00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in our number two, Back

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: in the Saddle. I am Clay Travis, he is Buck Sexton.

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you. Hope you are having a fantastic

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Gonna get to AOC saying that all

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: of her critics are sexually frustrated, which is, I mean,

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: an unbelievable line that I think deserves some more attention.

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: But Buck, I had a good conversation. So I was

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: down in Florida too, and I always love to meet

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: people who are listening to the show, who are consuming

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: our content. And I was walking to the beach on

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: New Year's Day, beautiful open beaches thanks to Florida Governor

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: Ron De Santis. I vacation and have a place down

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: on the Florida Panhandle for those of you familiar between

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Deston and Panama City Beach right there, beautiful beaches packed.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Everybody was traveling from all over the country, by the way,

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 1: and a guy came up to me and he said,

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: I absolutely love your show, and he said I he's

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: in finance, He's an East Coast guy. He said, I

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: voted for Joe Biden said, I voted for Joe Biden

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: in I'm a middle of the road guy. I couldn't

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: decide which way I was going to go. He said,

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: I voted for Joe Biden, and he said, I've been

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: listening to your show, and what he has done is

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: so worse than anything I could have anticipated. I desperately

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: regret the fact that I voted for Joe Biden, and

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: it made me wonder Buck. I don't know if you

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: had any conversations with people like that, but it tied

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: in with what you were saying about New York City

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: and how many people you're hearing from who were lifelong

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Democrats that are saying, I can't take this anymore, Clay

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: I had. I had a very interesting incident actually where

33
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: someone came up to me and there were witnesses to this.

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Just in case anyone thinks that I'm playing fast and loose. Here,

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm in a Greek restaurant in Miami Beach, fun place.

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: You know some people sometimes they come out and they

37
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: break the plates and stuff. Greek restaurant, whole bunch of

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: about ten people. Guy crosses the restaurant and you know,

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm in front of some of my friends and stuff,

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: and so this is always this is always nice. Comes over,

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: extends his hand. He goes, I just want to tell

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: you what you're doing for this country is so important

43
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: and matters so much. And I love your show. I

44
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: love what you're doing. And I said, thank you, sir,

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that's very kind of you know. I'm

46
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: kind of feeling like, yeah, strutting my stuff a little

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: bit here. I've got a bunch of just friends of mine.

48
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: They've never seen this happen befo. Some of them girls

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: were there, maybe some women who witnessed this. There were

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: there were there were maybe five or six ladies present

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: for the ten vers A dinner. So there's some ladies

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: witnessing this. And then the guy without missing a beat,

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: and he's, I swear to you, he's completely serious. He goes, yeah, man,

54
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: thank you so much. He's like, I told my wife

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: that Chucker Carlson was here, but she didn't believe me.

56
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: You just accepts not. I'm like, yeah, that's great. You know,

57
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: Tucker doesn't great work. I mean I didn't, I didn't

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: say it. I just kind of let it, let it go.

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: But I think it's funny because people, you know, I

60
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: have a beard now, so maybe it looked like I

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: was on I had vacation beard. But you know, when

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: you see two people side you've done a show many times.

63
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I've done a show many times. You see people side

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: by side on the screen. It's kind of easy to get.

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: But I just I just thought it was funny. So anyway,

66
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: there's a big Tucker fan out there who I hope

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: also listens to our radio show. But he did get

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: a little kit. It's the hair man. The hair throws

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: people sometimes, so I just want to hit this. This

70
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: AOC angle right. So you're in Miami Beach where AOC

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: is And for those of you who didn't see it,

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: over the weekend, AOC flees her home district of New

73
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: York during the holidays, goes to the Free State of Florida.

74
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Is out Masculus at many different public events. And by

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: public events, I mean like they're open to the public

76
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and she's in a restaurant, or she's in a bar

77
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: or whatever. And by the way, I don't begrudge that,

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: obviously that should be the standard, but you can't have

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: two year olds in your home district of New York

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: required to wear masks. And then because you are fortunate

81
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: enough to be able to hop on a plane and

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: go down to Miami and have your holiday and you

83
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: don't have to wear masks. It's very easy. And I

84
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: think it should be paramount among people who are in

85
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: the public sphere like you or me, to hold people

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: in public public office, and public life in general accountable

87
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: to follow the rules that they would propagate upon everyone

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: else themselves. And so the criticism of AOC, I think

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: is entirely valid because it is emblematic of a hypocrisy.

90
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: If it's unsafe for you to be without a mask

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: in a public restaurant or a public venue, then why

92
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: are you doing it in Florida and traveling for your

93
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: vacation to do it when you're not allowing your own

94
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: constituents to do it. AOC responded Buck by saying that

95
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: this criticism was born of sexual frustration on behalf of Republicans.

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: A couple of things here. One can you imagine if

97
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Donald Trump had responded to criticisms from Democrats by saying,

98
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: these are just criticisms from Democrats because I've got a

99
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: hot wife, and most of them have ugly wives, and

100
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: they are sexually frustrated in their lives. The world would

101
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: have come undone if Trump, who does have a really

102
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: good looking wife, had said that criticism of him was

103
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: born from sexual frustration from his critics, they would have

104
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: lost their mind. Second part, why is it that that

105
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: statement can be made by AOC who, by the way,

106
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: is good looking for a politician. She's not good looking

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: for a actress or good looking for a public celebrity

108
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: figure on Instagram or something like that. She is good

109
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: looking for a politician. Why can she just use the

110
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: fact that she's good looking as a shield to deflect

111
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: her from all valid criticism. And how in the world

112
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: can democrats even allow that to be a standard because

113
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: they're talking all the time about privilege. Is hot girl

114
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: privilege not a thing? Does AOC just get to argue, Hey,

115
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm really good looking and that's why my critics are upset?

116
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean this to me is a crazy story that

117
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: happened that most people just totally allowed to pass. You

118
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: see all the actions of these Democrats who are some

119
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: of the most vocal proponents of lockdowns, and really it's

120
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: a virtue signaling extravaganza for a lot of people. The

121
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: whole the mask wearing and the Democrats with the oh,

122
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: we're so serious about this, and they do this in

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: public because the neurotics and the Democrat Party who also

124
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: just because there's an overriding godlessness within the Democrat Party,

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: I will just say it, and the replacement of traditional

126
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: faith with climate change belief and these other religion replacements.

127
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: They can't even allow themselves to comprehend that we're all

128
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: going to die and that actually there's nothing the state

129
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: can do to keep you alive forever. But putting that

130
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: aside for a moment, you see with AOC. You see

131
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: with so many of these politicians, they're not as as

132
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: scared of COVID as they pretend to be in public.

133
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: And this keeps happening, whether it's it's Mayor Bowser in DC,

134
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: or it's London breed in the mayor of San Francisco,

135
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: or you know, you go through all these Nancy Pelosi

136
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: getting her hair done in the salaam at the mass

137
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: down all this stuff. You keep seeing it, and it's

138
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: so very obvious to people. But I really do think

139
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: that we're going through a period of mass mental illness

140
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: of the Democrat base because they become addicted to the

141
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: fear of the insurrection, the fear of Russia collusion, and

142
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: the fear of COVID. All of these things are used

143
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: to manipulate people in ways that really it's classic brainwashing.

144
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: It is a cult like mentality because clay new information

145
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: is rejected. Break your ties to people that don't go

146
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: along the unvaccinated. Of course, if you look at the

147
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: way they bring people into cults and a lot of

148
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the Democrat response to data and fact and reason in

149
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the era of COVID, it aligns. It's actually quite similar. Yeah,

150
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: And what's really frustrating is just the failure to hold

151
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: people to a basic standard of your public and private

152
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: life should in many ways reflect your authentically held beliefs.

153
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: And to your point, the real lesson here is the

154
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: people that are constantly screaming you're in danger from COVID

155
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: don't actually believe what they're screaming. And it's not a

156
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: difficult proposition, by the way, for AOC I mean, even

157
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: if she is not the most distute politician of all time.

158
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: When you take a vacation to Miami and you decide

159
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: to gallivant about without wearing a mask again while you

160
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: are requiring two year olds in your own district while

161
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: you are supporting the idea that two year olds should

162
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: have to wear masks. That hypocrisy is so rank, and

163
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: then when you get criticized for it, to fall upon

164
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: the idea that you are good looking and that's why

165
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: people are criticizing you is next level dishonest. One of

166
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: the problems of someone like AOC is that she has

167
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: an outsized influence in the national conversation because of social media,

168
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: and because a lot of the dumbest leftists are of

169
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: this generation that supports AOC. They don't know anything, and

170
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: so her ignorance almost becomes a calling card of sorts

171
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: as well. She's just going to say crazy things that

172
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: are absurd but make people who don't know very much

173
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: about the world feel better about themselves. But I also

174
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: feel like we spend more time. It's not just AOC

175
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: either others, and it's not just members of the squad

176
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: in Congress. You know, I'm in Pelosi says plenty of

177
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: stupid things too. We spend more time analyzing this. We

178
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: have to realize, Ultimately, Clay, they don't care that they're wrong. Ultimately,

179
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: AOC couldn't actually make an argument, doesn't have to make

180
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: an argument about why it's okay for her to do

181
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: this while two year olds are masking, and the fact

182
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: that she has this, as you rightly point out, really embarrassing.

183
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, intellectually flimsy is too kind a way to

184
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: put it. Oh, because people are sexually frustrated by me.

185
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: You know, I don't I don't want to. I don't

186
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: want why they're criticizing you for not wearing a mask.

187
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: But that has no connection whatsoever. It's just bizarre. But

188
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: it's But it's a little bit like people who just

189
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: cry misogyny or racism the moment that they're caught up

190
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: in something, right, it's like, hey, wait, this person, didn't

191
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: you know they're this public figure, This is a member

192
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: of Congress, didn't pay their taxes or you know, isn't

193
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: paying spousal support. Races or misogyny or whatever. Right, this

194
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: is this is the game that the left plays all

195
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: the time. One of the big challenges that I think

196
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: we continue to have is that right now you are

197
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: I will debate any person on planet Earth about the

198
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Biden administrations policies on masking and force vaccination, and I

199
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: would verbally annihilate them. Yeah, I mean, and this is

200
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: I think they recognize this at some level, because that's

201
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: why they never subject themselves to public criticism. And by

202
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: the way, we would have these people on our show,

203
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: like we're not running from them if AOC wanted to

204
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: come on and explain why So everybody's so sexually frustrated

205
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: because she didn't have a mask on, like, hey, we'll

206
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: allow you to come on. You'll get destroyed, You'll get

207
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: absolutely ridicule. And that's the problem that most in the

208
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: media won't do that. Right, there is no standard. There's

209
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: no standard. And it's true of Fauci, it's true of

210
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: all these other voices right now, how come no one's

211
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: asked them? Just in a live, open public forum. You

212
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: guys said this would stop the spread? How's this stopped

213
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: the spread? And ask them? And don't allow for these

214
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: you oh, the data over time, the iterations of the

215
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: mitigations have you know, no, were you wrong? And if

216
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: you were wrong, why aren't you admitting it? Why haven't

217
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: you said it before? And what does that mean going forward?

218
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: There is no accountability for this anymore. They've created this

219
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: bubble of elite consensus that's really Actually, it's like people

220
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: that you know, they think that the best golfers in

221
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: the world just because they're never leaving the country club

222
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: where they play, right, Like, you've got to actually subject

223
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: yourself to the broader world. If you're going to say

224
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: that you're right, they will not do it. It's appalling,

225
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: and that's why they get to wear this stuff. But yeah,

226
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: I mean AOC some of her I guess what I'm

227
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: trying to say about her clays some of the things.

228
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: A lot of the things she says are so stupid

229
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: that I actually feel debased as a public commentator having

230
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: to explain how dumb they are. I think that's well said.

231
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: What's disappointing is how in the world can she get

232
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: away with making that argument. I mean, the argument she

233
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: should follow is just, hey, I follow whatever state and

234
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: local regulations exist wherever I am in the country. I

235
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: understand that that can be frustrating, but that's the world

236
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: we live in right now. It's not a great answer,

237
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: but at least it's an answer. I'm not wearing a mask,

238
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: and the reason why you are picking on me for

239
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: not wearing a mask is because of your sexual frustrations.

240
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: Is such an incredibly strange argument to make the fact

241
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: that everyone out there in the media MSNBC, CNN, New

242
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Fox News, everybody

243
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: should be teeing off on a lie. That is that obvious.

244
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: We don't get that. So I did say something from

245
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: your world, from the Sports World. I got two things

246
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: on my mind right now. I want to come back to.

247
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: One is this is January sixth week, everybody, so just

248
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: be prepared for You're going to think, Wait a second,

249
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: is there is there an invasion of space aliens who

250
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: are blowing up all major cities, like you know from

251
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: the movie Independence Day? Is that happening around Oh no,

252
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: it's January six weeks. So we're gonna have that to

253
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: talk about and how the libs are going to try

254
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: to capitalize on it. But I saw this, mister Antonio

255
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: Brown right from the Sports World, interesting reaction to this

Speaker 1: absurd story surrounding Antonio Brown. I'm gonna give you those

283
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: details if you missed it. But I love the NFL

284
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: media because they're super woke. I mean, you think the

285
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: political media are woke, Buck. They're going to now have

286
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: to make a decision over who the NFL MVP is.

287
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: And the decision is going to be Aaron Rodgers, the

288
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Green Bay Packers who refused to get

289
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: vaccinated and everybody was just furious that he refused to

290
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: get vaccinated and said that he was immunized, or it's

291
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: going to be Tom Brady, who add a Maga hat

292
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: in his locker when Donald Trump was running for president.

293
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: Those are basically the two options, and Tom Brady is

294
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback for Antonio Brown, and Antonio Brown is sort

295
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: of a mercurial wide receiver who has blown out as

296
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: welcome in with the Pittsburgh Steelers, blew out as welcome

297
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: with the Oakland Raiders at the time, also then blew

298
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: up everything with New England Patriots when he was released

299
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: because of a sexual assault charge and our sexual start

300
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: allegation it wasn't actually a charge, and then now has

301
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: decided in the middle of a game. You haven't seen

302
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: this video, It's pretty entertaining. In the middle of the game,

303
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown takes off his pads, takes off his jersey,

304
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: strips down shirtless, walks through the end zone, waving goodbye

305
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: to everyone, exits the field, and immediately goes to the airport,

306
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: according to report from Chris Myers, where he got an

307
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: airplane flight and left in the middle of the game,

308
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: basically ending his career. I think, Buck, you even saw

309
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: this video, What was your reaction when you see a

310
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: player in a game in the middle of the game

311
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: quit and walk off the field. I mean, I've I've

312
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: definitely been in some situations where I kind of envy this,

313
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, I wish I could have just in the

314
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: middle of a CNN segment when the lib anchors were

315
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: engaged in the classic CNN ambus, just be like, you

316
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: know what, just take off the tie, take off this

317
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: walker to be like I'm out, you know, throw the

318
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: mic down, and people have done that sort of thing

319
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: on cable news before. I did think it was interesting

320
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: to watch this just because I am I understanding, and

321
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: I know correct me if I'm wrong, because we talked

322
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: for this a while ago, and I don't even I

323
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: didn't even have strong views on this. I was just

324
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: kind of thinking about it in real time. But my

325
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: understanding from a sports world is that when a competitor

326
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: decide suddenly to no longer compete, if it's for any

327
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of mental health or emotional reason, that's incredible bravery.

328
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: More so then even continuing to play for your team

329
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: and to be a part of that competitive process. I

330
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: thought that was the rule. It is really funny. For

331
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: those of you who remember the Summer Olympics, probably the

332
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: thing that you've gotten criticized for the most funny anything

333
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: we've said on the show, Buck came out. I said

334
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: the same thing, and people just like totally. I think

335
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: they expect Yeah, they expected it from you. That was

336
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah. Yeah. So Simone Biles decides in the

337
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: middle of a competition. For those of you who don't remember,

338
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: Simone Biles decides in the middle of the gymnastics competition,

339
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: I can't do this. I am pulling myself out. I'm

340
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: not mentally there, and so I am withdrawing from competition.

341
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 1: Everybody has the ability and the right to withdraw from

342
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: any competition that they want. But immediately she was hailed

343
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: as a mental health hero. There were absolute odes to

344
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: her bravery spread out across sports media everywhere. And I said,

345
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: at that point in time, I said, if you quit,

346
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: that's fine, but it's not heroic to quit. And if

347
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: a man had done the exact same thing as what

348
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: Simone Biles did, he would get criticized to the high heavens.

349
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: Now we have Antonio Brown in the middle of a

350
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 1: sporting event. I think Antonio Brown unfortunately probably has early

351
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: stage CTE. I think he certainly has mental health issues

352
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: just based on his behavior. But he is getting destroyed

353
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: across everywhere in the sports ecosystem. So how is it

354
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: that Simone Biles quitting in the middle of a gymnastics

355
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: event is heroic and brave and Antonio Brown is a

356
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: malcontent deserving of total condemnation by everyone in the world

357
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: of sports. Didn't he in some way do what Simone

358
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Biles did? How was it that the left wing cancelation

359
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: brigade is going to yell at me more for just

360
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: being present for this analysis with Clay, Then Clay will

361
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: be for saying these things. I mean, that's that's a

362
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: side note. Well, I think someone bile is going to

363
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: end up the NFL MVP. I mean I made a

364
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: joke about this last night on Twitter. But the wokest

365
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: of the sports media members, I really like they are

366
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: gonna be curled up in the fetal position shivering, and

367
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: that because they have omicron, because they have to decide

368
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: between Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, two people whose politics

369
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: and personal decisions as they pertain to COVID and Donald

370
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: Trump do not align with the predominant far left wing

371
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: of the sports media. Everything, folks, is political. Now, that's

372
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: the world that we have all been pulled into. There

373
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: was a time and it's not just in sports. You

374
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: see this now in health. I know this now seems

375
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: it's like farcical to discuss it. There was a time

376
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: when what works, what keeps people healthy, what's safe, And

377
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't about whether you're a red team blue team.

378
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't eva try to republican. Everything now has become

379
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity because this is how this is how cultural

380
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Marxism operates. This is how the totalitarian left pushes forward

381
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: the agenda. Nothing can be outside the scope of the

382
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: ideological need for power and control over your lives. You

383
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: see it in sports, you see it all over the place.

384
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean on the Simone Boss thing that

385
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: was I think we had the exact same opinion, which

386
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: is I was like, okay, fine, if someone had sprained

387
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: an ankle and can can't finish, you know, criticize them

388
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: for that, but you know, you say, okay, sorry to

389
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: hear that, and you move on. Someone's having a you know,

390
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: mental or you know, emotional difficulty, they pull out of

391
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: an event, you don't say that's amazing, they're You just say, okay,

392
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: they're they're taking some time for themselves. Also fine. But

393
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: the yeah, the pandering elevation, there was the part of

394
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: it that we all saw and just was like, what

395
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: is this guy? Can We all just said and I

396
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: just said, the great thing about sports is we treat

397
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: everybody We should equally because in competition there's a winner

398
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: and a loser. And I said at the time, and

399
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: I'll reiterate it now, if a man had done what

400
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: Simone Biles did and we just saw it happen with

401
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, he would get casticated, castigated, criticized, derided to

402
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: the high heavens probably for that choice, and now we're

403
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: seeing it, and it's true, that's exactly what's happening. I

404
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: saw the analogy. He's probably fired, right, I mean he's

405
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: no longer Oh he's been Yeah, he's been cut from

406
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His career may be over because

407
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: he walked out on his team in the middle of

408
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: a game, whatever his reasons might have been, most people

409
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: out there in the world of sports are going to

410
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: say this is unacceptable. And yet if you heard about it.

411
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: And look, I'm not saying Simone Biles is an awful person,

412
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: far from it. And I'm not directly comparing anything psychologically

413
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: that she or Antonio Brown we're going through. I'm just

414
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: saying it's most basic level when you decide not to

415
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: compete for mental reasons, for any reason, the standard of

416
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: at play. If you're going to say Simone Biles is

417
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: courageous and brave, then why would you not say that

418
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is courageous and brave. I'm applying the same

419
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: standard male or female to everyone out there, and most

420
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: people are not going to do that. And it is

421
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: really to me instrumental and instructive of where we are

422
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: as a society, that we have different standards for athletes

423
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: based on what their identity is. You can sometimes see

424
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: where we're heading in this country politically, culturally based on

425
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: similar arguments playing out, you know, the parts of the

426
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: Western world, certainly Truder and COVID. You might have seen

427
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: some of the video footage of what's going on in

428
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: the Netherlands at anti vaccine protests and lockdown protests over

429
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,000

Speaker 1: How loueing tunes do things get up in Canada these days?

433
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: With the mask up between bites? How about mask up

434
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: between sniffs? What I'm I even talking about? You're gonna

Speaker 1: have to stay with us and we will get there.

436
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: This shouldn't be a hard question to answer. Did you

437
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: wake up in agonizing pain this Morgan morning? It's a

438
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: really easy question. I mean, how often do you get

439
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,880

Speaker 1: I had mentioned to you before that up in Canada,

470
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: A we have some Canada listeners, Clay, but I get

471
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: the occasional, occasional Canadian writing in, you know, perhaps even

472
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: a Quebec quas writing in and uh saying I guarantee

473
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: I love your show from up in Montreal, you know, so,

474
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it's it's good stuff up in Canada. Though,

475
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: they've had some COVID madness along the lines of what

476
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: you see in Europe where cops are or or close

477
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: to what you see in Australia cops are dragging people

478
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: out of church and rescue people. So this guy, look,

479
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: this is this is on social media, goes viral. I

480
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: don't know the individual, I can't verify, but if you

481
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: watch the video you get a sense of, yeah, this

482
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: is this actually happened. He's had the equivalent of a

483
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: of a dollar like a dollar store, you know. Uh.

484
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: I forget the name of this particular one. But the

485
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: the dispute here seems to be over that he wouldn't

486
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: It's not that he wouldn't wear a mask, remember this,

487
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: it's that he pulled his mask down. Let's hear the

488
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: reason he's fighting with the owner of the story here.

489
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: Let's hear about what it's like up in Canada these

490
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: days with mask policies. So I'm at the store trying

491
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: the shop right now. It's not a picture, it's a video.

492
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: You would not keep your mouth now it is up

493
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: for the big no no here. I was trying to

494
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: smell these candles here to shop at dollar rama here

495
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: as I pulled my mask down to smell, and now

496
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: I have another guy yelling at me over here. Leave

497
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: the store. Okay, there's no way to talk to people

498
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: like that. There's no need to bring that down. I

499
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: literally was trying to smell a candle. You were in

500
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: your him, and then you were abusive to me. Your

501
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: started actually and so is your stock literating at him.

502
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: We need to what he thought as he were not

503
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: keeping it. I was trying a candle, says it. All

504
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: time smell a candle, you have to mask up between

505
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: sniffs clay. It's a real thing. Now you are not

506
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: allowed to smell the candle you wish to buy without

507
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: smelling it through the dirty, soggy mask that you're forced

508
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: to wear. That does not stop COVID. By the way,

509
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: the accents make that video to me, and by the way,

510
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: the woman who just steps in is a random woman

511
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: who was also in the store. That's not a woman

512
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: with him. So I'm torn on this in many ways.

513
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: I want to start with this buck. Have you do

514
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 1: you purchase good smelling candles for your bachelor pad place

515
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: in New York City? Do you have you I've never

516
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: purchased a candle in my life, So I wonder on

517
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: some level whether this is staged because you have a

518
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: man by himself in a dollar store and he's going

519
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: and just pulling his mask down to smell candles. So

520
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm curious, do you purchase good smelling candles for your apartment?

521
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: Have you ever done that? I mean, sometimes you want

522
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: to put on a little bit of you know, mint

523
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: medley or you know evergreen fir tree or something throw

524
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: some cats. Stevens on in the background. Let the cat purr.

525
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You gotta stay. I've been

526
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: married seventeen years. I have never purchased a candle. What's more,

527
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: I have really bad smell anyway, So I think all

528
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: of the candles would smell the same to me, like

529
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: all these different candles scents primarily directed for women. But

530
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: I do love the idea that this guy is so

531
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: committed to his candle purchase that he's going around individually

532
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: smelling them, and that some other man who was running

533
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: this store is of the opinion that the store is

534
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: no longer safe because this guy is smelling the candles.

535
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: It's a lot like what's going on in in airplanes

536
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: right now, where you have to pull your mask up

537
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: and down depending in between bites. I am between drinks.

538
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: I have seen and witnessed airline attendants telling people that

539
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: they've taken too long in the masks. Happened to me

540
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: when when I was solo when I came on, so

541
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: I meant to tell you this. I was flying back

542
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: from Key West. I had a coffee. I was sitting

543
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: in the waiting area. I was drinking my coffee literally

544
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the coffee was on my lips and the flight attendant

545
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: lady came over and she said, sir, you're going to

546
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: have to pull your mask up between SIPs that you

547
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: take of your coffee or or I'm going to have

548
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: to report. These people are mentally ill tyrants. There's no

549
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: there's no way around the little everyone. Let's just call

550
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: it what it is. They are mentally ill tyrants and

551
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: it needs to stop. Okay, they need to get a grip.

552
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: We don't need to play kate them anymore. You know.

553
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that they're so incapable of dealing with reality,

554
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: but enough is enough. We had a couple of calls

555
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: I want to get to before we get in the

556
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: third hour here to talk about schools which are closing

557
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: in some places in New York City over COVID, and

558
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: also what all the fallout from the school closures is

559
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: up to this point. Wayne in Saint Helen's, Oregon. What's up, Wayne? Yeah,

560
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted to call a comment on Brown's walking

561
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: off the field. Yes, today he let his teammates. Now

562
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: do you let us coach? How do you let us

563
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: contract down? His owners, down, his fans down. He was

564
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: an integral part of that team. Yes, and they were

565
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: working their tails off to keep him with a good attitude,

566
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: but he blew it. And and when you have a

567
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: son in the NFL, is that right? Yeah? I have

568
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: a son to play nice I think I think Wayne's

569
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent right on this call. In Buck,

570
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: I would say, this is not even just about pro athletics.

571
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: I coach and have coached Little league and in basketball, baseball.

572
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: And if I had a player who decided midway through

573
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: the game that he was upset with me because of

574
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: my coaching decisions, and he took his jersey off, and

575
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: he took off his T shirt underneath his jersey, and

576
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: he walked off shirtless. I'm talking about like a nine

577
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: and ten year old kid who did this. I would

578
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: want to talk with the parent and say, hey, what's

579
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: going on with a kid that he decides to make

580
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: a choice like this. And I think there's a lot

581
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: of people out there who have coached little league and

582
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: would feel the same way. If you walk out on

583
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: your teammates in the middle of a game like Antonio

584
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: Brown did, I think he has he has mental issues.

585
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: I think that's clear. I want to get this in

586
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: real quick, Kevin in Ohio. We got less than a minute,

587
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: but you've got thoughts on candles. Yeah, come on, Clay,

588
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 1: I've been divorced as long as you've been married, and

589
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: so I've remained single and tech. When I'm at the

590
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: grocery store, I'm always buying candles. Or if you're a

591
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: big candle guy, go buy a candle. You gotta set

592
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: the mood traffic. You buy it for you or do

593
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: you buy it for women? No? I buy it to

594
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: disguise the smell of being a single guy. Oh there

595
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: we go. See, thank you, sotands the struggle. Not all

596
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: of us, Clay, are married with a happy home life.

597
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: We gotta get We gotta entice the ladies with some sense.

598
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: He's doing it for women, though, I guess I'm just

599
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: thinking about single men sitting around by themselves lighting candles.

600
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: It seems weird. I'm just gonna say, single men, we

601
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: bathe for the women, like I mean, you know, there's

602
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: a lot we gotta do for women. So that's the

603
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: way it goes. School closures, COVID madness coming up our

604
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: three stick around third hour of the Clay, Travis and

605
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: bucksexon show, First Show of twenty twenty two upon us. Now,

606
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: thank you very much for being here. We always appreciate

607
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: your time. Friends. Eight hundred two eight two two eight

608
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: eight two. A little bit of a preview of where

609
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: we're going later on this week. As you know, this

610
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: Thursday is January sixth, the so called insurrection, and I

611
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: have written about this at bucksexon dot com and I

612
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: stand behind it. The anyone who calls January six and

613
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: insurrection is either an idiot or a liar. I know

614
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: something about insurrections as a or coups someone who worked

615
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: in the intelligence community. We understand how this stuff happens

616
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: in other countries. People taking selfies and trespassing, even in

617
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: a mob, are not going to affect a coup or

618
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: an insurrection in any meaningful way. But just be prepared

619
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: for and we'll discuss it a lot. We'll have some

620
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: guests to bring this to the forefront later this week.

621
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: Be prepared for CNN to go to eleven. For those

622
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: of you who remember the movie This is Spinal Tap.

623
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: They're going to take the hysteria to eleven on this

624
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: because what else have they got They certainly don't have

625
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: the end of COVID cases talk about, we also will

626
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: want to discuss the people still held in solitary confinement.

627
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: We have political prisoners in this country right now. You

628
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: can hold people for months and months on end without

629
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: trial for nonviolent crimes and say that you're doing this

630
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: in keeping with law and justice in America. Sorry, that

631
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. The Democrats don't mind, because they have to punish.

632
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: They have to punish those guilty of parading without a

633
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: license or whatever the specific charges inside the capital. So

634
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: we'll discuss that to be sure. Just to put this

635
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: on the context, since we've been mentioning the COVID cases

636
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: and I want to dive into the school situation with

637
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: Clay here in a moment. We aren't just at a

638
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: high level of COVID spread in the United States right now.

639
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: We are at the highest level of COVID spread ever.

640
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: All right. This is the data from the CDC as

641
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: listed on the New York Times, but it comes directly

642
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: from the CDC. You're at four hundred and five thousand

643
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: cases on average as of January second, over fourteen days

644
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: over a two week period. That is a two hundred

645
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: and four percent rise. Cases have doubled in two weeks

646
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: on average. Now, deaths, thank thank heavens, are still at

647
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: a relatively low level. You have not seen an increase

648
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: in the average death where it's about twelve hundred a day.

649
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: In fact, it's down three percent over the last fourteen days,

650
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: which of course is in line with Omicron is less dangerous.

651
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of delta out there. There's still

652
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: the other variants, but omicron is substantially less dangerous, which

653
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: is very very good news. And we may get to

654
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: a point where we're at the end of the pandemic

655
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: here by and large, because there's so much natural immunity

656
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: from so many people getting infected, and particularly with this

657
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: big surge of omicron, the chance of someone never getting

658
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: COVID at this point, given how omicron variant spreads, is small,

659
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: but fortunately it's less dangerous than some of the other variants.

660
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: Given all this, there's still discussion about shutting down schools,

661
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: and you can hear people talking about the danger to

662
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: kids still. Here's doctor Scott Gottlieb on Face the Nation

663
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday talking about children dying at two hundred times

664
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: the rate as compared to the flu clan. I'll break

665
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: this down for you, but we have to recognize this

666
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: has not been a benign disease in young children. There's

667
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: a perception that young children haven't been hit hard to

668
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: date from coronavirus. That's just not true. We've recorded more

669
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: than six hundred pediatric deaths COVID over the last two years.

670
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: To put that in perspective, we had one death from

671
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: flu in the pediatric population last year and so far

672
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: to this year. So over a period of time, we've

673
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: done a very good job protecting children generally from respiratory infections.

674
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: We've recorded more than six hundred deaths from COVID against

675
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: three deaths from flu. Okay, this is bullcrap, and this

676
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: guy is intentionally misleading people. Let's start with this because

677
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: I actually checked the numbers, Clay. We checked the numbers

678
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: here on this show. In average flu year last year,

679
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: there was apparently no flu, which is a whole other

680
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: conversation to be had. Right, in an average flu year,

681
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty children die from flu. About one

682
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty is the number you see, So it's

683
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: not two, it's one hundred and fifty. The six hundred

684
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: number he gave you a lot of that are people

685
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: who died with COVID, children at with COVID, not from COVID,

686
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: and even within the from COVID. Based on the most

687
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: recent data, seventy percent of the children who have died

688
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: from COVID had substantial comorbidities effectively a nonfunctioning immune system,

689
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: pediatric cancer. I mean, they were at serious risk from

690
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: any disease that could possibly be out there. But he's

691
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: making it seem like this needs to happen. Why, Clay,

692
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: They've just approved boosters for kids over twelve. Your kid

693
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: has to get the shot. There are many parts of

694
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: the COVID response universe that to me are indefensible from

695
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: a data perspective. Trying to scare parents, to me, is

696
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: the single worst thing that's occurred over the past couple

697
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: of years. And Gottlieb is smart enough to know exactly

698
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: what he is doing. The same thing is true of

699
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci and everyone else. And I just want to

700
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: keep hammering this home because I think it's so significant,

701
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: and because I'm the parent of three young kids. I've

702
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: got a thirteen year old and eleven year old and

703
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: a seven year old, and they matter more to me

704
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 1: than any thing in the world. Anything if I thought

705
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: they were in substantial danger from COVID, I would be

706
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: taking whatever measure was necessary to protect them. The reality

707
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: is much apparenting is about analyzing risks and behaving in

708
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: a rational fashion. That's a real truth. My kids and

709
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: your kids are under more danger right now of being murdered,

710
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: of dying in a car accident, of drowning. And if

711
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: you look and they are young, and you look at

712
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: the years ahead as Buck just said, as opposed to

713
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: the past couple of years when the flu has disappeared,

714
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: they are under more danger. Young kids are from the

715
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: seasonal flu five to eleven year old kids, that is

716
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: eleven and younger. Those are all super significant factors. Okay,

717
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: they should be spread far and wide because they undergird

718
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: the responsibility that we all have that schools remain open.

719
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: And Buck to your point. Right now, Chicago school teachers

720
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 1: are threatening to not return to school, arguing that there

721
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: is a danger from COVID that is so substantial that

722
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: we need to pull all kids out. The failures that

723
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: we have had as it pertains to children surrounding COVID, Buck,

724
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: you know this, the data reflects that we never should

725
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: have shut down schools but if we were going to

726
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: shut down schools, the biggest failure of all is that

727
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: we didn't reopen every school in the country and the

728
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: summer in the fall of twenty twenty. We didn't do

729
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: that because Democrats were trying to drag Joe Biden across

730
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: the finish line, and they made the calculated decision that

731
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: terrifying parents was going to help them with suburban women

732
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: and with some suburban men who just didn't like Trump,

733
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: that they were going to hang all of the deaths

734
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: from COVID on Trump. That storyline. It's gone now right,

735
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: More people have died with COVID under Joe Biden's presidency

736
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: than died with COVID under Donald Trumps. As you said,

737
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: we are at an all time high for the number

738
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: of COVID k is and what you're starting to see

739
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 1: as a pivot to hey, maybe cases don't even matter

740
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: as much. Did you see what MSNBC says, yea, Chris

741
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: Chris Hay said that it's to treat this like the flu,

742
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: which some of us have been saying for almost two

743
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: years now. I mean, they're returning to the original arguments

744
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: that were made to try to get us to avoid

745
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: the lockdowns, the mandates, the mask mania, all of it.

746
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: But if we're really going to look at this and

747
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: not only do an after action report to assess the damage,

748
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: but to help us to guide us right now, we

749
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: have to look at the downsides. The upside of all

750
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: these programs, whether it's masking, forced vaccination, social distancing, lockdowns,

751
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: is almost zero for people that are really looking at this.

752
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's very hard to make a case that

753
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: this has The only exception would be, uh, you know,

754
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: the the increase in vaccination that you might get in

755
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: some places for the at risk population, but as we know,

756
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: didn't stop the spread. All the other stuff, lockdowns, masking irrelevant.

757
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, all these things didn't work, but the costs

758
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: are very real and we're still just getting a sense

759
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: of what they are. This isn't The New York Times.

760
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: Over the Christmas break, as Clay and I were out

761
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: on vacation, I read this and I wanted to bring

762
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: it to your attention. This is a quote from it.

763
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: The students return, but the fallout from a long disruption

764
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: remained here. It is Nationally, the high school age group

765
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: has reported some of the most alarming mental health declines

766
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: evidenced by depression and suicide attempts. Adolescents have failed classes

767
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: critical to their futures at higher rates, affecting graduation and

768
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: college prospects. Elected leaders and public officials scrambled to bring

769
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: students back to school last winter. In spring, the focus

770
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: on having the youngest and most vulnerable students return to

771
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: in person instructions left many high school students to languish,

772
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: with a large number missing most or all the twenty

773
00:42:53,840 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: twenty one academic year. Clay suicide, depression, academic behinds if

774
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: you will, catastrophic levels. Kids are killing themselves because of

775
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: the mental anguish they've been put through by being massed

776
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: up separated from their friends. A lot of homes can

777
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: really handle having a kid at home five days a

778
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: week instead of being in school. People, you know, there's

779
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: maybe only one parent, there's there's difficult family situations, and

780
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: they don't even factor this. Immit, you know, Faucci, it's

781
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: cruel what they're doing. I mean, that's really what, What

782
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: what Faucci and the teachers, unions and Randy Weinarten have

783
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: done to kids is cruel and they need to answer

784
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: for this. It's inexcusable and unlike many of the people,

785
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: and I wish. Look, I always feel like you have

786
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: to say this because you'll get clipped and somebody you'll

787
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: be like, oh, Clay and Buck don't care about death.

788
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: Let me be clear here. I wish we were all immortal, right.

789
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: I wish that my grandma and your grandpa and me

790
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: and everyone that I love would never die. Right. I

791
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: wish that I could snap my fingers and make that

792
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: a reality. If you that is not, unfo going to

793
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: become a reality, Okay, if you look at the ages,

794
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: and I think this is such a significant story and

795
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: it isn't talked about very much. Buck. In addition to

796
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: all those mental health challenges to the suicide rates, we're

797
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: not hardly even talking about the rates of overdose deaths

798
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: and what has happened since we locked down the country

799
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: and basically disallowed people to continue to have the support

800
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: structures that they might have had in their life before

801
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: churches addiction groups in some form or fashion. Overdose deaths

802
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: have doubled since we went with lockdowns. When you average

803
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: in that the people who are dying of overdose are

804
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: in their twenties, their thirties, their forties, and then you

805
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: also factor in all of the kids whose lives are

806
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: being inalterably ruined in many ways by not having school.

807
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: We're taking away the quality of life of young people,

808
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: and we are on the back end not really preserving

809
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: very much of quality of life for old people. We

810
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: have failed. Being unable to live in a nursing home

811
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: and be around to other people is not giving them

812
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: a quality of life either. This is and I want

813
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: to keep hammering this home because it's true, the biggest

814
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: American policy failure since Vietnam. And I think it's even

815
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: worse than Vietnam, which means I don't even know now

816
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: if you look at our response to COVID, I don't

817
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: even know how far back in time you have to go,

818
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: probably outside of the twentieth century almost in order to

819
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: look at how big of a systemic failure. This is

820
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: the most disastrous, painful, and destructive decision made by any

821
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: public health apparatus in modern history. I mean, I don't

822
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: know what you could think of that would even begin

823
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: to align with this. And they will never admit it. Friends,

824
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: just just know that right now, they will never admit it.

825
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about I mentioned that Rhonda Santis

826
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: getting attacked for, you know, accompanying his wife to try

827
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: to help cancer. He spoke out about that today. We'll

828
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: get to that and a lot of bid he senses,

829
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: he sends his clay. Maybe there is a double standard

830
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: at work here considering where Joe Biden's been hanging out.

831
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: But you know, refinancing your mortgage can make a big

832
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: difference in your life, especially with today's low rates. You

833
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: could save up to a thousand dollars a month. That's

834
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: twelve grand a year. That kind of money can be

835
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: used to pay off debt and vest and prove your home.

836
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: It's totally up to you. It starts with a call

837
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: to American Financing, America's home for home loans. They're a

838
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: national mortgage lender with salary based mortgage consultants, meaning they

839
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: provide a no pressure, no obligation experience that's focused on you.

840
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: You never pay up front or hidden fees either, because

841
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: they truly follow a consultative approach, working with you to

842
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: find the greatest overall savings. So what are you waiting for?
