Hour 3 - Racism Record Scratch

0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome in. Hour number three.
0:06Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
0:09For those of you out there wanting the absolute latest on all the news stories,
0:14Virginia votes 51 to 49 by a roughly two -point margin to move its congressional
0:22district from 6 to 5 in favor of Democrats to 10 to 1.
0:27We have been talking quite a lot about that, including with Indiana Senator Jim Banks.
0:32We will take your calls and discuss that.
0:34Southern Poverty Law Center paying for racism, $3 million.
0:38I'm going to talk about the indictment that's being brought there.
0:41Sheridan Gorman, the young college student in Chicago, freshman, who was murdered in cold blood.
0:48Her parents have spoken out.
0:49I think you guys need to hear what she says.
0:51And Yale has done an investigation into its college and determined, guess what?
0:57Everyone who has been criticizing us was right.
1:00There are a lot of major issues in higher education.
1:04We will get into all of that in a moment.
1:07But first, the absolute latest as it pertains to Iran.
1:12This is from Axios earlier today.
1:15The Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, a .k .a.
1:21the Gayatollah, is barely communicating.
1:24The IRGC generals are in control of the country.
1:30And there is a dispute with Iran's civilian negotiators.
1:35As a result, we don't know who is actually making decisions inside of Iran.
1:41And that is why talks effectively have ended.
1:46Now, I think where this is going is there are a couple of things that
1:52that we really want at this point in time.
1:55We want the so -called nuclear dust that Iran had to be able to create
2:00nuclear weapons. And we want an open Strait of Hormuz.
2:04I think where all this is headed, just giving you a little bit of a
2:07preview, is I think we're going to unfreeze Iranian assets.
2:12And I think we're going to seize the nuclear dust.
2:15Now, I know some people out there think this is crazy.
2:18But to me, trying to figure out how this situation ends from President Trump's perspective,
2:25I think that he wants a clear line of demarcation between what happened in Iraq
2:32and what happened in Iran.
2:34And what happened in Iraq was we spent trillions of dollars and there were no
2:38weapons of mass destruction. That's the reality.
2:41We lost thousands of lives and we spent trillions of dollars.
2:44And a lot of you out there were a part of this era.
2:47And we basically got nothing for it.
2:50I think Trump wants to show a tangible outcome.
2:54And that's why I think, and this is my prediction, we can grab it.
2:57But I think the only way this is going to end is we're going to
3:01go into Iran. I think that we are going to put boots on the ground
3:06in Iran. And I think that we are going to seize the nuclear dust.
3:11Now, some of you are going to say, Clay, you're crazy about this.
3:14I think that there are elements of Iran that are fine with this.
3:18But I think that they need to be seen as not allowing it to happen.
3:25And if we just take it, then we unfreeze the Iranian assets.
3:31I think that is a resolution that's going to end up happening.
3:35To me, that's how this ends.
3:37People say, how does this end?
3:38That gives Trump a clear, direct, tangible way to declare victory.
3:45We have that nuclear dust in our possession.
3:48Unlike the WMDs from Iraq, we are able to say, here is why we went
3:54to war. This was the objective.
3:56We have obtained the objective.
3:58Iran is not going to have nuclear weapons any time in the near future now.
4:04Unlike North Korea, which Bill Clinton allowed to get nuclear weapons.
4:09And now North Korea is a hermetically sealed kingdom that nobody can access at all.
4:13And everybody's terrified of. I think Trump will say this is the opposite of what
4:17Bill Clinton did when he should have taken out North Korea.
4:20This is the opposite of what happened in Iraq with George W.
4:24Bush. I used our military productively.
4:27And we have ended up with a clear, complete conclusion.
4:30I can now declare victory.
4:33That, to me, is the most likely outcome of how this is going to play
4:38out. That's how I see it playing out.
4:41Straight up Hormuz is then opened.
4:43Iran publicly complains because they are being embarrassed.
4:47But it doesn't look like they are allowing that to happen.
4:50Behind the scenes, we have a handshake agreement that allows their assets to be unfrozen.
4:56The nuclear dust is out of the country.
4:58And Iran, we believe, would then have a leadership that we can work with better
5:03in a Delce Rodriguez -like perspective that is not dissimilar to what's going on in
5:09Venezuela. I think that would be President Trump declaring victory.
5:13Okay, so that's that take, by the way.
5:15800 -282 -2882. People can react to it.
5:18I wanted to play this, though.
5:19So that's the latest in Iran.
5:22I'm going to get into more on the...
5:24Virginia decision to decide to go super radical and completely remake their entire congressional district
5:32map. But I do want to focus a bit here, too, on the Southern Poverty
5:36Law Center paying for racism.
5:39Allegations that are out there that the Southern Poverty Law Center spent three million dollars
5:45to pay informants to produce racism so that they could raise money off the danger
5:52of racism in this country.
5:54And we have a cut.
5:56This is from the announced charges that were bought, brought by a grand jury in
6:02Alabama. And I want to play this for you.
6:05This is cut twenty nine acting attorney general Todd Blanche.
6:10He's asked, you're alleging the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying the leaders of the
6:16KKK and other groups. Cut twenty nine.
6:19Listen to this answer. I want to make sure I understand you're alleging that the
6:22Southern Poverty Law Center was paying the leaders of KKK and other groups to continue
6:28their operations. Is that I'm not alleging it.
6:31The grand jury returned an indictment that says that.
6:33And so what what the what the investigation found, according to to the indictment that
6:38was returned today, is that they were paying.
6:40So the Southern Poverty Law Center is raising money, asking folks to give them money
6:44to dismantle racism. And over a very long period of time, they were using some
6:48of the money they raised from donors to pay to they call them field, you
6:53know, basically to informants to for information, for access, to just pay them for for
6:59certain to do certain things.
7:02And so, yes, that's exactly what the indictment charges.
7:06Wow. I mean, I do think that's kind of a jaw dropping story.
7:11But why I think this is so significant is this is where racism is in
7:18the country today. In order for it to exist, we have groups on the left
7:25that are paying people to be racist so they can raise money by alleging that
7:32they have to have more money to be able to fight racism.
7:35If racism was a clear and present danger and it was occurring all the time,
7:41we wouldn't have all these fake race hoax hoaxes.
7:45The demand for racism in this country today is actually far in excess of real
7:52racism. And most of you understand and know this.
7:57And I do think this is significant.
7:59If America were a supremely racist country, would so many black and brown people be
8:07risking their lives to get here?
8:10This is a really simple question.
8:11I've never heard any Democrat answer.
8:13You say America is a fundamentally racist country.
8:16Joe Biden said white supremacy is the biggest threat to the country when he was
8:21president. He said that we were not even dealing with Jim Crow anymore.
8:26Current Republicans were more racist than the pre -civil rights era.
8:30Democrats, Democrats, ironically, or. And so now we're dealing not just with Jim Crow, but
8:35Jim Eagle and easy counter to that argument is why are so many people around
8:43the world who are black and brown skinned willing to die to get into this
8:49country? And then, of course, you can go into the actual data.
8:53And this is important. And this is important.
8:55It's facts. You know, the highest earning group in America today, Asian men.
9:03It's got a little bit of a record scratch moment because people think, oh, white
9:07guys, white men are so rich.
9:08No, no, no. The rate, the richest group, racial group in America today, Asian men.
9:17Kind of a record scratch, right?
9:19Is there yellow supremacy in the United States?
9:23Have we overwhelmingly built a country that benefits Asian men such that they're able to
9:28come in here and dominate?
9:30And then, of course, if you start to look into the data, do you recognize
9:35that, wait a minute, some of the highest earning people who are black in America
9:41are actually Nigerian immigrants? And you think, wait a minute, America's so racist that people
9:49from Nigeria can come here and immediately become super wealthy relative to people who are
9:58actually born in America? Well, that's kind of a crazy record scratch moment too, right?
10:03And so, understand this. Democrats and their allies, like the Southern Poverty Law Center and
10:11places like this, they need racism to exist exist in order to exist themselves.
10:19It is their oxygen. They can't allow it to be completely extinguished because then there's
10:26no reason for them to exist.
10:28And I just saw this stat as I was doing research during the commercial break.
10:35After Charlottesville, the Southern Poverty Law Center raised a hundred million more dollars.
10:45Charlottesville was the best thing that ever happened to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
10:53if the best thing that can happen to you is something awful, I don't think
10:59it's wrong to be skeptical that the awful thing happened.
11:03This is me being a lawyer.
11:05We talk about Jussie Smollett sometimes.
11:08When the whole Jussie Smollett thing happened, Buck and I, Buck's traveling right now, I'll
11:12be back tomorrow, the whole Jussie Smollett story, my thought was, nobody knows who Jussie
11:17Smollett is. How many diehard Donald Trump voters are watching the show Empire that Jussie
11:27Smollett was on and have any earthly idea who he is or, on top of
11:33that, know that he is gay?
11:36I don't even buy that there were that many people who knew who he was,
11:39much less that in Chicago, on the coldest night of the year, there were guys
11:45walking around with nooses and MAGA hats on waiting for him to come outside to
11:51go to Subway so they could threaten to lynch him.
11:54If the best thing that could ever happen to you is you become a victim
12:00of a hate crime, I'm skeptical that you became a victim of a hate crime.
12:08I remember when I was in college, this is a true story, we had to
12:13write creative writing stories. We had to do creative writing stories.
12:17And one of the kids in our creative writing class, we're supposed to write, like,
12:22what do we think about California?
12:23What is the world of California right?
12:26And this kid who was in the class from Pennsylvania wrote a story where he
12:31drove into California and there were just really good -looking girls on the side of
12:36the road and you could just pull over and pick them up and they would
12:39go party with you. And I remember the professor was like, you, this is 1997,
12:44he was like, wait a minute, your idea of what life is like in California
12:48is you just drive into California and you have a convertible and there are good
12:53-looking girls on the side of the street and you just pick them up and
12:55you just take them and you go to a bar and you party all day?
12:58And the guy was like, yeah, that's what I think happens in California.
13:01So that's got to be an awesome way to, a lot of you that like
13:05California right now, probably some of you are like, ah, I used to think that
13:07when I was 17 or 18 too.
13:09It's an awesome place, not so much now.
13:12The best thing in the world usually doesn't happen to you.
13:16Most of us don't win the lottery.
13:18Most of us aren't driving down the road and two beautiful girls are standing on
13:22the side of the road hitchhiking and you pick them up in your convertible and
13:25you go and have an incredible time hanging out at the bar with them and
13:29they love you and if the best thing in the world that can happen to
13:33you is for you to be a victim of a hate crime, what does it
13:36say about the world that you have created?
13:38And shouldn't we all be a little bit skeptical that the hate crime actually happened?
13:43So it's not a surprise to me that the Southern Poverty Law Center is charged
13:47under indictment from a grand jury in Alabama with using racism to try and convince
13:54the country that racism is such an ever -present danger that they need to be
13:59given hundreds of millions of dollars to stop it from happening.
14:03The Southern Poverty Law Center can't exist if racism doesn't exist.
14:11And therefore, they're going to find it everywhere because otherwise they would not exist.
14:18Take some of your calls, but I do think that indictment it's not only an
14:23indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, it's an indictment of legacy media and of
14:27the culture that they believe exists which is not in reality in existence.
14:32I want to tell you, one of the more challenging tasks all throughout Israel right
14:36now is needing more bomb shelters, needing more hospitals that have the ability, unfortunately, to
14:42need to go underground in the parking garage so that people inside of that hospital
14:48are not harmed and to continue to feed people who are desperately in need of
14:54food and support elderly people in Israel as the war has continued now for coming
15:02up on two and a half years.
15:03Right now, you can join Buck and me and give $45 right now to rush
15:08life -saving essentials to the vulnerable under fire 888 -488 -IFCJ.
15:15You can also go online and join us in donating at ifcj .org.
15:21That's ifcj .org. Pre -setter pals.
15:26Clay and Buck on the iHeart app.
15:28Welcome back in. Clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show.
15:32Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
15:33A lot of people want to weigh in on a variety of different topics out
15:38there including Iran. Let's go to Sean in Queens.
15:43What you got for us?
15:45Hey, what's up? What's going on, Clay?
15:47I gotta say, you're bugging, man.
15:49We've been down this road of giving Iran billions of dollars.
15:52That's how we got into the predicament we're in now.
15:55If we give them billions in assets, take the dust, you can't erase the technology
16:01they have already obtained. They'll just get the dust on the black market and we're
16:05back down this same road 10 years from now without Donald Trump.
16:09I think, so I don't disagree.
16:11When I say give them money, I mean unfreeze the assets that they already have.
16:17I don't mean give them new money.
16:20right? They have assets that are frozen right now in the Middle East, Europe, and
16:23the United States. Unless we eliminate this entire regime, Sean, I don't see a solution
16:30other than we're going to have to continue to monitor this for years and years
16:34into the future. So what solution would you have?
16:38The solution is Israel. Unleash the dog.
16:42Israel has no problem being the fall guy for taking out of Iran and doing
16:47all the dirt. We just need to unleash Israel and back them up and handle
16:52the business, man, at the end of the day.
16:54So you would let Israel, and I don't know that Israel wants to do this,
16:57but you would say Israel put boots on the ground and just go to town
17:02on this Iranian government? Israel has been waiting for this for 60 years.
17:09They have no problem handling the dirt right now.
17:12They will shovel the excrement that people in our country don't have the stomach to
17:17shovel. Trust and believe. They want to stay Israel.
17:20These people have been trying to wipe them out for decades.
17:24It's time to end this, Clay.
17:27Look, thank you for the call.
17:29I don't necessarily dislike the idea of Israel, we've done everything that we can.
17:36United States is out, and now it's on you if you need to do more.
17:42Other thing I would keep in mind here, and I hear very few people discussing
17:46it, Saudi Arabia wanted this to happen.
17:50UAE wanted this to happen.
17:52Qatar wanted this to happen.
17:54This idea that it's the U .S.
17:56and Israel against the Middle East, not really true at all, and so I do
18:01wonder to what extent Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries could be involved before
18:06all is said and done with some resolution here.
18:10In the meantime, I want to tell you, if you want to stay in touch
18:12with your friends and family no matter where you are around the country, you can
18:16do so with rapid radios.
18:18Look, unfortunately, we got tornado season.
18:20I saw that there's some danger of tornadoes coming through.
18:24Over the next few days, many parts of the country, you might lose power.
18:27You might lose your ability to rely on your cell phone signal.
18:31Rapid radios work with five days of charges.
18:34They will find a way to get through.
18:35They worked during the ice storm that we just had in the south.
18:39We were able to stay in touch with everybody.
18:41Thanks to rapid radios. If you want to be sure that during this tornado season,
18:46you are able to stay in touch with your friends and family nationwide, go to
18:50rapidradios .com. Code radio. Get hooked up today.
18:53Great package. Rapid radios. Code radio.
18:58Welcome back in. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
19:02We're talking about the situation with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
19:07A lot of you reacting to that.
19:08I also wanted to talk about the culture writ large.
19:11This is a story that came out from Yale University, which did a study into
19:19the culture that it had created inside of Yale.
19:23It acknowledged basically that all of the criticisms that we have made on this program
19:29about higher education in general is at Yale.
19:33Listen to this number. This kind of staggered me even with the context, knowing where
19:38it was likely to head at Yale, registered Republicans out.
19:43I'm sorry, registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 36 to one in the faculty of arts and
19:52science, the law school and the school of management 36 to one.
20:00This university, which has been obsessed with diversity, equity and inclusion, cares about everything having
20:09to do with cosmetic diversity, which is completely unimpactful because what's the point of having
20:16a lot of people who look different, but think the exact same and cared not
20:22at all for the only thing I would argue that should matter when it comes
20:27to education, which is diversity of thought challenging your mind when you're 18, 19, 20,
20:3421 years old, making you grapple with tough questions, making you consider a variety of
20:40perspectives. 36 to one. This is according to Yale's own study.
20:46And it's a takeover that has led to real consequences.
20:50The percentage of undergrads who didn't feel comfortable expressing their political beliefs on campus doubled
20:58between 2015 and 2025 on campus.
21:03Now, look, I'm sure it wasn't a great place in 2015, but by 2025, even
21:09people at Yale were saying, yes, this is broken.
21:12And oh, by the way, I also think this is significant as they have been
21:16completely erasing any sort of viewpoint diversity.
21:21They've also been effectively doing away with grades.
21:25I thought this was pretty wild.
21:28Um, 79, this is 2022 and 2023, 79, 79 % of all grades were A's
21:37or A minuses in all Yale classes, 79%, 79 % got an A or an
21:46A minus. You might say, Okay, well, how does that compare to past people who
21:49go to Yale? They tend to be pretty smart.
21:531963, only 10 % of all grades were A's or A -minuses.
22:00That's pretty staggering. Now, reportedly, and some of you may remember this, grade inflation really
22:07took off during the Vietnam War because you had to have a certain GPA in
22:13colleges, I believe this is true, many of them, to be able to stay enrolled
22:18in college. And a lot of professors felt if they didn't give their kids good
22:22grades, they were sending the men, the young boys, kids in their classes, off to
22:29the war. And so they started grade inflation, and that took off in the 60s.
22:34But it's really skyrocketed since the early 2000s and into the 2020s because I think
22:41what's happened is they don't want anybody to get a low grade.
22:45And grade inflation now exists everywhere.
22:47I mean, if you've got kids or grandkids, the average GPA now is basically an
22:54A. You used to have to work to have a decent GPA.
22:58Now they just give them away.
22:59But I thought that was pretty staggering that Yale, one of our top, in theory,
23:04academic institutions in the country, 80%, only 20 % of people basically get below an
23:10A -minus in a Yale class.
23:12And they probably don't give hardly any Cs.
23:15That would be my guess.
23:16But I did think all of this is kind of connected.
23:19And there was another clip that I wanted to make sure that I played.
23:22I believe we have this, guys.
23:25I think we have the Sheridan Gorman, who is the unfortunate freshman in college.
23:34I believe she was at Loyola University in Chicago, if I'm not mistaken.
23:40Her family is finally speaking out.
23:43And if you remember, unfortunately, well, I'll let them tell you the story of what
23:50happened to their daughter. This is in Chicago, busy area, center part of the city,
23:56cut 13. Listen, imagine if you raised a beautiful daughter, you sent her off to
24:02college, she had barely been on campus at all, murdered by an illegal immigrant in
24:07Chicago. How would you feel?
24:10Listen to these parents. This is from CBS News, cut 13.
24:14No one should have to deal with the police coming to your door at 6
24:17a .m., falling to your knees when you hear the news that no parent should
24:21ever hear. There's nothing that prepares you for going to the medical examiner's office and
24:29filling out the paperwork. Your hand is trembling.
24:32And then you have to go identify your daughter's body.
24:36And they ask you if you're ready, and nothing makes you ready for that.
24:41On March 19th, Gorman and her friends went to catch a glimpse of the northern
24:45lights on Lake Michigan at around 1 .30 a .m.
24:48They were just about a block and a half from campus.
24:51But as Gorman reached the end of this pier, she encountered a mass gunman.
24:55He, like, moved towards her threateningly.
24:57She turned around and she warned her friends that there was a man with a
25:00gun and you need to run.
25:01And then they ran. She ran.
25:03She made it like 40 feet.
25:05But she made it like 40 feet and he shot her in the back.
25:08Came out her neck. She saved her friends.
25:12I don't know. Presumably. I mean, we heard that.
25:14They say it was a senseless tragedy.
25:16It wasn't. It was a murder.
25:17It was a preventable murder.
25:20Okay, I'm going to play another cut, but I just want you to think about
25:23that for a minute. Mom and dad send their daughter off to college in Chicago
25:28with her friends. She goes to watch the northern lights over Lake Michigan late at
25:36night, a block and a half off campus, and a guy who had already been
25:40arrested that was illegally in this country shot and killed her.
25:45She was running away from him.
25:47He shot her in the back.
25:51Can you imagine what that would be like?
25:55I'm a parent of three.
25:57A huge majority of you listening right now have boys, girls, grandsons, granddaughters.
26:03Can you imagine if that happened to your family?
26:06You would never recover from that for the rest of your life.
26:10It should have never happened.
26:14She should have gone on, graduated from college, got married, had kids.
26:22The city of Chicago failed her.
26:24The state of Illinois failed her.
26:27The United States writ large all failed her.
26:31We let a killer stay in this country who should have never been here, and
26:35he victimized her. And this is what their parents are having to speak out about.
26:41They had to go identify their daughter's body in a morgue because we weren't willing
26:46to do what was necessary to keep her safe.
26:49That is inexcusable. They continued.
26:54Cut 14. Lawyer said he had the mental capacity of a child.
26:57He had the mental capacity and the wherewithal to buy a gun, to have a
27:00mask on, and to be waiting.
27:02The mask was on, and he had a gun pointed at my daughter when she
27:06passed out. A child does not do that.
27:08A man does not. Shoot a retreating child in the back.
27:12The Department of Homeland Security says Medina was first.
27:15apprehended by U .S. Border Patrol in May of 2023 and released into the country
27:20under the Biden administration. And just over a month later, they say he was caught
27:24shoplifting in Chicago, arrested and released again.
27:28An arrest warrant was issued after he didn't show up for court.
27:31Tell me about the policies that you think made this happen.
27:35Honestly, we're really still trying to explore that.
27:37Clearly, there needs to be some cooperation between state and local government and federal officials.
27:43When someone commits a crime and they've been here illegally, there needs to be cooperation.
27:49He was arrested for, yes, a nonviolent crime, but he also was here illegally.
27:56In our mind, he should have been handed over to the feds at that point.
28:00He's 100 % right. This is not a difficult call.
28:07We know what makes people safer.
28:10It's putting bad guys in jail.
28:13And if it makes people uncomfortable, we need to call them out and we need
28:20to hold them accountable. I saw an argument the other day and I thought it
28:26was an interesting one. Some of you have experienced this.
28:31They said, and this is true, if you are a bartender, you know, 18, 19,
28:3820 years old and you are working in a restaurant and you over serve someone,
28:46you can see that they're drunk.
28:49You continue to give them alcohol and then they get in their car and they
28:55kill someone. The bartender can be held accountable.
29:01There are a lot of you out there saying, hey, you know what?
29:03I can see the logic why that would make sense.
29:07If somebody is visibly intoxicated and you get them drunker and drunker and then they
29:12go out on the road and they engage in an act that kills someone else,
29:16even though you directly didn't cause it, meaning you weren't involved in the actual direct
29:21accident, you precipitated it because you knew you had someone who shouldn't have been served.
29:28They were a danger to the community and you kept serving them and then they
29:33went and engaged in an act that made someone in the community a victim.
29:39Why don't we hold judges to the same standard?
29:45And I said, you know what?
29:46This is a really good debate that we should be having.
29:49We have more stringent standards on bartenders in America than we do judges when it
29:57comes to behavior that helps to facilitate the completion and continuation of crimes.
30:02If you are a judge and somebody has been arrested multiple times for violent acts
30:10and then you put them back out on the street, why don't you get impeached
30:15and removed from office? Do you know how quickly if judges were held accountable for
30:22putting violent criminals back on the streets, do you know how quickly judges would change
30:28their behavior and keep violent criminals behind bars?
30:33In order to be a judge, you typically have to have a law degree.
30:38You have to be highly educated.
30:40You have to pass a bar exam.
30:42You have to be of above average intelligence typically to be a judge.
30:49The standard to be a judge is way higher than the standard to be a
30:53bartender. Why do we hold bartenders more accountable for what they do at their jobs
31:00than we do judges? I think it's a really good question.
31:06Because in general, the higher your level of education, the higher of standard of behavior
31:13we expect from you. I really do think if we talk about, look, I'm a
31:22lawyer. I wish that we could all just agree, hey, if you commit violent crimes,
31:27we're going to lock you up and throw away the key because the evidence reflects
31:31that when we do that, crime rates go down.
31:34But also if we've got judges who are making decisions like what happened with Sheridan
31:41Gorman, and if we have politicians that are facilitating this too, why do we have
31:46higher standards for bartenders than we do politicians and judges?
31:51Shouldn't that be reversed? Shouldn't we have higher standards for judges and politicians, for lawyers,
31:59than we do for bartenders?
32:03I've heard hardly anybody ever make this argument.
32:08But I do think it's pretty intriguing because I bet most of you agree, hey,
32:11if a bartender keeps serving a super drunk person, then they should be liable, potentially
32:16criminally, certainly civilly, for what the over -served drunk person does.
32:25And yet, when I hear that Sheridan Gorman's story, the dad of me is just
32:30in disbelief that somehow we have created a world where this could ever happen.
32:35Where a 19 -year -old girl, 18 -year -old even, I don't know exactly how
32:40old she was. She was a freshman in college.
32:42She was a freshman in college.
32:43Sides with her girlfriends in the dorm to go outside and look at the northern
32:47lights on Lake Michigan and gets murdered in cold blood by a guy who never
32:52should have been there. And they're barely going to talk about her at all on
32:57MSNBC or the New York Times or the Washington Post or CNN.
33:04And her life mattered. I think it mattered a lot.
33:07And I kind of wish when we saw murders, we would treat them like we
33:12do airplane accidents. You know, when an airplane accident happens, we go back and we
33:18reconstruct every single thing that happened.
33:22And we pinpoint it, the FAA does, deep investigation, to try to ensure that it
33:28never happens again. Shouldn't we do that with murders?
33:35Every time there's a murder, shouldn't we say, this is unacceptable.
33:39Let's go back and look at every single incident that happened, just like we do
33:45when a plane crash happens, and figure out how we ensure that this never happens
33:50to anyone else again because lives matter.
33:54And the job of a government should be to have as many people live safely
34:00for as long as we possibly can.
34:03This seems like basic common sense to me.
34:06All right. I want to tell you, I've got, I just talked about my boys.
34:10I've got an 18 -year -old, 15 -year -old, and 11 -year -old.
34:13Two oldest boys, we stay in touch with them on Pure Talk.

35:22All right. Callers been waiting.
35:24You each get 30 seconds.
35:26If you go over, you're screwing your fellow callers, and not in a good way.
35:31Mark in Chesapeake, Virginia. Fire away.
35:35Hey. I just wanted to say that I voted no yesterday.
35:38And I wanted to remind the people of Virginia that legislative dictatorship is no better
35:45than executive tyranny. And that's what we're going to have in Virginia if this is
35:49not overturned. Thank you. Well said.
35:52Very well done. Clint in southern Utah.
35:56Clay, you're right on on the nuclear dust.
35:58But put that aside for a second.
35:59The biggest stress on the world and the biggest threat to our midterm elections coming
36:04up is the price of oil, which is controlled by the straits.
36:07And I know we have blockades in the straits.
36:09But we should have 20 warships in there and annihilate the entire coastline, which is
36:14the threat on all of those cargo ships right now.
36:17We have drones going in and scanning anything.
36:19Anything bigger than a mouse gets a missile.
36:22Eliminate that coastline threat. That ought to be a focus because it has the potential
36:26biggest damage to our midterms and to the world, quite honestly.
36:30Thank you. All right. Leonard in Danville, Virginia.
36:35Good job so far. You get the final word.
36:38Hey, Clay. I apologize to everybody in America for the people of Virginia who were
36:43stupid enough to vote for this gerrymandering.
36:46Our governor wants to turn this into a gun control state.
36:50She wants to turn it into a let the illegal immigrants have a sanctuary state.
36:56She's awful. We agree. Thanks, y 'all.
