Welcome in everybody to the Monday edition 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show here on 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Martin Luther King's Junior Today. Thanks for being with us. 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: Hope you had a good weekend. We've got some big 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: news stories to get to. A synagogue targeted in Cullyville, 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Texas by an Islamic radical of the weekend, a hostage standoff, 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: the FBI said something bizarre in the immediate aftermath of it. 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: We'll break that one down for you. Plus some new 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: polling out of Rasmussen that suggests your live neighbor or 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: friend or colleague may have even more extreme views about 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: what should be done to you if you refuse the 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: vaccine than you would ever anticipated. We're talking about taking 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: away your freedom, taking away your job, obviously, taking away 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: your kids. Maybe it's stunning the percentages. We'll break down 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: those numbers for you and just a little bit, but 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: I want to start with actually some really encouraging news. 18 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: Clay and I had covered the incredible win of governor 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 1: now governor just sworn in, just taken the office. Glenn 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: Younkin in Virginia of Virginia's estate that had been trending 21 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: very blue in recent years, and Younkin had a big 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: win over Terry mccauliffe. Well, he's come into office and 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: he's come in swinging right away. You have, on his 24 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: first day he has ended the state mask mandate for 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: public schools, ended the COVID vaccine mandate for state workers, 26 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: banned critical race theory from the classroom, and he is 27 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: setting himself up to be right away following up on 28 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: the promise, the initial promise of his campaign, which had 29 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: to do with parents' rights in education and a more 30 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: sane view of governance in the state of Virginia. Overall, 31 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: here he is on making sure that parents writes our protection. 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: That that tweet came out from Arlington County within minutes 33 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: of my executive order. What that tells me is they 34 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: have listened to parents. Yet. You know, there's one thing 35 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: that hopefully everybody heard in November is it is time 36 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: to listen to parents. So over the course of this week, 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: I hope they will listen to parents because we will 38 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: use every resource within the governor's authority to explore what 39 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: we can do and will do in order to make 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: sure that parents writes are protected. So Clay, you and 41 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: I both have the experience kind of funny action center. 42 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: You're a Nashville guy, I'm a New York City guy 43 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: of spending considerable time in our nation's capital. And Arlington, 44 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Virginia is really just an adjunct or an annex of Washington, 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 1: d C. It is very blue, a lot of there's 46 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: actually some very very wealthy counties there. Per capita intends 47 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: to be a Democrat's stronghold. As soon as the governor 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: comes in and says there's no more mask mandate in schools, 49 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: Arlington puts out a tweet saying, well, we're just not 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: gonna We're not going to go along with that. I mean, 51 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: I think this is so interesting, the non compliance when 52 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: lives are in power with this stuff, it's we have 53 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: the power to do it. The moment they lose the power, 54 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: it's we're going to do it anyway. But young Cain 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: saying the parents are the ones I'm representing here, well, 56 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: and I just want to emphasize again how much of 57 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: a ridiculous battle this is. If you want your kid 58 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: in an in ninety five mask, if you want your 59 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: kid triple masked up. You have the right to do 60 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: that as a parent. What all of these Republican governors 61 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: are saying is we're just not going to allow the 62 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: mandate to continue to exist. And I saw this as 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: soon as the news came out that he had been 64 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: inaugurated these first actions. We should also mention, by the way, 65 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: that his top advisor now on COVID is doctor Marty McCarry, 66 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: who has been on this show a great number of 67 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: times and has given consistently fantastic advice as it pertains 68 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: to what children should be doing, in particular with COVID 69 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: and buckas probably won't surprise you, But as soon as 70 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: that happened in the Washington Post, the headline did you 71 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: see this headline? The Washington Post governor elect. This was 72 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: right before he was signed in. Glenn Junkin has named 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: a respected food physician who opposes blanket vaccine mandates and 74 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: downplayed the threat of the coronavirus to children as his 75 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: head advisor on pandemic response. Now that's a New York 76 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: that is sorry. The Washington Post headline downplayed the threat 77 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: of coronavirus to children? Did he downplay the threat buck 78 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: or did he accurately share data on what was going 79 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: on with children and COVID, because this, to me is 80 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: evidence of how unfair the media can be. This is 81 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: not an opinion piece. Right if somebody at the Washington 82 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: Post wanted to write an opinion piece, and I'm sure 83 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: they will, Glenn Junkin is endangering children everywhere by ending 84 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: the mask band aid and hiring doctor Marty McCarry to 85 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: be his new advisor on COVID related issues. That's an 86 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: opinion piece. I disagree with it, You disagree with it. 87 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: Many of the people out there in our audience disagree, 88 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: and probably the majority of Virginia voters who put Glenn 89 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: Junket into office would disagree with it. But that's their 90 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: right as an opinion piece. What happens is this gets 91 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: disguised as news, as if his opinions on COVID and 92 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: children are somehow downplaying. He's just shared the actual data. 93 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: You're not downplaying anything when you share the legitimate data 94 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: when it comes to kids in COVID. And so I 95 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: give credit to Glenn Yunkin for coming out making that 96 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: decision to hire McCarry. Latipo, by the way, also a 97 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: fantastic hire that Rohnda Scantis has made as the Florida 98 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: Surgeon General. These are guys that are incredibly well educated, 99 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: that are at the very peak of the intellectual rigor 100 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: that you would want for a doctor and scientist advising 101 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: policy to represent, and yet they immediately get attacked. But 102 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: I love elections, as Obama said, have consequences, and if 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: I'm in Virginia right now, I'm loving the immediate actions 104 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: that have been undertaken by Glenn Yonkin. The fact that 105 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: he comes in as well and bands by executive order 106 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: CRT teaching in the classroom. Fascinating to watch so many 107 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: of the libs running around saying there's no CRT in schools, 108 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: and then when you say, well, we're going to ban 109 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: the teaching of CRT in schools, they completely freak out. 110 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: So it can't be both of these things. It can't be. 111 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: They can't have it both ways. Here he is just saying, 112 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: the new governor of Virginia, We're going to remove this 113 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: kind of politics from the classroom starting today. We will 114 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: raise standards, we will raise teacher pay, we will invest 115 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: in facilities, we will invest in children with disabilities. We 116 00:06:49,320 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: will remove politics from the classroom and refocus on essential Yes, 117 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: we will remove politics from the classroom, and we will 118 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: focus on essential math and science and reading, and we 119 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: will teach all of our history, the good and the bad. 120 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: Isn't it fascinating Clay that when he says things like 121 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: we will focus on teaching math and English, you know 122 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: that the National Teachers Unions and a lot of the 123 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: education a lot of the education commissars out there bristle 124 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: at that. Somehow they get upset about a refocusing on 125 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: what schools are really supposed to be doing in the 126 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: first place, because they've recognized and they've used for a 127 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: long time to schools as indoctrination factories. They're teaching kids 128 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: to think about the world, particularly about America a certain way. 129 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: And so all you have to do is see their 130 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: response to someone saying, let's focus on the actual nuts 131 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: and bolts of an education and a lot less on teaching, 132 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: whether it's critical race theory or some other form of 133 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: swing indoctrination of the schools. They you can always tell 134 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: who's effective by how much the left hates him. The 135 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: left is really starting to hate Glen Jungen, which is 136 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: a great side well, and also I think it's hard 137 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: for them to attack him. And this is I think 138 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: a representative sample of what Republicans can take as we 139 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: move into the twenty twenty two mid term. I saw 140 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: data point out there. I'm sure you did. Two Buck 141 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: Gallup does a regular poll on which party is favored 142 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: in the moments going on right now. Every quarter they 143 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: have a constantly running poll. Republicans have moved to plus five, 144 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: which is the highest level Republicans have been nationwide since 145 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, effectively in terms of the national response 146 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: and what people are saying. And I think Glenn young Can, 147 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: like candidates, are incredibly difficult to attack because one, Glenn 148 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: Yungcan is very smart. Two he is primarily a business 149 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: and data based guy. He's going to look at the facts, 150 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: make a rational analysis of the facts, and come up 151 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,479 Speaker 1: with a policy that fits those facts. And what Democrats 152 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: have failed to recognize is they've basically, while they're trying 153 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: to wrap themselves and say we're the Party of Science, 154 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: they basically have become a party that is very anti facts. 155 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: Whenever facts are uncomfortable for Democrats, you know what they do, 156 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: They immediately call the person who is sharing those facts 157 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: a racist, a sexist, a homophobe. That's their only attack. 158 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: They don't engage in intellectual debate anymore. The Democratic Party 159 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: has become very much of a leap of faith party. 160 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: And so when you have Glenn Nkan and he's laying 161 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: out these basic facts here, and he hires doctor Marty McCarry, 162 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: who's going to help him analyze those facts. The way 163 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: that Republicans are sort of putting Democrats into a tough 164 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: spot is they're making Democrats just go back to the old, 165 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: tried and true attacks of everything is racist, and it 166 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: doesn't land on guys like these who are hyper rational. 167 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: I think those punches are becoming weaker. As we talked 168 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: about last week, that boy who cried wolf, everything is 169 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: racist angle eventually people stopped turning. Just like in the 170 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: old children's story, even when the wolf shows up, people 171 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: won't recognize it anymore. Democrats have so overplayed their hand 172 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: they don't even really know what to do. And I 173 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: think you're seeing that with the voting rights bill in 174 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: National Buck as well, which was supposed to remember, the 175 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: deadline that Schumer put in place was today Buck. He 176 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: was saying, we have to have this done by Martin 177 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: Luther king Day, and now he's bumped it till later 178 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: in the week. They're going to lose and that story 179 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: is not working. Jen Psaki responded to the Governor young 180 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: Kin order on masks. Remember they always frame this as 181 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: like a band on masks. That's not what's it's you 182 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: don't have to wear a mask, because I tried, and 183 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: by the way, that would have been far more acceptable 184 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: to me all along. If people want to wear a mask, 185 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: that's one thing. If you want to be on a 186 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: plane masking up between bites like an idiot, that's up 187 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: to you. But the fact that I have to do 188 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: it too. The objectional part, the fact that people who 189 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: have reasonable emotional health and rational ability to think through things, 190 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be forced to cater to the neuroses of 191 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: libs who watch too much MSNBC. And Jensaki here responds 192 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: to you know, responds to Junkin's order with and this 193 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: is the White House Press secretary. Everybody, We all know 194 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: that Hi there, Arlington County parent here. Don't believe you 195 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: are Glenn Youngkin, but correct me if I'm wrong. Thank 196 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: you for Arlington County Public School, Virginia for standing up 197 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: for a kids teachers and administrators and their safety in 198 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: the midst of a transmissible variant. First of all, all 199 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: the variants are transmissible. Yeah, so what the heck is 200 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: that supposed to mean? And everyone needs to understand this 201 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: isn't the context of the big push now has become 202 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: ND ninety five masks and double masking for kids in schools. Now. 203 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you have actually tried 204 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: to wear it END ninety five masks for a long 205 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: periods of time. Even medical personnel will tell you it's 206 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: really uncomfortable. It's it's much hard, it's harder to breathe through, 207 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: it's heavier on you on your face. This is crazy. 208 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: But this is now where they're going because they've had 209 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: to admit that the cloth masks do not stop the 210 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: spread of the omicron infection in any meaningful way. And 211 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: so Jen Psaki is one of these parents who wants 212 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: your kid if you live in Virginia. I know a 213 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: lot of you don't live in Virginia. Most of you don't, 214 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: but if you do live in Virginia, she wants your 215 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: kids to have to wear an N ninety five masks 216 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: now in school. That's where we are Clay, it's gotten 217 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: pretty insane well, and again the science doesn't support it 218 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: in any way. I think we need to talk about 219 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: that a bit more. Because Jensaki has tried to lean 220 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: on her fact of being a parent as evidence of 221 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: why everybody should have to make the same choice that 222 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: she makes. Why is that true at all? I think 223 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: we need to continue to emphasize the fact that this 224 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: is not a parental mandate that you can't wear a mask. 225 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: If you're terrified, have your kid wear a mask. If 226 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: you're not, you shouldn't be forcing it. In the meantime, 227 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: finding a job in this crazy economy, As if it 228 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: isn't frustrating enough now, there are reports of at least 229 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: thirty six thousand fake job listings in the US designed 230 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: to fool you into sharing driver's license, infos so security numbers, 231 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: and more. Classic move on the part of a smart 232 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: cyber hackers capitalizing on a crazy job market to try 233 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: to get you to give up important information. That's why 234 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: you need to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are 235 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: affecting yours and our lives every day, our infos at 236 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: risk on the internet in an instant a cybercriminal can 237 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: steal what's yours, sometimes even harm your finances, your credit, 238 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: your reputation.

Wanted to play this cut too, because there's 257 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about how exactly the Republican Party 258 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two should balance their relationship with Donald Trump, 259 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: and this is well, maybe we'll get into at the 260 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: top of the next hour. Buck the discussion they're trying 261 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: to create some conflict the media is between Ron DeSantis, 262 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: governor of Florida, and Donald Trump, who also is in Florida. 263 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: Right now. I'll talk about why I think that's going on. 264 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: We can discuss that at the top of the second hour. 265 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: But first, Glenn Young Cain talked about keeping Trump while 266 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: also embracing his policies. The great big bear hug. He said, 267 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: listen to this. What we did in Virginia over the 268 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: last year was gives everyone a great big bear hug. 269 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: We in fact embraced all Virginians. And I've said before 270 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: that I so deeply appreciated President Trump's support. We brought 271 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: together a coalition of folks that had never been in 272 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: the room together forever Trumpers and never Trumpers, moderates, Democrats. 273 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: We campaign places that Republicans have historically not campaigned, and 274 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: that resulted in record vote levels and all minority communities. 275 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: What we demonstrated is that this is about bringing people together. 276 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: I think it's a fantastic answer buck for everybody out 277 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: there who's a Republican politician that's being asked, because they're 278 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: going to keep saying January six than the twenty twenty election, 279 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: and keep trying to drag you into the past as 280 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two gets closer and closer. I think Glenn 281 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: Young can nailed it and showed every Republican statewide but 282 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: also congressional candidate, how you embrace what Donald Trump represents 283 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: while simultaneously trying to go out in your individual districts 284 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: or states and grow the overall brand of the Republican Party. 285 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: I also think Clay that as we look forward not 286 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: only to the midterm elections, but to the presidential election 287 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: a few years from now, the best thing that a 288 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: lot of these Republicans can do that are governors is 289 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: show how much better governance is in states like Florida 290 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: and now in Virginia than what you've seen in the 291 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: blue lockdown madness Epicenters out there right New York and 292 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: California have been miserable, psychotic, neurotic places to live for 293 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: going on two years. Now, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and now 294 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: Virginia are going to be places that people can look 295 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: at and say, hold on a second, there was a 296 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: better way that governance. As you said, elections matter. It 297 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: is the best thing or the most memorable thing I 298 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: think Obama ever said. Elections have consequences. They do, and 299 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: they are going to have real consequences in the state 300 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: of Virginia as well. And I like that he doesn't 301 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: waste any time that youngcan isn't wasting any time. He 302 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: comes right in just like the Santis did, by the way, 303 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: and starts going right after the issues that he ran 304 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: on and is holding the line on it so far. 305 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: So it's early, but all indicators are good. You know. 306 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: There's some movement from the Attorney General of the State 307 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: of Virginia too that I wanted to get to. Yeah, 308 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: it's fantastic. I mean, I love that they were lined 309 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: up and ready to go as soon as they took 310 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: office to deliver on the promises that they made to 311 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: people all over Virginia. It was a monster win. But 312 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: sometimes people win and they don't actually follow through. As 313 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: all of this out there listening no on much of 314 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: what they promise. That's one of the big issues with 315 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: politicians today is that trust factor. Glenn Junkin immediately delivered, 316 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: and so did his Attorney general and his Lieutenant governor. 317 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: I got started off the same way as I do 318 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: every day today with a cup of Black Rifle Coffee. 319 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: There is a veteran own coffee company that serves premium 320 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: coffee to people who love America.

That turned around about what 340 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: eighteen months ago, now more than that, almost two years ago, 341 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: and very much coincided with the rise of the BLM 342 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: movement and the Democrat Progressive Prosecutor Project Soros backed prosecutors 343 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: in major cities across the country who think that, you know, 344 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: why punish criminals. It's society's fault, that's not the criminals fault. 345 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: This was a fallacy that unfortunately became fashionable among leftists 346 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: in power in the sixties and seventies, and the country 347 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: suffered as a result. We're back to that fallacy again, 348 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: and we have to fight back against it, and I'm 349 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: happy to see that in Virginia again. Virginia racking up 350 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: some wins early on here with its new government, new 351 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: new lieutenant governor, governor knew governor obviously, and now also 352 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: new state Attorney General Jason Mijarez, who came right in. 353 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: And this is a lesson that Republicans need to learn 354 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: in general. You cannot leave ideologically motivated and very dedicated 355 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: leftists in positions of power than the bureaucracy. You can't 356 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: let them burrow deep in and become a deep state, 357 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: or else they will hobble your agenda. I mean, they 358 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: will actually undermine you. This happened to Trump when he 359 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: was president. They should have had They just didn't. They 360 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: didn't have personnel ready to go to take over a 361 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: lot of agencies that they should have. I know they weren't. 362 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: It was a new team and they weren't politically seasoned 363 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: in this regard. But they suffered the consequences at some 364 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: level of having people who were saying they wouldn't actually 365 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: go forward with the agenda of the administration, they would 366 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: thwart the will of Trump and the people who elected him. Well, 367 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: Jason Maarez in Virginia is doing the right thing. Remember 368 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: he's replacing Mark Herring, who was, I believe, at one 369 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: point calling for Ralph Northam to step down for his 370 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: black face controversy, the former governor of Virginia and then 371 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: Mark Herring had to say, I might also have a 372 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: black face controversy. I can't totally remember. This is a 373 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: story is so funny, isn't it so ridiculous? And then 374 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: they had the lieutenant governor who was accused of rape 375 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: by multiple women two women? Yeah? Yeah, So they had 376 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 1: the governor, the lieutenant governor, and the attorney general, who 377 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: would have been the stair stats Really why Northam I 378 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: think kept his job because they were going to have 379 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: to replace basically the entire lot of them, and then 380 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: it would have gone, I believe to a Republican right 381 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: the fourth position, and so they just decided to hold 382 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: the wall for Northam, who, by the way, we should 383 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: mention a buck. Did you see that he gave He 384 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: gave a pardon to a state senator who had had 385 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: an affair with an underage woman that he ended up marrying. 386 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: One of his final acts in office, Northam gave a 387 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: pardon to a Democratic senator who had an affair. I 388 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: don't know it was an affair or I don't know 389 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: if he was single or whatever, but he anyways an 390 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: underage girl working in his office. He later married her 391 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: and they now have children. But but you know, it's 392 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 1: not theoretically, when you're a grown man, you're not supposed 393 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: to be sleeping with underage employees. And so he pardoned that. 394 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: So here we have Miarez coming in and cleaning cleaning house, 395 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: so to speak. Right away, thirty personnel changes. Now what 396 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: most notably the civil Rights Division, which is always whether 397 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: you're in the DOJ at the federal level or if 398 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: you go to a lot of these states, the civil 399 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: rights division is where you're going to find basically community 400 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: organizers with law degrees who are going to do everything 401 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: they can to try to advance a leftist agenda and 402 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: use the power of the state to do it. Cleared 403 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: the whole thing out, the whole civil rights it gone 404 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: says see you later, and included the solicitor general, a 405 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: general and deputies that served under Herring beforehand. This is 406 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: the way it has to be. This is a lesson, 407 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: and it's broader than just what Maris is doing. And 408 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: there's one more thing I want to say about his 409 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: initial statements going into this role as state attorney general, 410 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: because folks, this is about the template, right, This is 411 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: about if you are in a red state, is your 412 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: red state doing enough? You know, are you happy with 413 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: the Republican government that you have? And if you're in 414 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: a purple state, that could that has been trending or 415 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: could go read the next time around. Here's the playbook. 416 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: We've said this about young can olong find issues that 417 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: matter two real people, implement them and govern well. Let 418 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: the Democrats be the party of crying about climate change 419 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: all day. Let republic can be the ones about better schools, 420 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: safer streets, and a more functional society that's not running 421 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: around in terror, terror of faucism all the time. But 422 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: I would I mentioned that the crime issue too, Clay. 423 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: Not only is he changing the personnel, which has to happen. 424 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: People need You need people around you. You can trust 425 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: in these roles, whether you're an attorney general, a governor, 426 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: a president. He also has said that he will bring 427 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: charges and this was key, This is why I was 428 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: thinking of the criminal justice issue. He Miaras will bring 429 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,959 Speaker 1: charges as he's allowed to understate law in any districts 430 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: within Virginia where a likely Sorrows backed prosecutor is like, ah, 431 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna let that, We're gonna let that violent crime go. 432 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: He's like, no, you're not not on my watch. That's 433 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: what we need to hear. Look, the line up here 434 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: in Virginia is I think a crystal clear and emblematically 435 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: representative sample of what Republicans need to run on in 436 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Because we know that already you're going 437 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: to have by the summer, there will be a major 438 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: focus on trying to tear down Republican ideas, and there'll 439 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: be an attempt this is what the Democrats are going 440 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: to try to do. They're gonna focus, i believe, on 441 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: January sixth, and they're going to focus on voting rights, 442 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: and they're going to focus on try to focus on abortion, 443 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: and much of that will be backwards looking. I think 444 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: you win elections by focusing on what's in front of you, 445 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: and that's what Glenn Yunkin did, and he has provided 446 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: an incredible template for everybody out there to follow and 447 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: his staff when some seers first woman, I believe, and 448 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: certainly the first minority woman to ever be lieutenant governor 449 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: in the history of Virginia, even though that hasn't gotten 450 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: very much attention in the mainstream press. Of course, it 451 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: would be a massive story if this were a democratic regime, 452 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: and we talked about the mess that was with Northram 453 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: and with Fair Facts and with Harry. The trio there, 454 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: the trio that we have seen so far in positions 455 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: of prominence in Virginia has to make Democrats really really 456 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: nervous because not only did they run on exactly what 457 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: they were going to do already, buck in the first 458 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: day and a half two days of their administration, they 459 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: come out and make an incredible and massive statement about 460 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: what exactly they believe in really significant. We're seeing right 461 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: away that there can be decisions made that affect people's lives. 462 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I think in a lot of ways play 463 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: just that at a broader philosophical level, people have started 464 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: to think more and more about the you know, it's 465 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: really just the federal government that makes a difference in 466 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: your life, because there's so much that's been become part 467 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: of the federal of Iathan. But really now COVID has 468 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: brought home to people that your state government does make 469 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: a huge difference, often for the negative. Ask anybody who's 470 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: lived in New York, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, Illinois last 471 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: two years, among other places. But it matters to establish 472 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: at that state level government that is effective, that is 473 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: saying that is responsive to the needs of people, that's 474 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: responsive to data, and then that becomes a part of 475 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: the narrative overall at the national level of Republicans are 476 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: trying to govern well, they're trying to make the streets safer. 477 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: You know, if someone's out there clubbing old ladies over 478 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: the head with lead pipes. Republicans are the ones that 479 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: are gonna say, you gotta go to prison. You're a 480 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: dangered as society and you have to pay the price. 481 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: Let Democrats be the ones who have, you know, pseudo 482 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: intellectual debates about whether or not this is society's fault. 483 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: Then that's why Meyer is coming in right away saying 484 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: none of this Soros prosecutor nonsense, where we're not going 485 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: to you know what Bragg did in New York City. 486 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Notice the difference. Bragg starts in New York City as 487 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: the new DA and he's saying armed robbery, not going 488 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: to go for a criminal sentence on that one. Mires 489 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: comes in and not only does he say we're going 490 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: to send you away for on brobbery, it's like if 491 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: any of the district attorneys in this state try to 492 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: get around that, I'm going to take over their case, 493 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: we need to mention, by the way, too, that awful 494 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: story that happened in the New York City subway that 495 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: I think is emblematic of the degree of lawlessness that's 496 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: going on. Forty year old Asian woman just gets shoved 497 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: right in front of the right in front of the 498 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: subway by a man with severe mental issues. That, frankly, 499 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it's just a disgrace. The Democrats 500 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: in this city, and I will tell you this in 501 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: New York City have largely normalized that you have to 502 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: walk around people who are clearly and I don't mean 503 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 1: it clearly insane screaming profanity at strangers on the street, 504 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, running out into traffic and yelling insane things 505 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: and walk I mean no person would interact with And 506 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: it's all over the place. It's all over the place. 507 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: It's every time you're on the subway, every time you're 508 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: walking on the street. And I've dealt with it. I 509 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: have family members who have dealt with it. And if 510 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: you bring it up too much, it's you know, you're 511 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: not social justice aware enough or something where you know 512 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: you are not solving the problem because you want law 513 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: enforcement to get involved. Someone who's severely mentally ill, who 514 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: poses a threat to himself and others, should actually be 515 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: interacting with the state and getting help before something terrible 516 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: like this can happen. It's not just New York, San Francisco, LA. 517 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,959 Speaker 1: People listening to us on the coast know exactly what 518 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: you're talking about.

We want to set another all time record 541 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: in January, allowing truth, justice, and maybe most importantly, sanity 542 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: to continue to prevail in an insane world for all 543 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: of you out there. And speaking of insanity, you were 544 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: just talking about the importance of who you vote for 545 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: for governor, and a lot of people out there now, like, hey, 546 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: who I vote for for school board matters in a 547 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: way that I never would have thought about before. In 548 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: the midst of this COVID monstrosity that will never end. 549 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: This happened in Australia where Novak Djokovic lost his appeal 550 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: and was forced to leave the country because he is unvaccinated. 551 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: Buck and I really believe this. We've talked about it 552 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: a little bit on the show. But if you look 553 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: at what happened in Canada and you look at what 554 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: has happened in Australia, the United States, Canada, and Australia 555 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: are not that different of countries in the grand scheme 556 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: of things, and that they overlap to a certain degree 557 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: in many different areas. The freedom that governors like DeSantis 558 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: and Greg Abbott and Bill Lee in Tennessee and Kemp 559 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: down in Georgia, red state governors refusing to be howed 560 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: by all of the fear, is why the United States 561 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: is not like Canada and Australia. Because you've got some 562 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 1: data we're gonna hit people with as we moved throughout 563 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: this show, the amount of restrictions, And I'm going to 564 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: talk about what Salt Lake City, the Tribune editorial out there. 565 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: We got a lot of listeners in Salt Lake City. 566 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: What would be done to people who are unvaccinated if 567 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: Democrats had power in this country and were unchecked in 568 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 1: that power is staggering to think about, because you may 569 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: be in New York City, and you may be in 570 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: La listening to us right now, and you may be like, 571 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: it's been hellish the past couple of years to live 572 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: in the two biggest cities in America. A lot of 573 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: people listen in Chicago to this show as well. But 574 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: my goodness, when I see things like Novak Yokovic being 575 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: forced to leave the country because he is unvaccinated, even 576 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: though I believe he's had COVID twice like I have Buck, 577 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's crazy level left wing authoritarianism that is 578 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: being embraced. And as you've pointed out, a country of 579 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: Australia that we tend to think of is pretty laid 580 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: back and chill. Yeah, British people with kangaroos and better weather, 581 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: not so much. It's much more like much more like 582 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: East Germany with koalas. This is not what we want 583 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: to see. It's I mean distressing. And for Djokovic though, 584 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: to be in this position is remarks you point out 585 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 1: the guy's had COVID twice. I want to note we're 586 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: heading for this now. I kind of want to go 587 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: on the record, you know, because this is so obvious. 588 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna roll out and omicron specific vaccine. It seems 589 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: in about March, and at that point, how many people 590 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: will have had omicron in America? Fifty six seventy percent 591 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, how many people will have been exposed. Maybe 592 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: they had no symptoms but been exposed, and it's clear 593 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: that they aren't really at risk anymore. So they're gonna 594 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: make us get the shot after the pandemic has effectively 595 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: already run its course for omicron specifically. And then what 596 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: they've done is just at the stage for oh this summer. 597 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: Guess what, everybody, There's gonna be another There's gonna be 598 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: another variant, and you're gonna get another shot. We can 599 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: all see where this is going. But what I want 600 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: to ask them is, how could anyone justify if you've 601 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: got an omicron? I mean, as you just had just 602 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: had it last week. You just had it last week. 603 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: Someone forcing you to get a shot for omicron that 604 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: you've already had is being a lunatic oka. Yes, you 605 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: were at very low risk to begin with. You now 606 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: have antibody specific to it. They're gonna make you get 607 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: a shot for this. This is crazy. I'm now two 608 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: and oh against COVID that we know of. I might 609 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 1: have had the delta version of COVID two who knows, 610 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: and not even gotten sick enough to even recognize it. 611 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: For people who missed last week I got omicron, was 612 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: not very sick one day, low level fever for about 613 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: half a day, and I had a very light cold 614 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: and that was it. And I went and got tested 615 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: because some people say, why in the world did you 616 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: get tested? Because I wanted to know whether or not 617 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: I had COVID. And by the way, you don't get 618 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: tested specifically for omicron, but based on the data reflecting 619 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: that around ninety eight percent of all cases that they 620 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: are testing for omicron specifically are omicron, and on the 621 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 1: fact that I already had COVID before, I feel quite 622 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: confident that I got the omicron version of delta based 623 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: on my symptoms and everything else. But yes, you don't 624 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: get tested specifically for the strain or variant of COVID 625 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: that you get. But no issues, no issues to speak of. 626 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent back healthy, zero over the weekend. Nothing. 627 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 1: I stayed in my house for five days to try 628 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: to make sure that I was not out and about. 629 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: I felt like maybe I was infectious for a couple 630 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: of days where I didn't feel one hundred percent and 631 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: now everything is back to normalcy. There's no way, zero 632 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: percent chance buck that I am getting some vaccine for 633 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: Omicron when I just had it based on all the 634 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: evidence and the positive tests that I got. I mean, 635 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: one of the happiest days I think that I believe 636 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: is coming. And I would I mean, I think Faucci 637 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: will retire if a Republican wins, but he won't give 638 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: them this. But that guy needs to get fired so badly. 639 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say. That would be amazing. 640 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: It needs to happen. It won't happen. Well, there's a 641 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: Democrat in office because they've tied themselves to this vile 642 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: little bureaucrat. But you know, nonetheless we're seeing the policies 643 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: not make any sense. So Clay, next hour, we've got 644 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: a couple of big things. I know you want to 645 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: get into some of the media trying to create a 646 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: bit of a descantist Trump rift. Let's not fall for it, folks. 647 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: No GOP civil war allowed, thank you very much. But 648 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: also back for that. Yeah, and we've got the synagogue 649 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: hostage situation. It's over, but the synagogue hosta situation from 650 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: the weekend, the way the FBI reacted to it. We'll 651 00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: get into that next hour. You're listening to Clay Travis 652 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton on the EIB network.
