1 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 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the second hour 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Thankfully, despite 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: the omicron, my voice is holding firm today and I 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: got my main man, Clay Travis here making sure the 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: tag team is in effect bringing you freedom and sanity 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: all across the nation. We're going to talk to you 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: about how the Democrats are doing a bit of well 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: virtue signing, but also a misdirection this week with the 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: day's long focus on the voting rights bill. They want 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: the John Lewis Voting Rights Bill, which is part of 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: a larger effort, and actually there's a much larger bill, 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: HR one, which would dramatically change the way elections are 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: done nationwide. It would federalize them and effectively ensure a 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: Democrat majority would be the reality of America for decades 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: to come if they were to get their way with 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: HR one. But I did want to take them home 18 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: at first, just to note something that I said. You know, Clay, 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about this yesterday. You can tell how effective 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: a conservative or Republican is. You can always tell is 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: this person on target? Do they know what's up? Are 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: they getting it done based on how ferocious the left 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: is in their hatred of that person? Right? So I 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: mean Donald Trump, for example, you knew that he was 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: a one man COMI wrecking ball because all he had 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: to do was just exist. I mean he would there 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: would be a photo of Trump and members of the 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: media would lose their minds and find some way to 29 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: talk about how it was indicative of the fascism that 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: was creeping across America because of Trump, young Kin came 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: into office and did what he said he was going 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: to do. In fact, here is Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears, 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: who is clearly on her way to becoming I think 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: a GOP superstar and household name and politics. Here she 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: is saying, we told Virginians we were going to do something, 36 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: and then guess what, Glenn young kid and this team 37 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: is coming in and they're doing a play five. Listen. 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: Our former president Barack Obama said, elections have consequences. We 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: told the parents, We told Virginians what we wanted to do, 40 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: what we were going to do, and they voted for us. 41 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: These are the good consequences that they're seeing. That imagine 42 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: politicians are going to fulfill those promises. We're going to 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: do that. So click. We just note that is absolutely 44 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: correct everything that Junkin came into office. Remember Biden ran 45 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: as the great uniter, as the guy that would pull 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: the country together, although really he ran as whatever the 47 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: media said he was going to be because he was 48 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: busy in the basement, hiding and staying out of public 49 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: eye for obvious reasons as we see now. But you 50 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: come into office, you do exactly what the voters said. 51 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: You are what you told the voters you're going to do. 52 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: And let me just say this, the WI media is 53 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: flipping out about Junkin already. I think this is in 54 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: a sense great press for him. I agree completely, and 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: it's also further dishonesty. I was on last night with 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: doctor Marty McCarry, who we've had on this show a 57 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: ton who is the new advisor for Glenn Yunkin in 58 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: the state of Virginia, and Marty McCarry has been on 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: our show and I'm so happy that the young Kin 60 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: administration has decided to bring him in. But what Marty 61 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: McCarry's done such a great job of He's in Johns Hopkins. 62 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: So he's just up the road there in Baltimore is 63 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: he has said kids need to be in school, and 64 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: the data reflects that kids are not in danger from COVID. 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: And we talked about this yesterday the Washington Post. Immediately 66 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: what did they say, Oh, he's downplayed the risks of 67 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: COVID to children. No, he hasn't downplayed it. He's just 68 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: shared the actual factual data as opposed to trying to 69 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: terrify parents everywhere that their kids are going to die 70 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: of go COVID. And that is classified as downplaying the 71 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: threat when in reality, you don't downplay anything. Right. This 72 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: is where a real public health officials, if they had 73 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: been doing their job, would have stood up just in 74 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: front of the data. Buck. Imagine how much different things 75 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: would be if the doctor Fauci's of the world and 76 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: the Rochelle Willlinski's, instead of constantly trying to tell us 77 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 1: what to do, if they had just gotten the old 78 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: school PowerPoint presentation put up on a screen. Hey, I 79 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: can't tell you every single person what's going to happen 80 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: when you get COVID, but here's what the data is. 81 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: You know what your age is, you know what your 82 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: health conditions are far better than I do. Here's what 83 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: the data reflects. Your risk is that would have been 84 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: so much better. That's what I want from my doctor. 85 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: Give me the odds, let me know the data, and 86 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: I will internally assess it as best I can. That's 87 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: what doctor Marty McCarry's done, and I think that's what 88 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: Glennyngkan is doing. He's a business guy. Ultimately, business guys 89 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: look at data and make decisions based on that data. 90 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's what Virginia's got, and that's why 91 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: we need more of these guys and girls who were 92 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: willing to do that. Well, Clay, I just want to 93 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: tell you Joy Reid is very upset about all of this, 94 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: so she disagrees with you. In fact, she refers to 95 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: and this is what I meant by in part by 96 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: the left, left wing freak out over Glenn Younkin coming 97 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: into office and doing things that I gotta say. I mean, 98 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: getting rid of CRT in schools, getting into the mask mandate, 99 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: getting rid of a state vaccine mandate for employees. I 100 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: don't think that's gotten enough attention. He's finally saying enough 101 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: is enough. And to the points we've been making about Junkin. 102 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: Say what you will about this guy, but you don't 103 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: get to be the CEO of the Carlisle Group when 104 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: you know it's not like Daddy made you the CEO 105 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: because he started the company. You don't get to be 106 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: the CEO of the Carlisle Group unless you're a pretty savvy, 107 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: savvy guy. Clearly, Junkin is a smart dude. Joy Reid 108 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: not like him, and in fact thinks that he will 109 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: turn Virginia into a COVID cesspool. Play for he was 110 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: just Trump with better addiction and a slightly paler shade 111 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: of orange. But once you open it up, it's all 112 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: the same stuff, anti truth, anti education, and one hundred 113 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: pro COVID. Now that Young Kant is officially in the 114 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: governor's mansion, Virginia is really in trouble, girl. But Youngcan's 115 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: biggest and most lethal project appears to be turning Virginia 116 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: into a Covidy cesspool like Florida. Even as Omicron is 117 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: smashing records in his state, Junkin is ending the statewide 118 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: school mass mandate. He's also rescinding the vaccine mandate for 119 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: state workers. The rich businessman with no political experience sounds 120 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: familiar is working to reverse all of the progress that 121 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: turned Virginia into one of the highest vaccinated states in 122 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: the country. I mean this honestly about joy Read Do 123 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: you think that she is actually as dumb as she sounds? 124 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: Or is she playing a role? In other words, has 125 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: she seen any of the data on masking? Has she 126 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: bothered in two years to read anything about masking? Has 127 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: she bothered in any way to understand that vaccination status 128 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: doesn't impact the spread of omicron hardly at all? That 129 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: Fiser's own CEO has said that does she see any 130 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: of this buck or is she in such an idiot 131 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: bubble that she isn't even aware of how dumb she 132 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: sounds for people who have even the barress sintilla of 133 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: knowledge of what the data say. I mean, I mean 134 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: this honestly. Every time I hear her, I think, is 135 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: she this dumb? Is she this wilfully ignorant of basic 136 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: facts like frankly Sonya Sada mayor was like Stephen Bryer 137 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court? Is this a willful blindness? Or 138 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: I just I don't understand how you can have this perspective. 139 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: Just just note you brought in soda Mayor. So I 140 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: just have to remind everybody that there's more oral arguments 141 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: going on before the Supreme Court this week, and Soda 142 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: Mayor will be joining via remote from her office because 143 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: Justice Gorsitch, who I gotta say, high five for the 144 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: Gorsitch I agree here on this is refusing to wear 145 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: a mask during oral ark So one Supreme Court justice 146 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,559 Speaker 1: is suffusing to wear a mask. And keep in mind, 147 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: they're wearing cloth masks as far as I understand it, 148 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: at least they were last time. That's that's what I 149 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: believe was reported. So they're not all sitting there an 150 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: end ninety fives. Even if they were in ND ninety fives. 151 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: The moment you pull it down to drink or do 152 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: anything you're gonna do, you no longer have any protection. 153 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: But let's just stick with the cloth mask for a second. 154 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: Soda Mayor is so terrified of COVID and so unwilling 155 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: to look at reality and the recent data that even 156 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats are accepting that she will not be in 157 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: the same room as a fellow Supreme Court justice who 158 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: does not mask during oral arguments. This is a mental 159 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: illness now of honestly pandemic proportions. Not only that these 160 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: every Supreme Court justice buck is double vaxed and boostered already, 161 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: so they have double vaxed and they have boostered. Sonia 162 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: Sadomayor is terrified of COVID. She's also implicitly acknowledging two things. One, 163 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: the vaccine doesn't work, right because if everybody was double 164 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: vaxed and also boosted, the fact that they're wearing masks 165 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: would not have actually made any impact at all. So 166 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: she's acknowledging the vaccines don't work. But she's not willing 167 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that the masks don't work either, so she 168 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: is buying into cosmetic theater. On the one hand, this 169 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: this goes to my point with joy Reid. On the 170 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: one hand, she's at least cognizant enough to know that 171 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: the vaccines don't provide protection from infection or the spread, 172 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: but she still is clinging to the idea that if 173 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: he just wore a cloth mask, she would be safe. 174 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: So I she's not able to figure out both of 175 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: those things, right. I mean, if the three shots that 176 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: she has had are not enough to make her not worry, 177 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: the addition of some other person having a cloth mask 178 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: on after he also has gotten those three shots, as 179 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: if that's going to be that's he that's her point. 180 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: That's I mean, it doesn't make any logical sense at all. 181 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: This would be a magical thinking. This would be like 182 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: she refuses to be in the room unless there's forget 183 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: six feet, she needs twelve feet of social distancing and 184 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: unless you do this, folks. So much of this is 185 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: also it's about neuroses, but it's also about power. I mean, 186 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: I always see this. There are people who often feel 187 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: powerless in their day to day lives and the opportunity 188 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: to feel like they're a good person who's virtuous, but 189 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: also powerful because they get to shout at you for 190 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: not wearing your mask or for not social distancing. I remember, 191 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: like a bunch of lemmings, we were all told to 192 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: line up outside of grocery stores six feet apart in 193 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: New York City. I've not forgotten this. This was lunacy 194 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: that we were at because Clay. Then we go inside 195 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: the grocery store shoulder to shoulder fighting over who got 196 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: the last box of you know, cracker jacks or whatever. 197 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: But outside in the freezing cold, we had to be 198 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: six feet apart, like morons because people can't think for themselves. 199 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: Can I just ask? Because I want to make sure 200 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: I heard this right? Play that Joy read clip again. 201 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: I just I'm gonna cut it off. I just want 202 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: to hear the beginning of it played again for a second. 203 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: He was just Trump with better addiction and a slightly 204 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: paler shade of orange. Okay, okay, stop stop stop that's 205 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: what so now Glenn Junkin is orange? I mean, this 206 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: is this is bizarre, all right. I mean, you know 207 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: Trump is fond of tanning. They shouldn't call him orange, 208 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: but people were saying orange man bad all the time? 209 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: What is that, Clay? I mean, it's just so petty 210 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: and childish. Also again the question I think, didn't I 211 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: just don't understand how you can be this dumb and 212 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: willfully ignorant of the facts. Based on where we are now. 213 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: You can make arguments against Glenn Junkin which are substantive, right, 214 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: if you want to have a critique of Glenn Junkin, 215 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: It's possible to do that, But to do it as 216 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: stupidly and as easily refutably easy to refute as everything 217 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: she said there, I really legitimately question how you can 218 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: be that dumb. I mean the same thing with like 219 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: these view women and everything else in the media. How 220 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: is it I have some expertise here in the level 221 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: of live stupidity, because while you have the great honor 222 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: of having been banned from CNN, yes, I for a 223 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: short period was a paid contractor at CNN, and the 224 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: levels of stupid inside that news organization, on and off 225 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: camera would blow the average Americans' minds. The level of 226 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: the lack of intellectual curiosity, the lack of intellectual honesty, 227 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: whatever you think it is, I'm just telling everybody out there, 228 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: it's worse.

Right. You could say 258 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: the guy in California who was paddleboarding legitimately in the 259 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: ocean with no one else around him when they decided 260 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: they had to arrest him because the beaches were shut down. 261 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: You could say, taking the rims off of basketball hoops, 262 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: which was crazy, filling in skateparks with sand, as they 263 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: did in California, the stupid circles that you guys had 264 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: in New York City parks. But for me, as a 265 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: parent of young children, the idea that they shut down 266 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: parks and then also even inside of the parks, they 267 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: put crime scene tape around the playgrounds to prevent any 268 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: parent from taking their child. In the middle of March, 269 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: in April and May of twenty twenty and on into 270 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: a longer period than that, you got to a playground 271 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: and it was covered in crime scene tape so you 272 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: could protect your children who were under no risk from COVID, 273 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: from getting COVID from objects which we know is not 274 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: actually a threat outdoors. That was to me, the single 275 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: dumbest thing that we did. You those are those are 276 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: great ones, Those those are those are some of the 277 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: some of the greatest hits. I'll say it right now. 278 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: I certainly Fauci and the wipe down your groceries with lysol. 279 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: And there were even news stories, Oh my gosh, products 280 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: from China. You know that that baby rattle you bought 281 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: on Amazon may have COVID on it from China. There 282 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: was all this crazy stuff that was happening the days. 283 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: For me, the most indefensible and inexplicable would have to 284 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: be the creation of physical of like these limited physical 285 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: boundaries between people, i e. The plexiglass divider phenomenon, as 286 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: if arasoliyed virus in a super fine mist in the 287 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: air is going to respect the you know, twenty four 288 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: inch high plexi glass thing you put in front of 289 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: your desk and you are safe. Now. People adopted because 290 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: remember the one of the core you know, first rule 291 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: of fight club has never talked about fight club. First 292 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: rule of faucism is never questioned faucism. But second rule 293 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: of faucism is there's nothing that's too stupid if we 294 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: tell you to do it, you know. So in the 295 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: very early stage of this, I remember thinking to myself, 296 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: this will be one of those things that people do 297 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: and then realize clay with the plexi glass dividers, Oh 298 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: my gosh, we've gone too far. They brought them back recently. 299 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 1: They're back again, even though the actual science on it 300 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: shows it limits natural airflow, which is likely to create 301 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: pockets of concentrated virus in an indoor environment. Well done, everybody, 302 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: Your plexiglass dividers probably made the COVID worse. I can't 303 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: wait for all of the people who think that they 304 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: are the smartest as the years tick by into the 305 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: future and people will go back and re examine all 306 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: of this. People are going to pretend that they never 307 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: bought in. Just wait. That's what we're already starting to 308 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: see a little bit of this now. Oh I was 309 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: never one of those people who said school should shut down. 310 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: It's like, how quickly everybody bailed on defund the police. 311 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: That's how quickly people are going to bail on the 312 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: absurdity of these stupid COVID regulations.

They good to be with you both. Thanks 337 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: for having me all right. First, you know, your group 338 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: goes to get the documents, sues to find out the truth. 339 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: It's one of the things that Judicial Watch does that's 340 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: so important for us to actually have transparency and government 341 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: to find out what's really going on. What can you 342 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: tell us, Tom about the current state of the defendants 343 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: were in some cases held in solitary confinements still from 344 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: the January sixth so called insurrection, the riot on January sixth, 345 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: and their treatment at the hands of a government that 346 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: of course is responsive to the bid administration in the 347 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: White House. Well, the first thing people should know is 348 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: that they're in a dcjail, which is run as one 349 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: might be, as one expects a dcjail might be run, 350 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: which is awfully, it's just terrible conditions by all reports. 351 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: The concerning thing is that they've some of them have 352 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: been in jail you know, for nearly a year now 353 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: or most over a year. And the question is are 354 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: they in jail because the public safeties at risk? Were 355 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: because there's a political statement being made either by the 356 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: Justice Department or the judges who have decided that this 357 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: is the worst thing that's ever happened in America crime wise. 358 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: And my concern is when you see statements they've made 359 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: that our First Amendment protected statements being used as an 360 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: excuse to try to keep them in jail longer or 361 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: punish them, you know, beyond perhaps what the law ought 362 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: to allow or warrant. That's concerning. And on top of that, 363 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: you see Congress it's kind of working hand in love 364 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: with the Justice Department in some ways, the Pelosi Rump Committee, 365 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: you know, suggesting that anyone who had objections about the 366 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: elections participated in First Amendment protected speech. Certainly that rally 367 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: January sixth was should be considered a terrorist or a 368 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: potential criminal. And so it's not just about the January 369 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: sixth defendants. The less considers any of us who object 370 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: to the way the election was run to be the 371 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: moral and legal equivalent in some ways of those men. 372 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: Now and jail Tom, I appreciate you coming on with 373 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: us and sharing that story. Do you know the total 374 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: number of these prisoners right now? We had a big 375 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: discussion about this with Julie Kelly, who I believe is 376 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: set to testify soon on Capitol Hill, and she told 377 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: us I think the number was eighty six, I believe, 378 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: or eighty three right around that number, and you kind 379 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: of hinted at this, And this is where I look 380 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: at it from the legal perspective. How many of these 381 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: defendants are now in jail longer than they might be 382 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: for the crime that they are going to be or 383 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: have been accused of. This is maybe the wildest part 384 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: about this. They deserve bail beyond a shadow of a doubt. 385 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: But when you're keeping people in a jail for longer 386 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: than they might actually go to jail if they're being 387 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: found to have been guilty of a crime, this is 388 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: beyond the pale. This is indefensible. Well, and when you 389 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: compare and contrast the handling and the prosecution of these 390 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: cases with the handling a prosecution of the writers in Portland, 391 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: for instance, or those who tried to burn down the 392 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: White House, you know, this is where people are concerned 393 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: about the even handed application of justice. You know, in fact, 394 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: a court made that point just recently. One of the 395 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: judges was pushed by one of the defendants to say, 396 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, to consider whether or not what was happening 397 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: was inappropriate in a light of what had happened in 398 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: Portland in terms of the under prosecution versus what many 399 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: are arguing or the over prosecution here, and that justice says, well, look, 400 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: you know you did what you did too bad, But 401 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: he did say at the end of the decision he 402 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: raised questions about the even handed application of justice here, 403 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: and the Justice Department needs to me, you know, really 404 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: take a look at this. We're speaking to Tom Fitting, 405 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: the president of Judicial Watch, and Tom wanted to know 406 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: you guys have filed a lawsuit over judicial watch UM 407 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: against HHS seeking Fauci's calendar entries at the start of 408 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: the pandemic. What are you what are you looking for there? 409 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: Or what? What? What spurred that on? No, we're just curious, 410 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: do you uh? First of all, that's a really good answer, 411 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: and hold your hold your powder so to the whites 412 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: of the eyes are visible. I appreciate that. Do you 413 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: Are you still stunned that we're two years in at 414 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: the kid gloves treatment that much of the media continues 415 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: to give doctor Fauci and Rachelle will Lyinsky and the 416 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: other and I'm quote using air quotes here experts given 417 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: how fundamentally all of their all of their expert advice 418 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: has led to such catastrophic failure in the COVID realm 419 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: that the Blue check Brigade, as I call them, is 420 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: still running around trying to defend every word that they say. Yeah, 421 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: you know, and one thing we all should see is 422 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: that these agencies, public health agencies AHHS and all the 423 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: agencies that worked there, you know, are underneath the FDA 424 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: and Fauci's agency in IH. They're just as bad as 425 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: the FBI, dj CIA. They're in a deep state, and 426 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: Fauci's been there forever in a day, and we began 427 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: asking questions to Fauci almost immediately, and Judicial Watch was 428 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: criticized for suing for information under Floya, and we uncovered 429 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: as a result of that lawsuit and lawsuits we had 430 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: filed things for media had an uncovered, which is the 431 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: gain of function research being confirmed, the fact that the 432 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: NIAID had a person living and working in China liaison 433 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: with Liais, hiring with Wuhan Institute, and also kind of 434 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: spying on them. And then we find then we had 435 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: to force out the financial disclosures last week. It took 436 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: a federal lawsuit and a senator to get the information out, 437 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: and of course the calendars go to to be serious, 438 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: What the heck was he doing back then? Who was 439 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: he meeting with? Who was he colluding with? It looks 440 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: like to suppress information about the concerns about the origin 441 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: of the wuhan virus. Tom, are you is Judicial Watch 442 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: already involved in or is there a chance you may 443 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: become involved in because I know you guys have a 444 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: lot of lawsuits going and a lot of issues you're 445 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: trying to get more information on. But exactly what happened 446 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: on January sixth from a Capital Hell police security perspective 447 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: and any orders or any decisions that were made. Are 448 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: you in process to try to get that information? What 449 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: can you tell us about it? Let me it could 450 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: be clear. Judicial Watch is doing the most substantial, comprehensive 451 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: investigation of January sixth going on right now, and that 452 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: includes investigating what Congress knew and when and those exact 453 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: types of questions you're asking. And what's interesting is that 454 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: Pelosi's gang is trying to put people in jail for 455 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: asserting privileges and they're coming into federal court asserting privileges 456 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: against Judicial Watch to prevent as much as one second 457 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: of the January sixth videos from getting out from documents 458 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: about what went on then from getting out and so 459 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: we've we were the ones who uncovered the details about 460 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: the awful shooting death of Ashley Babbitt, that that police 461 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: officer who shot her never cooperated, never cooperated with the police, 462 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: and they just let him off, both the DC Police 463 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: Justice Department and obviously Congress. And we uncovered that the 464 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: fads for since knew there'd be tens of thousands of 465 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: people at the Capitol on January sixth, and of course 466 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: the security wasn't there. And we're pushing hard on who 467 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 1: Pelosi was talking to with the administration as she was 468 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: trying to undermine Trump just after the election or excuse me, 469 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: just after January sixth with Millie. You know, pretty much 470 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: every question sensible citizens have about January sixth, Judicial Watch 471 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: is actually trying to pursue in court. And you know, 472 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't say that to promote Judicial Watch. I'm just 473 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: saying it to highlight the fact that this is the 474 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: supposedly the worst day in American history, and it looks 475 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: like we're the only ones in court trying to get 476 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: basic information about what went on, not pursuing this abusive 477 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: agenda from the Pelosi Rump Committee trying to jail people 478 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: who is only crime. It seems to be on the 479 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: wrong side of the political aisle.

Ah, I remember the days when late 503 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: night television was filled with laughs, whether you are a Republican, 504 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: whether you are a Democrat. They made fun of Bill 505 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: Clinton and George W. Bush, not so much Barack Obama, 506 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: but certainly a lot of Trump used to be. They 507 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: tried to make fun of both political parties, satirize their absurdity, 508 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: but then they turned into a cheerleading squad, and now 509 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: it's like just really uncomfortable propaganda would be the way 510 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: to describe, particularly the Stephen Colbert Show, which is just 511 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: I really legitimately questioned the intelligence of anybody who chooses 512 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: to spend their evening watching this show. But here is 513 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert. Remember when they had the dancing vaccine people Buck, 514 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: which would like it was uncomfortable government propag and masquerading 515 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: as an evening show. And now they're in this ridiculous 516 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: spot where Colbert tries to have takes on the current 517 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: existing political climate. But when you only take shots at 518 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: one side of the equation as a comedian, you're no 519 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: longer a real comedian. You're basically a government court gesture propagandist. 520 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: And that's what Stephen Colbert is. Listen to this clip. 521 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: If you can't get rid of the filibuster, what about 522 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: and just hear me out here and try to hear 523 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: this objectively. But if we just get rid of the Senate, 524 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: and I'm one hundred serious here, it is the most 525 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: anti democratic institution next to the judiciary, because the judiciary 526 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: is only the way it is, because the Senate is 527 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: the way it is. No one would drop a single tier. 528 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: You've already got tenure. You can go back to your 529 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: old job. You'll be fine. I don't understand what possible 530 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: positive purpose the United States Senate provides right now. I 531 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: think he's being more honest than he intends to Clay, 532 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: and that I believe he does not know why the 533 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: Senate exists. He is an ignoramus. He doesn't understand why 534 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: the Framers set up our system of government the way 535 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: that they do, and In fact, this is widespread all 536 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: across the so called liberal intelligentsia, whether in media or 537 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: even in politics. In fact, if you google something like 538 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: what does the Senate do? Or should the Senate exist, 539 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: you'll see think piece after think piece from Vox and 540 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: HuffPo and Politico about leftists essentially saying, well, why don't 541 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: we even have a Senate? It's a relic and we 542 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't have this thing. They also say that up at 543 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: the Constitution when it gets in the way, by the way, 544 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: you know, And it's just so funny to see that 545 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: they really do have the political temperament of spoiled children, 546 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: because what will happen is when, whether it's the filibuster 547 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: or the existence of the Senate itself, when the suplicants 548 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: are in a majority, all of a sudden, protecting minority 549 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: rights and opinion, and I mean that in a political sense, 550 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: is essential. It is the is the very bulwark of 551 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: our democracy, clay, you know. And then the moment that 552 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: Democrats think that they have a majority in the Senate 553 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: and they're not getting what they want all that they want, 554 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: it's this is antidemocratic. Let's tear the whole thing down. 555 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: They are really just in favor of mob rule. That's 556 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: what they would like to have. The rabble rousers on 557 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: the streets can get enough people angry enough on one 558 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: issue to dramatically change the polity that we all live in. 559 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: That's the preferred state that Democrats would like to go for, 560 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: and that's why they'll throw you know, under Trump, Clay, 561 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: it was all they're destroying our sacred institutions, and now 562 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, those institutions not so sacred when they 563 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: don't give us what we want. That's what immediately jumps 564 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: out to me is we heard from the Stephen Colberts 565 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: of the world that Trump was a dictator and that 566 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: if he didn't get what he wanted, he would do 567 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: away with the institutions that were not allowing him to 568 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: do as he wished. And then Stephen Colbert comes out 569 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: and he says, I'm not joking that he legitimately wants 570 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: to get rid of the Senate, not because they are 571 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: they are somehow a threat to democracy, but because they 572 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: aren't doing what he wants them to do at this 573 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: exact moment in time, which is exactly what a dictator 574 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: thinks and says. So you have all these people. And 575 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: I thought COVID was the perfect example of this because 576 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: we heard, oh, Donald Trump is a dictator, he's an authoritarian, 577 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: he will lead us into totalitarianism. And then COVID happened, 578 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: which was the greatest excuse in most of our lives 579 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: for someone to take as much power as they possibly could. 580 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: And what did Trump do. He deferred to mayors and 581 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: governors as opposed to taking all the power. And then 582 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: what has Joe Biden done? He came into all Eddie 583 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: immediately tried to pass a series of executive actions, whether 584 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: it's OSHA with the COVID vaccine mandate, whether it is 585 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: the CDC with the eviction moratorium, that the Supreme Court 586 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: had to slap him down and say, you aren't a dictator, 587 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: you can't do this. The Democrats were the ones who 588 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: were quick to embrace totalitarianism when given the opportunity as president. Yeah, 589 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: it's no surprise that Commis, Marxists and socialists become authoritarians. 590 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: That's what always happens, right, because there's always more inequality 591 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: to fight against that requires more power in the hands 592 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: of the people who see that inequality. So this is 593 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: always their political tendency. But I do think there's also 594 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: the obvious tendency. And thankfully, because of the Internet, we 595 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: can all go back and see this. This isn't theoretical. 596 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: You can watch the videos of Chuck Schumer giving impassioned 597 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: speeches in defense of the filibuster. You can watch in 598 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: years when the Republicans had a majority, the very same Democrats, 599 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: including Kamala Harris, who are now giving tier eyed Oh 600 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, democracy is under assault because we can't get 601 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: what we want through the Senate. It's a fifty fifty Senate, 602 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: for heaven's sakes, it is a razor edge majority. Think 603 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: about how obtuse their view is here, Clay. They think 604 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: that they should be in a position to dramatically transform 605 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: aspects of not just American governments, but American life. Well, 606 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: the fifty fifty Senate they think that's a mandate. We 607 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: are one Senate seat away from Republicans being in the majority, 608 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: and they're complaining about how the institutions aren't giving them 609 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: what they want. They are cry babies, and you can 610 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: see it, and in fact, they do cry a lot 611 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: about things. I will say this, Buck, I know we 612 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: were disappointed in the way that the Senate elections went 613 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: in Georgia because that's two that I believe the Republicans, 614 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: I think you would agree with me, should win most 615 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: of the time, at least one at least one of them. 616 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: But I wonder politically if the long range impact is 617 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: because Joe Biden has a majority in the Senate, he 618 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: can't run on Hey, the reason I was unable to 619 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: get anything done was because of the Republicans in the Senate. 620 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: He can still argue it, but I think most people 621 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: understand they have a majority. As a result, I think 622 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: it's weakened him in a massive way. And when we 623 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: come back, Buck, I got some data. I know the 624 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: joy reads and the doctor Fauci's and the Rochelle Willinski's 625 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: of the world hate data, but the NHL had almost 626 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: a hundred percent vaccine rate. Everybody in the entire league 627 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: got vaccinated. We have the numbers on how many of 628 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: them ended up testing with positive with COVID because they 629 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: test them all the time. And what those numbers show you, Buck, 630 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: and I think what our audience is going to hear, 631 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: if you haven't heard this already, is the fundamental failure 632 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: of the vaccine to in any way eliminate COVID. I 633 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: think it's gonna blow people's mind and also blows people's minds. 634 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: Are it should that Buck is not getting any at 635 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: home phone calls from doctor Fauci. Remember when he was 636 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: calling Chris Cuomo before he got fired for being a 637 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: dirt bag every night, Chris, it's Fouci, And I know 638 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: there's a pandemic, but I miss you and I hope 639 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: your own. Hey, Buddy, I don't get those phone calls. 640 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: You're listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the 641 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: EIB Network.
