Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into President Donald Trump’s bold crime-fighting initiative in Washington, D.C., highlighting his decision to join law enforcement patrols on the streets. The hosts frame this move as both a serious public safety effort and a media spectacle, likening it to a real-life episode of “Cops” and a missed opportunity for Saturday Night Live satire. The segment explores how Trump’s presence forces mainstream media to cover crime reduction efforts, despite their usual reluctance.
The hour also covers a controversial arrest on the National Mall involving an undocumented immigrant with a prior charge of aggravated sexual battery against a minor. The media’s emotional response—particularly from Miami Herald journalist Julie Brown—is criticized for ignoring the suspect’s criminal history. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader pattern of journalistic bias and misinformation.
Crime statistics in D.C. take center stage, with data showing a dramatic drop in violent crime following National Guard deployment: homicides halted for seven days, carjackings down 83%, robberies down 46%, and overall violent crime down 22%. The hosts emphasize that these improvements disproportionately benefit Black residents, who make up 94% of shooting victims in the city, challenging Democratic narratives that law enforcement is inherently racially biased.
The conversation expands to national implications, suggesting Trump’s crime-reduction model could be replicated in high-crime cities like Memphis, Kansas City, New Orleans, and Louisville. The hosts advocate for proven policing strategies such as stop-and-frisk and targeted enforcement in crime hotspots, arguing that Democrats face a political dilemma if these tactics prove effective.
Civil rights and gender identity issues also take the spotlight, with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon joining the show to discuss Title IX enforcement. She outlines the DOJ’s litigation against states like California and Maine for allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports, citing safety and fairness concerns. Dhillon also addresses college admissions, revealing that the DOJ has sent compliance letters to top universities to enforce race-neutral policies following the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling. She warns against backdoor diversity practices, such as essay prompts and video interviews used to infer race and gender.
Listeners weigh in with reactions to Trump’s patrol plans, Cracker Barrel’s branding controversy, and broader cultural shifts.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour of Clan Bought kicks off now and oh wait,
do we have some stories to share with you. We
have Trump saying that he is going to join law
enforcement on the streets of DC tonight. This if you
could come up with a better reality TV show, I
would want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I mean, I would watch the heck.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Out of a show, you know, President Trump, Cops, President Trump.
I mean, tell me that's not amazing television.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You know, this is a remarkable situation, Clay, because we
have the President. He is going to be out there
on the streets, so the media has to cover it.
And Trump on an episode of Cops. I mean, just
think about if SNL was actually trying to be funny.
This is Taylor made for it. You could have Trump
with some guy like, excuse me, sir, we know you're
(00:54):
in a gang.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
We know.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, no, now, be nice, don't be mean. We found
the block. Some people are saying at Glock nineteen in
your pants, not supposed to have it here, convicted felon. No,
Glock nineteen's for you. You know, we could see how
this would all work. It would be incredible entertainment. And
yet Trump is actually going out on this mission, with
the seriousness of the mission of trying to make DC safer,
(01:19):
make DC great again, I guess, and this is something
that I think is another moment where the Democrats are losing.
Let me let me give you an example of why
I think they are losing. Here is a journalist for
the Miami Herald. Okay, so let me set the scene. Clay,
(01:40):
did you see this one on the streets of DC.
You had a bunch of police and they pulled aside
a guy and federal agents detained him on the National
Mall and he tries to he resists arrest, and he's
screaming I think in Spanish. He's making quite a scene,
and he's saying, you know, I just want to be
with my family, please, I'm not a criminal. I just
(02:02):
want to be with my family. And there's video of this,
and immediately the DC journal industrial complex is, oh my gosh,
this is the Stazzi, you know, the East German secret
police on the streets of DC. This is like a
this is authoritarianism. This is terrible, terrible stuff. And then
one journalist, Julie Brown, she's I think since deleted this tweet,
(02:25):
but tweets her forever from the Miami Herald. His crying
hits me in the gut, and we will probably never
be told who he is, why he was stopped, or
if he was even here illegally.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Do you know how the story ends, Clay, I do know.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I did not see this tweet, but I'm just laughing
because it's just such a complete joke of a left
wing journal tweet.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I did not know that, but yes, continue, I do
know how this story ends.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Update I says sent a statement on this man's attention,
saying his name is David Perez Teofani. He was arrested
in Fairfax County in twenty twenty four and charged with
aggravated sexual battery against a minor under thirteen.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Ah bad stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
That.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, who is the journal who said that that picture
basically like rectors hit her in the gun?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Julie Brown so so alleged. Oh by the way, there
was a you know, alleged pedophile and that is the
proper term. I mean, this is what this guy is
accused of. Aarin, sorry that that's that guy. But now
I'm going to a journalist, a journalist who also was
commenting on this, he said, Aaron reischlinn Melnik as a
(03:45):
DC resident, This doesn't make me feel any safer. It
makes me want to stay the hell away from the
mall because I don't want to have to watch something
like this go down. Well, he's an accused aggravated pediph
you know, sexual assault pedophile.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
He has a.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Final order of removal already out on him. He has
entered the US illegally three times. So this guy is
a menaged to public safety, has come into the US
three times illegally, has no respect for our laws or
immigration laws whatsoever. But the DC journals are all shedding
(04:22):
tears about it. This is what they just keep running into,
this buzzsaw clay over and over again.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, and I think it's important let's share this report
because we talked about the data and what it's showing,
and I mentioned it earlier. But we're in a situation
where eight days now, I believe it is, there has
not been a murder in Washington, DC, and that basically
has never occurred in a summer that they can find
(04:48):
on the record. And we have a cut that I
shared from the from DC. This is the news laying
out exactly how much much crime has gone down. This
is cut six Jeff Abel on Fox forty five Baltimore
(05:08):
last night.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I believe cut six.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
When the National Guard hit the ground in Washington last week,
that city's crime fight went into overdrive. And now we're
seeing the impact and the dramatic reductions in crime with
the Guard on the ground. Crime is on the decline.
For the first time in a long time. DC has
gone seven days without a homicide. And that's not all.
(05:32):
Carjackings are down eighty three percent, robberies are down forty
six percent, carthef's down twenty one percent, and overall violent
crime is down twenty two percent. When you have these
kind of numbers going down, it basically says this is
a success, and that means people feel safer.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I mean, this is Trump's genius buck. He has wooked him.
And I think this is important because you grew up
in New York City and you can speak to this.
DC crime levels are at nineteen ninety New York City
crime levels. If the nation and I'm not saying New
York City is perfect, because I know a lot of
our WR listener WR listeners are still saying, hey, there's
(06:14):
a lot we can get better in New York City.
But if the nation had the crime rate of New
York City. Cities like Washington, d C, Memphis, Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
You can run through a whole litany of them would
all experience dramatic declines in violent crime. And as the
Washington Wall Street Journal put this morning or last night,
I was reading, you.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Know what percentage?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I think that yesterday Heather McDonald told us ninety four
percent of all people shot in DC or black ninety
four percent. So if you want to talk about who
is actually benefiting from Trump putting crime down by massive amounts,
it's over whelming lead the black residents of DC who
(07:02):
are overwhelmingly the victims of violent crime, and Democrats are
they don't really know what to do, buck because when
you start to see this be effective, letting it crime
continue looks like a choice.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Which is what it is. And then what do they do?
What does that mean? In cities across the country where
the Democrats have had one party rule for decades and
things have just been a mess and the crime rate
has been way too high. I think of Baltimore, a
place where I've spent considerable time, which should be geographically
(07:37):
and architecturally, at least in some areas of the downtown.
It should be a beautiful city, a thriving and beautiful city,
and it is a crime hell hole in some areas
and everyone knows it. And that shouldn't be acceptable in
America today, in a country that has the resources that
we do, in a country that has the capabilities the
(07:58):
law enforcement capabilities that we do. Is a function of
political will. Some of these politicians in some of these
cities have decided that not enforcing the law, and some
of the prosecutors are acting like politicians, even if they're
not necessarily elected in the same way. They've decided that
not enforcing the law is the choice that they will make.
(08:18):
Somehow that is better. And I think you've got a vision,
or you got to look into the view of someone
like Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles who just says
enforcing the law is targeting young black and brown men
and that's what's going on here. And we say, okay, well,
so what do we think if what Karen Bass, If
what Mayor Bass says is true, So then is the
(08:40):
answer we just don't enforce the law.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is that really where we're supposed to go?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Or or we absolutely minimize the degree to which we
enforce the law and punish serious criminals because of the
racial disparity in those committing crimes. Because I think people
just reject that now in large numbers across the country,
including my in places, who want to be saved, you know,
who want to be safer, who aren't breaking the law.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's to me where you go.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And I wish we had an honest media because when
you have a politician say, well, I'm concerned that if
we enforce the law, there's going to be too many
black and brown people arrested, which is New York, which
is what LA Mayor Karen Bass said, the immediate pushback is, Okay,
I understand that, but why should we privilege violent criminals
(09:28):
at the expense of the vast majority of black and
brown individuals who are not committing crimes. If you had
to decide who to inconvenience, call me crazy, I would
inconvenience the law breakers, and I would actually convenience the
people that are not breaking the law. And that's the
side of this equation that it's as if you can't
(09:49):
have that discussion because we want to protect people who
are innocent from people that are violent. I also think
this then becomes the real conversation, how did this happen?
Why have we just grown willing to pretend that basically
six percent of the population, young black men are committing
(10:12):
basically half of all crimes in America. And why have
we just decided that the parts of the city and
the parts of the state where those kids are most
likely to live, and I say kids because they tend
to be young men, that law and order just shouldn't
exist there. This is all very solvable, and I think
New York City is a great example of how to
(10:33):
solve it. And again, I'm not saying we're going to
be perfect. I wish we had a zero violent crime rate,
but you get the compustat data, you look at where
all the murders are happening, You flood police response in
those communities, you arrest violent criminals. What do you say,
stop frisk and questions, question and risk. Yeah, all over
(10:55):
the country and crime rate would collapse and the vast
majority of the lives that were saved would be black
and brown, in particular black, because they're the kids that
are getting killed. If you really think black lives matter.
What Trump is doing in Washington, DC, as president is
saying black lives matter more than maybe any president has
(11:16):
ever said, because he's actually trying to save black lives
by limiting violent crime, which overwhelmingly victimizes them. And this,
to your point, Buck, puts Democrats in a really tough
spot because basically they have to argue, well, we can't
actually enforce the law because too many people of the
wrong color get arrested when the law is enforced.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And I think that's a really tough argument to Well,
this is.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Why we always make the case and we've talked about
this for years now about the gender disparity and violent crime.
If the law is either good or it's not, the
fact that it is effectively almost only men who are
killing people doesn't mean that there's a gender bias. It
just means that's what's going on. And it's not the
duty of the law to uh try to you know,
(12:02):
equalize that between men and women. It so so this
is this is what we see and this is the
reality as it plays out. But I do think Trump
going out on patrol this could be amazing. Remember when
he did the McDonald's window through Oh yeah, yeah, and
and and all these journals and all the the lib
intelligence you were trying to criticize that.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Everyone's like, oh, it's kind of funny. Actually, it's kind
of like.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
It's kind of a great, uh, you know, photo op
and shows he's got a sense of humor and about
himself and everything else. And it's just it's amazing how
much they have thrown at Trump that he has been
able to turn around and just work to his advantage.
And yet again, I think on this DC crime thing,
(12:45):
they thought, oh my gosh, there's gonna be tanks on
the streets of DC and the militarization.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And it's good.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
That's what people who live in Los Angeles and New
York and and safe parts that you know, Ring d
C or outside you know, Chevy. That's what the Chevy
Chase reads are saying. And the McLean Virginia residents are
saying about this. It's not what people live in the
rough aarriers are saying about it. They're saying, clean up
my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
And again, what I've said from the get go is
I hope this continues. But can you imagine if a
month from now violent crimes down fifty percent in DC?
Why would this not work? This same plan in other
areas with similarly rates of violent crime. Why would this
not work in Memphis? Why would this not work in
Kansas City? Why would this not work in Louisville, Kentucky.
(13:30):
Like you can run through a lot of different cities Birmingham,
Alabama that have way too high of murder rates, a
lot of them not far Nashville, Tennessee, where I live.
I mean, I wish we had a lower violent crime rate.
Seems like a no brainer to me, And that is
really I think what scares democrats is if this works,
what do they do.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'll talk to you about Preborn for a moment. This
is a nonprofit saving the lives of tens of thousands
of babies every year. Last year alone, they saved more
than sixty five thousand unborn children, and this year they've
saved forty thousand unborn babies. Preborn's mission is to save
lives by presenting pregnant mothers who are contemplating an abortion
with a better alternative life for their unborn child, and
(14:13):
the team of people working at these Preborn clinics are
providing those pregnant moms with support, assistance, and a free
ultrasound so that they can meet the baby growing in
their womb. That ultrasound experience allows each mother to meet
and bond with her unborn child, hear the heartbeat, see
those tiny movements inside of her, and so often that's
the turning point. Preborn accomplishes this with just twenty eight
(14:34):
dollars per ultrasound. Please pro life people out there, they
need you. They get no government funding. Preborn is doing
what it can to save lives, but they need your help.
To donate securely. Dial pound two five zero, say the
keyword baby. You can set up to donate twenty eight
dollars a month and it's all tax deductible and it's
(14:55):
saving lives. That's donating securely by dialing pound two fifty
and saying the key word baby. Or got a preborn

app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we are rolling
through the Thursday edition of the program. Right here are
so many different breaking news parts out there. I did
think Buck, we should play Wolf of Blitzer. You mentioned
(15:40):
the arrest of the individual there by the Washington Mall
who had got the charge of sexual assault against the minor.
This is how CNN to.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Minor under under twelve or under thirteen. I mean, yeah,
extra agriv That's why it's aggravated extreme. This is how
CNN covered it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Just in case you're still watching, CNN cut thirty Wolf Blitzer.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
And new video shows federal officers detaining a man on
the National Mall. We want to warn our viewers some
might find this video disturbing.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Watch this.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
He was saying in Spanish he was here to work
and not to be arrested. A Homeland Security Department spokesperson
said the man is undocumented from Mexico and was arrested before.
But NBC four here in Washington is reporting that a
person with the same name who faced similar charges had
them dropped without prosecution.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I just think that.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You, really, you, all of you out there listening to
us right now. I think we do a pretty good
job of tell telling you stories that matter and letting
you contextualize how they're being reported out there. I think
there are huge news deserts. What I would call it
that here, almost none of the story like we shared, Hey,
(17:14):
this was a guy who was arrested that had an
outstanding warrant for a sexual assault allegation on someone under
thirteen years old. If you're a cn enviewer, do you
hear that? If you're a New York Times reader, do
you read it? Washington Post? The way that these stories
are being covered are very dishonest. And I wonder how
(17:34):
many people out there are even aware that the DC
violent crime rate is collapsing, because a lot of times
when stories like these happen, they just pretend that the
data doesn't reflect what is actually true, which is more
cops out on the street. Makes us all saber. We'll
take some of your calls. We'll play some of your
talk backs in the meantime. NFL Season Prize Picks is

Speaker 1 (18:51):
All right, welcome back in everybody. We are joined now
by Harmey Dylon. She is Assistant Attorney General for the
Civil Rights Division in the Trump Justice Department. Harmy, thank
you for making time for us.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
Yes, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Let's jump right into it. I know you've got a
lot as part of your portfolio, if you will, at
the Civil Rights Division, which, unfortunately, just for everyone's benefit
out there, before Trump had come along in this administration,
had been even through I think Republican administrations, a particularly
woke part of.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
The DJ which we can get into that a second.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Let's first, though, tell us how you are working to
protect women in sports and Title nine and how that
is playing out.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
Well, this is the top priority of the administration. You've
seen the president's executive orders on a number of issues,
and particularly touching on these DEI issues. And I think
one of the most important civil rights issues of our
time is the way that women's rights are being systematically
abridged by men pretending to be women and taking their trophies,
(19:56):
destroying their dreams, and eradicating their opportunityies to compete for
scholarships and win. So that's a big issue for us.
It also actually crosses over a little bit on the
other side. We've seen girls who think they're boys violating
the privacy rights of boys, like you've seen in Loudon County.
That is equally illegal, less of an issue numerically, but
(20:18):
you know, profoundly impacts the young men who had affect.
So this Department of Justice has gone to court. We
sent letters to California, which is doing this. We we're
in litigation with Maine and California now for both states
refusal to honor our legal guidance that girls should not
(20:41):
have to compete with boys, and so we're seeing that
play out around the country.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I appreciate you coming on, and I appreciate all the
work that you're doing. Obviously, we at OutKick, a company
that I used to own that Fox now owns, have
covered this aggressively, and we have a story up today.
I don't know if you've seen it yet. A the
six foot four ninth grade male has decided that he
wants to play women's volleyball and has made the team
(21:09):
as you would expect a six foot four man young
man might, and it's thrown the entire community, I'm told,
into an uproar, because the girls and their families are
rightfully pointing out that this is absolutely ridiculous. We've seen
in volleyball. In particular, if I remember correctly, Peyton, whose
last name is escaped me right now, actually got struck
(21:29):
by a man playing, jumping up, hitting the ball way
harder than a woman typically could. What should happen and
what is going to happen with all of these stories
which seem to be happening in pretty much every blue
state out there.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Well, look, the courts are going to have to step up,
and ultimately the United state. Supreme Court is going to
have to rule on this issue and make it clear.
But increasingly I think courts are agreeing with us, and
you know, Supreme Court and it's ruling.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
In the.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Gender surgery case in Tennessee actually did make a very
clear pronouncement there that gender identity is not the same
thing as sex, and that's the first time you've seen
that kind of a clear guidance from the Supreme Court.
The case is Scremeti, which is the name of the
(22:19):
Attorney General in Tennessee, and so that's, you know, I
think the Court I think made itself very clear in
that case. We're just going to have to have court
cases to make these states pay attention. What's so interesting
for me, as you know, I came from the political world,
and now I've of course taken out that political hat.
I'm just a lawyer. But politically it seems insane that
(22:42):
this is the hill that people are planning to die on.
Because the constituency affected by these ludicrous anti science and
anti civil rights positions is a tiny one, but it's
just a massive amount of virtue signaling, and it's I
think actually not very popular in the country numerically, so
I don't understand why people are dying on the film.
But regardless, we believe it isn't a matter of how
(23:03):
many girls are affected. If anyone girl's civil rights are violated,
it's a problem for all Americans.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
We're speaking everybody to Harmony Dylan, Assistant Attorney General for
Civil Rights Division at DOJ, and har meet. One area
where I keep seeing this, here's the storyline. Essentially, the
Supreme Court has weighed in on racial preferences in college admissions,
and yet time and again I am seeing people who
(23:30):
are claiming, either from direct knowledge or indirect knowledge of
the admissions process, that schools are just ignoring this and
continuing to do what they've always done because they think
that that ruling from the Supreme Court doesn't apply to them.
What can you tell us about this? Is this something
that the administration is going to be tackling more? And
(23:51):
you know, is this something that we can expect action
on what we are I.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Mean, I just told you we are tackling it. I
don't know how we could tackle it harder. We are
tackling it everywhere. Can hands you know a loud In
County case is something that's that fact pattern is underway.
The young men are privately represented, but you know, stay
tuned in that court. And there are four other counties
in Virginia right here in our backyard that are similarly
(24:15):
giving the middle finger to the federal and federal law
and running roughshot over his right.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So no, I'm talking about college admissions harmony. I'm talking
about the college admissions issue, not the gender issue.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
We are working hard on the college admissions issue as well.
I mean, I think that's also evident. We are. I
mean I personally sent out seventy five letters designed by
me to the top institutions of higher learning in the
United States. We are focusing on medical schools, law schools,
and undergraduate universities. I have conversations almost every day with
(24:47):
university council university presidents pleading their case and trying to
tell me why they're in compliance to students, refair admissions,
and other relevant precedents. So you're seeing that. I mean,
even before we fire a shot, these people are coming
to the table saying, look, we hired our own compliance counsel,
and we've done an audit and we're not doing that anymore,
(25:07):
and please don't know come after us. So the President's
policies and aggressive position on this have absolutely filtered down
and become crystal clear. I mean, in some cases people
lost their funding and other cases they're afraid of losing
their funding. And rightfully so, every contract involving federal funding
comes along with a promise and a covenant that the
(25:28):
recipient is following federal law. Most of these universities we're
not following federal law. We're not presuming that they aren't,
and they need to prove to us that they are
as they come into compliance. So I think you're going
to see a huge impact on college campuses now. They
are going to be stragglers. You've seen the incidents out
of like North Carolina for example. We're in some smaller
(25:49):
state schools they're trying to rebrand. I was having a
longer discussion with somebody earlier today. We have to understand
that people have gone to school and made their entire
careers on race huffs and getting these jobs as diversity
officers and being part of a whole diversity industrial complex,
and now that's been blown up wholesale. Naturally, they're fighting
(26:10):
for their careers. They don't want to learn how to
code or you know, do something else that's socially valuable,
and we're going to see some of these hiccups, but overall,
economically it does not pencil out for any school that
receives federal funding, which is almost every school in America
to be at odds with the federal government. And so
we're really actually quite pleased with the amount of compliance
(26:31):
for seeing in a very short time.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
A couple of things here Harmeat dillan Assistant Attorney General
for the Civil Rights Division, on Title nine protecting women
in sports. Peyton McNabb was the young girl's name who
was hit in the volleyball match. A couple of things
that I want to hit you with here and get
your thoughts first on the question about diversity and race
(26:55):
and basically the lack of a meritocracy and university admissions.
I've got a righte He's starting to do a lot
of his essays, as many kids out.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
There are doing.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I am seeing a lot of these top schools are
Meat and I'm sure you've seen this too. They're asking
essay questions that say, explain to us how your identity
has helped to create the world in which you are living.
I'm just kind of spitballing a question, but basically to
allow the essay to stand in as instead of checking
(27:30):
a box and examining it, they're finding out the race
of kids by that, which I think is something back door.
And then the second part here and I think this
builds on the question you were talking about, Scurmetti. So
I got a couple of angles here for you to
finish up. How do you think, both politically and legally
people are going to respond? If you are correct, and
(27:50):
I sign on to this opinion, Scurmetti, the trans medical
treatment case clearly is going to mean that boys and
girls can be separated in I think the Supreme Court
is going to rule that. Is it then going to
be over or do you think Democrats are going to
double triple, quadruple down on crazy and continue to fight
this or do you think they take a step back
(28:12):
and say, Supreme Court rule, let's move on because they
know it's bad politically.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
Look, I think it's a fad. Quite frankly, I think
it's a mass contagion and it's bad, and you know,
we have to be very strict about eradicating that and
keeping children safe. You must remember there has been a
time in our history, not that long ago. And you know,
even today, some people will die down the hill that
abortions in the ninth month should be perfectly legal and normal,
you know, like that's actually when you pull it pretty
(28:37):
terrible in the polling. Most suplised human beings don't believe that.
But you know, we were led to believe that that's
a human right and everyone should be able to kill
their child.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
You know.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
So time circumstances do change, people move on to other
forms of perversion. I actually think all of these things
are a mass mind game that's designed to destroy our society.
Like you know, these are all forms of Marxism BLM
and and you thing a couple of bad cops to
destroy policing in our country is a form of Marxism.
(29:07):
Trying to destroy the very concept of sex is a
form of Marxism. And we must be vigilant about this
Marxism coming into our lives. It's completely at odds with
our philosophy of individual rights and human rights and civil
rights and our constitution, in our norms in our society,
and so you know, we have to be ever vigilant
on these issues. So I do think that things are
(29:29):
going to change. But there will be some fresh hell.
There will be some new crazy thing that we all
have to join arms and fight, and hopefully our society
is strong enough to fight it. The lawyers are strong
enough to fight it. They haven't all been disbarred. People
have the courage. There's a good president that do all
things have to fall into place. And without these formula
(29:49):
falling into place, you have the Biden four years, you
have the Obama eight years. You have a look at
our healthcare system. Marxists have destroyed it. You have to
be rich to get healthcare in this country. Again, it's insane.
So you know, I just I'm glad that I'm here
in this time and being able to do my little part.
Whatever This job is by the most zellous civil rights
learn in the country. And the next Republican administration there'll
(30:11):
be different challenges.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
What do you think about the backdoor attempt to avoid
racial preference and use essays as a proxy to basically
allow them to get the same sort of results.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Yes, I'll go one step further. They're making people do
video segment video interviews, and that I mean a white
friend of mine applying for a master's program told you
had to do a one minute video segment to apply
for that program.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
One minute.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
What are you going to find out in one minute?
What race he is and what ender he is?
Speaker 6 (30:41):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, nonsense.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
But what we're looking at is the data. Like they
can have whatever fake tricks they want at the front end.
If the data shows that their numbers haven't materially changed
in light of students repair admissions, there's your evidence.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
That's awesome. Good work.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, thank you, Herbet, We appreciate you.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
Yep, thanks for having me. Thanks guys. Bye.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
It's doing great work. And those are important battles and
I'm seeing it right now going through the college admissions
process buck for the first time since nineteen ninety six,
so I haven't looked at the college. My oldest son
is a senior, so we're going to see how that
plays out. In the meantime, it's always good to have

The Team forty seven podcasts Trump highlights from the week
Somedays at noon Eastern in the Clay and Bug podcast
Speed find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We got a lot
of you weighing in on a variety of different topics.
Producer Greg, if you will update me on all those
audio that we should hit but in the meantime, HH
Stephen in Syracuse, New York, which got for US.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Crime in DC, he should bust out the Gold Cape
and go full crime fighter on it.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Love you guys, b bust out the Gold Craper if
you missed it. Trump says he's going to go on
the run around, the ride around more accurately with some
of the DC police. Uh Don in California also weighing
in on that this is II.
Speaker 10 (33:08):
Hey, Clay and Buck gets done from California. Yeah, I
just saw it on Fox News. I don't think Trump
should have like announced that he's gonna be doing this
this walk around. There's too many crazies. I don't even
know why he's doing that because it's a security risk.
But you know it's Trump. You know he'll do it.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, I mean, we talked about this off air. I
presume that Trump is going to be in quite the
protective bubble. I don't think they're gonna have him kicking
kicking doors in and yelling out warrants.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Although can you just just just imagine, just for the
sake of fun, for the sake of fun, okay, could
you imagine if Trump actually like gotten the stack somewhere
he was like, you better open this door. You don't
want me swinging swinging the battering ram. It's gonna be
very loud, very very bad for you. If I swing
the battering ram, be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Trump Putting somebody in cuffs would also be really really funny.
And also what outfit is he gonna wear? Is he
gonna wear the tie and like a bulletproof vest over it?
Like I don't know, like you did for the McDonald's
Bob and Katie Texas Gigi.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
And then we'll get some of your calls.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Hey, Clayon, Buck, this is Bob from Katie Texas. I
think this is going to be the same mistake as
Coca Cola made and went back to the Coca Cola Classics.
So I think what we're going to see is that
Cracker Barrel is going to go back to Cracker Barrel Classic.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
A lot of you weighing in on Cracker Barrel, including
Richard down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, not far from where
Buck is.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Richard, what you got for us?
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah, good afternoon. Technically I was born and raised in
Hollywood of Florida. And two thumbs up Buck for going
to Highlands North Carolina. I've been going there for over
forty years. My parents used to own a home in
Highlands Falls Country Club. And the whole reason I went
to Cracker Barrel on the way up on the way
back was for the old Southern style country food clay,
(35:05):
I mean, and I sat next to many many black
Americans in that restaurant. We would have wonderful conversations, and
most of them were conservative. And I say, I hope
they lose all their freaking business because they've lost their
minds Okay Free Store, which is fantastic where you could
buy sodas and candies that you can't find anymore in
(35:27):
any of the stores. It was great. And the rocking
chairs to sit out front when you're waiting in line
to get your table. I mean, they've lost their minds, man,
They're crazy.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Thank you for the call. Podcast listener, Kristen Ee.
Speaker 11 (35:44):
Maybe Cracker Barrel should leave the old white guy on
the logo, take off the barrel and just call it
Crackers That great day.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Guys, Oh my goodness, what do you think the Cracker
Barrel CEO's day has been like buck since she went
on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
You think it's been a little bit of a rough
day for her.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Well, I mean there's a hole because the views not
on yet, is it? So what does she watch it?
There's no view. MSNBC's in disarray. I mean, there's not
a no Kings March going on in her neighborhood. And
she might even be running low on cat food. I
don't know what's going on with her. It could be
a tough one.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
What a moronic day. We'll be back to you tomorrow.
It's in the end of the weekend. We appreciate all
of you. Go subscribe to us on any social media
platform out there. You'll find me, you'll find Buck and
lots more coming tomorrow. Have fabulous days, fabulous fabulous.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
We'll see tomorrow.
Third hour of Clan Bought kicks off now and oh wait,
do we have some stories to share with you. We
have Trump saying that he is going to join law
enforcement on the streets of DC tonight. This if you
could come up with a better reality TV show, I
would want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I mean, I would watch the heck.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Out of a show, you know, President Trump, Cops, President Trump.
I mean, tell me that's not amazing television.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You know, this is a remarkable situation, Clay, because we
have the President. He is going to be out there
on the streets, so the media has to cover it.
And Trump on an episode of Cops. I mean, just
think about if SNL was actually trying to be funny.
This is Taylor made for it. You could have Trump
with some guy like, excuse me, sir, we know you're
(00:54):
in a gang.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
We know.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, no, now, be nice, don't be mean. We found
the block. Some people are saying at Glock nineteen in
your pants, not supposed to have it here, convicted felon. No,
Glock nineteen's for you. You know, we could see how
this would all work. It would be incredible entertainment. And
yet Trump is actually going out on this mission, with
the seriousness of the mission of trying to make DC safer,
(01:19):
make DC great again, I guess, and this is something
that I think is another moment where the Democrats are losing.
Let me let me give you an example of why
I think they are losing. Here is a journalist for
the Miami Herald. Okay, so let me set the scene. Clay,
(01:40):
did you see this one on the streets of DC.
You had a bunch of police and they pulled aside
a guy and federal agents detained him on the National
Mall and he tries to he resists arrest, and he's
screaming I think in Spanish. He's making quite a scene,
and he's saying, you know, I just want to be
with my family, please, I'm not a criminal. I just
(02:02):
want to be with my family. And there's video of this,
and immediately the DC journal industrial complex is, oh my gosh,
this is the Stazzi, you know, the East German secret
police on the streets of DC. This is like a
this is authoritarianism. This is terrible, terrible stuff. And then
one journalist, Julie Brown, she's I think since deleted this tweet,
(02:25):
but tweets her forever from the Miami Herald. His crying
hits me in the gut, and we will probably never
be told who he is, why he was stopped, or
if he was even here illegally.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Do you know how the story ends, Clay, I do know.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I did not see this tweet, but I'm just laughing
because it's just such a complete joke of a left
wing journal tweet.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I did not know that, but yes, continue, I do
know how this story ends.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Update I says sent a statement on this man's attention,
saying his name is David Perez Teofani. He was arrested
in Fairfax County in twenty twenty four and charged with
aggravated sexual battery against a minor under thirteen.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Ah bad stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
That.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, who is the journal who said that that picture
basically like rectors hit her in the gun?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Julie Brown so so alleged. Oh by the way, there
was a you know, alleged pedophile and that is the
proper term. I mean, this is what this guy is
accused of. Aarin, sorry that that's that guy. But now
I'm going to a journalist, a journalist who also was
commenting on this, he said, Aaron reischlinn Melnik as a
(03:45):
DC resident, This doesn't make me feel any safer. It
makes me want to stay the hell away from the
mall because I don't want to have to watch something
like this go down. Well, he's an accused aggravated pediph
you know, sexual assault pedophile.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
He has a.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Final order of removal already out on him. He has
entered the US illegally three times. So this guy is
a menaged to public safety, has come into the US
three times illegally, has no respect for our laws or
immigration laws whatsoever. But the DC journals are all shedding
(04:22):
tears about it. This is what they just keep running into,
this buzzsaw clay over and over again.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, and I think it's important let's share this report
because we talked about the data and what it's showing,
and I mentioned it earlier. But we're in a situation
where eight days now, I believe it is, there has
not been a murder in Washington, DC, and that basically
has never occurred in a summer that they can find
(04:48):
on the record. And we have a cut that I
shared from the from DC. This is the news laying
out exactly how much much crime has gone down. This
is cut six Jeff Abel on Fox forty five Baltimore
(05:08):
last night.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I believe cut six.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
When the National Guard hit the ground in Washington last week,
that city's crime fight went into overdrive. And now we're
seeing the impact and the dramatic reductions in crime with
the Guard on the ground. Crime is on the decline.
For the first time in a long time. DC has
gone seven days without a homicide. And that's not all.
(05:32):
Carjackings are down eighty three percent, robberies are down forty
six percent, carthef's down twenty one percent, and overall violent
crime is down twenty two percent. When you have these
kind of numbers going down, it basically says this is
a success, and that means people feel safer.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I mean, this is Trump's genius buck. He has wooked him.
And I think this is important because you grew up
in New York City and you can speak to this.
DC crime levels are at nineteen ninety New York City
crime levels. If the nation and I'm not saying New
York City is perfect, because I know a lot of
our WR listener WR listeners are still saying, hey, there's
(06:14):
a lot we can get better in New York City.
But if the nation had the crime rate of New
York City. Cities like Washington, d C, Memphis, Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
You can run through a whole litany of them would
all experience dramatic declines in violent crime. And as the
Washington Wall Street Journal put this morning or last night,
I was reading, you.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Know what percentage?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I think that yesterday Heather McDonald told us ninety four
percent of all people shot in DC or black ninety
four percent. So if you want to talk about who
is actually benefiting from Trump putting crime down by massive amounts,
it's over whelming lead the black residents of DC who
(07:02):
are overwhelmingly the victims of violent crime, and Democrats are
they don't really know what to do, buck because when
you start to see this be effective, letting it crime
continue looks like a choice.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Which is what it is. And then what do they do?
What does that mean? In cities across the country where
the Democrats have had one party rule for decades and
things have just been a mess and the crime rate
has been way too high. I think of Baltimore, a
place where I've spent considerable time, which should be geographically
(07:37):
and architecturally, at least in some areas of the downtown.
It should be a beautiful city, a thriving and beautiful city,
and it is a crime hell hole in some areas
and everyone knows it. And that shouldn't be acceptable in
America today, in a country that has the resources that
we do, in a country that has the capabilities the
(07:58):
law enforcement capabilities that we do. Is a function of
political will. Some of these politicians in some of these
cities have decided that not enforcing the law, and some
of the prosecutors are acting like politicians, even if they're
not necessarily elected in the same way. They've decided that
not enforcing the law is the choice that they will make.
(08:18):
Somehow that is better. And I think you've got a vision,
or you got to look into the view of someone
like Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles who just says
enforcing the law is targeting young black and brown men
and that's what's going on here. And we say, okay, well,
so what do we think if what Karen Bass, If
what Mayor Bass says is true, So then is the
(08:40):
answer we just don't enforce the law.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is that really where we're supposed to go?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Or or we absolutely minimize the degree to which we
enforce the law and punish serious criminals because of the
racial disparity in those committing crimes. Because I think people
just reject that now in large numbers across the country,
including my in places, who want to be saved, you know,
who want to be safer, who aren't breaking the law.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's to me where you go.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And I wish we had an honest media because when
you have a politician say, well, I'm concerned that if
we enforce the law, there's going to be too many
black and brown people arrested, which is New York, which
is what LA Mayor Karen Bass said, the immediate pushback is, Okay,
I understand that, but why should we privilege violent criminals
(09:28):
at the expense of the vast majority of black and
brown individuals who are not committing crimes. If you had
to decide who to inconvenience, call me crazy, I would
inconvenience the law breakers, and I would actually convenience the
people that are not breaking the law. And that's the
side of this equation that it's as if you can't
(09:49):
have that discussion because we want to protect people who
are innocent from people that are violent. I also think
this then becomes the real conversation, how did this happen?
Why have we just grown willing to pretend that basically
six percent of the population, young black men are committing
(10:12):
basically half of all crimes in America. And why have
we just decided that the parts of the city and
the parts of the state where those kids are most
likely to live, and I say kids because they tend
to be young men, that law and order just shouldn't
exist there. This is all very solvable, and I think
New York City is a great example of how to
(10:33):
solve it. And again, I'm not saying we're going to
be perfect. I wish we had a zero violent crime rate,
but you get the compustat data, you look at where
all the murders are happening, You flood police response in
those communities, you arrest violent criminals. What do you say,
stop frisk and questions, question and risk. Yeah, all over
(10:55):
the country and crime rate would collapse and the vast
majority of the lives that were saved would be black
and brown, in particular black, because they're the kids that
are getting killed. If you really think black lives matter.
What Trump is doing in Washington, DC, as president is
saying black lives matter more than maybe any president has
(11:16):
ever said, because he's actually trying to save black lives
by limiting violent crime, which overwhelmingly victimizes them. And this,
to your point, Buck, puts Democrats in a really tough
spot because basically they have to argue, well, we can't
actually enforce the law because too many people of the
wrong color get arrested when the law is enforced.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And I think that's a really tough argument to Well,
this is.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Why we always make the case and we've talked about
this for years now about the gender disparity and violent crime.
If the law is either good or it's not, the
fact that it is effectively almost only men who are
killing people doesn't mean that there's a gender bias. It
just means that's what's going on. And it's not the
duty of the law to uh try to you know,
(12:02):
equalize that between men and women. It so so this
is this is what we see and this is the
reality as it plays out. But I do think Trump
going out on patrol this could be amazing. Remember when
he did the McDonald's window through Oh yeah, yeah, and
and and all these journals and all the the lib
intelligence you were trying to criticize that.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Everyone's like, oh, it's kind of funny. Actually, it's kind
of like.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
It's kind of a great, uh, you know, photo op
and shows he's got a sense of humor and about
himself and everything else. And it's just it's amazing how
much they have thrown at Trump that he has been
able to turn around and just work to his advantage.
And yet again, I think on this DC crime thing,
(12:45):
they thought, oh my gosh, there's gonna be tanks on
the streets of DC and the militarization.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And it's good.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
That's what people who live in Los Angeles and New
York and and safe parts that you know, Ring d
C or outside you know, Chevy. That's what the Chevy
Chase reads are saying. And the McLean Virginia residents are
saying about this. It's not what people live in the
rough aarriers are saying about it. They're saying, clean up
my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
And again, what I've said from the get go is
I hope this continues. But can you imagine if a
month from now violent crimes down fifty percent in DC?
Why would this not work? This same plan in other
areas with similarly rates of violent crime. Why would this
not work in Memphis? Why would this not work in
Kansas City? Why would this not work in Louisville, Kentucky.
(13:30):
Like you can run through a lot of different cities Birmingham,
Alabama that have way too high of murder rates, a
lot of them not far Nashville, Tennessee, where I live.
I mean, I wish we had a lower violent crime rate.
Seems like a no brainer to me, And that is
really I think what scares democrats is if this works,
what do they do.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'll talk to you about Preborn for a moment. This
is a nonprofit saving the lives of tens of thousands
of babies every year. Last year alone, they saved more
than sixty five thousand unborn children, and this year they've
saved forty thousand unborn babies. Preborn's mission is to save
lives by presenting pregnant mothers who are contemplating an abortion
with a better alternative life for their unborn child, and
(14:13):
the team of people working at these Preborn clinics are
providing those pregnant moms with support, assistance, and a free
ultrasound so that they can meet the baby growing in
their womb. That ultrasound experience allows each mother to meet
and bond with her unborn child, hear the heartbeat, see
those tiny movements inside of her, and so often that's
the turning point. Preborn accomplishes this with just twenty eight
(14:34):
dollars per ultrasound. Please pro life people out there, they
need you. They get no government funding. Preborn is doing
what it can to save lives, but they need your help.
To donate securely. Dial pound two five zero, say the
keyword baby. You can set up to donate twenty eight
dollars a month and it's all tax deductible and it's
(14:55):
saving lives. That's donating securely by dialing pound two fifty
and saying the key word baby. Or got a preborn

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we are rolling
through the Thursday edition of the program. Right here are
so many different breaking news parts out there. I did
think Buck, we should play Wolf of Blitzer. You mentioned
(15:40):
the arrest of the individual there by the Washington Mall
who had got the charge of sexual assault against the minor.
This is how CNN to.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Minor under under twelve or under thirteen. I mean, yeah,
extra agriv That's why it's aggravated extreme. This is how
CNN covered it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Just in case you're still watching, CNN cut thirty Wolf Blitzer.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
And new video shows federal officers detaining a man on
the National Mall. We want to warn our viewers some
might find this video disturbing.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Watch this.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
He was saying in Spanish he was here to work
and not to be arrested. A Homeland Security Department spokesperson
said the man is undocumented from Mexico and was arrested before.
But NBC four here in Washington is reporting that a
person with the same name who faced similar charges had
them dropped without prosecution.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I just think that.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You, really, you, all of you out there listening to
us right now. I think we do a pretty good
job of tell telling you stories that matter and letting
you contextualize how they're being reported out there. I think
there are huge news deserts. What I would call it
that here, almost none of the story like we shared, Hey,
(17:14):
this was a guy who was arrested that had an
outstanding warrant for a sexual assault allegation on someone under
thirteen years old. If you're a cn enviewer, do you
hear that? If you're a New York Times reader, do
you read it? Washington Post? The way that these stories
are being covered are very dishonest. And I wonder how
(17:34):
many people out there are even aware that the DC
violent crime rate is collapsing, because a lot of times
when stories like these happen, they just pretend that the
data doesn't reflect what is actually true, which is more
cops out on the street. Makes us all saber. We'll
take some of your calls. We'll play some of your
talk backs in the meantime. NFL Season Prize Picks is

Speaker 1 (18:51):
All right, welcome back in everybody. We are joined now
by Harmey Dylon. She is Assistant Attorney General for the
Civil Rights Division in the Trump Justice Department. Harmy, thank
you for making time for us.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
Yes, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Let's jump right into it. I know you've got a
lot as part of your portfolio, if you will, at
the Civil Rights Division, which, unfortunately, just for everyone's benefit
out there, before Trump had come along in this administration,
had been even through I think Republican administrations, a particularly
woke part of.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
The DJ which we can get into that a second.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Let's first, though, tell us how you are working to
protect women in sports and Title nine and how that
is playing out.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
Well, this is the top priority of the administration. You've
seen the president's executive orders on a number of issues,
and particularly touching on these DEI issues. And I think
one of the most important civil rights issues of our
time is the way that women's rights are being systematically
abridged by men pretending to be women and taking their trophies,
(19:56):
destroying their dreams, and eradicating their opportunityies to compete for
scholarships and win. So that's a big issue for us.
It also actually crosses over a little bit on the
other side. We've seen girls who think they're boys violating
the privacy rights of boys, like you've seen in Loudon County.
That is equally illegal, less of an issue numerically, but
(20:18):
you know, profoundly impacts the young men who had affect.
So this Department of Justice has gone to court. We
sent letters to California, which is doing this. We we're
in litigation with Maine and California now for both states
refusal to honor our legal guidance that girls should not
(20:41):
have to compete with boys, and so we're seeing that
play out around the country.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I appreciate you coming on, and I appreciate all the
work that you're doing. Obviously, we at OutKick, a company
that I used to own that Fox now owns, have
covered this aggressively, and we have a story up today.
I don't know if you've seen it yet. A the
six foot four ninth grade male has decided that he
wants to play women's volleyball and has made the team
(21:09):
as you would expect a six foot four man young
man might, and it's thrown the entire community, I'm told,
into an uproar, because the girls and their families are
rightfully pointing out that this is absolutely ridiculous. We've seen
in volleyball. In particular, if I remember correctly, Peyton, whose
last name is escaped me right now, actually got struck
(21:29):
by a man playing, jumping up, hitting the ball way
harder than a woman typically could. What should happen and
what is going to happen with all of these stories
which seem to be happening in pretty much every blue
state out there.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Well, look, the courts are going to have to step up,
and ultimately the United state. Supreme Court is going to
have to rule on this issue and make it clear.
But increasingly I think courts are agreeing with us, and
you know, Supreme Court and it's ruling.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
In the.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Gender surgery case in Tennessee actually did make a very
clear pronouncement there that gender identity is not the same
thing as sex, and that's the first time you've seen
that kind of a clear guidance from the Supreme Court.
The case is Scremeti, which is the name of the
(22:19):
Attorney General in Tennessee, and so that's, you know, I
think the Court I think made itself very clear in
that case. We're just going to have to have court
cases to make these states pay attention. What's so interesting
for me, as you know, I came from the political world,
and now I've of course taken out that political hat.
I'm just a lawyer. But politically it seems insane that
(22:42):
this is the hill that people are planning to die on.
Because the constituency affected by these ludicrous anti science and
anti civil rights positions is a tiny one, but it's
just a massive amount of virtue signaling, and it's I
think actually not very popular in the country numerically, so
I don't understand why people are dying on the film.
But regardless, we believe it isn't a matter of how
(23:03):
many girls are affected. If anyone girl's civil rights are violated,
it's a problem for all Americans.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
We're speaking everybody to Harmony Dylan, Assistant Attorney General for
Civil Rights Division at DOJ, and har meet. One area
where I keep seeing this, here's the storyline. Essentially, the
Supreme Court has weighed in on racial preferences in college admissions,
and yet time and again I am seeing people who
(23:30):
are claiming, either from direct knowledge or indirect knowledge of
the admissions process, that schools are just ignoring this and
continuing to do what they've always done because they think
that that ruling from the Supreme Court doesn't apply to them.
What can you tell us about this? Is this something
that the administration is going to be tackling more? And
(23:51):
you know, is this something that we can expect action
on what we are I.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Mean, I just told you we are tackling it. I
don't know how we could tackle it harder. We are
tackling it everywhere. Can hands you know a loud In
County case is something that's that fact pattern is underway.
The young men are privately represented, but you know, stay
tuned in that court. And there are four other counties
in Virginia right here in our backyard that are similarly
(24:15):
giving the middle finger to the federal and federal law
and running roughshot over his right.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So no, I'm talking about college admissions harmony. I'm talking
about the college admissions issue, not the gender issue.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
We are working hard on the college admissions issue as well.
I mean, I think that's also evident. We are. I
mean I personally sent out seventy five letters designed by
me to the top institutions of higher learning in the
United States. We are focusing on medical schools, law schools,
and undergraduate universities. I have conversations almost every day with
(24:47):
university council university presidents pleading their case and trying to
tell me why they're in compliance to students, refair admissions,
and other relevant precedents. So you're seeing that. I mean,
even before we fire a shot, these people are coming
to the table saying, look, we hired our own compliance counsel,
and we've done an audit and we're not doing that anymore,
(25:07):
and please don't know come after us. So the President's
policies and aggressive position on this have absolutely filtered down
and become crystal clear. I mean, in some cases people
lost their funding and other cases they're afraid of losing
their funding. And rightfully so, every contract involving federal funding
comes along with a promise and a covenant that the
(25:28):
recipient is following federal law. Most of these universities we're
not following federal law. We're not presuming that they aren't,
and they need to prove to us that they are
as they come into compliance. So I think you're going
to see a huge impact on college campuses now. They
are going to be stragglers. You've seen the incidents out
of like North Carolina for example. We're in some smaller
(25:49):
state schools they're trying to rebrand. I was having a
longer discussion with somebody earlier today. We have to understand
that people have gone to school and made their entire
careers on race huffs and getting these jobs as diversity
officers and being part of a whole diversity industrial complex,
and now that's been blown up wholesale. Naturally, they're fighting
(26:10):
for their careers. They don't want to learn how to
code or you know, do something else that's socially valuable,
and we're going to see some of these hiccups, but overall,
economically it does not pencil out for any school that
receives federal funding, which is almost every school in America
to be at odds with the federal government. And so
we're really actually quite pleased with the amount of compliance
(26:31):
for seeing in a very short time.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
A couple of things here Harmeat dillan Assistant Attorney General
for the Civil Rights Division, on Title nine protecting women
in sports. Peyton McNabb was the young girl's name who
was hit in the volleyball match. A couple of things
that I want to hit you with here and get
your thoughts first on the question about diversity and race
(26:55):
and basically the lack of a meritocracy and university admissions.
I've got a righte He's starting to do a lot
of his essays, as many kids out.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
There are doing.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I am seeing a lot of these top schools are
Meat and I'm sure you've seen this too. They're asking
essay questions that say, explain to us how your identity
has helped to create the world in which you are living.
I'm just kind of spitballing a question, but basically to
allow the essay to stand in as instead of checking
(27:30):
a box and examining it, they're finding out the race
of kids by that, which I think is something back door.
And then the second part here and I think this
builds on the question you were talking about, Scurmetti. So
I got a couple of angles here for you to
finish up. How do you think, both politically and legally
people are going to respond? If you are correct, and
(27:50):
I sign on to this opinion, Scurmetti, the trans medical
treatment case clearly is going to mean that boys and
girls can be separated in I think the Supreme Court
is going to rule that. Is it then going to
be over or do you think Democrats are going to
double triple, quadruple down on crazy and continue to fight
this or do you think they take a step back
(28:12):
and say, Supreme Court rule, let's move on because they
know it's bad politically.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
Look, I think it's a fad. Quite frankly, I think
it's a mass contagion and it's bad, and you know,
we have to be very strict about eradicating that and
keeping children safe. You must remember there has been a
time in our history, not that long ago. And you know,
even today, some people will die down the hill that
abortions in the ninth month should be perfectly legal and normal,
you know, like that's actually when you pull it pretty
(28:37):
terrible in the polling. Most suplised human beings don't believe that.
But you know, we were led to believe that that's
a human right and everyone should be able to kill
their child.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
You know.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
So time circumstances do change, people move on to other
forms of perversion. I actually think all of these things
are a mass mind game that's designed to destroy our society.
Like you know, these are all forms of Marxism BLM
and and you thing a couple of bad cops to
destroy policing in our country is a form of Marxism.
(29:07):
Trying to destroy the very concept of sex is a
form of Marxism. And we must be vigilant about this
Marxism coming into our lives. It's completely at odds with
our philosophy of individual rights and human rights and civil
rights and our constitution, in our norms in our society,
and so you know, we have to be ever vigilant
on these issues. So I do think that things are
(29:29):
going to change. But there will be some fresh hell.
There will be some new crazy thing that we all
have to join arms and fight, and hopefully our society
is strong enough to fight it. The lawyers are strong
enough to fight it. They haven't all been disbarred. People
have the courage. There's a good president that do all
things have to fall into place. And without these formula
(29:49):
falling into place, you have the Biden four years, you
have the Obama eight years. You have a look at
our healthcare system. Marxists have destroyed it. You have to
be rich to get healthcare in this country. Again, it's insane.
So you know, I just I'm glad that I'm here
in this time and being able to do my little part.
Whatever This job is by the most zellous civil rights
learn in the country. And the next Republican administration there'll
(30:11):
be different challenges.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
What do you think about the backdoor attempt to avoid
racial preference and use essays as a proxy to basically
allow them to get the same sort of results.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Yes, I'll go one step further. They're making people do
video segment video interviews, and that I mean a white
friend of mine applying for a master's program told you
had to do a one minute video segment to apply
for that program.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
One minute.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
What are you going to find out in one minute?
What race he is and what ender he is?
Speaker 6 (30:41):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, nonsense.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
But what we're looking at is the data. Like they
can have whatever fake tricks they want at the front end.
If the data shows that their numbers haven't materially changed
in light of students repair admissions, there's your evidence.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
That's awesome. Good work.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, thank you, Herbet, We appreciate you.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
Yep, thanks for having me. Thanks guys. Bye.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
It's doing great work. And those are important battles and
I'm seeing it right now going through the college admissions
process buck for the first time since nineteen ninety six,
so I haven't looked at the college. My oldest son
is a senior, so we're going to see how that
plays out. In the meantime, it's always good to have

The Team forty seven podcasts Trump highlights from the week
Somedays at noon Eastern in the Clay and Bug podcast
Speed find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We got a lot
of you weighing in on a variety of different topics.
Producer Greg, if you will update me on all those
audio that we should hit but in the meantime, HH
Stephen in Syracuse, New York, which got for US.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Crime in DC, he should bust out the Gold Cape
and go full crime fighter on it.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Love you guys, b bust out the Gold Craper if
you missed it. Trump says he's going to go on
the run around, the ride around more accurately with some
of the DC police. Uh Don in California also weighing
in on that this is II.
Speaker 10 (33:08):
Hey, Clay and Buck gets done from California. Yeah, I
just saw it on Fox News. I don't think Trump
should have like announced that he's gonna be doing this
this walk around. There's too many crazies. I don't even
know why he's doing that because it's a security risk.
But you know it's Trump. You know he'll do it.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, I mean, we talked about this off air. I
presume that Trump is going to be in quite the
protective bubble. I don't think they're gonna have him kicking
kicking doors in and yelling out warrants.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Although can you just just just imagine, just for the
sake of fun, for the sake of fun, okay, could
you imagine if Trump actually like gotten the stack somewhere
he was like, you better open this door. You don't
want me swinging swinging the battering ram. It's gonna be
very loud, very very bad for you. If I swing
the battering ram, be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Trump Putting somebody in cuffs would also be really really funny.
And also what outfit is he gonna wear? Is he
gonna wear the tie and like a bulletproof vest over it?
Like I don't know, like you did for the McDonald's
Bob and Katie Texas Gigi.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
And then we'll get some of your calls.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Hey, Clayon, Buck, this is Bob from Katie Texas. I
think this is going to be the same mistake as
Coca Cola made and went back to the Coca Cola Classics.
So I think what we're going to see is that
Cracker Barrel is going to go back to Cracker Barrel Classic.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
A lot of you weighing in on Cracker Barrel, including
Richard down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, not far from where
Buck is.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Richard, what you got for us?
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah, good afternoon. Technically I was born and raised in
Hollywood of Florida. And two thumbs up Buck for going
to Highlands North Carolina. I've been going there for over
forty years. My parents used to own a home in
Highlands Falls Country Club. And the whole reason I went
to Cracker Barrel on the way up on the way
back was for the old Southern style country food clay,
(35:05):
I mean, and I sat next to many many black
Americans in that restaurant. We would have wonderful conversations, and
most of them were conservative. And I say, I hope
they lose all their freaking business because they've lost their
minds Okay Free Store, which is fantastic where you could
buy sodas and candies that you can't find anymore in
(35:27):
any of the stores. It was great. And the rocking
chairs to sit out front when you're waiting in line
to get your table. I mean, they've lost their minds, man,
They're crazy.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Thank you for the call. Podcast listener, Kristen Ee.
Speaker 11 (35:44):
Maybe Cracker Barrel should leave the old white guy on
the logo, take off the barrel and just call it
Crackers That great day.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Guys, Oh my goodness, what do you think the Cracker
Barrel CEO's day has been like buck since she went
on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
You think it's been a little bit of a rough
day for her.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Well, I mean there's a hole because the views not
on yet, is it? So what does she watch it?
There's no view. MSNBC's in disarray. I mean, there's not
a no Kings March going on in her neighborhood. And
she might even be running low on cat food. I
don't know what's going on with her. It could be
a tough one.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
What a moronic day. We'll be back to you tomorrow.
It's in the end of the weekend. We appreciate all
of you. Go subscribe to us on any social media
platform out there. You'll find me, you'll find Buck and
lots more coming tomorrow. Have fabulous days, fabulous fabulous.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
We'll see tomorrow.
