1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay Travis 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. I am back from vacation. Clay 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: held it down, and we've got a lot of big 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: news to talk to you about here. I will say, Clay, 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: some people are saying Highland's North Carolina, beautiful place, beautiful place, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: big fan. But I had to spend my morning today 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: in preparation for the show, watching a doozy of a 8 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: press conference. I think that's a fair way to describe it. 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: The biggest takeaway from it, although there are many takeaways, 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: and we shall describe in some detail for you what's 11 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: going on here, But the big, biggest, single takeaway is 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: that President Trump has decided that he will invoke his 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Section seven forty of the Home Rule Act Power for 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: the District of Columbia Washington, d C. Which gives the 15 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: President of the United States the ability to commander the 16 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: Metro Police Department, which is the local police in Washington, 17 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: d C. Because of an emergency situation. We have the 18 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: President describing this. Actually, let's let you hear from President 19 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Trump directly on this. It was quite a moment. This 20 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: has cut one play under. 21 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: The authorities vested in me as the President of the 22 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: United States, I'm officially invoking Section seventy forty of the 23 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what that is, 24 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. 25 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: And you'll be meeting the people that will be directly 26 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: involved with that. Very good people, but they're tough and 27 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: they know what's happening, and they've done it before. In addition, 28 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: I'm deploying the National Guard to help re establish law 29 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: order of public safety in Washington, DC, and they're. 30 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: Going to be allowed to do their job properly. 31 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: This is a big move from the President. I'd say 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: I really like this and support this, and we'll get 33 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: into some of the details of this, Clay, but essentially 34 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: the President is saying enough is enough DC, which, as 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: we are very honest with you, I am fond of 36 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: the district, as is Clay. We've both lived there. Clay 37 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: went to college there. I live there as a CIA 38 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: analyst way back in the day, and then later on 39 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: in life as a media personality for a short while, 40 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: so we both spent a lot of time in DC. 41 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: The crime situation there is way too high. Let's just 42 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: put it that way, Clay. They're running all these stories. Now, oh, 43 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: crime is the lowest it is. Don't we all want 44 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: there to be no crime in our nation's capital. Shouldn't 45 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: this be something where we can get some degree and 46 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: we'll get into why there isn't bipartisan agreement. There are 47 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: a number of reasons for this, but there's a whole 48 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: I think of options and opportunities here to bring the 49 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: crime level down to Tokyo levels. I mean, that's really 50 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: what we would like to see instead of We've had 51 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: fewer carjackings by fifteen year olds, fewer people shot and 52 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: murdered in the streets of our nation's capital for no reason. 53 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: How about shooting for none, Clay. How about deciding that 54 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: we're not going to allow this madness to continue? Because 55 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: you and I are both familiar with it. DC was 56 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: always more dangerous when I lived there than post New 57 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: York City, post Giuliani. Rather New York City, It wasn't 58 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: even close. DC was always a far more rough place 59 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: to be starting around the early two thousands. 60 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: This is an example of something that Trump is doing 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: that should have one hundred percent approval, that Democrats will 62 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 4: automatically hate, and I think It's indicative of why the 63 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 4: Democrat brand is in the toilet, because whether you are 64 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 4: a Democrat, Republican, or an independent, or just somebody who 65 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 4: doesn't vote at all, you should want our nation's capital 66 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 4: to be safe, no matter what your politics are. You 67 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 4: should want big cities in this country to be safe everywhere. 68 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: And I think Trump sees Washington, d C. As a 69 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: jewel of the nation. As we talked about last week. 70 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: If you look at the rates of murder in DC 71 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 4: compared to virtually every major city in the world, DC 72 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: is off the charts unacceptably violent. And you've got Judge 73 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 4: Jenine who is in position now as the DC Attorney 74 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: of record there. And I think what we are basically 75 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 4: seeing is Trump wants to fix problems that exist everywhere. 76 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: And even in that press conference said, hey, we've solved 77 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: everything at the border. We are in the process of 78 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 4: resolving many different issues associated with trade and balances and 79 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 4: economic issues and everything else. But even in that press conference, 80 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: which was a tour to force let's be on, we 81 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: went from Joe Biden can't even take a question from 82 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 4: the press without it being written out in advance on 83 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: a note card for him to as you said, Buck, Yes, 84 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 4: the ostensible purpose of the press conference was to discuss DC. 85 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 4: But Trump took questions on China, He took questions on 86 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: Putin and Russia and the situation in Ukraine, basically everything 87 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 4: under the sun, with no preconceived, to my knowledge, knowledge 88 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 4: of where the questions were coming, and he handled them 89 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: with a plum. 90 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Right, we'll address that as well. He talked because, of 91 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: course the press asked him about the big thing on 92 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: the horizon, the planned meeting in Alaska of Vladimir Putin 93 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump to try to bring an end to 94 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: the Ukraine conflict. Trump got into some specifics. There also 95 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: some discussion of well Trump's brought up the transports issue, Clay, 96 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: basically just to be like, like you say, they are yeah, 97 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: just you guys are nuts. Just to be clear, Democrats, 98 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: you're nuts. Trump just threw that in. I appreciate that. 99 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: You know, you had to was season the sauce a 100 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: little bit, you know, you had to spice it up. 101 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, by the way, you are the lunatics 102 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: who think that men should play against women in sports. 103 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: So not really that into hearing what the Democrats have 104 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: to say on any particular issue, but he also talked 105 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: about Nvidia with a deal to sell chips to China. 106 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: He addressed some of the concerns around that. So to 107 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: your point, Clay covered a whole range of issues and 108 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: also makes jokes and it's funny and the whole thing. 109 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a trump athon, Okay, it was 110 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: a trump bonanza up there. He also had Pete Hegseth 111 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: in the mix, Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, Judge Janine. 112 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: This is very important. Judge Janine is the US Attorney 113 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: for the District of Columbia. Because there's the police and 114 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: the prosecution components of this that have to get aligned, 115 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: and that's a big deal. But we've all seen I'm 116 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: sure law and Order, right. I mean, I remember waking 117 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: up hungover in college and I think I would watch 118 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: sometimes like six hours of Law and Order in a 119 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: row on a rainy Saturday. Law and order is addictive, 120 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: but it's the police, you know, the detectives who investigate crimes, 121 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: and then the prosecutors who handle them. It's actually a 122 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: good way to think about these issues, Clay. The issue 123 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: isn't just in DC getting to the arrest and Judge 124 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: Janede made this very clear. It's what happens to the 125 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: people that do the very bad thing once the prosecution 126 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: is supposed to bring a case against them. And a 127 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: huge problem they have in DC is you have these youths. 128 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: I think that's how they're generally referred to in the press, 129 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: people under eighteen who are doing very adult crimes. And 130 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: you know this, this gets into this area of Okay, 131 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: if you shot somebody and didn't kill them and you're seventeen, 132 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: Judge Janine says that you can get probation for this. 133 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: This is stunning, right, I mean, if you don't murder somebody, 134 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: rape somebody, you know, forcible rape somebody. There's a few 135 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: other crimes that she pointed out, you can be sixteen 136 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: or seventeen and get that. Essentially is you know, you 137 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: give me fourteen or fifteen. By the way, what the 138 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: heck is going on when we have a society that 139 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: is producing fourteen year olds who are trying to carjack 140 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: people fourteen year olds? 141 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 4: This is that I went usually with DC. I think 142 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 4: it's just there's no dads in homes. I mean, I 143 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 4: think you really get down when you have a fourteen 144 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 4: year old trying to carjack somebody it's a fundamental failure 145 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 4: of parenting because those kids are so young. That should 146 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 4: never be happening. And I think it's that we've knocked 147 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: dads out of so many of these homes. I bet 148 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 4: every fourteen year old in America almost that is getting 149 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 4: arrested for something like carjacking. 150 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: There is no dat at home. I'm almost one hundred percent. Well, 151 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: that's your going now to even more upstream or root 152 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: cause of the problem. And that's obviously true. And the 153 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: data on this about and people get very upset about this, 154 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: but it is just the truth. We're talking data. When 155 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: we talk data and statistics. I don't really care if 156 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: people get upset by it. In fact, it's probably a 157 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: good thing that people hear data and statistics that upsets them, 158 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: because they need to hear it. If they don't already 159 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: know it, or they don't already understand the implications, they 160 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: need to hear it, which basically means almost every Democrat 161 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: that you know. I will say, Clay, I have I 162 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: have a close, close friend who, let's just say, has 163 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: been very close to the mayor of DC. And the 164 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: interesting thing here is that Mayor Bowser would like crime 165 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: to go down and would like to do more. What 166 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: prevents her from doing more? Politically speaking, I'm not saying that, 167 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not absolving her here, you know, but Trump. 168 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: You'll notice Trump isn't as hard on Bowser as he 169 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: is on like a Gavin you know, Gavin Newscum or 170 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, the mayor of Chicago. I mean, there are 171 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: there are people who are in positions of authority in 172 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,119 Speaker 1: this country, mayors and police commissioners specifically, and city councils 173 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: who are just flatly insane. They're pro crime. They're all Democrats. 174 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: There are no Republicans who are actively pro crime. There 175 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: are Democrats who are actively pro crime. And the problem 176 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: in a place like DC is that the city council 177 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: is insane, and there are considerable contingents of the black 178 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: community in DC that react very angrily and politically to 179 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: any crackdown by police. So what this does is it 180 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: creates a situation where President Trump, now by federalizing this issue, 181 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: could dramatically bring down the crime rate in our nation's capital. 182 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: I said could, but it is possible, and then you 183 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: would have Bowser the mayor. Obviously she's a black woman, 184 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: she's the mayor of DC been mayor for years, is 185 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: in a sense insulated from the political blowback among some 186 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: members of the black community for the crackdown that will 187 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: make all members of the black community and all DC 188 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: residents safer. This is this goes very deep. But this 189 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: is the problem. Why is there such pushback because Democrats 190 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: play this game and elected democrats, the City Council plays 191 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: this game. Clay, people forget this, and we can get 192 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: into a little more of the Home Rule of nineteen 193 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: seventy three Act and how to know how to affect DC. 194 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: Congress has ultimate responsibility for DC. There is the Home 195 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: Rule means that there's the mayor, and there is a 196 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: local jurisdictional situation for and you know, you can vote 197 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: for the people in charge of your day to life 198 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: in DC. But the President Trump actually has some specific 199 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: authorities as the president, especially under an emergency declaration like this. 200 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: Congress not only can deal with budgets in the district, 201 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: Congress can override legislation passed by the DC City Council. 202 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: And I would remind everybody that I forget the year, 203 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: but it was pretty recent where Congress stepped in to 204 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: override the DC City Council making the punishment for carjacking less. Yeah, 205 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: too crazy even for Democrats. So this gives you a 206 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: sense of what they're dealing with Clay in the city 207 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: of well in our capital city. 208 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, and here is the data that I think ultimately 209 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: brings this home. Let me hit you with this as 210 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 4: we uh, as we go into the first break, and 211 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 4: I would just say open phone lines. By the way, 212 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 4: we're going to talk with Congressman Jim Jordan at the 213 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 4: bottom of the hour. 214 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: He's got some news. 215 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 4: We'll discuss what he thinks about whether there should be 216 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: more control taken over of DC, among other things. But Buck, 217 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 4: we mentioned this last week. The White House just shared this. 218 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 4: I want anyone out there to defend this, regardless of 219 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: your politics. 220 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and two A two two eight A two. 221 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 4: The twenty twenty four murder rate in Washington, DC was 222 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: twenty seven point five per one hundred thousand, Right residents, 223 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 4: listen to these other cities that aren't exactly known for 224 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 4: being wildly safe. Bogata, Columbia you heard Trump talking about 225 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: at fifteen point one, Mexico City ten point six. So 226 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 4: our murder rate is nearly triple what the Mexico City 227 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 4: murder rate is listen to some of. 228 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: These other London's is easy because you can barely measure 229 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: it per one hundred thousand, which is what they usually do. 230 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: P one hundred thousand homicides is how you get these numbers. 231 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: London's is one. 232 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 4: Yes, one, but I mean Islamabad do we think, hey, 233 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 4: this is gonna Let's see nine point two, Lima Peru 234 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 4: seven point six, Paris one point six. You heard buck 235 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 4: mention that London is won, Madrid is under one, Delhi 236 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 4: in India is one point five, Havana, Cuba is one 237 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 4: point five. Why would anyone I think this is a 238 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 4: sign of how broken Democrat ideas are. We've got a 239 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 4: clip we'll share it for you eventually of MSNBC coming in, 240 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: an analyst coming on and saying, well, this is the 241 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 4: evidence of Trump's racism, that he's trying to crack down 242 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: on crime and Washington DC. Their ideas are broken and 243 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 4: they don't want good things to happen if Trump is 244 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 4: involved in them, because that points out how they were 245 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 4: unable to fix things. 246 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: To one of the initial points you made, Clay, this 247 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: is something that everyone reasonably rationally should be behind. Democrats 248 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: won't and this is both the right thing to do 249 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: and the smart thing to do. The right thing to 250 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: do because it'll mean fewer carjackings, fewer murders, fewer rapes, 251 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: fewer gang stabbings, which will disproportionately, by the way, mean 252 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: less of that happening in the black community in DC. 253 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: I already gave the stats. We know what the stats are. 254 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: Over ninety percent of those who are incarcerated in the 255 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: District of Columbia for crimes committed there are black. So 256 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: it will disproportionately affect members of the black community who 257 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: are law abiding, who want to be able to go 258 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: on the metro or go to work, or just walk 259 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: through the park and not be stabbed or attack. And 260 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: it's going to be high profile. This is why it's smart. 261 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: It's going to be something that even the press is 262 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: going to have to cover. They don't want to, but 263 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: they will because it is our nation's capital and they 264 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: live there. Where does the media live New York and DC? 265 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: If this is going on in their backyard, guess what 266 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: they're going to have to deal with this? And this 267 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: can show the failure of Democrat policies on crime and 268 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: the success of Trump and the Republicans on this issue 269 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: in a way that will become unavoidable. I think it's 270 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: a really big deal, a big moment. I'm very pleased 271 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: to see the president doing it. Let's talk about gold 272 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: for a second. Gold is the precious metal that people 273 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: have gone for centuries to find to start their fortune 274 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: right because we all know that gold is valuable. It 275 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: has been valuable for really all of human civilization. Owning 276 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: gold is good, it makes sense, and physical gold, the 277 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: kind you can hold in your hand, is a smart investment. 278 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: I've been buying gold for over a decade now, and 279 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: you know you can invest in your four oh one 280 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: k or ira with gold. You can buy a gold 281 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: ira or four o one k. Thanks to our friends 282 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: at the Birch Gold Group.

That's just 284 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: data available for anyone to pull. Take a look at themselves. 285 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: Forty three percent in a year. We're waiting for Trump's 286 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: economy to fully blossom, but there's still a lot of 287 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: spending and a lot of challenges long term. You need 288 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: to take action for You can't rely on what the 289 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: federal government's doing, no matter how good this administration is 290 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: and they've been pretty fantastic.

My my good buddy 310 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 6: Mark Medows, former colleague of ours and great Congressman great 311 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 6: keep of staff down in that neck of the woods. 312 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 6: So yeah, beautiful down there. 313 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm spreading, I'm spreading the word. So Congressman, 314 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: let's let's dive right into this. I watched the whole 315 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: press conference this morning, which was enthralling, both both very 316 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: informative and enthralling. Trump in Fuego. But all this issue 317 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: of crime. You know, you got two guys here, Clay 318 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: and Buck, who have both lived in d C. And 319 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: I feel very passionately about this. That place should be 320 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: a lot safer than it is. It's go time. 321 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree, And the President is I 322 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 6: think that made the right decision. And I think he's 323 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 6: going to notify Congress because he can do this for 324 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 6: like a month, so thirty days, I think is what 325 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 6: the law says, and then then of course has to 326 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 6: be a vote. But I think he's going to send 327 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 6: you know what, his what what he you know, his 328 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 6: justification for why this is necessary, and I certainly think 329 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 6: it is. What do we capitals around the world. We 330 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 6: have the highest violent crime rate of just about amy, 331 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 6: I believe, and of course we know what's happened in 332 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 6: day to day. We even happened to had what a 333 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 6: member of Congress a while back get their car taken 334 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 6: from him. So I think that's justified. And then it'll 335 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 6: come to Congress, and frankly, I think we should support 336 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 6: the president if he thinks this is something that needs 337 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 6: to go longer than the thirty days. 338 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 4: You Congressman, appreciate you coming on. I just want to 339 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 4: hit this because we talk about how crazy this is 340 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 4: in general, but whatever Trump does, Democrats line up to oppose. 341 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 4: This is the majority leader in the House for the 342 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 4: Democrat Party. Hakeem Jefferies just tweeted violent crime in Washington, 343 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 4: d C Is at thirty year low. I think that's 344 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 4: very disputable. But let's go ahead and accept Donald Trump 345 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 4: has no basis to take over the local police department 346 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 4: and zero credibility on the issue of law and order. 347 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: It lost. 348 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 4: I mean, even within the construct of craziness for Trump 349 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: derangement syndrome is being opposed to a lower crime rate 350 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 4: in Washington, d C. Staggering. To even see Democrats stand 351 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 4: up in favor of. 352 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 6: Now the left doesn't make sense. I always say, not 353 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 6: all Democrats are crazy, but the left that controlled their 354 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 6: party is, and they got all these just wild ideas, 355 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 6: and as you point out, Clay, they're just constantly against 356 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 6: the president that that Trump's arrangement syndrome is truly a 357 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 6: real phenomenon, no doubt about it. But yeah, this, you know, 358 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 6: think about all the people who come to our capital 359 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 6: as tourists, typically during the spring and sorrow spring months. Yeah, 360 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 6: during terry blossom when they're terry blossoms are pulled, the 361 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 6: number of people who come. They would like to know 362 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 6: that their their capital is safe. And more and more 363 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 6: we're hearing about things happening not only to citizen but 364 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 6: the actual members of Congress that are just wrong. So 365 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 6: you want a safe capital, you want to I think 366 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 6: everything the President said, you want a beautiful capital, want 367 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 6: to say capital, you want people to want to come 368 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 6: to your capital to celebrate the history of the greatest 369 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 6: country in the world. And I think that's all in 370 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 6: play here if we have this level of crime. So again, 371 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 6: I think the President is doing the common sense thing. 372 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 6: He says this all the time. It's the difference between 373 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 6: Republicans and Democrats the day, between conservatives and the left 374 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 6: is the difference between normal and crazy. And we're the 375 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 6: common sense, normal party. They're now the Party of Crazy, 376 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 6: defund the police, let men compete against women in sports, 377 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 6: don't allow violent crime to happen in on and on 378 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 6: and go. So I think this is just consistent with 379 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 6: that common sense theme and a good move. 380 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of common sense, or maybe the lack thereof congressmen 381 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: to the degree that you can speak to this, I 382 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: might ask you to name any of your colleagues in 383 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: the Congress. But the Democrats, you know, this is something 384 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: that does affect them because they got to walk around 385 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: and live in the environs of both Capitol Hill and Washington, 386 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: d C. Capitol Hill, sketchy stuff happens around They're really 387 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: bad stuff happens around there on a far too regular basis. 388 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,479 Speaker 1: Do they all privately admit that the capital has got 389 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: way too much crime? Or have they diluted themselves into it? 390 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 6: Really? 391 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: Is it a thirty year low? 392 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 6: Well, I think what happens buck is I mean, I 393 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 6: just think about you know, the way Polly and I 394 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 6: way we handle We don't go, we don't stray far 395 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 6: from the Capitol, and if you do, you're in a car. 396 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 6: So it's literally there are days where the most I'm 397 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 6: outside is a half a block from the Cannon House 398 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 6: office building. There's three you know, three office complex to 399 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 6: the to the Capitol Hill Club, which is the half 400 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 6: a block away. Everything else it's actually either in the 401 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 6: building in the tunnel over to the Capitol. You're just 402 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 6: not outside. So we live in this in somewhat of 403 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 6: a I think a bubble where we may not feel 404 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 6: what so many other citizens are feeling, what tourists are feeling. Now, 405 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 6: some people walk a little farther and they're a little 406 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 6: farther out in campus. My guess is they're a little nervous. 407 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 6: Particularly we've got late boats, late committee hearings, you're walking 408 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 6: home at night. So normally what we'll do is if 409 00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 6: we got something like that and we're going to go 410 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 6: and where we're always in a car and we're getting 411 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 6: picked up right outside the garage or maybe even in 412 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 6: the garage there at at the Raver and office building. 413 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 6: So I think we live in a different world. But 414 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 6: for the families coming or federal employees who are working there, 415 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 6: like this young man worked for Doshan who was attacked, 416 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 6: I think that's a different story. But that's who we're 417 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 6: supposed to be serving. That's who we're supposed to be 418 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 6: protecting and that's what President Trump's decision is all about today. 419 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and we had a young intern I believe from Illinois, 420 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken, who was shot and killed on 421 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 4: the street. I know it was a big deal on 422 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 4: Capitol Hill. Now also today your committee, I just came 423 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 4: from the Atlanta Braves. Your committee has sent letters to 424 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: the heads of the NHL, NFL, Major League Baseball, and 425 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 4: the NBA going after blackouts on television. Bus got brothers 426 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: who I better are frustrated by this. I know I 427 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 4: have been supremely frustrated by this, and many sports fans are. 428 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: It's getting more expensive and harder to watch. What are 429 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 4: you working on there? 430 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, the whole system now is really complicated for 431 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 6: sports fans, and frankly, it's really expensive if you want 432 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 6: to watch your team play their games. You know, some 433 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 6: people want to buy the package and watch. But this 434 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 6: all stems from the nineteen sixty one Broadcasting Act, which 435 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 6: gave the n any Trust exemption to to the major 436 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 6: sports leagues. We understand that, but we're not in just 437 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 6: the broadcast world anymore. We got streaming, we got we 438 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 6: got all kinds of things. Cable streaming, you name it, 439 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 6: we have it, and so we're concerned about how this 440 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 6: impacts fans who who if you I think you tweeted 441 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 6: this out a play you want to watch your team 442 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 6: play every game, you want to buy a package. It 443 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 6: can cost as much as like a thousand bucks a year. 444 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 6: To what I remember growing up, I could watch the 445 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 6: Reds every weekend. Any game you wanted to see. The 446 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 6: Reds were on Cincinnati or Dayton television, you could watch that. 447 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 6: That's not always the case today because of the blackouts 448 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 6: and other things that take place. So that's our concern, 449 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 6: the how expensive it is, how complicated it is if 450 00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 6: you want to watch and then all, well, you can 451 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 6: this game. But if you're you don't live in the market, 452 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 6: the actual network market, You're somewhere else, but you still 453 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 6: want to watch the team you grew up watching, and 454 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 6: they're blacked out in the city you now have because 455 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 6: they're not sold out for some other reason. It's like, 456 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 6: what is going on? So we just want to talk 457 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 6: to these folks, and it's it's a concern we have 458 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 6: with We've got concerns with college sports. That's a slightly 459 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 6: different thing there. We're trying to work on that Americans 460 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 6: love sports. They love to watch their team, their their college, 461 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 6: their their pro team. So we just want to talk 462 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 6: with these major league or these uh these professional sports 463 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 6: leagues and see what's exactly going on. 464 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 4: Are you Are you optimistic by the way that you're 465 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 4: going to get an answer? Trust Bill Past the Score Act. 466 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 4: I think it's called to help and regulate what's going 467 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 4: to happen with college athletics in particular. 468 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 6: Well, it's out of the committee and we have a 469 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 6: we have a handful of Democrats who it had co 470 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 6: sponsored it. So I do think we have a real 471 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 6: chance to get this done. And I think we talked 472 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 6: you know a few weeks back. Are our focus when 473 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 6: we started this. We want to maintain real competition. I 474 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 6: just have a few teams with all the money always dominate. 475 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 6: We want real competition. We want to maintain opportunities. So 476 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 6: we're concerned about women's sports and particularly Olympic sports. The 477 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 6: USOC has been in talk to us about the direction 478 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 6: college sports are headed if we didn't do something, and 479 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 6: we also want to try to remember that we're this 480 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 6: is supposed to be about giving an education as well. 481 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 6: In this current environment, you got people playing seven years 482 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 6: with red shirts and Olympic red shirts and different things, 483 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 6: and making all kinds of money and transferring five times 484 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 6: and never getting a degree. So that's what we're trying 485 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 6: to do. We think that bill is good. We're hopeful 486 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 6: it's going to be on the floor. We get it 487 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 6: past the House and then move on. And we think 488 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 6: our legislation, frankly, is also entirely consistent with the executive 489 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 6: order that President Trump put out, who's also very concerned 490 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 6: about the Olympic movement, Olympic sports, and the fact that 491 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 6: we you know, we got the Olympics coming here in 492 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 6: a few years. To the United States. 493 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: Congress and Jim Jordan, appreciate you, sir, Thanks for coming by. 494 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 6: You bet guys, take care, keep up the good work. 495 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: I'll look at this just in time for me to 496 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: take a little library action here. I got apex glue 497 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: to thione from my friends at Chalk. I'm believing glue 498 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: to thion.

But last week 532 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 5: we talked a lot about the redistricting battle going on 533 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 5: surrounding Texas, and we talked about, look, whatever your ideas 534 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 5: are on this, the idea that of all the places 535 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 5: the Texan lawmakers could have fled to, they went to Illinois, 536 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 5: which is one of the most jerrymandered states in the 537 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 5: entire country. 538 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: Maybe JB. 539 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 4: Pritzker was paying for all their hotel rooms and everything else, 540 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 4: But even left wing media we're not able to overlook 541 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 4: how hypocritical that was. 542 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: And so JB. 543 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 4: Pritzker went on Meet the Press to try to make 544 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 4: the argument that this was unacceptable, and we've got a 545 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 4: couple of different cuts here of Meet the Press, I 546 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 4: refer to this, I think on social media buck as 547 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 4: the equivalent of the Russian judge disqualifying the Russian skater. 548 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 4: You've got the whole rig job in your favor, and 549 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: you still get absolutely lambasted like this. Here is cut 550 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 4: eleven Pritzer Pritzker getting challenged on Meet the Press. 551 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 7: Every major group degrades the fairness of congressional maps, gives 552 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 7: your state an aspect. Common Cause and nonpartisan government watchdog 553 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 7: even says your map, and I'm going to quote represents 554 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 7: a nearly perfect model for everything that can go wrong 555 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 7: with redistrictingt we talk about preserving democracy, How do you 556 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 7: preserve democracy if you're using the same tactics that you've 557 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 7: criticized Texas Republicans for. 558 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: What they're talking about is a distraction. 559 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 8: The reality is that the violation of people's voting rights 560 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 8: is what Texas is attempting to do. 561 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 3: That's what's wrong with their efforts right now. 562 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 8: And the fact that the President of the United States 563 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 8: knows it and nevertheless is asking them to do it. 564 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 8: That is what's wrong with what we're seeing right now. 565 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 8: Democracy is at stake. 566 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: This is cam Yeah, yeah, this is him thinking I 567 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: can just talking points steamroll the fact that my argument 568 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: is is trash. The argument that is being made by 569 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: Democrats on this, especially people like Pritzker who are coming 570 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: from a state like Illinois, is garbage. All they're saying 571 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: is I don't like when they do what I do. 572 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: When they do it, it's bad. When I do it, 573 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: it's good. That is the sum total of their argument, 574 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: to be clear, there's nothing beyond that. It's Republicans are icky, 575 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: they're bad. I'm good, So I get to do the 576 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: things that they do, and you're supposed to like it 577 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: when I do it and not like it. And this 578 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: is like arguing with toddlers. They have nothing beyond that. 579 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: Notice he didn't even engage with what she said. You 580 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: don't have to know anything about Jerry Mandrick. If you 581 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: look at a map of congressional districts in Illinois, you'd 582 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: say to yourself, the heck is that? Yeahs bizarre? 583 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 4: And she followed up, but I do think this is 584 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 4: important what you just said. And I think the media 585 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,239 Speaker 4: is getting a little bit embarrassed. Even as shameless as 586 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 4: they are, they're starting to recognize that Texas is just 587 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 4: catching up and doing what California and Illinois and New 588 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 4: York already did. In other words, the redistricting in Texas 589 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 4: is just lagging behind. And we had Greg Abbotta on 590 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 4: last week essentially in many ways making that argument and 591 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 4: buck to her credit, Kristin Welker followed up after that 592 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 4: non answer from JB. Pritzker and said, wait a minute, 593 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 4: President Trump, as we told you on this program, one 594 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 4: forty four percent of the vote in twenty twenty four, 595 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 4: it was look Texas and Florida were actually not as 596 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 4: competitive as Illinois was. I believe if you look at 597 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 4: the raw numbers, Illinois, which is a deep blue state, 598 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 4: Trump got almost forty five percent of the vote. Listen 599 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 4: to cut twelve. 600 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 7: I do want to look at the map of Illinois. 601 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 3: Let's take a look at this. 602 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 7: Despite President Trump winning forty four percent of the statewide 603 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 7: vote in twenty twenty four, Republicans hold only three of 604 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 7: Illinois's seventeen districts. These districts seem to be designed to 605 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 7: maximize democratic advantage. What do you say to those who 606 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 7: argue that it's hypocritical for you to criticize Texas for 607 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 7: partisanship when your state also drew mounts to boost your 608 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 7: party's standing. 609 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 8: Well, remember that what Texas is trying to do is 610 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 8: again violate the voting right sect. 611 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 3: You talked about how rare it is to do what 612 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 3: he's doing. Yes, it is. 613 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 8: What's even rarer is to do it at the behest 614 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 8: of the President of the United States, who's clearly attempting 615 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 8: to and says that he deserves. 616 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 3: To have five more seats. He's wrong. 617 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the non arty's got. He doesn't even make 618 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: an argument. 619 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 4: I just look at so many of these political figures, 620 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 4: and there are Republicans in this camp too. They're just 621 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 4: not serious, intellectual, intelligent individuals who should be representing us. 622 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean, JB. 623 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 4: Pritzker is supposed to be one of the four runner favorites, 624 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 4: four Democrats in twenty twenty eight. He's been elected multiple times, 625 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 4: I believe already in Illinois. His daddy's a billionaire, and 626 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 4: so he's a billionaire. He's not an impressive person. And 627 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 4: to go on knowing that these questions are coming. First 628 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 4: of all, if I were advising jb P. I would 629 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 4: have said, hey, moron, we shouldn't be the place that 630 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 4: is hosting all these Texas democrats. I know you want 631 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 4: to get your face on television, but you're just going 632 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 4: to expose our hypocrisy. And when Kristen Welker is pointing 633 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 4: it out, Kirsten Welker whatever her first name is, is 634 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 4: pointing it out on Meet the Press, you know that 635 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 4: you've really engaged in hypocritical behavior. 636 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: This is this is where you're getting to the we've 637 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: been to the border level when when you have journalists 638 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: who are friendly journalists and you know, journals, we can 639 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: all it's obviously in quotes, but when they won't go 640 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: along because your argument is so dumb that it will 641 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: make them look dumb too. That's the line here that 642 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: Pritzker is crossing the same thing he saw with Lester Hold, 643 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: and he's like, look, Kamala, I like you. You know, 644 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm proud Lester Hold maybe is a little bit I 645 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: actually have a centrist but whatever put that aside. I 646 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: don't know, but clearly he like Kamala Harris, but he's 647 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: not going to sit there while she says we've been 648 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: to the border and he's not going to, you know, 649 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: clap for that for like that's normal, of course, not 650 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: right that he's not going to look like a moron 651 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: on her behalf. And even Welker, I think here is like, look, buddy, 652 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: you guys do what they do. So you got to 653 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: explain this because I don't want to sit here and 654 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: look dumb. I'll be partisan, but I don't want to 655 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: look like I don't have enough brain power to understand 656 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: the argument. So I'm going to have to ask you 657 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: this question. And Prisker's answers are absurd. I mean, this 658 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: is a guy who bought the governorship of a very 659 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: blue state and there's nothing impressive about him. I mean, 660 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: Pritzker HEAVYP needs to figure out better answers to questions 661 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: like this. HEAVYP is a great nickname, except he might 662 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: use it in a positive context. I just I do 663 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: think that what you're seeing here is Trump is delivering 664 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: a masterclass. Time after time Democrats try to argue and 665 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: they get embarrassed. And now we'll talk here in a 666 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: minute about the pivot that's going to happen with the 667 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: big conversation going on in Alaska on Friday, and just 668 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: as they are calling Trump a racist because he's trying 669 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: to decrease the amount of violent crime that's taking place 670 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: in DC. I guarantee you, no matter what happens on Friday, 671 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: they're going to say, oh, Trump is putin stooge. They're 672 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: going to try with the whole Russia collusion and argument again. 673 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: The problem for them, I think is Democrats have reached 674 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: the boy who cries Wolfe scenario. 675 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 4: We saw it in twenty twenty four. I thought they 676 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 4: would learn from it in the first two hundred days 677 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 4: of Trump. 678 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: They have not. 679 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 4: They've continued with the same arguments and they're failing time 680 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 4: after time.

But they've just added five new members. 718 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 4: Smart move to stick with Bricks.

In fact, a 730 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: major theme at the summit is how Bricks nations aim 731 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,320 Speaker 1: to reduce reliance on the US dollar in global trade. 732 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 9: Yikes, that doesn't sound good.

That 739 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 10: shift doesn't happen overnight, but make no mistake, it's already begun. 740 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, Philip.

As we said, Trump meeting 753 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: on Friday with Putin. He's gonna sit down with him 754 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: and try to hammer out some kind of a deal. 755 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: He says, they'll be land swaps. I watched the whole 756 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: press conference this morning, and it was, like I said, 757 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,399 Speaker 1: both very informative and very entertaining. That's one thing about Trump. 758 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: This is the quick aside one thing about Trump that 759 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: when he's no longer president, I think everybody, everybody will miss. 760 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,760 Speaker 1: Politics is never going to be as as at that level, 761 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: as amusing and engaging as it has been for us 762 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: in the Trump era. Like you're just not going to 763 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: have somebody I think very unlikely you're going to have 764 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: anybody who. I mean, Trump is just such a phenomenon 765 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: when it comes to just the things he says and 766 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: the way he says it and how he presents you know, 767 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: I remember even the excuse me, I remember during the 768 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: Obama years having to watch press conference so boring, so boring. 769 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: Remember watching Jay Carney, Everybody watching smarmy Jake Carney up 770 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: there isn't what the president thanks. It's like, ugh, it 771 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: was so boring. It was like that felt like a job. 772 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: Watching a Trump press conference is entertainment. It's not really 773 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: a job. It's like I'm getting paid to watch soap 774 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: opera or something. I just want. 775 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 4: I mean to reiterate that enjoy it because I don't know, 776 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 4: not only just in terms of sheer enjoyment, but also 777 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 4: just in terms of trying to fix everything that's wrong 778 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:44,280 Speaker 4: at once, which Trump is uniquely focused on. Most politicians 779 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 4: are obsessed with trying to get re elected. Trump is obviously, 780 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 4: I know he's saying, Hey, I'd like to run again, 781 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 4: and by the way, I think a lot of people 782 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 4: would like to vote for him again. His term is 783 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 4: going to end in January of twenty nine. And this 784 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 4: is what I've said on the show for some time, 785 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,800 Speaker 4: and some of you immediately respond to tell me I'm crazy, 786 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 4: but I think you actually agree with this take. As 787 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 4: soon as the midterms are over, Democrats are going to 788 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 4: pivot from Trump is Hitler to Republicans are never going 789 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 4: to have a politician as good as Trump. He's a 790 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 4: one in a million. They're never gonna the MAGA base 791 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 4: is not going to follow the new guy. He's a 792 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 4: once in a lifetime president. That watch how quickly that 793 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 4: pivot happens from He's Hitler. Democracy is over to you, guys, 794 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 4: are never going to have anybody this good, and it's 795 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 4: going to make your head spind how quickly it happens. 796 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,240 Speaker 4: But as soon as the midterms are over, boom, We're on. 797 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 1: To the next race. You know, I was. I told 798 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: everybody that I was in. I was in Highlands North Carolina, 799 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 1: not to be confused with the Highlands of Scotland. Highland 800 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Highlands North Carolina. Loved it. You know what's 801 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: funny though, was we flew into Ashville. You know what 802 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: I was unable to attend, unfortunately, Clay there was a 803 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 1: big Bernie Sanders rally in Ashville. Now, I can't throw 804 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: too much shade at Asheville because despite the fact that 805 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: it is a place of a lot of leftism, it's 806 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: very beautiful area, but a lot of leftism. A lot 807 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,319 Speaker 1: of people walking around as well, with purple hair, nose 808 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: rings and a tremendous amount of indecipherable tattoos. I'm just 809 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: saying this is what I observed. Men do they have 810 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: good brunch, food and coffee shops. I gotta say, I 811 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: don't know what it is. Something about anarchists who look 812 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 1: like they haven't talked to their parents in a very 813 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,720 Speaker 1: long time and have a lot of piercings and whatever. 814 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: The gauge I think it's called the gauge when you 815 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: have the big round thing in your eat. Right, man, 816 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: they make a good latte. I don't know what to say. 817 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm a coffee guys. We all know they 818 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,240 Speaker 1: make a good latte. But Bernie did a rally there 819 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: and I just think it's this is the guy. He 820 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: is still the guy for Democrats. The biggest draw on 821 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 1: the stump is Bernie Sanders. Here he is on the 822 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: here he is on the Jerryman and this is fourteen. 823 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: This is Bernie Sanders, lay weighing in, laying into it, 824 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: play it. You think democratic governors should try to push back. 825 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: I think. 826 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 11: I think they have no choice. I mean what Trump 827 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 11: is trying to re understands that there is a good 828 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 11: chance that the Republicans will lose control over the House. 829 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 11: I would hope the Senate as well. That'll be a 830 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 11: tough fight. So we're trying to make, you know, in 831 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 11: his authoritarian way, say hey, I don't want to lose elections. 832 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 11: Let's rig the system. Give me five more votes in 833 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 11: Texas to me maybe some other stakes. So what should 834 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 11: Democrats do sit back and say, oh, gee, Trump is 835 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 11: doing as terrible, we can't do anything. Let them win 836 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 11: the election when they shouldn't. So Democrats have got to 837 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 11: fight back. I think it's pathetic, but I think that's 838 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 11: what they've got to do. 839 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: What is pathetic, First of all, it's the Texas State 840 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: legislature that's going to do the redistrict, not Trump. It's 841 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: just funny. Trump is behind every scary thing Trump is 842 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: hiding under Democrats beds now, every bad thing that they 843 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: don't like, Trump is behind. 844 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:57,479 Speaker 9: Yeah. 845 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 4: And also let me give credit, and this probably going 846 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 4: to shock people. It doesn't surprise me that Bernie has 847 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 4: an audience because I think he's wrong about everything, but 848 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 4: he has a coherent worldview. What is the world like, 849 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 4: what you understand for better or worse. Bernie is a 850 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 4: socialist and he thinks that things are broken in America. 851 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 4: And I go back to a lot of you will 852 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 4: remember this in the twenty fifteen early twenty sixteen New 853 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 4: Hampshire primary, for instance. I guarantee you listening to us 854 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 4: right now, are some died in the world Trump people 855 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 4: who when they were going to vote, they were going 856 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 4: to vote trying to decide between Bernie and Trump in 857 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 4: twenty sixteen because they were the most disruptive candidates out there, 858 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 4: but the Republican side and the Democrat side, and for 859 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 4: people out there who feel like things are broken, what 860 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 4: Bernie offers, I think it makes things worse, but it 861 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 4: is a coherent worldview. What does the Democrat Party stand 862 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 4: for outside of socialism and outside of Bernie? And I 863 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 4: would argue that somewhat this is what is appealing to 864 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 4: individuals about Mom Donnie. What does it Cheam Jefferies represent? 865 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 4: What does Chuck Schumer represent? I don't really think they 866 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 4: have a coherent philosophical. 867 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 9: Worldview that responds to people. 868 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 1: I think the central ethos of the Democrat Party up 869 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: up to this moment and stretching back now for really 870 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: a couple of decades, has been race politics or race communism. 871 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: I really believe this that that's that's the There's other things, 872 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's gender communism or whatever you want to 873 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 1: call it to. There's these other things as well, where 874 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: they take this collectivist and and you know, anti traditionalist, 875 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: anti god, anti morality point of view. There's a lot 876 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 1: of things you could but I think that if you're 877 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: looking for the one thing that you've had to be 878 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: willing to go along with more than any other for 879 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: twenty years in the Democrat Party. It is It is 880 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 1: race communist. It is the race politics, politics, identity policy, 881 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: it's all that, you know. I prefer race communism because 882 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear that I think it 883 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 1: should be completely disparaged and dismissed. And what's so critical 884 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: of what Trump. We're so important about what Trump is 885 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: doing is he's going right at that. The Supreme Court 886 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: has too, I might add, which gets ignored by a 887 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 1: lot of people. All this race communism stuff is illegal 888 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 1: that these places are still doing. They're not actually supposed 889 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,399 Speaker 1: to do this. If the Constitution matters, then Supreme Court 890 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 1: matters to Democrats. And what we see across the board 891 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 1: is these universities playing games, people still playing games with 892 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 1: hiring HR departments, still trying to you know, get away 893 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: with this stuff. But that has been the central unifying 894 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 1: characteristic of the Democrat Party for twenty for you know, 895 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: twenty years is kind of just a rough estimate of it, 896 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: because more so than class it used to be class warfare. 897 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 1: Early two thousands, I think it was more class warfare 898 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 1: stuff that's right, and now, especially going into two thousand 899 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 1: and two thousand and eight era with the Wall Street meltdown, 900 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: But now it really has turned into race politics, and 901 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,880 Speaker 1: Trump is breaking down. And that's why I think the 902 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: Democrats are in such disarray, because the race coalition of 903 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: the Democrats is being shattered. When you see things like 904 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: hold on a second, A majority of black and a 905 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 1: majority of Latino voters, for example, agree with Trump on deportations. Well, well, 906 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, the the oh it's so racist stuff doesn't 907 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: work the same way that it used to. 908 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 4: I also think, and this ties in with what we 909 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 4: started the show with, what did black voters get from BLM? 910 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:39,360 Speaker 1: Nothing? In fact, worse than got worse, nothing but downside. Yeah, yeah, 911 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: everything got worse from BLM. And I think a lot 912 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: of Black voters are looking around now and saying, boy, 913 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: we spray painted a street black Matter, Black Lives Matter, Plaza, 914 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: but thousands of black kids got killed because we said 915 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,919 Speaker 1: cops shouldn't be able to do the job. 916 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 4: And now I think you're gonna see I think a 917 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 4: lot a lot of Black voters are going to say, yeah, 918 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 4: I kind of support Trump calling in more security and 919 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 4: more individuals to stop violent, violent crime from happening, and 920 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 4: the Democrat perspective of violent crime isn't that bad. Do 921 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 4: you think that a mom in Saint Louis or Inner 922 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 4: city Memphis, or Washington, d C. Or Philadelphia, do you 923 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 4: think she's looking around saying, you know what Democrats are right, 924 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 4: Crime's not that bad. We don't need more here. Or 925 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 4: do you think for her son and daughter, do you 926 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 4: think she wants more security on the streets. I think 927 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 4: most black moms and dads want more security on the 928 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 4: streets because they're not, unfortunately, or aware of the people 929 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 4: committing the crimes. 930 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I think, to take your example, though, a lot 931 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 1: of people are told that the problems, especially the problems 932 00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: of poverty and problems of crime and everything, is all 933 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: caused by racism, and that the belief that the Democrats 934 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 1: have instilled in black, white, Asian, Hispanic, you name it, 935 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 1: the belief that Democrats have instilled in their true believers, 936 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 1: is that the problems of crime in major American cities 937 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: are all attributable to racism of the other that that's 938 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: actually the problem, and that's certainly the case with how 939 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 1: they approach police. It's certainly the case with how they 940 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: approach who they're going to vote for. They're going to 941 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 1: vote for the people who are going to continue to 942 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 1: tell them, Hey, it's racism that causes all these problems, 943 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: and if you put me in power, I will attack 944 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,399 Speaker 1: your racist enemies and I will protect you. And unfortunately 945 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 1: that just results in more of what we see, which 946 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: is the degradation of these urban centers, in particular high crime, fatherlessness, poverty, 947 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: lack of education, lack of opportunities go down the whole list. 948 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 4: Think though, that it is increasingly not resonating, and I 949 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 4: think BLM actually exposed it because that was them saying, hey, 950 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 4: we're going to speak out for black lives, and thousands 951 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 4: of innocent black people ended up dead because cops weren't 952 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 4: able to work. 953 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: And you play the only people who know that data 954 00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 1: listen to shows like this. Now that's the problem. But 955 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: I think do you think they talk about this on 956 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: shows where the audience is overwhelmingly urban? Do you think 957 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: they talk about this on they get people that stat 958 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: They do not. They will not tell people that the 959 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 1: DC murder rate in twenty twenty three into twenty twenty four, 960 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,800 Speaker 1: when was one of the highest in history of that city. 961 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 4: But I think they feel that they're being lied to, 962 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 4: and I hope. I mean, look, think about this in 963 00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, and I know it's green shoots. I mean, 964 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 4: it's just starting. One in every five black guys voted Trump. 965 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 4: One in every five. Now, I think it should have 966 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 4: been three in every five, right, because men overwhelmingly voted Trump, 967 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 4: but one out of every five is a big difference. 968 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 4: That means, you know, in a group of five guys 969 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 4: on average that voted, one of them was a Trump guy. 970 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 4: For black voters, that's transformative because that one guy, and 971 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 4: I know a bunch of you are listening to us 972 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 4: right now, and that guy, that black guy out there 973 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 4: who voted Trump. You're now with your buddies sitting around 974 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 4: talking and you can share those stats, because when it's 975 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 4: one in ten or it's one in twenty, it's hard 976 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 4: to be the guy that broaches that topic. I think 977 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 4: when it gets to one in five, in the same 978 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 4: way you sit around and talk about sports, the conversation 979 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 4: is a more natural one. And I think every day 980 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 4: more people are like, wait a minute, we're being sold 981 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 4: to bill of goods. I'm optimistic on the direction this 982 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 4: is going. Could it be going faster? Yes, and I wish, 983 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 4: but I really think it's happening. 984 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 1: Clay is once again the optimistic one here. I'm e 985 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,920 Speaker 1: or sitting here telling you be grumpy about this because 986 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 1: it's not happening fast. People are not realizing the truth 987 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,759 Speaker 1: nearly fast enough on this. I just I just know. Buck. 988 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,400 Speaker 4: Let me give you an example. I was in Atlanta 989 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 4: for the All Star Game. I don't think I mentioned 990 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 4: this on the on the audio. I was, you know, 991 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 4: they had a lot of large security presence for the 992 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 4: All Star Game, right, so I'm staying next door to 993 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 4: the All Star Game. Three different black cops on my 994 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 4: walk from the exit of my hotel to the stadium 995 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:31,320 Speaker 4: era area stopped me. Said, Hey, I'm hearing what you're saying. 996 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 4: Thanks for having our back in Atlanta.
