The iHeart app is my personal favorite place. 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: That is my favorite platform for the podcasts iHeartRadio or 14 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: i heeart app. Rather, So, we have a couple of 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: things to bring to your attention. First of all, we 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: have the Texas banning of mandates for COVID vaccination. We'll 17 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: get to that in a minute, but I first wanted 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: to say that Clay pointed out to me as we 19 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: were getting wrapped up here. You'll notice, Clay, the show 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: actually for us never stops because even when we have 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: even we have a few minutes of pause, we usually 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: continue the discussion or think of it, are going to 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: do a really intense discussion about the next topic. So 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: it never you know, we try to just you know, 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: have SIPs of coffee in between going on and on 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: about this stuff. But Clay put it out. The Southwest 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: CEO has said that he actually never wanted a COVID 28 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate. He's opposed to a COVID vaccine mandate, and 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: the Bide administration has forced his hand. Now, this is 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,279 Speaker 1: what we've been saying was going to happen for months. 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: That people who thought because I would get the emails McLay, 32 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: I would have people who would write me, you know, 33 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: stinks for you in as a New Yorker, or you know, 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: if I lived in California, you're in it Clays in 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: Los Angeles right now. For remember, there are millions of Republicans. 36 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: I think it's easy to forget this if you know 37 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: you live in North Dakota, but if you know, just 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: because you're not around these folks, but there are millions 39 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: of Republicans in California and New York who don't want 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: to be dealing with this nonsense, don't want to be 41 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: put through the vaccine mandates and Clay, the reality that 42 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: we've seen is the federal government has stepped in. They've 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: stepped in against private businesses. Now we have a couple 44 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: of things happening. One the possibility here, and it does 45 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: seem like a mixed picture. Some people staying home based 46 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: on the calls we've just got. You all heard them. 47 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: We had Southwest Airlines pilots calling in saying that, yeah, 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: some people are staying back, some people don't want to 49 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: go in. They oppose the mandates. But there's also some 50 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: Southwest logistics stuff. But then Clay, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, 51 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: this is what I want to get your take on, 52 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: the governor of Texas. According to New York Times, here 53 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: issued a broad executive order yesterday that bars virtually any 54 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate in the state. Abbott has been among the 55 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: most vocal political leaders in the US opposing vaccine mandates. 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: No entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: nineteen vaccine by any individual, including an employee or a consumer, 58 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: who objects to such vacation for any reason of personal conscience, 59 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons. Including 60 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: prior recovery aka natural immunity from COVID nineteen Clay, this 61 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: is what we were talking, This is what I was 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: asking a different governor to do back in August. If 63 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: we all recall Texas stepping into the breach, bravo, Greg Abbott. 64 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm proud of my fellow Vanderbilt Law School graduate. Or yeah, yeah, 65 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: there's a good advertisement for Vanderbilt Law School, a fantastic place, 66 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: by the way, for using the power that he has 67 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: under federalism to protect the people of Texas from what 68 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: I believe and I think you believe are unconstitutional vaccine mandates. 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: Another connection here, Buck, do you know where Southwest Airlines 70 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: is based Texas? So the fact that Dallas, which I 71 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: believe is where Southwest Airlines began in fact for a 72 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: long time, and I still think there's stock symbol is 73 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: LUV because they started flying at Dallas love Field. That's 74 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: where Southwest Airlines was founded. I wonder on some level 75 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: whether the CEO of Southwest Airlines felt emboldened to make 76 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: it look Buck, there haven't been that many CEOs who 77 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: have come out and said, hey, I'm not in favor 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: of the COVID vaccine mandate. And I think the reason 79 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: why Southwest CEO came out and made these comments is 80 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: because there are a multitude of factors that led to 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: a Southwest issue with their flights. But I think there 82 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: is a substantial portion of Southwest pilots in particular who 83 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: are posing this, and I think this is the CEO 84 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: trying to acknowledge their disapproval and shift the blame from 85 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: the company to the Biden administration. But buck the interplay 86 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: here is fascinating to me legally because many Southwest employees 87 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: are based in Texas. So what is going to govern 88 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: here in a court of law, the governor's protection of 89 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: your right not to be subject to a COVID vaccine 90 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: mandate or the federal government's attempt to mandate a COVID 91 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate. And this is this is a part of it, 92 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 1: and I think everyone needs to understand this, even if, 93 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: let's say because because there's arguments to be right now, 94 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: for example, we could even play it. You know, Congressman 95 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw obviously a great guy, former Seal Texas congressman. 96 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: You know he's on he takes that position that some 97 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: on the right do of Oh, but this is the 98 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: government doing more than the government should do. I actually, 99 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's a constitutional matter. I think that's actually 100 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: not true. The states have very widely way and there 101 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: are a ton of different ways that the state already 102 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: regulates businesses for health and safety and other reasons all 103 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: over every state, all across the country. So it's just 104 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: another regulation that you may you may not oppose. But 105 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: that's not the same thing as acting like this is 106 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: breaking new ground with government regulation by a state. That's 107 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: one part, But the other part of it is the 108 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: timeline here Clay matters. The Biden administration is gearing up 109 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: to how the OSHA regulation come out. I think the 110 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: Biden administration is also getting ready to have at using 111 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 1: the interstate Commerce clause, but using their powers to demand 112 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: vaccine passports for all domestic flights this winter. I think 113 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: I'd say it's fifty fifty right now, but I think 114 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: that could happen. State's taking action today and forcing into 115 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: the courts will at least prevent some level of mandate 116 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: from going into effect. Because once you get the shot, 117 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: you've had to get the shot, and you've been somebody 118 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: put through the mandate, and your freedom, your individual choice 119 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: has suffered the conspiracy theorist in me. Buck. The OSHA 120 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: regulations have not come out yet, right the Biden has 121 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: announced a COVID vaccine mandate, but he's requiring OSHA to 122 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: draft those regulations, which will then be applied. But many 123 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: companies already accepted the man date even in the absence 124 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: of the OSHA requirements. This, to me, the conspiracy theorist 125 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: in me, makes me think that the Biden administration is 126 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: aware that what they're attempting to do is unconstitutional and 127 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: it ties in buck with you know how they're letting 128 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: everybody you know all over the border, and we talk 129 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: about that on a regular basis. Sure many of those 130 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: people have COVID. Do you know what they're not doing 131 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: mandating COVID vaccines for illegals coming into our country. Why 132 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: are they not doing that? Because I think they know 133 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: that it would be struck down, and so what they're 134 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: trying to do is the same thing they tried to 135 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: do with the eviction moratorium. They are going to try 136 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: to implement this policy and hope that so many people 137 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: follow it that by the time it actually gets struck down, 138 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: many people, even though it's unconstitutional, have already submitted to 139 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the authority that they have put in place. I think 140 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: that's absolutely correct, and that that's what I mean. I mean, 141 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: that is a legal analysis of what I mean by timeline. 142 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: I know you know that. But for everybody listening the timing. 143 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: That's why back in August there, you know, we had 144 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: a little interview here, we had a discussion. Yeah, let's 145 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: just let's just point this out because you were right, 146 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: you had we had CHRISTI noem on and some people 147 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: got upset. And your argument, which is a really strong one, 148 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: is we need governors to do what Greg Abbott did 149 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: in Texas, what Ron de Santis has done in Florida, 150 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: what many different Republican governors have done, which is prohibit 151 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: the vaccine mandate from being law in their states, so 152 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: companies are not able to force people and we can 153 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: determine the constitutionality of these demands because they're coming every 154 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: The federal government was gearing up for overreach that was 155 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: going to affect red states. I knew it, we saw it, 156 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: we said it, and that was we were look, I mean, 157 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: that was right, that position was correct. The federal government 158 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: did do what we were worried were going to do, 159 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: and then Red states were affected, and now at least 160 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: Texas is responding to this, in my view, wholly appropriately 161 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: and in a way that should set the stage for 162 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: other But I knew I was already in contact with 163 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: people from Ronda Santis's office who were saying they were 164 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: trying to see if the legislative session they could bring 165 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: it back. If it was an executive they knew what 166 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: was coming, and we're going to take action this whole. 167 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: Let the free market decide, Oh, we don't want to 168 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: be big government here. Big government is when the federal 169 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: government comes into your state and says you have to 170 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: get the shot because we say so. And a governor's role, 171 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: unless that governor is a little too fond of corporate 172 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: donors and donations, is to step up and say we 173 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,359 Speaker 1: will protect the autonomy and the freedom of an individual 174 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: using the plenary powers of the state. This is not 175 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: a federal role. We will see you in court. That's 176 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: what should have happened, and that's what I am fascinated. 177 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: This is sort of like a great law school hypothetical. 178 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: They come up with untested law and say, okay, like 179 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: anybody out there, whoever wonder, Hey, what's it like in 180 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: law school. When you take an exam, or even take 181 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: the bar exam, they very often come up buck with 182 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: hypotheticals that don't have an easy answer and you have 183 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: to argue either side. So here we have a direct 184 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: conflict between a state exercising its power under federalism to 185 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: try him and I think what you're saying. I want 186 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: people to understand what you're saying, because I think it's 187 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: really important. There's a difference between saying, hey, we're not 188 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: going to allow the federal government to come in and 189 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: mandate something, and that is the essence of big government, 190 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: and there's a big difference between saying we're not going 191 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: to allow that. Right, like, you can still make your 192 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: own decision about the vaccine, but you have to stand 193 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: up for your individual state residence rights and also your 194 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: state corporations to make their own choices. Right. And so 195 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: this battle between who governs the state or the federal 196 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: government as it pertains to COVID vaccine mandates is unsettled. 197 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: Wall to be clear, the Texas Order, the executive order 198 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: in Texas says no, no, you can't do this. If 199 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: you're doing business in the state of Texas right now, 200 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: you cannot mandate that your employees or customers get the vaccine. 201 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: That's what I really wanted. That's a big deal. That's 202 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: where the conflict. Ultimately, the courts are going to decide 203 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: how this interplay works. And for people out there who 204 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:34,479 Speaker 1: are fascinated by federalism or who are intrigued about balancing 205 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: power between the state and the federal government, this is 206 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: why our framers created federalism to allow state laboratories to 207 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: exist in issues such as these. And as this unfolds, though, 208 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: there's also the reality of what does all this look 209 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: like going into the winter. What do we really think 210 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: of vaccine mandates if in fact we see not only 211 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: is there a surge in the vaccinated getting COVID, but 212 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: a surge in the vaccinated, god forbid, getting hospitalized and 213 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: even dying this winter, and the government's still going to 214 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: be taking this tyretical approach. So as with more time, 215 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: we also will have more information and data about how 216 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: reasonable or unreasonable in my perspective, in your perspective, these 217 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: kinds of mandates really are. So that's why action now 218 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: matters to defend people. What do you think about the 219 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: Texas decision? Some of you might disagree that. That's fine. 220 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: We're open to hearing about it. But I'm sure some 221 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: of you live in Texas are like, whoa Texas landing 222 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: free eight hundred two two two eight eight two on 223 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: those lines. Let's come back, we'll talk about it. Plus, 224 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: we got the Kamala video, Claire, you haven't got I 225 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: haven't seen yet. I've been so busy traveling and running around. 226 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: Can't wait. She is, I don't. I don't think. I don't. 227 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what the Democrats are gonna do. That's 228 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: the discussion we got to have because I don't think 229 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: they can have her step in for Biden. But totally 230 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: switching gears here for second folks. The Tunnels of Towers 231 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: Foundation believes in doing good each at every day, all 232 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: across the country.

We hope to 257 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: do the same again in October. We've been talking about 258 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: the controversy state versus federal government COVID vaccine mandates and 259 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: how exactly companies are going to respond, particularly through the 260 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: prism of Southwest Airlines and the way that their pilots 261 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: are responding to the COVID vaccine mandate. There have not 262 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: been very many CEOs who come out publicly and said 263 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: I don't support this mandate. Southwest Airlines, which is based 264 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: in the state of Texas, their CEO was on CNBC 265 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: discussing some of the issues that they have had with 266 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: canceled flights, and this is what he said about the 267 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate put in place by the Biden administration. I 268 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: think you probably know I've never been in favor of 269 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: corporations imposing that kind of a mandate. I'm not in 270 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: favor of that, never have been. But the executive order 271 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: from President Biden mandates at all federal employees and then 272 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: all federal contractors, which covers all the major airlines, have 273 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: to have a mandate vaccine in place by December of 274 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: the eighth. So we're working through that. We're urging all 275 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: of our employees to get vaccinated. Yes, we have some 276 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: very strong views on that topic. But that's not what 277 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: was an issue with Southwest over the weekend. So we 278 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: know that there's some multiple factors going on here. Right 279 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: We've had people coming in, people staying home. Sure, people 280 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: certainly oppose the mandate from the Southwest Clay, but for 281 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: a CEO of this stature and obviously with his company 282 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: in the midst of the news cycle right now, really 283 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: at the top of the news cycle to come out 284 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: and say he's opposed to mandate, I think people have forgotten. 285 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: A lot of folks have forgotten that many of these things, 286 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: whether it's OSHA or the federal airline mandate that's you 287 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: know that's affected by federal airlines that are affect I'm sorry, 288 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: airlines affected by the federal mandate, that all of this 289 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: is still on a timeline, is still being is still 290 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: unfolding before us, and it's not too late to push back. 291 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: I think this is a part of it. We've just 292 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: sort of had a lot of people go, oh, okay, 293 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: the mandates in place in New York, it was very effective, right. 294 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: They basically either fired you or you got the shot. 295 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: That may not be how it plays out in places 296 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: across the country. Yeah. And the other thing there, if 297 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: you heard him, is I wonder how lenient for religious 298 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: exemptions or health exemptions a company like Southwest could be. 299 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: And let me give you an example. Buck, in Williamson County, Tennessee, 300 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: where I live, just south of Nashville, every single parent 301 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: that opposes the mask mandate can fill out a one 302 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: page form either check a religious exemption or a health exemption, 303 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: and they're all granted without being examined at all. So 304 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: my kids don't have to wear a mask because we 305 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: got an exemption. There are lots of other school districts 306 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: doing the same. Could Southwest Airlines also implement an incredibly 307 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: lenient vaccine excuse form basically for pilots that are opposed 308 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: to that mandate citing religious or health reasons, if you 309 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: don't require it to be an onerous process. And again, 310 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: this is an idea for a lot of people out 311 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: there listening, who may be CEOs, who may be HR 312 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: executives that are opposed like you and I are bucked, 313 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: not to vaccines, but to the concept of mandating employees 314 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: getting vaccines. Can you legally set your company up to 315 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: give and grant very leniently religious and healthy exemptions without 316 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: the government examining. If you make it big enough, you 317 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: essentially create a loop in the mandate, and that would 318 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: then at least relieve the pressure on a lot of 319 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: people who feel very opposed to it. There is still 320 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: the principle to fight out here of a mandate that 321 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: should never have been in the first place. But I 322 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: agree with you in the short term, that's certainly a 323 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: way to handle this. And I also think you'll notice 324 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: this the same way they didn't want to control group 325 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: for schools and mask mandates in Florida. They fought like 326 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: mad against it. Yes, right now you have two things 327 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: happening simultaneously, the rise in the ferocity of demands for 328 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates from the apparatus and the Democrats, with also 329 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: the rise in information about how the vaccines don't last 330 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: very long, folks. They go down, down and down over 331 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: a period of six months or so. That's not going 332 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: to look good this wintertime.

To the point about momentum, just if 370 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: anyone we're out there doing a quick Google search like 371 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: I did, of the latest headlines we got Politico, are 372 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: we blowing this? Mccauliffe and friends plead for online cash 373 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: The Washington Post. Why Glen Younkin has the momentum in Virginia. CNN, 374 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: I love this one. CNN sounds the alarm on Terry 375 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: mcculloff's campaign blunders. Gosh, what have you been doing? Glenn Well? Well, 376 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: we've just been We've been running a campaign focused on Virginia. 377 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not a politician. I've never run for office before, 378 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: and I think the job of the governor is to 379 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: go work for Virginians, and my opponent has been focused 380 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: on all other aspects. I mean, he is trying to 381 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: make this a national race. This is about Virginia, Virginia's future, 382 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: and what Virginians absolutely need is a governor who will 383 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: bring our cost to living down by cutting taxes, by 384 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: making sure we have the best jobs, the best schools, 385 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: and the safest communities. And it's that simple, and that's 386 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: why Virginians are coming together like never before. It's no 387 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: longer Republicans against Democrats. This is Republicans, independence and a 388 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: lot of Democrats standing up and say no to this progressive, 389 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: left wing agenda that's tried to move Virginia to California East, 390 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: and Virginians are just saying no, not here. One of 391 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: the potential future governor, young Ken, I appreciate you coming 392 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: on with us. One of the I would say viral 393 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: moments that has captured not only in Virginia but much 394 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: of the nation has been the debate over how involved 395 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: parents should be in what their kids are taught in schools. 396 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: Terry mccaulliffe said that parents shouldn't be involved. Were you 397 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: surprised that he said that? How wrong is he? How 398 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: do you believe that parents should be involved in their 399 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: kids educations? Well, first, Terry mccaulluff showed everybody his heart 400 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: that he thinks government and politicians and bureaucrats should stand 401 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: between children and their parents. And I just know so differently, 402 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: But also Virginia does I mean, we have a law 403 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: in Virginia the Gibbs parents a fundamental right to be 404 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: involved in their kids education. I mean, it is on 405 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: the books. And here we have Terry mccaulliffe saying no, 406 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: it don't want parents involved in our kids education because 407 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: he wants he wants the education unions to dominate everything. 408 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: They've been funding his campaign, They tell him what to do. 409 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: And what's worse is when he saw parents standing up 410 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: for their kids' rights and school boards, he called his 411 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: friend Joe Biden and had Joe Biden send the FBI 412 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: in to try to silence parents and keep us from 413 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: using our constitutional First Amendment right to say what we believe. 414 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what Terry mccauliffe is all about 415 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: big government controls, silencing parents and worse, trying to separate 416 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: the fundamental right that parents have to be involved in 417 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: their kids education and give it to government. We're speaking 418 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: to candidate for governor in Virginia, Glenn Yungkin. Glenn, you're 419 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: in a tight race here and Virginia is getting a 420 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: lot of attention these days, and we've been discussing over 421 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: the notion of parents showing up at meetings critical race 422 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: theory instruction, and Loudon County has been on the very 423 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: forefront of this battle. Let really has become a national 424 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: movement of parents becoming more involved in their teach years education. 425 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: How did this happen in Loudon County And what would 426 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: you want to see in Virginia and elsewhere across the 427 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: country to address the concerns of parents out there when 428 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: it comes to leftist indoctrination of their kids. Yeah, well 429 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: this started in Loudon County because all of a sudden, 430 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: for twenty months, parents got a chance to see what 431 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: was happening in the classroom. Because Virginia schools, and particularly 432 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: Northern Virginia schools in Fairfax County and Loudon County kept 433 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: the schools closed for an absolutely unnecessary period of time. 434 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: And that's when it started because parents got to see 435 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: what was happening in their kids education. And so the 436 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: first step of this where parents standing up saying open 437 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: our schools. Goodness gracious, and so first of all, as governor, 438 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure our schools are never closed again 439 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: to five days a week in classroom, in person education. 440 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: But the second thing that of course happened was parents 441 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: now saw what was going on and couldn't believe that 442 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: our ChIL dren we're being taught what to think as 443 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: opposed to how to think and critical race theory is 444 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: one a political agenda, that's what it is. It's not 445 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: an academic curriculum. And it teaches our children to view 446 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: everything through a lens of race, and then it divides 447 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: them into buckets and then tells one group they're not 448 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: going to achieve their dreams because their privileged, and another 449 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: group they're not going to achieve their dreams because they're victims. 450 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: And it just steals dreams. And we're talking to Virginia 451 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: governatorial candidate Glynn Yunkin. I'm fascinated by this governor potentially Younkin. 452 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: I keep saying that because I'm rooting for you so 453 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: significantly to win, because I think it's an important message 454 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: that you would send. But Joe Biden won the state 455 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: of Virginia by ten points. Your opponent, Terry mccauliffe came 456 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: out and said, there's no doubt that Joe Biden is 457 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: underwater in terms of popularity in the state of Virginia. 458 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: I understand your point that this is a Virginia based election, 459 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: not a national referendum. But for all of our listeners nationwide, 460 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: many of whom don't live in Virginia, what is the 461 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: importance not only for Virginia, but in terms of the 462 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: larger message that is being sent if you are elected 463 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: the governor of Virginia. In your mind, well, two big messages. 464 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: The one is parents around America are absolutely looking to 465 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,239 Speaker 1: parents into Virginia to stand up for him. And here 466 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: we have a chance to come to the polls as parents, 467 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: as aunts, as uncles, as grandparents to stand up for 468 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: our kids because parents are all over America has seen 469 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: the exact same thing at their school board meetings in 470 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: their schools, and they need someone to stand up and 471 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: say no, there is absolutely a better way. But the 472 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: second thing that of course is happening is this is 473 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: a moment for Virginians to show that a state that 474 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: has been pretty darn blue for the last ten years 475 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: has come together around the most important, most important agenda, 476 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: which is great jobs, great schools, low crime, and low taxes. 477 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: And in fact, in face of what we're seeing how 478 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: to Washington, which is just a failed presidency, and what 479 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: we're seeing coming out of our capital, Richmond, which is 480 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: single party rule that has dragged Virginia to become California East. 481 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: As I said earlier, Americans are watching us stand up 482 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: as Virginians and chart a new path forward. And this 483 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: is why this election is so important, because this is 484 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: the first step, first step of showing that there is 485 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: such a better way and that Republicans can come together 486 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: with independence and yes, with a lot of Democrats and 487 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: elect a new kind of candidate and somebody I've never 488 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: been in politics politics before. My opponent has been doing 489 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: it for forty three years. I've been doing it forty 490 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: three weeks. And we have a chance to make a 491 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: huge statement across this entire country of a better way forward. 492 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: Candidate for governor in Virginia, Glenn Young, Ken, Glenn Clay 493 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: and I are rooting for you.

Monstrous. This was one of those state level 510 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: races where it will be considered a harbinger of what's 511 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: to come in the mid terms. It'll be considered the 512 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: turning of the tide against the Biden administration, Blue Democrat 513 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: overreach and all the things that we've seen, and also 514 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: just the fact that he's such a close associate of 515 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 1: the Clintons. I mean, this mccaulloff is a DNC polite 516 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: to go, super insider type. Is he said, he's been 517 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: in politics over forty years, junkin as a political as 518 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: a new guy to politics comes out and take takes 519 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: him down, it would be fantastic. And Virginia is such 520 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: a great state man they deserve better than what they 521 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: That Virginia state level leadership is just awful. I mean, 522 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: we're not even we haven't even talked about Governor Ralph 523 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: Northam and all that stuff there. I mean, it's a mess, 524 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: and the Lieutenant governor and the age, all of whom 525 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: are Democrats, and all of whom had major scandals and 526 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: that's why they all got to stay in office. This 527 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: would be a monumentally massive statement in off year election 528 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: as we got ready for twenty twenty two buck which 529 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: I may tell y'alls, this guy, that guy, if he 530 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: becomes governor. I don't want to get out of myself. 531 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: He gotta win the governor's race first. Clay, and I 532 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: think he's got he's got a future. Let's just put 533 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 1: it that way. The guy's got he was good with us. 534 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna see our family's dog in the Sexton household 535 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: is not young. She's spunky still, but Toluca to Lula 536 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: as a frenchie. She's twelve years old. Though, until I 537 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 1: was introduced to Rough Greens, the supplement that we now 538 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: feed to Lula, I didn't give that much thought to 539 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: how important it is to a dog's health to get 540 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: them a live nutrition that we as humans know that 541 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: we need.

Appreciate all of 560 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: you hanging out with us. We are rolling through the 561 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of the program. Just talked with Virginia governatorial 562 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: Candida Glenn Junkin and how significant that would be. Biden 563 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: one Virginia by ten points. If Young Ken could pull 564 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: off what would be a monumental upset there, and he's 565 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: close to doing it right now. It would send shockwaves 566 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: through the democratic establishment as we get ready for twenty 567 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty two and be a very ominous sign as to 568 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: what is coming in twenty twenty two. What I believe 569 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: will be a red tidal wave all over this country, Buck, 570 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: and that's why people are getting nervous because if you 571 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: can flip a state that Biden one comfortably in twenty twenty, 572 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: like Virginia, how many other states would potentially be in play. 573 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: That has got to have Democrats terrified. I am very 574 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: encouraged and enthusiastic, but obviously very cautiously optimistic at the 575 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: same time about what things start to look like politically 576 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: in this country when you have two realities that we 577 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: did not in the twenty twenty election under way. One 578 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: it is not the early stages of a pandemic that 579 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: had completely freaked out most of the country. And two, 580 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: when you are in a position where people have actually 581 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: seen what it means for Democrats to be in charge 582 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: for a while, it means things like seven year high 583 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: in gas prices clay which just came out today as well. 584 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: People tend to not like this stuff. They don't like 585 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: ineptitude in governance. I just think it's a significant mile 586 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: post and marker because if Virginia flips to a Republican one, 587 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: CRT is going to be a massive story regardless in 588 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. But there are a lot of states 589 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: that were way closer than ten points. This is I mean, 590 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: this is where thirty eight percent approval ratings potentially go 591 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: to die for the Democratic Party. I think we got 592 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: some calls. It's to say Clay. For many months now, 593 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: stretching back at the beginning of this year, I've been saying, 594 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: or the beginning of the CRT pushback, it's the this 595 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: is it's the tea party, but over kids in schools 596 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: and indoctrination instead of the debt. That's really what I 597 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: see here. And they're not going to call at the 598 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: tea party. But that's the grassroots conservative movement is awakening 599 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: right now. That's what's happening. Uh, Babes, Is that right, Babes? 600 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: I hope I'm allowed to say it. Babes in Lubbock, Texas, Hello, Hi, 601 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: how are you? Thank you so much for taking my call. 602 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: Thank you. Um, I just wanted to say, as a 603 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: flighter in it, first off, my slinges that there are 604 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: hundreds of other flight attendants and hundreds of other employees 605 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: across the company that are standing behind our pilots and 606 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: we are standing up against getting the vaccination for all 607 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: kinds of different reasons. And you know, it's important that 608 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: we don't push back right now that we may never 609 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: be able to push back. Amen, I'm fine, Thank you 610 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: for calling in. Why do you think Southwest among all 611 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 1: of the airlines. What is it about the Southwest culture 612 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: that is making the fight here more prevalent for Southwest 613 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: than it might be for other airlines. Obviously, we are 614 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: a domestic airline and we were started in Texas, and 615 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: I think that we do have so many pilots that 616 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: they are the voice for being able to stand up 617 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: for this that have started in Dallas. And so this 618 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: is a tech, just freedom based airline in many ways 619 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: that may be different than other airlines. I mean, I'm 620 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: just kind of fascinated by communist communist company has a culture, Buck, 621 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: and the Southwest Airlines culture I think serves Red State 622 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: America a lot more maybe than some other airlines. And 623 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: I just I support the pilots and I support the 624 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: flight attendants and the CEO. I think we should mention again, 625 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: Gary Kelly, one of the first CEO's Buck, I can 626 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: remember of a multi billion dollar company to come out 627 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: and say we're opposed to vaccine mandates. Babes, thank you 628 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: so much for calling in. And sharing your perspective on this. 629 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Dean in Orange County, Texas. What's up, Dean, Oh, 630 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. I wanted to pick 631 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: your brain, your legal mind, your intelligence guided by experience 632 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: here and ask you with the conflict that's coming between 633 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: individual rights and these mandates. And in this case it'll 634 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: play out with Governor Abbott's executive and Biden using OSHA. 635 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: We have companies like you just heard from Southwest Airlines, 636 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: which I think the federal government's going to try to 637 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: trump that with the interstate commerce laws to try to 638 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: get around the governor's executive order. Companies like AT and 639 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: T which are Texas based, but they're going to use OSHA, 640 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: or they're already trying to use OSHA to mandate these vaccines. 641 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: And even the idea of federal government employees, for instance, 642 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: border agents or somebody working at a federal prison, a 643 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: Texas resident working in a Texas facility, but a federal prison, 644 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: or any federal employee. That's just an example how this 645 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: is going. How do you guys see this playing out? 646 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: And is there any difference between how it will play 647 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: out legally here versus say Montana Gee, I'm going to 648 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: jump in here and a great question, a great fan. Yeah, absolutely, 649 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: fantastic questions. You might be able to hear it too. 650 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: The music background means that, as much as I have 651 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: tremendous faith in Clay's abilities, I don't think he could 652 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 1: explain all of it in twenty seconds. So we're gonna 653 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: take this at the top of the next hour. We're 654 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna extend it into the discussion about Texas vaccine mandates 655 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: and swell like what I did there as Nancy Pelosi 656 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: telling everybody they're gonna try to track six hundred dollars 657 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: plus transactions of any financial interaction whatsoever as part of 658 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: the big bill that's coming through. Sounds like tyranny to me. 659 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: Folks will get into it next hour you're listening to 660 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: Clay Travis, said Buck Sexton on the EIB Network.
