00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: pleased to be joined now by the Senator, one of

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: them from the great state of Tennessee, Senator Marsha Blackburn

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: is with us. Senator, thank you so much for making

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: the time. I'm delighted to join you. Thank you. So,

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: how do you feel about Let's just start with where

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: your state is now, you know, which is also Clay State, Tennessee,

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to the situation of COVID and how

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: we're trying to get back to normalcy here. Oh, well,

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, we have been open for quite a while

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: and as I am talking to Tennessee and some days

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: they are saying, look, we're being careful. People are talking

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: to their doctors. If they're a Canada for a vaccine,

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: they're getting the vaccine. And what they want to make

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: certain is that we get people back to work, that

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: children get back to school, and that those children when

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: they go to school are not going to have to

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: wear masks. I have heard from so many parents that

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: have elementary school children, and they talk about the health issues,

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: whether it's mental health, physical health, emotional health, and the

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: effects of these masks on children. Center Blackburn, thanks for

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: coming on. This is Clay. We live in basically the

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: same area, which is a great area in the state

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: of Tennessee. My kids went back to school today. I

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: start off the show talking about it. We got to

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: go into the classroom, meet the teachers, shake their hands

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: like normal parents would, see the other parents, see the

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: other kids, no masks, and it felt so good to

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: be back to a form of normalcy. How important is

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: it for regular people, kind of people like you and

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: me and everybody out there listening to us right now,

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: to get on with their lives in a normal fashion,

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: no matter where they may live. COVID's not going away.

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: We can't shrink and terror forever. Well in claim that

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: is the thing, and I hear it from people every day,

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: whether I go to the grocery store, or church or

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: one of the grandkids games. What I hear from people

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: is we want life to go back to normal. And

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Those things of being able to

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: take your child into the school building and go to

46
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: the classroom and go through that day with them. That

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: is something that is It's not only important to the

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: emotional helps of the child. That's important to the family

49
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: to be able to have that, to share that experience,

50
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: to talk about the day, to talk about how it's

51
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: important it is to be able to get in the

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: car together and go to the fair without a mask

53
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: on and see your friends and you know, go to

54
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: the pool wo goes it is really hot, and see

55
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: your friends and do those things that we all consider

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: to be normal participations in our everyday life. And people

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: want that. They do not want the federal government to

58
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: come in in mandate mask or mandate vaccines, or to

59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: mandate lockdowns. But here's what we have to realize. The

60
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: left likes lockdowns because it gives them control. They would

61
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: like to have a permanent pandemic. They would like to

62
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: keep you in that state so you're dependent on them.

63
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: You look at the bills and things that are coming

64
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: through us. What are they trying to do make people

65
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: dependent on the federal government by taking more money out

66
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: of your pocket, having it go to Washington, DC, go

67
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: to programs that will have outlived their usefulness by the

68
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: time our kids and grandkids have to start paying this bill.

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: That's what they like. Senator Blackburn, it's buck again. And

70
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: I've talked to you before several times about the unfolding

71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: or just continuing disaster at our southern border. I know

72
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: you're very vocal on this issue. You're speaking about control before.

73
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: It seems like the Bide administration is choosing to be

74
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: out of control when it comes to what's happening at

75
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: the US Mexico border. What can you tell us about

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: where this stands right now, both in terms of any

77
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: possible action in the Congress to deal with this. I mean,

78
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: we know it's not there yet, but could there be

79
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: in the future, and also what it means again in Tennessee,

80
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: well before the Senate right now, I have an amendment

81
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: to this infrastructure behemous which by the way, is not

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: paid for. I have an amendment that would allow them

83
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: to put one billion dollars into a shovel ready infrastructure project.

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: And that amendment says, let's take a billion dollars out

85
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: of Amtrak, and which has already been given billions of

86
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: dollars and let's put that on the southern border to

87
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: build a wall. That is a shovel ready infrastructure project.

88
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: Everything is there, you need to build it. And by

89
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: the way, it would save us some money a because

90
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: where now we're having to pay people to guard all

91
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: of the equipment and supplies and the border wall components.

92
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: We're having to pay people to guard it. So let's

93
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: put a billion dollars in here and build that wall. Now,

94
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: that is something that the Border Patrol has been telling us.

95
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: It's a need. President Trump listen to him. He gave

96
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: them the ability to have more equipment, more boots on

97
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: the grounds, started building the wall. The Biden administration's immigration

98
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: policy is a disaster. They have turned to every town

99
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: into a border town, every state into a border state

100
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: because of the over one million illegal immigrants from one

101
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus countries that have come into this

102
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: country since Joe Biden took the oaths of office. And

103
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: the cartels, you know, buckets, we have talked. The cartels

104
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: are running that border. They are making money off of

105
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: every individual that crosses that border. These people are being

106
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: subjected to physical and sexual abuse, and the cartels are

107
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: making money off of human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking,

108
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: labor gangs, and MS thirteen gangs. And this is what

109
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: we are seeing in our communities. Build the wall, secure

110
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: the border. It's a great infrastructure project that is something

111
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: that we should agree to move forward on. Center Blackburn,

112
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned the infrastructure bill. I want to talk about

113
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: the budget here for a moment, which I know is

114
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: going to be up next. Kristen Cinema came out, senator

115
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: from Arizona and said she wasn't in favor of the

116
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: three point five trillion dollars price tag. I think Joe

117
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: Manchin basically has let it be known he is not either.

118
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Have you been talking to either of those senators. I

119
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: know it's as much of an art as it is

120
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: a science, but what does this budget number end up

121
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: looking like to you? Given that the Democrats have to

122
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: get fifty in order to get through reconciliation, what's the

123
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: cost going to be based on what you're hearing what

124
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm hearing on that three and a half trillion dollars,

125
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: it's really going to be more like five trillion dollars.

126
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: Now they're in mind they have already spent one point

127
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: nine trillion dollars and now they want to spend another

128
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: one point two on infrastructure, so you're up a little

129
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: bit over three. Now Bernie's budget is three and a half,

130
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: but it's going to be more like five. And what

131
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: I think we have to do is back up and

132
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: look at what has happened with our nation's debt. If

133
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: you and I's got a graph on my social media gun,

134
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: my website on this, if you were to start at

135
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: George Washington and go to George W. Bush the day

136
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: he left office, the debt was at ten point six

137
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. That was too much for me, but that's

138
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: what the nation's debt was. Then during Obama's term as president,

139
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: basically we doubled that number. They literally ran the numbers

140
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: off the credit card. Then you have President Trump and

141
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: he added to it, started trying to cut back on

142
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: regulations and size of federal government. We had COVID hit,

143
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: so you had debt got added there, and now Biden

144
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: is pushing us to thirty trillion dollars in debt and

145
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: he has been in office for six months. This is

146
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: something our children and grandchildren, they are going to be paid.

147
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: This in the form of higher taxes. And this budget

148
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: at Bernie is pushing forward. It has a kept gains

149
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: tax increase, it has a corporate tax increase. And by

150
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the way, if you are a small business person, that

151
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: one's going to get you. The marginal rates are going

152
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: to go up. That is going to get a lot

153
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: of our small It's also retroactive, which is crazy to

154
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: mean us in your blackburn like, nobody's hardly talking about that,

155
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: but we don't even know what the rates are going

156
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: to be. Is say you're a business person right now,

157
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: they could go back and say, hey, you've been paying

158
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: tax without even knowing what the rates. It's madness. Well

159
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: it is madness because you're right. They want to make

160
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: it retroactive to the first of the year. Guess what,

161
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wasn't even president on January one. But what

162
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: they're wanting to do is make it retroactive to the

163
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: first of this calendar year. So we're just continuing our

164
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: push to stop as much of this bad action as

165
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: we possibly can. I've got, you know, a total of

166
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: thirty amendments on that bill, that infrastructure bill, and slowing

167
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: this process down, having people look at it and become

168
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: aware having them contact their legislators and saying, hey, we

169
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: do not want you to vote for this infrastructure bill,

170
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: and we certainly don't want you to vote for this budget.

171
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: Senator Marshall Blackburn, thank you so much for being with

172
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: us from the great state of Tennessee. We appreciate it.

173
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: Thank you, Claire. Have you ever done a quick claim

174
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: deed or a warranty deed? You ever gone through the process? I?

175
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: Fortunately I have. Is it kind of amazing how you

176
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: just print something off and you sign it and it's

177
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: certainly not you know, what's yours? Yeah. Yeah, you'd think

178
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: it'd be a lot harder. And that's why the FBI

179
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: is saying that home title fraud is one of the

180
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: fastest growing crimes out there. That's why Clay and I

181
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: both have home title lock on our homes, because your

182
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: title is stored in the cloud. That's right, It's out

183
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: there in the cyber realm, and that's where the cyber

184
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: thieves find it. They then print something off, they forge

185
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: your signature. It's really easy to do this, terrifying how

186
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: easy it is. Honestly, I even had a notary tell

187
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: me once. Yeah, they just forge our notary stuff too.

188
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: So you want to make sure you're protected because otherwise

189
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: you could end up with loans that you never took out, okay,

190
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: demanding payments on it, and you can even lose your

191
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: home entirely to an eviction notice. Clay, Home Title Lock

192
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: is why we're protected, no doubt, And for just pennies

193
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: a day, Home Title Lock will help secure your home's

194
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: title and back it with a million dollar guarantee. Right now,

195
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: you can register your addressed to see you're already a

196
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: victim and you'll get thirty days free when you call

197
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: eight hundred seven O eight lock. That's eight hundred seven

198
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: O eight lock eight hundred seven O eight l o ck.

199
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: See the website for guarantee details. Continuing the mess is

200
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: honoring the memory Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the

201
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: eib Metway. Welcome back in Clay Travis, buck Sexton. We

202
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: are rolling through the program. Hope all of you are

203
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: having a fantastic start to your Friday. Marsha Blackburn there,

204
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean buck hown't about you when we're talking about we.

205
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: I think we had the same conversation with Ron Johnson

206
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: earlier this week, Senator from Wisconsin, where he said, look

207
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: The cost of this budget bill is sort of under

208
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: wraps at three and a half trillion dollars, but if

209
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: you actually look at the numbers and play them forward,

210
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be closer to five trillion dollars or more.

211
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: This is the Bernie budget bill, and so much of

212
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: this is art as opposed to science. We know the

213
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: infrastructure bill is going to cost two hundred and fifty

214
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: billion dollars according to the estimates that came out late

215
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: last night. I don't know how this ends, but it

216
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be good. It ends with a lot of spending.

217
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Clay ends with the Democrats ramming this thing through using reconciliation.

218
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: And really the only question that we're going to see

219
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: answered here other than how much crazy spending are we

220
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: really talking about, is going to be do they manage

221
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: to get something past the parliamentarian in the Senate. I mean,

222
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: they're trying to get really aggressive stuff like essentially an

223
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: amnesty for I believe about five million people through, claiming

224
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: that that would affect the budget through the welfare roles

225
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: that would change as a result of him. And so

226
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: they're just whatever they can try to shoehorn into this.

227
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: That's that's their plan, that's what they're going for, But

228
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: we're going to see how it plays out because Democrats, unfortunately,

229
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: with the way things are right now, have the votes.

230
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: Although I still think this Biden administration is feeling the

231
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: heat in a lot of ways. They can talk about

232
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: the insurrection all day, and they can pretend like they've

233
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: got to handle in the COVID situation. But I think

234
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: people who are persuadable by reality, which is forty to

235
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: forty to forty five percent of Democrats, don't fit into

236
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: that category to be given. But those who are persuadable

237
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: by reality around them, I think are starting to see

238
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: this is not as good as as it should be.

239
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: We did have an open line Friday call outs here,

240
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: so we promised you we'd get to some of that Clay,

241
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you want to get to Joe in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

242
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Let's dive in. What do you got for us? Joke?

243
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Hey guys, A longtime fan of you, Clay. It's new

244
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: to you, Buck, but you've guts. You're doing a great job. Thanks,

245
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: But I want to appreciate that well. I was raised

246
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: by a teacher in the inner city Pittsburgh. She was

247
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: a Hey, my father was a team star for thirty

248
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: six years. I was a Union kid. But you know,

249
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: my wife's now is a teacher in Florida and she

250
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: has all the special ed degrees. And what's said over

251
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: the past two years is the kids who were supposed

252
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: to get held back, and my wife's always in those

253
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: meetings trying to decide can this kid make the jump

254
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: or do they need need to be held back in

255
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: elementary school, which is the foundation when you want to kids.

256
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: You want to hold kids back if they need held back.

257
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: In the past two years, no child in our area

258
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: has been held back because of the all the restrictions.

259
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: And you know, especially the charter schools who treat their

260
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: parents and students like customers, they're not going to hold

261
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: the child children back because they'll go somewhere else and

262
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: that is dangerous and it's only going to hurt them

263
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: going forward. And you know, we're gonna have a ton

264
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: of kids like those stats you gave in I think

265
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: it was Newark that we're just awful and disgusting. They're awful,

266
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: disgusting two years ago, but now they're abysmal. I mean, yeah, Joe,

267
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: just to put it in context, we're talking about only

268
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: thirty percent. Let's say I think it was maybe thirty

269
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: five percent of third graders proficient in in whether it

270
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: was reading or math. I mean that's that's Remember we're

271
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: not talking about people that are performing well having baseline

272
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: statement you know, state assess efficiency. When it goes down

273
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: to ten percent, that means ninety percent of kids in

274
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: the third grade of Newark in this school sample can't

275
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: do very basic math or can't do very basic you know,

276
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: reading and writing. And when you think about what's going

277
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: to happen, those kids get then promoted, which is happening right.

278
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: No kids are getting held back to try to learn

279
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: remedially those those skill sets that they didn't get before.

280
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: It puts an entire classroom of kids at a disadvantage.

281
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes the water finds its weight, so

282
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: to speak, the class can rise or fall together. Instead

283
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: they're all going to be falling together. I think this

284
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: is the biggest failure that is going to be generally

285
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: generationally impactful as it relates to completely and there's a

286
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: bunch completely unnecessary. I mean, thanks for calling in for Florida.

287
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: That's the other part of this play. I mean, if

288
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: you just took a look at what was happening with

289
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: the data. By June of twenty twenty, it was really

290
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: obvious that children weren't being affected by this in a

291
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: way that was of high concern, and that if there

292
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: were going to be frontline employees and a whole bunch

293
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: of different areas of the country, teachers should have been

294
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: considered frontline employees slash. Private and parochial schools were in

295
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: person and did not become superhero. So it's it's not

296
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: like this is theoretical. Public school teachers were told you

297
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: stay at home. Private and parochial. I went to a

298
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: Catholic school here in New York City. They were still

299
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: going all right. They still had in school in school

300
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: learning happening in the fall of twenty twenty of talking

301
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: about now in the fall of twenty to twenty. And

302
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: there's no excuse for this other than the power politics

303
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: involved here. We were that the Democrat controlled unions, or

304
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: really the unions that control the Democrat, depending on how

305
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: you look at it. Wanted a half people work in

306
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: remote clay. That was it. Yeah, And again the people

307
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: who were going to bear the brunt of this are

308
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: the people that are least likely like Corey Bush wanted

309
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: to sleep. We were talking with her about her and

310
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: the clips that she had on the steps to advocate

311
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: for an unconstitutional eviction issue. Where was she buck when

312
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: she needed to be standing up for all those kids.

313
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: That's a question. Who's watching your money these days? Folks.

314

Speaker 1: I can tell you this, it's not your financial advisor.

315
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: He's probably sipping a cocktail somewhere, just trying to collect

316
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: whatever percentage she gets from not doing a very good job.

Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, I'm Buck and

331
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: Clay and I are trying to make sense of everything

Speaker 1: with you right now. All across the country. We have

333
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: open line Friday. In effect pretty obvious because it's Friday.

334
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: The number is eight hundred two eight two to eight

335
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: A two. That's eight hundred two eight two two eight

336
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: eight two. We will get to a whole bunch of

337
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: called they're already racked and stacked first week. We have

338
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: a mission here, Clay, and one of the things that

339
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: we're trying to do is to speak the truth about

340
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: all the madness out there with regard to the way

341
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: that vaccine passports are coming to New York City. As

342
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: of today, it's still happening, and there's no willingness from

343
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: the Biden administration to address the issue of what about

344
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: those who have already had COVID and have antibodies and

345
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: all the truth about it. Here's doctor Marty McCarry, who

346
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: we're going to be having on this show next week

347
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: to talk to us about this specific topic. But here

348
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: he is on Fox News. I wish we would change

349
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: the lexicon and stop talking about the vaccinated and unvaccinated

350
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: and just talk about the immune and non immune. There's

351
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: been this demonization of those who are non immune not vaccinated,

352
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: and it's unfounded. Those who are unvaccinated post no risk

353
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: to the vaccinated beyond that of a common cold. So

354
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: there's so much here, Clay. I mean, one, yes, this

355
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: is what he's saying. Here's a doctor who's saying essentially

356
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: what you and I have been talking about now for weeks,

357
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: and I know so many of the people who are

358
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: with us now feel the same way. The hysteria is

359
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: being pushed by the vaccinated as though they're at substantial

360
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: enough risk from the unvaccinated or from those who are

361
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: likely to get COVID if exposed to it, that their

362
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: hysteria is warranted and it's just not mean this is

363
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: the problem. And then beyond that, we should also be

364
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: talking about immunity that is inclusive of those who have

365
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: had the virus. But instead what you have is you know, CNN,

366
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: I actually was surprised about this. Yesterday just straight up

367
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: fired three employees this broke yesterday, Jeff Zucker, you know,

368
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: had him booted because they showed up to work and

369
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: they had not been vaccinated, which I also would want

370
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: to know. Maybe they just told people or something. But

371
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: how they find out about this? I used to think, Clay,

372
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: they were hippa privacy regulations things like that. I'm apparently

373
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: not not in the COVID era. Well, this again is

374
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: why I would tell you listening to our conversation with

375
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: Alex Barnson yesterday in the final hour of the program

376
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: was so informative and illuminating I think for many of you,

377
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: including us as well. But the way that we are

378
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: defining this has been something we've been arguing for a while.

379
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: I don't understand if you are vaccinated, why you care

380
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: whether someone else is vaccinated? Right, Like, at its most

381
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: basic level, if you feel that it's the right decision

382
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: for you and your family, why does it matter to

383
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: you whether other people are vaccinated. They have chosen to

384
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: take the risk, and there may be a variety of

385
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: different reasons why they're not vaccinated, for instance, Buck and I.

386
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: And that's why I also think this doctor McCarry interview

387
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: and discussion, which we're going to have with him on Monday.

388
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: Is so interesting is he has come out and pointed

389
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: out that there's a big difference between people who have

390
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: natural immunity and vaccine immunity. And we both have natural

391
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: immunity because we both already had COVID. Well, a huge

392
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: percentage I would bet of people that are ending up

393
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: unvaccinated are making the choice not to get the vaccine

394
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: because they've already had COVID and no one talks about him.

395
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard Biden mentioned the idea we hear

396
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: all the time. Hey, seventy percent of eighteen and up

397
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: have been vaccinated. Don't hear it as often, but I

398
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: do think it's significant. Ninety percent of people who are

399
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: sixty five and older have gotten at least one shot,

400
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: and those are the people that are at the most risk.

401
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 1: And there's this idea that the remainder that thirty percent

402
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: of adults everybody else who hasn't made that choice is

403
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: doing it to willfully choose not to take the vaccine.

404
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: But if you've already had it, I'll give you an example, Buck,

405
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: I had chicken pox. Yes, I've never had the chicken

406
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: pox vaccine. There's never been a point in time where

407
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: anybody has suggested to me, Oh my god, how have

408
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: you not gotten the chicken pox vaccine? You don't care

409
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: about somebody's grandma. No, because I had chicken pox when

410
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: I was a kid. I might have gotten a booster

411
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: at some point. I don't even know. I've gotten the

412
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: boosters for all the It's not like I'm anti vaccine.

413
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: I've gotten the boosters for all those things. But usually

414
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: you never hear oh you had it, well, now you

415
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: have to go get it as well. And one of

416
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: the great failures of our COVID response has been the

417
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: lack of data that we have. We know in England

418
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: buck ninety two percent of people either had COVID or

419
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: have gotten the vaccine. We know in India two thirds

420
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: of people have gotten COVID. Almost no one's gotten the vaccine.

421
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: How do we not have that data here? It's absolute madness, right,

422
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: How do we not have that and why wouldn't we

423
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: have it? You know? The former star of the show Friends,

424
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: Jennifer Anniston, has come very publicly and said that she

425
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: is cutting people out of her life now who are unvaccinated.

426
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: Won't see them, won't be around them. This is what's happening,

427
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: and now more and more offices and workplaces are doing

428
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: this too. No one has explained how it's going to

429
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: happen in New York City that you're going to have

430
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: bouncers checking Is that not necessarily bouncers, but someone check

431
00:24:52,800 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: effectively vaccine status at every place you're gonna want to go, bars, restaurants, movies, etc. Gyms,

432
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: And how over half the city's African American population right

433
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: now is not vaccinated. Therefore they're just going to be

434
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: as of a couple of weeks from now, a few

435
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: weeks from now, excluded from all of that. Nobody has

436
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: explained how that's okay, how that's gonna not be a

437
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: big problem. I mean, the Debloge administration just seems to

438
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: think that maybe by bluffing us all into this, everyone's

439
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: going to rush out. There has been a surgeon vaccination

440
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: in some places. But it just goes to show you

441
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: how much the same way that masks went from an

442
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: epidemiological alleged epidemiological tool that then turned into a political

443
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: symbol that then transformed into something more like a religious

444
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: symbol for a lot of people, you're seeing the same

445
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: thing with vaccines. Now it's not even about whether you're

446
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: at risk. For a lot of folks, it's not even

447
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: about whether you should be concerned with what someone else does.

448
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: It's this is the campaign until one hundred percent of

449
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: those who can be vaccinated our vaccinated in this country.

450
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: There are a lot of folks out there who will

451
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: continue to be unhappy with the search, the situation and

452
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: will insist, they will insist that there will be measures

453
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: taken to force everybody else to have to go and

454
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: do this. I mean, here's got Governor Hogan, for example,

455
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: who's just saying it's technically a Republican, which is always amazing.

456
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure this guy's a Republican government, all right,

457
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: And I mean he's theoretically a Republican here he is

458
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: traffic care what misinformation or conspiracy theories that you have heard.

459
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: The plain and simple fact is that these vaccines are working.

460
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: If you're still unsure about the vaccines, here is the

461
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: important fact for you to consider. Nearly every single person

462
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: hospitalized or dying with COVID nineteen in Maryland right now

463
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: is unvaccinated. So he's just saying it's it's something that

464
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: comes down to conspiracy theory. It comes down to people

465
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: who have misinformation. Meanwhile, we can't get a very basic,

466
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: straightforward answer on okay, what about those who have had it?

467
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: And I think the challenge here is, and we talked

468
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: about this with alex ap parents and yesterday we are

469
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: being sold and I think this is where what you

470
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: are being sold and what the reality ends up being

471
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: is a significant issue. We're being sold on the idea

472
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: that if a hundred percent of Americans were vaccinated, COVID

473
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: would have disappeared, wouldn't exist anywhere. I don't think that

474
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: that is true if you look at the data that

475
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: came out of Israel and the data that came out

476
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: of England. But in the meantime, by the way, as

477
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: we are rolling through this free for all Friday, I

00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: with us. Buck, do you feel a little bit like

504
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: we hit the middle of the week and there was

505
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: such a frenzy with all of a sudden vaccine passports

506
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: from DUBLASO Andrew Cuomo and all the controversy. Finally, middle

507
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: of our show, we get that report, and it's like

508
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: people just kind of want to take a breath and

509
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: slide into a weekend. Oh yeah, it feels it feels

510
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of like a summer Friday, which we haven't really

511
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: had because everything's been so frenzied for so many years now.

512
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: But I was just kind of looking at the news

513
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: stories I got, like you CNN, Fox News. Feels like

514
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: people are like, hey, let's just kind of slide into

515
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: it now. Maybe something crazy He's gonna happen in the

516
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: next hour, and I'll be like, oh, strike that. But

517
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: it feels like kind of a slide into the Friday day.

518
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: We'll dude, It's it's August, and as you know, when

519
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: all the journos go on vacation, especially again in the

520
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: middle of late August, all of a sudden, less is

521
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: happening in the world because there are less people to

522
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: report on it. Yeah, but we could tell everybody to

523
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: give a little little sense of insideriness here that somehow

524
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: Clay and I managed to show up today without coordinating

525
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: wearing the exact same color of like burnt orange T shirt,

526
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: not even not like a white T shirt or we

527
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: we somehow there are different T shirts the same color.

528
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: Where this is starting to get weird, folks. Well, I

529
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: mean the one time we need somebody like looking at

530
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: us is I mean we had Ali who's our producer.

531
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: We had a call for some advertisers and she was like, Hey,

532
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna wear blue and Buck's gonna wear white. So

533
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: we didn't look the exact same and the outfit because

534
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: it happened on Fox News the one time we didn't

535
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: do it. It It actually looked like there was a Clay

536
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: and Clay and Buck uniform that we looked like planned it. Yeah,

537
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: it looked like we had planned it anyway. So that's

538
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: that was our fun little moment for to day. That's

539
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: what happens when you spend three hours a day doing

540
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: a radio show together, folks, you start showing up wearing

541
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: the same color patterns. Bruce in Wichita falls. Good to

542
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: have you on, Bruce. How are you doing? We're good?

543
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: What's up? I want to I'd like to have somebody

544
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: address if there's a correlation between the Bible administrations held

545
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: in it pretty close to the vest as to where

546
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: they're sending a lot of these illegals. Is there a

547
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: correlation between the increasing code and where they're sending the

548
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants? Now, Bruce, you know it's intrigued because we

549
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: know that there's been some reporting that and thank you

550
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: for calling it from Wichita Falls. There have been thousands

551
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: in the last sixty days alone, thousands of confirmed cases

552
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: of illegal aliens crossing the border in violation of US

553
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: law and having COVIDU. We don't know because we have

554
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: very very weak data on where individuals who may have

555
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: had COVID have gone, and we haven't been able to

556
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: certainly prove. Look, there's a lot of COVID among the

557
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: US population in general. I don't think it's I think

558
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: it's very unlikely. You'd be able to say that, you know, well,

559
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: we don't know, but it's very unlikely that a vast

560
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: majority of it is coming across the border right now.

561
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: It's being spread in areas of the country where you

562
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: couldn't point to illegal immigrants arriving as the major issue.

563
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's going on. But we shouldn't

564
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: have right now, given the rules around entry into the

565
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: United States, given the mandates about vaccination for people in

566
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: different different jobs. By the Clay, I was at United

567
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Airlines that just announced they're going to have vaccines. Yeah,

568
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: I think to your point, Buck, with the huge hypocrisy here,

569
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: and I thought Ron de Santis hit hit on it

570
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: really strongly yesterday, was how are you going to be

571
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: mandating these COVID vaccines in many different cities for instance

572
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: of vaccine passports we were just talking about in New

573
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: York City that LA is also looking at, and you're

574
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: letting people come across the border without any COVID tests

575
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: at all. And again, I think this is an important

576
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: part and we kind of hit on it yesterday with

577
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: Alex Barrenson. If you're concerned about variants, and that seems

578
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: to be what some of the vaccinated people will say, well,

579
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: you have to get the vaccine too, because delta variant,

580
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: we could have who knows what it's going to be,

581
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Zeta variant one day, that's super super contagious. Those are

582
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: all going to come from outside of the country by

583
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: and large, because seventy percent of adults in the United

584
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: States are vaccinated now, and if that's the case, the

585
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: countries where the variants are emerging are massively populated and

586
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: with tiny levels of vaccination. Right not to me is

587
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: a really strong argument about the border that DeSantis kind

588
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: of hit on in his attack on that Biden over Florida.

589
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: That's why he was slapping down the Biden criticisms about

590
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: Florida and Texas, which this has been one of the

591
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: favorite employees that the Democrats have used all along. They

592
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 1: ignore data that they don't like, and then they just

593
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: pound data as one snapshot in time. You know, if

594
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: there's a forty percent increase over the course of a

595
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: week in cases in Florida, let's say, oh my gosh,

596
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: look what's happening. But that's okay, Well, what was the

597
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: baseline in Florida before? Then? What's the baseline been the

598
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: last six months? Is it the case that Florida is

599
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: actually some kind of an outlier for being so bad

600
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: for COVID hospitalizations and fatalities overall? No, it is not.

601
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: So is it really an important data point to say

602
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: that Florida would be up thirty percent or the last

603
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: let's say two weeks when it comes to cases as

604
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: a indicator of Rhonda Santis has done a bad job.

605
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: That's the fake leap they make based upon cherry pick

606
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: data that we can't allow them to get away with.

607
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Rocky in uh La Vista, Where is that, Rocky? Where

608
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: are you? Heyka Vista, Nebraska? Great? Thanks Rocky? What's up? So?

609
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: I have a question for play He was a lawyer.

610
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: So with all these large corporations in the federal government

611
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: mandating people to take these vaccines, are they now assuming

612
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: the liability for adverse effects from the vaccine. It's a

613
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic question, Rocky. And I don't want to

614
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: pretend that I'm a law and virology or the law

615
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: and vaccination expert as it pertains to this question, but

616
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 1: it's one that I have had asked a lot, and

617
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: it is. Let's pretend I'm just going to toss out

618
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: an employer here, all right, it's a big employer. Let's

619
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 1: pretend you work at Disney, and let's pretend that Disney

620
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: mandates you get the vaccine, and for most people they

621
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: will be totally fine. But when you get the vaccine

622
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: for Disney, you have one of these rare reactions, and

623
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: as a result, you have a significant health consequence with

624
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: Disney which mandated your vaccine be liable for your ability

625
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: to have taken that vaccine. Again, fantastic question. I don't

626
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 1: know the answer officially because I am not an expert

627
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: in the law of vaccination, and frankly, I don't know

628
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: of a lot of cases like these. Buck. You may

629
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: know differently where there have been charges come out or

630
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: I think, I think this is an area of law

631
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: where even the lawyers are still figuring out how this

632
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: is going to go. And liability for businesses has been

633
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: a big challenge here, all along with whether I mean,

634
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: do they want to enforce these mandates or do they

635
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: feel like they could be sued or you know, that

636
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: was a big, big challenge for reopening. But you know,

637
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: there's been some Democrats, in my mind at least exploiting

638
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: law enforcement suicides from a number of cops Capitol Hill

639
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: police who have committed suicide in recent months. Let's talk

640
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: about where we are with this and what's true, what's

641
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: not or what's known and what is not known at

642
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: this stage, and how once again trying to weaponize a

643
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: story for political effect. Plus we'll get into more calls

644
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: try to end later on in the hour on a

645
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: high note for sure. Eight hundred two A two two
