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

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in our number three Clay

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: out with us, including our new friends in Seattle. Yes,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: we are here to shine a light in what has

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: been a dark period. I think it's fair to say

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: of the Pacific Northwest history, not just Seattle, but also Portland.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Everything has fallen apart up there in the last several years.

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: So we are here to help fight for sanity for you. Guys.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. And we've

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: been talking about a fantastic study. In fact, we opened

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: the show a couple of hours ago discussing an analysis

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: that had been done of the health related issues schooling

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: for children and the economic impact of shutdowns, lockdowns, whatever

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: you want to classify them as. And one of the authors,

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: one of the three authors of that study is Universe

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: of Chicago economist Casey Mulligan, and he joins us. Now,

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: fantastic work that you guys did. Casey sort of take

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: us into the methodology. How long did you spend putting

20
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: together all of this data and what were your overall conclusions.

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: For people who may not have read this study, it's

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: up at clayinbuck dot com. You can read in the

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, it's up at OutKick, It's all over

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: the place. It's spreading like crazy. Congratulations on the work.

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Take us into your methodology. Yeah, we wanted to look

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: at each of the states independently because we had kind

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: of a federal system where governors and even mayors had

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: a lot of say so instead of the federal government directing.

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: So we thought we could learn by comparing the different states.

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Also the District of Columbia, so we have fifty one

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: and we look at measured their mortality from COVID and generally,

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: we measured their economic activity by their GDP and their

33
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: unemployment rate, and then we measured schooling, which was how

34
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: many of the public schools were open. And interestingly, there

35
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: was really no relationship between having a vibrant economy and

36
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: having lots of deaths. People thought maybe that if you

37
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: let your economy be open, like maybe Florida did, you

38
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: would get extra deaths from That doesn't really bear out

39
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: really at all. The one exception being Hawaii. Of course,

40
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: it's an island, unlike our other states, they really did isolate.

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: Their economies in bad shape even as we speak, but

42
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: their mortality has been a lot lower. So WHI was

43
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: able to they gave up a lot, They were able

44
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: to get something. But otherwise these states, typically blue states,

45
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: they gave up a lot of economic activity, didn't get

46
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: better health for it. So can you tell me this one?

47
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: How did How are I should say people coming at

48
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: your study, casey, I mean, what are they saying? How

49
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: are the I always find it's useful in these moments

50
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: to look for what the critiques are so we can

51
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: know what your response would be, right, I mean I

52
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: mentioned before just from a quick read, state by this

53
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: isn't a critique of the study, but state by state

54
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: you always will hear people say, well, you know, South

55
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: Dakota has a per square resident level approaching you know, Polynesia, Right,

56
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's not a very well populated place,

57
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: so it's not fair to compare New York City to

58
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: South Dakota. But that's just more of the states and states,

59
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: and you do that with all the different places. You

60
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: do what are the criticisms of the study and what

61
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: are your responses to them? Because as you know, this

62
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: is a very con tentious topic. Why I think you're

63
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: you raised, But I think it's the number one concern,

64
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: which would be the population density that you have states,

65
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: and they also tend to be blue, where the populations

66
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: densely packed in there, New York, New Jersey. And you

67
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: wou seem that the disease would spread quickly, And we

68
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: agree that the disease would tend to spread quickly at first,

69
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: but we measured everything over two years, so the virus

70
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: had plenty of time to make it to rural areas

71
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: in fact, it did in fact. And then this is

72
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: we're not the first ones to find this. Scholars of

73
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: disease have always always had a trouble finding cities to

74
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: do worse, at least in a modern area era. For

75
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: cities to do worse, they do it first, But it's

76
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: mainly an issue of timing. The rural areas tend to

77
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: get these diseases just at a later point in time,

78
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: and where we have the luxury now two years out

79
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: of looking at that. We're talking to University of Chicago

80
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: economist Casey Mulligan, who wrote a fantastic one of the

81
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: co authors of a fantastic study getting a lot of

82
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: attention today across the media landscape. All right, So, Casey,

83
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: based on the data that you have seen, both health,

84
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: schooling for children and also overall economic impact, we were

85
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: fortunate to have effectively thanks to federalism. Shout out, shout

86
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: out to the founders back in the day who recognized

87
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: the value of federalism. And this is one of the

88
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: greatest I can imagine laboratories that we've ever had for federalism.

89
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, fifty one different localities if you count Washington, DC,

90
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: all implementing some version of different policies. As it pertains

91
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: to COVID, Casey, if you based on the data that

92
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: you've looked at sort of exhaustively studied here, what was

93
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: the best response? This is one of the things that

94
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: as we come out of COVID, What did we learn

95
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: from the way that we responded to it. What was

96
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: the best possible decision that could have been made? What

97
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: state and or states did the best job based on

98
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: your data in balancing all of these different competing equities. Well,

99
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: keeping schools open very clear now, I think it was

100
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: pretty clear early on, but we all can admit now

101
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: that closing the schools didn't help, maybe even hurt. Yeah,

102
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: disease may spread less in schools. This particular disease may

103
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: spread less in the schools than it does, say, at home,

104
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: because the kids have to go somewhere, of course, So

105
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: we just put a huge burden on kids and really

106
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: no dividend from that at all. I think that's pretty clear.

107
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 1: You know your top states and having schools open. Wyoming

108
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: had all the public schools open for the full academic

109
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: year that we looked at. Florida was very high on that,

110
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: Arkansas also high, and your Blue states were quite low.

111
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Hawaii was one of those that had their schools closed

112
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: a lot. I think that makes no sense. I understand

113
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: their idea of closing the islands from the rest of

114
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: the world, But you got your island closed. Why can't

115
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: you have the schools open um there are no cases

116
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: on your island. Why why do the kids need to

117
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: stay at home? So very good question, Casey, And we're

118
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna put a link up at clayinbuck dot com to

119
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: your your work. Here a final report card on the

120
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: state's response to COVID nineteen by Phil Kirpin, Stephen Moore,

121
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: and Casey B. Mulligan. That'll be up at clayinbuck dot com. Shortly,

122
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: we'll put up the link, Casey to your actual studies

123
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: so both can see it for themselves. I think it's

124
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: important they have access to the you know, Themary source

125
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: material in case they have some agitated lib neighbor who

126
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: wants to say this isn't even the thing. So that's

127
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: a great way to get it out there. Thank you

128
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: so much for being with us, Casey. We appreciate it,

129
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: my pleasure. You know, Clay, he's not the only one

130
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: these days who's making the case. A lot of people

131
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: out there are starting to and I mean by the numbers.

132
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: We you and I make the case based on reason, logic,

133
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: and experience, but some folks and you like data a lot.

134
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, there are true data nerds. This is

135
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: all they do, and they're looking at you know, they're

136
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: not talking about the things we talk about all day,

137
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: and they're looking at the numbers and they recognize so

138
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: much of this has just gotten to be and there's

139
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: not really two sides to the argument anymore. Based on

140
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: the data. You can argue whatever you want, but when

141
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, it's clear that when you

142
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: have study after study showing little to know and sometimes

143
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: even negative efficacy for some of these measures. Like there

144
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: was a recent masking in schools study that showed for

145
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: some reason, schools I think it wasn't in Denmark. I

146
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: think it was schools in Denmark massed up and the

147
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: one that didn't mask up actually had lower COVID ten

148
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: to twelve age group. But here's the New York Times

149
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: is On New York Times is David Leonhart, who started

150
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: to be one of these. He's kind of a lib

151
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: COVID whisperer in the sense that he's like, hey, guys,

152
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: maybe you should start to live in reality a little

153
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: bit instead of this other fauci crazy place. Here's what

154
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: he says. There are all kinds of things that liberal

155
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: America is doing at a very good instinct that make

156
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: very little difference, and that the vaccines really work and

157
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: save lives, and by not taking them, conservatives or damaging

158
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: themselves and damaging the country. And the word you use,

159
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: balance I think is perfect. I think conservatives haven't taken

160
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: COVID nearly seriously enough, and I think liberals, if we're

161
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: being honest about this, has some performative aspects of the

162
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: COVID response wearing masks because it feels like a badge

163
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: of I'm a progressivet even though a lot of those masks,

164
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: particularly with omicron, which is so contagious, are doing very

165
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: little to protect people. I'm not antima. We're one. If

166
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: you go into a nursing home, if you go into

167
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: an hospital, wear a can ninety five or an ninety five.

168
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: But don't think that these mask mandids where you wear

169
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: some cloth mask into a restaurant and then you take

170
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: it off so you can eat, is doing any So

171
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: can I just say that, I mean, obviously some our

172
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: audience is sitting You're saying, actually, there's a lot that

173
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I would criticize, and I would too, but this is

174
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: the only He's a New York Times, he's from the

175
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: high temple of leftism, folks, and he's saying cloth masters

176
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: stupid and do he says very little. It's actually nothing.

177
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: The answer is actually zero. It's it's not twenty percent

178
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: or ten percent. It's zero reduction that they can actually

179
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: show statistically. But that's about as strong as you're going

180
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: to get from The New York Times to admit, yeah,

181
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: it was. It was silly, and by the way, I

182
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: would say that we have been first of all, pointing

183
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: out all of the absurdities of left wing but also

184
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: recognizing I want to continue to emphasize this buck you

185
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: and I told our dads and our moms and our

186
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: elderly relatives that they should get the COVID shot, right,

187
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: because if you're over the age of seventy, if you're

188
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: a senior citizen, the data reflects that you are under

189
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: particular danger from COVID. My kids are not going to

190
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: get the COVID shot. Yeah right, they're just not. We

191
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: are in the balance that they were talking about as

192
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: the point. Yeah, are exactly right. Yes, that's exactly right.

193
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: And I think our audience recognizes that, and we treat

194
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: them intelligently enough to say, Hey, if you're a healthy

195
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: twenty two year old listening to us right now, or

196
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: you've got a six year old, you don't treat that

197
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,119
Speaker 1: six year old the same way that you would grandpa

198
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: who's seventy nine years old or eighty six or whatever

199
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: your mom and dad and grandma and grandpa might be.

200
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: Everybody has different healthcare needs. And what we totally missed

201
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: throughout this entire process is that fact and it's the

202
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: essence of the way that we treat medicine for virtually

203
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: everything else. Right, the six year olds don't take blood

204
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: pressure medication because they don't need it, but you're eighty

205
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: five year old may well need it. Everybody's biochemist and

206
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: body is different. And that's why I think you have

207
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: to look at the data and make rational decisions based

208
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: on your own health choices. And we totally missed that

209
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: for the past two years. And I will say my

210
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 1: biggest because because I think it's so important that the

211
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: world always honest with everybody, My biggest fail during COVID

212
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: in terms of believing something that was turned out to

213
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: not be true, was in March April a year ago,

214
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: when they were saying the vaccine is ninety seven percent effective.

215
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: I largely believed that against that strain it would be

216
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: ninety seven percent effective and durable. Now, the entire medical

217
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: establishment seemed to go along with that. Whatever that turned

218
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: out not to be true, as we well know, and

219
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't preventative against infection. It lowered your risk of

220
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 1: severe disease. But I did I thought that it was

221
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, super protective in the initial

222
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: phases and we started to have Alex on in June

223
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: and July together day show and said, hold on a second,

224
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: what's really going on here? We change, or I should

225
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: say I change. I won't speak for you. I change

226
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: with the data in terms of how protective I thought

227
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: it would be. But it's amazing me. I have psycho

228
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: libs come after me online. You know, why do you

229
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: tell everybody not to get to vaccine. I'm like, I don't,

230
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: you don't. They don't have no idea what they're talking about.

231
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: They don't know what I think, what I say. The

232
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: obviously don't listen to this show. I mean, my dad

233
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: was freezing his butt off in the cold in the

234
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: middle of Staten Island to be online to get the

235
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: shot in March of twenty twenty. And I remember I

236
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: called them. I called them my show at the time,

237
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: and I said, I think you're doing the right thing.

238
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: I think this is worth it for you to get

239
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: not antiaccine thing. I said the same thing to my

240
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: parents buck And in fact, when Florida was distributing the

241
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: first days of the vaccine, remember when Rhonda Santis was

242
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: getting criticized because he said, no, no, we're distributing the

243
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: vaccine to the elderly first, and you had to be

244
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: over sixty five or whatever it was to get the shot. Correct.

245
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: Remember this, this is actually really this is really important, folks.

246
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: There was a big fight, and I knew about this

247
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: in the White House in the very end of the

248
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: Trump presidency. There was a fight going on because Fauci

249
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: and the bureaucrats wanted to go to frontline healthcare workers first. Actually,

250
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: and what we found out is it's not effective against

251
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: transmission prevention. Frontline healthcare workers are overwhelmingly not in their

252
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: late sixties, seventies, and eighties, So they did the wrong

253
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: thing even with who should get the vaccine first. And

254
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: by the way, frontline healthcare workers had almost all been

255
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: exposed to COD. So what I said was they were

256
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: giving it out to anybody. It turned into kind of

257
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: an issue where people were traveling to Florida who were

258
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: over sixty five to get this thing. We've got a

259
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: place in Florida, and so I was like, well, I

260
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: don't know how long it's going to take you to

261
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: get the shot in Tennessee. Ended up not taking very long,

262
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: but I was like, if you guys want to use

263
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: our place down in Florida to stay there for a

264
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: couple of months. You can go over to Public's and

265
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: they're giving the shot out to anybody over the age

266
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: of sixty five. And that was one hundred percent the

267
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: right thing to do. And by the way, it's the

268
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: right thing to do if you're over sixty five and

269
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: certainly you have health related concerns, you should be concerned

270
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: about COVID. Anybody under sixty five, the data doesn't reflect that.

271
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: That's very true. Yep. Just looking at the reality, folks.

272
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: Some financial experts are suggesting there's a recession headed our way.

273
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: It's that much more important to do everything we can

00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Clay Anne Buck rolling through third hour.

291
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you more here in just a couple

292
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: of minutes about the situation of inflation in the country.

293
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: It's looking like it's going to be rough, and also

294
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Biden Hunter, Biden's laptop situation and all that and more.

295
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: But first I gonna say, like, maybe inflations like not

296
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: that bad, because like maybe you should inflate things, like

297
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: when you need a raft in the pool, Clay, what

298
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: do you do? You inflate it. Jensaki is here telling

299
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: us that inflations like not gonna be good tomorrow, guys.

300
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: But it's Putin's fault. So because of the actions we've

301
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: taken to address put the Putin price hike, we are

302
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: in a better place than we were last month. But

303
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: we expect March CPA CPI headline inflation to be extraordinarily

304
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: elevated due to Putin's price hike. Putin's price hyke class.

305
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: This is such a lie. I mean, first of all,

306
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: inflation was seven point nine percent essentially before anything happened

307
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: in Ukraine, right, I mean the numbers were baked in

308
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: only a few days in the last CPI number had

309
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: anything at all to do with Ukraine and Russia. They

310
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: tried to argue the seven point nine percent was somehow

311
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: created and connected to Putin. This is even more duplicitous

312
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: of an answer here, because there is going to be

313
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: no basis in fact for why we are at another

314
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: forty year high that it's because of Putin. It's because

315
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: of United States issues now and by the way, global issues.

316
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: But certainly our inflation issues are not suddenly arising because

317
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: of what happened in Ukraine and Russia. Could it be

318
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: a bit worse because of that, yes, but not a

319
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: bit worse to take us to a forty year high.

320
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: I think you're forgetting that what you do when you

321
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: have a flat tire, you inflate it. Sake wants to

322
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: have a word with you. Oh my god, she's going

323
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: to MSNBC. I'm gonna get paid tens of millions of dollars,

324
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: probably based on performances like that. Look, we want you

325
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: to sit in the most comfortable chairs imaginable because guess what,

326
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot of you right now have home offices. Maybe

327
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: you're using different places to work from than normal. And

328
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: when you're sitting in a chair all day, trust me,

329
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: what it feels like matters in a massive way. And

330
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: that is why you need heat and cold in your back,

331
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: You need dynamic lumbar support. All of that can come

332
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: from the X chair, which is the greatest chair that

333

339
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show. I hate to be the bearer

340
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: of bad news, but we told you this was going

341
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: to happen. Some of you out there say, I don't

342
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: know why you guys keep fighting battles over COVID masking

343
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: and everything else, move on to other issues. And what

344
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm here to say is they're not going to let

345
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: go of COVID. They aren't. We are going to have

346
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: to kick their ass so bad in November that they

347
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: don't have any other options because they are going to

348
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: hold on to COVID with every fiber of their being.

349
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: And COVID restrictions are not going away, even if they

350
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: temporarily disappear, They're always there looming in the background. Doctor

351
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Fauci is the is the villain that is hiding underneath

352
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: your bed. He's the Boogeyman. He's not ever going away.

353
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna pop up smurflike with a mask on, yelling

354
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: at you no matter what. And I hate to say it,

355
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: but if you're listening in the Philadelphia area, they just

356
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: announced in the last fifteen minutes that they are bringing

357
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: back their mask mandate. And now the question is going

358
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: to be buck will Washington, d C? Follow? Will New

359
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: York City follow La San Francisco, Seattle where we have

360
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: a new affiliate, sorry Seattle people, to bring you this news.

361
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: When left wing cities start to make a move like this,

362
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: what has been the pattern is other left wing cities

363
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: follow right along, Washington, d C. Just a little bit

364
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: south of Philly, New York City just a little bit north.

365
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: The mayors of those places Bowser in DC and Adams

366
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: in New York City buck, you know, they get jealous

367
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: of their of their restrictive counterpart in Philly. Let's also

368
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: they know that by compare Harrison, right, if you're London breed,

369
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: if you're Eric Adams, if you're um Lori lightfoot, or uh,

370
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: what's the Garcetti? And still look, well we spent a

371
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: lot of time, we got a lot of mayors. Now, yeah,

372
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: but garcetti if you're any of these mayors. And after

373
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: the Philly mayor shuts down or I shouldn't they shuts down,

374
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: but implements masking. Again, it's like, hey, do you not

375
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: take the virus seriously? You know? That's that then becomes

376
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: the logic of the position, which is why the dominoes

377
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: for the Democrats, for this lunacy keep falling, because that's

378
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: why comparison. You don't if you've been a lockdowner all along,

379
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: why take the heat now when others are already taking

380
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: more restrictive measures, And they continue with all the ridiculous lies.

381
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: We just played you Saki trying to blame Vladimir Putin

382
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: for inflation in the United States. Well, the Putin price hike,

383
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: as she said, Also, Kamala Harris wasn't wearing her mask indoors,

384
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: and as with other Democrats who were caught violating their

385
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: own rules, there's always an excuse. In this case. It

386
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: was a really historic moment. Guys. Remember the photos get taken. Oh, well,

387
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: I was just for a photo. All of the lies

388
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: continue to build. The COVID hypocrisy doesn't die here. Saki

389
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: defending Kamala, he said on Friday that the Vice president

390
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: was masked indoors all day, but the White House tweeted

391
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: a video showing her standing over the president the out

392
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: a mask on an you explaining what happened there. Well,

393
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: I would say that the Vice President and the President

394
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: and all of us abide by what the CDC protocols are.

395
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: It was an emotional day, it was a historic day,

396
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: and there were moments when she was not wearing a

397
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: mask inside, including in a photo. But she was wearing

398
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: at ninety nine point nine percent of the time. Clay,

399
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: excuse me. The virus knows that, like when really important

400
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: people are taking like really important photos. The virus is like,

401
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: hold on a second, like, I don't want to mess

402
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: that up. I mean, imagine knowing every moment. That is

403
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: her answer. By the way, every moment in that of

404
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: public availability, there is going to be footage to reflect

405
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: whether you had a mask on or not. So when

406
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: Saki lied and said, oh, Kamala Harris had a mask

407
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: on the entire time, and then all you have to

408
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: do is just go, well, actually, look at this photo,

409
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: look at this video. It's the willfulness of the wise.

410
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: They are not afraid of COVID, right, they aren't afraid

411
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: even Biden, who probably should be afraid because he's seventy

412
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: nine years old. Now, I will give Biden credit here

413
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: if they're being honest, how is it bucked that every

414
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: other White House official but Biden has gotten COVID? Does

415
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Biden have the greatest, uh, the greatest immune system on

416
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: the planet? Is kind of kind of ridiculous. Saki's tested

417
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: positive twice. It feels like every other White House official

418
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: has tested positive, not even once, multiple times, and suddenly

419
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: Biden and somehow Biden still has not tested positive. But

420
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: if anybody in the White House, we're going to be

421
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: nervous about COVID. It should be Joe Biden, who's seventy

422
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: nine years old and statistically would be at a far

423
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: higher rate of danger than almost anyone else in politics

424
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: other than Nancy Pelosi, by the way, who already has

425
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: recovered from COVID and had no issues whatsoever. I just

426
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: think that there's also in the background of all this, Clay,

427
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: looking at what I said before, I really mean, the

428
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: Democrats are not gonna go down without the dirtiest fight

429
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: possible in this mid term. So everyone needs to be

430
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: This is why we keep saying it's looking good, folks,

431
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: it's looking good because who wants you to be motivated?

432
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: But they're gonna do everything they can to pull out

433
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: at least enough key races that they can say that

434
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: it was not a repudiation. Wasn't that big? Remember, as

435
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: Clay has been saying, we need or reckoning a red wedding,

436
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: an absolute butt kicking. Can I say the a word

437
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: that we could say, ask kicking. I could be asking

438
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: about oh, well, hello, okay, and ask kicking, Oh that

439
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: felt good? Um? We need that this fall or else

440
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: even want to do the Bill Marshaw. I know I

441
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: can curse, I could even f bomb, and I'm like,

442
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: I can't, it's not with the people listening. And then

443
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: of course off air, I'm like, you know, bleepity, bleep, bleep. Anyway,

444
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: we need that, But Clay, we also need to understand

445
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: how COVID plays into the strategy. And I think that

446
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: as long as they keep some of the COVID rituals,

447
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: because that's what they are in place, you're gonna see

448
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: pushes for mail in balloting. You're gonna see pushes for

449
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: expanded voter times. All the different games they played the

450
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: last time to give them an edge. They're gonna do

451
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: the exact same stuff they're trying to pass. So what

452
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: does an HR one? I mean, they've tried to codify

453
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: it on the law, but they'll use emerging see measures

454
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: where they have a Democrat governor in a purple state, etc.

455
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: To basically try to tilt the playing field to them

456
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: again to cheat, but to cheat but within the rules

457
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: or within plausible rules, you know what I mean. The

458
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: great area, Yeah, the gray area of the law is

459
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 1: what they're going to try to take advantage of. And

460
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: there's a great piece by the way out today saying

461
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: and I know we got a lot of listeners in

462
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: each of these six states. I'm gonna try to get

463
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: it right. We'll talk about it maybe a little bit tomorrow,

464
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 1: because we had so many stories to hit today. I mean,

465
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: I got a list here. We barely got through half

466
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: of them. We got so much going on right now.

467
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty two election buck and the twenty twenty

468
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: four elections gonna come down to six states. That's it, right,

469
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: They're basically six states that are going to determine whether

470
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: or not we have a Democratic or a Republican Senate,

471
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: whether we have what happens in the South, and who

472
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: wins the presidential election in twenty twenty four. And those

473
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: six states, not surprisingly a lot of you can spend time,

474
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: you've thought about, you've analyzed it, But these six states,

475
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: everybody who's listening out there, everybody needs to make a

476
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: reckoning in twenty twenty two. But if you live in

477
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: these six states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Nevada,

478
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: if you live in those six states right now, you

479
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: are going to decide the trajectory of our country in

480
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four. Now, everybody else

481
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: in the other forty four states, you guys are going

482
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: to have a substantial impact as well, and it's important

483
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: for you to go out and vote. But those are

484
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: the six states that are going to decide Congress in

485
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: November and the presidential election in twenty twenty four. At

486
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: the upper at the most important level, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada.

487
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: We love all of you, but we particularly love you

488
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: if you live in those six states because you are

489
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: going to be deciding a lot. Clay is picking favorites

490
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: right now. I'm picking favorites right now. I don't like

491
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: to pick my favorites. But if you live in those

492
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: six states, you matter a little bit more. And by

493
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: the way, we're number one in Phoenix, We're number one

494
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, and we're number one in Las Vegas. Those

495
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: are three big markets that are going to have a

496
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: massive impact. Georgia, huge audience, Michigan and Pennsylvania as well.

497
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: But those three big markets, you guys listening right now,

498
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: get ready to matter on a different level. We got

499
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: to get people out to the polls, all right. When

500
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll close out the show. We appreciate

502
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: throughout the show with so many different news stories that

503
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: we have been chasing. But I want to tell you

504
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: as we roll out here that look, it's always a

505
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: busy time around tax season for everybody, especially gets stressful.

506
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: If you fall victim to fake IRS calls, everything worse

507
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: hardly than tax season. The only thing worse maybe a

508
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: fake IRS call where somebody is trying to get you

Speaker 1: gonna be fantastic Seattle up. There gonna be a little

538
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: bit of audio freedom. Audio I just spread across the

539
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: northwest Pacific. Northwest a beautiful place overrun by commies right now,

540
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: unfortunely fantastic place, Mariner Stadium, right downtown Seattle. I've been

541
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: up there with my family, went up from drove from

542
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: Seattle all the way up to Vancouver. Beautiful place to be,

543
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: especially in the summer. We had an incredible time. But

544
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of people listening to

545
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: us right down in Seattle, all over the Pacific Northwest,

546
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: many different cities all over the country who feel like

547
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: they are behind enemy lines because they're looking at what's

548
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: going on and they're just in disbelief over how crazy

549
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: so much of it is. And Seattle is one of

550
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: those cities that really fell apart in the summer of

551
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. On a different level, to all of our

552
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: current and future Seattle listeners, you're not alone. You're now

553
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: part of the Clay and Buck fam all across the country.

554
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: So we will be making sure that you can have

555
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: a place of sanity in an insane world when you

556
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: listen to the show every day. A little shelter from

557
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: the crazy, that's what we give, you know, the shelter

558
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: from the storm, Shelter from the crazy, that's what we promote.

559
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: That's right ray in what's the Massachusetts What's going on ray. Hey, guys,

560
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: I was just wondering if you're going to come up

561
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 1: to the Philly A w tag up this way on

562
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: June eleventh to come in and uh welcome doctor Fauci

563
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: for his the naming of a building after him. Are

564
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: you they're naming a building after Fauci? Is it an

565
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: out the science building? Right? It's the new medical building

566
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: something or other crossover which kind of fits with him, right.

567
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: It really should be a sewage treatment facility of some kind.

568
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, I'm anti pulling names off buildings, but I'm

569
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: one hundred percent before this building is even officially named,

570
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: I think they're going to end up questioning this choice,

571
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: should you be fair? I think that naming a supermax

572
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: prison after Fauci, because that's what he'd like to do

573
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: to all of us for having a sniffle, I think

574
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: that would make sense. So the Fauci Supermax for the

575
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: worst criminals in the world. I'd be like, you, guys,

576
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: don't want to go to the Fauci, and that would

577
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: be scary to anybody. I will also point out buck

578
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: Faucci has said zero not a about the lockdowns in Shanghai,

579
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: isn't it I mean for that he won't come on

580
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: this show. As we've talked about before, at this we

581
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: kind of understand. We've both said he's pretty much the

582
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: worst person in America. So yeah, well, I mean that's accurate.

583
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of media that listen. I

584
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: would love to know what Fauci thinks about the lockdowns

585
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: going on in Shanghai. Ask somebody out there. We have

586
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of, like I said, media listeners, I would

587
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: love for somebody to ask Fauci, hey, do you agree

588
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: with what China is doing right now where they have

589
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: locked down everyone in Shanghai for the past week. Is

590
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: that the right choice? Is that the wrong choice? Is

591
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: it too much? I would love for Fauci to have

592
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: to answer that question, because he seems more intent on

593
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: defending China than he does on actually talking honestly to

594
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: the American at this point out, you know, kind of embarrassing.

595
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: One of my party didn't mean to step on either,

596
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: but one of my criticisms of Fauci Clay has always

597
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: been he never says they've gone too far, and this

598
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: would be such an obvious you know, he doesn't say

599
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: double masking Tiny Toddler's outside with their little fingers turning

600
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: blue from the cold. We probably shouldn't do that. Like,

601
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: he never says that, yeah, this would be an opportunity

602
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: for im to say, guys, this is the public health establishment,

603
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: run a market. But he can't and won't in his

604
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: own mind. I think because he realizes once you start

605
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: to establish there's such a thing as taking the virus

606
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: too seriously, the peasants may get ideas of their own.

607
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: And the same thing could be said about New York City,

608
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: where two year old to four year old little kids

609
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: are having to wear masks. Right now, I would love

610
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: to know whether Fauci thinks it makes sense that in

611
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: New York City the only people wearing masks or two

612
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: to four year olds. Now, the way he may get

613
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: out of that question buck is by saying, well, no,

614
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: I think that New York City needs to consider everybody

615
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: wearing masks, So that way he's dodging though whether two

616
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: to four year olds wearing masks makes sense. But New

617
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: York City Mayor Eric Adams in New York City has

618
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: actually made the supremely illogical decision to require the people

619
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: that are at the least risk from COVID to be

620
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: the only people wearing masks, and by the way, also

621
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: kids who are If you ever had a two year old,

622
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: it's impossible to get a two year old to do

623
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: anything that they don't want to do, much less wear

624
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: a mask. I mean, we talked about snot nosed kids

625
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: for a reason. These kids are. The idea that a

626
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: two year old wearing a mask is somehow making anyone

627
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: safer doing anything other than driving the parents or the

628
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: caregivers crazy is patently absurd. I also can just say

629
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: from my own experience as an adult that when people

630
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: mask me up and I don't want to be masked,

631
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: I get agitated, and I will not even say on

632
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: the air some of the thoughts that I begin to have,

633
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: like what I'm told you better mask up or else.

634
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: It creates anxiety. You can't breathe normally. The long term

635
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: impact on children is unknown and unknowable at this point,

636
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: but we know it's negative, and I think we're gonna

637
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: find out it's actually a lot worse than people realize.

638
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna find out that this is creating

639
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: some serious long term consequences for the mental health and

640
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: stability of an entire generation of small children. I don't

641
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: think there's any doubt at all about that. Unfortunately, and

642
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: what we're seeing in terms of the impact of children

643
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: from people who claim that they care about equity and

644
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: equality and they want to make sure that everybody has

645
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: an equal chance, Well, we've managed to ensure that the

646
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: kids who have the most that they have lost during

647
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: COVID were the kids that are the poorest, that are

648
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: the most disadvantaged, and that have the least opportunity to

649
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: compete on a fair playing field. Democrats have overwhelmingly, through

650
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: the teachers Union, dragged all these kids down. I mean

651
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: it to me is borderline criminal behavior that we've allowed

652
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: this to happen. And I appreciate our guest who was

653
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: on earlier, Casey Mulligan, for putting that data out about

654
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: the places and the states that did the best from

655
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: a health, from a schooling, and from an economic perspective.

656
