So, the 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Summer Olympics, one year delayed, are currently going on in Tokyo, 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: and we have never seen in most of our lives 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: fewer people watching the Olympics than are watching so far 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: this year. I'll be honest with you, I think a 20 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: big part of that is the twelve or thirteen hour 21 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: time difference from the East coast in the United States. 22 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: I think also not having fans present kills a lot 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: of the vibe. Combine that with people having to wear 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: masks to stand on the stage and receive their medals, 25 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: even though they compete without masks on, and I think, 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: and I'm curious if you agree with me here, Buck, 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: there is just a general sense out there in the 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: American public that by becoming so intensely political across the 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: board kind of in the world of sports. And I 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: understand it's not all athletes, but it doesn't take very many, 31 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: and certainly some of the most prominent athletes out there. 32 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: The US women's soccer team, Megan Rapino and her crew, 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: and the US men's basketball team, both of which have 34 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: already lost. We talked about this on Friday. The US 35 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: women lost to Sweden. The United States men's basketball team 36 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: lost for the first time in forty four Olympic competitions 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: to France to begin their overall run. And I gotta 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: be honest with you, I feel like there are a 39 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: lot of red blooded, waving the flag Americans that either 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: don't care about the Olympics this year or are even 41 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: rooting against some of the woke athletes out there, even 42 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: though they're fellow Americans. Vive la France. I was seeing 43 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: over the weekend. Zero's the best basketball team in the Manifique. 44 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: This is what we see. So we had that going on, 45 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: the French beating the Americans, which, first of all, when 46 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: France beats us in anything that's not making fatty pastries, 47 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: there's a problem. All right, let's just be very or 48 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: stinky cheese. They are still the global leaders. They're pretty 49 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: good at wine. There are some good wines in other places. 50 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: But that's a fair point. That's a fair points. Might 51 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: have something to say right now, but yes, there's some 52 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: very good wines in general. Getting beaten by the French 53 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: in basketball pretty humiliating. We have a lot of really 54 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: good players on our team. But I think the reaction 55 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: was much like what we saw when the US women lost. 56 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: And look, I've been saying this, I want to play. 57 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: I've been saying you go woke, you get broke in 58 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: the world of athletics for a long time. That's the 59 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: natural reaction. And let me just explain this thesis for 60 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: people out there who may not have worked through it sports. 61 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: The idea is to appeal to every single person out there, 62 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: regardless of their race, their religion, their ethnicity, their sexuality. 63 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: That's what Michael Jordan represented. That's what Tiger Woods what represented. 64 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: And really it is the phrase Republicans by sneakers too, 65 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: which Jordan has admitted he said represented the desire to 66 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: appeal to everyone in becoming a global icon. And I 67 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: believe that Lebron James, Colin Kaepernick, Meghan Rapino, athletes of 68 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: that ilk have destroyed that universal appeal. And even Larry 69 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: Cudlow on CNBC has picked up on this. Let's listen 70 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: to Cudlow. Well, listen, it's all very orwelly, and I 71 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: agree with you. And you know what motto here is, 72 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: if you're gonna go woke, you're gonna go broke. This 73 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: is a left wing agenda. So he's right, and this 74 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: is this is true and people have known this for 75 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: a while, Clay. But here's a part of this that 76 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: I I'm a little surprised by. And that is why 77 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: we don't see there's a huge opportunity here for a team, 78 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, in a sport here in the Olympics, or 79 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: just an individual who has a breakthrough. Look if if 80 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: the top fencer on the US team I don't think 81 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: that would make a whole lot of difference. As much 82 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: as I love ping pong sober not sober ping Pong's great, 83 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: you know, as much as I love it, I don't 84 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: think it would make a big difference. But for an 85 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: athlete who had a breakthrough moment or an athlete of 86 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: considerable standing already to just really lean into the I 87 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: love America. I'm proud to be an American representing the Games, 88 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: and I don't want to make this political. In some way, 89 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: I feel like there's an opportunity there, and I haven't 90 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: seen anybody really sees on that, which I don't know 91 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: if that's just because they don't want them, you know, 92 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: they view that as being political and they don't want 93 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: to do that, or they're worried about the backlash. But 94 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, where's where's like the person who's taken the 95 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: Apollo Creed approach here of I'm gonna drape myself in 96 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: the flag and be like mister America in the sports arena. 97 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: It's a great question, and what I always say, people 98 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 1: are like, well, sports have always been political or what. Okay, 99 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: that's fine, but conservatives are not expecting for athletes to 100 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: ever advocate for what we might believe in. Right. I'll 101 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: give you an example. There's nobody out there who expects 102 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: after a winning touchdown that somebody's going to be like, hey, 103 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: we need way lower taxes, and you know what, like 104 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: the capitol gains tax rate proposals of Joe Biden, which 105 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: would nearly double it and make it retroactive. That's really stupid, 106 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, Like, we're not expecting, I think candidly, for 107 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: athletes in uniform at work to suddenly advocate for things 108 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: that we might believe in, right, And so really this 109 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: is not a two way street. There are typically conservative 110 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: sports fans and or just reasonable sports fans are not 111 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: arguing for the counterweight, although to your point, there may 112 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: be a marketplace for it. They're not arguing for the counterweight. 113 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: They're just arguing to let the sport and your excellence 114 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: in the sport speak for itself. Like I don't care, 115 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: and I imagine most people out there don't care. Don't 116 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: really care what you saying Bolt thinks about Jamaican politics. 117 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: I care whether or not he's the fastest runner in 118 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: the world. I don't care what Michael Phelps, who was 119 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: on the NBC stage right now thinks about abortion in America. 120 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: I just wanted him to be the best swimmer that 121 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: he could, And so I wonder whether the pushback in 122 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: the opposite direction that should come and will come is just, Hey, 123 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: I'm an athlete. I'm not that well versed in most 124 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: political issues, but I'm really damn good at shooting the 125 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: three points. But maybe this has gone the same way 126 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: that Hollywood has in a sense where the institution is 127 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: so one sided, is such a monoculture when it comes 128 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: to politics that I mean, we've known the Hollywood is 129 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: left wing for decades now. Now you could argue it's 130 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: become more left wing, but there has been no meaningful 131 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: pushback on it being Democrat and leftist dominated for as 132 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: long as I've been alive, quite honestly, I mean, it 133 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: maybe has gone crazier and crazier. So I'm not sure 134 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: that we'll see I mean, I would think that now, 135 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: and this is why I brought up somebody going to 136 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: the opposite direction, you'd see a real pushback. Even with 137 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: the ratings being what they are and some of the 138 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: downside of this, it doesn't it doesn't feel like the 139 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: backlash is powerful enough to make people who are political 140 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: in sports want to be less political in sports. And 141 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: then I mean I just saw this too. You know, 142 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: we had the women's handball team from was it Norway 143 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: that didn't want to wear the short shorts, a little 144 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: short shorts, and so they want to wear kind of 145 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: more like what we used to wear actually in rowing 146 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: when I wrote in college the you know, uh spandex 147 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: like a spandex, you know above the knee. The Germans 148 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: women's gymnastics team is in a fight against sexualization. Zy 149 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: don't like wearing Z tiny zip tiny bikini like senguins 150 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: there doing Z big flips and zip jumps and all. 151 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: They don't like it. So now they're doing the full 152 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: body suit. But it's funny to be because if they're 153 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: funny against sexualization, you look at these body suits and 154 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: you say, zakots squill. Well, I just think that's really 155 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: funny part of gymnastics. And look, I am far from 156 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: a gymnastics expert. My wife will probably if she happens 157 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: to be listening right now. She was fifth in the 158 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: state of Michigan, I think in gymnastics, and so she's 159 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: an expert in the in gymnastics field. Much more so 160 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: than me. But part of the need for the leotard 161 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: lineup is so you can see the you know, the 162 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: lines and the body and the angles. So even if 163 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: you're wearing like whatever you want to call it, a 164 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: batsuit or a cat suit, it's still showing the same body, right, 165 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: It's not like it's that much different in terms of 166 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: that versus a leotard. And oh, by the way, it's 167 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: hard to say that you're opposed to the sexualization of gymnastics. 168 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Anybody who goes to a swimming pool this summer, you 169 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: know the bathing suits, haven't have you noticed this? Buck? 170 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: You're a single South beach a lot visiting my two brothers, 171 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: and I am not prudish about these things. And I 172 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: will tell you there are a lot of folks down 173 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: there who are where you have to look hard to 174 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: find the bathing suits. That's right, That's what I'm saying, 175 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: Like the bathing suit has descended basically to the point, 176 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: like I remember, I'm old enough to remember when women 177 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: used to cover their butts in the bathing suit. Now 178 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't even attempt to cover the butt, Like that's 179 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: actually an attribute to the bathing suit. So I guess 180 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is it's hard to go against whatever 181 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: the social moray is. So when I see gymnastics outfits, 182 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't think, oh my god, those are skimpy. They 183 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: actually seem to me way more covering than the average 184 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: girl is wearing at the average So I actually don't believe. 185 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: I don't really believe that these these German women who 186 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: have been doing this their whole lives and this is 187 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: what they wear, I don't believe it. They suddenly are like, oh, 188 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: we feel sexualized. I think now there are people who 189 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: were in the Olympics. We need to make a statement. 190 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: That's what it. Women's equality or racial equality or social justice. 191 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: And so people feel this impulse. And so because one 192 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: team said we don't like the you know, the booty 193 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: shorts or whatever they call them, you know, we want 194 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: something else. I think that's the official term. I'm pretty 195 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: sure that's I'm not a handball expert, That's all I 196 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: think nobody is, which is why it's barely an old sport. 197 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: But anyway that I think that's what's going on there. 198 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: We could take some calls on this. Eight hundred two 199 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: eight two two eight Watching less is kind of the 200 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: question because the data reflects that people are watching way less. 201 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: But it used to be a big unifying thing, don't 202 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: you think, buck, Like the Olympics were a time when 203 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: Americans came together. I don't get that sense today, absolutely 204 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: because it has I think the politics of it is 205 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: a big part of it, but but also that the 206 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: time difference and a lot of these I think they've 207 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: expanded the events to a point as well where there's 208 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: so many events and people are just like, what, that's 209 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: even an Olympic sport now? I mean, it feels like 210 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: nap time is about to become an Olympic sport at anymore. 211 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: I'd be damn good at that, but I'd be amazing. 212 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: I'd get it done. I will come back in a 213 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: sec here. But in the meantime, we've got some folks 214 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: writing in to tell us about Relief Actor, and it's 215 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: exactly what we expected, huge benefits. This is Leah in Ohio. 216 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: One Sunday, I sat on my couch in so much 217 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: pain I was in tears. Oh goshly, I'm sorry. That's 218 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: the day I ordered Relief Factor. Following directions. In eight days, 219 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: I found relief only to get better and better. I 220 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: took four packs a day for the first three weeks, 221 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: and with my first full month supply, I am only 222 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: taking two packs daily. I'm truly amazed at this product. 223 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: A one hundred percent believer. Look, I know for sure 224 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: relief Factor is helping my parents, my mom and my 225 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: dad who are taking it right now, and Clay Relief 226 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: Factors even helping out the Travis family. I just talked 227 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: about the fact that my wife was a gymnast in 228 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: the state of Michigan, did really well fifth in the 229 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: state of Michigan's my understanding in her senior year. And 230 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: she's continued to be a great athlete even as she 231 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: has entered into her forties and had three kids. But 232 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: sometimes you get a little bit tired and a little 233 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: bit of aches and pains. How about finding a way 234 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: to address that. She is doing it with Relief Factor. 235 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: She gets more out of her workouts now that they're 236 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: helping alleviate post workout paying for and she's not alone. 237 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief Factor, and 238 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: about seventy percent of them go on to order more. 239 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: You can join this crew over half a million people 240 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: and order the three week quickstart for only nineteen ninety five. 241 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: Go to relief Factor dot com or call eight hundred 242 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: four Relief.

These days, 252 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: it's feeling increasingly clear that there's not a whole lot 253 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: of interest in this um compared to what there usually is. 254 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: So let's get to these calls. Mike in Maryland, what's 255 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: going on? Mike? Hey, how you doing good? How are 256 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: you good? Good? And how you listen to the showing? 257 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: And uh, for the first time and probably that I 258 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: can ever remember, I've not watched one moment of the Olympics. 259 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: Why why is that? Yeah? Why why are you making 260 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: that choice? It's due to the wellness of the athletes 261 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: and and just lost all interest and just watching it. 262 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: And I kind of sadly felt joy when the women 263 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: lost and the and the men lost to France and basketball. 264 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: I was psyched when Sweden beat the US women's soccer 265 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: team because I'm sorry, I think I think that that's 266 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: just that's karma. I think that's justice. I was happy 267 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: to see the women's national team. They're gonna, You're gonna 268 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: kneel you lose to Sweden, and those Swedish ladies are 269 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: not hard to root for. I'm just gonna say it, 270 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: They're not hard to root for. I agree, Yeah, thanks 271 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: for the calling. I hate I hate that feeling, Buck 272 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: because I was in the crowd in two thy fifteen 273 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,359 Speaker 1: when the US women won the World Cup in Vancouver, 274 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: and I felt like it was a national shared moment 275 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: of enjoyment for all Americans and it's helped. That's when 276 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: really the US women took off as these national icons. 277 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: And I feel like they have squandered so much of 278 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: the goodwill that they had based on their excellence by 279 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: frankly letting the Megan Repino, you know, version of the team, 280 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: and by the Megan Repino version of the team. I 281 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: think I go to your point, Buck, there are women 282 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: on that team that don't agree with Megan Rapino's left 283 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: wing politics, but the overall when she refused, for instance, 284 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, to go visit the White House and 285 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: said f you to the president like that is something 286 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: that I think everybody thinks of, even if you're not 287 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: particularly political, if you ever get invited to the White House, 288 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: you go. Yeah. I think if you think that's that's 289 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: a no brainer to me. Brendan in West Virginia, Welcome 290 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: to Clay and Buck Show. Hello, Hello, Hello, can hear me? Yes, 291 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: we got you?

It 293 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: started for me when they refused to stand for the 294 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: national anthem and my father I've grown up with watching 295 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: baseball games all my life, and my dad lives and 296 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: breathe for it, and that it started for me then, 297 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: and I just I can't hardly bear to watch any 298 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: of the stuff now, just because it's the only outlet 299 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: that we have to get out of this crazy world. 300 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: Let's go relax from watch a ballgame or or watch 301 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 1: the Olympics. And when they got to drag all the 302 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: politics into it. It just completely deflates the balloon. There's 303 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: no fun in it at all anymore, because that's the 304 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: way you go to get away from that kind of 305 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: stuff for a little while. Brandon, we agree that that's 306 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people are seen it that way.

Okay, so 309 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: here's my take to see them watching less of the Olympics. 310 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: As the understatement ever since, especially the women's soccer team, 311 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: but the other sports also since they all became woke, 312 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: it is unwatchable. I do not want anything to do 313 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: with it. No one in my family is watching it. 314 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: None of my close friends are watching it.

We had to have her there too in 351 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: a photo yesterday. We posted that on Facebook, so you 352 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: can check that stuff out. We've been saying for a 353 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: while that what's going to happen here with COVID is 354 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: there's gonna be this this public private pressure campaign from 355 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: the government on down where they'll say, oh, it's it's 356 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: not a mandate, it's not a mandate, it's just you know, 357 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: if you don't do it, we're gonna make you miserable. 358 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: And not only is the government going to try to 359 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: make you miserable in what ways it can even at 360 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: the state or local level, but they're gonna work with 361 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: people in the private sector who buy into all this stuff. 362 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: But here's an example of it from the mayor of 363 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: the largest city in America, build the Blasio talking about 364 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: how employees you're gonna have to mask up and get 365 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: COVID testing and all kinds of stuff if you don't 366 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: get the shot. If you are unvaccinated and you are 367 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: a city employee, beginning on Monday, you must either wear 368 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: a mask indoors at your works at all times, or 369 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: if you would prefer not to, you have to immediately 370 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: go get vaccinated. This is very very clear. We will 371 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: have to, unfortunately, be very tough if a city government 372 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: employee does not wear a mask indoors and they are unvaccinated, there, unfortunately, 373 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: will have to be consequences because we have to take 374 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: seriously if someone's unvaccinated. Unfortunately, they pose a threat to themselves, 375 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: but they also have the greater chance of spreading the disease. 376 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: So they don't make any allowance for those clay who 377 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 1: have had their so that doesn't count. So we're now 378 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: we're outside the realm of science, and they're saying they're 379 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: gonna fire people, and this affects a few hundred thousand 380 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: employees just in the city of New York alone. I 381 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: think you're going to see this, and you know, Saint 382 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: Louis brought back the mandate. Other places have a mask 383 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: mandate for everyone. But I think you're going to see 384 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 1: more city governments this in place now. I feel like, 385 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: and this is going to be the case because I'm 386 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: not just trying to brag on us, but I think 387 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: we have the smartest show in radio period. We are 388 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: going to be a couple of weeks to a month 389 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: ahead oftentimes of where stories are and we're going to 390 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: be looking around the corner telling you where stories are headed. 391 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: And if you look at the data coming out of Israel, 392 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: and if you look at the data coming out of England, 393 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: two countries with a more substantial rate of vaccination, what 394 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: you are seeing is that what you are being sold 395 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: right now. And I think this is a big difference 396 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: between what you are selling and what is going to 397 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: be delivered in terms of the expectation of the American public. 398 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: I believe the average American out there listening to us 399 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: right now, certainly the average blue check left wing brigade member, 400 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: they believe that with the vaccine, COVID effectively becomes smallpox 401 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: or it becomes polio. That's what the Faucis of the 402 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: world are selling. Us on that we can effectively eradicate COVID. 403 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: As you say, Buck, we can go to COVID zero. 404 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: That's not what the data shows us. So right now 405 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: they're saying the reason we aren't at COVID zero is 406 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: because of those idiot Trump voters who won't get vaccinated, 407 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: and we are going to put in place mandates to 408 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: make their lives miserable. What we are going to see 409 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: in sports is an important window. But as I said, 410 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: Israel in England is as well, is that there are 411 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: going to be a ton of breakthrough, breakthrough infections here 412 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: because according to Fiser, sorry according to Israel, the Fiser 413 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: vaccine is only thirty nine percent effective against the delta variant. Now, 414 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: hopefully it limits the overall severity of infection. But this 415 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: idea that you're able to tell whether somebody is getting 416 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: COVID and they're vaccinated or unvaccinated, I think over the 417 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: next month that distinction will vanish and it will be 418 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: almost impossible to tell why or how people are getting COVID. 419 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, get ready for a whole lot 420 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: of browbeating, of haranguing, harassing, nagging from all across the 421 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: Democrat industrial complex, in the media, the Democrat Party, and 422 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: you're going to hear a lot of people talking about 423 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: how you have a choice. But your choice is to 424 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: be constantly harassed and agitated and suffer annoying, stupid restrictions, 425 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: or get the shot, and even if that means getting 426 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: the shot again in six months, they don't care, get 427 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: it or else. Here's an example. I want to juxtapose 428 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: this with a different position they were taking before. But 429 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough, who I mean, this guy's he's doing some 430 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: performance theater where he goes on TV as a alleged 431 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: Republican or former Republican or whatever. He is saying whatever 432 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: the Democrat loon MSNBC audience wants to hear. Here he 433 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: is on how you don't want the shot, find a 434 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: new job. It's time for Joe Biden, it's time for Democrats. 435 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: It's time for serious Republicans to start ignoring the ground 436 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: noise and start focusing on the signal. And the signal 437 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: is this. If you're a school teacher, if you're a nurse, 438 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: if you're a cop, you need to get vaccinated. And 439 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: if you don't, you need to look for another job. 440 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: Can I just say that First of all, the authoritarian 441 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: impulse from Democrats on display during this entire pandemic situation 442 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: is something that I hope every American remembers for a 443 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: very long time. I mean, this is a massive Milgram 444 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: style experiment where we've seen if doctor Fouchi told you 445 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: electrocuting your neighbor would save people from COVID, about half 446 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: the country would do it, maybe more, and it keep doing. Wait, 447 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: hold on, how does electrocuting my neighbor actually stop COVID? 448 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: Hold on, the data doesn't support this. Fouchi says, do it, 449 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: So you gotta do it because of the droplets, right, 450 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 1: So we know that that's been a part of this 451 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: all along. But I also remember when the teachers unions 452 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: didn't want to have their employees going back into school 453 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty twenty one school year, Clay and 454 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: the data supported teachers going back in cops, first responders, 455 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: they all had to go do their jobs, but teachers, 456 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: because they're important to Democrats, were in a separate category. Oh, 457 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: we can't put them at risk from the COVID, so 458 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: they got to do with all this work from home stuff. 459 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: Where was Joe Scarborough with if you're a teacher, go 460 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: to work or you're fired. It's all politics, it's so 461 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: well said. And not only did teachers, who are comparatively 462 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: well paid and get off substantial amounts of time not 463 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: have to go to work, but all the people that 464 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: allowed our country to continue to function. Truck drivers, grocery 465 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: store workers, people at gas stations, all these people who 466 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: make way less money. Oftentimes certainly grocery store and gas 467 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: station employees do fast food workers, all these people people 468 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: preparing food remotely even if their restaurants weren't open. All 469 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: of these people make far, far less than teachers, and frankly, 470 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: if you want to consider the long range impact, have 471 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: way less impact on kids right in terms of their 472 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: ability to learn and their ability to hopefully grow and 473 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: progress to the point where they can one day be 474 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: fully functional members of society. And nobody, I mean, I 475 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: know you were screaming it from the rooftops, and I 476 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: certainly was screaming it from the rooftops on my show, 477 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: But comparatively almost no one said, hey, every teacher should 478 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: have to be back at work right now. We can 479 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: do this safely. They aren't under any greater risk than 480 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: a grocery store worker would be and almost no one 481 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: was willing to look at the data or the science then, 482 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: and now you're demanding that people have to get shots 483 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: in order to go back to work. I mean, it's 484 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: all insanely hypocritical, and frankly, I can understand why it 485 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: leads to overwhelming distrust of the media and people in 486 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: positions of power because they wide so much for so 487 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: long to so many and don't let the Democrats have 488 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: their cake and need it two on this one. If 489 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: it's so obvious that Deblasio in New York and Garcetti 490 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: in LA and all these other places that either are 491 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: or are about to institute vaccine mandates for employees and 492 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: want private sector businesses to do it too, then they 493 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: should be pushing. Why doesn't the White House just say 494 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: why let them have it both ways, which is what 495 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: they want to do, right The Biden White House says, oh, no, 496 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: we don't want mandates, but then all their Democrat underlings 497 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: are pushing for the mandates. Well, if it's so important, 498 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: where's the pressure from the Democrats at the state and 499 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: local level to say, hey, Biden should just come out 500 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: and say we need a federal vaccine mandate right again, 501 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: be honest, have the courage of your convictions. Libs stop 502 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: playing games. But they won't do it because they know 503 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: there'd be a political backlash, so they don't want to 504 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: have to deal with the consequences of the mandate. They 505 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: want a health mandate at the state and local and 506 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: private sector instituted level, with the White House doing this 507 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: wink and a nod thing. As you can tell, I 508 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: find this all very very agitating, But we'll come back, 509 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: take some calls, talk to you more about where this 510 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: is all heading, and set up what's going to be 511 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: a riveting show tomorrow. But you know we're gonna be 512 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: thinking more and more in the months ahead about the 513 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: legacy of the war in Afghanistan and the warren I rock, 514 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: the war on terror as we all know, and the 515 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers Foundation helps us keep our commitment to 516 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: never forget. This year, the foundation is honoring GoldStar and 517 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: fallen first responder families with young children and catastrophically injured 518 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: veterans and first responders with two hundred mortgage free homes. 519 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: Chairman and CEO Frank Siller is paying tribute to the 520 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: fallen by walking from the Pentagon to Shanksville and on 521 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: to ground zero. That's more than five hundred miles through 522 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: six states and forty two days the month of August 523 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: Clay through nine to eleven.

Welcome back. In final 533 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: segment Monday edition of the program. I am Clay Travis, 534 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: he is Buck Sexton. This is the Clay Travis and 535 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. And we have had I think a 536 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: pretty stellar show on Monday, breaking down everything that took 537 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: place over the weekend, rolling through all the big stories 538 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: of today. And by the way, we're talking about Buck. 539 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: Where we're headed. There's an interesting storyline if you believe 540 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: like I do now, everybody who's unvaccinated is the problem, 541 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: even though, as we talked about earlier in the show, Buck, 542 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: the blame is all on Trump voters, even though by 543 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: a large margin, Black voters, who overwhelmingly support Joe Biden, 544 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: are the least likely to be vaccinated right now. But 545 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: if you look at the NFL, the NFL right now 546 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: is trying to create a massive distinction between vaccinated and 547 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: unvaccinated as it pertains to COVID, and they're saying, you're 548 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: going to have to forfeit games, You're gonna have to 549 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: forfeit game checks, all these other they're even making buck 550 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: vaccinated players and unvaccinated players are wearing different color wrist 551 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: bands to identify players who are saying, hey, I don't 552 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: want to be vaccinated versus those that have. And what 553 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: we're already seeing is a massive number of athletes are 554 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: going to get COVID again because they're getting tested every day, 555 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: and even if they've already had the vaccine, and even 556 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: if they've already had COVID, the new delta variant is 557 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: coming through. They may be asymptomatic, they may not have 558 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: magnificant issues, but they're trying to make a big difference 559 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: between vaccinated and unvaccinated. I think that's going to blow up. 560 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: I think if you look at Israel and you look 561 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: at England, we're going to see a massive number of 562 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: people who are vaccinated that are still testing positive for COVID. 563 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: And I think the expectations are that that's not going 564 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: to happen. And I think it's going to be a 565 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: massive issue for the Joe Biden administration when it starts 566 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: to happen. And doctor Fauci, We've got Wayne in New 567 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: York wants to talk to us about this COVID sports issue. Wayne, 568 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: what's up? Bye? How are you guys? We're good. I am. 569 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm in Social New York. I'm like three and a 570 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: half Polish from the city on the rule. But I've 571 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: always been a Diard Giants fan and Anucre's fan and 572 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: everything all where I was. But I always love NASCAR too, 573 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: And well, I have a waant the Giants of the 574 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: Apes or any of these pro sports. In years, I 575 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: concentrate on NASCAR, and believe me, they are non bold. 576 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: I want less than a month ago and poking on us, 577 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: poking over raceway and let me tell you when Capacitor 578 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: give the invocation, the blust, the drivers, the fans, the crews, everybody. 579 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: People cheer, and when they played the national anthem, no 580 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: one had a problem staying of them but in their hat, 581 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: in their hand, over their heart, Wayne, we appreciate it. 582 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: I know NASCAR people have been saying play golf. You've 583 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: said on this show. Golf has benefited from the fact 584 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: that it is still considered. There's patriotism for American golfers 585 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: is still very much a thing that is prominent, and 586 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: NASCAR clearly has doesn't have this wokeness issue. David and 587 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: Minnesota has an interesting thought on the go Woco broke David, welcome, 588 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: Hey you guys, Rock I'll do this for sixty seconds. 589 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: Kaepernick realized that he sucked as the quarterback, so he said, 590 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: ah ha, you know a lot uncle make money being 591 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: an activist, and he has Braun almost hit a billion 592 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: now or did hit a billion, mister Rappano. I don't 593 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: think he's hurting for endorsements last time I checked. But 594 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: I want to focus on these woke corporations mainly. I'll 595 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: just use Coke as an example of one of several 596 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: if as Rush used to say, do not doubt me. 597 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: At the end of the year, the end of the 598 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 1: fifthcol year, they're gonna go to that stock puppet, Joe Biden, 599 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: and they're gonna say, hey, uncle Joe, we did our 600 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: part for the revolution. We threw in we're down to 601 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: the well and we took a twenty twenty five percent 602 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: hit in our revenue. So you know we need one 603 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two hundred million to make us whole. 604 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: Is that all thanks for? Look, I would say we 605 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: had to call her earlier talking about NASCAR, and that 606 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: was a screaming conclusion there. But I would say the 607 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of sports fans are not woke. Go to 608 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: an arena, go to a stadium, the vast majority of 609 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: people stand with their hats off when the national anthem 610 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: is played, and they respect and honor that fact. And 611 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: I think what has happened is people have lost their 612 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: mind trying to cowtow to the ten or fifteen percent 613 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: of woke sports fans, and they've allowed them to destroy 614 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: it for everybody else. I mean, the hardliners. Just go 615 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: look at the history of the October Revolution, the Soviet Union, 616 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: any number of places around the world. You don't have 617 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: to be in the majority, you don't even have to 618 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: be popular, But the extremists often go the distance because 619 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: they're the most committed. And you see this in many 620 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: aspects of our society where people now who demand the 621 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: most absurd sensitivity levels and have the greatest demand of wokeness. 622 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: That's constantly shifting too. I think that's important. There's always 623 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: this what's woke enough today? It's not going to be tomorrow, 624 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: and so you're just feeding the crocodile, so to speak, 625 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: hoping that it eats you last, because eventually it will 626 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: come for all of us. But we'll continue to follow 627 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: this issue as it plays out in the Olympics, and 628 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: I will be our special German body suit correspondent to 629 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: make sure that we know where that issue ends up. 630 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: And we'll other teams follow follow suit on that one. 631 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: But you know, we just had Joe Biden announced the 632 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: end of combat operations entirely in Afghanistan, subject we can 633 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: get into tomorrow to be sure, as well as big 634 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: tech colluding all the biggest names on the Internet to 635 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: go after white nationalist extremism online, which you might say, yeah, 636 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: white nationalist extremism is obviously a bad thing. Do you 637 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,479 Speaker 1: think they're gonna stop there? Do you think that Trump 638 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: supporters who aren't white national at all aren't going to 639 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: be pulled into this in some way?
