We'll go David in Pennsylvania, and then Brian 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: in New Mexico, and then Brian in Connecticut. David in Pennsylvania, 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: I'm told, wants to make the argument for DeSantis over Trump. 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: And since I laid out the case yesterday for Trump 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: winning the nomination in pretty short order, why don't we 14 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: have a contrary opinion? David in Pennsylvania, Europe, Sir, well, 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: it's not necessarily that. 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 3: First, I want to say that I do agree as 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 3: an African American that grew up in Maryland, Baltimore, it 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 3: is culturally the expectation that you are a Democrat and 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: you have to do the culture correct thing. So are 20 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: hite African Americans black? 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 2: Okay? Black? 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, go ahead, okay, yeah, okay. So so, 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 3: but I want to talk about Trump. Uh not that 24 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 3: I mean, I voted for Trump and I like Trump, 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 3: But what I don't understand is how everybody's giving Trump 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: a pass on the fact that he was in when 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 3: COVID struck and he let Folchi run wild, and uh so, 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: I'm not understanding why everybody has the expectation that he's 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 3: going to do a whole bunch of things when we 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: saw in the heat of COVID, de Santis was turning 31 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: the world of Florida upside down, and so every everybody 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: seems to, you know, give Trump this idea this past 33 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 3: that he's going to change things, which I know he 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: will do, but he he I feel like he was 35 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: at ground zero of the opportunity to really stifle all 36 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: this COVID stuff and and all this lgt BT applebat stuff, 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: all this stuff early on. So I'm not to say that, 38 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: you know, I don't think I don't think Trump is 39 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: going to lose. I think he is a front runner, 40 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: and obviously we'll all get behind him. But I'm just 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: saying I feel like the fans should have a little 42 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 3: bit more credit for his track record. 43 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: I don't know how you give credit in a system 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: where it's winner take all, so you know you can. 45 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: I said yesterday, I think he's the best governor in 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: the country and I'd like him to stay there. And 47 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: I think he's very popular, and I think he is 48 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: a man of action. He's taken on some pretty big bullies, 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: and he's taken on some pretty entrenched entrance interests, and 50 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: he's shown an ability to lead in a way that 51 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: makes a case that the public falls in behind. And 52 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: that's a lost art, that that is something that is 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: that is often forgotten. You can you can send out 54 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: press says of all the great things you're going to do. 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: The question is can you get it done? And to 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: his credit, I'm not a big George W. Bush fan 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 2: as president, but he was a pretty good governor in Texas. 58 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: In fact, a damn good governor. And he had a 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: guy named Pete Laney who was the Speaker of the 60 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: House because we still had a majority house in the 61 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: State House of Representatives back then. But he was a 62 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: conservative Democrat and George W. Bush went to him when 63 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: Bush got elected in ninety four and he said, look, 64 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: let's get some things done. Let's get some education reform done, 65 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: Let's get tortue reform done, and they did, from George W. 66 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: Bush to his successor, Rick Perry. There were there was 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: a group called Texans for Lawsuit Reform, and there were 68 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: a lot of us very supportive of their efforts, which 69 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: led to laws that limited the exposure of medical malpractice 70 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: suits against doctors and limited the exposure of slip and 71 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: fall nonsense which was out of control at stores. And 72 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: what we saw was that our economy flourished. Doctors were 73 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: moving to Texas, doctors that were retiring were staying on, 74 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: the small businesses were being created. I think DeSantis is 75 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: that kind of governor in Florida, and I think he'll 76 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: continue to be that kind of governor. And I think 77 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: he will start twenty twenty eight as the front runner. 78 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 2: I just don't see him getting there. Look we're nineteen 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: days from the Iowa caucus and he staked his claim 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: on Iowa. I don't think he's going to do that 81 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: well there. If he does, I'm wrong. Hey, I'm okay 82 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: with that. I don't think he's going to do well 83 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. I think Nikki Hayley does a little better. 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: But I also think you have to realize that people, 85 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: the media loves to talk about New Hampshire because New 86 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: Hampshire is a state that doesn't vote Republican. I think 87 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: the last Republican they voted for was George W. Bush 88 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: in two thousand. New Hampshire is a Democrat state. They 89 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: talk about liberty and you've got libertarians there. But even 90 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: a New Hampshire Republican is more a mitt Romney Republican. 91 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: It's a country club Republican. They all work in Boston. 92 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: They live out in New Hampshire, in this beautiful in 93 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: this beautiful communities. They don't want to live in Massachusetts. 94 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: So I don't think you can say that New Hampshire 95 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 2: is representative of the Republican base. And what will really 96 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: matter is when you go to South Carolina, and I 97 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: think that Trump wins big there and then Super Tuesday, 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 2: as I mentioned yesterday, we got almost nine hundred delegates 99 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: up for grabs, and I think Trump runs the table there. 100 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: I don't think he gets one hundred percent of them, 101 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: but I think he gets sixty seventy percent their winner 102 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: take all. So if he's up and he wins, I 103 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: think he wins New Hampshire over Nicky Haley, which is 104 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: saying something because Nicki Haley is much more a New 105 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: Hampshire primary winner type candidate than Donald Trump is. She 106 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: is much more of the establishment. She's much more prim 107 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: and proper and you know, lots of wars and lots 108 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: of talking about doing things properly and never winning on 109 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 2: the cultural issues in New Hampshire. It doesn't work in 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: the South. Brian, thanks for calling. David Brian in New Mexico, Europe. 111 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: Sir, Hey, good morning Mike. Uh. Politically I'm an Independent, 112 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: and I'd like to drill down more on the immigration issue. 113 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 4: I worked most of my life in construction in the 114 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 4: Chicago land market, so I've dealt with this issue firsthand 115 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 4: for decades. And uh, I'd like to point out that 116 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: a good way to think about illegal immigration is to 117 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 4: think of it as a deregulated labor market, which, of 118 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: course that's what the business community loves that because it 119 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 4: serves to hold down and drive down the value of 120 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 4: human labor, especially at the entry level and the more 121 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 4: rudimentary jobs. And you know, we think about it that 122 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 4: people that are hurt the most by illegal immigration are impoverished, 123 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 4: poor native born Americans of all races. Yes, it drives 124 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 4: off housing costs. We have a shortage of housing right now. 125 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: Nobody ever puts two and two together. You know, where 126 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: are all these millions of illegal is going to live? 127 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: Nobody talks about it. But I would also like to 128 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 4: focus on the people that benefit the most from illegal immigrants. 129 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 4: Besides the immigrant is America's wealthy and the investor class 130 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 4: because they get a pool of workers at a lower cost. 131 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 4: The businesses make more money because their labor costs are lower. 132 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: And everybody thinks throughout in the fields picking you know, 133 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: crops all the time. As an electrician, I've seen many 134 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: businesses front to back, top to bottom in active you know, 135 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 4: performance and owners. They do your warehouses, your hospitals, your hotels, 136 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: your restaurants, your country clubs. Let's think about all the 137 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 4: wealthy men that have illegal immigrants working at their country 138 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: club right now. So and then another big part of 139 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 4: this issue is half the problem comes right through the airport. 140 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: But we never talked about visa overstay. Has any politicians 141 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 4: ever said we're going to start enforcing our vi the laws. 142 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 5: Of course not. 143 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: So let's focus on the employers as well as the 144 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: people that are breaking the law, which most employers are 145 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 4: that hire them, and they're probably breaking tax laws at 146 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 4: the same time and other banking laws. So let's focus 147 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 4: on that besides the poor desperate people sneaking into the country. 148 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: So that's my issue, right right, But you have to 149 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: stop the poor desperate people sneaking into the country immediately. 150 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: It's it's not one or the other, and it doesn't 151 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: have to be every. 152 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 4: You turn off the magnet. 153 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: Brian, let me say this. I think you're right, there 154 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: is a magnet, and I think that all the benefits 155 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: and that there will be work, I think all of 156 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: that is true. But there are also people who come 157 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: who are traffickers. There are people who come who don't 158 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: enter the traditional workforce, who don't even get paid in 159 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 2: the traditional way because they're sex traffickers or drug traffickers. 160 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: Or they come here and they don't work at all, 161 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: or they come here and they go through our public schools, 162 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: or they come here and they get on welfare. All 163 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: of those things are also true. So it's a much 164 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: bigger problem than a simple answer. And the idea that 165 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: it's complicated allows our government to say it's very complicated, 166 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: so we can't do anything about it, and that is ridiculous. 167 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: That is absurd. We've done far more than that. If 168 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: you've seen the movie Oppenheimer, it's pretty inspiring to think 169 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: what a few people did with a very complicated scientific question, 170 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 2: in competition with the Germans and eventually the Russians, to 171 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: do something that would end the war and save a 172 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 2: lot of American lives and a lot of Japanese lives. 173 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: Although my position is we were at war with the Japanese, 174 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: my concern was not how many Japanese died. I only 175 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 2: am concerned and would be concerned today with how many 176 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: American service members lives were saved. And again, the fact 177 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: that we even have to debate that sort of thing 178 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: today tells you a lot about what we've allowed to 179 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: occur with a lack of any culture, nationalism pride in America. 180 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: The reason America first resonates is because there are so 181 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 2: many people in our academic institutions, in our media, in 182 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: politics who seem to say, and in some cases do say, 183 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: that the rest of the world is just as important, 184 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: that people from other countries are just as important, that 185 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: those people deserve our treasury, that those people deserve what 186 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: we have, that tho we'll fight those people's wars and 187 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: I think that Americans rightfully feel wronged by this. The 188 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: people who served in our wars on behalf of this country, 189 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 2: particularly Vietnam veterans, but Iraq, Afghanistan watching us send all 190 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: this money to Ukraine and Biden's desperate desire to send 191 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: our boys there. I think there are a lot of 192 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: Americans that are hot and mad as hell, to quote 193 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 2: the Howard Bill un and they're not going to take 194 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: it any longer. And to the extent that Trump or 195 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: anyone else can channel that anger into a productive set 196 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: of policies and governmental reforms, it'll be bigger than elections. 197 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm praying for. I'm Michael Berry and 198 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: for Clay and Buck. Brian in Connecticut will get to 199 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 2: you in just a moment. 200 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: More coming up, helping you separate truth from fiction every 201 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: single weekday Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton show. 202 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: Michael Berry in for Clay and Buck all week and 203 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: you can reach me at Michael berryshow dot com.

Let's go to Brian in Connecticut. 206 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 2: Brian Europe, Sir, go. 207 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 6: Ahead, Hey, Michael, great show. First time I've heard you 208 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,239 Speaker 6: sort of a metro New York guy, so very very informative. 209 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 6: I'm not as smart as Brian from New Mexico. But 210 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 6: so the reason I call is the just aproposy or 211 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 6: previous comparative comparison about rural crime versus city crime. I 212 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 6: live in a lower Fairfield County in Greenwich, and I 213 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 6: was just reading the news yesterday about a fellow who 214 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 6: was shopping at our local CVS at four point fifteen 215 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 6: pm on Christmas Day and he was assaulted and threatened 216 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 6: to give his car keys up for his car. He 217 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 6: refused and sort of went at it, apparently according to 218 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 6: the reports, when a third partner in crime said he 219 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 6: had a weapon and he was going to you know, 220 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 6: he was going to use it unless he turned over 221 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 6: the keys. So the fellaw who was in his late 222 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 6: thirties according to the news, turned his keys over and 223 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 6: they took off in his car. Now, this is on 224 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 6: Post Road in Greenwich, Connecticut with cars going. Obviously he's 225 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 6: probably a little less popular than with Christmas Day, but 226 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 6: it's sort of a parable to comparative to rural versus 227 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 6: city where we're really suburban and it's happening more and 228 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 6: more Michael as well. And you know, a bunch of 229 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 6: us guys are chatting about this, and you know, our 230 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 6: kids go to school there. They drive, My two girls 231 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 6: drive in the area. 232 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 5: They go to the you know CVS all the time. 233 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 5: I was there the day before and in the parking 234 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 5: lot right next to the local CBS is this gigantic 235 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 5: parking lot for a local clothes store. And I'm in 236 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 5: there buying a couple of gifts and I go back 237 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 5: out to my car and all of a sudden, this 238 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 5: guy starts doing donuts one hundred miles an hour donuts. 239 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: And that's a big deal the arts for me, Ran, 240 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: let me let me answer some of that, because I 241 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: think this is important. Yeah, this is the legacy of 242 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: the George Floyd incident. And I would encourage people. There 243 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: is a wonderful documentary called The Fall of Minneapolis. Just 244 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 2: go into your search engine and look around. You can 245 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: watch it. I think it's free. It's called The Fall 246 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: of Minneapolis. And the woman who did it, I forget 247 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: her name, but she does it in an interview forman 248 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: And what's amazing about this is she reveals things that 249 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: are not just opinions. She reveals body cam footage of 250 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: multiple angles of what happened that day, and a lot 251 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: of things that were kept from the jury. And you 252 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: see things like you see documents like the medical examiner 253 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: saying cases like this ruined careers. Well, not if you 254 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 2: do the right thing. But he wasn't doing the right thing. 255 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: There is a man who is in prison. There's four 256 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: of them who are in prison who should not be 257 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: in prison. And Chauvain, the guy who's the longest term, 258 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: should not be in prison. You want to talk about 259 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: criminal justice reform, here is your criminal justice reform laid 260 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: bare the idea that this police officer was doing his job. 261 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: The prosecutors knew it, the awful governor knew it, the 262 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: medical leg everybody there knew what happened. George Floyd is 263 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: from Houston, and George Floyd has been a thug since 264 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: day one. He went to prison for putting a shotgun 265 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: into the pregnant belly of a woman whose house he 266 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: broke into, robbed her, blind went. The reason he was 267 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: in Minneapolis is because he was such a thug that 268 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: every cop knew him. He couldn't commit his crimes because 269 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: they'd pull up us. George Floyd again. I guess we'll 270 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: have to send him back to prison. So he goes 271 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: to Minneapolis, where this career thug criminal, the worst kind 272 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: of person, the absolute lowest type of human being, a 273 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: guy that is like a rabbit dog, just crime to 274 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: crime to crime to crime. And this guy is presenting 275 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: counterfeit bills. This guy is taking all sorts of drugs. 276 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: He just had an overdose a short time before that. 277 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: He starts saying, don't shoot me. I've been shot before. 278 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: He hasn't, which is exactly what he had done in 279 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: a previous arrest. My mama just died. His mom died 280 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: years before. And then you can see it in the 281 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: footage that he's got drugs in his mouth and he's 282 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: got four times the legal limit or the legal threshold 283 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: lethal threshold of fentanyl in the system, and plenty more. 284 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: And yet out of all that, we've defunded the cops 285 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: and handcuffed them. I'm Michael Berry filling in for Clay 286 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: and Buck. I'll be here all week more coming up. 287 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: Fleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth. 288 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: Oh yes, that little band from Texas, he's the top. 289 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: Thank you, Crash. I appreciate that actually they're from Houston. 290 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: Before we get back to the calls, when I say 291 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: that crime is the number one issue in this country, 292 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: I consider that to be the boy order. Well. I 293 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 2: considered a number of things, but the idea that rules 294 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: don't matter, that laws don't matter, they're not being enforced. 295 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 2: And when people see that Joe Biden is breaking the 296 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: law and using his stupid drug addicted son as the 297 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: straw man. You know, if only Bo had lived, Bow 298 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 2: would have been a much better straw man. He would 299 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: have been much less obvious. He wouldn't have left multiple 300 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: laptops all over, he wouldn't have been hiring hookers and 301 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 2: filming himself. The guy has I don't know of anybody 302 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: who films themselves more than this guy. There's more footage 303 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 2: of this guy naked than Johnny Holmes. It's the craziest 304 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 2: thing ever, and yet he leaves it everywhere. I mean, 305 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: there's there is one theory, and it's not a crazy 306 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 2: one that he wants people to see this stuff because 307 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 2: he wants to bring his dad down, because he's angry. 308 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: This is his sort of I don't know if it's 309 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 2: his Oedipus comp I don't know what The complex is 310 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: he's got a daddy complex. We know that there's all 311 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: these messages that he's upset over having to give so 312 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: much money to his daddy. He texts messages to his 313 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: kids that I'll never do to you what daddy's done 314 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: to me and take all my money. Well, I mean, 315 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: it's weird, but I have to take Joe Biden's side 316 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 2: because your goofy self wouldn't make a penny without your 317 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: dad being the then vice president and then president. Your 318 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: art wouldn't be sold Barisma, wouldn't have you in Ukraine 319 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 2: serving on an energy board good grief. You wouldn't be 320 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: paid by Russians, Ukrainians, Chinese and all sorts of other 321 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: people because you have no expertise, no value to offer. 322 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: You're just a front for access to your dad. So 323 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 2: it's really paying your dad and you get to keep 324 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: a percentage for yourself. That's part of the crime. But 325 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 2: what I think really shops people who really gets me, 326 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: and this is causing people to flee from the urban 327 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 2: core of the cities. Across the once great cities are 328 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 2: watching their residents flee, and the people that are fleeing 329 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 2: are not the poor inner city residents. The people that 330 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 2: are fleeing are the people who can afford to flee, 331 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: and those are the people who are moving to the 332 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: suburbs and the rural communities. And you're seeing it all 333 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: across the country. As Portland, one of my favorite cities 334 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 2: in America, became more and more nuts, people said, you know, 335 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: I'll drive in to go to Powell's bookstore, but I 336 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 2: don't need to live a walk away. I don't need 337 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: to live near the coffee shops and the great beer joints. 338 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: I just don't want to live that way anymore. So 339 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: they moved out. And you're seeing this in Seattle where 340 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: the downtown core, remember the zone, they had their own 341 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 2: zone there. You're seeing it in San San Francisco. San 342 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: Francisco was a great American city. You're seeing it in 343 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 2: New Orleans. I mean, as distinctive an American city as 344 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: you can possibly get. And why why is it happening? Well, 345 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: LaToya Cantrell, LaToya the Destroyer, a woman who talks about 346 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: race at every turn. She's a black woman. She's been 347 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 2: accused of most everything you can possibly imagine, needing to 348 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: be treated like this queen traveling with her paramour as 349 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 2: her security and this arrogant idea that you know, she 350 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: must be treated as if and you see that. You 351 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: saw this with the mayor of San Francisco. You saw 352 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: it with the mayor of Baltimore that had people buying 353 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: her book that nobody read. They never even opened them. 354 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: And so our cities are dying. They're absolutely dying. And 355 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: the problem is once people flee these cities, they're not 356 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 2: coming back because the reason people came into the city 357 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: is that's where your culture was. That's where your libraries 358 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 2: were when people still went to the library because there 359 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: weren't homeless people there pleasuring themselves or surfing the internet, 360 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 2: surfing porn or doing both. That's where people went because 361 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 2: that's where your sports arenas were. Well that's no longer true. 362 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 2: Look at what they did in Detroit where they moved 363 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: the Palace. They don't want to be in downtown Detroit anymore, 364 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 2: and so you're seeing more as you see these sports 365 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: stadiums move out. It's because you have to attract the 366 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: suburbanites into the games, and they don't want to go 367 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 2: into the downtown areas. The city Hall was in downtown, 368 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: but who wants to be in the city Hall anymore. 369 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: Nobody lives in the municipality. So what you're left with 370 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 2: is an increasingly poor electorate in your large cities. And 371 00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: we've learned that very poor people tend to tolerate race baiting, 372 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 2: terrible self dealing politicians. In fact, the city of Houston 373 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 2: bucked the trend. We have Sylvester Turner, who is part 374 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: of that trend, and then Sheila Jackson Lee, who I 375 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 2: bet almost every one of you recognized as there are 376 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: four hundred thirty five members of the House, five hundred 377 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: thirty five members of the Congress, the House and the 378 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: Senate together, and the only one that doesn't share a 379 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: committee or is a US Senator or not the speaker 380 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: that you know is Sheila Jackson Lee. Because she's a 381 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 2: complete and utter clown, and she got waxed. She was 382 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: absolutely soundly defeated because for the first time in a 383 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: long time, Republicans showed up. Republicans are in the minority 384 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 2: of the city of Houston, Republicans showed up and a 385 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: lot of people showed up to vote that don't normally 386 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 2: vote because they said, you know what, we're not letting 387 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 2: Houston become Detroit. We're not letting Houston become Chicago. We're 388 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: not going to have the continued bribe pay handing contracts 389 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: to your friends and don't We're not We're not gonna 390 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 2: have that. We're not gonna have crime run them up. 391 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: We're just we're not going to do that. But let 392 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: me tell you why you have these bad crime problems. 393 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 2: And I'll give you the example of Harris County. So 394 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: the city of Houston is in the county Harris County, 395 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 2: and it's run by a little ten paon Martinette puppet 396 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 2: named Lena Hidalgo and she was just placed there, but 397 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 2: she doesn't actually run it. It's run by a guy 398 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: named Rodney Ellis. Rodney Ellis is a very very smart, 399 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 2: very strategic black state senator for decades who then became 400 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 2: a county commissioner and he runs the county. He's he's 401 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 2: sort of the the dio SX Mockina behind the scenes. 402 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: He runs this whole deal. And what he did is 403 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: he settled a lawsuit that was brought against Harris County. 404 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 2: And the lawsuit was on the basis that well, if 405 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: you're pulled, and especially if you're poor and black and 406 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 2: you get arrested, then you're thrown in jail until your 407 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 2: case comes up. And this just wasn't right because all 408 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: these people, their only crime was that they were arrested, 409 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: and they're put in jail, but they can't afford bail. 410 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: So since they can't make the bond, they're stuck in jail. 411 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: But rich people can't, so they bring a lawsuit, or 412 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: a lawsuit happens to be brought by the county, whereupon 413 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: Rodney Ellis and Lena Hudalgo sign off. They got all 414 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: this outside philanthropist, left wing philanthropist money behind this case, 415 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 2: and they sign an agreement and say, you know, we're 416 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: really embarrassed, this is what they wanted to happen, but 417 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: we're going to sign on this agreement which basically made 418 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: it impossible to have any bond once you were arrested. 419 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 2: So the net effect of that is the cops catch 420 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: a guy who's stabbing somebody to death. He's got the 421 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: knife in his hand, he's got blood all over him. 422 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: They bring him down and book him, and this magistrate 423 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: judge who's not even a judge that anybody's name, this 424 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 2: is sort of a proxy judge, says, well, i'll give 425 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 2: you a bond, and you promised to come back in 426 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: six months for your trial. Okay, how much do you 427 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: have to pay because you pay ten percent of the bond, right, 428 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: except they do what are called PR bonds, which is 429 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: a personal recognizance bond, which means, do you pinky swear 430 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 2: you'll come back in six months so we can prosecute you. 431 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: Oh yes, Well, if I trust anybody, it's you, mister. 432 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 2: You have blood all over you that hasn't dried yet 433 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: stabbing a man to death. So if you say you'll 434 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: come back, well, what do you think that guy's doing 435 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: Within an hour of being out, he's stabbing more people, 436 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 2: or raping more people, or killing more people, or trafficking 437 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: more people, or selling more fentanyl, or shooting up neighborhoods, 438 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 2: or recruiting more gang members. Well, it doesn't take long 439 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: until the crime rate just spirals, because even when the 440 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 2: cops catch the bad guys, they put them back out 441 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 2: on the streets. The people who's a big criminal justice 442 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: reform nut is a guy named Alec karakasnosis it's a 443 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: Greek name. The group is called Civil Rights Corp. And 444 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: his Twitter feed is filled with you'll never believe this 445 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: pro Palestinian retweets why is a guy with a Greek 446 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: name so in favor of the Palestinians Because you find 447 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: that all the criminal justice reformed people are the same 448 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 2: people protesting against Israel on behalf of the Palestinians. They 449 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 2: just grab all the any cause they can grab. They 450 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 2: do any cause where they can create mayhem and chaos 451 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 2: and disorder they do. They really just like to blow 452 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 2: stuff up and block the streets, spray paint things, cuss people, 453 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 2: threaten people online. That's what they do. He calls the 454 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: funding of law enforcement copaganda. That's his own little cute 455 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 2: little term. Alex Soros, George Soros's son, has committed fifty 456 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: million dollars to open Society Foundation organizations over the next 457 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: couple of years, which is real money to make us 458 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 2: less safe and our elections less secure, and I'm not 459 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: seeing anybody doing anything about it.

Currently, numerous law enforcement other agencies currently on 469 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: the scene in riot gear issuing a tactical alert after 470 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: pro Palestine protesters armed with rocks, cones, and construction equipment 471 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: blocked the entrance to Lax Airport, causing major traffic congestion 472 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. Police have arrested at least over a 473 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 2: dozen protesters who will be charged with riot related offenses. 474 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: Officers have advised that the group is running around vandalizing 475 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 2: different objects and throwing items at law enforcement. It's not 476 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: just dogs. People operate on incentives and disincentives. What is 477 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: the disincentive to act in this manner for these people? 478 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: Every time you throw a rock at a police officer, 479 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: you run the rest that you kill her it happens. 480 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: You run the risk that you blind her, You run 481 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: the risk that you can cuss her, that you create 482 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 2: serious neurological damage, that you alter her life. But if 483 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: there are no consequences to you, then why wouldn't you 484 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: just do it? Because you're not evil, but the person 485 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: who does this is. So what's the response? What would 486 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 2: be the law of the land in your ideal society 487 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: if a person throws a rock at a cop with 488 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: a clear intention to cause them harm, respond with sufficient 489 00:29:54,560 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 2: force to stop the attack. Why don't we? This is 490 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 2: the George Floyd legacy. This is why that lie was 491 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 2: so important. The lie was that George Floyd was murdered. 492 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: He wasn't. The lie was that George Floyd would not 493 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: have died but for the officer's presence. That's not true. 494 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,959 Speaker 2: Look at his toxicology report. Why wasn't that released in 495 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: short order when it came due? And out of that 496 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: what happened? The defunding of police departments across the country, 497 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: the increased aggression of groups loosely affiliated thugs, goons of 498 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: all races, all backgrounds, across the country. This has become commonplace, 499 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: This has become normal. This sort of behavior is expected. 500 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: So you've got it on. Within the last hour and 501 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 2: a half, we've seen real time reports that it's happening 502 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 2: at JFK Airport, and it's happening at lax on the 503 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: West Coast, and probably happening at other places in between. 504 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: What would these people have to do for a response 505 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 2: that stops the threat Because they're enjoying this. These people 506 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: feel this is a great experience for them. They are 507 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 2: so alive. They're shutting down all the traffic. They're in control. 508 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: These are people who don't have any responsibility, and people 509 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 2: need responsibility. They don't have any sense of pride in 510 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: what they do, but at this moment, look at the 511 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: power I'm wielding. This is the same mindset as school shooters. 512 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 2: This is the same mindset as other terrorists, because that's 513 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: what these people are. They're terrorists. They are creating terror, 514 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: They are creating dysfunction, they are creating disorder. They are 515 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: creating an environment where other people are harmed at a 516 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 2: minimum psychologically, where other people are infuriated, frustrated, and unable 517 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 2: to conduct their lives. You know, we always have to 518 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: say that, well, what if an ambulance is coming through, 519 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: and you shouldn't need to say that you can't block 520 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 2: the road, period, end of story. We don't need to 521 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 2: say you can't block the road because somebody might need 522 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 2: the road for an ambulance. You simply can't block the road. 523 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: You simply can't do that, So what would they have 524 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 2: to do? Would they have to blow the building up? 525 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: Would they have to stab somebody to death? I don't 526 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 2: think that would be enough. The person who steps forward 527 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 2: and says, we're not taking it any longer. We're turning 528 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: the hoses on. We're turning the hoses on to start. 529 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 2: If you fire on us, we're firing back. If you 530 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 2: throw a rock at us, we're coming after you hard. 531 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 2: You won't do this again. The person who does this, 532 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 2: who the power they'll have. I'm Michael Berry in for 533 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: Clay and Buck all week. We have another hour coming up.
