1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. We talk about movies a fair amount

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: on the show, and there's one that comes to mind

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: a little bit these days when I'm seeing I was

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: just up up a New York with family, and so

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: I was in Midtown, where I spend most of my time.

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: I was in the iHeart studio there and then walking

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: around the streets. Very crowded. A lot of tourists on

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: the streets these days, which is good to see, but

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: also people a bit anxious concerns out there about how

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: safe it is, certainly about how safe it is on

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: the subway, which makes perfect sense given the realities of

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: the New York City subway. But I mentioned, and I'll

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: get into that in a second. I mentioned movies. You know, Clay,

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: there was this movie back in nineteen seventy four. I

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: used to watch all the action movies. Right if it

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: was an action movie made in the seventies, eighties, or

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: the nineties, I was pretty much on board. So I

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: celebrated not just Schwarzenegger and Stallone, two greats of the genre,

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: but even Dolph Lungdgren, Van Damn, Charles Bronson, I mean

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: go down the list like Chuck Norris. Obviously I can't

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: name them all right now, but I saw them all man,

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: and I saw the ones with numerals after the movie titles.

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Where it was not exactly a critical or audience hit.

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: I just kept seeing all these different action movies. Death

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Wish came out of nineteen seventy four. Death Wish was

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: about It was Charles Bronson movie. It did well and

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: there were there were five five of them, and then

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: they made a remake in twenty eighteen. But it was

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: about a decaying, unsafe New York City where this guy,

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: an architect living in New York City, has street punks constantly,

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, menacing everyone, and then eventually they go after

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: and they harm an assault and do terrible things to

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: his family, and he's just like I've had enough, and

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: he goes out there and he's a vigilante. It was

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: a very popular movie. Why was it a popular movie? Well, okay,

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: he could say it was action, good guy, bad guys,

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: but are also resonated because the New York City. My

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: dad went to Columbia University in New York City, graduated

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: in sixty nine and then you know, lived in New

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: York for years trying to make his way in the

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: world of finance. He tells stories about what it was

43
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: like in the seventies. You had the subways covered, all

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: of them covered in graffiti, broken windows all over the place,

45
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: broken windows policing we get from just fixing that issue,

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: and people had just had enough. And I'm telling you

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: we're reaching a point now where New York, for some

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: people starting to feel like it is trending back in

49
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: that direction. I know they're going to say the numbers

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: aren't as bad as they were in even the nineties

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: was actually the worst. People forget that. The seventies it

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: looked really bad. But the nineties was when you had

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: the most violent crime in New York and a lot

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: of other cities. Nineteen ninety, I believe was the hi

55
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: mark twenty two hundred murders. Right, how do you get

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to a place where you have twenty two hundreds in

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: New York City? Well, I could point you to the

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: adist from the District Attorney in the City of New York,

59
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: where he's just essentially decided Clay to stop enforcing the law.

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: The District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, in a lot of cases

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: not in all cases. He has downgraded fifty two percent

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: of felony cases to misdemeanors. Half of the felonies that

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: come before him, he makes effectively a nothing. He treats

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: it like a nothing. Burgher, he wins a conviction fifty

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: one percent of the time. That is just However, understands

66
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: federal in federal criminal court, your chance of getting convicted,

67
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: you're basically ninety seven percent of them are convictions. Ninety

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: eight percent of convictions fifty one percent convictions. And this

69
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: is between twenty thirteen or twenty twenty. Downgraded cases by

70
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Cyrus Vans never once exceeded even forty percent. So crime

71
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: is going up. The District Attorney of New Or is

72
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: treating crime less seriously and letting more people get away

73
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: with it. This is what happens. This is why people

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: start becoming crazy about not want to go on the

75
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: subways and why vigilantes may even pop up in the future.

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: I saw that they said subway crime was up forty

77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: percent in the last year, which is a pretty massive increase.

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, what's going on right now is you are

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: seating the cities and states for elevated rates of crime

80
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: going forward because you were not enforcing the wall everybody

81
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: looks around. This was the broken windows theory of policing, Buck,

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: and the idea, which has been proven correct in many

83
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: different respects, was slow level offenses because you can understand

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: if you're out there and you're saying, why are the

85
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: police arresting somebody for a relatively minor offense, right and

86
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: when there's all these other more serious things going on,

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: is that they're all connected. And when you see a

88
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: community that allows violence and allows crime to occur, you

89
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: are more likely yourself to perpetrate violence in the same

90
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: way that when you see one broken window, you're more

91
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: likely to pick up a rock and throw another broken window.

92
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: And that feeds on itself. And right now, I think

93
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: what we're seeing, Buck, is the feeding on itself aspect

94
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: of low crime policies. And we're going to have to

95
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: go back, and I'm curious how long it's going to

96
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: take until we get there to an era when it's

97
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: so widespread the violence, because if you'll remember in nineteen

98
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: ninety four when the Crime Bill was passed, things were

99
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: so bad that Democrats and Republicans both agreed that crime

100
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: was out of control and something had to be done

101
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: about it. And ironically, even though he now rejects it,

102
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: the one thing that Joe Biden might have gotten right

103
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: in his political career was supporting that nineteen ninety four

104
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: crime bill. Some Democrats tend to be moderate, tend to

105
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: be the same element of the Democrat Party are now recognizing, hey,

106
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: we failed on crime. It's time to address this. But

107
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: a lot of them are still saying what you said

108
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: at the beginning, Oh, look at the data that's been

109
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: far worse before. Well yeah, that's true, but that doesn't

110
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: mean it can't get worse rapidly in short order. And

111
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: what we've never seen before is this rapid of an

112
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: escalation in violent crime if you go back and compare

113
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: it to twenty nineteen and New York City is a

114
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: great article about the election, Buck saying that we talked

115
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: about how I think I've read it in the New

116
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: York Times this weekend, the Sunday edition Long Island in particular,

117
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: where I know we have a lot of people listening.

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Basically had a monstrous red wave that they flipped several

119
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: congressional districts that Biden won by double digits to the

120
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Republican Party. Crime is visceral in New York City in

121
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: a way that maybe it's not as visceral in other

122
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: parts of the country, but just it's worth I think

123
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: everyone understanding that the mindset of your average Democrat voting

124
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: in New York City and in Lass Angeles is at

125
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: this point because everyone knows that you go into drug stores,

126
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: and I mean in the most populous neighborhoods, not not

127
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: in the high crime neighborhoods. That's been the case for

128
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: a long time. I'm talking about Midtown Manhattan. I'm talking

129
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: about Santa Monica in Los Angeles. I'm talking about the

130
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: West Side in Los Angeles, closer to the ocean, where

131
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: you have a lot of fancy, fancier neighborhoods and things

132
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: are on lockdown, and there are people living in tense

133
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: cities in the streets. You know, Governor Gavin Newsom who

134
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: says he's not running for president Clay, We'll see, I

135
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know, We'll see no matter what what Biden does,

136
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: he's not running for president. Now, this guy is a

137
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: world class liar, So you know, I don't give him

138
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: any credence here or whatsoever. But it is interesting that

139
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: he put it out publicly, but the you know, there's

140
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to calculate crime and a lot

141
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: of ways to understand how it affects people in their

142
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: day to day lives. The homelessness situation, which is absolutely

143
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: tied into the problems of petty larsony and drug overdoses

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: and drug dealing and a whole range of issues. But

145
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: the homeless situation California, where they have more homeless people

146
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: than any other state in the entire country, has turned

147
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: into all this finger pointing among Democrats because they know

148
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: it's a problem. So what happens is Gavin Newsom says

149
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: to the mayor of San Francisco, London, breeds as the

150
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: mayor of Los Angeles, etc. Go down all these there's

151
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: so many cities actually in the state of California. You

152
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: have to fix the homelessness problem or else we're going

153
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: to start holding back funds from you. This is what

154
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: this is, what is now. This is the latest on this,

155
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: and they're saying, well, if you if you hold back

156
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: state funds, the problem is going to get even worse.

157
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: And no one's actually fixing anything. They're just pointing fingers

158
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: of blame to say it's not my fault. I need

159
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: more of this, or they need more of that, or

160
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. But what we saw unfortune

161
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: this election is for a lot of Democrats, the possibility

162
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: of somebody you know, attacking you on your way home,

163
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: ransacking your store, throw you know, all matter of crimes,

164
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: all manner of crimes. I mean, even in New York,

165
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Clay I think I've had in the last six months,

166
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: I had four times someone came off to me demanded money.

167
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: I ignored them. They start cursing and be threatening to

168
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: stab me or whatever. This is just life in New

169
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: York City in midtown. That's going on. The Democrat mindset,

170
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: which is completely reinforced by the Lib media, by the

171
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: New York Times, by CNN, is that's a small price

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: to pay for defending our democracy. This is the propaganda. Unfortunately,

173
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: people are suffering, businesses are being destroyed, people are being murdered, rape, robbed, assaulted,

174
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: and Democrats want you to worry more about Trump and

175
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: they're they're so blinded and they're so propagandized to at

176
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: this point that that actually worked enough. And that's what's

177
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: really sad. Yeah, And I think that's a big picture

178
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: question for all of twenty twenty three, which everyone listening

179
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: to us is going to hap to analyze in some

180
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: form or fashion. As the twenty twenty four election, which

181
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: we told you would effectively start the day after the

182
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two election was over, You're going to have

183
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: to analyze that for Trump. Is the branding of Trump

184
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: so effective when it comes to independence that he's almost

185
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: unable to win a nationwide election or do you believe

186
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: that he can still get it done again? I think

187
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: it's such an interesting question, and that is, you know,

188
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: give him credit even though it's not deserved, and even

189
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: though it's unfair. The Democrat Party basically a line behind

190
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: so to Washington Post, New York Times, MSNBC, and CNN,

191
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: something that is a lie, which is Donald Trump is

192
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: the biggest threat to American democracy in the world. I mean,

193
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: that's basically what they are saying, and enough people have

194
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: bought it that it's very hard to convince people that

195
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: that's not true. Yeah. Unfortunately, the Democrats, the voting Democrats,

196
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: went along with that um and they would go along

197
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: with whatever the apparatus tells them. So that's that's a

198
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: huge challenge. But they were able to get enough enough

199
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: independent and swing voters to believe that at some level.

200
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: Part that's tough, and that's the part of it that

201
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: really and look, we have to face that. But there

202
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: are people, you know, there are voters in Maricopa County.

203
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: This is based on the exit polling, and I know

204
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: the machine shut down and they they did the dirty tricks.

205
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: We said they were going to do the dirty tricks.

206
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: But there were independent voters. There were you know, the uh,

207
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: the kind of Legacy McCain GEO moderate GEOP types who said, yeah, okay,

208
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: maybe things are getting much more dangerous in Phoenix, but

209
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't vote for something that's gonna be

210
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: a someone who's going to be a threat to our democracy.

211
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they actually convinced themselves that's more important. So

212
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: we have to keep hammering this and pointing out that,

213
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: first of all, there are a lot of lies around

214
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: the criminal justice reform movement. I'm gonna say it. Donald

215
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: Trump shouldn't have gone along with some of this criminal

216
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: justice reform stuff. It actually did not help. It did

217
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: not make things better. No one seems to want to

218
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: have that conversation. I actually look at the data. I

219
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: look at what's happened in the cities where they've instituted

220
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: some of these policies and programs. And you know, just

221
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: the idea that we're locking up all these people for

222
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: non violent, low level drug offenses, that is not true.

223
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: That's actually not happening. You have to move a lot

224
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: of weight. And the notion that somebody who has a

225
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: weapon while they're selling illegal drugs isn't connected to violent

226
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: criminal activity. Why is the drug dealer on the corner

227
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: carrying a glock in his pants. It's not so we

228
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: can just show it to his friends. Like, we need

229
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: to actually start being honest about what criminality really is

230
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: in America and how it happens. And also people need

231
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: to understand the concept of pleaing down to charges. When

232
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: somebody says, oh, this person's in jail because they know

233
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: they had marijuana in possession or whatever. First of all,

234
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: it might have been a lot of marijuana. Secondly, they

235
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: may have had four more serious charges that were maybe

236
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: violent in nature, and they pled down to the less

237
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: serious of those charges, so that it seems as if

238
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: they have been convicted of a serious crime only relating

239
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: to marijuana, when the four things they did on top

240
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: of that is actually why they have played to the crime.

241
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: And if you really want to know what hypocrites they

242
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: are and what frauds they are on this issue, you

243
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: look at the way that big city das all Democrats,

244
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: Democrat of New York, Democrat in Philadelphia, Democrat in Chicago.

245
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: The big city das constantly talking about how we need

246
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: stricter gun laws. But then when people have illegal firearms

247
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: and not because they were going quail hunting on the weekend. Okay,

248
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: we're not talking about somebody with a side by side

249
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: who's going after some pheasant on the weekend and haven't

250
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: registered their weapon or something. We're talking about gang bangers

251
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: with handguns. And what are the big city das say, Oh,

252
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: we don't want to ruin this young man's life by

253
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: charging him with a serious crime, even though he's maybe

254
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: a felon in possession of the firearm, a crime. On

255
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: top of a time, in Philadelphia, they're letting more than

256
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: half of illegal gun crimes go, but they think an

257
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: assault rifle band is gonna You know, I got news

258
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: for anybody who doesn't know this, whether it's in New

259
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: York or Philly or any major city, they're not actually

260
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: shooting each other overwhelmingly. I mean less than one percent

261
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: of the time with an AAR with a rail system

262
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: and an a cog on top. No, they're pulling out

263
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: a pistol and they're shooting people and they don't prosecute them. Clay,

264
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, even though it didn't have the impact that

265
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: it should have in this midterm, we need to keep

266
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: talking about this issue so people want to understand, you know,

267
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's time to make some different decisions about where

268
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: you want to be, whether you're in a city in

269
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: certain states. That's another part of this too, because I

270
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna I think the mechanisms for improvement

271
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: aren't sound enough that people won't have to suffer through

272
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: this for years to come. I think I think New

273
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: York has gotten maybe four or five more years a

274
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: downtrend here before people wake up. You know what I

275
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: woke up on this morning, Clay. My Giza dreamsheets. They're

Speaker 1: to Buck for sitting in on Friday. I know many

310
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: of you were listening as you were still working, and

311
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: certainly a lot of you didn't get time off. I

312
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: was up in Ohio and Columbus met a lot of

313
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: fantastic Clay and Buck listeners who are both Michigan and

314
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: Ohio state fans, had a fantastic time up at that game.

315
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: But everybody behind the scenes and the Fox Sports production

316
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: crew working, I know that many of you were working

317
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: throughout the holiday season as well. So thank you for

318
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: everyone who kept the country rolling and managed to not

319
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: get a break. And we certainly are thankful for all

320
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: of you and everything that you do for us. But Buck,

321
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: I know we played Doctor Fauci's final goodbye from the

322
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: White House, and the long goodbye has continued. And to me,

323
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: the biggest story coming out of the weekend using protests

324
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: that are occurring right now in China, and those protests

325
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: are against COVID lockdowns. While much of the world has

326
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: moved on, China has remained committed to the draconian Doctor

327
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: fauci led idea. Effectively, this is what Fauci would have

328
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: done if he had had total control in America of

329
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: COVID zero. And finally, that is the idea that anytime

330
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: you have COVID positive cases, you shut down entire areas. Buck.

331
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: We played the audio, if you remember, felt very dystopian

332
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: of the drones that were flying around telling people basically

333
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: to abandon all hope and remain. I believe that was

334
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: in Shanghai. Do not give into your heart's desire for freedom,

335
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: was what the drones were saying. Yes, And so you

336
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: and I and everybody out there knows that protesting in America,

337
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: Oh you get to go on social media and put

338
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: up a hashtag and put up a flag, and oh,

339
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: you're so heroic. You're a social justice warrior. If anything,

340
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: it helps your overall credibility. It certainly doesn't buy in

341
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: large harm you, especially if you're engaged in left wing

342
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: protests and China things are different. It requires a lot

343
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: more bravery. And many people in China right now are

344
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: out in the streets and they are holding up white

345
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: sheets of paper to symbolize a belief in freedom of

346
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: speech and an attack on censorship from the Chinese government.

347
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: And we're gonna play you some audio, but I just

348
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: want you to think about this buck because it puts

349
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: our friends on the left wing in this country in

350
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: an incredibly untenable position, because either they have to condemn

351
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist government for not allowing people to make

352
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: basic decisions about their personal autonomy, their freedom in their life,

353
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: or they have to acknowledge that also COVID lockdowns, COVID

354
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: shutdowns didn't work. Because there are many people in this country,

355
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: including doctor Fauci, who still point to China as an

356
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: example of a country that got everything in their opinion

357
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: right about COVID. They envy the idea of lockdowns, of shutdowns,

358
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: of barricading people inside their homes and not allowing them

359
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: to leave until the virus is snuffed out, and so

360
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: it has become increasingly untenable. Even places like New Zealand

361
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: and Australia, which wore police states in many way associated

362
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: with COVID, have abandoned this idea and now China is

363
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: standing alone. So your thoughts as you watch these protests

364
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: emerge buck and also on their degree of untenability in

365
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: terms of the challenges they put forward for the lockdown

366
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: proponents like Fauci, who still would shut down this country.

367
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not hopeful as some are right now

368
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: that this is going to be the end of hijinping,

369
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: that this is going to overthrow the communist regime. Authoritarian

370
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: truly authoritarian governments not semi want to be like we

371
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: had here during COVID, But the real deal, which certainly

372
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: communist China, is they spend most of their time and

373
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: energy and security resources on that issue of how do

374
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: we stay in charge? No matter what. They're not worried

375
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: about elections, they're not where it's just how do we

376
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: stay in charge? So it's very very hard. You've seen

377
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: this for decades now in Iran, you know, every time,

378
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: and the Iranians recently even we're out in the streets protesting,

379
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: and every time there's a moment we say, oh, wouldn't

380
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: it be great if this was the time that the

381
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: Iranian Mullah's that the theocracy of Iran was gone. And

382
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: it's so far it's been, you know, since nineteen seventy nine,

383
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. So I'm not hopeful of this will

384
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: be I should say I don't expect. Hope is one thing,

385
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: but expecting as another. But the Biden administration response to

386
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: this for a lot of people should be eye opening

387
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: because exactly what you were just saying, and what we

388
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: have been saying here now for the entire time we've

389
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: been doing this show together, is that the Democrats, if

390
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: they could have gotten away with much more severe lockdowns,

391
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: they would have pushed much more severe lockdowns that they

392
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: thought the Chinese and even Australian The Australian version was

393
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: just the lighter version of what they did in China.

394
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: But in Australia they were sending people to quarantine camps,

395
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: all idiocy. Every public health official, every doctor, every government

396
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: employe who did that should feel ashamed, but they don't.

397
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: But the Biden administration, Clay I mean, let's remember the

398
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: reason the protests really broke out, and you know what

399
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: got sparked them, if you will. In this case, the

400
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: reason that these protests are happening is that they've been

401
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: under lockdown for months. COVID is at a all time

402
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: high in some regions of China in terms of cases,

403
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: and they just had ten people burned to death in

404
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: a quarantined building effectively quarantined in Shinjiang Province in the

405
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: west of China. They weren't allowed to leave the building.

406
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: There are reports it was oh, your buildings on fire,

407
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: stay in the building. And when that sort of thing happens,

408
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: people have to wake up, no matter how dense the

409
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: propaganda has been. And in that environment, here is what

410
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: the Biden Do you see this what the Biden White

411
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: House put out. Yeah, it's tepid and flacid and weak,

412
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: like we would expect from them. We've said, this is

413
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: the Biden White House that zero COVID is not a

414
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: policy weur sue here in the United States. And as

415
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: we've said, we think it's going to be very difficult

416
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: for the People's Republic of China to be able to

417
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: contain this virus through their zero COVID strategy for US.

418
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: We are focused on what works, and that means using

419
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: the public health tools like YadA, YadA, YadA, that's the

420
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: best they can do. China is a giant look, you know,

421
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: it's a giant virus concentration camp. Effectively right now in

422
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: some parts of it, they're just hurting people into homes.

423
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: If you leave, you go to prison and perhaps worse.

424
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: And the best the bidendministration can do is, well, that's

425
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: not what we're doing here. It's almost like Biden doth

426
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: protest too much, like, well, yeah, we know you're not

427
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: doing that here, but you kind of want to, don't you. Yeah.

428
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: And let's remember doctor Fauci said earlier this year that

429
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: he was in favor of what China had done for

430
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: their renewed lockdowns. This is a flashback. Listen to Fauci

431
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: praised China. This is cut to their complete lockdown, which

432
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: was their approach, the strictest lockdown that you'd never be

433
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: able to implement in the United States, although that prevents

434
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: the spread of infection. And remember early on they were saying,

435
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: and I think accurately, that they were doing better than

436
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: almost anybody else. But lockdown has its consequences. You use

437
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: lockdowns to get people vaccinated so that when you open up,

438
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: you won't have a surge of infections. The problem is

439
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: that the vaccines that they've been using are not nearly

440
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: as effective as the vaccines that are used in the

441
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: United States, the UK, EU and other places. That's not

442
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: even true. By the way, yes, side note how much

443
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: better is our vaccine than there's clay? Well, ours doesn't work,

444
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: so not that much better. And also let's note what

445
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Fauci is doing there. He's changing the rationale for lockdowns.

446
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: We locked down. People forget this, but it was fifteen

447
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: days to stop the spread. The idea was you were

448
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: going to keep if if you can get take yourself

449
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: back so far into the past, you remember the initial

450
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: rationales because they change the storyline so much in every aspect.

451
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: Fifteen days to stop the spread, if I'm remembering correctly,

452
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: Buck was only about keeping our hospitals from getting overwhelmed. Yeah,

453
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: that was the pitch that they made, was we have

454
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: to do this because otherwise we won't be able to

455
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: serve everyone. You know how in some of these true

456
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: crime shows and other things, they'll talk about instances where

457
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: they'll show that somebody at gunpoint or whatever it may be,

458
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: got into the trunk of the car. And anybody will

459
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: tell you any law enforced and refresh. Anybody will tell

460
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: you the moment they say, get in the trunk of

461
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: the car, it's go time. You know, if you have

462
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: to take a bullet in the shoulder, if you know

463
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't matter. You never get in the

464
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: trunk because then you are utterly helpless and they may

465
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 1: just leave you in the tri nuts. It's horrible, right,

466
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: but you just you never get in the trunk. Fifteen

467
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: days to low the spread was the American people getting

468
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: in the trunk. Then the Fauchi I'd apparatus had us.

469
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: We were at their whim. We had already given in.

470
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: They could extend it. They could drive us to a

471
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: second location and a third location. They could do whatever

472
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: they wanted to us. And that's why they sold it

473
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: under those false pretenses. They never really I don't believe

474
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: that Faucian Burks really thought it was ever going to

475
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: be fifteen days. The more I thought about this, it

476
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: was just come on, just this one time, you can

477
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: trust me, Just get in the trunk. I promise, I

478
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt you. We got in the trunk.

479
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: It was the wrong move and I fell for it too.

480
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: And so far as I figured, look, fifteen days, they

481
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: say the hospitals are all going to be overrun. As

482
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: soon as we had the data that showed that hospitals

483
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: were never overrun. This was never a thing that even happened,

484
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: not once, not once. And Buck, you were in New

485
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: York at the time, I obviously was here in Nashville.

486
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: So many people. That is the biggest flaw of the

487
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: Trump administration. Okay, if you want to go back, and

488
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: I and Buck did, and we all agree that Trump

489
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: did a lot of really good things for this country

490
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: in four years. His acquiescence, his willingness to go along

491
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: with fifteen days to stop the spread essentially put in

492
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: place the lockdown apparatus that never really left in many

493
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: parts of the country for years. And I saw the

494
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: other day where Gavin Newsom. Did you see this tweet

495
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: from Gavin Newsom? Because I increasing I know he said

496
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: he's not going to run in twenty twenty four. I

497
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: was going to bring that up a little bit later. Yeah,

498
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: well we'll talk about that. But I saw this tweet

499
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: from Gavin Newsom, and I just I mean, I didn't

500
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: respond to it, but I have it in my drafts.

501
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom said that the Republican version of freedom banned books,

502
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: limit speech, live in fear of gun violence, take away

503
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: your healthcare decisions. Gavin Newsom arrested people for paddleboarding in

504
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: the ocean buck. He removed rims from basketball goals, put

505
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: crime scene tape up on playgrounds, and filled in skate

506
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: parks with sand I just hit reply. Finally, I remember

507
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: that I had saved that in drafts. But there's been

508
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: no reckoning. And when we come back I want to

509
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: play the audio maybe a little bit later in this hour,

510
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: because we can need to. I think this is so significant.

511
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: Fauci was doing his continued media availability. Hopefully he's going

512
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: to ride off into the sunset somewhere, and I would

513
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: be happy if that could happen, literally, by the way,

514
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: because he's not going to go to jail probably, but

515
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: that's where he belongs. But if Fauci and all of

516
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: the Fauciites are refusing to acknowledge that they got anything wrong,

517
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: there's no reckoning. But more importantly, it means they still

518
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: are empowered to potentially try this again if another variant

519
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: of COVID, or of course they're still talking about this again.

520
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: People forget in the early days. I remember this in

521
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: New York City because nobody was in their cars. There

522
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: was a little bit of talk of wow, imagine if

523
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: we did these lockdowns for climate. I remember people were

524
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: talking about that. That wasn't some crazy theoretical as Oh,

525
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: imagine if we could all unite to save the world

526
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: from climate. They're not done with this. And by the way,

527
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: on the Gavin Newsom thing, it really is like he

528
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: read nineteen eighty four and took all the wrong lessons

529
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: from it, or maybe all the right lessons because he

530
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: just wants to be a tyrant. Freedom is slavery, war

531
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: is peace, piece is war. I'm flipping things around. California

532
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: is the totalitarian nanny state future of America. If the

533
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: Libs are not held in check and he acts like

534
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: their pro freedom, it's complete. It's completely insane. And COVID

535
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: is just one, just one example of this. Let's call

536
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: us come back. We'll do Fauci on opening up schools

537
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: and whether they should. You know, he's not saying too

538
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: much about too much, you know, Clay he's kind of

539
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: leaving it. Let's keep it his options open. He's also

540
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: going to be on CNN and MSNBC, probably CBS News

541
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: as a contributor one of them after he leaves. Guaranteed

542
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: they're not done with Note the little Fauci doll. It's

543
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: not too late, my friends, to get a better deal

Speaker 1: make the switch to Pure Talk Truth seeking, reality telling

566
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We had now

567
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: great State of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmidt there. He

568
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: will soon be the next Senator from the state of Missouri.

569
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: We appreciate him spending time with us and Eric, you

570
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: soon to be senator. Current Attorney General got doctor Fauci

571
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: for a seven hour deposition. Now I have read some

572
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: of the coverage of this deposition. It appears that Fauci

573
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: couldn't recall any details, said he didn't remember very frequently.

574
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: How would you assess the seven hour deposition? What did

575
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: you learn? What did you think of Fauci? Take us

576
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: into that experience. Yeah, so, I guess the best way

577
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: to describe it is for somebody who proclaimed that, you know,

578
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: I am the science. You know, his middle name was

579
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't recall that probably be the best way to

580
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: describe it. So a lot of for somebody who you know,

581
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: the seminal moment of his career where you know he

582
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 1: sort of ushered in this COVID tyranny. There's a lot

583
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: of things that he didn't quite recall, but there were

584
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: some really interesting I think things to unpacked from the deposition.

585
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: One if you start with the sort of the outbreak, right,

586
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: and when people start to learn about this, he becomes

587
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: aware of it. I think he's very sensitive to gain

588
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: a function research. There's not supposed to be gain a

589
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: functional research. People were kind of pulling away from that,

590
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: but certainly gain a functional research was being funded by

591
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: nih at the Wuhan Lab, right, and so almost immediately

592
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: they go into spend mode to discredit that. So he

593
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: on February first, for example, February of twenty twenties, kind

594
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: of the big month where they move very quickly to

595
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: discredit the lab league theory, even though there's a lot

596
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: of evidence suggest that that's actually what happened, that this

597
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 1: didn't come from some animal reservoir. But he saw at

598
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: least five drafts, five drafts of a study that seeks

599
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: to debunk it. Acted like he was sort of unaware

600
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: of it, not a part of this process. But he's

601
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: on podcasts in February calling a conspiracy theory. He's already

602
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: kind of poisoning the well of the lab League theory.

603
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: And you can only surmise, right, because he knew that

604
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: this would come back on him. And it couldn't have

605
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: been the lab league theory because we were funding gain

606
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: a function research. And it's also very clear that the

607
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: Wuhan Lab didn't have the proper security protocols to be

608
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 1: doing this, and as I think, another reason why they

609
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: would have sought to dismiss the lab League theory as

610
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory, and then of course leads into the

611
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, the reason why we've got the deposition in

612
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: the first place is we are alleging in our lawsuit

613
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: that big government was colluding with big tech to censor speech.

614
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: And that means Fauchie's office is communications team and working

615
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: with big tech platforms to d platform people to sense

616
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: her content. And that's kind of the overarching theme of

617
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: the lawsuit. But getting these facts into evidence is really important.

618
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: So you've got the lab League. He sends over one

619
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: of his chiefs and Chief Lieutenant Doctor Lane goes over

620
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: with a WHO crew in February comes back lauding, complimenting

621
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: the Chinese extreme lockdown measures. And so this is something

622
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: that Fauci supported. You see everything that's happening right now

623
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: in China. But I think it's interesting to note the

624
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: timing of all this. They were very supportive of the

625
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: most extreme kind of lockdowns you could possibly have, which,

626
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: of course were a disaster to the extent we had

627
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: him would have been even worse if we had what

628
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: was going on in China, where people locking people in

629
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: their homes. And I think one other thing to note

630
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: is on the masks. I mean, in the deposition he

631
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: is in twenty twenty, he is emailing a friend of

632
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: her of his telling her that masks are ineffective. That's

633
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, in February, March thirty first, this is confirmed

634
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: with a bunch of different studies. On April fourth, he

635
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: proclaims that masks are necessary, mandates follow lives are ruined,

636
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: and COVID cheering is born. So I think what's true

637
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: in this seven hour deposition in between the I don't recalls,

638
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: there's some really important information about what he knew about

639
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: the lab league, the steps he took to discredit that

640
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: what he knew about masks, the steps he took to

641
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: gain more power and control as the guy in the

642
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: white coat dictating to three hundred plus a million Americans

643
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: how they should live their lives. It's very concerning stuff,

644
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: but we did get some meaningful information out. Okay Agi Schmidt,

645
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what did you find about the actual collusion

646
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: on that side? If you said that's the basis for

647
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: the website colluding with social media, sorry for the lawsuit,

648
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: website colluding with social media companies, the sense or freedom

649
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: of speech? Right, what have you gotten on that front?

650
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: We were just talking about it looks like there could

651
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: be a major escalation against free speech by Apple, the

652
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: company the bubile Bmith in the midst of Elon Musk

653
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: to takeover of Twitter. What did you find when it

654
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: comes to collusion between the Biden administration and big tech

655
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: on the issue of COVID. Yeah. So, one of the

656
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: things that's interesting about this lawsuit is typically what had

657
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: happened people had filed lawsuits against the social media companies.

658
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: Those lawsuits always ended up in the Northern District of California,

659
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: never to be never to see the light of day.

660
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: Our lawsuit that we filed against the bidendministrations unique because

661
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: we're suing the government. We're suing basically the Biden administration

662
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: for colluding with the tech which is why we've been

663
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: able to you know, they're essentially outsourcing their censorship. So

664
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: there's a couple of interesting things that have come to light. One,

665
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: there were weekly censorship meetings with the Biden administration key

666
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: officials with these social media platforms, I mean weekly calls

667
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: about Buddha censor and what content is censor. There was

668
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: a special portal that the government had to go directly

669
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: to Twitter and Facebook. There's a high ranking Facebook official

670
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: that was text messaging the Surgeon General of the United

671
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: States saying, Hey, we did what you wanted us to do.

672
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: What more can we do? The censor speech. This all

673
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of came to light. We foiled this lawsuit in May,

674
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: around the time, you know, this Ministry of Truth Is

675
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: Orwellian effort was kind of becoming more known. But there's

676
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: a lot of information out there that we've discovered through

677
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: the written discovery in this lawsuit of what they've actually done.

678
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: And here with Fauci in particular, his communications team his

679
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: office is working directly with Instagram and Twitter to take

680
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: down accounts. Now, whatever you think about social media platforms

681
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: being able to do that our own I mean, that's

682
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: highly suspicious in the first place. But one thing we

683
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: know for certain, the government can't do that, right The

684
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: First Amendment protected the government from you know, outsourcing this

685
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: what would normally be illegal to private companies, and that's

686
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: exactly what was happening. That's what we're uncovering the lawsuit,

687
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: and that's what led us to the deposition of anti Ethougi.

688
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: Where does this go? So, I'm glad that you filed

689
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: the lawsuit. You're moving to the Senate soon, so you

690
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: have a seven hour deposition with Anthony Fauci. Buck and

691
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: I have been covering this for years. We have zeroed

692
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: out that there's been massive colluding, just based on our

693
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: own experience, but also in the backgrounds and the stories

694
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: and the people we've talked to. Massive collusion since COVID

695
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: started between big tech and big government. Not to mention,

696
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's in office, probably because of that collusion, not

697
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: allowing the Hunter Biden laptop story from The New York

698
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: Post to be spread. In October of twenty twenty. Where

699
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: does this all go. What's the outcome that to you

700
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 1: would be an ideal one. What's an outcome that would

701
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: be a good one for people out there listening to

702
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: us right now? What should they anticipate could come from

703
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: this lawsuit? Well, preventative measures to make sure this never

704
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: happens again. One, an injunction to make it stop in two.

705
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: It could be like when we filed the Remain of

706
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: Mexico lawsuit, guys, and that was so all those reports about,

707
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, the number of illegal immigrants coming in seeking asylum.

708
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: That information only became in public because of our loss

709
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: at the injunction that we got. It's forced them to

710
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: actually come clean and be more transparent. That's one thing

711
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: that could come of all this. It's interesting that you mentioned,

712
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: by the way, the Hunter Biden laptop story. Our next

713
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: big deposition is with the FBI agent who is bragged

714
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: about working with social media platforms on the Hunter Biden

715
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: laptop story. So that's the next piece to this. So

716
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: at a minimum here, I think exposing all of this

717
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: is should be shocking. And I don't care what you're

718
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm obviously a conservative Republican, but whatever your

719
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: political stripe is this ought to scare that the Jesus

720
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: out of everybody in this country, everybody in this country,

721
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: that these kind of tactics are being used by the

722
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: government to work with some of the biggest companies on

723
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: the planet to make sure your voice has never heard.

724
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean that is, you know, we're uncovering and I

725
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: think get resolution here, we're talking to it. Missouri Attorney

726
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: General Eric Schmidt, soon to be a Senator from Missouri.

727
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: I'm reading Julie Kelly, who is a friend of the show.

728
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: She's been on with us a lot. She tweeted about

729
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: five hours ago, and this is a quote from a report.

730
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: The court reporter transcribing the deposition sneezed. Fauci stopped the deposition,

731
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: scolded the court reporter, what's wrong with you? Do you

732
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: have some sort of respiratory illness? Because in the era

733
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: of COVID, I'm concerned about being near you. Did that happen?

734
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: I should have led with that, because it's actually unbelievable.

735
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: He wanted the court reporter to wear a mask because

736
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: she sneezed. She said that she had allergies, and if

737
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: you think about that, guys, the mentality in November of

738
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, that somebody would sneeze and a person

739
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: in his position would want them to wear a mask.

740
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: That person who has that kind of disposition was in

741
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: charge of shutting down our schools and forcing kids to

742
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: wear a mask. I mean, it was very revealing. It

743
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: was almost like an out of body experience to watch

744
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: this happening in that room. But that's absolutely true. It

745
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: did happen. I tweeted about it, I think on Friday

746
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: or Saturday, and it just goes to show I think mentality.

747
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: And like I said, all of this covid cherity was

748
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: born from these folks who basically knew what happened to

749
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: do hu Lab. They knew masks didn't work, but they

750
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: stood out there because they wanted more and more powering

751
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: control in it devastated livelihoods and lives along the way.

752
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,799

782
00:42:50,040 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: they're breathing sanity into an insane world. When you see

783
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: this newspaper headline opening the gates of Hell, that might

784
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: be a subtle clue that you're not getting an unbiased report.

785
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: But that's how the latest decision by Elon Musk is

786
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: described in a Washington Post news story with that quote

787
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: from a Harvard instructor who also says Apple and Google

788
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: should consider booting Twitter off the app store. Pluck for

789
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: the headline, Elon must made clear from the start he's

790
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: a free speech advocate who would end permanent bands in

791
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: most cases, and most journalists preferred the old rules, which

792
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: usually penalize conservatives. Now, Musk is fair grading for criticism,

793
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: But how about a token effort to include a couple

794
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: of voices who don't think he's taking us all to hell?

795
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: Howie Kurtz just calling it like it is on the

796
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: Twitter situation. Welcome back to Clay Vaca. I think this

797
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: is really important. What you're seeing right now is the

798
00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: first time from the flotilla of lib propic and online

799
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: one ship has finally switched its flag, and not even

800
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: to the right. It's just neutral, if you will, to

801
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: free speech. And Clay he laid out something. There are

802
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: already some rumors about this where Apple may decide. Apple

803
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: has already pulled We talked about this, and Elon Musk

804
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: has called them out, pulled advertising from Twitter. So the

805
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: Twitter that was willing to allow the Iranian Mullahs to

806
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: have their accounts, you know, Hamas could keep its account,

807
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: Taliban can get that was all okay, but you know

808
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: Alex Barrenson, Jordan Peterson and former President Trump. That's where

809
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: Apple draws the line when it comes to advertising. But

810
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: the notion that they may try to do to Twitter

811
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: what they did to Parlor was raised here. Now that

812
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: Elon has bought this for forty four billion dollars and

813
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: seems to be there's no reason for him not to

814
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: see through the mission, right, I mean, why take on

815
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: the headache if you're not going to really do this. Clay,

816
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: they mentioned blocking Twitter from the app store. Now what

817
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: you're seeing, you know, you kind of you know, you know,

818
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: when you're your brain down a cartel, you find, you know,

819
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: first you got this street dealer, and then you find

820
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: the regional distributor. And then you go back and maybe

821
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: you find the mule that brought it to the regional distributor.

822
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: And then you find and you go all the way

823
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: up to you know, the Don Corleone, the scarface, the

824
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: head of the criminal organization, the head of the cartel,

825
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: who is the little of the guy. He's kind of

826
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: a little guy, El Chapo. You know, you go find

827
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: El Chapou. This is similar in this case. We're working

828
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 1: our way up through the architecture of propaganda and control

829
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: online for the left. What you're finding is that even

830
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: if you take the Twitter piece out, what stands above

831
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: Twitter in the digital hierarchy of the left Apple Well,

832
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: this is why they control the infrastructure and the architecture.

833
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: This is why what happened to Trump was so important

834
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: in terms of him being shut down simultaneously by every

835
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: social media company, but also what happened to Parlor, because

836
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: when they shut down Parlor, and when they shut down

837
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: the ability for many different quote unquote right wing companies

838
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: to be able to even reach their audiences. That was

839
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: a test basically of the structure that they had built

840
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: that would disallow anyone who might share an opinion that

841
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: they don't like to even be able to have those

842
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: opinions distributed. And what's fascinating to me about Elon is

843
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: he is creating I think this is a calculated choice

844
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: by him to be tweeting about Apple pulling their advertising.

845
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: He's creating a big tech battle because a lot of

846
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: these copies that are big tech. You know what they did, Buck,

847
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: They kind of avoided competing right Google had its lane,

848
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: Apple has its lane, and they may not be best friends,

849
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: but they're really not competing. They have their own monopoly.

850
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: If you go on right now you're a laptop or

851
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: your computer screen, Google basically owns search. If you use

852
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: a iPhone or a I should say mobile phone, but

853
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: the fact that the iPhone is branded to such an extent.

854
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: Who's a competitor of Apple right now? Buck, like in

855
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: a real way Google, Android, I guess maybe there's not

856
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: really a brand that is in any way really big

857
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: competitors with Apple. I would argue, if you look at

858
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: what happened with Kanye West with his shoe being pulled

859
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: from Adidas. If you look at the way that Apple's behaving,

860
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: there is a recipe and a market right now for

861
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: a right wing version of Apple. And what Elon Musk

862
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: is trying to do is go right down the middle

863
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: with Twitter. And what he's learning Buck is if you

864
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: go right down the middle, that's considered right wing. Now

865
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: you have to be so far left wing in order

866
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: to be firmly in the left wing camp. Now, whether

867
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: it's Hollywood, whether it's Attach, all these companies that if

868
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: you just say, hey, we're going to go right down

869
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 1: the middle and apply even standards, that's not permissible. How

870
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: did we get to a point in American society where

871
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: the most powerful companies and the companies that control more

872
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: communication and flow of information than anything else on earth

873
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: would think that Jordan Peterson saying that, you know, men

874
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: should aspire to be men and masculinity isn't toxic, that

875
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: is too dangerous for society. He should not be allowed

876
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: to say that. And we could go on the list

877
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: of all kinds of people. But I keep seeing these

878
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: videos of ten year olds, eight year olds putting dollar

879
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: bills in the you know areas of you know, around

880
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: the waist band of straight of drag queens. Um, how

881
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: do you get to that? The way you get to

882
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: that point, unfortunately, is with absolute behind the scenes left

883
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: wing dominance of our communications infrastructure. You and I very

884
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: luckily exists because we have radio. We have over four

885
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty give or take radio stations, our affiliates

886
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 1: a carriers, So that's that's not subject to the whims

887
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 1: of the you know, the wokeness of the blue haired,

888
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: unhappy and vicious left wingers who are running all this stuff.

889
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: But what we're seeing, yes, it's such a great point

890
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: we should mention. iHeart covers every aspect of politics if

891
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: you want to get left wing politics, like our company,

892
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: our parent company covers everything. What you're hitting at is

893
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: there's a calculated decision to not serve certain markets and

894
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: even take the next step beyond serving that market and

895
00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,479
Speaker 1: say you're not allowed to even distribute that content, which

896
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: is the next level, and that is incredibly should be

897
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: scary to anyone out there. I mean, I imagine that

898
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: our national political conversation and people say, oh, but what

899
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: about Fox News? Oh okay, yeah, that's when you when

900
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: you if you're looking at news organizations and social media platforms.

901
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: The right, which is half the country, gets about five

902
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: percent of the pie. We're at about five percent, maybe

903
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: ten percent of the overall pie when you add because remember,

904
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: it's not just it's not just the websites you know

905
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: super well, it's all the other websites. It's all the

906
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: YouTube influencers and TikTok influencers. It's not just MSNBC and CNN,

907
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: it's PBS, it's NBC News, you go down the list.

908
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: They achieve this level of dominance, and they also have

909
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: behind the scenes the false perception of platform parody, which

910
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: has been so essential. You know, there's there's three different

911
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: forms clay of of propaganda people generally talk about. Right,

912
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: there's white propaganda, which is you know what it is,

913
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: you know where it comes from, Right, you and me

914
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,479
Speaker 1: saying we love this candidate or whatever. You could argue

915
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: that's why propaganda. But you know where it is. Gray

916
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: propaganda is when it's just of unknown origin, right they

917
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: drop leaflets out of the sky that say vote so

918
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: and so, and then what they would refer to as

919
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: black propaganda is when you're actually lying about the source

920
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: of it. Right, So I'm pretending to be someone on MSNBC,

921
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: and I'm telling people what to do. The social media platforms,

922
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: in part, have been so powerful because they've been operating

923
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: under the lie that they aren't doing what they're doing.

924
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: And this is the part of it that I think

925
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: everyone's really seeing on earth right now. Yeah you know

926
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: CNN is liberal. Yeah you know MSNBC is liberal. But

927
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: Google and Facebook and you know which obviously Google is YouTube,

928
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: all these different platforms, they became monopolists by saying we're

929
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: not doing the thing that you think we're doing. It's

930
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: insidious what they have done. And Elon is exposing them

931
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: right now, which means Clay, they're not going to let

932
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: this go. They can't. It threatens their power too much.

933
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: And I'll just say this as we go to Break

934
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: and Prefer and we're about to hit you with an

935
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: ad read. Apple and Google would not advertise on this program.

936
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, just think about it. They would. If Apple

937
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: and Google had an outreach program, they wouldn't advertise on

938
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: this program because they don't respect all of you and

939
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: your political opinions. If Bucket and Eye were doing a

940
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: left wing show, left wing version of this show, they

941
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 1: would spend money hand over fist with us at Apple

942
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: and Google to be able to reach a much smaller

943
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: audience just because they would say we respect that audience

944
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: that we were trying to talk to. If we were

945
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: on the left wing, yeah, I mean, Clay, we could

946
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: just like sit here, man and be like, yo, there

947
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: truly our thirty seven genders and real socialism has never

948
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: been tried. And maybe we just send that clip. You know, oh,

949
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: men don't have an advantage in sports, So what if

950
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: that guy six four two forty like he's sure, Maybe

951
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: we send that clip to Apple and be like, hey,

952
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: give us some advertising dollars. You just think about that.

953
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: It's a calculated decision and it's happening all over the

954
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: country and Elon Musk is disrupting that calculation. He's got

955
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: the resources to be able to fight the battle. I

956
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: don't know how it's going to turn out, but just

957
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: think about it. It's gonna be messy, and we finally

958
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: got somebody who's willing to fight that battle. To your point, Buck,

959
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: Rupert Murdoch has been. But if Rupert Murdock didn't exist,

960
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: there would not be really on both newspapers and television

961
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: media a CounterPunch to the mainstream media. It would be

962
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: without Rush, Rupert Murdoch and on a few other we

963
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: would be to the left of Canada politically. Right now,

964
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: it would already happened and the whole country would have

965
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: locked down. Think about how scary that is. The FAUCI

966
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: would have won. Small business owners are taking advantage of
