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 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis buck

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: A lot to dive into throughout the course of today's program.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: At about an hour, we're gonna be joined by Alex Barnson.

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: I think you guys will enjoy that as we talk

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: about the latest COVID data. Today is the eightieth anniversary

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Buck and I will

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: discuss that a bit as we are both history nerds,

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: and it is an amazing and captivating story eighty years

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: to the day since that happened, almost eighty years to

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: the hour, I believe. As we as we move across

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: this show, we're also going to talk about a swimmer

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: that we touched on a little bit on Friday at

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: the University of Pennsylvania who, after three years swimming as

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: a man for the Ivy League team there at Pennsylvania,

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: has now decided to swim as a woman and over

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: the weekend won the five hundred race by nearly fifteen seconds,

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: which is an unbelievable story when it comes to really

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: the future of women's athletics. If biological men can just

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: decide to become women and compete against women. We'll talk

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: about that and more. But right off the top, some

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: good news. The omicron fear seems to be subsiding. I

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: like to look a lot of times to the stock market,

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: which is surging back to essentially where it was before,

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: and the idea that this was going to be some

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: sort of debilitating variant coming out of South Africa as

28
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: it spread around the world does not appear to be

29
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: holding up with much substance. There is a good story

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: that Buck and I will get into about exactly how

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: transmissible it is that one person could potentially give it

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: to one hundred and twenty people, and that all of

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: them would have mostly a mild version of COVID. We

34
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: will discuss potentially a mutation has actually worked in favor.

35
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: But right off the top here I want to have

36
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: a discussion with Buck about this. The data continues to

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: come in, and at this point I think is virtually

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: unassailable that if you are unvaccinated, you have virtually the

39
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: same risk of spreading COVID as someone who is vaccinated.

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this a lot after we

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: talked yesterday Buck to start all the new insane restrictions

42
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: that are being put in place in New York City.

43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: How is it that we aren't having a real discussion?

44
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: And I start off the show today because I know

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there listen to this show,

46
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: as Rush used to say, as show prep for much

47
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: of their own shows. How is it that we're not

48
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: having a discussion about the fact that at this point

49
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: in time, and frankly, for the last six months or so,

50
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: every one who is unvaccinated is making a calculated decision

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: to be unvaccinated. And now that we know, a lot

52
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: of the criticism of the unvaccinated has been, oh my goodness,

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna make me sicker, You're gonna get me sick,

54
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: because the vaccinated people haven't trusted their vaccines. But but

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: now that we know that when you get vaccinated, you

56
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: have a less severe case of COVID if you get

57
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: it from hospitalization or death related issues. But you're no

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: more likely necessarily to spread COVID than someone who has not.

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Why don't we just allow people to take their own

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: risk and move on and go to one normalcy in

61
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: this country? This is a mirror image of what we've

62
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: seen in the mask debate actually where it starts out

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: and when people have their questions about it. And remember

64
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the early days of masking. Even Fauci said an email,

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: we all know, we remember masks don't really do anything

66
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: to stop pandemic spread. And then when the Democrat Party

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: and the anti Trump momentum and every thing demanded masking

68
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: as a one and anxiety napkin for people, maybe it

69
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: does something. All these health professionals come forward, you say

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: it's great, and the health professionals you say, actually, we

71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: know that it doesn't really do very much, if anything.

72
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: Cloth mats we're talking about not at nenty five properly

73
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: fitted and worn one hundred percent of the time you're exposed.

74
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: That's a different thing. Fauci said that he lied to

75
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: protect supply. So Fauci is an admitted liar. Put that

76
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: aside for a second on a public policy issue, not

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: on what he had for breakfast issue. Beyond that, clay,

78
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: they told us in the summer of twenty twenty that

79
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: masking would probably reduce caseload by you know, sixty percent.

80
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: They led us to believe that the places that had

81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: mask mandates would see enormous and precipitous declines of caseload,

82
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: and it would be so clear, and all the stupid

83
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: mask questioners would look so so dumb. And then that

84
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: didn't happen, So then what do they do? Then all

85
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: of a sudden it changed from masking the CDC chief

86
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: red Field. Do you remember this guy, another bureaucrat, said masking.

87
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: This is what he said. He did have to walk

88
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: it back, but he said it to Congress. Masking might

89
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: even be a more effective tool at stopping the virus

90
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: than the vaccine, which was crazy. I mean, everyone who

91
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: heard that said, of this guy's out of it. He

92
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: did walk that back, but how could he say something

93
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: so dumb? What I'm getting to here is then it was, well,

94
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: maybe it does something, clay, and something is better than nothing.

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: Why don't you want to do something? Why don't you

96
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: want to protect grandparents? You must want grandparents to die.

97
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: This is what they did with masks, and it's now

98
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: what they're doing with vaccine mandates too. They dramatically move

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: the goalposts. They look at us like we're the crazy

100
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: ones who say, hold on, you were wrong, and you're

101
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: changing the game. You're change the rules once again. And

102
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: what their response is is anything that we can do

103
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: is valid and necessary, even if it saves you know

104
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: how they say about gun control, Clay, if it saves

105
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: just one life. We have now been reduced by fauciism

106
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: to millions of people who think if it stops just

107
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: one case, one time, maybe it's worth it. They have

108
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: completely lost all sense of proportion and risk analysis. That's

109
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: where we are. It is so well said. And remember

110
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, when he took office in January, to go

111
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: back to your masking point, said if everybody would just

112
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: wear masks for a hundred days, COVID would be over.

113
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: That's what Joe Biden said in January. It's almost a

114
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: year since Joe Biden took office, and that hasn't been

115
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: reflected at all in the data. But to me, this

116
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: is an important talking point that needs to be spread

117
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: far and wide. If you are choosing to be unvaccinated,

118
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: you are almost exclusively a risk to yourself. And I

119
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: haven't heard hardly anyone making this argument, and I think

120
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: it's a good one for people out there listening to

121
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: us right now. Look again, I want to reiterate because

122
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: inevitably people write articles about what we say on the show,

123
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: the data reflects that if you are a senior citizen,

124
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: if you are over sixty five years old, you should

125
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, you should get poosted, you should do

126
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: everything that you can for your health. Buck and I

127
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: continue to say this for our own parents who are

128
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: over sixty five. Senior citizens are under massively higher risk

129
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: from COVID than younger people are. But if you are deciding,

130
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: and by the way, ninety nine percent of senior citizens

131
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: have gotten at least one shot so far, which is

132
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: an incredible public health success story that almost no one

133
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: talks about. But if you are deciding at this point

134
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: that you will not get the COVID vaccine, that is

135
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: a choice that you are making, and it is primarily

136
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: a risk that you yourself are bearing exclusively, not that

137
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: you are foisting upon others. Because even if you get

138
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine, data now reflects that you get and

139
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: spread COVID at roughly the same rate as the unvaccine

140
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: of your risk, but you have the spread the same

141
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: They will not allow that to be a conclusion that

142
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: has widely shared. They'll certainly debate that the apparatus of

143
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: the Fauciites, whatever you want to call it. They will.

144
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: They will fight this tooth and nail right now, and

145
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: they'll think even if the data does reflect what you're saying,

146
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: because the whole, the whole mission has now turned into

147
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: boosterize everybody, right, you gotta get boosts, which is why

148
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: I build the Blasio's walking around acting like he's some

149
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: kind of big hero for the most restrictive measures of

150
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: any place in the entire country in the next two weeks,

151
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: and people are pointing out there was no clay, there

152
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: was no notice for this, there was no preparation for this. Well,

153
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: think about the problem he's making for the new mayor

154
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: who's got to walk in here and immediately decide do

155
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: I resend this or do I enforce this. I gotta

156
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: tell you, everyone I talked to in New York who's

157
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: in New York politics is saying, don't expect Eric Adams

158
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: to be some kind of you know, a guy who's

159
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: all about individual choice and freedom. On this issue. He

160
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: may go along with some, not all, of the private

161
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: sector mandates, the one that's that's probably the most it's

162
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: not probably the most. Yeah, but remember they don't care,

163
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: right we are when it comes to COVID, the Libs

164
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: have openly embraced a post constitutional operating procedure. They don't

165
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: care that the CDC deciding whether you can rent out

166
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: your property, whether you can you know, kick somebody out

167
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: of your rental property or not, is under their purview.

168
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: They just say, we're gonna do it, right. I mean,

169
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: this is now what we're dealing with. And the moment

170
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: you say, hold on, that's not within your authority. We

171
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: have the Constitution, the separation of powers, so that we

172
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: can be clear even in moments of dress, what the

173
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: limitations on state authority may be. Federal you know, big

174
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: states state authority. That's a situation that I think we're

175
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to fight against. They want to get their

176
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: way when they get it, and they assume the courts.

177
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: By the way, the courts in New York have basically

178
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: upheld vaccine mandates so far in restaurants. So there are

179
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: all these lawsuits we lost. You know, people would say, oh,

180
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna take it to court. Guess who runs a

181
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: lot of the you know, gets to who the judges

182
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: are in a lot of the courts in the Blue States,

183
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: even at the federal circuit level thanks to Obama and

184
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: other presidents, a bunch of libs, a bunch of activists.

185
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: Do you agree with me though, that if we and

186
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: I think our show can be powerful in this because

187
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people will follow our lead if we

188
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: can shift the paradigm in some way. We're not going

189
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: to shift it for the far left wing. Don't care

190
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: to your point about constitutionality at all, but if we

191
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: can shift the conversation from you are a risk to me,

192
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: which is the way most in the media are covering

193
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: anybody who is unvaccinated and soon anybody who is unboostered

194
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: to you are a risk to yourself. That changes everything,

195
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: because what they've tried to do is argue that the

196
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: unvaccinated are a threat to the larger universe. It isn't

197
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: reflected that that's true based on the day. So this

198
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: is where I can give you. You're bringing to everyone

199
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: now rational view surrounded by people who are also open

200
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: to rational view. Let me take you into the the

201
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: deep dark underbelly of blue state America for a second.

202
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: Clay their argument, even if they will concede what you're

203
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: saying now, which they will not, certainly not on the

204
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: week's head. They're gonna say, oh, no, the data it's

205
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: not clear, it needs more study. They'll do the Fauci dance, right,

206
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: it's always we never knows the same thing they do

207
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: with natural immunity. Oh, we don't know how long it lasts.

208
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: They don't know how long the vaccine lasts. I know.

209
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: But anyway, but but but they're going to say, and

210
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: this is why I started talking about I went to

211
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: that preamo about masks also because I love taking shots

212
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: at how Fauci's a liar and we all know it.

213
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: But put that aside um, they basically now tell you

214
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: that even if masking reduces five percent of spread, worth it.

215
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: And what they're going to say now is even a vaccination.

216
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they still believe by the way

217
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: that it's breakthrough cases are rare. I mean, this is

218
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: this is the official line. And we got to look

219
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: at the data and really crunch it to actually come

220
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: up with some numbers here. But even if it were

221
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: clay five percent reduction from vaccination, they would say worth it,

222
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: get your shot or else. That's what That's what Blue

223
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: State America has turned into. Unfortunately, that is Unfortunately, I

224
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: do think there's some truth to it, but I am

225
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: intrigued whether we could make that the argument, whether we

226
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: can start to say whether your vaccinated or not is

227
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: primarily a risk to yourself individually. I think it starts

228
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: to shift some of the conversation. I really do next

229
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. By the way, it can be messy

230
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: for markets. Another variant of the COVID is making a mess.

231
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: If you've been following the stock market, at least it

232
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: started to come back a little bit. Inflation still a

233
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: mess out there. A lot of you are being impacted

234
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: by that, whether you see it or not, and I

235
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: know most of you see it in the form of

236
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: interest rates, How you pay for things, what price you pay.

237
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: Meaning right now is a good time to look at

238
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: your mortgage, which is the biggest investment most of us

239
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: will make in our lives buying a home. While rates

240
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: are at historic lows, how about walking an incredible rate

241
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: in right now? American financing can save you up to

242
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars a year. They can also, at this

243
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: end of the year, help you skip as many as

244
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: two mortgage payments. Think about what an extra twelve thousand

245
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: dollars in your pocket at the end of the year

246
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: could mean a thousand dollars a month saved, plus a

247
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: couple of skipped mortgage payments. Buck, you have gone to

248
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: American Financing yourself and taken out a mortgage with them.

Speaker 1: two three three four MLS, Consumer access dot org. We've

257
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: talked to business leaders for months about the reality of

258
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: the delta variant and the whole reality of COVID. Do

259
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: you know what they tell us. One, when the government acts,

260
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: it makes it easier for them to act. They like

261
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: to see the government lead the way. We did that

262
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: with our own public employees, our own public schools. We

263
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: proved it works. And then what we also heard from

264
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: business leaders is whatever you do, don't let us go

265
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: back to shutdown. Don't let us go backwards. This is

266
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: a preemptive strike. This is to get ahead of something

267
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: that's now threatening us in a new way. You had

268
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: the winter weather, you had the holiday gatherings. Now, Amicron,

269
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: we're getting a lot of warnings here. We'd better be aggressive.

270
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: Even talking about shutdowns should be considered completely insane at

271
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: this point. Welcome back to Clay and Buck. So that's

272
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: the mayor of New York City, for whom I cannot

273
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: find enough pejoratives, and for whom the colorful language that

274
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: I would use in discussions with Clay off air, unfortunately

275
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: cannot be shared on the radio when describing Build A.

276
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: Blasio as the absolute worst mayor, maybe among the worst

277
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: politicians in America too, in terms of decision making and

278
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: what he has done to my once great and proud

279
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: city and hometown of New York. And and here's here's

280
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: what I have to say. First of all, the notion

281
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: that it worked is amazing, considering that we have to

282
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: do other things right now after the mandate went into

283
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: effect in New York in August, because it wasn't good enough.

284
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: So to say that it worked is delusional, because clearly

285
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: it didn't work. What he's really talking about is a

286
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: rolling process of dealing with this forever. But Clay, more

287
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: to the point here, he's essentially saying, you know, nice business.

288
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: He got there to be a shame if something happens

289
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: to it. So of course businesses are gonna be like, well,

290
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: I guess we have to go along with this. You're

291
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna shut us down, never mind the problems of enforcing

292
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: this if the business community in New York doesn't go along. Now, look,

293
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: I know he may be gone a few weeks, but

294
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: he's he's lobbed this political hand grenade on his way

295
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: out the door on purpose to cause all kinds of

296
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: strife and problems. If we have a situation where're gonna

297
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: shut businesses down again, New York won't recover for a decade.

298
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's going to set up a business here.

299
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: No one's gonna want to be here. And for what, Clay,

300
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: what are they doing? Not only people who live in

301
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: New York, who I feel poorly for, and frankly I

302
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: would have bailed a long time ago based on how

303
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: this last year and a half has gone, but also

304
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: for people who come to New York. And I don't

305
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: think that Deblasio understands how many millions of people around

306
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: the country and around the world make decisions about where

307
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: to go on vacation. Buck The number of people that

308
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: are traveling to New York City has been unbelievably low,

309
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: and the direct number of jobs that are connected to tourism,

310
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: even for a place like New York City is massive,

311
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: beyond belief. And then when you factor in all of

312
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: the money that comes from people's stay in hotels, the

313
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: hotel taxes that are basically enforced on tourists, we're talking

314
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: about Deblasio in conjunction with the failure of people to

315
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: visit and running away so many high income New Yorkers

316
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: who have options to live in other parts of the

317
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: country or brankly anywhere around the world. This is a

318
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: destructive generational, generational issue that Eric Adams, if he's smart,

319
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: will immediately rescind when he comes into office. I don't

320
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: know if he'll be willing to do it, but that

321
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: would be a monumental step that he could take to

322
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: just say Deblasio's rules are out the wind, but we're

323
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: so we're so beaten down that if Eric Adams comes

324
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: in and is willing to say, cops aren't the problem

325
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to crime in this city, and having

326
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: the strictest lockdown in the western world is not a

327
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: good idea for New York City. Right now, people are

328
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: gonna act like he's the Messiah. So that's out beaten

329
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: down New Yorker's field right now, which is at least

330
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: a good spot for Eric Adams to find himself in.

331
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: And you could find yourself in a great spot by

332
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: saving a ton of money on your cell phone bill.

333
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,440

351
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Hanging out

352
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: with all of you. Appreciate you guys. As we roll

353
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: through Tuesday edition of the program, we talked about the

354
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: COVID madness that continues to descend upon our cities across

355
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: our country. One of the other wild things that's going

356
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: on right now is an attempt to use COVID as

357
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: a justification for why the overall crime rate is skyrocketing

358
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: all over the country. Twenty twenty, we discussed with you

359
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: FBI data showed nearly a thirty percent increase in the

360
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: overall number of murders, which was the largest increase on record.

361
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: Things so far in many cities are not getting better.

362
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: It's likely that we are going to see an overall

363
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: increase from that massive increase in twenty twenty in twenty

364
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: twenty one as well, meaning that things are not going

365
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: to have gotten better in many of the places across

366
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: the country. Why could that be occurring and what is

367
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: the overall impact on so many of you all over

368
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: this country. Well, this is interesting. Beverly Hills Police Chief

369
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Mark Stainbrook is willing to actually speak out of course,

370
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills a part of Los Angeles where we have

371
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: seen overall in the city of Los Angeles, massive increases

372
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: in crime all over California. And he says, the police

373
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: chief there did does that the reason why crime is

374
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: surging is because California voters have been sold a bill

375
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: of goods when it comes to criminal justice reform. The

376
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: California voters were sold this bill of goods that these

377
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: laws would reduce the criminal population in jails, but the

378
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: money that was saved would be used for job placement,

379
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: drug and alcohol treatment, mental illness housing, those sorts of things.

380
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: And we just haven't seen that those services on the

381
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: back end to reduce crime, even if that were a

382
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: good plan. Clay, over the long term, which is highly debatable,

383
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: the notion that you should allow for what we've seen,

384
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: which is the loosening of the enforcement of the law

385
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: and the undermining of police simultaneously and that that wouldn't

386
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: result in people suffering. Now you can talk about better

387
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: services and outreach and you know, all this things, and

388
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: that's all on good, by the way, that's already going

389
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: on at stunning levels in places like New York Los Angeles,

390
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: where there's a you know, a massive social welfare and

391
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: services state and operation of bureaucracy that's by the way,

392
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: highly inefficient and not very good at a job. But

393
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: there's already all kinds of stuff going on with regard

394
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: to that. But in the meantime, people get their homes

395
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: broken into, get their stuff stolen, and get clubbed over

396
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: the head in New York City here when they're on

397
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: the way to the subway. I mean, you know, crime,

398
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: all the crime that matters, use the crime. It's local, right,

399
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: So I just want to make sure that we always

400
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: keep in mind this is true of basically every major

401
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: city across the country and most medium sized cities if

402
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: you look at it places across the country. I've mentioned Wichitan,

403
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: Lanson because I crunch the numbers on those. There are

404
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: others though, that are you know, in the less less

405
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: than half a million range, a couple hundred thousand, where

406
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: they've still had big increases in crime. Portland a city

407
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: of six hundred thousand and a thousand shootings in the

408
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: last year. Right, so, Clay, What we have, though, is

409
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: a Democrat party that is in denial about this because

410
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: what are they gonna say, right? How are they pushed

411
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: all this stuff like they had the panacea? Undermine cops,

412
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: more social services, less crime, everybody's happier, more social justice.

413
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: What we've gotten is old ladies being clubbed on the

414
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: head on the way to the store, those guys being

415
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: led out the same day because no cash bail, People

416
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: being either not prosecuted for felonies or very lightly prosecuted

417
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: for felonies because social justice is going to be better.

418
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: This is madness. AOC said just last week. This was

419
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: the quote, folks, we have to talk about specifics, for example,

420
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: because we're actually seeing a lot of these allegations of

421
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: organized retail theft are actually not panning out. This is

422
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: the interview last week. I believe it's a Walgreens in

423
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: California cited it, but the data didn't back it up.

424
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: I mean, this woman's living on another planet. She's not

425
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: even living in another country, She's living another planet. This

426
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: is insane. Being concerned with the punishment of criminals. Being

427
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: too strong is a luxury of low crime. And I

428
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: hate to sound like Matthew McConaughey in True Detective, but

429
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: time is a flat circle. What ends up happening over

430
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: and over again is we go through the same cycles

431
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: in this country. People get convinced that police have too

432
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: much power, and there's a couple of viral videos that

433
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: go out and it becomes anecdotal evidence to support an

434
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: indictment of police everywhere in the wake of George Floyd,

435
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: and the overall result is so eminently predictable. Crime skyrockets.

436
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,239
Speaker 1: The people that are ostensibly being protested for are the

437
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: ones who bear the brunt of the crime because, make

438
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: no mistake about it, Black Lives Matter, in an unbelievable irony,

439
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: leads to the more active Black Lives Matter protests are

440
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: the more black people who die. That happens almost every

441
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: single city if you look at the data. The more

442
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: active and protests are, the less police are able to

443
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: do their job, The media disappears, and the murderate skyrockets

444
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: for those who are left behind in those cities. And

445
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: so this is eminently predictable. It's why in twenty twenty two.

446
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: We need to see a massive outreach of Republican voters

447
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: to repudiate, defund the police, and to let police do

448
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: their jobs again and put violent criminals back behind the bars.

449
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean to me, even though people want to pretend

450
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: to didn't happen. Waukashaw is a perfect example of this, Buck.

451
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: You had a guy who never should have been on

452
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: the streets at all. Daryl Brooks was a violent, hardened

453
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: criminal who was allowed out with a limited bail and

454
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: then what we believe committed racially charged murders in Waukashaw,

455
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: and the media wants to pretend it didn't happen, because

456
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: the media directly has blood on its hands with what

457
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: happened there. But so did the DA's who are not

458
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: enforcing the law and are allowing violent criminals. You see

459
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: this all the time, Buck, How often do you see

460
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: whenever one of these incident happens, the person who does

461
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: it almost never has any kind of clean rap sheet, right.

462
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: They have been in and out of prison for years,

463
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: violent crime after violent crime. They had no business being out.

464
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: This is happening all over our country, whether it's Milwaukee,

465
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: whether it's Phoenix, whether it's Houston, whether it's New York City, Atlanta,

466
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: you name the place, it's happening everywhere, Clay, there was

467
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: just a horrific fatal stabbing in New York of a

468
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: PhD students. Actually were two stabbings, one comb the other

469
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: d Right, I'm sorry, a Columbia PhD student. Right, Yeah,

470
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: the Columbia PhD student who was stabbed to death. And unsurprisingly,

471
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: the guy who stabbed into death had already been arrested

472
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: eleven times. Now, I understand that the story that we're

473
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: supposed to believe here from the criminal justice reformers out

474
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: there on the left, the Sauros thinking social justice, progressive

475
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: prosecutor types, or whether the prosecutors or just individuals, but

476
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: that that same mentality is, oh my gosh, some guy

477
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: got caught for the third time stealing a pair of

478
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: socks and he's going to prison forever for it, and

479
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: that shouldn't happen. Now, by the way, that shouldn't happen.

480
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: But what also shouldn't happen is you change laws that

481
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: aren't really going to stop that, but will result in

482
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: people who have multiple felony convictions arrests. I mean, once

483
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: you've been arrested ten, eleven, fifteen, twenty in the case

484
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: of a guy who hit an old lady here on

485
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: the streets some months ago, but it went viral because

486
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: there's video of it. Literally just just clocked an old

487
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: lady in the head walking past her broad daylight, an

488
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: elderly woman. Guy, I've been arrested one hundred times. Okay,

489
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: So at what point do the libs have to accept

490
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: that when someone's been arrested fifteen times, fifty times, a

491
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: hundred times, it's not because the system is so unfair

492
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: to them, at least the criminal justice system. If anything,

493
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: it's too permissive, and there are people that need to

494
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: be taken off the street for the safety of those

495
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: around them. Notice, with COVID, you know you're a threat

496
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: to other people if you breathe. But with violent felons,

497
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: it's hey, come on, let's not be too harsh, let's

498
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: not get crazy. You know, this guy doesn't need to

499
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: go to prison. He'll only you know, he hit his

500
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: fifth old lady over the head with a hammer. Maybe

501
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: if we give him, you know, some more social services,

502
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: he'll stop hitting old ladies with hammers. The irony here

503
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: also buck is it maybe the only thing Joe Biden's

504
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: almost gotten right in his entire career, nineteen ninety four

505
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: crime bill, which he now has repeated. It's that amazing

506
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: one thing. And I will say, right, there were Republicans

507
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: at the time, just out of like sheer hatred of Biden.

508
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: We're saying, oh, he even turned it, and I'm like,

509
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: no, no no, guys, but that was that was actually good.

510
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: That was actually that was actually a good thing. And

511
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: now we should be hitting him for abandoning the one

512
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: good thing that either that anyway, I mean, it's it's

513
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: crazy everyone's saying. I mean, you know, we've got He'd

514
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: just go down the list, right, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Phoenix, Minneapolis,

515
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: all these cities, Claire, people listening across the coy Houston,

516
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: all right, shooting's way up, crime way up. What the

517
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: heck is going on? Democrats, That's what's going on, folks.

518
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: They're in charge. We're all about pets on this program,

519
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: yours ares. We love them. We want our pets to

520
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: be healthy and well fit. One way to make sure

521
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: that's happening is to give them the benefits of a

522
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: healthy food supplement. It's called rough Greens, and it's meant

523
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: to supplement the dry kibbled dog food you're feeding your

524
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: dog every day. Dry dog food does not have the

525
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: living ingredients your dog needs for a healthy digestive system. Vitamins, probiotics, enzymes,

526
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: and antioxidant's just the name a few. Those all come

527
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: with Rough Greens. You sprinkle a little on your dog's food,

528
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: you'll see just how your dog loves it. The ingredients

529
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: that that are in it really help with your dogs

530
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: overall health, digestion, energy, you name it. What you get

531
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: is a happier and healthier dog. Jason and Kansas is

532
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: saying now that his dog, he now tells us that

533
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 1: his dog pushes the bowl as quickly as possible so

534
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: that the mixed the Rough Greens can be mixed in quickly.

535
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: The folks at rough Greens are so confident your dog

536
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: is gonna love it. They've got a special deal for you.

537
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: Got a rough Greens dot com slash eib, They're gonna

538
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: give you the first bag free. All you pay is shipping.

539
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: That's rough Greens dot Com slash eib. Rough Greens dot

540
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: Com slash eib. His defense should have actually said plot

541
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: insanity and I would have bought it. Like when you

542
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: listen to the story and your follow every element of this,

543
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: Like Jesse Smaller is not a sane person. And what

544
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: people are forgetting is that he's asking you to believe.

545
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, there's this thing called Ockham's razor, right, Usually

546
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 1: the simplest explanation is the best explanation. He is asking

547
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: you to believe. Just an incredible set of circumstances took

548
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: place here. I mean, you have to be an absolute

549
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: fool to believe anything else in what is plainly in

550
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: front of us, Jesse Smollett wide. It is actually the

551
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: greatest racial hoax that has taken place, at least in

552
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: the last three decades. Welcome back the Clay and Bucksher.

553
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: That's Candice Owens lighten it up last night on Fox

554
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: about the Jesse Smollette trial. And I still feel like

555
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: there is a great disservice both to justice and to transparency.

556
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: I would even add to that a great disservice to comedy. Yeah,

557
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: we do not have access to what is being said.

558
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: We're getting reporting of it, but we don't have the audio.

559
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: We don't have the video from within the courtroom of

560
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Jesse Smaller. Just so everyone is clear on this. He

561
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: is now claiming that there was in fact, at this stage,

562
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: he is still saying there was a hate crime attack

563
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: against him and that the two Nigerian brothers committed this

564
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: hate crime attack. I guess is that where that's I think.

565
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: He's also now arguing that there was a third person

566
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: in addition to the two of them, and that this

567
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: mystery third person might have been a white guy. And

568
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean it, it is spiraled into a series of

569
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: unbelievable wise but he's still claiming, yes, that he was

570
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: the victim of a hate crew. He's saying there was

571
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: a hate crime atack. He's also claiming that one of them,

572
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, Nigerian brothers and him had some kind of

573
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: a relationship, sexual relationship at a bathhouse. The Nigerian brother,

574
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: I believe, claims there was no sexual relationship, but there

575
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: was a smoking of a blunt or a marijuana cigarette

576
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: for their character. And you know, like the whole thing

577
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: is absurd beyond words. And the reason that it's so

578
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: interesting is that what you see are there are still

579
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: people this whole this whole um, you know, movement around

580
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: diversity and inclusion and the race obsession of the mainstream

581
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: and the Democrat corporate media is like a religious belief

582
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: because you have people that won't even you know, they

583
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: won't come out and it's say, yeah, he very he

584
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: did it. This is a joke, This is absurd. They're

585
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: still doing the whole all we gotta hear, we gotta

586
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: hear what Russe small at You know, they're doing this

587
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: neutral reporting thing. This is beyond farce. Like if you

588
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: were writing this to be in an episode of a

589
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: TV series, they'd say, well, this is too stupid. They've

590
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: got video of the guy and the guy still claiming

591
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: that he didn't do it, and it's absurd. But it

592
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: also goes to show you Jusse Smolette has gotten away

593
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: with lying and with playing this game and playing this

594
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: card for a very long time time. Well, and not

595
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: only that, there are a lot of famous people who

596
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: have been in his corner. And one of the things

597
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: that he testified to was that Don Lemon at CNN,

598
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: who by the way, credibly accused of sexual assault. Don Lemon,

599
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: who has maintained his job at least so far at CNN,

600
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: was texting Jesse Smalette to let him know that he

601
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: was hearing the Chicago cops didn't believe his story. So

602
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: for CNN, I think this is an intriguing angle to

603
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: this story as well. You just had to fire Chris Cuomo.

604
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: Is it not another awful look for a major CNN

605
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: focal point of their coverage, a man with a primetime

606
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: show and Don Lemon to be texting with Jesse Smalette,

607
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: who is a defendant in a case that Don Lemon

608
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: is covering, to let him know what he's hearing about

609
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: the police in this case. Here's the problem. The reason

610
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: CNN is embarrassed not that they have unethical anchors who

611
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: do bad things and lie and all that. It's because

612
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: they still cling to this facade, right, it's not believable,

613
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: the same way that jose Smallatt claims he still clings

614
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: to the notion that he was the victim of a

615
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: hate crime, which is just not credible to any person

616
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: that has a functioning brain. CNN still claims that it

617
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: is an objective news entity. It is journalism at CNN,

618
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: And what you see is all of their hosts are

619
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: effectively Democrat activists who are trying to stack the deck,

620
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: who are playing games behind closed doors and texting people

621
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: and using their influence and using their leverage to bring

622
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: about not only a certain perception in their audience their propagandists,

623
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: but also outcomes politically. That's why they're activists, and they

624
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: lie about it, you know, Clay, when we have somebody

625
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: on this show, you know, I'll say, oh, you know,

626
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: we just have we're having well having on Pete Hexeth,

627
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: right or something like that. I'll say, Pete, he's a

628
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: friend of mine, like Pezza friend. We've known each other

629
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: now for a dec and we have a lot of

630
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: people on that are friends of yours. Beats one of

631
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: them our friends of yours too. I want to tell

632
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: the audience that because we're honest with people about where

633
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: we're coming from. Don Lemon is covering Jesse Small at

634
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: night after night as though he's an objective news anchor,

635
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: and he's basically texting him about, oh man, the police

636
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: don't believe you. You better watch out, which goes to

637
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: the very essence of whether these guys can be trusted

638
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: and is further of a black eye for the journalism

639
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: of CNN. I don't know who's going to be left

640
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: by the time all these stories continue to rear their

641
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: ugly heads surrounding everyone at CNN. It sounds like Chris

642
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Cuomo is maybe going to try to take Jeff Zucker

643
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: down with him to see some of those quotes. Chris Cuomo,

644
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: by the way, has lost his satellite radio show now.

645
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: Sirius XM has pulled that show from him too, so

646
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: he has no media outlets right now. He's going to

647
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: sue CNN arguing that he's owed the remainder of his contract.

648
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: And now he's saying, hey, Jeff Zucker knew every thing,

649
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: and so now Jeff Zucker might end up under the

650
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: under the investigation before all is said and done too.

651
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: This is a pretty monstrous mess for CNN going forward,

652
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: and it's an ugly look for everyone who defended Jesse

653
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: small Att in any way, we're gonna be joined by

654
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: the way coming back on the flip side here top

655
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: of hour two, Alex Barrenson our friend, speaking of friends,

656
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: who has continued to cover all of the data surrounding COVID.

657
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: What is the latest? Does the Prince of Darkness have

658
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: a glimmer of hope for us? Buck? What do you

659
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: think that there's gonna be anything positive that Alex Barrenson

660
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: has to say? In the long run, nothing last, forever.

661
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: That's the positive. Alex Barrenson next,
