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 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast, Walking Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: I am Clay Travis and we are joined now by

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Texas Senator Ted Cruz and I spent Friday playing poker

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: for probably five six seven hours against Senator Cruz, involved

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Phil Helmot, Doyle Brunson, many other different individuals. It was

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: an awesome time, Senator Cruz, appreciate you coming on. You

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: love playing poker. I have not played a lot of

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: poker in my day, but I do know Phil Helmuth

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: and Doyle Brunson are two of the most iconic poker

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: players of all time. How much fun did you have

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: sitting down being able to go head to head with

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: those guys? Well, Clay, it was just ridiculous fun. It

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: was truly a bucket list moment. You and I were

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: both there playing on Poker after Dark. It'll be it'll

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: air in a month or two. And to have a

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: chance to go up again all time great. You know

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: Doyle Brunson Texas Dolly has has two World Series Championships,

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: has ten bracelets all together. Helmett has fifteen bracelets. Just

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: those two guys together have twenty five bracelets between them.

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: It was crazy to be sitting at the table with them.

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: We also had the YouTuber mister Beast, who was playing

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: with us, and I gotta say it was one of

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: those those moments that you know, well, we'll tell the

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: grandkids about that. So it was an awesome time and

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate you inviting me to be a part of

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: that table. We were playing for charity, by the way,

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: so there are three great charities that are going to

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: be awarded, the champion, the winnings there when that thing airs,

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: and everybody can see how it goes. Now, mister Beast

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: is a YouTuber and I was talking about this earlier.

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Lots of people may or may not know who he is,

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: but he's got sixty seven point one million YouTube subscribers

34
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: and by the way, that's bigger than the population of France, Italy,

35
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: basically the same as the population of England, to kind

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: of put it into perspective how many people that is.

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: And some of our listeners out there won't know him,

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: but my kids and your kids, I mean, he might

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: as well be Elvis. Yeah, it was. Our kids were

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: giddy about it. He was. He was actually very cool

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: he recorded videos for your kids and my kids. My

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: daughters actually jumped on a plane and flew there with

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: me because that they didn't care about about the rest

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: of us. Yes, mister Bees, our girls are are ten

45
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: and thirteen, and they were beside themselves with excitement. So

46
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: it's really cool. They got to meet him, and he

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: was really nice. He was gracious, He took pictures with

48
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: the kids, he hung out with them, and it was

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: really very kind of him to do. Senator Cruiz. It's

50
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Buck here. Sorry I couldn't join you guys, but I

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: didn't want to have to take the deeds to your

52
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: houses and the keys of your cars, and you know,

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: missus Cruise would be very upset if the Buster was

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: able to run while there at the poker table. So

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, and Buck, Buck, I do

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: need to ask you, where should I part plays truck.

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: It's a good question. It's a good question. My wife

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: actually said when I left ed, she was like, hey,

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: whatever you do, limit your losses. So I think you

60
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: took the best hand I had all day. We came

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: back and played into the late night there in the

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: poker after dark studios. Best hand I had all day

63
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: you basically cleared me out because you beat me by

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: basically one card is one of the best hands you

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: had all day, and we ended up with a big,

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: big pack, a pile of cash between us. Senator Cruz,

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I do got to turn us here if I can,

68
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: to what's going on in the world around us and

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: here at home most notably, let's let's let's start with

70
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: how does how does the COVID madness? And to mean

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: you're in the Senate, you know what's happening here across

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: the country. The federal government's getting more aggressive. New York

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: City has and is enforcing vaccine mandates for all public life. Essentially,

74
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: what's going on? How do we turn this around? It

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: really is ridiculous. This disease is going to run its course,

76
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: and we're going to beat this pandemic. But in the meantime,

77
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: we're seeing a whole lot of idiot politicians who just

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: their authoritarian instincts are coming out and it seems like

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: they've never met a mandate they didn't like. My view

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: is real simple. This disease is serious. We need to

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: treat it serious than we have. We've taken extraordinary steps,

82
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: but I don't believe there should be any mandates concerning COVID.

83
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: That means there shouldn't be any vaccine mandates. That means

84
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be any mass mandates. That means there shouldn't

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: be any vaccine passports. You know, when it comes to vaccines,

86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I believe in vaccines. I personally have been vaccinated, my

87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: family has been vaccinated. But I also believe in individual

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: responsibility and choice. I think if you're an adult, you

89
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: ought to be able to figure out the healthcare decisions

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: you make in consultation with your doctors. And these politicians

91
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: that are trying to put mandates in place, whether it's

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: government mandates or whether it's your employer trying to force

93
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: you to make healthcare decisions, I think that's absolutely wrong.

94
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: I think the mandates you're seeing from Democrats are they're

95
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: not based on science. They're an abuse of power, and

96
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: I think we ought to respect people's individual liberty while

97
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: at the same time continuing to take serious steps to

98
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: defeat the pandemic. So also, the situation in Afghanistan seems

99
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: to be well, we know it's precarious. There were some

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: concerning reports about some gunfire a gunman out at the airport,

101
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: bid administration. We know it's a catastrophe. Senator Cruise. We've

102
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: talked about that plenty here. We know the withdrawal plan

103
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: looks like they came up with it in a matter

104
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: of minutes and didn't bring in any actual foresight or expertise.

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: It's just a disaster. What do you expect to happen here?

106
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: And what do you want the Biden administration to do

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: about what's playing out right now at Kabbal International Airport? Well,

108
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: what they need to do. Number one, the first priority

109
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: has to be evacuating the Americans and getting the Americans

110
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: who are in Afghanistan out safely. It is clear they

111
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: had no plan to do so, and it is collapsed

112
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: around them. That has urgency. I would say simultaneous with that,

113
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: they need to have a plan to move the Afghans

114
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: who assisted the US military. There were thousands of Afghans

115
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: who risk their lives to be translators to assist the military,

116
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: and we made promises to them. We need to honor

117
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: those promises, and so those Afghans need to be evacuated

118
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: as well. Now. At the same time, we have an

119
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: obligation to protect national security at home, and so any

120
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Afghans that are being evacuated need to be thoroughly and

121
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: completely vetted before they are allowed to come to the

122
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: United States. The Biden administration is bringing tens of thousands

123
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: in as refugees right now without thoroughly vetting them, without

124
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: accurate background checks. I don't think that makes sense. I

125
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: think they ought to be moved to a neutral third

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: country where they're safe, where the Taliban can't extract reprisals,

127
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: can't murder them, and before anyone comes, we need to

128
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: have very careful and thorough vetting to ensure we're keeping

129
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: Americans safe back here at home. Senator Cruz, I want

130
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: to circle back around a little bit on the budget.

131
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: I know we talked about this sum while we were

132
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: playing poker over the weekend, but it seems that that

133
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: has kind of slid under the radar now with all

134
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: of the attention on Afghanistan, with all of the attention

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: on COVID, and a lot of people are not recognizing

136
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: exactly how radical this Bernie Sanders budget is. How do

137
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: you see this playing out in the weeks and months ahead.

138
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Is it a three point five trillion dollar bill? Do

139
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: you think Kristen Cinema or Joe Manchion are going to

140
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: be willing to stand up to their own party. What

141
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: is the political calculus as you see it of this bill. Well,

142
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm very, very worried about it. It is massive. It

143
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: came in initially at three point five trillion, it's already

144
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: been up to four point two trillion. It's liable to

145
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: go up from there. It is spending on every left

146
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: wing special interest, every left wing priority, and it is

147
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: encompanied by trillions of dollars of new taxes. Every tax

148
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: you can think of the Democrats want to raise, whether

149
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: that is individual taxes and family taxes, whether that's small businesses,

150
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: or the corporate tax, whether that is the death tax

151
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: or capital gains tax. They are looking to raise taxes

152
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: by trillions of dollars. It is it is the Bernie

153
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Sanders budget, and you know it's striking. Joe Biden spent

154
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the last year campaigning as a moderate, reasonable centrist, and

155
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: now the Democrats are trying to pass Bernie Sanders socialist budget.

156
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: It is radical, it's extreme. We need to fight it.

157
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: We need to fight it hard in the Senate. We

158
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: need to pick up one Democrat. That's not going to

159
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: be easy. You mentioned the two who are most likely

160
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: Joe Manchin or Kirsten Cinema. I am not terribly optimistic

161
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: we will succeed in picking either of them off, but

162
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: I think we need to try hard. I think we

163
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: have better prospects for success in the House. There are

164
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: a number of House Democrats elected in districts where Donald

165
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Trump won those districts, and I think every one of

166
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: those Democrats in Trump districts they're nervous, they're looking over

167
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: their shoulders, and we just need to pick off a

168
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: few of those House Democrats to defeat Bernie Sanders budget.

169
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: But we need we need their constituents lighting up the

170
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: phone and telling them, Hey, if you're going to come

171
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: back to the district and pretend to be immoderate and

172
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: claim to be a centrist, don't go to Washington and

173
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: vote for Bernie's budget, don't bankrupt the country, don't crush

174
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: families and small businesses with massive taxes, and all of

175
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: this fight it is going to be with live ammo

176
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: starting early next month in September. Senator Cruz Buck again

177
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: just wanted to ask you about the border before we

178
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: let you get back to the business of the Senate.

179
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: It's the worst it's been in twenty plus years. I've

180
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: talked to border patrol and ice folks who will say

181
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: it's in some ways worse than ever because it's pretty

182
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: much the policy of the Biden administration that it be

183
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: what it is. This isn't like it's not working as planned.

184
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: It is in a sense working as planned because they

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: want an open border. Is there anything that's going to

186
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: happen that's going to change this? And do you think

187
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: that at least it is likely there'll be an electoral

188
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: backlash when the time comes from the American people because

189
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: of the open border the Biden administration has put into place. Well,

190
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: the border is an absolute disaster. We've had over one

191
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: million people cross illegally just in the last six months.

192
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: We're on pace for over two million people. It's the

193
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: worst rate of illegal immigration in twenty one years. Texas

194
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: in particular is paying the price, but the entire country

195
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: is paying the price. Yes, I think there's going to

196
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: be an electoral backlash, and buck you know that there's

197
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: a real similarity, I believe between the disaster that's unfolding

198
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: on our southern border because of Joe Biden's mistakes and

199
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: the disaster that's unfolding in Afghanistan because of Joe Biden's mistakes.

200
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: In both instances, the disasters are driven by number one,

201
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: radical ideology and number two absolute incompetence, and that is

202
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: a very dangerous mix. It is reminiscent of Jimmy Carter

203
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventy the radical ideology on the border.

204
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have handed border policy over

205
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: to the radical left that believes in open borders. That's

206
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: produced the chaos we're seeing on Afghanistan. Joe Biden and

207
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris are listening to the radical left. They believe

208
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: the Taliban are our friends. You know, just this weekend,

209
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: I was on a conference call with the Secretary of State,

210
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: with the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the

211
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs of Staff, and they were talking about all

212
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: the steps they believed that the Taliban need to take

213
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: to be welcomed into the international Community of Nations. And

214
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: it was such utter and complete nonsense, because these are

215
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: terrorists who want to murder people. They don't want to

216
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: be welcomed into the quote international community of Nations. And

217
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: the Biden team on Afghanistan are naive idealogues that you

218
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: might find a university faculty lounge rather than clear eyed

219
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: leaders who can keep this country safe. But you take

220
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: that radical ideology and you marry it with incompetence, and

221
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: you produce the kinds of catastrophes we're seeing, whether it

222
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: is the failure to do anything to secure our southern

223
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: border or in Afghanistan, having no plan to evacuate Americans,

224
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: no plan to vet Afghan translators. And I'll tell you,

225
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: a gentleman, the most indefensible decision that Biden Harris made

226
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan was giving away the Bogram Airbase. Bogram is

227
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: a secure facility. We've invested over a billion dollars in Bogram.

228
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: I've been there. It's safe, secure, We could safely evacuate

229
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Americans and our allies from that base. What did Joe

230
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: Biden Kamala Harris do. They just gave it away a

231
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: month ago. American soldiers disappeared in the middle of the night.

232
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: They told nobody, So the Afghans woke up, looked around

233
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: and said, hey, wait, where are the Americans. And now,

234
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: of course the Taliban has taken over Bogram Airbase. They've

235
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: taken over the military hardware we have there, and this

236
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: crisis in Afghanistan would be much easier to solve if

237
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: we still had the airbase that we built, that we secured,

238
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: and that Joe Biden's incompetence gave as a gift wrapped

239
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: up for the Taliban. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Senator,

240
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: always appreciate you joining us, and we'll talk to you soon.

241
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, gentlemen, God blessed. Thank you. Clay. Let's come

242
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: back in and talk a bit about where we are

243
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: with Afghanistan right now. The Biden administration clearly still just flailing,

244
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: and public approval of public opinion polls showing it's not

245
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: going well for them. We'll get into that in just

246
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: a moment. One man is on a mission to honor

247
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: the nine eleven fallen men and women and their families.

248
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: Frank Siller, from the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, is walking

249
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: more than five hundred miles through six states and forty

250
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: two days to remind us all of the selfless acts

251
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: of the men and women who helped others without hesitation.

252
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: Frank laid a wreath at the Pentagon and started towards

253
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Shanksville along the route He's joined by nine eleven families, veterans,

254
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: first responders, and the Foundations program recipients. Parades are planned

255
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: in several cities to honor the fallen and the country

256
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: and the community's local heroes. Then, in the morning of

257
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,239
Speaker 1: nine eleven, play Frank retraces his baby brother Stevens footsteps

258
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: twenty years later. Yeah, it's gonna be an emotional moment

259
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: for many people, especially for Frank because his brother was

260
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: one of the three hundred and forty three members of

261
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: the fire Department of the City of New York who

262
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: died that day. Two nine hundred and seventy seven people killed,

263
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: so many more have died from nine eleven related illness.

264
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Is September twelfth, the Foundation is reading their names out loud.

265
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Help America keep its promise to never forget honor heroes

266
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: by donating eleven dollars a month at t twot dot org.

267
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: That's t twot dot org. At the end of the day,

268
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: if we didn't leave Afghanistan, now, when do we leave?

269
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: Another ten years, another five years, another year. I'm not

270
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: about to send your son or your daughter to fight

271
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. I don't see where that is in our

272
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: over Roman interest and to talk about how our interests

273
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: are going to be impacted. Let me tell you, you're

274
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: sitting in Beijing and you're sitting in Moscow? Are you

275
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: happy we left? They love nothing better? Trust to continue

276
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: to be bogged down there, totally occupied. That's what's going on.

277
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: So the idea this is, I think that history is

278
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: going to record this was the logical, rational right decision

279
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: to make Welcome back the Click Traffison buck Sexton show.

280
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: There he had Joe Biden with the usual idiotic analysis

281
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: of foreign policy you could generally expect from this guy

282
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: for the last forty years or so. Oh yeah, sure.

283
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: China is really upset about the humiliation of the Biden

284
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: administration and the catastrophe of the Biden withdrawal plan, because wait,

285
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: they're going to do what now? China is going to

286
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: have a relationship clay with the Taliban. They're going to

287
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: continue to push their Belt and Road initiative, get access

288
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: to resources. They don't care about human rights, obviously, they

289
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: don't care about women's education. But Biden is wrong play.

290
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: It's almost amazing, It's almost impressive how consistently and obviously

291
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: bad his analysis of the world is every time he

292
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: has an important choice to make, he makes the wrong choice,

293
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: and he keeps, as you have pointed out and if

294
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: we have been pointing out on the show, he keeps

295
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: shifting every discussion about whether or not the issues in

296
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: Afghanistan are a boondoggle as they are right, it's a

297
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: total mess, But he keeps taking the opportunity to shift

298
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: the argument to should we or should we not have

299
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: left Afghanistan as opposed to taking responsibility for the disaster

300
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: that is on the ground right now. And that failure,

301
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: that unwillingness to assess the real situation is unfortunately being

302
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: allowed to govern the day very often in the world

303
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: of media. As we speak right now, we got a

304
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: ton to get to when we come back on the

305
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: second half of this second hour Monday edition. But I

306
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: want to tell you right now, if you're with Att,

307
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: Verizon or Tvo, well you're paying more than you need

308
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: to be for your self service. Pure Talk exact same network,

309
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: using the exact same towers as one of those big carriers,

310
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: but for much much less every month. In fact, pure

311
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: Talk can save the average family over eight hundred dollars

312
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: a year. Switching is easy. You can keep your phone

313
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: and your number. You can save on brand new iPhones

314
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: and androids. My own son, thirteen year old, he's in

315
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: eighth grade. He got his first ever phone. He got

316
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: an iPhone twelve and he's taking advantage of this. Pure

319
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: you worry about this, you don't want to go over.

320
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: They don't charge you for it if you go over

321
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: on data. How do you get hooked up from your

322
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: cell phone? Dial pound two fifty and say pure Talk.

323

326
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, Monday edition. All

327
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us across the country, wherever

328
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: you may be. You want to mention this, by the way,

329
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: devastating flooding in just outside of the Nashville area where

330
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: I live a little bit west. Over twenty people have

331
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: died in the Waverley, Tennessee area, one of the most

332
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: devastating floods that has occurred in America in a very

333
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: very long time. Want to, by the way, get the

334
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: best possible code there basically to allow you guys to

335
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: help donate. I will do that tomorrow, but I know

336
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: we have a lot of listeners in that area and

337
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: we want to let you know that we are thinking

338
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: about you. As that flash flood, I think almost eighteen

339
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: inches of rain hit in the space of twenty four hours,

340
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: which is frankly unheard of, and so that was a

341
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: devastating issue that happened over the weekend. But we want

342
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: to continue to follow this story. The amount of pressure

343
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: that is content inuing to be ratcheted up on anyone

344
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: who is fighting back against the idea of masks in schools. Buck,

345
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: I know you agree with me here. This is right

346
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: now the battleground because it's not just about masks on schools.

347
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: It's about trying to compel masks everywhere basically for as

348
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: long into the future as you can imagine. And some

349
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: of the arguments, many of the arguments that are being

350
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: made are just flat out lies. And this is what's

351
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: so frustrating about this. I want to play cut eighteen here.

352
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: Surgeon General Vivic Murthy was asked by Chris Wallace on

353
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: Fox News about parents and being able to make their

354
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: own choice as to whether or not their kids should

355
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: wear masks and murthy flat out wide. I want you

356
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: to listen to this. This is significant, well, Chris. We

357
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: know that the greatest protection to children is when all

358
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: people are mask in school and their decisions. We may

359
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: call the time where we require people to do things

360
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: for the better good. We have a list of childhood vaccines.

361
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: For example, their parents have to make sure their kids

362
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: have before they start school. This is just one more

363
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: example of that this step we take to protect all kids.

364
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: And there's a step I think that's relatively low cost

365
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: that is especially important to take during this pandemic. It

366
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: just doesn't work. It's a lot of this is. At

367
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: some point we're just gonna have to look at people

368
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: and say, I'm sorry that you're having some long standing

369
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: and chronic emotional breakdown over the existence of a virus

370
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: that is out there that everyone is now who's paying

371
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: attention and honest saying, is endemic. It's here forever and

372
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: never going away. At some point we have to look

373
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: at them and say, I'm sorry that you have an

374
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: emotional anxiety disorder as a result of COVID. That is

375
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: a COVID disorder. Really, But we can't do this. We

376
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: can't continue to all live with this anxiety imposed upon

377
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: all of us because some people can't handle it. I mean, Clay.

378
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: The question that I want to ask at this point is,

379
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: so we've just now accepted we never go back to normal.

380
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: It's actually the Remember how we accepted debates about how

381
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: soon we get back to fifteen days to stop the spread? Yeah,

382
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: now we're at the There is no such thing as

383
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: life before COVID. If these lunatics get their way, you're

384
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna be masking and getting shots and looking at social

385
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: distancing signs. By the way, I talked about the article

386
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: and the fluid fluid dynamics. With the dynamics of fluids,

387
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. People, different people have different expertise. What

388
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: can I tell you? But the point here is that

389
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: they also said that aerosol particles. The six feet thing

390
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: is a joke, The six thing is absurd. They just

391
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: were like, this is totally made up. I got an

392
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: idea here. Let's let's say that six feet is safer.

393
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: Why not ten feet? Why not a hundred feet? Right?

394
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: You start to you start to break this down because

395
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: the aerosol particles go at least twenty feet. Are you

396
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: suggesting that Fauci just made something up? I think so.

397
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: I love that, you know, our buddy Alex Berenson shared

398
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: out a an older photo of Fauci kind of standing

399
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: next to Cheryl Crowe at some kind of you gotta

400
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: see this. He's like he has always been into the

401
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: fame and it's true. And the people. Do you see

402
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: the Chuck Schumer what is it, the dancing dancing with

403
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: NC or the DCCC or whatever the hell, you know,

404
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: the Democrat National Congressional Committee at some party, and he

405
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: got you know, you got Colbert. You got these people

406
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: all doing their little dance dancing around everything. They're not

407
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: worried about COVID and Nancy Pelosi. Did you see her

408
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: reported fundraiser where nobody had masks on except for the

409
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: minorities who were serving the rich white people. Did you

410
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: see that video? Oh? Yeah, I saw the video. Yeah.

411
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: And this is, by the way, this is what I've

412
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: seen now in a lot of buildings in New York

413
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: City where you have people who are the like delivery people,

414
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: see guys who are there to you know, fix somebody's

415
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: air condition or whatever. They're very strict on those people.

416
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, if you're riding a bicycle delivering food, you

417
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: better have a best mask off. But residents, you know,

418
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: residents are are are sophisticated in their anti spreading efforts,

419
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: a sophisticated crowd, sophisticated intelligence. This is I don't know

420
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: what it's going to take, but I hope that these

421
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: poles Clay aren't true. That's say that you know sixty

422
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: percent of sorry, forty percent of Republicans support masking in schools,

423
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: that that should be zero. It should be because they

424
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: should know that Democrats and people on the other side

425
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: have made this entirely political and it's no longer about

426
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: protecting kids. They should know that, I am We're gonna

427
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: have no patience with those folks. Yeah, I agree. And

428
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: if they don't know that, by the way, you out

429
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: there in our audience should be saying, hey, go listen

430
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: to Buck and Clay. They're gonna share the data with you,

431
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: which is rational and real. And by the way, even

432
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: in New York Magazine, which is a super left wing publication,

433
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: there was an article pointing out that there had been

434
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: a study of ninety thousand school kids in Georgia. Right,

435
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: this is the thing about mask in schools, and nobody

436
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: can point to anything buck that proves that mask in

437
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: schools make kids safer at all, because there hasn't been

438
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: a study. In fact, that study of ninety thousand school

439
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: kids in Georgia arguably pretty clearly laid forward that there

440
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: is no reason for kids to be wearing masks. And

441
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to hit you with this. Did you see

442
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: this tweet over the weekend? This guy named Jason Wilson.

443
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know who he is. He's a typical blue check,

444
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: but he tweeted, I want you to listen to this.

445
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: It's a perfect It's like mad libs Corona bro styling.

446
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: Here here's what he tweeted. Friends have their kids in Scouts.

447
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: We go to the meet and greet and I crap

448
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: you not the pack mother didn't wear a mask the

449
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: whole time. I got so anxious that I had to leave.

450
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: These are the kinds of people who are driving American policy.

451
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: People who go to the other people's kids Scout meetings

452
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: and are terrified when a mom there isn't wearing a mask.

453
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: So when I came back from Nashville to New York.

454
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: I flew one of my favorite airlines, Spirit Airlines. Of course, Hey,

455
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they were finally back up and run

456
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: and running. And I saw that what they do is

457
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: they do the and this is this is apparently policy,

458
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: because I've seen it on multiple flights, Clay. They will

459
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: tell everybody, this is now in an enclosed space. Okay,

460
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: they will tell we all know what an airplane is like.

461
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: They'll say you better mask up or else we will

462
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: actually have security come and physically remove you from this

463
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: flight and ban you from the flight forever. They'll say

464
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: that with their masks pulled down. And this is what

465
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: you see now there there's a whole class of lib

466
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: There are leftists in this country that the Democrat apparatus

467
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: all buys into. If the scout master Clay speaks to

468
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: everybody without a mask on, she's a wreck liss mass

469
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: murderer who probably voted for Donald Trump. If the airline attendant, though,

470
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: because it's policy, pulls down his or her mask and

471
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 1: a flight attendant and speaks for five minutes to everybody

472
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: then closed space with a mask on, oh that's not dangerous,

473
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: because they say so this is how stupid the Libs

474
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: have become in the age of COVID's. I've never seen that.

475
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: It's like people who actually believe that Trump was working

476
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: with Putin, and you know there was like hacking and

477
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: the machines and the whole thing, and Trump saw the

478
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election. Didn't matter what you showed them, didn't

479
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: matter the fact they had no evidence. They were dug

480
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: in on it. They're dug in on this. I love

481
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: flying at the airport, so I was out in Vegas

482
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: this weekend. In the Nashville Airport, they have several different

483
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: restaurants which have like a bar that looks out into

484
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: the main concourse. In other words, you sit on like

485
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: a stool and you look out and you're facing out

486
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: and you could reach out if you wanted to and

487
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: touch people as they are walking by. Those people all

488
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: take their masks off, right literally sitting facing and speaking

489
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: directly in towards the terminal. That's totally acceptable. Because they

490
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: got a beer in front of them or because they're

491
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: eating something, they can literally touch somebody. But if you

492
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: have your mask off in the concourse, unacceptable, Like your

493
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: brain has to be broken to believe that this is

494
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: in any way a legitimate way to fight COVID. We

495
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: we have an experiment and we'll come back and I

496
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: want to tell folks about some of the fun stuff

497
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: from the wedding, but also some of the wedding COVID

498
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: situation from over them. Yeah, my little brother's married, Yay, congratulations.

499
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: Where'd they go on the BA on the honeymoon? Munch

500
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: of the South Pacific? Oh that doesn't bunch little islands?

501
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but uh, the realities of COVID in

502
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: New York City and how it's going to spread across

503
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: the country. You know, they've just manned it. Play one

504
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand teachers and everyone works at school

505
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: system here. Vaccinate or fired, and this you're gonna see

506
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: this in more and more. Vaccinate or you're fired. That's

507
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: what this is going to turn into. We'll come back

508
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: into into that in just a month plus. We got

509
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: that writer from New York Magazine. Yeah, we're gonna see

510
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: whether he's excited to be on with us plays. They

511
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: wanted to have a Democrat on. We're gonna have a

512
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: article that said, masks don't make sense. If we got

513
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: to get more people who write these pieces, We'll see

514
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,959

Speaker 1: needs to have at least one dose by September twenty seven.

539
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Clay Travison Buck Sexton show. You heard there.

540
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: The worst mayor in America. Clay. You know people fight

541
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: me on that one. I will That is a hill

542
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: I will die on. De Blasio is the worst mayor

543
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: in America. You can bring me the mayor of Portland,

544
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: and I respect that Ted Wheeler is horrible at his

545
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: job in a way that's laughable, absurd, and honestly kind

546
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: of tragic for the people who live there. That Lori

547
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: Lightfoot is an awful mayor. You know there are a

548
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: bunch of mayors that are close. Bill Deblasio is the

549
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: worst mayor in America. He is. He is single handily

550
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: responsible for the near destruction of my beloved hometown and

551
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: city here in New York. But you know, he's doing

552
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: it through the school system now and for people and

553
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: for anybody listening right now, say in in Houston. Right,

554
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: let's take a place that's in one of our safe states,

555
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: so to speak, Florida. You know, these are the safety

556
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: tree states. Although those although many of those cities are

557
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: actually fighting against the Blasque freedom. That's that's what I

558
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: want to get to. I mean, even if you're in

559
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: Florida and you're in Texas, the cities are now challenging

560
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: state authority. Whereas before when you know, when it was

561
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: New York and New Jersey saying lockdown, shut up, you know,

562
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: there was no challenging anything. It was, oh, the state

563
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: has quarantine powers. But Clay even beyond that, the federal

564
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: government which has tremendous sway over the hospital system because

565
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: of the way you know, Medicare and Medicaid payments are done,

566
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: and the federal government is pushing private businesses. Hospitals across

567
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: Houston are some of them already have it. They're they're

568
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: looking at vaccine mandates, and yes, the private sector doing it. Yeah,

569
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: And I think again the big picture here is the

570
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: what the Biden has Biden administration is failing on everything.

571
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: But one of the areas that they are failing on

572
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: the most is what they are selling versus what they

573
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: are delivering as it pertains to COVID. Right, because as

574
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: recently as may Buck, what was their pitch, Get the

575
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine and you'll never have to wear a mask again,

576
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: and you won't have to worry about getting COVID. And

577
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: COVID is gonna go away, and we're gonna get down

578
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: to COVID zero. And there are a lot of businesses

579
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of different entities out there

580
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: that bought into that goal. And what we're seeing, especially

581
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: out of Israel, which is way ahead of us when

582
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: it comes to vaccinations, is the COVID vaccine is not

583
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: going to be this magic pill, this panacea that suddenly

584
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: eradicates COVID forever. In fact, Israel is about to set

585
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: an all time high for infections. And I'm afraid that

586
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: the United States is going to do the same thing

587
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: and the next month or so and it's gonna move, Buck,

588
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna move from Florida and Texas to all these

589
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: other states that have been wagging their fingers, all these

590
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: other places, the Michigans of the world that have been saying, oh,

591
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: everything's perfect here, you Neanderthals in those states. That's not

592
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: what the data is going to reflect. They're gonna have

593
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: massive outbreaks there too. I think that's what the data shows.

594
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: You know. There's also the Democrats who are just telling

595
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: you what the plan is now. So today we had

596
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: the FDA authorizing officially are proving officially the Fiser vaccine.

597
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: And there's something I think there's some new name that

598
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: I should look up what it is, some new name

599
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: they want you to call the Fiser vaccine, you know,

600
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: the sort of uh, he's not the one you got five,

601
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: I got Johnson and Johnson, which one show. It was

602
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: referred to by a friend at the wedding this weekend

603
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: who also had to get the shot just to be

604
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: able to go to the wedding and also everything. And

605
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: you can't go anywhere in New York right now without this.

606
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: You can't go anywhere checking really at bars, like if

607
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: you go out, I mean, you have the show, it's

608
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: probably fifty fifty, but I mean, how often do you

609
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: want to play that game when you have a business

610
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: meeting or whatever. It's fifty fifty. If they're going to

611
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: actually check in any place. But a friend of mine

612
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: referred to uh, Johnson and Johnson as the Spirit Airlines

613
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: of vaccine, which I thought it was kind of accurate.

614
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: You know. It's just it's like a little bit less,

615
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: has a little little cheaper and uh. But you know

616
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't actually work for you, it doesn't actually get

617
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: it done. That's a whole other question. But do you

618
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: want to do one? Yeah, you only have to do

619
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: it one. Yeah, just like Spirit Airlines, you only want

620
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: to do it once. But here you Spirit was all

621
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: set up Buck before today's show to be the presenting

622
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: sponsor of the Clay and Buck Show. I'll bring them

623
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: back into the fold. What can I say, I'm a

624
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: Delta Airlines not variant guy. Here you go, Bill the

625
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: Blasio telling you they're going to have more mandates coming. Thrilled.

626
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: The FDA has announced today the full approval of the

627
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: Fiser vaccine. This is a game changing moment. We've been

628
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: waiting for this for a long time to have the

629
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: full approval of vaccine. We now have it. This helps

630
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: us move forward and we're moving forward with our schools

631
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,959
Speaker 1: with this new vaccine mandate. More mandates coming. Clay they're

632
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: saying it out loud. Oh now the FDA approved it.

633
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: Shut up, peasants, show us your arm, get the shot.

634
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: And here's the big problem, Buck. The data reflects that

635
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: even if a hundred percent of us, if every single

636
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: adult in America were vaccinated, we're still going to have

637
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: a massive amount of COVID cases out there and it's

638
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: not going to go away. And I feel like Democrats

639
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: are selling to their sheep that COVID vaccines are the

640
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: key to COVID going away forever, and it's just not true.

641
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: In fact, natural immunity is probably the key. And it's

642
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: like nobody will even hardly talk about it in this country.

643
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: It's wild the sort of way that this information is

644
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: being spread and how artificial much of it is. What

645
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: does the actual data say about masks in schools? A

646
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: piece in Liberal New York magazine nervous about this? I

647
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: mean a clay. You know, you want to bring a

648
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: lip on air. We're gonna do it. Here we go,

649
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: We're gonna see how this goes. We'll let Clay introduce

650
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: our writer, who was a good piece. It's a great piece,

651
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: a good piece. We're gonna get into the actual data

652
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: on the science coming up. You're listening to Clay Travis

653
00:36:52,440 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton fund the EIB Network three
