Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everybody. Friday edition of Clay and Buck kicks
off now our man play out for the day on Roots. Actually,
I believe he's already landing in Israel. He'll be coming
to us live from Israel next week and I'll be
here stateside, so having a conversation halfway around the world
(00:20):
with our buddy Clay. He'll be bringing us bround truth
about what's going on over there with Israel surrounded by
enemies like Hamas and Hesblaw, though it has taken the
fight to them as we know over the last year,
and the situation on the ground has improved in terms
of Israeli security dramatically. So we'll be discussing that next week. Today,
(00:41):
though really the whole focus is going to be on
what's happening here at home. Some updates on the assassination
of the United Healthcare CEO. This has turned into an
internet sleuthing phenomenon. Everyone trying to figure out, based on
the photo release, based on the city bike path of
(01:02):
his escape, who this guy is. Are they ever gonna
catch him? Is he a professional or not? These are
all conversations that are ongoing. We will get into some
of this mayor Eric Adams. A lot of New York
on my mind right now. Mayor Eric Adams seems to
leave open the possibility that he's gonna be willing to
(01:26):
work with Republicans a whole lot more than anybody anticipated
in this incoming administration. I see, I'm telling you, Once
the Feds are set on you by Democrats for partisan reasons,
all of a sudden, Republicans still look so scary, right,
all of a sudden, the incoming Trump administration looks like
(01:47):
there somebody might want to extend a hand to I
think this opportunity from Mayor Eric Adams for Trump, or
maybe the opportunity from Trump to Mayor Eric Adams could
be fortune for America's largest city, in my hometown of
many decades. So we will dive into some of what
(02:07):
he says there. A little sad for those of us
who enjoy looking at the firearms reviews and the steak
cooking tips on TikTok, A federal judge has now ruled
that a ban or sale law of TikTok is able
to go through. So the appeals court upheld a nationwide
(02:31):
ban or sale law for TikTok. Look as long as
TikTok stays. I think that's a good thing. I think
that Trump administration is going to be in a position
to both cut off the threats of Chinese spying through
the app, but also let's put some pressure on TikTok
to be a transparent and free speech platform. No, none
(02:52):
of this fraudulent democrat activist stuff of oh, we just
have a terms in service, but we can't tell you
anything about what's really going on, because as we know,
the power of these social media platforms is massive. I
think we might have had a very different election. I
don't know what it would have meant, but I think
things would have been very different, certainly in the coverage
(03:13):
of this last election, if you did not have x
Elon Musk's X formerly Twitter as a true free speech platform.
Because they could not suppress, they could not shut down,
and once the information's out there reaches critical mass on
x it ends up being something you'll see covered by
other news organizations. They can't just ignore it, they can't
(03:36):
just suppress it, so it has a huge impact on
the political and cultural conversation. So we'll discuss that. I
also think we are likely to see a verdict in
the Daniel Penny case. Today, the Daniel Penny case has
been taken to the jury. The jury is currently in
(03:59):
the process of deciding Daniel Penny's fate. They are deadlocked.
And so here's what I know about this so far.
There's it's a little bit confusing. I was trying to
look this up, speak to some legal expert friends of
mine get a sense as to there's really two variations
(04:21):
of manslaughter that are at issue here. The top count
is a reckless manslaughter count, and this very state to state,
and the language the way the statutes are crafted varies
state to state. But there's also the lesser count of
(04:42):
a involuntary manslaughter effectively, right, that's so, and you can say, well,
reckless manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter out of these things. You have
to get pretty deep into the statue to see the
legal distinction, the distinction in terms of a sentence, and
could be very seriou uh. And and that assumes that
(05:03):
he's found guilty on either of them. My concern here
has been and I know we had Uncle Bill, we
had Bill O'Reilly with us, and he's confident nearly I mean,
I'm sorry a penny. Rather, he's confident Penny is going
to get off. Jordan nearly was the individual who lost
his life in this exchange, who was who was killed
when h or Or died as a result of it
(05:24):
is true that he was alive when police arrived to
revive him, which I think has not gotten nearly enough
attention and news coverage. So you know, he had a pulse,
he was breathing when the police got there, and so
there's there's been a lot of of back and forth
between the Penny team and the prosecution over really was
(05:48):
what was was the cause of death solely the application
of force around the neck or the fact that he
was a I believe a schizophrenic and was already had
serious health issues and was going into a panic and
then also with the force. Anyway, this this jury is
going to be making a big decision here, and I
think they'll be making it today and probably while we're
(06:10):
on air, so we will follow that very closely. And
I just think that no matter what happens here, the
reason that there's such a focus, whether there's a not
guilty verdict or a guilty verdict that comes out of
the Penny case, the reason that there's such a focus on.
It is that there really was a period of time
(06:33):
a terror in this country and it was led by
these ideological democrat often in fact back by George Soros organizations,
so they are Soros prosecutors. This was the case in
San Francisco, in Philadelphia, in New York. You know, you
(06:53):
go down list in LA. I mean, all these major cities,
in Chicago, all these major cities have these prosecutors who
who are who are funded by and supported by the
most radical left wing, really fundamentally Marxist and racial Marxist
entities in this country who decided that we just need
(07:16):
to have more crime to achieve more social justice because
the people who disproportionately commit crimes are non white. Therefore
we have to change the way that prosecutions happen, less
people in prison. In fact, the ultimate goal, as you know,
and you can find this, they won't talk about it
that much. They ran with the defund police thing for
(07:37):
a while because that gave them some wiggle room. What
does defund mean, Well, it doesn't mean gone entirely, but
that really would be the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal
on prisons is abolished prisons, which sounds insane because it is,
but that is what they would like to see. These
radical left criminal justice reformers do not believe that those
who commit crimes should be incarceration, and they talk about
(08:01):
things like restorative justice anybody, which is an absurdity. I
might add, anybody who has spent time in around the
criminal justice system knows there are people who are a
danger to the public, and there are people who have
done who have chosen to do bad things to other people,
and there are real victims, and they need to be
(08:23):
taken out of circulation on the street for many years,
perhaps the rest of their lives. And if you don't
do that, you get the Lake and Riley situation, for example,
and that also adds the illegal illegal alien component. But
you get somebody who finally they do something so heinous
and so awful to an American that we go, okay, well,
(08:44):
now they've got to go to prison for a long time.
But they should have been in prison before that, and
they should have been expelled before that. The failures of
the criminal justice system itself results in real victim When
the justice system does not function as it is supposed to,
(09:04):
as it promises, it has a sacred obligation. You know,
there's a reason why we have all these laws to
take a place like New York State, for example, you know, oh,
you can't carry your own weapon. You can't even have
a gravity knife, which is a don't start sending me
your definitions of oh what's as it's a vague definition
on purpose, right, But you can't even have certain blades
(09:25):
on you in order to defend yourself in New York City.
You can't. I think you can't even carry pepper spray
in New York City. There's all these because the state's
going to defend you. So you are, by the power
of the state, threatened to be incarcerated yourself if you
wish to defend yourself, if you wish to take your
own defense into your hands. By the way, as a citizen,
(09:46):
every citizen, every human being, has the right to self defense.
It is a god given right. It is not a
state given right. But New York says, no, you can't
defend yourself with any of these tools that would make
it a lot easier. We will defend you, we will
protect you. And this is the same conversation in California,
(10:07):
and the same conversation in all of these states that
have been overtaken by this radical left wing ideology. But
what happens, not only is it going to be imperfect,
which that is a certainty, right, They're not going to
be able to protect everybody all the time. We know that,
and we actually can't demand perfect security from the state.
(10:29):
But they fell into a period of recklessness. And it
was because of the George Floyd riots. It was because
of BLM two point zero. A decision was made. A
psychological pandemic took over the country, or at least those
who are in charge of prosecuting and enforcing the law,
(10:49):
and Democrats a lot of who went along with this stuff,
even you know everyday folks. The decision was made that
we're just going to have to allow more of this
to happen because that will be more socially just eventually
we will be a more harmonious country if we don't
punish those who are being predatory against their fellow human
(11:12):
beings more severely. Whether it's this stealing, this kind of
retail organized retail theft they call it, which is just
you know, this is career criminal conduct. Just keep going
and stealing, stealing tens of thousands of dollars at a time,
that's from the Department source things that we've seen, or
individuals who are violent for no reason with somebody. If
(11:35):
you're violent with somebody for no reason on the street
and it's because you are mentally ill, it is incumbent
upon the state to take you off the street until
there is a high degree of certainty that your mental
illness will not result in further violence like this. And again,
I am well aware that you know, less than one
percent of people who have any form of mental illness
are violent. But we got three hundred and fifty million
(11:58):
people in this country. So if it's one percent, that's
a lot of violence, right Or even if it's one
hundredth of one percent, it's a lot of violence. You
have to deal with that. You look at the statistics
in New York City, and there have been an op
eds the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere. If you took
about three or four thousand people who are career criminals
(12:20):
truly out of circulation, meaning they are incarcerated, they are
now semi permanent guests of the state, you would reduce
violent crime effectively overnight, at least for the purposes of
this analysis, by sixty or seventy percent. These options are
out there Giuliani did this over a period of years
(12:41):
in New York City. There isn't some big mystery, but
decisions were made. Deblasio, a vile ideologue, a communist to
his core, and many others along with them, decided, in
my city, we're going to be first and foremost sympathy
with the criminal. Not why they did this thing, or
(13:04):
rather not what they did and how it affects that person,
but why they did this thing in the first place.
What are the root causes? Root causes? Well, we can
do root causes all day, unless you're Hunter Biden. Try
explaining the root cause of you choosing not to pay
your taxes while they're locking you up in a cell.
It's remarkable, isn't it that the law claims to have
(13:26):
in these places the right to your property and the
right to your freedom at its whim, while also telling
you that, look, some people who do really bad stuff
they should be able to walk free. Jordan Neely was
terrorizing people on the subway when Daniel Penny stepped in
after walking up to an Asian woman on a subway
(13:49):
platform some months before, punching her in the face for
no reason, breaking her eye socket broke bones. I mean,
imagine you're that woman. Imagine you're that woman's husband or
brother or father. And this has happened to friends of
mine in New York City. This has happened. This happened
to me in New York City. I'm I haven't punched
in the face by somebody, but I've been threatened it.
I've had lunatics say they're gonna stab me, and I've
(14:09):
had a guy take out as Genitalia and I, you know,
uh like, You're like, WHOA, what do I you know?
You just get out of there as fast as you can.
Lunatics running around, lunatics running around, and a former marine
steps in and says, enough enough of this. The state
has failed to protect the people, the good people of
(14:32):
New York City, so I will step in to protect them.
And people on the subway car have said it, and
other people joined in to help him. This wasn't racism,
This wasn't some guy acting like a fake tough guy.
This was I was trained as a marine to stand
up for those who can't stand up for themselves, and
not to wait until it's too late. And now the
(14:53):
city of New York, this jury is deciding his fate
The implications of this for the cun for the months
and years ahead under this Trump administration, I think are
profound because it is a symbol. Have we reached a
point of change or not? Is there an understanding? Look?
(15:14):
Do I wish that Jordan Neely was alive? Absolutely? Yes,
this was an unfortunate situation. He did not mean to
kill him, but he was right to step in, and
he was right to lay hands on this guy because
you're not allowed to go on a subway and tell
everybody I'm going to kill you, which is what he said.
And I'm ready to go to prison for it. So
(15:36):
a lot riding on this. We may get a verdict
while we're on air. Also want to take your calls
on it. At eight hundred two two eight A two US
Navy Lieutenant Bradley Foster story defines dedication and service to country.
He was inspired by his father's own military service and
felt the deep calling to serve his country too. He
became a pilot in the US Navy. Then Bradley underwent
(15:59):
air and combat training and was later awarded the National
Defense Service Medal. Bradley's goal was to be the best
pilot while also being the best husband and father, but tragically,
his promising life was cut short by a helicopter crash
off the coast of San Diego. Tunnel to Towers provided
his family with a mortgage free home in his honor.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Podcasts and welcome back in. We are talking here about
the Daniel Penny trial. We could have a jury verdict
imminently during the show today. I think it's highly likely.
If not, we may see this get dragged into next week.
One thing that is a noteworthy here is the family
(17:00):
of Jordan Neely. The father of homeless Jordan Neely has
now come forward to sue Daniel Penny, which is his
legal right as a next of kin. And I guess
this is just he's the guy. Whatever the estate is,
he's now now his a state and it's his son.
(17:23):
But there are people asking questions like where were you
and this guy was living on the streets is a schizophrenic.
It was noted by people on the subway that it
seemed like he had not been he had not been
bathed or bathed himself in a long time, that he
was clearly in extreme distress, that he was a basically
(17:44):
a crazy person who was in need of tremendous help.
Where was the dad all this time while some was homeless?
He shows up now he wants a check. I think
that's interesting. I think that's something we're allowed to note.
All right, Look, your energy and drive or tour are
totally correlated to the testosterone levels in your body. Testosterone
(18:06):
is an amazing substance for guys girls into two by
the way, different levels. It's your body's fuel, testosterone. And
if it's low, and this happens to guys, and I
know what this is like, I get my blood checked
and trust me, it can drop a little bit. You
need to do stuff. I've done stuff to try to
address this. A great way to go is Chalk leading
ingredient and Chalk's Mail Vitality Stack has been proven in

and Buck. Appreciate you being with us, and we'll get
to some of your calls. Actually you know what before
I move on to the United Healthcare ceo assassination, which
is a shocking story and quite a who done it.
(19:16):
At this point, we've got photos that have been shared
of the individual, a really interesting anecdote about why we
have those photos, which I will get to more details
on the material that he used and the travel that
this assassin engaged in. I mean, a guy using a
(19:37):
silence pistol to murder the CEO of Buy Revenue, I think,
the fourth largest company in America by revenue, not by profit.
That's not something you see every day. Thankfully, right next
to our New York City studio. If I'll tell you this,
if he hadn't had a silencer on it, and my
crew in New York had been in the studio, they
(19:58):
would have heard the gunshot. Okay, that's how close it
is to our people there in New York City. Well,
I know, if it was a twenty two, maybe not.
But if it was a nine millimeter, oh yeah, that
crack where they are, they would have heard that. We're
looking at that. But first, I want to take a
couple of calls on the Penny issue, because to me,
this is we've just got a matter of hours, maybe
(20:20):
a matter of minutes before we find out what the
jury verdict is. So this is imminent. Kim in Saint
Louis wants to talk about the Daniel Penny situation. What
have you got for me, Kim?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I don't understand why this man is being prosecuted. He
is a hero. He put his life on the line
to save other people's lives from this person that shouldn't
even have been out on the streets in public. I
can't wrap my head around our judicial system going after
this man. He's a hero. Why are they a sitting
(20:50):
here trying to take and put him in jail for
protecting other people. I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You know, if it were a a different city, a
different set of prosecutors, Kim, I think that there's a
chance they wouldn't have brought this case at all. And
it's it's really sad to say, but I think it's
true to say that if Penny had been a black unit,
if Penny had been a black United States Marine and
(21:19):
Newly had been a criminal and you know, dangerous schizophrenic
white guy, New York City would probably view this case
very The prosecutors would treat this case very differently. I
think we all recognize that it's because of the racial
angle that they have decided to go. Remember, they're going
with a top count that could put him in prison
for fifteen years. Fifteen years. And if you look and
(21:43):
see what plea bargains are offered by these Soros prosecutors
for gang for gang members who you know, shoot somebody
in an attempted murder or something. You know, it's Kim,
I'm with you in that it seems to defy logic
or a defy justice on level. But this is the
politics of a city. Thank you for calling of New
(22:03):
York City. Thank you for calling in and Saint Louis,
I might add, is a city that had the prosecutor
there also Soros backed super high crime rate there by
the way, But they were thinking about prosecuting the the couple,
the husband and wife who had the guns in front
while the BLM march was you know, ominously, uh you know,
(22:23):
trapesing through the neighborhood. They they had their their legally
owned firearms out and they were gonna charge them, I
think with brandishing or something like that.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Ed.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
In Grand Rapids, Michigan, an attorney and a police officer ed,
what have you got for us?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, you know, I see it from from both different
from both sides. I work as a defense attorney but
also as a police officer, and unfortunately they're doing the
same thing here in Michigan. Our Attorney general is very
anti police, and there are multiple police officers who stood up,
did their job heroically, and unfortunately the outcome is oftentimes
(23:03):
it's race, a white cop and a dead black guy,
and unfortunately they're getting they're getting prosecutor right now, we've
got several of them. They should be giving these guides awards.
Same thing with Daniel Penny, the prosecutor should give them award.
They have the discretion not to prosecute, and their job
(23:25):
is to seek justice, not seek prosecutions or convictions.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, and that sometimes I think people thank you so
much for calling in. I think people lose side of
that when they talk about the lawyers and prosecutors in
the legal system. There is this notion that, well, that's
what has to happen because that's what the system says,
and it's just hold on, this is the justice system.
It is supposed to do. What is justin should be
(23:53):
recognizable by the public as such, right, which is why
for example, Donald Trump being found guilty of thirty seven
felonies felonies. You have to remember this wasn't even missing
felonies because they elevated it because they created some because
of how he listed a payment that was a legal
(24:14):
payment for an NDA in internal business documents. This is
giving somebody thirty seven felonies for you know, buying an
ice cream cone and having the top scoop fall off
and saying, oh, you know, look what you did environmental waste.
You're environmental terrorists. Now thirty seven felonies. It's insane, it's insane,
(24:36):
and they did it to the incoming president of the
United States. Every time something like this is done by
these leftist radicals. Every time something like this happens, it
undermines the public's faith in the government, which is supposed
to have takes upon itself a monopoly of force in
(24:59):
order to to protect the people and to have a
rule of law that we all understand and believe in
and support. When they do this crazy stuff, when they
decide that, well, I like you, but I don't like you,
so we're gonna treat you under the law differently, people
view this and they say to themselves, this system is crap.
(25:23):
There's something rotten. There's something wrong here which brings me,
by the way, and I'll talk about it. It's why
people want Pete Hegseth that the Pentagon, It's why people
want cash matell at the FBI, including me, want these
guys at these places, including Clay, like, well, this is
Trump's team going forward. He needs people who are going
to go in and say the worst thing that the
FBI can do in some ways is use its powers
(25:46):
to go after non criminal conduct by people who are
politically disfavored. Now, that's almost worse than the FBI just
you know, deciding they're going to cut their arrest down
in half when they go after you know, because they're
to when they go after innocent people because they don't
like them, or because people at the top don't like them,
(26:07):
don't like what they stand for, you can't have faith
in the rest of the system. And this is a
system that says it will send men and women with
guns to your home at you know, five o'clock in
the morning with your wife and children sleeping, you know,
because of insider trading, or because of you know, you
(26:28):
didn't pay your taxes, or because in the case people
say they don't do that buck, they let you surrender.
And if you're a political target, just ask Roger Stone,
do you remember that they sent in the law enforcement
equivalent of Sealed Team six, practically Rogers walking around in
his velvet slippers and his silk pajamas, like, what the
(26:48):
heck are you guys doing here? They got long guns.
They got because they said that he said something about
his non criminal conduct with regard to Trump and that
that was not true. I mean, the whole thing was insane.
You remember this, and I remember this, But the state
wants to tell you that Donald Trump is a thirty
(27:09):
seven time felon. The state wants to tell you. The
state wants to tell you of New York that Daniel
Penny is a manslaughterer, which is effectively a murderer. That's
what they want you to believe. And this is something
that a lot of us, I think, see with the
disdain that it deserves. And it's ideologically based. This is
(27:34):
here's a perfect example of how you can see how
differently things are treated. I remember, this is all ultimately
about rule of law, a norms based society, trust in
law enforcement, trust in the judicial process. This is fundamentally
a perception thing, right. You know, if you live in
a country and there are countries like this, I mean,
(27:57):
for example, Mexico is one of them where people just
believe that if someone commits a crime, the chance they're
going to be held accountable is almost zero. It's true.
That is the way that people go about their lives
in Mexico. Overall, there are other countries like this as well,
and that has effects on everything, has effects on productivity,
has effects on the economy, has effects on the mental
(28:18):
health of the population, right, and I know, like Mexico
City is a really fun destination to visit for people
these days. And there's beautiful places in Mexico. I'm not
saying the whole place is some dystopia, but rule of
law is really different. And you know, we're a heck
of a lot wealthier as a country and a heck
of a lot safer overall as a country than a
(28:38):
lot of the provinces in Mexico that have been overtaken
by a tremendous violence. Same thing in different countries like Venezuela,
South America or States of Mexico, I should say they
have been overtaken by violence. So this stuff all matters.
The public's belief that the system is legitimate matters. And
this is also why Trump the incoming team the people
(28:58):
he wants to put in place holding the system to account,
which means in some cases taking the system and kind
of punching it in the face a few times. Not
just saying, hey, how do you guys do things here?
How have things been this whole time? No, treat things
as though they have been going off the rails and
they need to be fixed. That is critical at this juncture.
(29:22):
I mean, another example I mentioned yesterday, this report about
how the Memphis Police Department is so racist. I mean,
that's what the report is saying. A DOJ report, They
want to put it under a consent decree. Why do
they think the Memphis Police Department is so racist? Because
it arrests and then there's prosecution of too many black
individuals in Memphis. That is the reason. Okay, Now you
(29:45):
might say to yourself, hold on, are these people innocent?
So is the city of Memphis concocting these crimes or mete?
And that would be quite strange considering that more than
half of the Memphis Police Department are black men and women,
and the person who runs the Memphis Police Department is
a black woman. I think it's fair to assume that
if the black female police chief running the Memphis PDE
(30:09):
thought that her officers were faking crimes to arrest black
residents out of racism, you know, I think she would
step in and do something about that.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Can we all just agree that's likely. I think that
the rank and file police officer. You know, my uncle
was a career cop. LAPD worked in a couple of
other jurisdictions as well. You know, a lot of cops
are great people. We have a ton of cops who
listen to this show. And without you, by the way,
it is the purge, So thank you, without you doing
your jobs. We need Daniel Pennies to step up, right.
(30:45):
It's all connected. All of this relates one into the
other rule of law, the way that prosecutors wield their power.
Do people feel safe in major urban areas where there
are a lot of people together? Do they feel safe?
Yes or no? Is the justice system fair to individuals
(31:05):
based on conduct? Yes or no? I mentioned Memphis Police Department,
Tyree Nichols. Tyree Nichols was it was horrible. It was
beaten to death by five black cops. Seems as clear
cut a case of police brutality, which is fortunately very rare,
but it is real, right, a little bit like a
(31:27):
shark attack in that it's very rare, but when it happens,
it's awful, right, it's you know, it's very it's a
horrible thing, but it's rare police brutality that results in
a fatality. Is it is actually along the lines of
by the numbers, something like you know, shark attacks or
you know death by uh, you know, you're you're talking
about in any given year, about a dozen is what
(31:50):
they estimate according to Washington Post. So you know, do
the math on that, right, But the Tyree Nichols case
where we're all the where we're all the riots and
then we're the all the rage. No, it was it
was the Derek Chauvin case with George Floyd that created this,
you know, this race riot revolution across America, and with
(32:13):
and with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer kneeling with the
Kenta cloth around their necks, and the Capitol and FBI
officers and and cops across the country, a lot of them,
not all of them, kneeling in solidarity, kneeling in solidarity.
This was insane. This was insane, and I think people
have reached a point where they have had enough of this.
(32:37):
Not everybody, but a majority of us. I think we
see enough is enough. Equal treatment under the law means
equal treatment under the law. We don't make distinctions based
upon historical injustice to one group or another when it
comes to criminal conduct. And we'll see if this is
what ends up being the being the case in New
(32:59):
York City and the Daniel Penny case, and we'll dive
back into this. I will talk about the United healthcare
CEO assassination coming up here. I do think it's what's
fascinating about it. There's the tactical component of it, which
is quite interesting, and then there's the political aspect of it,
which I will tell you, and I am very rarely surprised.
(33:21):
I have been surprised by how much vitriol there is
about the assassination of a helpless guy from behind. He's
a father, he's a husband, he's an American. And if
you saw the stuff online that people, I mean a
lot of people are writing, well, let's talk about that though.
Let's talk about that and why that's a big problem.
(33:45):

Welcome in everybody. Friday edition of Clay and Buck kicks
off now our man play out for the day on Roots. Actually,
I believe he's already landing in Israel. He'll be coming
to us live from Israel next week and I'll be
here stateside, so having a conversation halfway around the world
(00:20):
with our buddy Clay. He'll be bringing us bround truth
about what's going on over there with Israel surrounded by
enemies like Hamas and Hesblaw, though it has taken the
fight to them as we know over the last year,
and the situation on the ground has improved in terms
of Israeli security dramatically. So we'll be discussing that next week. Today,
(00:41):
though really the whole focus is going to be on
what's happening here at home. Some updates on the assassination
of the United Healthcare CEO. This has turned into an
internet sleuthing phenomenon. Everyone trying to figure out, based on
the photo release, based on the city bike path of
(01:02):
his escape, who this guy is. Are they ever gonna
catch him? Is he a professional or not? These are
all conversations that are ongoing. We will get into some
of this mayor Eric Adams. A lot of New York
on my mind right now. Mayor Eric Adams seems to
leave open the possibility that he's gonna be willing to
(01:26):
work with Republicans a whole lot more than anybody anticipated
in this incoming administration. I see, I'm telling you, Once
the Feds are set on you by Democrats for partisan reasons,
all of a sudden, Republicans still look so scary, right,
all of a sudden, the incoming Trump administration looks like
(01:47):
there somebody might want to extend a hand to I
think this opportunity from Mayor Eric Adams for Trump, or
maybe the opportunity from Trump to Mayor Eric Adams could
be fortune for America's largest city, in my hometown of
many decades. So we will dive into some of what
(02:07):
he says there. A little sad for those of us
who enjoy looking at the firearms reviews and the steak
cooking tips on TikTok, A federal judge has now ruled
that a ban or sale law of TikTok is able
to go through. So the appeals court upheld a nationwide
(02:31):
ban or sale law for TikTok. Look as long as
TikTok stays. I think that's a good thing. I think
that Trump administration is going to be in a position
to both cut off the threats of Chinese spying through
the app, but also let's put some pressure on TikTok
to be a transparent and free speech platform. No, none
(02:52):
of this fraudulent democrat activist stuff of oh, we just
have a terms in service, but we can't tell you
anything about what's really going on, because as we know,
the power of these social media platforms is massive. I
think we might have had a very different election. I
don't know what it would have meant, but I think
things would have been very different, certainly in the coverage
(03:13):
of this last election, if you did not have x
Elon Musk's X formerly Twitter as a true free speech platform.
Because they could not suppress, they could not shut down,
and once the information's out there reaches critical mass on
x it ends up being something you'll see covered by
other news organizations. They can't just ignore it, they can't
(03:36):
just suppress it, so it has a huge impact on
the political and cultural conversation. So we'll discuss that. I
also think we are likely to see a verdict in
the Daniel Penny case. Today, the Daniel Penny case has
been taken to the jury. The jury is currently in
(03:59):
the process of deciding Daniel Penny's fate. They are deadlocked.
And so here's what I know about this so far.
There's it's a little bit confusing. I was trying to
look this up, speak to some legal expert friends of
mine get a sense as to there's really two variations
(04:21):
of manslaughter that are at issue here. The top count
is a reckless manslaughter count, and this very state to state,
and the language the way the statutes are crafted varies
state to state. But there's also the lesser count of
(04:42):
a involuntary manslaughter effectively, right, that's so, and you can say, well,
reckless manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter out of these things. You have
to get pretty deep into the statue to see the
legal distinction, the distinction in terms of a sentence, and
could be very seriou uh. And and that assumes that
(05:03):
he's found guilty on either of them. My concern here
has been and I know we had Uncle Bill, we
had Bill O'Reilly with us, and he's confident nearly I mean,
I'm sorry a penny. Rather, he's confident Penny is going
to get off. Jordan nearly was the individual who lost
his life in this exchange, who was who was killed
when h or Or died as a result of it
(05:24):
is true that he was alive when police arrived to
revive him, which I think has not gotten nearly enough
attention and news coverage. So you know, he had a pulse,
he was breathing when the police got there, and so
there's there's been a lot of of back and forth
between the Penny team and the prosecution over really was
(05:48):
what was was the cause of death solely the application
of force around the neck or the fact that he
was a I believe a schizophrenic and was already had
serious health issues and was going into a panic and
then also with the force. Anyway, this this jury is
going to be making a big decision here, and I
think they'll be making it today and probably while we're
(06:10):
on air, so we will follow that very closely. And
I just think that no matter what happens here, the
reason that there's such a focus, whether there's a not
guilty verdict or a guilty verdict that comes out of
the Penny case, the reason that there's such a focus on.
It is that there really was a period of time
(06:33):
a terror in this country and it was led by
these ideological democrat often in fact back by George Soros organizations,
so they are Soros prosecutors. This was the case in
San Francisco, in Philadelphia, in New York. You know, you
(06:53):
go down list in LA. I mean, all these major cities,
in Chicago, all these major cities have these prosecutors who
who are who are funded by and supported by the
most radical left wing, really fundamentally Marxist and racial Marxist
entities in this country who decided that we just need
(07:16):
to have more crime to achieve more social justice because
the people who disproportionately commit crimes are non white. Therefore
we have to change the way that prosecutions happen, less
people in prison. In fact, the ultimate goal, as you know,
and you can find this, they won't talk about it
that much. They ran with the defund police thing for
(07:37):
a while because that gave them some wiggle room. What
does defund mean, Well, it doesn't mean gone entirely, but
that really would be the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal
on prisons is abolished prisons, which sounds insane because it is,
but that is what they would like to see. These
radical left criminal justice reformers do not believe that those
who commit crimes should be incarceration, and they talk about
(08:01):
things like restorative justice anybody, which is an absurdity. I
might add, anybody who has spent time in around the
criminal justice system knows there are people who are a
danger to the public, and there are people who have
done who have chosen to do bad things to other people,
and there are real victims, and they need to be
(08:23):
taken out of circulation on the street for many years,
perhaps the rest of their lives. And if you don't
do that, you get the Lake and Riley situation, for example,
and that also adds the illegal illegal alien component. But
you get somebody who finally they do something so heinous
and so awful to an American that we go, okay, well,
(08:44):
now they've got to go to prison for a long time.
But they should have been in prison before that, and
they should have been expelled before that. The failures of
the criminal justice system itself results in real victim When
the justice system does not function as it is supposed to,
(09:04):
as it promises, it has a sacred obligation. You know,
there's a reason why we have all these laws to
take a place like New York State, for example, you know, oh,
you can't carry your own weapon. You can't even have
a gravity knife, which is a don't start sending me
your definitions of oh what's as it's a vague definition
on purpose, right, But you can't even have certain blades
(09:25):
on you in order to defend yourself in New York City.
You can't. I think you can't even carry pepper spray
in New York City. There's all these because the state's
going to defend you. So you are, by the power
of the state, threatened to be incarcerated yourself if you
wish to defend yourself, if you wish to take your
own defense into your hands. By the way, as a citizen,
(09:46):
every citizen, every human being, has the right to self defense.
It is a god given right. It is not a
state given right. But New York says, no, you can't
defend yourself with any of these tools that would make
it a lot easier. We will defend you, we will
protect you. And this is the same conversation in California,
(10:07):
and the same conversation in all of these states that
have been overtaken by this radical left wing ideology. But
what happens, not only is it going to be imperfect,
which that is a certainty, right, They're not going to
be able to protect everybody all the time. We know that,
and we actually can't demand perfect security from the state.
(10:29):
But they fell into a period of recklessness. And it
was because of the George Floyd riots. It was because
of BLM two point zero. A decision was made. A
psychological pandemic took over the country, or at least those
who are in charge of prosecuting and enforcing the law,
(10:49):
and Democrats a lot of who went along with this stuff,
even you know everyday folks. The decision was made that
we're just going to have to allow more of this
to happen because that will be more socially just eventually
we will be a more harmonious country if we don't
punish those who are being predatory against their fellow human
(11:12):
beings more severely. Whether it's this stealing, this kind of
retail organized retail theft they call it, which is just
you know, this is career criminal conduct. Just keep going
and stealing, stealing tens of thousands of dollars at a time,
that's from the Department source things that we've seen, or
individuals who are violent for no reason with somebody. If
(11:35):
you're violent with somebody for no reason on the street
and it's because you are mentally ill, it is incumbent
upon the state to take you off the street until
there is a high degree of certainty that your mental
illness will not result in further violence like this. And again,
I am well aware that you know, less than one
percent of people who have any form of mental illness
are violent. But we got three hundred and fifty million
(11:58):
people in this country. So if it's one percent, that's
a lot of violence, right Or even if it's one
hundredth of one percent, it's a lot of violence. You
have to deal with that. You look at the statistics
in New York City, and there have been an op
eds the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere. If you took
about three or four thousand people who are career criminals
(12:20):
truly out of circulation, meaning they are incarcerated, they are
now semi permanent guests of the state, you would reduce
violent crime effectively overnight, at least for the purposes of
this analysis, by sixty or seventy percent. These options are
out there Giuliani did this over a period of years
(12:41):
in New York City. There isn't some big mystery, but
decisions were made. Deblasio, a vile ideologue, a communist to
his core, and many others along with them, decided, in
my city, we're going to be first and foremost sympathy
with the criminal. Not why they did this thing, or
(13:04):
rather not what they did and how it affects that person,
but why they did this thing in the first place.
What are the root causes? Root causes? Well, we can
do root causes all day, unless you're Hunter Biden. Try
explaining the root cause of you choosing not to pay
your taxes while they're locking you up in a cell.
It's remarkable, isn't it that the law claims to have
(13:26):
in these places the right to your property and the
right to your freedom at its whim, while also telling
you that, look, some people who do really bad stuff
they should be able to walk free. Jordan Neely was
terrorizing people on the subway when Daniel Penny stepped in
after walking up to an Asian woman on a subway
(13:49):
platform some months before, punching her in the face for
no reason, breaking her eye socket broke bones. I mean,
imagine you're that woman. Imagine you're that woman's husband or
brother or father. And this has happened to friends of
mine in New York City. This has happened. This happened
to me in New York City. I'm I haven't punched
in the face by somebody, but I've been threatened it.
I've had lunatics say they're gonna stab me, and I've
(14:09):
had a guy take out as Genitalia and I, you know,
uh like, You're like, WHOA, what do I you know?
You just get out of there as fast as you can.
Lunatics running around, lunatics running around, and a former marine
steps in and says, enough enough of this. The state
has failed to protect the people, the good people of
(14:32):
New York City, so I will step in to protect them.
And people on the subway car have said it, and
other people joined in to help him. This wasn't racism,
This wasn't some guy acting like a fake tough guy.
This was I was trained as a marine to stand
up for those who can't stand up for themselves, and
not to wait until it's too late. And now the
(14:53):
city of New York, this jury is deciding his fate
The implications of this for the cun for the months
and years ahead under this Trump administration, I think are
profound because it is a symbol. Have we reached a
point of change or not? Is there an understanding? Look?
(15:14):
Do I wish that Jordan Neely was alive? Absolutely? Yes,
this was an unfortunate situation. He did not mean to
kill him, but he was right to step in, and
he was right to lay hands on this guy because
you're not allowed to go on a subway and tell
everybody I'm going to kill you, which is what he said.
And I'm ready to go to prison for it. So
(15:36):
a lot riding on this. We may get a verdict
while we're on air. Also want to take your calls
on it. At eight hundred two two eight A two US
Navy Lieutenant Bradley Foster story defines dedication and service to country.
He was inspired by his father's own military service and
felt the deep calling to serve his country too. He
became a pilot in the US Navy. Then Bradley underwent
(15:59):
air and combat training and was later awarded the National
Defense Service Medal. Bradley's goal was to be the best
pilot while also being the best husband and father, but tragically,
his promising life was cut short by a helicopter crash
off the coast of San Diego. Tunnel to Towers provided
his family with a mortgage free home in his honor.
Show your support for heroes like Bradley and their families.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Podcasts and welcome back in. We are talking here about
the Daniel Penny trial. We could have a jury verdict
imminently during the show today. I think it's highly likely.
If not, we may see this get dragged into next week.
One thing that is a noteworthy here is the family
(17:00):
of Jordan Neely. The father of homeless Jordan Neely has
now come forward to sue Daniel Penny, which is his
legal right as a next of kin. And I guess
this is just he's the guy. Whatever the estate is,
he's now now his a state and it's his son.
(17:23):
But there are people asking questions like where were you
and this guy was living on the streets is a schizophrenic.
It was noted by people on the subway that it
seemed like he had not been he had not been
bathed or bathed himself in a long time, that he
was clearly in extreme distress, that he was a basically
(17:44):
a crazy person who was in need of tremendous help.
Where was the dad all this time while some was homeless?
He shows up now he wants a check. I think
that's interesting. I think that's something we're allowed to note.
All right, Look, your energy and drive or tour are
totally correlated to the testosterone levels in your body. Testosterone
(18:06):
is an amazing substance for guys girls into two by
the way, different levels. It's your body's fuel, testosterone. And
if it's low, and this happens to guys, and I
know what this is like, I get my blood checked
and trust me, it can drop a little bit. You
need to do stuff. I've done stuff to try to
address this. A great way to go is Chalk leading

and Buck. Appreciate you being with us, and we'll get
to some of your calls. Actually you know what before
I move on to the United Healthcare ceo assassination, which
is a shocking story and quite a who done it.
(19:16):
At this point, we've got photos that have been shared
of the individual, a really interesting anecdote about why we
have those photos, which I will get to more details
on the material that he used and the travel that
this assassin engaged in. I mean, a guy using a
(19:37):
silence pistol to murder the CEO of Buy Revenue, I think,
the fourth largest company in America by revenue, not by profit.
That's not something you see every day. Thankfully, right next
to our New York City studio. If I'll tell you this,
if he hadn't had a silencer on it, and my
crew in New York had been in the studio, they
(19:58):
would have heard the gunshot. Okay, that's how close it
is to our people there in New York City. Well,
I know, if it was a twenty two, maybe not.
But if it was a nine millimeter, oh yeah, that
crack where they are, they would have heard that. We're
looking at that. But first, I want to take a
couple of calls on the Penny issue, because to me,
this is we've just got a matter of hours, maybe
(20:20):
a matter of minutes before we find out what the
jury verdict is. So this is imminent. Kim in Saint
Louis wants to talk about the Daniel Penny situation. What
have you got for me, Kim?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I don't understand why this man is being prosecuted. He
is a hero. He put his life on the line
to save other people's lives from this person that shouldn't
even have been out on the streets in public. I
can't wrap my head around our judicial system going after
this man. He's a hero. Why are they a sitting
(20:50):
here trying to take and put him in jail for
protecting other people. I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You know, if it were a a different city, a
different set of prosecutors, Kim, I think that there's a
chance they wouldn't have brought this case at all. And
it's it's really sad to say, but I think it's
true to say that if Penny had been a black unit,
if Penny had been a black United States Marine and
(21:19):
Newly had been a criminal and you know, dangerous schizophrenic
white guy, New York City would probably view this case
very The prosecutors would treat this case very differently. I
think we all recognize that it's because of the racial
angle that they have decided to go. Remember, they're going
with a top count that could put him in prison
for fifteen years. Fifteen years. And if you look and
(21:43):
see what plea bargains are offered by these Soros prosecutors
for gang for gang members who you know, shoot somebody
in an attempted murder or something. You know, it's Kim,
I'm with you in that it seems to defy logic
or a defy justice on level. But this is the
politics of a city. Thank you for calling of New
(22:03):
York City. Thank you for calling in and Saint Louis,
I might add, is a city that had the prosecutor
there also Soros backed super high crime rate there by
the way, But they were thinking about prosecuting the the couple,
the husband and wife who had the guns in front
while the BLM march was you know, ominously, uh you know,
(22:23):
trapesing through the neighborhood. They they had their their legally
owned firearms out and they were gonna charge them, I
think with brandishing or something like that.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Ed.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
In Grand Rapids, Michigan, an attorney and a police officer ed,
what have you got for us?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, you know, I see it from from both different
from both sides. I work as a defense attorney but
also as a police officer, and unfortunately they're doing the
same thing here in Michigan. Our Attorney general is very
anti police, and there are multiple police officers who stood up,
did their job heroically, and unfortunately the outcome is oftentimes
(23:03):
it's race, a white cop and a dead black guy,
and unfortunately they're getting they're getting prosecutor right now, we've
got several of them. They should be giving these guides awards.
Same thing with Daniel Penny, the prosecutor should give them award.
They have the discretion not to prosecute, and their job
(23:25):
is to seek justice, not seek prosecutions or convictions.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, and that sometimes I think people thank you so
much for calling in. I think people lose side of
that when they talk about the lawyers and prosecutors in
the legal system. There is this notion that, well, that's
what has to happen because that's what the system says,
and it's just hold on, this is the justice system.
It is supposed to do. What is justin should be
(23:53):
recognizable by the public as such, right, which is why
for example, Donald Trump being found guilty of thirty seven
felonies felonies. You have to remember this wasn't even missing
felonies because they elevated it because they created some because
of how he listed a payment that was a legal
(24:14):
payment for an NDA in internal business documents. This is
giving somebody thirty seven felonies for you know, buying an
ice cream cone and having the top scoop fall off
and saying, oh, you know, look what you did environmental waste.
You're environmental terrorists. Now thirty seven felonies. It's insane, it's insane,
(24:36):
and they did it to the incoming president of the
United States. Every time something like this is done by
these leftist radicals. Every time something like this happens, it
undermines the public's faith in the government, which is supposed
to have takes upon itself a monopoly of force in
(24:59):
order to to protect the people and to have a
rule of law that we all understand and believe in
and support. When they do this crazy stuff, when they
decide that, well, I like you, but I don't like you,
so we're gonna treat you under the law differently, people
view this and they say to themselves, this system is crap.
(25:23):
There's something rotten. There's something wrong here which brings me,
by the way, and I'll talk about it. It's why
people want Pete Hegseth that the Pentagon, It's why people
want cash matell at the FBI, including me, want these
guys at these places, including Clay, like, well, this is
Trump's team going forward. He needs people who are going
to go in and say the worst thing that the
FBI can do in some ways is use its powers
(25:46):
to go after non criminal conduct by people who are
politically disfavored. Now, that's almost worse than the FBI just
you know, deciding they're going to cut their arrest down
in half when they go after you know, because they're
to when they go after innocent people because they don't
like them, or because people at the top don't like them,
(26:07):
don't like what they stand for, you can't have faith
in the rest of the system. And this is a
system that says it will send men and women with
guns to your home at you know, five o'clock in
the morning with your wife and children sleeping, you know,
because of insider trading, or because of you know, you
(26:28):
didn't pay your taxes, or because in the case people
say they don't do that buck, they let you surrender.
And if you're a political target, just ask Roger Stone,
do you remember that they sent in the law enforcement
equivalent of Sealed Team six, practically Rogers walking around in
his velvet slippers and his silk pajamas, like, what the
(26:48):
heck are you guys doing here? They got long guns.
They got because they said that he said something about
his non criminal conduct with regard to Trump and that
that was not true. I mean, the whole thing was insane.
You remember this, and I remember this, But the state
wants to tell you that Donald Trump is a thirty
(27:09):
seven time felon. The state wants to tell you. The
state wants to tell you of New York that Daniel
Penny is a manslaughterer, which is effectively a murderer. That's
what they want you to believe. And this is something
that a lot of us, I think, see with the
disdain that it deserves. And it's ideologically based. This is
(27:34):
here's a perfect example of how you can see how
differently things are treated. I remember, this is all ultimately
about rule of law, a norms based society, trust in
law enforcement, trust in the judicial process. This is fundamentally
a perception thing, right. You know, if you live in
a country and there are countries like this, I mean,
(27:57):
for example, Mexico is one of them where people just
believe that if someone commits a crime, the chance they're
going to be held accountable is almost zero. It's true.
That is the way that people go about their lives
in Mexico. Overall, there are other countries like this as well,
and that has effects on everything, has effects on productivity,
has effects on the economy, has effects on the mental
(28:18):
health of the population, right, and I know, like Mexico
City is a really fun destination to visit for people
these days. And there's beautiful places in Mexico. I'm not
saying the whole place is some dystopia, but rule of
law is really different. And you know, we're a heck
of a lot wealthier as a country and a heck
of a lot safer overall as a country than a
(28:38):
lot of the provinces in Mexico that have been overtaken
by a tremendous violence. Same thing in different countries like Venezuela,
South America or States of Mexico, I should say they
have been overtaken by violence. So this stuff all matters.
The public's belief that the system is legitimate matters. And
this is also why Trump the incoming team the people
(28:58):
he wants to put in place holding the system to account,
which means in some cases taking the system and kind
of punching it in the face a few times. Not
just saying, hey, how do you guys do things here?
How have things been this whole time? No, treat things
as though they have been going off the rails and
they need to be fixed. That is critical at this juncture.
(29:22):
I mean, another example I mentioned yesterday, this report about
how the Memphis Police Department is so racist. I mean,
that's what the report is saying. A DOJ report, They
want to put it under a consent decree. Why do
they think the Memphis Police Department is so racist? Because
it arrests and then there's prosecution of too many black
individuals in Memphis. That is the reason. Okay, Now you
(29:45):
might say to yourself, hold on, are these people innocent?
So is the city of Memphis concocting these crimes or mete?
And that would be quite strange considering that more than
half of the Memphis Police Department are black men and women,
and the person who runs the Memphis Police Department is
a black woman. I think it's fair to assume that
if the black female police chief running the Memphis PDE
(30:09):
thought that her officers were faking crimes to arrest black
residents out of racism, you know, I think she would
step in and do something about that.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Can we all just agree that's likely. I think that
the rank and file police officer. You know, my uncle
was a career cop. LAPD worked in a couple of
other jurisdictions as well. You know, a lot of cops
are great people. We have a ton of cops who
listen to this show. And without you, by the way,
it is the purge, So thank you, without you doing
your jobs. We need Daniel Pennies to step up, right.
(30:45):
It's all connected. All of this relates one into the
other rule of law, the way that prosecutors wield their power.
Do people feel safe in major urban areas where there
are a lot of people together? Do they feel safe?
Yes or no? Is the justice system fair to individuals
(31:05):
based on conduct? Yes or no? I mentioned Memphis Police Department,
Tyree Nichols. Tyree Nichols was it was horrible. It was
beaten to death by five black cops. Seems as clear
cut a case of police brutality, which is fortunately very rare,
but it is real, right, a little bit like a
(31:27):
shark attack in that it's very rare, but when it happens,
it's awful, right, it's you know, it's very it's a
horrible thing, but it's rare police brutality that results in
a fatality. Is it is actually along the lines of
by the numbers, something like you know, shark attacks or
you know death by uh, you know, you're you're talking
about in any given year, about a dozen is what
(31:50):
they estimate according to Washington Post. So you know, do
the math on that, right, But the Tyree Nichols case
where we're all the where we're all the riots and
then we're the all the rage. No, it was it
was the Derek Chauvin case with George Floyd that created this,
you know, this race riot revolution across America, and with
(32:13):
and with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer kneeling with the
Kenta cloth around their necks, and the Capitol and FBI
officers and and cops across the country, a lot of them,
not all of them, kneeling in solidarity, kneeling in solidarity.
This was insane. This was insane, and I think people
have reached a point where they have had enough of this.
(32:37):
Not everybody, but a majority of us. I think we
see enough is enough. Equal treatment under the law means
equal treatment under the law. We don't make distinctions based
upon historical injustice to one group or another when it
comes to criminal conduct. And we'll see if this is
what ends up being the being the case in New
(32:59):
York City and the Daniel Penny case, and we'll dive
back into this. I will talk about the United healthcare
CEO assassination coming up here. I do think it's what's
fascinating about it. There's the tactical component of it, which
is quite interesting, and then there's the political aspect of it,
which I will tell you, and I am very rarely surprised.
(33:21):
I have been surprised by how much vitriol there is
about the assassination of a helpless guy from behind. He's
a father, he's a husband, he's an American. And if
you saw the stuff online that people, I mean a
lot of people are writing, well, let's talk about that though.
Let's talk about that and why that's a big problem.
(33:45):
