Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Bucks XtN Show podcast.

Welcome on in second hour of the Clay Travis and Bucks XtN Show. Cities are having a rough one.

Last couple of years, all of the country. I know we have listeners in cities all over America,

so you know what I'm talking about. Crime rates way up. We often focus on the violent crime issue.

We'll get to some of that in a moment, but also the day-to-day quality of life crimes and

the cleanliness of streets. The ability to walk down the street and not step over needles that have

prison for decades for drug use and not encouraging them to shoot up heroin and broad daylight

in front of school children. There are middle grounds. There are things that can be done. And I think

one of the big lies that was told by the defund the police and mass incarceration Democrats

You're seeing this in San Francisco. I even play I tweeted about this last week. It was a

fascinating exercise and how there's a left wing mindset that they want to go and defend any kind

of criminality as just suck it up deal with it. Why is it a big deal? In New York, you have these

they're not even really biker gangs because they're on ATVs like the kind that some of you do
