1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Making the American Farm Strong Again. Team forty seven with 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck starts now. 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: President Trump has designed that he will invoke his Section 5 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: seven to forty of the Home Rule Act power for 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: the District of Columbia Washington, d C. Which gives the 7 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: President of the United States the ability to common deer 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: the Metro Police Department, which is the local police in Washington, 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 2: d C. Because of an emergency situation. We have the 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: President describing this. Actually, let's let you hear from President 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: Trump directly on this. It was quite a moment. This 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: has cut one play. 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 3: It under the authorities vested in me as the President 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: of the United States, I'm officially invoking section seven forty 15 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: what that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department 17 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,639 Speaker 3: under direct federal control. And you'll be meeting the people 18 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 3: that will be directly involved with that. Very good people, 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 3: but they're tough and they know what's happening, and they've 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: done it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard 21 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: to help re establish law order of public safety in Washington, 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: d C. And they're going to be allowed to do 23 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: their job properly. 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: This is a big move from the President. I'd say 25 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: I really like this and support this, and we'll get 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: into some of the details of this, Clay, but essentially 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: the President is saying enough is enough DC, which, as 28 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: we are very honest with you, I am fond of 29 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: the district, as is Clay. We've both lived there. Clay 30 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: went to college there. I lived there as a CIA 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: analyst way back in the day, and then later on 32 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: in life as a media personality for a short while, 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: so we both spent a lot of time in DC. 34 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: The crime situation there is way too high. Let's just 35 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: put it that way, Clay. They're running all these stories now, 36 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: oh crime is the lowest it is. Don't we all 37 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 2: want there to be no crime in our nation's capital. 38 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: Shouldn't this be something where we can get some degree 39 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: And we'll get into why there isn't bipartisan agreement. There 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: are a number of reasons for this, but there's a 41 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: whole range I think of options and opportunities here to 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: bring the crime level down to Tokyo levels. I mean, 43 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: that's really what we would like to see instead of 44 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: we've had fewer carjackings by fifteen year olds, Fewer people 45 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: shot and murdered in the streets of our nation's capital 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: for no reason. How about shooting for none, Clay, how 47 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: about deciding that we're not going to allow this madness 48 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: to continue because you and I are both familiar with it. 49 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: DC was always more dangerous when I lived there than 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: New York City post Giuliani. Rather New York City, it 51 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: wasn't even close. DC was always a far more rough 52 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: place to be starting around the early two thousands. 53 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: This is an example of something that Trump is doing 54 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: that should have one hundred percent approval that Democrats will 55 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: automatically hate. And I think it's indicative of why the 56 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: Democrat brand is in the toilet, because whether you are 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: a Democrat, Republican, or an independent, or just somebody who 58 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: doesn't vote at all, you should want our nation's capital 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: to be safe, no matter what your politics are. You 60 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: should want big cities in this country to be safe everywhere. 61 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: And I think Trump sees Washington, d C. As a 62 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: jewel of the nation. As we talked about last week. 63 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: If you look at the rates of murder in DC 64 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: compared to virtually every major city in the world. DC 65 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: is off the charts, unacceptably violent. And you've got Judge 66 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Janine who is in position now as the DC attorney 67 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: of record there. And I think what we are basically 68 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: seeing is Trump wants to fix problems that exist everywhere. 69 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: And even in that press conference said, hey, we've solved 70 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: everything at the border. We are in the process of 71 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: resolving many different issues associated with trade and balances and 72 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: economic issues and everything else. But even in that press conference, 73 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: which was a tour to force, let's be honest, we 74 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: went from Joe Biden can't even take a question from 75 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: the press without it being written out in advance on 76 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: a note card for him to as you said, Buck, yes, 77 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: the ostensible purpose of the press conference was to discuss DC. 78 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: But Trump took questions on China, He took questions on 79 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: Putin and Russia and the situation in Ukraine, basically everything 80 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: under the sun, with no preconceived, to my knowledge, knowledge 81 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: of where the questions were coming, and he handled them 82 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: with a plom Right. 83 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: We'll address that as well. He talked, because, of course, 84 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: the press asked him about a big thing on the horizon, 85 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: the planned meeting in Alaska of Vladimir Putin and Donald 86 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: Trump to try to bring an end to the Ukraine conflict. 87 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: Trump got into some specifics. There also some discussion of 88 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: well Trump's brought up the transports issue. Clay basically just 89 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: to be like, like they are, yeah, just you guys 90 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: are nuts. Just to be clear, Democrats, you're nuts. Trump 91 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: just threw that in. I appreciate that. You know, you 92 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: had to was season the sauce a little bit, you know, 93 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: you had to spice it up. He's like, hey, by 94 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: the way, you are the lunatics who think that men 95 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: should play against women in sports. So not really that 96 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: into hearing what the Democrats have to say on any 97 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: particular issue. But he also talked about Nvidia with the 98 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: deal to sell chips to China. He addressed some of 99 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: the concerns around that. So to your point, Clay covered 100 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: a whole range of issues and also makes jokes and 101 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 2: it's funny and the whole thing. I mean, it was 102 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: a Trump athony. It was a Trump bonanza up there. 103 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: You also had Pete Hegseth in the mix, Pam Bondi, 104 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: the Attorney General, Judge Janine This is very important. Judge 105 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 2: Janine is the US attorney for the District of Columbia 106 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: because there's the police and the prosecution components of this 107 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: that have to get aligned. And that's a big deal. 108 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: But we've all seen I'm sure law and Order, right. 109 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: I mean, I remember waking up hungover in college and 110 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 2: I think I would watch sometimes like six hours of 111 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: Law and Order in a row on a rainy Saturday. 112 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: Law and order is addictive, but it's the police, you know, 113 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: the detectives who investigate crimes, and then the prosecutors who 114 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: handle them. It's actually a good way to think about 115 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: these issues, Clay. The issue isn't just in DC getting 116 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: to the arrests, and Judge Janine made this very clear. 117 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 2: It's what happens to the people that do the very 118 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 2: bad thing once the prosecution is supposed to bring a 119 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: case against them. And a huge problem they have in 120 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: DC is you have these youths. I think that's how 121 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: they're generally referred to in the press, people under eighteen 122 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: who are doing very adult crimes. 123 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 4: Uh. 124 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: And you know this, this gets into this area of Okay, 125 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: if you shot somebody and didn't kill them and you're seventeen, 126 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: Judge Janin says that you can get probation for this. 127 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: This is stunning, right, I mean, if you don't murder somebody, 128 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: rape somebody, you know, forcible rape somebody. There's a few 129 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: other crimes that she pointed out. You can be sixteen 130 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: or seventeen and get essentially as you know, you give 131 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: be fourteen or fifteen. By the way, what the heck 132 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: is going on when we have a society that is 133 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: producing fourteen year olds who are trying to carjack people 134 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: fourteen year olds? This is that I went usual in DC. 135 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: I think it's just there's no dads at homes. I mean, 136 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: I think you really get down when you have a 137 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: fourteen year old trying to carjack somebody. It's a fundamental 138 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: failure of parenting because those kids are so young. That 139 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: should never be happening. And I think it's that we've 140 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: knocked down ads out of so many of these homes. 141 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: I bet every fourteen year old in America almost that 142 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: is getting arrested for something like carjacking. There is no 143 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: dat at home. I'm almost one hundred percent. 144 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: Well, that's your going now to even more upstream or 145 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: root cause of the problem. And that's obviously true. And 146 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: the data on this about and people get very upset 147 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: about this, but it is just the truth. We're talking data. 148 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: When we talk data and statistics, I don't really care 149 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: if people get upset by it. In fact, it's probably 150 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: a good thing that people hear data and statistics that 151 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: upsets them, because they need to hear it. If they 152 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: don't already know it, or they don't already understand the implications, 153 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: they need to hear it, which basically means almost every 154 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: Democrat that you know. I will say, Clay, I have 155 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: a close, close friend who, let's just say, has been 156 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 2: very close to the mayor of DC. And the interesting 157 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: thing here is that Mayor Bowser would like crime to 158 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: go down and would like to do more. What prevents 159 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 2: her from doing more? Politically speaking, I'm not saying that, 160 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: you know, I'm not absolving her here, you know, but 161 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 2: Trump You'll notice Trump isn't as hard on Bowser as 162 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: he is on like a Gavin you know, Cavin new 163 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 2: Scum or you know, the mayor of Chicago. I mean, 164 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 2: there are there are people who are in positions of 165 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: authority in this country, mayors and police commissioners specifically, and 166 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: city councils who are just flatly insane they're pro crime. 167 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: They're all Democrats. There are no Republicans who are actively 168 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: pro crime. There are Democrats who are actively pro crime. 169 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: And the problem in a place like DC is that 170 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: the city council is insane and there are considerable contingents 171 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: of the black community in d C that react very 172 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: angrily and politically to any crackdown by police. So what 173 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: this does is it creates a situation where President Trump, 174 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: now by federalizing this issue, could radically bring down the 175 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: crime rate in our nation's capital. I said could, but 176 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: it is possible. And then you would have Bowser, the mayor. 177 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: Obviously she's a black woman, she's the mayor of DC, 178 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: been mayor for years, is in a sense insulated from 179 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,119 Speaker 2: the political blowback among some members of the black community 180 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 2: for the crackdown that will make all members of the 181 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: black community and all DC residents safer. This is you know, 182 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: this goes very deep. But this is the problem. Why 183 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: is there such pushback because Democrats play this game, and 184 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: elected democrats, the city council plays this game. Clay people 185 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: forget this, and we can get into a little more 186 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 2: of the Home Rule of nineteen seventy three Act and 187 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: how to know how to affect DC. Congress has ultimate 188 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: responsibility for DC. There's the home rule means that there's 189 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: the mayor, and there's there is a local jurisdictional situation 190 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: for and you know, you can vote for the people 191 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 2: in charge of your day to life in DC. But 192 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: the President Trump actually has some specific authorities as the president, 193 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: especially under an emergency declaration like this. Congress not only 194 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: can deal with budgets in the district, Congress can override 195 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: legislation passed by the DC City Council. And I would 196 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: remind everybody that I forget the year, but it was 197 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: pretty recent where Congress stepped in to override the DC 198 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: City Council making the punishment for carjacking less. Yeah, too 199 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: crazy even for Democrats. So this gives you a sense 200 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: of what they're dealing with Clay in the city of 201 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: well in our capital city. 202 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and here is the data that I think ultimately 203 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: brings this home. Let me hit you with this as 204 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: we as we go into the first break, and I 205 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: would just say open phone lines. By the way, we're 206 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: going to talk with Congressman Jim Jordan at the bottom 207 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: of the hour. He's got some news. We'll discuss what 208 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: he thinks about whether there should be more control taken 209 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: over of DC, among other things. But Buck, we mentioned 210 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: this last week. The White House just shared this. I 211 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: want any one out there to defend this, regardless of 212 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: your politics. 213 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: Eight hundred and two A two two eight A two. 214 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty four murder rate in Washington, DC was 215 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: twenty seven point five per one hundred thousand, right, residents, 216 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: Listen to these other cities that aren't exactly known for 217 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: being wildly safe. Bogata, Colombia. You heard Trump talking about 218 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: at fifteen point one, Mexico City ten point six, So 219 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: our murder rate is nearly triple what the Mexico City 220 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: murder rate is. 221 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: Listen to some of these others. London's is easy because 222 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: you can barely measure it per one hundred thousand, which 223 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: is what they usually do per one hundred thousand homicides. 224 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: Is how you get these numbers. London's is one. 225 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: Yes, one, right, But I mean Islamabad do we think, hey, 226 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: this is nine? Let's see nine point two, Lima Peru 227 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: seven point six, Paris one point six. You heard Buck 228 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: mention that London is won and Madrid is under one 229 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,599 Speaker 1: Delhi in India is one point five. Havana, Cuba is 230 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: one point five. Why would anyone I think this is 231 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: a sign of how broken Democrat ideas are. We've got 232 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: a clip we'll share it for you eventually of MSNBC 233 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: coming in, an analyst coming on and saying, well, this 234 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: is the evidence of Trump's racism that he's trying to 235 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: crack down on crime and Washington, DC. Their ideas are 236 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: broken and they don't want good things to happen if 237 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: Trump is involved in them, because that points out how 238 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: they were unable to fix things. 239 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: So one of the initial points you made, Clay, this 240 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 2: is something that everyone reasonably rationally should be behind. Democrats won't. 241 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 2: And this is both the right thing to do and 242 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: the smart thing to do, the right thing to do 243 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: because it'll mean fewer carjackings, fewer murders, fewer rapes, fewer 244 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: gang stabbings, which will disproportionately, by the way, mean less 245 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: of that happening in the black community in DC. I 246 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: already gave the stats. We know what the stats are. 247 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: Over ninety percent of those who are incarcerated in the 248 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: District of Columbia for crimes committed there are black so 249 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: it will disproportionately affect the members of the black community 250 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 2: who are law abiding, who want to be able to 251 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 2: go on the Metro or go to work, or just 252 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: walk through the park and not be stabbed or attack. 253 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: And it's going to be high profile. This is why 254 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: it's smart. It's going to be something that even the 255 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: press is going to have to cover. They don't want to, 256 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: but they will because it is our nation's capital and 257 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: they live there. Where does the media live New York 258 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: and DC? If this is going on in their backyard? 259 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: Guess what they're going to have to deal with this? 260 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: And this can show the failure of Democrat policies on 261 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: crime and the success of Trump and the Republicans on 262 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: this issue in a way that will become unavoidable. I 263 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: think it's a really big deal, a big moment. I'm 264 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: very pleased to see the president doing it. 265 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 266 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: This was over on was this MSNBC or CNN? It 267 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: was one of the Communists Orgists. 268 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: And I'm going to point this out before where you 269 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: play it. Of all the opinions I've ever given, I 270 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: want there to be less people murdered in America seem 271 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: to me to be one of the least controversial takes 272 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: in my twenty year media career. Hey, I hate murders, 273 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: and I wish less people got murdered. I thought, man, 274 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: this is something that everybody could agree with. 275 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: I was wrong. I've been getting lit up over this. 276 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: It's really one of the funniest things. Generally, I would 277 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: as his cornerman, I would rush to his defense of this. 278 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: But this is just weak sauce, stop to bottom. But 279 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: here is a former Jeb exclamation point Bush Comms director, 280 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: So one of those Republicans who now just is a 281 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: Democrat but refuses to say it and goes on Democrat 282 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 2: channels to attack actual Republicans. Here is attacking by name 283 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: Clay Travis on MSNBC for saying things that all of 284 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: us are saying. But here we go play one. 285 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 5: This is all power play, right. It's all about the 286 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 5: vibes and the look. And that's why you've got guys 287 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 5: like Clay Travis on Fox News. I guess rooting for 288 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 5: living in a military state right now because they're trying 289 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 5: to demonstrate strength and machiesemo, and it's mostly more about 290 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 5: that than about the policy. 291 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: Clay, your testosterone has just overwhelmed the MSNBC table over there. 292 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: By the way, I don't even see how testosterone is 293 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: involved in wanting less murders. Are there people with high 294 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: levels of estrogen that just want more people murdered? 295 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: Excuse me, Clay. The claim was made that it was 296 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: your overwhelming machismo that while driving this. 297 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: I will acknowledge to MSNBC that in comparison to virtually 298 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: all of the men that appear on that network, I 299 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: would have overwhelming machismo. But this felt like somewhat of 300 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: a calculated attack. Buck, because yesterday I'm just media Matters. 301 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: Media Matters wrote the headline, this is a real headline 302 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: out kicks Clay Travis, federal takeover of DC should be 303 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: a test case for whether we can go into other cities, 304 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: and then they pulled here's my quote that they said 305 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: was so unbelievable. I would like DC to be a 306 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: test case for whether we could go into other cities 307 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: where far too many people are being murdered and help 308 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: to drive down the violent crime rate there as well. Again, 309 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised usually when people come after me or 310 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: you for something that we might say, because there are 311 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: things that we say that people on the left would 312 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: be unhappy about. This, to me is the least being 313 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: in favor of there being fewer murders. Is the least 314 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: controversial thing I may have ever said in my media career. 315 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: But I think it's indicative of their uninability to pick 316 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: rational things to fight about, because they're just so reflexively 317 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: anti Trump that even things that are not particularly political, 318 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: hey let's have less people die in DC, they automatically 319 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: line up against him on It really is derangement that 320 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: is not getting better. 321 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad Clay was able to take a moment 322 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: to stop smashing beer cans against his face and BELTI 323 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 2: the alphabet with all of his machismo talk about Yeah, 324 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: it was amazing. I saw that. I said, Wow, really, 325 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 2: just just throwing elbows at my man, Clay over this one. Dude, 326 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 2: this is not even you've You've say way great, No 327 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: one even remembers what you said about Michelle Obama. I 328 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: was like, Oh, they're going to come after him on 329 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 2: that one, but nope, apparently not. 330 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: That's like the seven hundred and forty eighth the least 331 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: controversial thing that I said yesterday and somehow that's. 332 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: The one that they just This is like when I 333 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: got attacked on HBO for my hot take on sports 334 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: for Simone Biles not being like the bravest for stepping 335 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: out of an event. You remember that one. It's always 336 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: the ones that you don't expect. It's always the ones, 337 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 2: you know, the takes that you put out there that 338 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 2: you don't Okay, let's dive into now the crime situation 339 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: and this back and forth because I think once again 340 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: trumpet well, oh wait no, this was my favorite. This 341 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 2: is my favorite. Ann Jura dajad jiedd Haradas Jurijadus. I'm 342 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: not trying to get that one right. Jured Haradus was 343 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 2: on Morning Joe. I did not see this live. Unfortun 344 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: my Morning Joe viewing did not catch this one. But 345 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 2: this is the kind of stuff that is being offered up. Well, meanwhile, 346 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 2: Cash Bettel is saying, yeah, FBI just arrested a whole 347 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: bunch of very scary, very bad bad dudes, bad people 348 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: who have committed very serious crimes who are out there 349 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 2: in DC. So things are already happening. They're already taking 350 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: action to take violent criminals off the streets over at MSNBC. 351 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: This guy, mister GERARDA. Hardis is saying that this is 352 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 2: what he's worried about. Play two. 353 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 4: A relatively small crime problem is being used for specific 354 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 4: authoritarian purposes that. 355 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: We know and understand. 356 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 4: So let's be clear about DC does have a really one, 357 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: really big crime problem, which was the January sixth insurrection 358 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: incited by the current President of the United States, and 359 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: his first action coming back was pardoning all the people 360 00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 4: who tried to overturn constitutional republic order in wh DC. 361 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 4: When I go to DC, I'm not afraid of losing 362 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 4: my wallet so much as I'm afraid of losing my vote. 363 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 4: I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much as 364 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 4: I'm afraid that my children's freedom to breathe will be 365 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 4: stolen in a world where climate change policy is non existent. 366 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: Clay, I'm not scared of crime in DC. I'm scared 367 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: of climate change. Might be the most perfect distillation of 368 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: live MSNBC delusion I have ever heard post COVID. I mean, 369 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: it might be the craziest thing, and I'm sure he's 370 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 2: not alone in believing this. 371 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: I think that opposing Trump trying to bring down violent 372 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: crime in DC maybe the craziest anti Trump position that 373 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: Democrats have taken yet. I look, there are other things 374 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: Trump I think has exposed them on men and women's sports, 375 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: for instance, but that's a choice they made prior to Trump. 376 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: This is a direct response to Trump saying I want 377 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: to bring down the overall death rate in the country. 378 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: In our nation's capital, I want it to be a 379 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: beautiful jewel of a city with low crime, low homelessness, 380 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: less graffiti, less waste product everywhere. And this guy comes 381 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: on and says that he's worried about climate change more 382 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: than he's worried about being mugged. First of all, that's 383 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: a lie. There's no one who, especially an effeminate man 384 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: like him. There's no one out there walking the streets 385 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: of DC late at night that is thinking as they 386 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: breathe the air, oh my goodness, I am terrified of 387 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: climate change. But thank the Lord, I don't have to 388 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: worry about getting somebody knocking me in the back of 389 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: the head. That doesn't exist. And this is one of 390 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: the things that I think is exposing democrats is that 391 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: their arguments are so profoundly inauthentic that even people who 392 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: might believe in climate change. Don't believe that argument, And 393 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that guy has kids, because I'm frankly, that's 394 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: not an argument that sounds like someone with a functional 395 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: penis would make. So congratulations to him on that, I guess. 396 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: But this is you know, maybe that's machismo coming out 397 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: of me, but come on, like, this is not This 398 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: is not a real argument that a rational human being 399 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 1: would make, and he doesn't even believe it, right, I mean, 400 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: this is This is the essence I think of their 401 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: collapse as a party, why they keep hitting new lows 402 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: in support and why they basically have no men in 403 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: America that are supporting the Democrat Party. Now would that 404 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: have functional brains at all? I think it's arguments like. 405 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: These spoken like the mansplaining machismo expert himself, Clay Travis, 406 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: all the machismo just just you know, oh I can't 407 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 2: handle it all. Yeah, man, crime is bad, and anyone 408 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: who's lived in DC or spent time there knows that 409 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: this has been a member. At one point was the 410 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: murder capital of the United States. I understand it's gotten 411 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: a lot better since then, but it also got a 412 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: lot worse than twenty twenty three relative to where it 413 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: has been in the twenty first century. And there's also 414 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: more we're evidence they're cooking the books and that the 415 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: prosecutors are downgrading felony crimes to non felonies to make 416 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: things look better. Anyone who has seen the show The 417 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: Wire remembers this, and anyone who's worked in a major 418 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 2: police department knows this is something that is a temptation 419 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 2: for the brass. Oh yeah, we're doing a great job 420 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: in this precinct because we're actually not doing the arrests 421 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: that we were doing before. Or on the prosecutorial side, 422 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: same idea, we're just going to downgrade all these arrests 423 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 2: to something that's not a big deal. 424 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: Also, Jan sixth as in some way a you know, 425 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: the worst day for America since the Civil War, even 426 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: trying to continue to make that argument with just something 427 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden tried to sell. There 428 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: was barely a blip when Trump pardoned everybody who was 429 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: involved in Jan. Six Now, partly that's because Biden pardoned 430 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: his entire family right beforehand, but I also think it's 431 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: an understanding that they played that for every ounce that 432 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: they could, and there's just no juice left in that 433 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: in that orange, so to speak. The Team forty seven 434 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers Making the American Farm 435 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: strong Again. You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay 436 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: and Buck. 437 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: More on the DC crime drama. They're still going for it, 438 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 2: they're still pushing it. In fact, Clay something that you 439 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: see today, DC files a lawsuit challenging the administration's police takeover. 440 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 2: This just happened today and this is still breaking. So 441 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: the District of Columbias filed an emergency motion challenging the 442 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: Trump administration's attempt. They're going to have a judge listen 443 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: to this. The issue is, I see it here. It's 444 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: pretty cut and dry that the president can do this. 445 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to find some and I know 446 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: the Democrats have a million ways. They'll say it violates 447 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 2: the Administrative Procedures Act or something. Don't even knows the 448 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 2: Administrative Procedures Act is. So this is just what they say. 449 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: The people who's say they know what it is don't 450 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 2: even know what it is. So I'm wondering where they're 451 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: really going to take this and what this judge is 452 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: going to say. And we still have the redistricting fight 453 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: going on. By the way, the governor California, Gavin Newsom, 454 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: has kicked off his campaign for a proposition. Lay your buddy, Gavin. 455 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: I think Gavin is still the leading I think he 456 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: is the leading Democrat in the country right now. Bernie 457 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: Sanders gets more live hype from the tours he does, 458 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: but I think Gavin views himself as the alpha male. 459 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: We're gonna get into the alpha males Trump and putin 460 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 2: here in a second, but what do you think of 461 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: both the DC emergency order challenging this or emergency challenge 462 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: I should say to the crime takeover, Well, let's start 463 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 2: with that one. I'm seeing this as they're just making 464 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: it worse for themselves. And at this point, all Trump 465 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 2: has to do is just keep doing what he's doing, 466 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 2: and everybody who's opposing him is going to look increasingly foolish. 467 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: It is indisputably the case that Trump as the constitutional 468 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: authority to act as he did in Washington, d C. 469 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: With that in mind, it is also possible that a 470 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: federal district court judge could in the DC area question 471 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: whether Trump has that power, particularly Boseburg and the anti 472 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: Trump contingent of the district court judges. So the media 473 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: will chase whatever the district court judges do. But remember 474 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit. I believe one of the federal district 475 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: court judges, a brother of Stephen Bryer, if I'm not mistaken, 476 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: in the San Francisco area, said that Trump didn't have 477 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: the right to call in the guard in LA and 478 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: almost immediately that was reversed as it moved up the 479 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: legal hierarchy. But it wouldn't shock me if a judge 480 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: said that Trump can't do what he clearly can do, 481 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: because many of these judges are basically politicians and robes, 482 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: and so he can indisputably do this. Warriors everywhere who 483 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: have even spent a sintila of time studying this not 484 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: a difficult case. But that doesn't mean that some judge 485 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: might not say, well, I don't think he could do it, 486 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, for some reason, just to write an opinion 487 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: to get a lot of attention. 488 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: This is what we're going to see. Are the hashtag 489 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 2: resistance judges in DC willing to remember this is not 490 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: an interpretation of like a broad spectrum authority that the 491 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: president has. This this is specifically in the district of 492 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 2: Columbia and looking at a law pass the nineteen seventy 493 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 2: three that has been good law for fifty years that 494 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: deals exactly with this issue, that says Trump can do this. 495 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: This is Trump has thirty days. He can do this. 496 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 2: It says it in the law. Are we going to 497 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 2: have a judge that comes along, I'm i'm I could. 498 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: Go out of the fifty to fifty whether just say 499 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: that he can't do it. Eventually judges will say he can, 500 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: but there might be one judge who says he cannot. 501 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: It'll just It's fascinating though, because you see this, judges 502 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 2: no longer when it comes to Trump and the hashtag 503 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: resistant judiciary, they're no longer. There's no longer the fear 504 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 2: of embarrassment at being completely slapped down. Nine oh, remember 505 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 2: when they tried to kick Trump off the ballot in Colorado. 506 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: I think they talked about it in Maine, right, but 507 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: they actually were moving forward on her in Colorado Supreme Court. 508 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: Nine to Ozho even so to mayor even ca Tangi 509 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: Brown Jackson. We're like, guys, I mean, we gotta pretend. 510 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 2: We gotta pretend at least, right, this is not even 511 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: pretending to care what the law says. This is pretty 512 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: close to that for me, based on the reading of 513 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy three Home rele Act. If a judge 514 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: manages to come up with some way to stop Trump 515 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 2: on this, it's just a judge saying I don't like Trump. 516 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: They're not even pretending the law matters. 517 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: I also think this is where there should be some 518 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: consequences when judges engage and behave that's way outside the 519 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: bounds of what the law is. When you get lifetime tenure, 520 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 1: there's virtually nothing that happens to any of these federal 521 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: district court judges. Sure there's a measure of embarrassment on 522 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: some level for people who want to actually apply the law, 523 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: but I think in many ways that's canceled out by 524 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: other judges giving them pats on the back and saying, 525 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: way to stand up to that tyrant, Way to stand 526 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: up to that authoritarian. 527 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 2: This is what judges should do. 528 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: And honestly, I think if you get overruled nine to zero, 529 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: I think you should actually have a consequence, you know. 530 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: The A good example is you were just pointing out 531 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: the Colorado Supreme Court. Everybody wants to forget about it 532 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: because now they're saying, oh, redistricting is putting democracy on 533 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: the ballot and all these things. The state of Colorado 534 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: voted to pull Donald Trump off of the ballot and 535 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: not allow people there to vote for him. The Colorado 536 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: Supreme Court said four to three, that's appropriate. We can 537 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: do this looking at the federal Constitution. And then the 538 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: actual Supreme Court looked at it and said nine to zero, no, 539 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: this is unacceptable. But all of those people in Colorado, 540 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: there were no consequences for them being wrong. There were 541 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: no consequences that we barely even talk about what they 542 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: tried to do. And what was it Maine that followed up. 543 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: There were multiple states that were willing to get in 544 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: line and say Trump was disqualified from being able to 545 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: be eligible for president of the United States. If that's 546 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: not an actual legal insurrection, what is you know? That's 547 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: the phrase Kathy Hokel used to describe Texas redistricting. Pulling 548 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: a candidate off the ballot and not allowing your citizens 549 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: to vote is to me a level of attack on 550 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: basic democracy and the process of it. Were resident that may. 551 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: Force judicial overreach seen in the Trump era against Trump, 552 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 2: I could because it's I mean, you think about They 553 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: also were just deciding that there was no there was 554 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: no process to speak of. I mean, they just said, yeah, 555 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: Trump did a thing I don't like, so he can't 556 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: be on the ballot. 557 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: You can't and you can't even point to that just 558 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: being one judge Buck, which is why I find it 559 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: so troubling. The Colorado Supreme Court. I believe there's seven 560 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices in the state of Colorado voted four 561 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: to three, we're going to do this. So that actually 562 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: went through the entire Colorado court system and they said yes, 563 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: and then they got slapped down nine to zero. And 564 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm mentioning it now, and I bet a lot of 565 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: you are just now thinking, oh, yeah, I totally forgot 566 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 1: about that. Because there's so many legal process and procedures 567 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: that have been put in place since then. I think 568 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: that was, of all of them, the most egregious. And 569 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: so when you hear somebody like Kathy Hokel, Governor of 570 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: New York, say, oh, this is a legal insurrection referring 571 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: to Texas or redistricting, I think it's important to remember 572 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: what they did legitimately in trying to take Trump off 573 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: the ballot, and it had to go all the way 574 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: to Supreme Court to put his name on the ballot. 575 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: I can't think of anything that's even remotely comparable that 576 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: any Republican has ever done that is a legal attack 577 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: of a similar nature on Democrats. 578 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there are Democrats out there. This is as somebody 579 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: who's been in Baghdad during a war. I gotta tell you. 580 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: Here's Tiffany Cross, Democrat saying, I guess this is over 581 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: at CNN, CNNMSNBC. You know, Tomato, Tomato, It's all the 582 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: same these days. Here she is saying, Remember, she's upset. 583 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: This is cut five. She's upset not because DC is dangerous, 584 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 2: but because there are too many people who are there 585 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 2: to make it safer on the streets. Play five. 586 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 6: I mean, this is frightening. I kind of disagree with 587 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 6: you both. It's not a distraction, and the way we're 588 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 6: normalizing fascism is frightening. I left DC today it looked 589 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 6: like Baghdad. The way that the National Guard has taken over, 590 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 6: the way that they have militarized the police force there. 591 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 6: It is scary. And so the fact that he has 592 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 6: previously threatened to have Gavin Newsom arrested. He had the 593 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 6: Christy known the Homeland Security Secretary. I mean, for her, 594 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 6: killing puppies is business as usual. She's not in any 595 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 6: position to even be qualified to oversee a department with this. 596 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 6: Ice does not have the authority to arrest anybody. He 597 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 6: is deploying them, like you said, like it's his own 598 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 6: personal police force. 599 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 2: Just ignoring everything that's true and just saying things that 600 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 2: are crazy and emotionally charged, and even a shot about 601 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: the Gnomes puppies. In the past, she did leave herself 602 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 2: open to that. But man, I'm not defending it. I'm 603 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: just saying working this is a kitchen sig strategy. It's fascism, 604 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 2: attacking Gnome for the dog thing and all this stuff. 605 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: She's she's going all in on this instead of just 606 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 2: saying for a second, hold on, well, there are I've 607 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: seen plenty of There was an armory near where I 608 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 2: grew up in New York. You see people in military uniforms. 609 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 2: Why is it scary to see people from the National Guard? 610 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 2: Why would that be a bad thing? This is a 611 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: little bit like why police on your block should make 612 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: you feel safer, and if they don't, you should ask why. 613 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 2: I agree? 614 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: And anybody out there who doesn't want more police is 615 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: probably doing something illegal. And here's a big question. Worst 616 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: case scenario, Trump does all this additional mobilization of resources 617 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: to help try to make DC safer and the crime 618 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: rate stays basically the same. That's the worst case scenario, 619 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: absolute worst case scenario. Has anybody really considered what happens 620 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: if it works. Imagine if Trump brings these resources to 621 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,479 Speaker 1: bear on the district of Columbia and suddenly violent crime 622 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: drops by forty percent. We'll get what he did on 623 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: the border where basically nobody talks about the border. It's 624 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: important sometimes to remember stories that were big, Oh, Trump 625 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: can't be on the ballot, he's not a constitutionally eligible 626 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: to be president. 627 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: It's just vanishes. 628 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: Nobody even mentions it the border, nobody mentions it at all. 629 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: Has anybody really thought? This is why I love the 630 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: move that Trump is making. I don't see a downside. 631 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: Democrats say, hey, we've got too many police. Most people say, 632 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: well we should. If you're upset about too many police, 633 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: you're probably a criminal. The only person who's upset about 634 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: a drunk driving a test check is the person who's 635 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: driving drunk. Right, Like, if you're driving, you know, you 636 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 1: know how the person they can catch you, because some 637 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: guys are like uh oh, and you turn and go 638 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: the opposite direction and they pull you over. If you 639 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: see a drunk driving checkpoint, it's probably a sign that 640 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: you may have been drinking. The only people upset about 641 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: drunk driving checkpoints are people that might have been drinking. 642 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: To me, the only people upset about more police on 643 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: the streets are people who are actually engaged in criminal behavior. 644 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 2: But buck, what if it works? 645 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: What if in two months we have a fifty percent 646 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: decline in violent crime in DC? What if carjacking plummets. 647 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: What if the number of murders plummet? What do democrats 648 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: do then? I and worst case scenario, nothing changes, And 649 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: the problems are so intractable at DC right now that 650 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: more troops and more police on the ground don't impact things. 651 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: But I just see this as brilliant when you write 652 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: when you analyze risk reward, if the risk is zero 653 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: and the reward is massive, that to me seems like 654 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 1: something you should do in all facets of life. 655 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 2: And that to me is this Yeah, And yet they're 656 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 2: still going to scream about this and say that it 657 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 2: is fascism
