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 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to the Clay Travis and

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck right here with my

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: main man, Clay, and we have so much to get

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: to with all of you today. First of all, mask

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: mandates already coming back in some places. Could this grow?

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: What are we learning about the delta variant it's effectiveness

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: against the vaccines. Vaccine mandates are expanding as well in

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: places all across the country. We've also got some very

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: interesting crime data out of Chicago and some polling about

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: how citizens residents of Detroit feel about police presence. Some

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: updates on the Tucker Carlson an essay story. Turns out

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Tucker was onto something. We'll give you those details in

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: just a moment here. And the Olympics for those of

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: you who could stay awake through some of it or

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: decided to watch it. Some stories generally not about how

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: great the Olympics are to talk to you about, but

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: something some takeaways on about first Clay, masks, vaccines, mandates, lockdowns.

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh my, it's deja vu all over again. To quote

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Yogi bearra it isn't going away. Buck here is the

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: problem that we are running into. There was the hope,

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: and I think everyone out there hope that it was

23
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 1: true that these COVID vaccines were going to be a panacea,

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: that it was going to in COVID, that no one

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: who took the vaccine was going to be able to

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: get COVID, that there was going to be no breakthroughs,

27
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: that this was going to last forever, right or at

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: least a decade or fifteen or twenty years, that it

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: was going to be like the measles and the months

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: vaccines that most of us got as kids, and maybe

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: you had to get a booster when you were going

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: into high school or college or whenever it might have

33
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: been to ensure that you never got those viruses. That

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: is not what is going to happen. It doesn't appear

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: based on all the data with COVID, COVID is going

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: to become endemic. It is going to become like the flu.

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: There are going to be many different versions of COVID

38
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: that circulate. You may well have a yearly COVID shot

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: that is coming down the pike in the years ahead.

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: And as a result the data that is coming in

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and again let me just say right off the top

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: of people are like, oh you're as I VACS. No. No,

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I just want everybody out there to understand the facts.

44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: The facts and we've been saying this for a long time.

45
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: Buck are if you're over sixty five years old, you

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: are under particularly susceptible COVID related dangers. You should get

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: the vaccine, and you should get the boosters or whatever

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: else is put out there. If you are obese, if

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: you have underlying substantial health conditions, let me be clear,

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: go get the vaccine. Even though it is not perfect,

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: it does, according to the data, a much better job

52
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: at lowering the overall severity of your COVID your COVID infection.

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: All right, But there are studies, including one from Israel,

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: which was written about to the credit of the media.

55
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: I read it everywhere or whether it's the New York

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: Times Wall Street Journal, that said that the Israeli studies

57
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: have shown the Fiser vaccine, the Fiser in the Maderna

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: are two of the biggest. They haven't really tested the

59
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: Maderna vaccine, but the Fiser vaccine is only thirty nine

60
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: percent effective at stopping the COVID infection. We were told

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: early on Hey, these things are ninety five percent effective

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: against everything. So the delta variant, which everyone is talking

63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: about right now in Israel, based on a fairly substantial study,

64
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: there is only a thirty nine percent protection against infection

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: that occurs from the COVID vaccine. There does, according to

66
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: this study, help to limit the severity of those actions.

67
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: But Buck, the reason why I am sharing all this

68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: data is I think it's important that everybody out there

69
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: listening to us, here's the truth, and the truth is

70
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: this COVID doesn't go away if you get a vaccine,

71
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: it just doesn't go away, and so you still have

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: the risk. There is the risk of infection. I'll give

73
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: you an example. In the world of sports. John Rombuck

74
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: was set to go play in the Olympics. He's one

75
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: of the best golfers in the world. People may remember

76
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: that he was pulled off the golf course with the

77
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: lead on Saturday. Going into a Sunday at the Memorial

78
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Golf tournament cost him one point seven million dollars. He

79
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: had already had his first vaccine, he had COVID double vaccinated.

80
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: He now has already tested positive for COVID again. This

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: is happening everywhere I was in Los Angeles. You couldn't

82
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: even find COVID test. I mean, this is a big

83
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: deal and it's not going away. Here's doctor Anthony Fauci

84
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: telling people that if you're even if you're vaccinated, maybe

85
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: it's time to mask up. So it's quite understandable, Neil,

86
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: why local authorities are now saying, good that you're vaccinated,

87
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: but in a situation where you have people indoors, particularly crowded,

88
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: you should wear a mask. Now, Clay, COVID zero is

89
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: something that some countries have been trying to trying to

90
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: push for, meaning that COD is essentially eradicated. And this

91
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: used to be considered almost a conspiracy theory to bring

92
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: it up that we would ever see countries where the

93
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: goal was zero COVID, because we know that that's really

94
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: if you're going to be enmeshed in the global community,

95
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: you're going to be dealing with this virus at some level.

96
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: But the extreme COVID zero approach, which is what is

97
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: now starting to look like some people at least want

98
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: in this country, has disastrous policy implications. But you're pointing

99
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: out how effective the vaccines actually aren't preventing transmission. If

100
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: this isn't a one and done for everybody. They've created

101
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: this whole regime of controls, of masking, of lockdowns, of

102
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: limitations on indoor, that'll just be cycling through all the

103
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: time for something that we should be considering to be

104
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: now much more similar to the flu. I mean, you

105
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: look at the most recent data. We're talking about an

106
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: increase in cases right now across the country. The New

107
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: York Times has the counter up on its front page.

108
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, new deaths two hundred and sixty nine as

109
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: of July twenty fifth, up twenty percent in the fourteen

110
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: day average. This is no longer a hospitalization and death

111
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: pandemic in this country. So we have to adjust our

112
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: thinking toward this instead. You've got, you know, the big

113
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: announcer from the BLASI today saying you have to get

114
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: COVID tests every week if you're not vaccinated and you've

115
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: got a mask up in the office. So and they

116
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: want private sector companies to enforce the same policies. Not

117
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: only that, Buck, but I think what we're headed forward,

118
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: and I think the NFL is a good example about this,

119
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: is there is a focus on COVID breakthroughs. It's going

120
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: to be almost impossible to stop a ton of COVID

121
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: breakthrough infections from happening based on the lagging success of

122
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: these vaccines. And right now we just have a big

123
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: blame factory right and buck. Right now, any sort of

124
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: infection increase is being blamed on people not getting the vaccine.

125
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: And look again, we ran through who definitely should be

126
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: getting the vaccine. But what's also creeping up if you

127
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: look at Israel and if you look at England, who

128
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: had higher rates of vaccination and are further down this

129
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: path than us, is there is going to be a

130
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: massive collision between COVID cases with the vaccinated and COVID

131
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: cases with the unvaccinated. In other words, this vaccine is

132
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: not a panacea to prevent COVID infections in the future.

133
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: And at some point we just have to acknowledge that

134
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: this thing is here to stay and much like the flu,

135
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: we can changed the world forever based on a virus.

136
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: And the problem with all of this is that if

137
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: we actually get to that point, Clay, if doctor Faucci

138
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: finally relents and says, you know what, it turns out

139
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: that focused protection of the elderly, that vaccines by choice

140
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: for those who are at substantial risk that policies that

141
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: are much closer to how we handle the seasonal flu.

142
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I know this was much worse for fatalities overall for

143
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: senior citizens than the seasonal flu was, but in terms

144
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: of our approach to it should be much more similar

145
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: to what we do in flu season, which is vaccinations,

146
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: stay away from sick people, things like that. It would

147
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: be an admission that so much of what has been

148
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: done for the last eighteen months was madness, was not

149
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: actually what we should have done as a country. So

150
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: the problem that we have now is that people don't

151
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: like to admit that they were wrong. They certainly don't

152
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: like to admit that their critics were right. In some

153
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: ways that's even worse, And so Faucci on the whole

154
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: gloibal medical consensus such as it is, don't want to

155
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: actually say, you know what, man, the people that we're

156
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: saying we need to learn to live with COVID six

157
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: months ago, twelve months, a year ago, they had a point,

158
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: they had a point or right, effectively, buck you and

159
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: I were right. Now that is that is such a

160
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: huge part here of how is this going to play out?

161
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Because right now, again the blame factory has shifted to Oh,

162
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: it's all the red Staters, all these Trump voters who

163
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: won't get the vaccine. But by the way, that's not

164
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: the majority of people who are refusing to get the vaccine,

165
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: is it. Buck. It's like you're not allowed to talk

166
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: about this. I have some data. I have some data

167
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: that I want I want everybody to be aware of,

168
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: because it has turned into something of a sport. I mean,

169
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: here is Don Lemon. Whenever CNN and all these personalities

170
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: are talking talking about who's being reckless, who's to blame,

171
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: who's to blame, Who's to blame for this? It's Trump's

172
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: support orders here's CNN's Don Lemons. You know, I've heard

173
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days that you know you

174
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: shouldn't be don't say bad things about people who don't

175
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, because then they'll feel like you're attacking

176
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: them or whatever. But Michael, how much more well you

177
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of call it what it is. If if behavior

178
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: is idiotic and nonsensical, I think that you need to

179
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: tell people that their behavior is idiotic and nonsensical doesn't

180
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: mean that they are idiots. Is this that their behavior?

181
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: And on this particular point, that is not making sense.

182
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: So I don't understand what has taken people so long,

183
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: and how many people have to die for adults, for adults,

184
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: and why are adults believing people on the internet instead

185
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: of science and experts. This is only possible at CNN

186
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: because that audience is convinced. So the daily drumbeat of

187
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: this is Trump. So it's maga hat wearers who refuse

188
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: to get that scene. That's what they tell their audience. Clay,

189
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: I have some data for all of us about New

190
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: York City. It turns out that that's not really the case.

191
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: So why don't we That's a hell of a tease.

192
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear that day. Why don't we

193
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: get into some of that data, an NYC. I've also

194
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: got data for you on how to keep your dog

195
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: as healthy as possible. It comes courtesy as some of

196
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: the folks who have tried Rough Greens in Fort Worth, Texas.

197
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Jay says, We've loved the opportunity to try rough

198
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: Greens products. It's working great. See. Rough Greens is a

199
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: supplement that I add to my beloved Tallula, a little frenchie.

200
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: She's chubby, she's great. We add it to her food,

201
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: and she's just got more pep in her step. Now

202
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: most importantly for us, sometimes she'd wake us up in the

203
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: the middle Nikes, she's an upset tummy. That tummy is

204
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: doing better than it has in a long time. Well,

205
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: why it makes sense right. Rough Greens gives you live vitamins, probiotics, enzymes,

206
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: omega oils and antioxidants for your dog. It's not a

207
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: dog food, it's a supplement you add into your dogs

208
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: food to give it all the live nutrients for superior

209
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: dog health. The folks at rough Greens are so confident

210
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: your dog is gonna love Rough Greens they have a

211
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: special deal for you. Our listeners gonna Roughgreens dot Com,

212
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: slash Clay and Buck, and they're gonna give you the

213
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: first bag free. You heard me, right free. All you

214
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: pay is shipping. That's ruf. Roughgreens dot Com, slash Clay

215
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: and Buck, Roughgreens dot Com, slash Clay and Buck. The

216
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: vaccines work. They work, and it's proven in the numbers.

217
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: Those who are vaccinated reduce the risk of hospitalization by

218
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: ninety four percent. So if you're vaccinated, you are much

219
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: much less likely to get the COVID virus to begin with,

220
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: and if you get it, it is not as severe

221
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: and you're not hospitalized. Those are facts. What we're looking

222
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: at is a pandemic of the un vaccinated, a pandemic

223
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: of that twenty five percent of the population that is

224
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: still refused to get the vaccine. That is New York

225
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: Governor Andrew Cuomo. By the way, how many women have

226
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: accused him of sexual harassment and every story just went away.

227
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: By the way, the DOJ's now I can investigate the

228
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: nursing home tobacco either. That's not a shock. Is it

229
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: not a shock at all? It's it's unbelievable what he

230
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: has gotten away with. I By the way, I'm Clay Travis,

231
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: he is buck Sexton. This is Clay Travis and Buck

232
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: Sexton show. We wanted to bring back in Andrew Cuomo

233
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: talking about the situation in New York because buck Sexton,

234
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: you have data. Let me just say this again right now,

235
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: the unvaccinated is the blame factory for COVID right And

236
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: I believe in the next few weeks, if you look

237
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: at Israel and you look at England, that the unvaccinated

238
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: are going to become more difficult to blame because the

239
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: vaccines themselves are having a massive number of breakthrough infections.

240
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: Now hopefully they are going to be less significant than

241
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: if you had not been vaccinated. Again, I want to say,

242
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: if you're over sixty five and you're unhealthy, this makes

243
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Continuing buck, they're not talking about

244
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: all the people, including you and me, who have already

245
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: had COVID in this discussion at all. You and I

246
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: are not vaccinated, but we've had COVID, and we have

247
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: COVID in a body, so we have as much protection

248
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: as most vaccinated people from these viruses. But what are

249
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: you seeing from the data in New York City about

250
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: who is refusing to get vaccinated? So New York Cities,

251
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: you all know, the largest city in America, over eight

252
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: million people, so it's a pretty good data set to

253
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: look at for this. It's also about nine to one

254
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: by registration Democrat to Republican. So this is a blue

255
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: blue stronghold with a whole lot of folks. And if

256
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: you believe the narrative you see on TV, the only

257
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: problem the only people who are refusing to get and

258
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: just this notion also refusing to get vaccinated judgment implied

259
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: in this but have chosen not to get vaccinated. Are

260
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: our white Trump supporters. This is the story here all

261
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: that time, overwhelming, and they're on MSNBC and CNN of

262
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: the New York Times, and they're really nasty about it.

263
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they're essentially saying, you, dumb Trump supporters are

264
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: killing people by not getting vaccinated. What's so interesting is

265
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: that you never hear them say, nor do you have

266
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: any sort of real criticism level that some of the

267
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: other communities out there who are also choosing not to

268
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: get vaccinated in large numbers. In fact, the largest and

269
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: this was as of July twenty third, so this is

270
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: recent data. The largest block of unvaccinated New Yorkers across

271
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: all ages are Black Americans living in New York thirty

272
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: one percent citywide. Thirty one percent citywide are vaccinated. At

273
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: nine percent, nearly seven and ten black people living in

274
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: New York City not vaccinated. Asians are seventy percent vaccinated,

275
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: Hispanic Latino forty one percent, White forty five percent. So

276
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: it's clay we could look at this and say, why

277
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: do we even have to break this down? What does

278
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: this even matter? Because when people see the way this

279
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: is being politicized to bludgeon Trump supporters in the media

280
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: all the time as this sort of out, it's this

281
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: catharsis of all the rage from the Fauciites. Well, guess

282
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, they're clearly not actually looking at what

283
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the data is indicating in place. I'm sure it's similar,

284
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: and you've go to other major cities, you're going to

285
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: see there are substantial minority populations who are not vaccinated either.

286
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: So let's at least look at the data for what

287
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: it is. Not only that, I mean, this is the

288
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: case in my state of Tennessee, large black population, right,

289
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: also large Trump supporting population. Same thing Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas,

290
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: all these places with both red state bonafides if they

291
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: want to argue it's a red state issue, but also

292
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: large black population. So you are ending up with both

293
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: of those issues conspiring to have lower vaccination rates. By

294
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: the way, also, I think a real high number of

295
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: natural immunity as well as it pertains in this situation.

296
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: And you can see from the anxiety among some of

297
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: the lesser risk vaccinated people that are going on TV,

298
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: they're actually concerned that at some point the vaccine their

299
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: immunity maybe on the decline. They're worried about themselves, because yes,

300
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: they're always complaining about they hate all these Trump supporters,

301
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: you know, they don't like them, and they're acting like

302
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: it's this national emergency that some in their minds, Trump

303
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: supporters are not getting vaccinated at high enough levels. Why

304
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: why is that their problem? Right? I mean, you can

305
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: see there's this this busybody, nagging attitude that comes with

306
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: all of this, and it's it's driving. It's also not

307
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: rooted in the data in a lot of ways, which

308
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: is what data. Also, you hear a lot about, Hey,

309
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: this is why the variants keep emerging. That's not really

310
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: true in the United States. Most of the variants are

311
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: going to come around the world where the vaccination rate

312
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: is minuscule. Right. In the meantime, Secrets Out people are

313
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: abandoning their overpriced wireless carriers and flocking to Pure Talk

314

Speaker 1: the Man behind the Golden EIB microphone. There's a dozen

331
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: episodes that will remind you of the greatness of Russ

332
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: would so many amazing stories share. I'm your host of

333
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: this series, available wherever you listen to podcasts. My Pillow

334
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: and Tunnel to Towers Foundation are both sponsored. Thanks for

335
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: running long. Here on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.

336
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm Buck. Here with me is of course Clay, and

337
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: we are trying to make sense of increasingly nonsensical policies,

338
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: prognostications mandates when it comes to COVID. Clearly it's not

339
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: just all over. Remember when Biden was promising us that

340
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: if only we got a certain level of people ve accented,

341
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you could enjoy a Fourth of July

342
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: with family and friends. That at that point everybody was

343
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: already saying, yeah, if you're normal, meaning if you are

344
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: normal psychologically during this pandemic, you're going to enjoy for

345
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: the July with family and friends, regardless of what Joe

346
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: Biden says. But now they're looking like they're about to

347
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: change the rules and change where we are once again.

348
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: Here is doctor Fauci, who I really do believe is

349
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: the most destructive public public official in my lifetime, certainly

350
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: the most destructive public health official in living memory. And

351
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: here he is telling us you might need boost to shots.

352
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: And the data that's evolving from Israel and from FISA

353
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: indicates that it looks like there might be some diminution

354
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: and protection. And when you have that, the most vulnerable

355
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: people are the ones that you were talking about a

356
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: moment ago, namely people who have suppressed immune system, those

357
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: who are transplant patients, can sy chemotherapy, ortoimmune diseases that

358
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: are on immune suppressive regimens. Those are the kind of

359
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: individuals that if there's going to be a third boost

360
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: which might likely have and will be among first the

361
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: vulnerable and the ACIP which met on July twenty second,

362
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: they discuss that in some detail and continue to look

363
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: at the data that might push us in that direction.

364
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: Boosters Clay, this has been talked about for a while,

365
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: but they always told us, don't worry about it. This

366
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: vaccine's amazing. It is the silver bullet. Turns out it's not.

367
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: It's not it's the flu. I mean, and I know

368
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: people are like, you can't say it's the flu. It

369
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: is the flu. Now we are going to have booster shots,

370
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: I think, yearly for years and years to come, because

371
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: all of the different covid variants are going to be spreading,

372
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: and they're going to be guessing, like they do with

373
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: the flu when they give the flu shot. What do

374
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: they do buck Every year they guess which flu version

375
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: is going to be the most prevalent, and they encourage

376
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: people who compromised immune systems, the elderly to go get

377
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: their flu shot. And every year the flu, unfortunately kills

378
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of Americans and mostly senile around the world,

379
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: mostly seniors, mostly seniors, And when you actually look at

380
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: where we're headed, I think it's impossible to say that

381
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: we're going to be doing anything other than that and

382
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: right now, and I just want to circle back around.

383
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: There is a lot of mistrust, I think, because so

384
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: much of what our health policy experts have told us

385
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: have ended up being untrue. And I think unfortunately, one

386
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: of the things that's going to come out of this

387
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine is they are going to have massively sold

388
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: the idea that if you get a COVID shot, it's

389
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: a silver bullet, right because I think a lot of

390
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: people think about it in the measles, the momps, the

391
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: rubella's perspective, smallpox back in the day, that you can

392
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: effectively eradicate this thing forever, right, Like smallpox and polio

393
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: don't exist for the most part in the world. And

394
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people out there

395
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: that believed with COVID vaccines that's what was going to happen.

396
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: I think the chances of that being the case, that

397
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: COVID being like smallpox or it being like the polio

398
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: is virtually zero. Would you agree with that based on

399
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: the data that you're seeing that the idea that we're

400
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: just going to eradicate this thing variants almost impossible. You

401
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: see how many variants we've already had, and they keep

402
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: talking about it, and it looks like the delta variant

403
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: is more transmissible, and that a lot of virologists and

404
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: people that have spent their whole lives studying this have

405
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: warned that as this, you know, rips through populations all

406
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: over the world, you're going to get variations of the

407
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: of the virus that could also then evade some degree

408
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: of the mr Anda vaccines that are currently out there.

409
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: But there were people, very basic things were said at

410
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: the start of this by people who just look at

411
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: stuff for what it is and can come to rational conclusions.

412
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: People said things that if you were I know you

413
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: do remember this, but everybody will remember, you would be

414
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: shouted down. You'd be told you were reckless and that

415
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: you didn't care if old people die, and all these

416
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: horrible things. Guilty of wanting human sacrifice so that you

417
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: can get a hair cut, right. The terrible stuff that

418
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: was said about anybody who tried to inject some degree

419
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: of rationality into this debate at the beginning we would

420
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: say things like, well, we've never been able to eliminate.

421
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: There are two hundred plus cold viruses in circulation. There

422
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: are strains of flu that you know, every year the

423
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: flu circulates all over the world. This has been something

424
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: that people have looked at and said, what is the

425
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: likelihood that we'll ever get to truly to COVID zero

426
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: that will effectively cure this, as you said, like smallpox,

427
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: that was always highly unlikely, but they sold us all on.

428
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: If everybody has this big push for the vaccine, will

429
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: be in a place where we don't have to think

430
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: about COVID anymore. And this is how you get people

431
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: like Stelter. Not that I mean he's not only is

432
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: not an expert in metasista guy's an expert in nothing,

433
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: but he's good at that. Here he is just essentially

434
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: espousing the dominant position out there in democrat Aligne media,

435
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: which is that it's like we're living in two different worlds,

436
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: the vaccinated and unvaccinated. For fully vaccinated Americans, the risk

437
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: of serious illness is supremely low, but for the unvaccinated

438
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: it is significant, significant risk. People keep saying this is

439
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: another instance of two Americas, and it is. It's almost

440
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: like we need two kinds of newscasts or two versions

441
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: of the weather report. The forecast is pretty sunny for

442
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: the vaccinated, but it's quite bleak in some states for

443
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: the unvaccinated. And this headline sadly says it all. Nearly

444
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: all COVID deaths in the US are now among the unvaccinated.

445
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: They're three hundred and thirty three hundred forty million people

446
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: in America, and you're looking at a couple one hundred

447
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: deaths a day from COVID. I'm just you know, every

448
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: death is a tragedy, of course, and we all know

449
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: people are dying every day from a life. You know,

450
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: at what point are we saying this is now just

451
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: another public health issue, but not a public health crisis

452
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: and a pandemic that requires suspension of constitutional amendments that

453
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: things like the right to worship freely, that requires emergency

454
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: measure measures in the shutdown of businesses. I mean, Clay,

455
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: if our goal here is going to be COVID zero,

456
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: what we're actually seeing is a massive transformation of society

457
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: where state bureaucrats have effectively unlimited and unending power over

458
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: your life, and some people want that. Well, not only that,

459
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: the number one thing we could do to reduce death

460
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: in America. Do you know what it is? Buck? Don't

461
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: be fat? And I know you're not supposed to like

462
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: fat shame now, But for every single individual out there,

463
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: the best thing you can do to prolong your life

464
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: and live a healthy life is to combat obesity in

465
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: your own life and in your own family. That is

466
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: individual reliance. If health as it should be is important

467
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: to you, the vast, vast, vast majority of America could

468
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: be the most helped by reducing obesity. I believe right

469
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: now we are at COVID as the eighth or ninth

470
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: leading cause of death in America as we sit today.

471
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: Heart disease, I think is number one. I believe cancer

472
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: is number two. And one of the great I think

473
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: horrible flaws of our response to COVID, among many, is

474
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: that I think the death rates of all those other

475
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: diseases and illnesses are going to increase because so few

476
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: people were getting treated for that because they were terrified

477
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: at COVID. Well, we saw that with drugs, and we

478
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: know that we all knew that was going to be

479
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: the case. Anybody who was being honest about the data

480
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: all time record drug overdoses, deaths of despair, And I

481
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: will just say this, there are a lot of blue

482
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: check mds and certainly blue check media types who were

483
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: really ruthless about that stuff. Well, unlike COVID you know

484
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: that's on oh really, Oh okay, you know there was

485
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: a lot of that out there for people that were

486
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: working in the New York Times and CNN News rum

487
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: and now with over ninety thousand people dead from drug

488
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: overdoses in the past year, which also I would point

489
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: out brings in the border and the open border that

490
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: we have and I've seen it as it actually happens

491
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: in real time when they bring over people who a

492
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: lot of them do have COVID. That is a problem

493
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: right now. There's also a lot of drugs that come

494
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: over because all the agents are having to tend to

495
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: the children and the people who are illegally crossing into America.

496
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: But maybe we can come back into that in a moment,

497
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of different facets of not only

498
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: the COVID regime that we're all still living under, but

499
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: when does the law actually count? When does the apparatus

500
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: of control decide that rules no longer really apply? Well,

501
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats in charge is a rough one. But you know,

502
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: my Mike Lindell is the inventor of my pillow Clay,

503
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: and we love his stuff. Right, He's hooked us up

504
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: with my pillow products all over our houses. I mean,

505
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: I've got a whole bunch of favorites. But I hooked

506
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: my dad up yesterday on his birthday with some my towels.

507
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: They're the best towels he's ever had, I've ever had.

508
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: Mike Lindell is now changing the game with his six

509
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: piece towels set. This set is made with USA cotton,

510
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: makes it extremely absorbent, yet it still provides that soft

511
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: feel you look for in a towel. And so this

512
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be the best towel you've ever had, Clay.

513
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: What's in the set? What does it cost? Well? First

514
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: of all, happy birthday to your dad. Second, you told

515
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: him on the air that he was getting hooked up

516
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: with this. I hope he wasn't listening, did he know?

517
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: I kind of spoiled the surprise. Yeah, kenn of spoils surprise.

518
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: But look, it's two bath, two hand towels, two wash cloths.

531
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: are rolling through the Monday edition of the Clay Travis

532
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. I am Clay Travis, he is

533
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, and you know Buck. I was up in

534
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: Michigan last weekend. Just got back from la where it

535
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: was masked Central and everybody's freaking out about COVID again.

536
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: But in Michigan, my in laws live on the Detroit

537
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: River and we were out boating. And if you get

538
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: close to Canada at all, they have shut down any

539
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: sort of transit from the United States into Canada. People

540
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: in Canada who are guarding the border will lose their mind.

541
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: You can't go across. I mean you can literally see

542
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: it across on the other side of the river there

543
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: as people in Michigan. No, it is easy to get

544
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: back and forth, typically to the border, and I couldn't help.

545
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: But contrast that buck with what's going on in our

546
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: southern border. Everybody talks about how obsessed they are with

547
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: COVID in the Biden White House, about how much they

548
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: care about about making sure that everybody's vaccinated, Yet they

549
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: are allowing a constant stream of people, many of whom

550
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: have COVID, into our country because they're not securing the

551
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: southern border. Yeah, so if you want to go to

552
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: Canada as an American, you can't, impossible because of COVID.

553
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: But that's okay. But even though there is Title forty two,

554
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: which allows us, under health quarantine style rules to say

555
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: at our southern border, you know, we could just say

556
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: you're not allowed, in Biden administration is not using that

557
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: full They're actually gonna get rid of Title forty two entirely,

558
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: stop using it, invoking it. And it doesn't even really

559
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: matter right now because there are so many thousands and

560
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: thousands of people who were coming in. I mean, you

561
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: look at the numbers yourself, all time record in June.

562
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: Very possibly we'll see an all time record something in

563
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: the two hundred thousand range. For July, you're gonna have

564
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: close to two million people. Two million people. It's like

565
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: the city of Chicago coming across our southern border in

566
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: terms of population, all in one year. And it's Maddison

567
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: and I mean Marco Rubio is saying, look at the

568
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: way they treat our border versus the way they treat

569
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: people coming from Cuba. He saw the forceful statement from

570
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: Maorchis almost immediate. Where was that forceful statement when Joe

571
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: Biden was running for president or when he became president.

572
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: You know, by the time they finally got around us

573
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: saying it but had no credibility. We're seeing a crush

574
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: on the southern border. That's a rotating catastrophe. It continues

575
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: to escalate on a daily basis, and it was all

576
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: caused by the rhetoric that the Biden in the campaign

577
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: and the actions he took in the first days of

578
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: his administration. They didn't say what they said to the

579
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Cubans on those first days but they said is no

580
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: border wall and children and families will not be separated.

581
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: You'll be allowed to stay while we process your claims

582
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: and in the meantime or release you into the population.

583
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: That is an incentive. We are incentivizing. They are inviting

584
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: people to come here illegally. They are and that means

585
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: people know it and people will see him coming across

586
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: the border talking. There was a clip over the weekend

587
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: actually of someone who said in Spanish. It was a

588
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: it was a young woman who said, you know, I

589
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: thank President Biden for like welcoming me to come into

590
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: the country, you know, illegally. I mean this is that

591
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: we have a system, we have a process. People keep

592
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: thinking that because there's defensive asylum claims that are being

593
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: made by the people that are crossing over the border,

594
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: that they're staying within the process. Not going through a

595
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: port of entry. Just walking across the border is like

596
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: the equivalent of federal trespass. You're not allowed. That is

597
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: breaking the law. This administration just doesn't care. They just

598
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: don't care. In fact, they like it. They like it.

599
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: But also again I talked about what's going on with Canada,

600
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: where because of COVID, you can't go back and forth

601
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: across that border and haven't been able to do so

602
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: now for over a year. How about the fact that

603
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: if you go to Mexico on vacation, which I also did,

604
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: you have to pass a COVID test as an American

605
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: citizen to be able to come back into America. But

606
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: if you are walking across the border with no American

607
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: citizenship whatsoever, illegally entering in this country, you don't get

608
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: tested for COVID at all. Think about how broken that

609
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: system is that American citizens who are going to Mexico

610
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: on vacation have to take a COVID test to come

611
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: back in, but all of the people illegally crossing the

612
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: border are not subject to COVID test. I really do

613
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: think that the in the midterms. I know that's a

614
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: long way out, but I think that eventually the media

615
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: can only cover for the Biden administration for so long

616
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: by obsessing over the January sixth Commission and trying to

617
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: bring up you know, Trump as the boogeyman and all

618
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: this stuff. The border is the worst it's ever been.

619
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: It's always when you look at at national polling, a

620
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: top three immigration, illegal immigration, it's always about a top three,

621
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: top four issue. And what the Democrats are doing right

622
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: now is it's reckless and it's intentional and we can

623
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: all see it. And just from the perspective of COVID,

624
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: the and the double standards here, you would think that

625
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: they would have, first of all, there they would have

626
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: much more stringent protocols about when you know where people

627
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: are going once they're brought into the country, and are

628
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: they checked for COVID beforehand, And because they do this

629
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: to everybody else, but if you do it at our

630
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: southern border in any systematic way, it's racist. That's the

631
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: way this goes. Well, everything is racist, right up, everything,

632
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: Everything is racist according to the Democratic Party. That's their mantra. Now,

633
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: that's their three word reason for being as a party,

634
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: is to constantly tell us and lecture all of us

635
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: that everything in America's racist. And I actually think that

636
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: this is a big reason why, even though the Olympics

637
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: are going on buck this is probably the lowest Olympic

638
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: audience we're ever going to have seen. I know, we're

639
