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 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in the final show before Christmas.

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: It is Christmas eve Eve, and I know there are

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: a lot of you listening right now who are dealing

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: with major travel concerns, dealing with an arctic freeze that

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: has descended across much of the country. Is going to

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: be a white Christmas if you can get there. Good

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: luck with that, and be safe out there on the

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: roads and airwaves of this country and this world as

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: we are in the midst of absolute Christmas travel madness. Yesterday,

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: nine thousand flights reportedly canceled, and today as the East

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: Coast comes under assault basically from this wintry mix of

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: all sorts of devilish weather. I woke up this morning

14
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Tennessee, my hometown, and I looked over at

15
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: my phone and it was minus two. It's the coldest

16
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: that has been in Nashville, for example, in twenty six years.

17
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Below zero in Nashville unheard of, virtually, And I know

18
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: that is the case for many of you all over

19
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: the country. In fact, I know there are a lot

20
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: of you laughing. You're like, ah, ha ha, min's two.

21
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: It's minus twenty here pal minus thirty, some places minus forty.

22
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: The wind chills are unbelievable. So I hope that you

23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: and yours are going to be able to get where

24
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: you need to be for this holiday season, and that

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: you're going to be spending Christmas with many people that

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: you love, and that you are going to have a

27
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: fantastic time together. This is the final show for either

28
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Buck or myself of the year. We will have guest

29
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: host next week. Todd Herman and Jason Lewis will be

30
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: in with you next week taking you through the new year,

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and then Buck and I will be back for the

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: start of the year. Just to give you a heads up,

33
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: you will have fresh, new original programming next week and

34
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: you can continue to follow the show for sure at

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck on Twitter. And since this is the

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: final show of the year, we've got a lot of

37
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: different stories that I wanted to hit, we should mention

38
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: right off the top. We finished yesterday's show reporting that

39
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: the one point seven trillion dollars omnibus bill had passed

40
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: the Senate, and I read you the list of the

41
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: eighteen turncoat Republican senators who ended up supporting this bill,

42
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: which to me is frankly indefensible. Why do we even

43
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: have an opposition party if the goal is to essentially

44
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: turn into default Democrats and spend money like drunken sailors,

45
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: which is exactly what happened. And now the House of

46
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: Representatives is debating this bill as well. They probably are

47
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: going to pass it in the near future, potentially while

48
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: we are live on the air today, and as a

49
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Christmas gift to all of you, we are going to

50
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: add trillions of dollars to your kids, your grandkids future

51
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: debt in this country. Remember when the Tea Party started

52
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: to complain about massive, outrageous expenses in this country, the

53
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: debt was ten trillion dollars if I remember correctly, back

54
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: in around two ten. Now we are sitting here twelve

55
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: years later and our national debt is poised to go

56
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: over thirty two trillion dollars. So in the space of

57
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: the last twelve years, we have added over a trillion

58
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: dollars a year to our national debt. Where does this

59
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: all end? I do think that there is going to

60
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: be a rational reexamination of many of the choices that

61
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: are being made in this country. But if you are

62
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: out there right now, and you are doing your best

63
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: to keep your head above water through this holiday season,

64
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: to make your budget the best way that you can

65
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: as a part of running your family. You could never

66
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: spend money like our federal government spends money. You just

67
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. Credit cards would cut you off. We

68
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: are drunk on spending money in this country, and we

69
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: just keep getting drunker. And it's as if nobody can say,

70
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what's going on here? And you would

71
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: think with the economic consequences that we are now dealing

72
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: associated with that expenditure, that there would be some rationality

73
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: setting in, But I just don't see it. There's almost

74
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: no Republican out there right now fighting as hard as

75
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: he or she can to stop this outrageous spending train.

76
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: And the consequences are real. I mean, in the space

77
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: of a year, we've gone from around three percent mortgage

78
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: rates to seven percent mortgage rates. It's an unheard of

79
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: rapid acceleration. We have gone from around one percent two

80
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: percent inflation when Donald Trump left office to all the

81
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: way up to double digit inflation. And people are happy

82
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: now because inflation is in the sevens, forty year high inflation.

83
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: We got lots of people, and I wanted to be

84
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: happy today, but I gotta tell you, we got lots

85
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: of people who just decided to leave the federal workforce

86
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: when COVID happened in March of twenty twenty and have

87
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: never returned. We got millions of young kids that are

88
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: never going to finish school because they just walked right

89
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: out and stopped going to school when their government let

90
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: them down and allowed schools to shut down. I'm going

91
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: to talk with Alex Barrenson here in about fifteen minutes.

92
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: The overall death rate in this country has skyrocketed, and

93
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: it's like nobody wants to talk about it. Nothing to

94
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: do with COVID. Now, I'm not talking about COVID deaths,

95
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: although they classify everything virtually as a COVID death. I'm

96
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that we are seeing tons of

97
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: otherwise healthy young people suddenly dropping dead, and that there's

98
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: now data out there to show that the COVID shot

99
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: might might be one of the reasons why we've got

100
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: very real, significant questions. And frankly, the people who are

101
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: representing us, whether they're Democrats or Republicans, are mostly not

102
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: up to the job. We don't have our best people

103
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: in politics anymore. I think we used to have a

104
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: better quality of representative. I think we've run a lot

105
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: of them off with the politics of destruction, with the

106
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: idea that if you did something twenty years ago, we're

107
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna go and we're gonna dig it up and we're

108
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: going to drag it out and we're gonna make you

109
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and your family suffer. And a lot of people who

110
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: are really successful they just say, screw it. Why would

111
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: I do that. I can make millions of dollars in

112
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: the private sector. That's why I got credit to Donald Trump.

113
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Guy could have just ridden out the rest of his life.

114
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Is basically a hero economics. No reason why he needed

115
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: to put himself into the middle of the political arena.

116
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Most super rich people won't do it. So why I

117
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: give credit to Elon Musk, which I'm going to talk

118
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: about a lot during the course of today's program, because

119
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I do find that to be the most optimistic thing

120
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: that happened in all of twenty twenty two. But as

121
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: I am talking to you, the House of Representatives is

122
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: set to spend one point seven trillion dollars. You know,

123
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: only half of your taxpayer funded representatives are actually in Washington,

124
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: DC for that vote. Because Democrats have continued to extend

125
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: the COVID emergency, A lot of representatives just don't bother

126
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: traveling to Washington DC anymore. They make their fat paychecks.

127
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: They make their fat all the different support, their health insurance,

128
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: all the different benefits that they get funded by us,

129
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: the taxpayer. They're going to spend one point seven trillion dollars, y'all,

130
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: and only half of them are actually going to be

131
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: willing to vote in person because the other half have

132
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: already left to take off for vacation. Think about where

133
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: we are that only half of your elected representatives are

134
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: willing to vote in person to spend one point seven

135
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: trillion dollars of your money. I mean, that's just an

136
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: absolute embarrassment. It's outrageous. Not even willing to be physically

137
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: present in Washington, DC to cast a vote to spend

138
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: one point seven trillion dollars of years in mind money.

139
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: They aren't even willing to do their job. They're letting

140
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: them vote remotely. They just pop in a zoom sit

141
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: right there from their home, cash their taxpayer funded checks,

142
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: the sinecures that guarantee them that they're going to make

143
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: millions of dollars for the rest of their lives. They

144
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: decide to leave, they'll go be a lobbyist. They're set

145
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: for life, and they aren't even willing to be present

146
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: half of them in Washington, DC. That's where we are,

147
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: and I want to just talk negatives. So to start

148
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: off the show, I wanted to tell you what I

149
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: think is the most positive thing that happened in twenty

150
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: twenty two. Elon Musk buying Twitter. I think it is

151
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: the single most important, long lasting, impactful reason for optimism

152
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: of anything that happened in twenty twenty two. I'm gonna

153
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: explain why over the course of this show. I'm going

154
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: to try to convince you why I am super optimistic

155
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: about what his purchase can mean for the larger media

156
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: ecosystem in this country. But I would put Musk and

157
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: Trump in this camp. One of the things that has

158
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: most frustrated me as I made the move from sports

159
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: into this arena has been the number of people who

160
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: are extremely wealthy and successful in life and they reach

161
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: out and they say, I agree with everything that you say.

162
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: They won't say it publicly because they're afraid that they

163
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: might be a target. We have long since passed the

164
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: time when standing on the sidelines and cheering quietly from

165
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: people with the resources to make a difference in this country.

166
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: It's just not acceptable anymore. And that's why I give

167
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: credit to Donald Trump in a big way, and also

168
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: why I give credit to Elon Musk, because they are

169
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: so wealthy, both of them. They never had to step

170
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: into the fray and step into the arena and start

171
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: taking the slings and arrows that immediately rained down upon

172
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: you if you say anything other than this woke bs.

173
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: They could have continued to cash checks, they could have

174
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: lived really easy lives. Instead, they looked at what was

175
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: going on in their country and they said, I can't

176
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: stand this any longer. I'm stepping into the arena. Let

177
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: me grab my sword, let me grab my bows and arrows.

178
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Let me go right into this arena and start to

179
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: stand up for what I believe in. And I'm hopeful,

180
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic that Elon Musk is in the vanguard of

181
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: a younger generation of billionaire in this country that have

182
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: seen enough of this woke bs, that have seen enough

183
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: of America being torn down to the point where universities

184
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: like Stanford won't even allow the use of the word

185
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: American because it's a pejorative. That's what they said as

186
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: part of their speech control at one of America's most

187
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: elite institutions. I'm very hopeful that what we're going to

188
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: see going forward is more people with resources to fight

189
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: deciding that they're finally going to get into the fight.

190
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: I think Trump was important, but I think Elon Musk

191
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: can truly be transformative, and I'm gonna explain why over

192
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: the course of this program. We've got a loaded show

193
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: for you. By the way, Senator Bill Haggerty will join

194
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: us at one o'clock Eastern to talk about the ridiculousness

195
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: of the Senate action yesterday eighteen Republican turncoat senators that

196
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: decided to spend one point seven trillion of year dollars.

197
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Why did that happen? Jason lewis

198
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: going to be with us from the House Budget Committee.

199
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: He's going to explain what the significance is of the

200
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: amount of money that's being spent and how we got here.

201
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: And then coming up in about twelve minutes, as I

202
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: already mentioned, Alex Berenson is going to join us to

203
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: talk about the latest on the COVID shot data, information

204
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: that I think is important for all of you to

205
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: have at the end of this year, for not only yourselves,

206
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: but also for your families, for your kids, and for

207
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: your grandkids. All that headed this way. We'll also have

208
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: some fun, because I do want this to be an

209
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:40,239
Speaker 1: extremely positive story as well of what was a fabulous

210
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two on this radio program and the amount

211
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: of time that we all got spent together every single

212
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: day for three hours. I don't take that for granted,

213
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: and I've loved every minute. We will run through some

214
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: of that as well. I want to tell you I

215
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: mentioned how ridiculous the decisions are at Stanford, but thankfully

216
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: the faculty and administration at Hillsdale College they aren't crazy

217
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: and they want to wish you and yours a happy,

218
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: blessed Christmas in a healthy and prosperous new year. Since

219
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: they're founding in eighteen forty four, one hundred and seventy

220
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: eight years ago, their professors have taught students by precept

221
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: and example, teachings and practices of the Christian faith. The

222
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: college continues this mission in its classrooms and nationwide through

223
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: its educational outreach efforts. As to thank you for your

224
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: kindness toward to college, our friends at Hillsdale have prepared

225
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: a special video featuring their Sacred Music Choir singing a

226
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: little town of Bethlehem and their beautiful christ Chapel at

227
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: the heart of campus. When you visit Hillsdale dot edu

228
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: slash Christmas, you can see and hear the choir and

229
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: view many other free resources to celebrate the season. I

230
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: promise it'll be uplifting and inspiring. That's Hillsdale dot edu

231
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: slash Christmas, Hillsdale dot edu slash Christmas, Truth Seeking, reality

232
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: telling The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Welcome Back

233
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. I mentioned in the

234
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: that I consider Elon Musk buying Twitter to be the

235
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: most significant and positive outcome of twenty twenty two. The

236
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: reason is because I don't think the average person realizes

237
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: how embedded this woke mind virus really is in our

238
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: culture today. And I mentioned this on the show before,

239
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: but I think this is important for you guys out

240
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: there to understand. Do you know, do you know there's

241
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: not a single car company that advertises with this radio show.

242
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: You know there's not a single restaurant that advertises with

243
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: this radio show. You know, there's not a single entertainment property, television, digital, streaming,

244
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: you name it that advertises with this radio show, Joe.

245
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: There's not a single major sporting event that advertises with

246
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: this radio show. This is the biggest radio show in

247
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: the country. All of you buy cars, eat in restaurants,

248
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: watch movies and television, and watch sports to varying degrees.

249
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: None of those industries will spend money here. Do you

250
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: know why? Because the single wokeust company, wokest industry, I

251
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: should say, in the entire country, is the advertising industry,

252
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: and they have taken over so much of the media

253
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: ecosystem that there is virtually no real marketplace of ideas anymore.

254
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: And that has particularly been true in big tech, where

255
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: everybody unanimously suspended Donald Trump simultaneously in the wake of

256
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: January sixth. And I've said this for a long time,

257
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: but I don't think enough people talked about this. Everybody did.

258
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: Pentterist suspended Donald Trump, Etsy suspended Donald Trump. I don't

259
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: even know really what those companies do, but I made

260
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: fun of Pinterest and said Donald Trump couldn't sell scarfs

261
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: if he wanted to, like if he got into knitting.

262
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: Evidently that's etsy they suspended Donald Trump from being able

263
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: to sell. If he had decided, Hey, I've retired, retiring

264
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: from politics, and now I'm going to just make Christmas scarfs.

265
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: I've really gotten into knitting. I want to be able

266
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: to sell these. They suspended him from being able to

267
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: do that. And what Elon Musk did when he spent

268
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: forty four billion dollars is he upset all of that

269
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: big tech conspiracy, all of that big tech collusion, and

270
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: he let us know for sure what was happening inside

271
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: of all these big tech companies. Because just like with

272
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Fox News, just like with the Wall Street Journal, just

273
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: like with this show, suddenly having one person or one

274
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: group speaking truth shows you how much lying there is

275
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: going on. That's what Rush did in radio, and that's

276
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: what Elon Musk is doing with big Tech. And it's

277
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: the single most encouraging thing that's going on right now

278
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: in all of American life. In my opinion. AMMO has

279
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: been more expensive this past year, just like so many

280
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: other items. That makes it more expensive to train and

281
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: keep your skills sharp. If you've got a gun, you

282
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: now can train without needing ammunition and you can do

283
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: it at home using something very cool. It's a mantis X.

284
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: Many of the best shooters doing this now. It's a

285

00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: Alex Barrenson does, this time of the year can be

297
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: a fun time but also a crazy time, so I

298
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: appreciate everybody making time to hang out with us. And

299
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Alex Berenson joins us now, one of the true truth

300
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: tellers of the twenty twenty two, twenty twenty one, twenty

Speaker 1: twenty twenty two is the year, uh you know, the

304
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: world sort of started to catch up to you and

305
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: me and Team Reality. I mean, it's it's it's definitely

306
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: started to happen. Amen. Okay, So you had an interesting

307
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: piece up about these COVID shots, and I do think

308
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: this is important because I hope that this holiday season

309
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: for many of you out there, even if you have

310
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: crazy left wing family members, like maybe you're not wearing

311
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: masks asking you about your COVID shot status, but their

312
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: studies out there now saying that if you get the

313
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: COVID shot, you may be more likely to get COVID.

314
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: A couple of them that you wrote about, what is

315
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: the latest data on these COVID shots? Sure so so yeah,

316
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: So I wrote about this in my sub stack. I

317
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: think it was Tuesday. There are two studies, but the

318
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: more important one actually just came out just a few

319
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 1: days ago and it's from the Cleveland Clinic. And what

320
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Clinic did was look at, you know, it's

321
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: a very large workforce, a very large hospital system. It's

322
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: not just one hospital in Ohio safe about fifty thousand

323
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: employees and about ten thousand of those employees had received

324
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: the by Valan booster and others, the fall booster that

325
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: you know everyone's talked about or that the government is

326
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: you know, pushing as the great thing that's going to

327
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: stop you from getting COVID. And of course a lot

328
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: of us I think, no, anecdotally that this is not true.

329
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: That you know, we know lots of people who got

330
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: boosted and got covid um, you know, including including Rochelle Wileski,

331
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, a few weeks ago, the head of the CDC.

332
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: So so so we intuitively know this isn't true. But

333
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: what this but what the Cleveland clinic did is they

334
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: looked at infections by the number of shots that people

335
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: who had received, peopleho had been infected, and they looked

336
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: at the the the vaccination history of those people. And

337
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: it turned out and this was pretty stunning even to me,

338
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: that that not only did the did the people who

339
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: had been vaccinated the most have the highest risk of COVID.

340
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: The differential in this study was about three and a

341
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: half to one, So you were three and a half

342
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: times more likely to be infected with the new newest variant,

343
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: with the new omicron variants if you'd been uh, if

344
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: you've been vaccinated at least three times, then if you

345
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: hadn't been vaccinated at all. And the other thing about

346
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: this was one shot was riskier than two. I'm sorry.

347
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: One shot was rescued then none, two was riscued than one,

348
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: three was riscued than two. So it was sort of

349
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: a perfect what doctors clay perfect dost response curve, which

350
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: is exactly the opposite of the vaccine working. The more

351
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: doses you've got, the more likely you were to be

352
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: infected with this spirrus. Okay, so this is a big revelation.

353
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: You were one of the first people to point out,

354
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: and the data certainly confirmed it that even people who

355
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: claim that they love the shots and that they're working

356
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: fantastically well are actually not getting the shots for their

357
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: kids because the intake rate, thankfully for young children, is

358
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: wildly low. Right, so where does this go kids under five?

359
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: One percent? Is that below ten percent for kids under five?

360
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: And the other thing that's amazing is a significant number

361
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: of people who got one shot, So people who ran

362
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: out in July and August and got their kid the

363
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: first shot didn't get the second. Yeah, So so even

364
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: the true believers woke up at some over the summer. So,

365
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's important. Ninety percent of American

366
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: parents of people who are five and younger, and I've

367
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: raised three through that point, I think you've got a

368
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: couple in that age range. Now, Alex, anybody out there

369
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: who has done this knows that is the age when

370
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: you are the most obsessed with the health of your children.

371
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: Imaginable because they are so young, they are so vulnerable.

372
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Ninety percent, only ten percent, even a lot of these

373
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: left wingers are not actually getting their young children the

374
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: COVID shot, despite what they may be saying publicly about

375
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: how many COVID shots they're getting themselves. So where does

376
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: this leave us, Alex, in particular, now that even China,

377
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: now that even China has said, hey, this COVID zero

378
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: zero COVID, however you want to classify it is not

379
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: a viable option going forward. Essentially, they finally said in China,

380
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: everybody's going to get this. And the overall impact this

381
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: is significant, they said, is unlikely to be very substantial

382
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: because the omicron variant is so mild. Where does this

383
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: leave us as we enter into twenty twenty three, as

384
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: it pertains to COVID. Oh you know, so I think

385
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the mr ands are effectively dead.

386
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: The coccines are effectively dead. Right, It's it's as you said,

387
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: their kid kids are not getting them. Uh and beyond

388
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: that to buy valid boosters again, these fall boosters. A

389
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: majority of adults over sixty five haven't gotten notes, which

390
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: is pretty incredible. Um and you know, and so there's

391
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: been all kinds of excuses though people didn't know that

392
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: these shots existed or or you know, it's harder for

393
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: them to get it. It's it's all lies. People know

394
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: that these shots are out there, and they're being christy

395
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: get them, and they're just rejecting them. Um. So, so

396
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: I think they're dead. Okay, So if they're dead, do

397
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: you think the significance or sorry, what do you think

398
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: about China and the zero COVID basically being abandoned there too? Yeah, Sonny,

399
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned China because that's gonna be my next subsetet

400
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: by the way. Um and I'm glad to have you

401
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: as a reader because you do to read most of them,

402
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. But so, so, you know, I

403
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: think you know what there is to say about China

404
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: is that China is they are first of all, they're

405
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: not going to go with the Mr Ands right, they

406
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: don't want our vaccines, that's one hundred percent clear. They

407
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: are just going to open up and they're gonna have

408
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: a few bad weeks and then it's probably gonna be

409
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: like Hong Kong where they're done. Okay, And for people

410
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: who have been so what you and I used to

411
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: call Team Apocalypse, China is a real problem, right because

412
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: if things open up and go badly, it means that

413
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: the lockdowns were useless. Okay, If things open up and

414
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: go well, it means they're vaccines are actually better than

415
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: our vaccine because guess what. Australia, Taiwan countries that opened

416
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: this year after locking down and used the Western vaccines

417
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: have had a lot of problems with COVID this year.

418
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: So if you're the New York Times and the one

419
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: End your kind of rootings for, you know things to

420
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: be terrible in China, which is an awful thing to say,

421
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: but it is how the coverage reads. On the other hand,

422
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: you you know that means the lockdowns were useless. So

423
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: whatever happens in China, it will be a failure for

424
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: the covidians, right, it will be more proof that the

425
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: sweetish strategy with the correct one. Now, I do think

426
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have a wave. I think there's

427
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: going to be significant number of deaths which they're gonna

428
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: lie about. They're already clearly lying about those, and then

429
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: and then it'll be done. Because that's what happened in

430
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: Hong Kong, which is the most like China in terms

431
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: of you know, age of population, obviously, ethnicity, population density,

432
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: and the vaccines they use. So Hong Kong had a

433
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: bad spring, and now it's done with COVID. The countries

434
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: that are not done with COVID and are going to

435
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: seemingly have to live with us for a while longer.

436
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Our countries like US and countries in Europe that use

437
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: the super fancy new vaccines, those vaccines just look worse

438
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: and worse and worse as time goes on. I mean, clearly,

439
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: they did some good in early twenty twenty one, but

440
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: ever since then they looked like a worse and worse dead.

441
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: So this is why I'm really intrigued by what's going

442
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: on in Florida and the fact that they are essentially

443
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: opening a grand jury in the state of Florida run

444
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: to santus Is to look at whether there was fraud

445
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: from Maderna and Fiser. Now I know, and this is

446
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: me putting on my lawyer had Alex, I know that

447
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: there was immunity given to rush these COVID shots out

448
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: and I'm not even calling them vaccines and haven't been

449
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: for a long time. There's a shot, right, and so

450
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: are you at all intrigued to see whether there may

451
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: be some states start to pursue fraud charges, you know,

452
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: try to get some of this taxpayer funded profits back

453
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: from Maderna and Fiser over effectively a shot they sold

454
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: to us on a fraudulent basis, because, as you have

455
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: pointed out, and we pointed on this show for a

456
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: long time, Alex, they told you, if you get these shots,

457
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: you will neither get nor spread COVID. It'll basically end.

458
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: That didn't happen. And most of the time, when you

459
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: are sold a product and that product is sold for

460
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: profit and it doesn't do what they told you it

461
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: would do, that is called fraud. And the company that

462
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: produces that would be sold to say nothing of the

463
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: delatarious impact that might be coming from the COVID shot,

464
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: which I may want to hold you on to ask,

465
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: but that first question, do you think there are lawsuits

466
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: that should be filed to bring back the profits over

467
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: these shots? Well, I mean I think, Look, I'm glad

468
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Ronda Santas, he's really been in the lead. And this

469
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: from you know, late March twenty twenty, early April twenty twenty.

470
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: And and and I'm old enough to remember, as you

471
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: are a clay people at the Washington Post and elsewhere

472
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: saying that Ronda Santis should be tried for manslaughter. Oh yeah,

473
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: because he didn't lock down slaughter quickly enough. Ronda Santas

474
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: understands the science and has followed this better than any

475
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: other politician in the United States. And look, I think

476
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: it's a long shot. I don't think I think it's

477
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: gonna be very hard because FIS is gonna say, First

478
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: of all, they're gonna say, we have immunity. Second all,

479
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, we you know, we were under enormous pressure.

480
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Society wanted these. We did the trials as best we

481
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: could and as fast as we could, and this is

482
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: what they found. And yeah, the protection didn't last, but

483
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: we didn't know that. So proving that they didn't know that.

484
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: You know, that's where you know, that's where we're gonna

485
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: have to see what the documents show. But they have

486
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: a strong defense. But am I glad to say this

487
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: is doing this? I'm absolutely glad he's doing Can you

488
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: come back for a couple of minutes to close out

489
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: the hour because I want to ask you this question.

490
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: Should people be concerned about the all cause mortality rates

491
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: that are going up? Is there any evidence to reflect

492
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: that that is really connected in any way to the shots?

493
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: Can you come back and help us break that day. Yeah,

494
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk about that. Okay, perfect, We're gonna

495
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: ask Alex about that when we come back, because that's

496
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: data and analysis that I'm curious what he's seeing on

497
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: those numbers. In the meantime, rising inflation, volatile stock market,

498
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: reaching havoc on retirement accounts. Until economic uncertainty turns around,

Speaker 1: great guests hosts with Todd Herman and also with Jason

519
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: Lewis Alex Berenson with us Now okay, Alex All cause

520
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: mortality appears to be rising substantially in many countries that

521
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: got substantial amounts of COVID shots. Is that connected? Should

522
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: we be concerned about what that data is showing. Yeah,

523
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely think we should be concerned. Just

524
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: to be clear, when we talk about COVID shots, I

525
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: always distinguished between the sort of standard inactivated virus old

526
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: style vaccine that's the Chinese and the Indians, and you

527
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: know there are other countries used, and the mRNA vax yes,

528
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: the d and there's there's also something called the DNA vaccine,

529
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 1: which is that Johnson Johnson vaccine that we use. And

530
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: we thought we've made a great bet here. We thought

531
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: these vaccines are so much more effective, you know, they

532
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: raised on anybody levels so much more than these old vaccines.

533
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: We're really going to beat COVID with us. Well, of

534
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: course that didn't happen. And as we talked about on

535
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: the previous segment, and as I've written about in my substance,

536
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: it now looks like that it's certainly with the omicron variant,

537
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: there may be negative efficacy, Okay, but there's a second issue, right, So,

538
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: so negative efficacy is a problem, it's not that big

539
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: a problem as long as a variant stay mild. It

540
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: just means, hey, you're more likely to get this cold

541
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: over and over again. Yeah, so serious variant shows up,

542
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: then we'd have a problem. Fortunately that hasn't happened. Right

543
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: Beyond that, there's sort of the direct potential for side effects.

544
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: So you got this technology. It was tested in thirty

545
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: five thousand people who are who are examined for about

546
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: three months for safety, and then we gave it to

547
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: a billion people. There are signs, as we know that

548
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: these vaccines can cause myer charditis, which is a you know,

549
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: an inflammation of heart tissue in young men, and pericharditis

550
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: which is related to that, and then in some cases

551
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: that can be fatal. But there's this bigger issue which

552
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: is in a lot of countries, especially in Europe, but

553
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: also Australia, Taiwan, other countries that used these vaccines and

554
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: vaccinated basically everybody all cosmortality. Now there's deaths from cancer

555
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: and heart disease and Alzheimer's and diabetes and everything else

556
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: is up a lot this year, okay, and we don't

557
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: know why. And the people who are pro vaccines say, oh,

558
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: it's because of delayed medical care. Well, let me tell

559
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: you a little secret. In Australia they locked down in

560
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. They didn't really have

561
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: any become countries where there was no COVID in twenty

562
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty one or almost no COVID seemed

563
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: to be having this. And there's something else. It started

564
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: to go down, this excess mortality earlier this year, and

565
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: then we boosted and it went back up. And this

566
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: fall we boosted the game all basically only elderly people.

567
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: And guess what all cos mortality went up again, only

568
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: in elderly people. And now the booster campaign. There's one

569
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: good thing. I have one good piece of news in

570
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: all of this, which is now that the booster campaigns

571
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: have basically ended or been rejected in a couple of

572
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: countries that report these deaths pretty quickly. Mortality seems to

573
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: be going down again a little bit. But if you

574
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: add all this up to me, it's hard to escape

575
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: the conclusion that the vaccines should be looked at as

576
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: potential culprit number one, not that we can prove it

577
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: but at this point, but that they should be looked

578
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: at as the most likely cause of this. And I

579
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: want to say one of the things. If you know,

580
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: there's this documentary out there called Diets, Suddenly there's a

581
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of nonsense floating around that you know, fifty percent

582
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: or death or fifty percent deaths or one hundred percent.

583
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: That's not true. Okay, deaths are up ten to fifteen percent,

584
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: which from if you're a vaccine company or your public

585
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: health bureaucrat, that's what you I mean, it's not what

586
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: you want, but it means you can deny that anything

587
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: real is happening. If death we're up one hundred percent,

588
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: we'd all know. So so what I try to do

589
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: that this is be honest without trying to scare people.

590
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: I want to sound the alarm. I want people to

591
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: be aware that this you know that they're this risk

592
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: out there. There's this question that must be answered. But

593
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: not to tell people, hey, you took these vaccines, you're

594
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: going to drop dead tomorrow, because that's not true and

595
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: that's alarming. How much rather would you be people like

596
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: you and me who never got these COVID shots and

597
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: maybe kept your kids from getting them, then the people

598
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: who have gone out and gotten five or six of

599
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: these COVID shots based on the data that you're seeing, Oh,

600
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: there's no question, I mean, especially you know, I mean, look,

601
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: we've all gotten COVID now, right, Yeah, Whether or not

602
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: you got you were whether or not you got the shops,

603
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: you are a risk for Omicron, And as we said

604
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: in the previous segment and I wrote about in the stack,

605
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: you were at higher risk. It looks like for Omicron

606
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 1: with the shot. So what benefit did anybody derive? The

607
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: only section is if you are really high risk. Last

608
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: year there was a brief period when maybe you avoided

609
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: getting DEALTA or the original variant, and those were pretty dangerous.

610
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: You know, if you were three hundred and fifty pounds

611
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: or if you're eighty five years old, those variants could

612
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: actually have killed you. And Amicron it's probably a little

613
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: bit less likely to do that. So those people might

614
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: have benefited. But for somebody like you or me, somebody

615
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,920
