1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and Clay Travis and Buck Sexton 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: Show Wednesday edition of the program. The Battle of our 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: era right now is over. How do we get back 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: to normalcy in a COVID era despite the fact that 6 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: right now, as we just finished the labor day, we 7 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: have twice as many people hospitalized as we did last 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Labor Day. You'll recall that Joe Biden ran his entire 9 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: campaign predicated on the idea that he was going to 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: fix COVID and get us back to quote normalcy. That 11 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: has not happened. And what's become interesting is two of 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: the most i would say stellar advocates battlers if you will, 13 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: over how exactly we are going to reconcile COVID in 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: this country have turned into Florida Governor Ron De Santis 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: and of course the tinpot dictator, tyrant doctor Fauci, And 16 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: they went head to head talking about the data in 17 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: a way frankly that usually doesn't get talked about. Listen 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: to Rhnda Scantis talk about the situation in Florida and 19 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: also way out that herd immunity has not occurred as 20 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: a result of the vaccine. Listen to this. If you're 21 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: going to force vaccine mandates on people, just understand that 22 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: what the data is showing us about the vaccine. The 23 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: data is showing us you're much less likely to be 24 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: hospitalized or die if you're vaccinated. That is true, and 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: I think you see it in the statistics. However, the 26 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: vaccinations have not created herd immunity. And so if the 27 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: idea is that having herd immunity, you force everyone to 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: do this and that will create herd immunity, that has 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: not happened. It's still spreading people. Who I mean, obviously 30 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: in Florida we're going down now, which is great, but 31 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: that's not what the issue is it creating the herd immunity. 32 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: Fauci also said, if fifty percent were vaccinated, you would 33 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: not see any surges anymore. Well, that isn't true. So 34 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: that is a strong case from Ron de Santis there 35 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: again talking about data which is not allowed most places. 36 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: Of course, the tin pot petty dictator tyrant Fauci was 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: not happy with the fact that his own words were 38 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: thrown in his face about if we had fifty percent 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: of people vaccinated and by the way, seventy five percent 40 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: of people eighteen and up have now had at least 41 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: one part of the vaccination. Faucci had to fire back 42 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: at de Santis, Well, that's not true at all. I mean, 43 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: obviously it's important for you as an individual for your 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: own personal protection, safety and health. But when you have 45 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: a virus that's circulating in the community and you are 46 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: not vaccinated, you a part of the problem because you're 47 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: allowing yourself to be a vehicle for the virus to 48 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: be spreading to someone else. So it isn't as if 49 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: it stops with you. If that would the case, then 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: it would be only about you, But it doesn't. You 51 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: can get infected even if you get no symptoms or 52 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: minimally symptomatic, and then pass it on to someone who 53 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: in fact might be very vulnerable, an elderly person, a 54 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: person with an underlying disease. So when you're dealing with 55 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: an outbreak of an infectious disease, it isn't only about you. 56 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: There's a societal responsibility that we all have. Buck sex. 57 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: Then your reaction to DeSantis versus Fauci, why is Fauci 58 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: on TV stale every five minutes? We have a massive 59 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: federal health bureaucracy. There he's at NAIAD, right, but under 60 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: the umbrella of the National Institutes of Health and i AGE. 61 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: There's also the CDC. We talk more about the CDC, 62 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: but somehow Fauci is still the face of all of this. 63 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: Fauci is the face of all the failed policies. This 64 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: star has not actually worked the way we were told 65 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: it would over and over. Now they could argue that 66 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: in some aspects it's had some efficacy. Depends on what 67 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: mitigation measure we're talking about here. But you know, Clay, 68 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: our friend, I know you had him on the show 69 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: on Monday and Labor Day. Alex Barrinson put out a 70 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: great little quick cheat sheet because we often say here, 71 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: how many times is Fauci gonna be wrong before people 72 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: say enough is enough? How many times do we have 73 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: to see his predictions being completely false? And Alex pulled 74 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: together for it is substack the following. I mean, here's 75 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: Faucci twenty twenty Bloomberg. Fauci says end a pandemic is 76 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: in sight thanks to vaccines. That was in November of 77 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: last year, right right after the election, Remember Buck, when 78 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: they miraculously could announce that the vaccines were ready like 79 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: literally like two days after the weekend of the election, right, 80 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy. Faucci predicts us could see signs 81 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: of herd immunity by late March or early April. That 82 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: was December fifteenth, twenty twenty. In NPR are Fouci gives 83 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: sunny or outlook for end of pandemic. Us will see big, 84 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: big difference by summer or early fall of twenty twenty. Clay, 85 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: we're seeing a big difference, as we know, three hundred 86 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: percent rise in cases year over year. And then finally 87 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: as of August twenty fifth, and again hat tip to 88 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: our friend Berenson for all this on a sub stack. 89 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci says no end to COVID pandemic before spring 90 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two at the earliest. This little lab coat 91 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: tyrant is a jackass. This guy says, every six months 92 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: or so, it's gonna be all over. Just listen, and 93 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: then we wait six months or three months, whatever the 94 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: timeline is he gives and he's wrong, and he's like, 95 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: just give it six more months. It never ends. As 96 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: long as this guy is still given credibility, not just 97 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: by the Democrat corporate media, but by millions of Americans. 98 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: I look at people now, I think, how is it 99 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: possible that any person of sound judgment and rationality could 100 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: listen to this little totalitarian smurf on the television and 101 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: think that they they should pay attention to him at 102 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: this point? It's such a great question, Buck, and I 103 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: think about that a lot too. I think one answer 104 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: is there's a huge percentage of the population that wants 105 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: to have certainty and they want to turn their brain 106 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: off and listen to people who are doctors. Right. And 107 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, you've probably heard it a ton. Every 108 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: now and then I dive into mensions and see what 109 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: people are saying when I'm sharing things, and one of 110 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: the primary things I get is are you a doctor? No, 111 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, but if I had wanted to 112 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: be a doctor, I would be a doctor, right. I mean, 113 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: this is and I think this is an interesting response. 114 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: I'm curious if you've thought about it a lot too, Buck, 115 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: You're smart enough to have been a doctor if you 116 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: wanted to be a doctor. I'm smart enough to have 117 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: been a doctor if I wanted to be a doctor. 118 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: This idea that only doctors are able to look at 119 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: data and analyze it and make decisions that are smart 120 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: flies in the face of all American public policy, because 121 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: most governors and senators and congressmen are not doctors. But 122 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: we elect people and we listen to people based on 123 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: buck whether or not we trust their judgment and their 124 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: ability to analyze facts. And so this idea that you 125 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: should have to be a doctor to look at COVID rates, 126 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Ron de Santis is not a doctor. His analysis, 127 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: by the way, as a Harvard lawgrad, could have certainly 128 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: been a doctor if he had wanted to be a doctor, 129 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: is smart enough to have been a doctor. But he's 130 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: smart enough to look at data. You and I are 131 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: smart enough to look at data. And a lot of 132 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: people out there aren't willing to look at data. They 133 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: want to be led, their comfortable being cheap, and that's 134 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: why people are still listening to Fauci. You have this 135 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: credentialed class in the country in particular, I mean you're 136 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: talking about a lot of mds, and these are the 137 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: blue check and that you see who make noise and 138 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: go on MSNBC and post photos like the one that 139 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: I sent you of the mom doctor with her three 140 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: kids with masks and face shields on as if face 141 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: shields are meant to prevent, like they use them in 142 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: some capacities in a medical setting, the actual splatter it 143 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: doesn't do anything about aerosolis virus wearing a face shield. 144 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: It's like if you were a World War One infantrymen 145 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: and you put on a face shield to protect you 146 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: from mustard gas, you were going to have a very 147 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: bad day. It doesn't do anything. They must know this 148 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: at some level, but they believe that by continuing to 149 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: adhere to this, they not only give themselves meaning and 150 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: think that they're more secure Clay, they're also tying themselves 151 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: to the rest of the smart people. It's not just 152 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: virtue signaling. There's an intelligence signaling that they think goes 153 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: on here. All the really, I mean, you're mentioning doctors 154 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: and how oh, you're not a doctor. All the super 155 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: smart people out there believe Fauci, even though of course 156 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: that's not true. There are doctors, epidemiologists that we've talked 157 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: to it. We've got on the show from Stanford, from Cambridge, 158 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: from all over the country who will say that this 159 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: is crap and they're never going to admit Clay no 160 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: matter what the data actually says you keep saying, look 161 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: at the data that there's a very real chance that 162 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: almost everything that the Fauciites have told us to do 163 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: did nothing of benefit and was massively counterproductive, all cosmetic theory. 164 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's what. Like you listed all 165 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: the things that Fauci has gotten wrong. Here's a good 166 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: question for people out there, what's he gotten right? Like, 167 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: what has Fauci beyond a shadow of a doubt looking 168 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: at the data gotten right. I'm not sure buck that 169 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: he's gotten a single thing right now. And I'm giving 170 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: him credit for being adjusting his opinions constantly because originally, 171 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: remember he was like, oh, masks don't work, it makes 172 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: no sense to go get masks. He usually like this 173 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: six foot rule is total crap. Like everything that Fauci 174 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: has advocated is cosmetic theater, and it is totally non 175 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: non effective, ineffective, has had zero impact. I think I 176 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: think Faucci has gotten got one thing very right, unfortunately, 177 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: and that is making it very clear to everybody in 178 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. And he's effectively a Democrat operative in 179 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: a lab code and believes in authoritarian bureaucratic control of 180 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: the American people. I think he played the politics right. 181 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: You know, this is a guy who was somehow in 182 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: the Trump administration in charge of the awful Trump response 183 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: they say, right, and we know, of course it's not true, 184 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: but managed to not only keep it really elevate his 185 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: job in the next administration. Well, well, why is that 186 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: the case? How does that make you know? Whatever happened 187 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: to Deborah Burkes remember her? Well, she took a big 188 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: party at home and she told all of us not 189 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: to see our relatives over Thanksgiving. That was kind of 190 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: a bad move, and then she just pieced out though. 191 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: But I do think it's an interest in question, Buck, 192 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know that we'll ever get the actual data. 193 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: If we had done absolutely nothing at all, if we 194 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: had just kept schools open, if everybody had kept working, 195 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: if we had changed zero, like, if we really hadn't 196 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: done anything, would we be in a better place right now? 197 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: Because if herd immunity is the way out, Buck, and 198 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: that's really what DeSantis was arguing, And if we aren't 199 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: going to get herd immunity through vaccination, which I think 200 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: the data reflects that we're really not, ultimately everybody's going 201 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: to have to get this or enough people are going 202 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: to have to get this that it's not spreading wide, 203 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: get actual herd immunity, which is real. We're trying to 204 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: induce essentially an artificial herdamentary through the vaccination process, not 205 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: through the actual contact. I mean, the MMRNA vaccine works 206 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: by you know, the spike protein. And this is a 207 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: level of science that's you know, is legitimately not something 208 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: that the that ever that folks like me understand, but 209 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: you do know that it's different than the T cell 210 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: immunity you get from your immune system actually dealing with 211 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: the virus. But Clay, to the point about what would 212 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: happen if we had basically done nothing, You've done something 213 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: close to nothing. Fun fact, I'm putting Clay on the spot, 214 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: but I think it didn't get this one right. How 215 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: many people died yesterday in Sweden from COVID? Clay, I 216 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: think it's almost zero one. Yeah, so there you. I mean, 217 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: I've looked at their death chart. They basically said we're 218 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: gonna go for her immunity and COVID doesn't exist now 219 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: in Sweden ten million people, folks, ten million people a 220 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: year ago, an experiment in death. The Swedes aren't listening 221 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: to the science Fauci is, I'm very very concerned, you know, 222 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: the whole thing. One person in the whole country. And 223 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: by the way, it's not an anomaly. Zero the day 224 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: be four zero. I'm looking at the numbers right now. 225 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: Zero the day be four one zero. They're losing more 226 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: people to death by be staying right now in Sweden 227 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: most likely than they are from COVID. And now the 228 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: Swedish people are in a lot better ape so they 229 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: don't have as many fat people as we do, which 230 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: I know you're not supposed to be able to talk 231 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: about because you know, it's horribly upsetting to mension fat people. 232 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: Now it's fat chaming whatever else. But that's I mean, 233 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: we would be done with this if we had just 234 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: pieced out and continued to live our lives instead of 235 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: trying to shut everything down and allowing people like Fauci 236 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: to continue to have power. I also want to get 237 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: his clay focused in on in a few minutes, how 238 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: they're starting to move. You could tell the mobilization and 239 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: the authoritarianism of COVID is now going to be transferred 240 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: into other Democrat policy priorities, like of course, climate change, 241 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: which we've been saying all along that they've gotten the notes, 242 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: apparently the Biden folks. We can get into that in 243 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: a second. But Clay, what do you got for us 244 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: on cell phone service? Because I know you want to 245 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: say folks money, I want to say people a lot 246 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: of money. And that's what we're doing right now. My 247 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: own household, my thirteen year old has Pure Talk service. 248 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: His mom and I wanted to get him a cell phone. 249 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: We said he need to be eighth grade. He got 250 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: one for the start of school this year. And we 251 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: know we can trust pure Talk because I've had these 252 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: guys in my house. They have the exact same network, 253 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: exact same towers as one of the big three cell 254 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: phone carriers, but for a lot less money. So right now, 255 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: if you're with AD and T, Verizon, T Mobile, you're 256 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: paying way too much for your cell service.

Welcome back to the Clay Travis 270 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: and Buck sex and show. This is Buck Clay and 271 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: I making sense of all the madness today, including AOC 272 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: championing menstruating person's rights. This is the term now you're 273 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: supposed to use that won't offend people. Let's just refer 274 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: to a woman's cycle all the time without referring to 275 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: a woman, and that's this is a member of Congress, folks. 276 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: Plus Biden is pushing the climate change lunacy fifty percent 277 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: roughly solar energy, solar energy for the US by twenty fifty. 278 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: They're saying, we got four Taliban members swapped out for 279 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: bo Bergdahl who are now by the Obama Administration't we 280 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: all remember that now running essentially the Afghan governor. They're 281 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: like the cabinet and you got the Robert E. Lee statue, 282 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: taking down a historic statue. Pelosi is calling Afghanistan a 283 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: historic and remarkable withdrawal. So we got oh and mansion 284 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: on the spending, Clay gets excited about the spending st 285 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: I am excited to see what's gonna happen with ye. 286 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that just a little bit. 287 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: That's all coming your way. But I've mentioned you before 288 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,479 Speaker 1: the break that climate change is the place the Democrats 289 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: want to go next. They're not going to get off 290 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: the total control of pandemic fouciism until they can transfer 291 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: this mass mobilization and authoritarianism to climate change, because then 292 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: it's existential. They control every aspect of your life. They're 293 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: just telling us is what they want to do. Sixteen. 294 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: If our entire world, in our entire society is going 295 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: to shift because of climate change, it's a matter of 296 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: how it's going to shift. So basically, if we do 297 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: nothing to address climate change, we are going to see 298 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: the continued destruction of our supply chains. We are going 299 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: to see our crops not be able to grow in 300 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: the same way we will see our infrastructure begin to 301 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: crumble away. We will see us not we will see, 302 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, the continuation cliberation of other future pandemics as well. 303 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: And so that is how our life could change if 304 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: we do nothing, Can we get all the trolls online 305 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: to just go AOC is not a scientist, because that's 306 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: how could it be any dumber than what she just said? 307 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: I just, um, I look, I understand that there's a 308 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: lot of politicians who are just not Look, here's what 309 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: AOC is good at. She's good at getting attention, which 310 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: is a big part of being a politician. Uh, she 311 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: is good at at the blue check brigade like just 312 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: kind of swarming around her because she says things, and 313 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: a want of congress people don't really say things. But 314 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,239 Speaker 1: I've never heard her speak and thought, this is who 315 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: should be representing. How old is AOC, like thirty six, 316 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: thirty seven something like, I don't even think young old, 317 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: younger than that. Like, I've never thought AOC should be 318 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: the spokesperson of the millennial generation. And I don't think 319 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: she advocates for anything that she advocates in a way 320 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: that is remotely helpful to what she advocates for thirty one. 321 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: You get the sense by the way that Nancy Pelosi 322 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: as much as she might dislike Mitch McConnell, and as 323 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: much as she might dislike other people. Nancy Pelosi genuinely 324 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: I feel like to tests AOC. I really do when 325 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: you hear her talk about it. But I gotta tell 326 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: you a lot of you out there are suffering from 327 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: chronic pain as a result of aging, exercise, over exertion, 328 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: and the effects of everyday living. This means you are 329 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: someone close to you is experiencing pain right now, and 330 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: that's why we need to talk to you about relief Factor, 331 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: created by doctors over fifteen years of scientific research, made 332 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: for you. It'll take you with one hundred percent drug 333 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: free product takes care of joint pain, me hip, backneck 334 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: and shoulder pain.

Used to be you'd 346 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: flip on David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, and whatever 347 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: your political leanings might be. President got made fun of. 348 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: Famous political leaders got made fun of in the monologue, 349 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: and it was almost impossible to know what the overall 350 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: political leanings of the comedian might be because they tried 351 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: to be equal opportunity attackers. Now, comedy is basically dead 352 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: in late night television, although we should mention even though 353 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't get a lot of attention. Greg Guttfeld, You've 354 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: been going on his show for a long time, Buck, 355 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: Greg Gutfeld dunks all over Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel over, 356 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: who's the other guy, Jimmy Fallon? Like they absolutely destroy 357 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: Now Greg Gutfeld does Fox News late night programs. They 358 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: inherited those other can they inherited massive platforms and audiences 359 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: that were built in Yeah, Fox is obviously a very 360 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: large platform for news. It's there's not an inherited audience 361 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: of a couple million people every night at eleven PM 362 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: to watch comedy, which which Greg, to his absolute credit, 363 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: has built and to the to Fox's credit, has allowed 364 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: that kind of a show, which honestly we should have. 365 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: There should be more shows like that, right, There should 366 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: be more shows that try to be culturally relevant as 367 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: well as news relevant from a not even just a 368 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: concern just a rite of center or centrist perspective would 369 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: be nice, or just a logical perspective. But it is 370 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: interesting that that show with Greg Gutfeld has begun to dominate. 371 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: And here's my thesis, and I'm curious before we play 372 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: this clip from Jimmy Kimmel last night, I'm curious what 373 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: you think in general about this thesis book. I believe 374 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: that what happened in late night television is Stephen Colbert 375 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: went all in on attacking Donald Trump like crazy, and 376 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: his show on CBS went from last place to first 377 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: place because there were people who wanted to tune in 378 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 1: to a Trump is Awful comedic focused broadcast. Colbert had 379 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: a lot of success, and then Jimmy Kimmel and h 380 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: and Jimmy Fallon chased Colbert to the point where honestly 381 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: the smart play probably would have been to go in 382 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: the opposite direction of Colbert. But because Hollywood is so 383 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: left wing and left leaning, you can't get guests that 384 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: are promoting their movies or or or are gonna come 385 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: on your your television broadcast period if you go too 386 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: far centrist or right wing. And so they all chased 387 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: each other down the left wing rabbit hole and basically 388 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: assured each other of mutual destruction. So I remember the 389 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: originator in a sense of this model, the guy who 390 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: first got it right big time. And I'm sure he 391 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: used to see a show a lot, and I certainly 392 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: did back when I was in college. Was John Stewart 393 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: with the Daily Show, and that was going back to 394 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: the Bush administration. And what that was was a place 395 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: where because because liberals, I mean, you see this, they 396 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: love the Madhouse Show during Russia collusion, even though it 397 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: was all I wasn't true, that's what they wanted to see. 398 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: They prefer even more just the snarky, snide attack of 399 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: someone pretending to be a comedian that's really doing political 400 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: commentary with jokes, because one they just want to see 401 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: pies thrown at the people they disagree with. You know, 402 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: those red state, anti vaxx, Trump voting maga hat people. 403 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: But also beyond that, they don't want to be encumbered 404 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: by facts, logic, reason, or decency. They just want to 405 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: see their enemies mocked and humiliated. The left is obsessed 406 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: with this. They also can tolerate no humiliation of their idols, 407 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: their ideas. I mean the fact that we haven't seen 408 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: more comedy clay about people walking around with gas masks 409 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: or three masks on, or people that think it's to 410 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: or hazmat suits, or it's normal to wear a mask 411 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: driving alone in their car. I mean, this is ripe 412 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: for comedy. I mean, these are things that is radely 413 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: ripe and ridicule, and yet it doesn't happen because we 414 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: all know that the one thing the Left cannot abide 415 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: is the ridicule of its rituals and its ideas, because 416 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: then the whole thing starts to fall apart. It's cultural 417 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: resonance that makes it all so powerful. It's the cool 418 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: kids watch Colbert and laugh at his stupid anti Trump jokes, 419 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: and so everybody else does it at the same time. 420 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: But but I think that really what you're seeing is 421 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: actually just a form of propaganda because they're doing political 422 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: commentary on those shows, Colbert and Kim Olan whatever. But 423 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: it's political commentary for stupid people because they don't actually 424 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: with the moment they get challenged it. Oh, I'm just 425 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: a comedian, I'm just making jokes. Well no, actually, you're 426 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: making political arguments with jokes placed around it so that 427 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: you're immune and you can just take snide, cheap shots 428 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: at the other side. Are you with me? Growing up? 429 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: If you watch the Leno, I was a Letterman guy. 430 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 1: I don't remember having any sense for what their political 431 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: beliefs were. I never thought that Letterman was funny one 432 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: second of one day in my entire life. I didn't 433 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: watch him that much. I did watch Leno sometimes, so 434 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: I did think it was funny. So this is a 435 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: this is ane of these areas where I see here 436 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: I goo clay for a guy I agree with on 437 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: so many things. Letterman was a mean guy. I think 438 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: he was a funny guy. I loved the Letterman. I 439 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: would watch Letterman every night. I like the way he 440 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: deconstructed late night television. We could probably have a huge 441 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: debate about this, but the bigger picture here is would 442 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: you agree with me as a Leno guy that you 443 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: really didn't get the sense that you knew what Jay 444 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: Leno or David Letterman thought politic Yes, he made jokes. 445 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: He made jokes that were meant for the entire studio 446 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: audience and everyone watching at home. You could have been 447 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: a Bush voter and in the Leno years laugh at 448 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: jokes about Bush and it wasn't uncomfortable because it came 449 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: from a place of comedy, not a place of derision. 450 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: And what's happened now is the left, because of cancel 451 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: culture one, has weaponized the culture against the mockery of 452 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: things that they hold sacred, but also don't really have 453 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: no interest in just the art of making people laugh 454 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: so much as they want to be propagandists for their 455 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: political side, and they want to they want to humiliate 456 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: their targets. They're not trying to make everybody laugh. And 457 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: it's interesting in that respect. I'll play let's play this 458 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: clip when we come back, because it is I think 459 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: a lot of you out there listening to us now 460 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: have sort of a visceral reaction when I say Letterman 461 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: or Leno, whether you like them or not, or certainly 462 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: if you go back to Johnny Carson, they were equal 463 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: opportunity comedian throwing punches and jabs in every direction, such 464 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: that you really never had a sense for exactly what 465 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: they believe themselves, almost in a Walter Cronkite sense for 466 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: lack of a better way. But that's a whole other thing. Yeah, 467 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: but back in the day, you didn't really know. I mean, look, 468 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: I think the assumption has to be that if you 469 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: live in Hollywood or you live in New York and 470 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: your entertainment, you're probably a left leaning person, unless you 471 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: are totally silent, in which case I think that you 472 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: might not be. But I do think that the question 473 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: of how did this pivot occur? And is there a 474 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: way out of it? And honestly, in the process, are 475 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: comedians cutting their own throats? Because if you only allow 476 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: humor in one direction, ultimately it's going to be a 477 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: failed humor. I mean, satire is usually directed at those 478 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: who are in power, and that's what it's supposed to do. 479 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: And this is why political cartoons, for example, throughout our 480 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: history have been so powerful because they expose truths that 481 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: also have a cultural sailing right. They show things in 482 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: a way they visualize what we know to be true, 483 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: and as often something you're not supposed to say, or 484 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: those in power don't want you to feel comfortable saying. 485 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: What's happened now is particularly when you're talking about the gatekeepers, 486 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: gatekeepers of our culture. They determine what jokes are allowed 487 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: and are not allowed, and they certainly don't want them 488 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,719 Speaker 1: being directed at the people who are in power. And 489 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: that just goes to right now, Clay, what is there 490 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: to make fun of? If you're Stephen Colbert, if you're 491 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: these other I don't even I haven't seen their shows 492 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: in a long time. I see clips them occasionally. What 493 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: is there to make You can make fun of the 494 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: Biden administration, You're not going to make fun of the 495 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: fact that there's a scenile buffoon who is actually president 496 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: of the United States because that's your team. So all 497 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: the actual comedy that people might be making is always 498 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: encumbered by this subservience to political belief. And that's why, yeah, 499 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: comedy is basically dead. That plus everything that's actually funny. 500 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: Now you can't say out loud in a public forum 501 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: without possibly losing your job, being kicked out of your housing. 502 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: You know, That's where we are. It's also why I 503 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: think you're seeing Bill Maher cut through the noise to 504 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: a certain extent now with his HBO show.

Welcome back to the 525 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck. We're 526 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna have updates for all of you all. In the 527 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: situation in Afghanistan, some Democrats are saying all US citizens 528 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: are out. Chuck Schumer said that that's interesting because it's 529 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,959 Speaker 1: not true. But they're already furiously rewriting the history of this. 530 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: They're talking about a Biden doctrine, and we're learning more 531 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: about the Taliban looks like the old Taliban in a 532 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: lot of ways, including some of the leadership. We'll get 533 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: into this coming up the top of the next hour. 534 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: Clay had mentioned that there was a there's a dearth 535 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: of humor from people that have the supposed comedian positions 536 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: on TV. They're really political commentators who occasionally make jokes. 537 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, who I mean, He's gone after people on 538 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: the right in ways that I thought were just I'm 539 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: not even talking about to make jokes about, but in 540 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: a more personal way. It seems kind of nasty. Here 541 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: he is talking about this is his version of comedy play. 542 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: Doctor Fouchi said that if hospitals get any more over crowded. 543 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to make some very tough choices about 544 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: who gets an ICU. But that choice doesn't seem so 545 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: tough to me. Vaccinated person having a heart attack, Yes, 546 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: come right on him, we'll take care of you. Unvaccinated 547 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: guy who gobbled horse coup rest in peace, wheezy. We've 548 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: still got a lot of pandemwitz out there. People are 549 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: still taking this iver mechton. You know, the poison control 550 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: centers have seen as this spike in calls from people 551 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: taking this livestock medicine to fight the coronavirus. But they 552 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: will take the vaccine. Apparently he's paid millions and millions 553 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: of dollars by what is a disney to be a 554 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: moron and a liar, because that's what that sound clip 555 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: says to me. First of all, the horse Anyone who 556 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: says it's a horse drug is an idiot who's being dishonest. 557 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: It's not even possible to be that stupid but claim, 558 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: and this is what we're up against. Yeah, look, I 559 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: think the whole hort and we need to play later 560 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: in the show the Joe Rogan clip. Because you took 561 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: ivermectin it was prescribed to you when you had COVID. Yes, 562 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: by by a highly regarded infectious disease specialist of forty 563 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: years almost of practice in New York City. Yes, and 564 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: it's not the same doctor. But Joe Rogan I'm sure 565 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: also had ivermectin prescribed to him by a doctor. It 566 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: has been prescribed to humans for decades as a as 567 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: a drug, right, It also probably millions of lives o 568 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: course of many years. Yeah. So so this is that clip, 569 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: to me, is emblematic of in many ways the failure 570 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: of comedy because it's not a joke that would have 571 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: been made I don't believe by David Letterman or Jay Lenno. 572 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: And look, I know Jimmy because I do a show 573 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,239 Speaker 1: with his cousin Sal Jimmy, and I I mean, he's 574 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: a good dude. I like him on an individual basis. 575 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: And he's good friends with Adam Carolla Buck, who has 576 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: almost identical opinions to you and me in many different respects, 577 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: except Corolla is a lot funnier. And if you watch 578 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: The Man Show Back in the Day, which I bet 579 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: you watch some clips of back in the day when 580 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: because you're around saying The Man Show, which was Adam 581 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel and which my buddy Sal wrote 582 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: on is fabulously funny. And I think the distance between 583 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: late night television today and what The Man Show could 584 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: do represents a failure fundamentally of comedy, And to your 585 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: point earlier, if you are and I think it's a 586 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,239 Speaker 1: big question, and I don't know the answer. You know, 587 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: Gutfeld is having a lot of success by effectively being 588 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: the anti Colbert right. He's coming to things from a 589 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: right wing perspective, where Colbert comes at it from a 590 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: left wing perspective. Is there still a space in comedy 591 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: for a guy who is basically right down the middle 592 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: or a girl going after equal side humor. I don't 593 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: know that there is, buck I wonder on some level 594 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: whether we have so And I'm making up a word here, 595 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: potentially nichified comedy. That the only way you can win 596 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: in society, And I wonder about this and worry about 597 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: this a little bit, is if you are trying to 598 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: appeal to a targeted demo instead of trying to appeal 599 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: to the mass. Well, this is also what happens when 600 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: you have gatekeepers, those who control platforms, corporations openly going woke, 601 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: and now what you have is you can call it 602 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: the Balkanization of the media. It certainly happened in news 603 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: and commentary. When I got into this ten years ago. 604 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: Clay MSNBC would say, Buck, we want to have you 605 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: debate jihadism or something with so and so, and we 606 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,959 Speaker 1: don't actually get to fight it out on TV. CNN 607 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: would have people say, how could you ever work at 608 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: CNN because they let me go on and crush and 609 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: have debates and it was fun. You could actually do that. 610 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: Now they would cheat and they would talk over you, 611 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of like it was 612 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: a hostile environment. But Alisa used to happen. Now no 613 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: one really does this anymore. It doesn't exist and everyone 614 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: just wants, you know, they want what they expect from 615 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: a host to be said night in and night out. 616 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: And I mean, Clay, you know, I understand that. You know, 617 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: the Jimmy Kimmel, maybe he's a nice guy person to person, 618 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: but the stuff that he's saying, given what we're going 619 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: through as a country and the real threats we face, 620 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's reckless. Man. It's bad. It's not it's 621 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: not cool at all to pretend that people are that 622 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: people shouldn't go. He says that he makes that as 623 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: a joke. Other people are going to say, yeah, you 624 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: know what, You're right, unvaccinated people shouldn't get into the ICU. 625 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a what's you right now? What's crazy 626 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: is at least he's a comedian saying that they're a 627 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: real doctor saying that that I basically, hey, I'm not 628 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: going to treat you if if you are not vaccinated. 629 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: And to me again, all of this begs the question 630 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: is has the left, the wing in many ways killed comedy? 631 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: Have they destroyed all? I think there's I think the mockery. 632 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: I think we gotta be honest. I think the mockery 633 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: comes in advance of the policy. A lot of the time, 634 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: it's it's, oh, those stupid Trumpers won't do this, or 635 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: those Trumpers won't do that, and they make jokes about it, 636 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it's Pelosi and Schumer 637 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: on the floor of Congress who are advocating where the 638 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: bidenstration just saying this needs to happen. And enough people 639 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: have bought into the lies that the mockery are built 640 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: on that they go, yeah, you know what, I guess 641 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: we do have to do. It's not it's not funny anymore, Clay, Right, 642 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: that's what they'd say. It's reality. Now we have to 643 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: make them do this. And I think this is also 644 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: a function of Twitter, right, because Twitter is so far 645 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: left wing, yet it is for media people cat nip right. 646 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: Even if you're a even if you're a middle of 647 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: the road or right wing person, you still understand that 648 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,479 Speaker 1: that is where stories come and where debates take play. 649 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: And one percent of the country is really on Twitter. 650 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: There isn't it like three or something, And it's two 651 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: percent of people are actually active tweeting on a day 652 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: to day basis one fifty's it's people that live in 653 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: our world that are relating. We gotta well, we'll come 654 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 1: back to this. We have so many calls people obviously 655 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: what people are fired up because this does matter to 656 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: the culture and to our politics, as Breitbart said, politics 657 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: downstream of culture. We'll come back there with some Afghanistan 658 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: updates for you. Just about the Biden administration. Is it 659 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: getting in the way of some of these evacuations and 660 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: what is Pelosi already saying about it? Clay, what else 661 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: is the top of mind for you hour two. Look, 662 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: I think you can keep making fun of me about 663 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 1: the budget, but mansion coming out and you get super 664 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: excited about that.
