1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: All right, second hour Clay and Buck kicks off right now, 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: and I said we'd talk about the border, what's going 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: on there. We will do so keep my word, of course, 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: build the lusion. Doing great reporting for Fox News on 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: this issue. Here he has CBP sources have told him 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: help Fox that this is just a couple hours ago. 7 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: Three hundred and two thousand migrants encounters occurred in December 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: by the illegal entries, okay, illegal entry. And then I said, 9 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: three hundred and two thousand in one month. In one month, 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand people came into America illegally. This is 11 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: the first time ever that Border Patrol reports that number 12 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: being hit. And we are now at over three quarters 13 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: of a million migrants since October first, seven hundred and 14 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: sixty thousands. The number I've seen, it's higher too. You 15 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: have to remember they're doing ten thousand illegal entries a day, 16 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: so you know, for every day they come out with 17 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: official numbers, you got to add another ten thousand and 18 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: another ten thousand. So we're talking about now a pace 19 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: of a million plus illegals a quarter coming into America, 20 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: four million plus illegals a year. At that rate, now 21 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: I understand America is a big country. I understand that 22 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: officially we have three hundred and thirty million people, but 23 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: I think that four million people who are coming here 24 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly on false pretenses, lying breaking the law. They break 25 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: the law when they enter the country illegally. Don't ever 26 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: forget that it is effectively trespassing on federal territory to 27 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: cross not a aport of entry, so they trespass on 28 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: the sovereignty of the United States. They enter illegally on purpose, 29 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: They lie about their concerns from back home to get 30 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: past the credible fear test so they can try to 31 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: be in the asylum pipeline. There are millions of cases 32 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: right now backlog for the asylum pipeline, and so then 33 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: you turn around and you say, when is this ever 34 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: going to be adjudicated? The answer is it won't be 35 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: a vast majority of the cases at least. That's what 36 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats are planning on. And what will be the 37 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: function of the courts going forward they think is to 38 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: really I think will be by executive fiat. Is the 39 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: hope that Democrats have. They'll just try to go for 40 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: an amnesty. Maybe it's in steps and it starts with 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: work papers and then I promise not to prosecute, and 42 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: then you know, they just will do everything they can 43 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: to create an amnesty. And I think it's important to 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: return to very fundamental concepts around all this, like why 45 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: have immigration law if this is okay? You know, when 46 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: people like me bring us up and say this is 47 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: a problem, the Democrats, what do you mean? You know, 48 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: they get very huffy about it. We're a nation of immigrants. 49 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: Look at the poem at the Statue of Liberty, you know, 50 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: Em Lazarus poem, Like, I'm pretty sure no one elected 51 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: Emi Lazarus. You're king of the world when it comes 52 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: to immigration, Like, I don't think she's allowed to just 53 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: but you know, this is what people say, And why 54 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: have all these immigration laws that we have? Why is it? 55 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe this just just bothers me 56 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: more than bothers a lot of other people. But the 57 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: same law that these people are breaking and that they refuse, 58 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: the system refuses to enforce and that would mean a 59 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: lot of deportations. Let's just you gotta start saying these 60 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: things out. Lot of people have to be sent back 61 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: to their home countries, not saying you incarcerate these people 62 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: and you know, and separate them from the outside world 63 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: for twenty years. Whatever. I get it. A lot of 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: nice people are coming into the country illegally, a lot 65 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: of hard working people, I get it. But they're not 66 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: allowed to be here. So how do you resolve that? Well, 67 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: if you're not all to be here under the law, 68 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: you should be returned to the country you are allowed 69 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: to be it. That's it. Well, you know, we get 70 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: that going the And for anyone who's just that so horrible, 71 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: that is the law. That is the law. They always 72 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: leave this part out if it's so horrible. Why aren't 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: Democrats in the Senate, in the House. Why isn't the 74 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: Biden White House openly advocating for the elimination of all 75 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: these hurdles to coming into the country legally and just 76 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: create an open border. Why not just say it no? 77 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: Because they want to lie about it and get the 78 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: same result, the result that we're seeing here. They want 79 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: to pretend that they don't want this, but the result 80 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: is exactly what they want. Right. They're shocked to find 81 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: that there's gambling going on in this establishment, right, I mean, they're, 82 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what do you mean all these illegals 83 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: we didn't know all these illegals were coming. Yeah, of 84 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: course you did. And they won't stop it. In fact, 85 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: they'll try to use the they've already brought suit as 86 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: I knew they would against Texas. The federal government does 87 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: not want states like Texas to help control the border, 88 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: to help enforce the law. And the part that makes 89 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: me so angry is now we have a system where 90 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: you know, you, you could be audited and the you know, 91 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: and the I rsk and decide, oh, you should have 92 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: paid this or that, and you know, I don't know, 93 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: maybe you got to spend six months in prison or something. 94 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: Maybe you got to spend a year or two in prison, 95 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, for for tax problems. And you say, well, 96 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: hold on, I mean, you know, the law is the law, 97 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: but really the oh, the law is the law, but 98 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: we can let millions and millions of illegal immigrants break 99 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: the law without consequence whatsoever. And the money that you 100 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: are paying to the government is being used to support 101 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: to the tune of, in a case like New York City, 102 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: billions of dollars. So think about this. You're a New 103 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: York City resident. Let's say a lot of other people 104 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: listening right now, are I was one for over thirty years. 105 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: You're in New York City resident, you have to pay taxes. 106 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: If you don't, they'll lock you up. Does your contribution 107 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: to the tax you know, to the revenue of New 108 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: York City, does that really affect the functioning you're one person. No, 109 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: probably not not at all, of course not. But they 110 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: have to make an example of you because the law 111 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: is the law. But if you won't pay those taxes, 112 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: let's say, to the state of New York, you could 113 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: go to This happened to Trump's is one of his accountants. 114 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: Is Trump has a senior citizen accountant for the Trump, 115 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, Trump corporation. And they sent the guy to 116 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: prison because he didn't put company car use or something. 117 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it was really low level stuff. They sent 118 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: him to prison. But all these illegals we are not 119 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: supposed to be in the country, and who are lying 120 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: and who are using, you know a lot of them 121 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: fake documents and doing all kinds of stuff that's violations 122 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: of law. They get the money that you're supposed to 123 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: pay in under pain of being sent to prison. That 124 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: money is then diverted to illegals against whom the law 125 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: is not actually enforced. I think that's a big problem. 126 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: I think it starts to make people feel like, you know, 127 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: what's the point of this, How is this supposed to work? 128 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: How is the system supposed to hold together? If they're 129 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: going to be making these kinds of determinations really on 130 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: a capricious basis. And that's the part of this that 131 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: I think is so clearly frustrating for anyone who's paying attention. 132 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: Democrats believe that it is in their it is in 133 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: their interest to continue the system, and so they will 134 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: they continue this. They're not honest about it. I mean, 135 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: here is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. You would think his 136 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: focus would be almost entirely on should entirely be on 137 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: bringing down the horrific rate of shootings and violent crime 138 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: in the city of Chicago, But no, that can't be 139 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: focused on that. But here is Brandon Johnson who is 140 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: blaming Governor Abbot of Texas for the problems that places 141 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: like Chicago are facing. This is seventeen play it the 142 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: governor of Texas. 143 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: Governor Abbot is determined to continue to sow seeds of chaos, 144 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: and last night and several nights before a number of 145 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: buses continue to arrive in the city of Chicago throughout 146 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: the country without any coordination, and now he's taken on 147 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: this very dangerous task of placing individuals on airplanes and 148 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 2: flying them into our various cities. This is certainly a 149 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: matter of not just of our national security, but it's 150 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: the type of chaos that this governor is committed to administering. 151 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: Wait a second, he's the one responsible for the chaos. 152 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: He's the one that the governor Abbot is the bad 153 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: guy here. He's trying to enforce the laws when it 154 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: comes to immigration and have Texas secure its border as 155 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: a state, and yes it's also an international border, as 156 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: we know. But he's trying to take action to stop 157 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: the chaos. But the chaos that the mayor of Chicago 158 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: refers to here is moving illegal migrants to Chicago. And 159 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: you sit here and say, what's the problem Chicago, what's 160 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: the problem New York? What's the problem with any of 161 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: these cities? We're in nation of immigrants. This is what 162 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: they've been saying for twenty years. They should want all 163 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: of these illegals. They don't get to play this game, 164 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: although they do, but they shouldn't be allowed to play 165 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: this game of illegals are beyond criticism, So you can't 166 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: publicly talk about how this is a violation of laws, 167 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: this is a massive strain on resources, This is making 168 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: a mockery of US sovereignty. This is changing the political 169 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: and just general culture of the United States at a 170 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: pace that is clearly overwhelming whatever assimilation processes we have 171 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: had a the past. You can't talk about that. But 172 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: if you send them too many illegals, they'll freak out 173 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: and say, hey, what are you doing? That's too much 174 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: of a that's too much of a problem for us. Well, 175 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: hold on, I thought it wasn't a problem at all. 176 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: This is the principle of cognitive dissonance. We've talked about before. 177 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: Illegals are great. You can't criticize them. WHOA why why 178 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: are there so many illegals in my city? Hold on 179 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: a second. They don't see that as being as being 180 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: an issue. That is the cognitive dissonance. One is fine, 181 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: the other is fine. Hold On, that can't be. These 182 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: things are in contradiction to each other. And the team 183 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: just sent me this. Producer ally said this to me. 184 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: I remember seeing this over the break. The California Health 185 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: and Human Services agency has committed eight hundred and thirty 186 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: five million dollars over the course of twenty twenty three, 187 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and two point six billion dollars annually 188 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: to expand full scope medical eligibility, regardless of incomes, regardless 189 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: of immigration status. Now legals get free state healthcare as 190 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: a matter of law in the state of California, free 191 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: healthcare for illegals. You know, it's fraud to be in 192 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: the country illegally and to be accessing benefits as fraud, right, 193 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean, if you took a PPP loan and you 194 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: didn't use it to pay your staff, but you bought 195 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: a couple of Lamborghinis, it's like, hold on, that's fraud. 196 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: But if you're in the country illegally, you're not supposed 197 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: to be here at all under federal law, but you 198 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: start availing yourself off, as many of them do. By 199 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: the way, federal benefits in a whole range of ways. Anyway, 200 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: we're told that that's not a problem, that's not illegal, 201 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: But of course it is not supposed to be here 202 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: at all, not supposed to be You're not supposed to 203 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: be going into emergency rooms for first line medical care, 204 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: and you know, what's interesting is, just like so much 205 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: of what we saw with COVID, the people that say 206 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: this is a problem keep being proven right all along. 207 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: But those who are wrong about all of this, even 208 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: when they have to admit that what the other side 209 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: has been saying is true, they're nasty and vicious about it, 210 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: and they won't concede. Right. So, you know, the mayor 211 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: of New York, the mayor of Chicago, the mayor of 212 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: some of these cities, they're not saying, Wow, you know, 213 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: Republicans have a point. We need to lock down the 214 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: border's Republicans are sowing the seeds of division. Republicans are 215 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: so nasty, But I mean, stop sending all those illegals 216 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: to us. That's crazy. You're going to bankrupt this city. 217 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: They need way too much. They don't speak English, they 218 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: can't compete in the labor force like you know. Oh okay, 219 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: So the people who are right are still the bad guys, 220 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: even when we can all see that they're right. That's 221 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: exactly what's happening, and it's not going to get any 222 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: better this year. The only thing that you will see 223 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: is a is a Biden White House that is willing 224 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: to lie about its concern over the issue, and then 225 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: it will surge resources to the boarder. I've seen this 226 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: playbook many it's the Obama playbook, and is that not 227 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: surprising at all? The Obama playbook. You say you're going 228 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: to surge resources to the border, and then you really 229 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: just create a conveyor belt and have more and more 230 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: illegals coming into the country. You're just processing their entry faster. 231 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's as though we're at a 232 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, a stadium for a Taylor Swift concert day 233 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: and they're saying, oh, we understand, too many people are 234 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: coming into the concert. It's going to be unsafe. We 235 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: have to stop. And they said, don't worry, we're on it. 236 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: And then they send more people to collect tickets and 237 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: let more people in. Oh, we're sending resources. That's what 238 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: they're doing at the border. They're sending more people to 239 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: collect the tickets of the people coming into the country 240 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: who don't have a ticket and shouldn't be coming in. 241 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: But you know, welcome to reality. The problem is democrats 242 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: don't live in it. And so even if they theoretically 243 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: see this, because they're saying things that would make you 244 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: believe that they understand the challenges the problem here. Guess what, 245 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: They're not going to change their mind. It's like all 246 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: the people I know, all the all the blue check 247 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: lib on Twitter. Now everyone's got a blue check. But 248 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: back in the day, the ones who were like, why 249 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: do you want to kill grandma because of masking? Do 250 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: you know how many of them said to me, wow, buck, 251 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: I even had I'm not gonna name them. I had 252 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: people on the right early on saying, you don't believe 253 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: in masks? Really, I said, believe in them? No, that 254 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: this whole thing is absurd. Of course it doesn't do anything. 255 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: Of course it doesn't do anything, because I use my 256 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: own brain, I think. But none of them, no one 257 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: has come out and said, oh, you're right, you're right, 258 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: because people the wan who admit that it's too much 259 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: of an ego blow. Once you understand how much of 260 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: the world is upside down because of the narcissism of individuals, 261 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: then ever, then all of a sudden things really start 262 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: to make sense.

Oh man, 296 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: we got some big breaking news, and I guess I 297 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: should have seen this one coming, given that there was 298 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: even more plagiarism to add on to the pile for 299 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: a doctor Gay of Harvard. Multiple sources now including the 300 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: Harvard Crimson, which I guess would be very close to 301 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: the issue, reporting that doctor Gay of Harvard, the president 302 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: of Harvard University, is set to resign, looks like it's 303 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: actually happening, my friends. I will tell you I was skeptic. 304 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: I knew she wasn't going to resign because of the 305 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: anti semitism, because that they look at as well in 306 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: the Dei hierarchy. Are we more concerned about advancing the 307 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: first black female president of Harvard Oriberke more concerned about 308 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: combating anti Semitism? And I think that answer was pretty clear. 309 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: It was number one, not number two. But then you 310 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: add on to it all the plagiars. I mean, if 311 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: these counts of plagiarum sixty different places, I mean, she's 312 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: an academic who built a career on plagiarism. She didn't 313 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 1: understand this. It's not like she's been the luminous writer 314 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: of content over many decades, with many books and things. 315 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: You know, mistakes will happen here and there no question 316 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: about it. We all make mistakes. She didn't publish very much, 317 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: and what she did publish he kind of copy and 318 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: pasted from other people. She published almost nothing, nothing of significance, 319 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: and she was plagiarizing anyway. So it looks like she's 320 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: going to resign. I'm sure some of you have thoughts 321 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: on this one. Eight hund two a two two eight 322 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: a two On one of my brothers, he got this 323 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: one right, I got this one wrong. You know the 324 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: tunnel the Towers Foundation delivered this past holiday season on 325 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices 326 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: of America's greatest heroes. During their annual Season of Hope 327 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Foundation ordered families of fallen 328 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: first responders and soldiers with mortgage free homes. The families 329 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: of dozens of severely injured veterans, the First Responders gold 330 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: Star on Fallen first Responder families all benefited. One hero 331 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: who received a home during the Foundation's Season of Hope 332 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: was Captain James Howard. Captain Howard served for years, mostly 333 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: the eighty second Airborne Division and training for special Forces, 334 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: but he sustained serious injuries. Today, he is a C 335 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: five quadriplegic who lost his handed leg functions and is 336 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: paralyzed in the chest Town Tunnel. To Towers gave Captain 337 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: James Howard and his family a fully adapted, mortgage free 338 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: smart home. Help and honor America's heroes this new year. 339 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: Join me in Clay in donating monthly. Go to t 340 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: twot dot org. That's t the number two T dot org. 341 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 3: Lies of Truth. 342 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: She's out. She is resigning the president of Harvard University. Doctor. 343 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: I wonder if they're going to pull her doctorate as well. 344 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that some of the plagiarism is in her 345 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: dissertation sixty Council plagiarism alleged roughly sixty fifty five or 346 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: something like that. But anyway, she's out at Harvard, and 347 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: it turns out that to be DEI royalty makes you 348 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: almost invincible professionally. Emphasis on the almost, there are limits. 349 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: This is very interesting. They held on, as I've said, 350 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: the testimony about calling for the genocide of Jews and 351 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: how that would be treated on a Harvard campus. That 352 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: was bad, But she would doctor Gay, it was Miss 353 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: Gay would have been able to stay in her job 354 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: with that. I think, I honestly and truly believe that 355 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: that would not have changed anything. But or it wouldn't 356 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: have changed that she would stay as president. They would 357 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: she would have said I'm sorry or something. But now 358 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: with all the plagiarism pile the top of that, she 359 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: is out. I have here the Harvard Office of the 360 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: President resignation letter, and I just before I read some 361 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: of the key components of this, and I want a 362 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: hat tip Christopher Rufo. As always, he's on it, and 363 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: he was the one who I first saw raising the 364 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: issue of the of the plagiarism in the first place. 365 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: Rufo got a lot of attention on that, So a 366 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: tip of the hat to him here. And he's also 367 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: shared her resignation letter on his Twitter accounts. So I'm 368 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: reading the resignation letter and I'm just wondering before I 369 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: get to the text here, do you think that she 370 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: is going to be reflective and take responsibility in this? 371 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: Or do you think that she's going to play the victim. 372 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, what do you think? Everybody? Here we go, 373 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: dear members of the Harvard community, is with a heavy 374 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write 375 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: to share that I will be stepping down as president. 376 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: I didn't come to this decision easily, et cetera, et cetera, 377 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: et cetera. Let me see where we go? 378 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 3: Where do we go? 379 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: Here is a singular honor. It's been great, deep sense 380 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: of connection, et cetera, et cetera. Here we go. Quote. 381 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have 382 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to 383 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: up holding scholarly rigor two bedrock bedrock values that are 384 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: fundamental to who I am and frightening to be subjected 385 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animis. She's 386 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: getting fired because of racism. Everybody, you see it. That's 387 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: that's what we're being told. It's the stuff that's coming 388 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: her way. This is quote fueled by racial anim threats, 389 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: even fueled by racial animal She says, it's it's remarkable, 390 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: isn't it. It's remarkable. This is where we But of course, 391 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: this is her position that she's a great scholar of 392 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: the utmost integrity, and basically she did nothing wrong. There 393 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: was a bunch of racists that are saying horrible stuff 394 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: to her. So, you know, for the for the benefit 395 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: of the Harvard community, she doesn't want to have a distraction, 396 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, blah blah, et cetera, et cetera. She's stepping down. 397 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: That's that's what this is. I mean, it's it's unsurprising, 398 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: but I think you can see that this is, you know, unsurprising. 399 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: But this is where we are. The rest of it 400 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: is all just, you know, what you would expect. I 401 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: thought that part of it was frightening to be subjected 402 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: to personal attacks. Remember, she's somebody who wanted a honestly 403 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: a really exceptional scholar who is a black man at Harvard, 404 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: but a scholar who's done very interesting work. Professor Frye 405 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: wanted him to be fired because not because of what 406 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: he you know, he's sexually he made sexually inappropriate comments, 407 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: whatever that was and what. But when she was a 408 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: dean at Harvard, she wanted him gone because he was 409 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: the one who produced, based on using data, number crunching 410 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: and an economics approach, produced the data that a for 411 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: the same conduct, a white man is more likely to 412 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: be shot by police than a black man for the 413 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: same conduct in a lethal force situation. Now, whether someone 414 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: agrees or disagrees with that, and I think we'd all 415 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: understand why that might be the case, right, Because if 416 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: you shoot a white guy in this country who is 417 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: acting in the way that's threatening to the police or others, 418 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: and it's a lethal force situation, no one's going to 419 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: think it's racist. So all you have to do is 420 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: articulate the situation. But as we know, because of BLM 421 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: and the Democrats and the left and soorros prosecutors and 422 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: all the rest of it, if you shoot a black 423 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: man in this country, the optics of the situation immediately 424 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: require thee Well, hold on, hold on, this wasn't racist. 425 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: Here's why. So does it make any you know, from 426 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: the police perspective, does it make any anyone surprise to 427 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: find out what the professor at Harvard did, which is 428 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: that under the same circumstances, he also said that the 429 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: police are more likely to be aggressive with black males 430 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: than white males under similar circumstances. So you know, there's 431 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: something there. He wasn't just it wasn't all on one side. 432 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: I mean, he's saying, hold on a second, the cops 433 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: will get a little you know, they'll be a little 434 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: a little more. Try to think of the right word. 435 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: Aggressive was the word I use. But you know, well 436 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: he's a little snappier, a little uh, you know, a 437 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: little more rude. There we go, a little more rude 438 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: interacting with a black male than a white male in 439 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: a law enforcement to civilian encounter. But the thing about 440 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: the shootings, not that was a sacrilege to the left 441 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: because it all the BLM stuff and you know, Mike 442 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: Brown and Ferguson and uh, George Floyd and all this 443 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: stuff you're not allowed to say in force. George Floyd 444 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: wasn't even a shooting incident, but you know what I mean. 445 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: And so she wanted to ruin that man's life for 446 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: telling the truth because she's a political hack. And she 447 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: got her job because she's a political hack. And now 448 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: what you see is the first time somebody who has 449 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: been elevated to these heights in academia. And really, I mean, 450 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: Harvard has a fifty five billion dollar in down. I mean, 451 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: to be the president of Harvard is to sit atop 452 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: a massive institution in terms of wealth, cultural relevance, power, influence. 453 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's a big deal. It's a 454 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: big deal. People have been like the former Treasury Secretary 455 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: Larry Summers. You can go from Treasury Secretary of the 456 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: United States to Harvard president, and you know, it's like 457 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: almost a lateral move, right, it's a big deal. It's 458 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: not really a lateral move, but it's close. I mean, 459 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: that's you can't be Treasury secretary forever. So that's the 460 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: kind of job you get once you've been Treasury secretary. Right, 461 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: That's what I mean. And honestly, I'd probably rather I'd 462 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: rather be president of Harvard paid like two million dollars 463 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: a year, million in five a year have a mansion 464 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: that you don't have to pay for and just go 465 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: to cocktail parties and have other people write the occasional speech. 466 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: I mean, it is man as one of the best gigs, honestly, 467 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: one of the best gigs on the planet. He's the 468 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: president of one of these, you know, major elite universities 469 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: with a massive endowment. But the downside is you got 470 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: to play the politics. You got to play the politics, 471 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: and you better be a true believer in DEI and 472 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: the cultural Marxism and all these things that you see 473 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: that have infiltrated and really now it's not just infiltration, 474 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: it's domination. They originally infiltrated these campuses, this ideology, and 475 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: now this ideology of the left, this cultural Marxism, this 476 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, deconstructionism, and I mean there's a lot of 477 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: ways we could continue to describe it moral relativism. That's 478 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: really at the core of all of this. It went 479 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: from infiltration to domination the university system. Now, will there 480 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: be others who see or as a result of this, 481 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: everone sees what's going on, Will there be others who 482 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: either change their behavior or are at least aware now 483 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: that if the president, if the first black female president 484 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: of Harvard University can be fired. It means that anybody 485 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: else who's the president of any university anywhere, under circumstances 486 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: like what we've seen, could be fired, no matter how 487 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: left wing you are, no matter how devoted to the cause, 488 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: And so that sense of invincibility I think maybe has 489 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: been that has been pierced. I think there has been 490 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of a change here that there are 491 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: some people in our society who are elevated to extremely 492 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: elite and elitist positions and will not be held accountable 493 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: for conduct really under any circumstances. That maybe now is 494 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: that this could be the beginning of a change in 495 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: perception around that issue. And that's what I think is 496 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: is uh, perhaps the longer term takeaway from all this. 497 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought she'd be able to hang on. 498 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: Although to be fair, to be fair to my prediction here, 499 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know they were going to keep I thought 500 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: they had found all the plagiarism, you know what I mean. 501 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: It's if they had found all the plagiarism before Christmas. 502 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: I think the Christmas holiday happens, she comes back. There 503 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: is more plagiarism that came out after the holiday. I mean, 504 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: at some point, I think what they're they're recognized is 505 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: that this is they can't defend this, and that really 506 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: they elevated a a career plagiarist to the president of 507 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: the most you know, storied university on the planet, and 508 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: that is new thing. It couldn't without massive damage to 509 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: Harvard's brand. And they just couldn't keep this going. And 510 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: what is Harvard. It's a brand that is the value. Really, 511 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: you can get an amazing education, and I truly mean that, 512 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: you get an amazing education at you know, any decent 513 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: state school in this country right now, and you could 514 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: even get an amazing education with the right resources on 515 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: the internet at home, you know, more than ever before. Harvard, though, 516 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: is perception. It's the doors that open, It's the belonging 517 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: to a club. It's the the stamp of intellectual excellence, 518 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: quote unquote, and the you know, approval and approbation of 519 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: your peers that comes with it. That's what it represents. 520 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: And so the one thing, and this is always true, 521 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: This is true in tyrannies, It's true even in the 522 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: most you know maoist dei enclaves out there. The one 523 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: thing that cannot abide is mockery that hits home. They 524 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: can't become a laughing stock, and Harvard knows this. You 525 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: can't have a person who's basically plagiarized everything she's ever 526 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: written and never written anything of substance anyway, running your 527 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: university and be firing people and expelling students for plagiarism. Yeah, 528 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: there are some limits. They actually found the outer limit 529 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: of DEI invincibility, and I think that there could be 530 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: real ramifications here. I think this could really change over time. 531 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen rapidly, but this could change 532 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: the way some of these institutions think going forward, and 533 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: some of their disciplinary processes as well going forward too. 534 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: I want to hear from you on this. What do 535 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: you think you surprised Harvard president just resigned? Just resign, 536 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: breaking news this hour.

So with a big bombshell breaking 556 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: news from the last hours. The president of Harvard, claud 557 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: Dean Gay, is resigning. I think it's, you know, not 558 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: that you could ever really give it a value or 559 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: a percentage to this, but I think it's, you know, 560 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: at least fifty to fifty the plagiarism and then her 561 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: comments on anti Semitism on campus. But I would even 562 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: lean a little more toward the plagiarism. Maybe he's sixty 563 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: and her comments are forty or or you know, something 564 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: along those lines. I think that the the serial plagiarism 565 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: in a way that really shows a total disregard for 566 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: As I've said, you know, there's there's gray zone plagiarism. 567 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: There's okay, I left off a citation, but I've ecited 568 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: everything else, and it's you know, a line here or 569 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: a line there. People are gonna say, oh, no, plagiarism 570 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: is acceptible. Yeah, okay, I mean no, breaking up the 571 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: law is acceptable. But people jaywalk like things happen. But 572 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, she's like the like the Pablo Escobar of plagiarism. 573 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: So you know, I mean it was like plagiarism at 574 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: a very high level. And I think that people recognize 575 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 1: that it's just too much that this was the way 576 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: that she was doing things. And it's, like I said, 577 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: it comes down to Harvard is fine with being duplicitous. 578 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: It's fine with having double standards. It's fine. It's not 579 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,959 Speaker 1: fine with being laughed at, though, and this crossed over 580 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: into making a mockery of the school. I know, a 581 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: bunch of you want to weigh in, Mike in Alabama. 582 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 4: What have you got for us, Mike A buck I 583 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 4: was just wondering, do you think Joe Biden will get 584 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 4: any questions about this and his plagiarism and his thoughts 585 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 4: and will he ever resigned? 586 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's interest, it's interesting. I mean, the 587 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: answer your question Mike is no, absolutely not. But but 588 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: I'll go a little deeper than just the no. And 589 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: here here's why. And we all recall that Biden was 590 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: accused of plagiarizing a I believe a British member of 591 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: parliament Kinnock. Am I right? Is it Neil Kinnock? Guys 592 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: check that name for me. Wow, I just nailed that 593 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,959 Speaker 1: off the bat. The Buckster has not missed a beat. 594 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: He may have gained ten pounds over Christmas, but the 595 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 1: is still functioning that that he plagiarized Neil Kinnock's speech, 596 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: and then remember that was the first of three times 597 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: that he ran for president. The thing about politicians, though, 598 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: is that they have people writing their speeches all that. 599 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean, no politician really writes their own speeches, or 600 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: at least you know, it's always a group effort and 601 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: usually they're just handed it in the end and they 602 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: maybe make some red lines comments on it or something. 603 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: So no, no one's going to make any big deal 604 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: about Biden. But I do think it's interesting, you know, 605 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: I want to talk about gray zone stuff. I think 606 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: that when there's an unacknowledged, for example, unacknowledged writing of 607 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: people's op eds, where you just say, you know, so 608 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: and so wrote this op ed and you go, well, no, 609 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: someone else actually wrote it. They're just putting their name 610 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: on it, and you say, well, don't they have to 611 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: at least acknowledge that there was some you know, in 612 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: a book there were acknowledgments for this reason. I had, 613 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: you know, I had editors helping me, or I had 614 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: this person collaborated with me on this or whatever. You know, 615 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: a lot of times people just say, no, I wrote this, 616 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: you know this New York Times off ed, I wrote it, 617 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, but they didn't write it. So 618 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: I think I think these rules are and I'm gonna 619 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: tell you I'm out there by myself on this. Everyone 620 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: disa not everyone, but most people disagree with me. They 621 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: just sort of agree with the rules as they're but 622 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 1: the rules don't really make much sense. Like I couldn't 623 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: they say, oh, well, you could pay someone to ghost 624 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: write a book for you. I'm choosing to write my 625 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: own book, right, but I could pay someone to ghost 626 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: write a book for him, Like, but I couldn't pay 627 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: them to write my PhD thesis? Why is that? Why 628 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: is that? You know? Anyway? Let that think about. Don't 629 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: let people just shout at you. Those are the rules. 630 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: Think about that for a second, and you know, let that. 631 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: Let that bounce around a bit. I'm gonna come back 632 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: in here with uh some of the latest from Trump 633 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: World Iowa. A big mar a Lago party for Trump 634 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: happened on New Year's Eve. I don't know. You have 635 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: to let me know. Am I supposed to weigh in 636 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: on this calendar gate thing that happened. I didn't really 637 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: pay much attention to it over the holiday, but there's 638 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 1: a calendar with attractive conservative ladies on it, and people 639 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: were fighting about this. Send a VIP email or call 640 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: in of this. I haven't even seen the calendar. I'm 641 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: telling you the truth. Clay would be making fun of 642 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 1: me right now. I haven't actually even seen this calendar, 643 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: but I just know that that was a big thing. 644 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: People were arguing about and I was like, I was 645 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: spending time with my family over Christmas. But we can 646 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: dive into it. Stick around 647 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 3: Clay, Travis, and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
