year who are African American who are killed by law enforces.

1087
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: This is not going to change a thing. So you

1088
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: can look at this and say, oh, well this is why. Okay,

1089
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: these are these are minor shifts. This doesn't address the

1090
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: over seventy five hundred Black Americans who were killed last year.

1091
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: This doesn't make law enforcement more effective, This doesn't This

1092
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: does not really address a problem in a way that

1093
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: we should all be sitting around patting ourselves in the

1094
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: back if anything this is just this is this is

1095
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: really just minor window dressing or counterproductive. And that's what

1096
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: we're having all this, you know, all the riots, and

1097
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, if we did this, you think Democrats would say, yeah,

1098
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: I meaning if the Trump administration the Republicans went along

1099
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: with it, you think Democrats would say, yeah, we have

1100
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: a pardner in this now. No, then there'd be another

1101
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: series it demands, and then another series it demands. Meanwhile,

1102
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: cities aren't getting safer, people aren't feeling like law enforcement

1103
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: is better position to protect them and protect their property

1104
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: and protect their rights. So what are we really? What

1105
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: is this really? It's you know, it's essentially the Democrat version,

1106
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: the Democrat congressional version of a lot of noise and

1107
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: virtue signaling. But that's what they're offering up now. So

1108
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: see I actually read the details of it. That's where

1109
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: we are not going to make people say for not

1110
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: going to save communities just all for show. You're in

1111
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1112
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: This is a great story of the hypocrisy that we

1113
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: see from Democrats all the time. I really like you're

1114
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna like this one you had in the LA in

1115
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: the LA area recently, you know, the LA City Council

1116
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: President Nuri Martinez filed a motion last week, as according

1117
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: to the Spectrum News affiliate in Los Angeles, follow motion

1118
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: last week to cut one hundred and fifty million dollars

1119
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: from the LAPD budget. While she was filing that motion

1120
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 1: to cut a lot of the LAPD's budget, you know

1121
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: who was outside her home in Los Angeles two police

1122
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: officers who are being paid as part of a security

1123
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: detail to guard her home. So a member of the

1124
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: city council now needs round the clock security detail. While

1125
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: she is telling the residence of Los Angeles, oh, guess what,

1126
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: you have a whole lot less police presence coming your way.

1127
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: People have called this out and yeah, indeed, the director

1128
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles Police Protective League, which is the LAPD union,

1129
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: said it's kind of ironic he or she is demanding

1130
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million be reallocated from the police budget,

1131
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: but she has security at her house provided by the

1132
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Police Department. I mean, my friends, what else

1133
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: do you really have to know here? Oh? You know,

1134
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: what the tab has been. She's had security at her

1135
01:07:55,880 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: home since April around the clock. It has called the

1136
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: taxpayer one hundred thousand dollars in a few months. That's

1137
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: what it's cost in overtime. And to assign these officers

1138
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: one hundred grand of special security protection for this member

1139
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: of the city council. She's a She's a member of

1140
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: a city council in a district entirely just controlled by

1141
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: and run by Democrats. She's a Democrat. What she had

1142
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: some like mean right wing Twitter trolls come after her.

1143
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: That's that's what the justification is for this man. Apparently

1144
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: the MYPD should give me twenty four to seven protection too,

1145
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: because I got crazy libs and all kinds of psycho

1146
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: stuff to me constantly. But this is what it is.

1147
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 1: This is the expectation that we should all have. They

1148
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 1: will try to defund you, I'm sorry, defund the police

1149
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 1: and leave leave you to your own your own devices,

1150
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: your own security precautions, while not allowing you to take

1151
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: the real precaution of arming yourself, which is the first

1152
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: thing I would do if I lived in a place

1153
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: that wasn't a Second Amendment free zone. And they themselves

1154
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 1: will make sure. And this is true of all the

1155
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: big multi millionaire news anchors, you see, they themselves will

1156
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: make that clear. They themselves will make sure that they

1157
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: have security. They will have security. They will be fine.

1158
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: Kaylee mckin any, by the way, is doing a great job.

1159
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: My old friend over at the White House. We go

1160
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 1: back to our days being two of the only conservative

1161
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: commentators at CNN who were not complete whimps. But here

1162
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: she is speaking a very basic truth that set the

1163
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: media just into a flurry of outrage. Oh my gosh,

1164
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: play clip thirteen mark. Our police are described as the

1165
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: blue line in American society between peace and chaos, between

1166
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: order and anarchy, and that thin blue line has done

1167
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Just looking at twenty eighteen numbers. Murder

1168
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 1: around eleven thousand, nine hundred and seventy, robbery arrests eighty

1169
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: eight thousand, one hundred thirty, aggravated assault three hundred ninety

1170
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: five thousand, eight hundred, violent crime arrests one hundred ninety

1171
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: five nine hundred. That's police officers who are doing the arresting.

1172
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: You eliminate police officers, you will have chaos, crime, and

1173
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: anarchy in the streets and that's something that's unacceptable to

1174
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: the president. Does anyone disagree with that? No, But now

1175
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: they're changing their stands. Now they're saying, oh no, no,

1176
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: we're Democrats. Were We're not going to be that insane.

1177
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: We won't do that. That's too much for us. It's

1178
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: amazing to see this happen, but it's not surprising at all.

1179
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 1: It's not surprising at all that it took a couple

1180
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: of days here for people to come forward and say,

1181
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: hold on a minute, if you defund cops, you're going

1182
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: to have anarchy in the streets. You're going to have

1183
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: more violence the minority communities that the Democrats claim to

1184
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: want to support and protect, those communities will be the

1185
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: worst affected by the reduction in police presence. They'll be

1186
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: the ones that have the greatest difficulties as a result

1187
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:10,440
Speaker 1: of all of this, because that's where you have a concentration,

1188
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: a disproportion of concentration of crime in urban centers. So

1189
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: how is this helping it And it's not helping. It

1190
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:20,919
Speaker 1: helps the Democrats, helps their lust for power, which always

1191
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: explains really ultimately what the Democrats are up to. Thanks

Speaker 1: And because as you all know, I am not exactly

1198

1199
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: legend and host of his own podcast. Now Jerry Callahan

1200
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: from the Boston area joins us once again. Jerry, good

1201
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 1: to have you back. Good to be with you, my friend.

1202
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 1: So you know, I've been given Drew Brees a hard

1203
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: time who and I feel that Drew Brees seems like

1204
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: a great American. What he said was patriotic. Producer Mark

1205
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: tells me he's one of the best qbs, perhaps of

1206
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: all time, and he seems like a really good dude.

1207
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: And he's now apologized. I don't know if we're up

1208
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 1: to fifteen or twenty apologies or what it is today,

1209
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 1: but his wife is apologizing and the groveling. Now, is

1210
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: this just because the guy, if he wants to continue

1211
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: to be in the NFL, he's gotten no choice. And

1212
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: what do you make of this? Well, it was very

1213
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 1: disappointing because he didn't, let mean, let's start with this buck.

1214
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: He didn't say anything offensive. He didn't say anything for

1215
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: which he should have to apologize somebody. I've just said

1216
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: he kind of gave his stock answer to the question

1217
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: about players kneeling. You know, he doesn't kneel. He loves

1218
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: his country, he respects his grandfather's his fun in World

1219
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: War Two. So they didn't say anything wrong. I mean,

1220
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: it just wasn't woke up in this day and age.

1221
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: So they came after him, and you're right, man, he's

1222
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: been above reproacheck. The number that the money's given to

1223
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 1: a charity in New Orleans is like thirty thirty five million.

1224
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: He's got an impeccable record, just one of the best

1225
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: stand up guys, family guy, you know, good Christian man.

1226
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: And they came after him hard. The reason he started apologizing,

1227
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: I think is the teammates. You know, he's got some

1228
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: really important teammates that he could lose. Alvin Kamara, the

1229
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: running back, Michael Thomas, Malcolm Jenkins, these guys were upset.

1230
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: I think he could have survived if you know, other

1231
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: guys or media people were mad. Adam He could have

1232
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 1: lived with that, but he had to reconcile with the

1233
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: teammates and he did. And as you know, once you apologize,

1234
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: they you know, it's not like they stopped coming at you.

1235
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: They kept coming. And I think you might not get this,

1236
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 1: maybe producer Mark Will he reached a new low. He

1237
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: actually had to make a personal phone call through Shanna

1238
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Sharp was one of the biggest clowns on TV, and

1239
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: I edd to call him and apologised him personally because

1240
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: Sam and Ruff. But Drew Brees should have been picked

1241
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: out of the league for what he said. So you know, yeah,

1242
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: it's it's tough tough with Drew Brees, you know, I mean,

1243
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: he has an immaculate record. Some guys don't trust an

1244
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 1: immaculate record. I do, though, Jerry, because I have an

1245
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 1: immaculate record. So there's that. And and I want to

1246
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: also just get your take on Roger Goodell and the

1247
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: fact that now he seems to be endorsing you know,

1248
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I mentioned the top of the show,

1249
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 1: the far left Supreme Court justice icon to the left

1250
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: has said no kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful. Actually

1251
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: she said this. I was actually pretty surprised, but I

1252
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: guess she figures, you know, what are they really gonna

1253
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: do to her? Right? So they need they need her

1254
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: more than any They need her more than any NFL player.

1255
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 1: They need her more than any any sports league. And

1256
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: they know that. So they're not gonna do anything. But

1257
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: you know, you got Goodell now coming forward and saying

1258
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,680
Speaker 1: that effectively. You know, kneeling is great, go ahead and

1259
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: nil during the anthem. I think if people do this

1260
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: year in the NFL could be in trouble. I mean, look,

1261
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch after they kneel. I'm not gonna

1262
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: do it. Well. The NFL can survive anything. I mean,

1263
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,600
Speaker 1: the NFL is the only sport, the only league that

1264
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 1: really matters. I mean, let's be honest. The NBA guys

1265
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: are gonna do it. Lebron's gonna wears I can't breathe

1266
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:23,440
Speaker 1: T shirts. They're gonna be kneeling, and the protest and baseball,

1267
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,799
Speaker 1: you know who cares someone will kneel. I'm sure football.

1268
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: All eyes will be on football. It'll start September and

1269
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: there'll be guys kneeling. I mean on every team, you know,

1270
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 1: every week. It's gonna be a big deal. Trump will

1271
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: go at them, Goodell will have to defend them. I

1272
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: think it's gotten kind of scary for Goodell because if

1273
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: you saw that video in audio, I think he played

1274
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 1: it where he is groveling. He's not on his knees,

1275
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: but he's close, and he's apologizing for the way he

1276
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:55,719
Speaker 1: handling the past and apologizing for the rat past sins

1277
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: for the league. And I'm telling you, but he's thinking

1278
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:02,759
Speaker 1: about taking a knee himself. He feels that they are threatened,

1279
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: intimidated by the you know, the Kaepernick movement that I'm

1280
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised that one week he got on

1281
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,879
Speaker 1: the field, held hands with some players and took a knee.

1282
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: Then you will see, you know, a real division among fans.

1283
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: And you know, it'll be Trump on one side, it'll

1284
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 1: be you know, Kaepernick on the other. It'll be like

1285
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 1: it was three years ago times you know, one hundred.

1286
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,480
Speaker 1: It's going to get wild. We're speaking of Jerry Callahan

1287
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: of Boston radio fame and also now host of the

1288
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Callahan Podcast, which you should also listen to, highly

1289
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 1: endorsed by producer Mark. I might add producer Mark a

1290
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: big fan Jerry, so I wanted to, Oh, no, for real,

1291
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to also get your take here on just

1292
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: sports journalism, and generally right now in the New York

1293
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 1: Times has gone on this this wokeness purge, and they

1294
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: got rid of their op ed editor and and we

1295
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: look at this, and I've been saying for a while

1296
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: that journalism people need to just understand that these are

1297
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: warring aganda factions, really, and it's almost all dominated by

1298
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: the left, and it's very little that's allowed to give

1299
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: an alternative point of view. But then I have some friends,

1300
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 1: I know some people I keep it quiet that I

1301
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: know in the in the ESPN and Fox Sports worlds,

1302
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: and it sounds like they're also, like I wokeness. If

1303
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: you can't be Drew Breese and speak honestly about patriotism

1304
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 1: and respect for the flag, I got to assume a

1305
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: sports journalist who wants to keep his job at ESPN

1306
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: or her job is gonna have to say, that's right,

1307
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: we're all kneeling now. Yes, you couldn't be more right.

1308
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,720
Speaker 1: It's I mean, ESPN's is the most woke places. It's

1309
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: worse than you know, MSNBC, ESPN they know they had

1310
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Keepernick's back three years ago and they have doubled down.

1311
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: Now they will be uh. I mean they were criticizing Breeze.

1312
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 1: Any player. I mean, you're not gonna hear any player

1313
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: speak honestly on this subject or any subject going forward

1314
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: after they saw what they did to Breeze. I mean,

1315
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: nobody's safe. You will not hear any guys talk about,

1316
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, loving their country or right. Yeah, if Drew

1317
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,759
Speaker 1: Bridges can't do it, I'm assuming that the third string

1318
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: tight end or whatever is probably not going to be.

1319
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be making a big thing of it. No,

1320
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you this is a message to them,

1321
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: and you're right there. I mean, if we know journalisms

1322
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: that I've heard you and I've said it too, this

1323
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: is I think is as clear as signed as anything.

1324
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 1: When they get rid of the editorial page editor at

1325
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 1: the New York Times for running a column by a

1326
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: sitting US senator, Harvard grad and war hero, you can't

1327
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: have any of that, so they get rid of him,

1328
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: and that's again sending the message to everybody. But you're

1329
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 1: gonna see ESPN has a bunch of shows, a bunch

1330
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: of hosts who think, you know that all the players

1331
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: should kneel that you know, all cups are are bad

1332
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and and they hate the evil

1333
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Orange Man as much as anybody. So yeah, that is

1334
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: absolutely for sure. Speaking to Jerry Callahan, check out his

1335
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: podcast Guys and Jerry Callahan Show, where he talks about

1336
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: a whole range of issues, politics, sports, culture, you name it. Um,

1337
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:03,600
Speaker 1: just just give me some updates here, Jerry, you know,

1338
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: because I do want We don't have time to get

1339
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: into the lockdowns really right now. I've been a big

1340
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: critic of the across the board lockdown approach and just

1341
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: the lack of transparency and honesty. And now what we

1342
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: see with the protests can end social distancing, but you know,

1343
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: for funerals, couldn't for loved ones and everything else. So

1344
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: we've seen all the hypocrisy and all the craziness. But

1345
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: I do want sports to come back, one for entertainment

1346
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: value for myself, but also just in general. It feels

1347
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: like that's a big sign of normalcy for the country.

1348
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: Where are we right now with NBA and NHL and

1349
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 1: the NFL, Where where are they in terms of coming

1350
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: back when? And that's a good question. They're all still

1351
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: negotiating baseball looks like the one that's in trouble. They

1352
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: have not agreed, you know, the pro rated salaries, and

1353
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: the Union has dug in their heels, and I think

1354
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: it's it's Baseball is gonna take the biggest hit. It

1355
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: was already struggling, it was already losing, losing eyeballs, and

1356
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 1: and kids weren't really interested. I think it's going to

1357
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: take the biggest hit. The NBA. I don't know what

1358
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: they're doing. They're talking about playing now until October and

1359
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,879
Speaker 1: then stopping and starting again and I don't know January

1360
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: or something. It's all I don't know. It's all being

1361
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 1: negotiated as we speak. But as I said before, I

1362
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: feel like football if football starts one time, buck like

1363
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: college and pro. You're right that it's such a sign

1364
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: of we're back to you know, this is America, and

1365
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: we're back to doing what we do, you know, watching football.

1366
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: And I think they'll do it with I mean, I've

1367
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: been saying it for a couple of months, doing it

1368
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: with crowds of I don't know, twenty thousand, maybe twenty

1369
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: five and a seventy five seat state, seventy five thousand

1370
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: seat stated something like that just as you know, it

1371
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:44,520
Speaker 1: just show that they that they care about social distancing,

1372
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: but they but they really don't. I think the Trump

1373
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: rally is going to be the first sign that the

1374
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, countries roaring back whenever that is later this month,

1375
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,760
Speaker 1: and then you know, when football camp begins at the

1376
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: end of July being in August will be another good sign.

1377
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: I just before I let you go, Jerry, I I

1378
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,600
Speaker 1: used to watch a lot of the NBA, and I

1379
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 1: used to go to a lot of Knicks games here

1380
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: here in New York. But it was back in the nineties.

1381
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: And I've watched this show that I've been recommending to everybody.

1382
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: It's actually an ESPNUM documentary on the It's called The

1383
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: Last Dance about the about the Bulls and the nineties

1384
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: and that team was basketball just was Was the NBA

1385
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,680
Speaker 1: just a better league then with better stories? Or you know,

1386
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: is is that just nostalgia talking for mine? Because I

1387
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: feel like today the NBA it's like a three point

1388
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: shooting contest where everyone six foot ten and nobody cares

1389
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: what team they play for, and it just feels like

1390
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 1: it's it's just not a good product to me. But

1391
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, how how do you how do

1392
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: you gauge now versus then back in the nineties with

1393
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: the Bulls and Knicks, the Pistons, et cetera, and the

1394
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: Celtics don't want to leave Larry Bird out. The Celtics Lakers.

1395
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: You know. The eighties, yea was that was the Hey, dude,

1396
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: that was the greatest you know, bird magic rivalry. You know,

1397
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 1: that was when the NBA was at its best. And

1398
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: then along came the Pistons and then the Bulls in

1399
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,879
Speaker 1: Jordan and I was sitting right there. I saw myself

1400
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: in the Last Dance when George scored sixty three and

1401
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 1: the second year in the playoffs, in the first round

1402
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: playoffs game against the Celtics, it was the most amazing

1403
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: performance I've ever seen by anybody. But you know, they

1404
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: get swept, you know, birden Selfic swept them. So those

1405
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: with the glory days, I'm with you. Not only does

1406
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: it feel like a three point shooting contest where you know,

1407
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: everyone makes the playoffs and that kind of thing, But

1408
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 1: I'm telling you back to the you know, the story

1409
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: of the day, back to the you know, the woke culture.

1410
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: The NBA is the wokeust league, and you got guys

1411
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:35,719
Speaker 1: like you know Lebron and Steve Kerr and Popovich who

1412
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: just hate Trump, and you know these are guys that

1413
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:44,440
Speaker 1: will you know, Lebron said that the police were hunting him,

1414
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 1: hunting black men when they leave their houses. Deeply irresponsible

1415
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: thing to say, reckless, just idiotic thing, and that you know,

1416
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't help. I think there are a lot of

1417
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: people that say screw him, especially when they know Lebron

1418
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: is afraid to criticize China at the same time. It

1419
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 1: was the same day, I believe, but the same day

1420
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: that he ripped the Drew Brees, same day Rippdrew Brees

1421
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 1: and anyone that criticized Kepernick that the day that China

1422
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: outlawed any criticism of their anthem. And another word from

1423
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: Lebron not a word. Yeah, all right, everybody. Jerry Callahan

1424
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: the man himself, he heard him, check him out his

1425
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: podcast and Jerry Callahan show. And Jerry, great to have

1426
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: some Boston flavor in the show. My friend, thanks so

1427
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: much for showing up. We appreciate it. Good to be

1428
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 1: with you. Buck, thanks for heaving me. You're in the

1429
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:45,600
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. CrossFit

1430
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 1: looks like it is now canceled. I saw this one

1431
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: popping on social media, which is where so much of

1432
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 1: this now happens. You will recall that there was a

1433
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: big backlash against against the one of the primary stakeholders

1434
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: in soul Cycle, which is a very expensive stationary bike

1435
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: class that I will admit to having done one time

1436
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: in my life. And it was sheer misery and I

1437
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: hated every second of it. But that was for just

1438
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: supporting Trump. Somebody was in fact, yeah, they were just

1439
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,600
Speaker 1: upset that there was a Trump supporter that was a

1440
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 1: large owner. And now you have a whole bunch of

1441
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 1: problems with CrossFit Reebok. This was today. Reebok has ended.

1442
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: Reebok has ended partnership with CrossFit. And remember CrossFit we

1443
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: think of as a style of workout, but it also

1444
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: is a company and a brand. Here we go, after

1445
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 1: CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman made an insensitive remark about George

1446
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: Floyd on Twitter yesterday, Reebok has ended its partnership and

1447
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: there's other people that are pulling out. Everyone's all really upset.

1448
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 1: And here's what I think it is so interesting about this.

1449
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation that was the

1450
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 1: outfit of Washington University that put out the numbers that

1451
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: we were all supposed to believe on how bad things

1452
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get with COVID nineteen, and how if you

1453
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 1: didn't listen to them, huge numbers of people were going

1454
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 1: to die and all this stuff, right, the Institute for

1455
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 1: Health Metrics and Evaluation, which was completely wrong and really

1456
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: catastrophically wrong in its predictions about how many people are

1457
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: going to die and everything else from COVID nineteen is

1458
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: clearly politicized, folks, because they've come out with a statement.

1459
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: Remember they were pushing, oh my gosh, we're all going

1460
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: to die from COVID nineteen, Hide under your bed. That

1461
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: was the IHME modeling that was used, and that's what happened.

1462
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: And then we have these massive protests all over. We're

1463
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: told that social distancing is so necessary because others, A,

1464
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: You're going to spread the disease everywhere. That's what they

1465
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: tell us, even outside, even outdoors. And the HIM put

1466
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: out a tweet on June fourth, racism and discrimination are

1467
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,839
Speaker 1: critical public health issues that demand an urgent response wherever

1468
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 1: they occur. Racism is a public health issue. Oh I'm sorry,

1469
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: I have a hundred have one hundred thousand people died

1470
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: from racism in the last ninety days. If so, please

1471
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: explain how, and please explain what we're supposed to do

1472
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: about this. Once you've explained how, which is I think

1473
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: the first major hurdle that no one can do, then

1474
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: explain how we're supposed to fix that. Oh no, that's rights.

1475
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: These people are so brainwashed. The left is so insane

1476
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: that even their health experts are saying, well, I mean

1477
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 1: there's a pandemic, that's we told you, killing so many

1478
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 1: people that we have to take away all of your rights,

1479
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: unlock you in your homes. But if people want to

1480
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 1: fight against racism, that's okay. Then you can go out

1481
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 1: mix in the public sphere, you know, call on each other.

1482
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:50,679
Speaker 1: Everything else fine, more important, more important. I will never

1483
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:55,879
Speaker 1: trust these public health frauds again, and I haven't trusted

1484
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: them in weeks anyway. But this is spitting in the face.

1485
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Is of every person who has lost a job because

1486
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: of the lockdown, who could not go to a funeral

1487
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,760
Speaker 1: because of the lockdown, Spitting in their faces, of all

1488
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: the kids that haven't been able to go to school,

1489
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 1: aren't going to school, can't go to camp, all summer

1490
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: because of social distancing. But fighting racism is so important,

1491
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: that's what they say, well, important enough that people should die.

1492
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 1: They are telling you that that anti racism protests that

1493
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 1: are really just about mobilization of the left against Trump,

1494
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: as we know, but anti quote quote anti racism protests

1495
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 1: are important enough that huge numbers of people should be

1496
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: risking their lives based on what they were telling us

1497
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: even weeks ago about the lethality and virality of COVID nineteen. Now,

1498
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: Greg Glassman, the CEO of a cross Fit, responded to

1499
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: the IHM here it's it's Floyd nineteen, and they're all

1500
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: and they're oh, so okay. Now you can say that

1501
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: that's insensitive, certainly to the George Floyd family. And this

1502
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: guy died, is killed by a cop. But the point

1503
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: that I think he was trying to get at here

1504
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: is not really about George Floyd or about It's just

1505
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:13,759
Speaker 1: about how the IHM, which put out a hashtag black

1506
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:17,759
Speaker 1: Lives Matter tweet and is being used for the numbers

1507
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: to justify all the COVID policy, thinks we're all morons

1508
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: and that we should forget about what we've been told

1509
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: for months and the pain and the suffering that the

1510
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: entire country has suffered through because of their numbers, they

1511
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:33,879
Speaker 1: were the primary source for metrics funded by Bill Gates. Folks,

1512
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is unacceptable. I'm not going to let

1513
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: this go. They have been so dishonest. This whole thing

1514
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 1: was such a scam. They are such frauds. Oh yeah,

1515
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 1: Now social distancing doesn't matter because of the protests. Are

1516
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Remember protests to go to your job,

1517
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 1: or to keep your livelihood up in running, or to

1518
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: have basic day to day rights of movement and speech

1519
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: and member protests weren't allowed before. That's not allowed. You

1520
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: can't protest in favor of that, but protesting and favor

1521
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 1: of ending racism. We've already we've already had a Black

1522
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 1: Lives Matter movement. What did it make better? How did

1523
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 1: it improve minority communities? We've already been We've been through this.

1524
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 1: They burned down neighborhood, there were riots. They did this

1525
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis, they did this in Baltimore, they did

1526
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: this in other places. There were huge Black Lives Matter

1527
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: protests through New York City. What was better afterwards? What changed?

1528
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: What improved? Nothing? But nothing? If you're a leftist, if

1529
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, is worth now risking lives and risking

1530
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: your professional credibility and reputation in order to support the

1531
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:49,680
Speaker 1: agenda of Pelosi and Schumer. Thanks for listening to The

01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 1: almost roll call time. But for so I just want

1535
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 1: to say, hold your wild stallions, everybody, because we got

1536
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 1: some news for you. And I had no idea when

1537
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 1: I brought this up yesterday on the show that this

1538
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,880
Speaker 1: I swear this is just it's something. There was some

1539
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: synchronicity here. There was. It was fate because while I'm

1540
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 1: while I'm given producer mark or hard time for being

1541
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:22,280
Speaker 1: a young whipper snapper millennial, unlike a gray bearded, gravitas

1542
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 1: full millennial like myself, because we are technically both millennials,

1543
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:28,439
Speaker 1: which I like to remind him of. But I'm the

1544
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 1: old man millennial, the grout well who he's grabbed you.

1545
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 1: But I'm the old man millennial with the gray beard,

1546
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,760
Speaker 1: and he's a young millennial. He has not seen some

1547
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 1: of the true classics of really the what's the generation below?

1548
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,680
Speaker 1: Jen and why right the gen hy classics, and that

1549
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,759
Speaker 1: included Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. And now, in case

1550
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 1: he needed any more reason to see it, they are

1551
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 1: coming out with a third Bill and Ted movie. Here

1552
01:30:55,840 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 1: is some of excellent here's some of the trailer. Twenty

1553
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: five years ago, you played a concert in front of

1554
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: the entire cul One month ago, you played in Barstow, California,

1555
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 1: for forty people. Most of them were there for two

1556
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 1: dollars Taco night. They're on, Ted, What have you got

1557
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 1: to say for yourselves? Be excellent to each other? Party on, dude,

1558
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 1: there we go. Producer Mark, come on now, you've got

1559
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,599
Speaker 1: a third Bill and Ted's movie waiting for you. Now.

1560
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 1: But can I go to a movie theater and watch it?

1561
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: How is that gonna work? I don't know. It might

1562
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 1: be like a direct I think all movie theaters are

1563
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 1: going to be out of business after this. It's a

1564
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 1: fair point. I think this might be a direct to

1565
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, direct to your home kind of situation. But

1566
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you could watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

1567
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have it on demand or something, you know,

1568
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:59,760
Speaker 1: And it's been twenty five years, so it's amazing how

1569
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 1: old that movie is. I don't even realize it's really

1570
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:04,679
Speaker 1: the I think it is the second movie Keyanu Reeves made.

1571
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Have you seen see now I'm in a Kiano's own.

1572
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've seen all the Matrix movies because you're

1573
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 1: a civilized person, even though the third Matrix movie was

1574
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 1: total trash. But I'm assuming you've also seen the series

1575
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 1: with Keanu Reeves known. I'm forgetting what it is called

1576
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: on air? What is it called? Where he plays like

1577
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 1: the gun Slinger? Come on, you know I'm talking about.

1578
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 1: Is this twenty four? No? No, no, my gosh, good

1579
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: heavens man, that's a great series. Though, good heavens, I can't.

1580
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm blanking on the on the Keyanu Reeves right now.

1581
01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm My brothers make fun of me

1582
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 1: because I've always been partial to Keyanu um and you

1583
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 1: know he's he's a good actor, and I think he

1584
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:49,599
Speaker 1: does a good job. And what he does, I mean,

1585
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 1: point break is clearly one of the great, the great

1586
01:32:52,000 --> 01:33:00,759
Speaker 1: classics of John Wick. There we go, you've seen John Wick? Right? No, interesting, Well,

01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 1: shop for all things freedom hunt and we should actually

01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 1: set up a shop on there. I'll talk to the

1600
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 1: folks about that. We got to do that too, but yes, indeed,

1601
01:33:56,760 --> 01:34:00,559
Speaker 1: things to talk about, things to discuss, and oh, team Bucket.

1602
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com if you want to send us an email. Um,

1603
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 1: for some reason, the crazy libs are coming at me

1604
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 1: on Instagram. All that's where I get a lot of

1605
01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: the a lot of the mean messages. Less of it

1606
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:13,640
Speaker 1: on Facebook, a lot more. I don't know where it is,

1607
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: but the really mean psychos out there seem to come

1608
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 1: at you on Instagram now I'll enlighten you a little bit.

1609
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:26,240
Speaker 1: Instagram tends to sew a bit younger than Facebook's. That's

1610
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 1: probably why then. Although Team buck Youth is awesome, but

1611
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: unfortunately they're not every They're not all the youth, that's

1612
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 1: for sure. Not everybody, not everybody agrees with the Buckster

1613
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: tells them, Um, let's get to at Len first. Up here,

1614
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 1: Buck love to have you guys moved to Florida. It's

1615
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:47,280
Speaker 1: a state of freedom and liberty. Forget Austin far left yuppies,

1616
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 1: social justice idiots and environmentalists. Ouch. I don't know, KLBJ. Austin,

1617
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 1: Florida's calling you out right now, Florida's calling out my

1618
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: Austin peeps. I think Austin might have to make some

1619
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 1: jokes about order. Man. Now, I'm just gonna I'm just

1620
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna say, all right, so you better write in from

1621
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:06,760
Speaker 1: kalbj world. Anyway, I'd love to see everyone get together

1622
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 1: and start marching to protest that continued wearing of masks

1623
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 1: and closed venues of all types. Since there is no

1624
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 1: law that says you have to wear the mask everywhere,

1625
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 1: and restaurant and bar owners can open and just post

1626
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: a sign no masks required, patronize at your own risk.

1627
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 1: The cops can't arrest arrest everyone, and in New York

1628
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 1: they'll let you out anyway. In New York they're saying

1629
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,120
Speaker 1: it is an executive order. I don't know if that

1630
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: would really stand up in court, but I do know

1631
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 1: that right now we are told that you must you

1632
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 1: must comply with the mask face covering stuff. You do

1633
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,759
Speaker 1: not have an option if you're a business, And yeah,

1634
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:47,400
Speaker 1: that's where that's where it is. So yes, I would

1635
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 1: like to see, man, I'd like to see mask non

1636
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 1: compliance for certainly outdoor face mask wearing. And I think

1637
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: if you're unless you're in a high risk category indoors too,

1638
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna say it. And I understand that were how

1639
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,680
Speaker 1: many cases of this virus or even out there right

1640
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 1: now that people are so worried about. There's three hundred

1641
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 1: and twenty million of us alrighty ah, where are we now?

1642
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:13,360
Speaker 1: Michael hey Buck, Remember Europe was mostly peaceful in the

1643
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 1: nineteen forties and the US was mostly peaceful in the

1644
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,640
Speaker 1: first half of the eighteen sixties. Shields hie and no

1645
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: bended knees. Well, Michael, that's a pretty intense, pretty intense

1646
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:27,559
Speaker 1: political series of political comparisons you're making there, my friend,

1647
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we're heading for really really, really really

1648
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 1: bad stuff. I'll say that I think we'll be all right.

1649
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like to be an optimist. I

1650
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 1: like to be an optimist. Dennis, Oh my gosh, Buck

1651
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 1: don't know if I should laugh or cry over this

1652
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: crazy defund the police narrative. Your description of it being destructive, stupid,

1653
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 1: and maniacles absolutely spot on. So how bizarre or maybe

1654
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 1: just playing scary? Is it that people actually believe that

1655
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 1: it's somehow a solution is something. If they believe that

1656
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,040
Speaker 1: it's such a good and workable idea, then here's a

1657
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: crazy thought for them. Why don't they just promote the

1658
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 1: idea of outlawing criminals? Makes sense that if we don't

1659
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 1: have criminals, then by all means we don't need law

1660
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: enforce And thanks as always for the great show. Yeah, Dennis,

1661
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 1: this is what I say. It's like having marches to

1662
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 1: outlaw cruelty or meanness. Cruelty is bad, Racism is bad,

1663
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: but if you have a march to outlaw it, rather

1664
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 1: too of it to just oppose it. Okay, how though,

1665
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:26,759
Speaker 1: the how matters a whole lot. There is universal agreement

1666
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 1: on immoral things being on things that are clearly immoral

1667
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,639
Speaker 1: being bad. But if you want to take policy action,

1668
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,639
Speaker 1: you have to describe what it is. And I'm telling

1669
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 1: you I'm seeing this with a lot of the stuff

1670
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:42,719
Speaker 1: with cops right now. You know, all major police departments

1671
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 1: are just waiting for an opportunity. Any cop that's a

1672
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: little a little too rough. And I don't mean anyone

1673
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 1: dying or anything terrible like that. I just mean anyone's

1674
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 1: a little too rough with the protester, they're going to

1675
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 1: take your badge, to take your job and maybe prosecute

1676
01:37:55,840 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 1: you for that. Now, okay, So people are then give

1677
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:03,480
Speaker 1: the impunity with which the more violent protesters the rioters,

1678
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:06,440
Speaker 1: are able to act against law enforcement of that circumstance,

1679
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 1: just saying it's a bad, bad situation, bad situation. Let's

1680
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 1: see here, Jay, hey, Buck and Mark love the show.

1681
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: You guys were asking for a KLBJ listener. Here we

1682
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 1: go to chime in on relocation to Austin. Don't do it.

1683
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 1: I swear I didn't even know this was coming up.

1684
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. Austin is the bluest, most liberal city.

1685
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: In our state, we have self proclaimed socialists on our

1686
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 1: city council. I wear a uniform for a public safety

1687
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: entity and I'm employed by the city, so unfortunately these

1688
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 1: bozos make decisions regarding my job. Wow, Jay from KLBJ, Austin, Land,

1689
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:55,840
Speaker 1: that is not a ringing endorsement. Oh there's more. Also,

1690
01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 1: the crime has increased as well as homelessness. We're just

1691
01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 1: another Seattle. Essentially. Texas is awesome. However, I would recommend

1692
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: College Station as a better city to move to, just

1693
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 1: a couple hours south of Austin, home to Texas A

1694
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: and M University, land of god fearing gun toting conservatives,

1695
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 1: thanks guys and shields high m. How many people live

1696
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 1: in How many people live in College Station? I mean,

1697
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't I've heard of College Station producer Mark, do

1698
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:24,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean about it? You know about

1699
01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:26,240
Speaker 1: you know about sports? I mean, if I had to

1700
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:28,679
Speaker 1: take a guess and be a college town, so there's

1701
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: more people, good analysis, fuser, Mark. Well, No, I'm just

1702
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: saying this. Probably it's probably a lull during the summer

1703
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 1: around Christmas time when of those students go home. Yeah,

1704
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:42,719
Speaker 1: about one hundred thousand in population and Austin population wise.

1705
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 1: Let me see what it says here. Austin, Texas population

1706
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:49,640
Speaker 1: is almost a million. It's a lot bigger. What's the

1707
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 1: population of Delray Beach, Florida. That's a good quest. Let's

1708
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: do this. Ruser market Buck are thinking about where they're

1709
01:39:56,320 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 1: going to relocate Delray Beach. By the way, if you, dude,

1710
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: if you want to move the Freedom up down there,

1711
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:05,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna have that conversation. Seventy thousand. I got no

1712
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:08,000
Speaker 1: problems is I love del Rabid, No problems with that.

1713
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of where else we have maybe

1714
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:15,599
Speaker 1: what is is San Antonio a great city? What about

1715
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 1: San Antonio? They have an NBA team almost one point

1716
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:22,879
Speaker 1: five million. You can root for the Spurs. The Admiral

1717
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:28,920
Speaker 1: David Robinson, I remember some things. That's who you remember, Yeah, Duncan, Yeah,

1718
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 1: managing Oble, Tony Parker, Yeah, all those guys. All those

1719
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: guys are Spurs. Greg Popovich, who's busy this week crying

1720
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:40,680
Speaker 1: Greg Papa's like, I'm so sorry for my whiteness. That's

1721
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 1: what Greg Papach is out there saying, Oh boy, sad,

1722
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 1: very sad. Um. Okay, well, we'll have to think about Austin.

1723
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,559
Speaker 1: That's uh, that was I was not expecting that one.

1724
01:40:55,040 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 1: You're in. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, all right.

1725
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 1: Next up here is Greg Hey. Buck. Wanted to just

1726
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 1: make a couple quick points. First, here in Denver they

1727
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:11,559
Speaker 1: are keeping public pools closed, most likely for the rest

1728
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 1: of the summer because they can't abide by social distancing

1729
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 1: rules while at the same time allowing mass close quarter

1730
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:21,719
Speaker 1: gatherings for the protests. And second, the people in England

1731
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 1: vandalizing the Churchill statue must not realize though there probably

1732
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a UK today without him, the insanity of

1733
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 1: all this is pushing me to the brink. Conservatives absolutely

1734
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: need to rally and put a stop to this nonsense.

1735
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:39,880
Speaker 1: Shields high Well, Greg, thanks for the update on ninety

1736
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: three seven ninety seven FM in Denver. That's right, the

1737
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 1: Freedom Hut, Freedom ninety three seven FM. It's a match

1738
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 1: made in heaven. And as for keeping the pools close,

1739
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 1: that's just nuts man. They're doing it here in New

1740
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:54,559
Speaker 1: York too. They're doing it in New York so you

1741
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,679
Speaker 1: can you can mix with you know, three or four

1742
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: thousand people shoulders shoulder in the streets for six hours

1743
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 1: at a time, breathing on each other, touch, you know,

1744
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,599
Speaker 1: bumping into each other and everything else. But she can't

1745
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: go for a swimming open air in a public pool.

1746
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 1: They're not going to allow that because of COVID. These

1747
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 1: people are completely insane, but it's very tough to get

1748
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 1: them to admit that. Michael Bug, your doctor Fauci impression

1749
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:19,680
Speaker 1: cracks me up. But I missed your Warren Wilhelm, as

1750
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 1: Angela Merkel, can we get a little more Vaughn Wilhelm

1751
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 1: shields high from Austin. Michael shaw Kusen tag yah, but

1752
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 1: we would just hold that Austin is like a left

1753
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:34,439
Speaker 1: wing socialist naughty place. So why where are we going

1754
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: to movies? To Texas? Angela Merkel wants to know. She

1755
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:42,439
Speaker 1: does not have a good answer for you go. I'm

1756
01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 1: not sure yet, but do some Mark likes Delray Beach.

1757
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 1: Cartel Beach has very delicious drinks as well as a

1758
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:52,559
Speaker 1: peached where you can lie out in the song No Nine,

1759
01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:56,240
Speaker 1: why not? It sounds like fun to me? I think

1760
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 1: I think Delory Beaches maybe maybe the spot you're close

1761
01:42:58,320 --> 01:43:00,040
Speaker 1: to Palm Beach. If you want to be fancy, you

1762
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 1: can always go there. And I hear good things about

1763
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: West Palm. I think Bongino is he's in Florida somewhere.

1764
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's He's somewhere down and think

1765
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: him and Russia down there, Yeah, I think, well, yeah,

1766
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,679
Speaker 1: rushes down Palm Beach. I think Bongino's Palm Beach area too.

1767
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:18,880
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm just saying, those guys know what's up? Edgar? Hey,

1768
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 1: Buck love your show. We love you, Edgar. Where can

1769
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:25,759
Speaker 1: I find accurate statistics about death rates related to police actions?

1770
01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 1: I would like to be able to talk intelligently about

1771
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:34,679
Speaker 1: the subject using actual data, Edgar death rates using about

1772
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: police actions? You can find The Washington Post is keeping

1773
01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: a running running tally. I haven't looked, and I haven't

1774
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:45,719
Speaker 1: really spent much time diving into whether there is any

1775
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 1: question about how they use those or how they pull

1776
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 1: those numbers together or anything else. But it's pretty detailed

1777
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 1: from what I understand. So the Washington Post is actually

1778
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 1: keeping a running number of people who are killed by

1779
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 1: long for it's I think it's a little under a

1780
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,360
Speaker 1: thousand people a year killed by law enforcement of this country.

1781
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 1: But that includes people who pull a gun and start

1782
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:06,840
Speaker 1: shooting at cops. Right. So that's why when you look

1783
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 1: at the number of people that are killed who weren't

1784
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:12,640
Speaker 1: doing anything at all, or who are I shouldn't even

1785
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 1: say at all, necessarily depends on the case a specific case.

1786
01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: But people who were not actively attacking cops with a

1787
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: lethal weapon, you get down under one hundred very quickly.

1788
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 1: So yep, let's see here. That's my best answer for

1789
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 1: you on that one. And Michael, it is only fitting

1790
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 1: that you bring up the Baltimore Police. But the Baltimore

1791
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,759
Speaker 1: but the oh sorry, the BS whoops had another effect

1792
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: that people need to be reminded of. They could any

1793
01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: police officer that could walked, leaving those behind with such

1794
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:47,320
Speaker 1: a depleted force, it was ineffectual for quite a while

1795
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:50,600
Speaker 1: and still not functioning well today, though they do the

1796
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:54,680
Speaker 1: best job they can. Yeah, I am, I'm not surprised

1797
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: to hear this. I'm not surprised at all that well, No,

1798
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm and I actually knew this about Baltimore, but to

1799
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 1: be reminded of it, I appreciate. Yeah, Baltimore was in

1800
01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:08,640
Speaker 1: very very bad shape for and still isn't. You go

1801
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:14,759
Speaker 1: to Baltimore and it's it's pretty astounding how how people

1802
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,960
Speaker 1: just accept a degree of criminality on the streets. So

1803
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 1: that's that's what just what just happens. Um So anyway,

1804
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 1: it's uh, yeah, that's that's what's going on there. Trying

1805
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 1: to put something else out of your Here we go, Ryan, right, Buck,

1806
