1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to the Wednesday edition of 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. And we are 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: wrecked and stacked today. We have so much disgusted you. 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. Clay in Nashville, tennessee me 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: Buck here in NYC. The communist enclave thereof is great. 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: It is cold, it is run by authoritarians. Feels more 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: and more like Siberia with each passing day. My beloved 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: New York City ruined by the crazy libs. We'll get 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: into it and the Manhattan DA. He's got some thoughts, 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: things like, oh, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't seek 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: prison sentences that keep saying carce Roule sentence, prison sentence 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: for armed robbery. This is real, folks, this is real. 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: You'd think that after defund the police they've learned, they'd 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: learn a lesson. We're gonna get into that in some detail. Plus, 16 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: you know how we've been raising on this show concerns 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: about whether the data is actually accurate when it comes 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: to COVID hospitalizations. Clay often says the phrase about children 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: in recent months, is it with COVID or from COVID. Well, 20 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: overall are people counted as hospitalized at least in New 21 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: York State, and we know this is being replicated elsewhere 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: with COVID or from COVID. The Governor of New York 23 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: is now saying, yeah, we got to dive into that. Oh, 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: it turns out it's not a conspiracy theory. Plus, we 25 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: got some Novak Djokovic updates for the tennis. I'm a 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: tennis fan, I'll tell you the truth. And he is 27 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: having some trouble in the landdown Under about his vaccination status. 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: We got a whole lot more, but I do want 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: to start today. Clay and I were totally aligned on 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: this one. If you have to pick one thing right 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: now that shows you the rotten core of the Democrat 32 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: Party in the era of COVID, I don't think you 33 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: could have a better example of it. I don't think 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: anything could be more clear than what's going on right 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: now in the Windy City, Chicago, three hundred and forty 36 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: owls and students are shut out of school today. Why Well, 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: because the teachers union is decided that they want another 38 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: paid vacation. They want to stay home and do quote 39 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: remote learning, which, as we all know from the actual 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: studies and experience of this, means effectively no learning at all. 41 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: The teacher of the Chicago Teachers Union and the school 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: districts are in an impasse over what they call COVID 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: nineteen safety. Here's the impasse. The teachers Union is very powerful, 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: very important Democrats, and they think they can get their way, Clay. 45 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: There isn't even an argument that they can make in 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: good faith that schools should be shut down while restaurants, bars, clubs, 47 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: you name it. Yes they have vaccine passports, but they're 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: not closed. But they're doing this anyway because they think 49 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: they can get away with it. The nation's third largest city, 50 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: Buck after New York in LA. There are three hundred 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: and thirty thousand kids in Chicago that are not in 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: school today because seventy seven percent of Chicago area school 53 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: teachers voted not to go back to school in person 54 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: because of COVID. And I got some numbers here for you, Buck, 55 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: because this goes to the essence of what I think 56 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: is the most fundamental failure of everything we have done 57 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: associated with COVID. The poorest and the kids with the 58 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: least advantages. The Democratic party. Where do they say all 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: the time, Oh, we care about equity. They don't even 60 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: care about equality anymore. They care about equity. Listen to 61 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: these numbers, Buck, and I want you to just think 62 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: about the kids that these teachers and these Democratic politicians 63 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: and their teachers unions are leaving behind three hundred and 64 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: thirty thousand kids Chicago area public schools. Eighty two percent 65 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: of those kids, Buck, are black or Hispanic. Eighty two 66 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: percent black or Hispanic. Seventy percent are on free or 67 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: reduced lunch. Okay, think about that for a minute. A 68 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: lot of these kids who are not in school today 69 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: in Chicago are not able to get regular, safe, healthy 70 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: food breakfast and lunch. By the way, twenty one percent 71 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: have limited English proficiency. Fifteen percent have special education needs. Okay, 72 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: that is the data on the kids who are being 73 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: wronged by the failures of adults. And this is the 74 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: part of all of the COVID Insanity book. And I 75 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: say this as a parent, and I say this as 76 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: somebody who believes in public schools. I went to public 77 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: schools K through twelve Nashville area. My kids, my two youngest, 78 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: are in public schools. Now, this is indefensible. The Democratic 79 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: politicians who have allowed this to happen, who have allowed 80 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: themselves to be captured by the school teacher unions. This 81 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: is the biggest failure of American public policy in our lives. 82 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: And the fact that Joe Biden, you can say, well, 83 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: it's a local Chicago school district. The fact that Joe 84 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: Biden and his cronies in the Democratic Party two years 85 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: into this buck are not standing up and saying you 86 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: go to work or we are going to do whatever 87 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: is necessary to take away your paychecks. I think it 88 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: is infuriating to me, and I know it's infuriating to 89 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: a lot of parents out there listening right now in 90 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Chicago and other places who are the bad guys here. 91 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: Think about that for a second, right, listen to what 92 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: Clay just laid out for everybody. On those numbers, we're 93 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: talking about kids who are suffering. And let's note, not 94 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: just today, it will be weeks of this. It'll be 95 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: more falling behind academically, more households where people might have 96 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: to stop working, lose a job, but they really need 97 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: to take care of kids because they have to handle 98 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: this sudden change in what the COVID policies are thanks 99 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: to the teachers unions doctor Anthony Fauci. And I know 100 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: people think that he is, you know, my white whale 101 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: and I'm obsessed with you, but they're not wrong. Doctor 102 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci is on TV every five minutes. It feels 103 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: like where is he? Where is Wilenski on not saying 104 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: we think the following, we think maybe schools should be open, 105 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: but saying this is wrong. Why not use the platforms 106 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: that they have? Why not come out and speak as 107 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: public health professionals about this issue. We know that child suicide, 108 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: team suicide is way up. We know that learning loss 109 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: is enormous. We know that anxiety disorders, mental health issues 110 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: are skyrocketing. Those are all very serious things that you 111 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: would think a public health professional who has an enormous 112 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: amount of influence on these policies would care about. No, 113 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: of course not, because Fauci's constituency is the Democrat Party 114 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: and c an n not the American people, And that's 115 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: why he won't scold them. He scolded you know, your 116 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: your neck of the woods club about football games. You 117 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: scolded people who wanted to enjoy SEC games this summer. 118 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: Where's the scolding? Of the teachers union. We all know why. 119 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: And look, I got an email yesterday. My kids public 120 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: schools went back today in person, not wearing masks. I 121 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: went and talked at my school board back in August. 122 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: But I'm a kid who went to public schools in Nashville, 123 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: and I went to a lot of public schools. I'm 124 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. We're not that great at schools, right, 125 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, certainly not in the context of where my 126 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: kids get to go to school now. And so I 127 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: believe every Republican politician, and frankly, I believe every Democratic politician, 128 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: but they've shown themselves to be totally wrong on this issue, 129 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: and they won't even speak out. We talk a lot 130 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: about how do we broaden the tent of sanity in 131 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: this country, how do we add allies. Every Republican politician 132 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: and every staffer who works for a Republican politician that 133 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: is listening to us right now all over this country 134 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: ought to be firing off as aggressively as they can 135 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: at the teachers' unions right now, because we're talking about 136 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: the third largest school district in America, and it's, like 137 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: I said, it's eighty two percent black and Hispanic. Do 138 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: kids of underprivileged backgrounds in the United States deserve education 139 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: in person or not? This is an existential question that 140 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: has not really been fought for two years. If I 141 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: could go back in time and all honesty, and I 142 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: argued this at the time, I think one of the 143 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: great flaws of the twenty twenty Trump presidential campaign, the 144 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: fact that Biden managed to get dragged across the finish line, 145 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: was because of moms in the suburbs. I think if 146 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: Trump had gone all in in October and November of 147 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty leading up to that election and said every 148 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: school district has to be open for in person learning 149 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: that he would have brought a ton of moms, not 150 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: only white moms, Black moms, Hispanic moms, Asian moms, and 151 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: a lot of dads too, who understand. Look, this is 152 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: the foundation of getting back to normalcy, because if you 153 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: can't get your kids to school, many people can't go 154 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: to work. This is why the overall women's employment rate 155 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: has collapsed in this country. It is the essence of 156 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: failure that we are still fighting these battles. And look, 157 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: I don't know the full legality of what could be 158 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: done from a federal perspective, right, But I do know this. 159 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan did not allow the air traffic controllers to 160 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: go on strike because of the importance of their job. 161 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: If I were right now advising Joe Biden, I would say, 162 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: you come out and talk all the time about equity 163 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: and inclusion. How in the world are you going to 164 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: allow the third largest school district in America to not 165 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: be going back to school over COVID Right now, you 166 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: have to own this. This is your failure. You've had 167 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: a full year to solve it. This is on your watch. 168 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: The Randy Wine Gardens, all these teachers unions that only 169 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: care about themselves, not the kids. It's time for kids 170 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: to be put in front of adults in the lineup 171 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: of who we care about. Way past time. And this 172 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: is such it infuria can tell about my voice. It 173 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: infuriates me. It's never going to happen, as you and 174 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: I both know, as everyone listening to this knows, because 175 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: the teachers unions are among the most important machines for 176 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: donations and votes in the entire National Democrat Party. The 177 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: teachers unions are a commy enclave that work. If you 178 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: look at the donations by enormous donations from teachers unions 179 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: across the country to candidates, as well as of course 180 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: get off the vote efforts, all the things that they do. 181 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: And this is part of the Democrat big city machinery. 182 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: Certainly in a place like Chicago. It's true in New York, 183 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Find me a big city, I'll show you 184 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: teachers unions that get their way that are never going 185 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: to be crossed by the Democrat Party. You're right, Joe Biden. 186 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: If it was about the children, which it's never about 187 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: the children when you're talking about these teachers unions, if 188 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: it was about the children, he would come out and say, 189 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: exactly what what is going on here? I mean, this 190 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: is a moment to show that the Left can be 191 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: reasonable when it comes to COVID restrictions. Of course they 192 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: can't be, and they won't be. And this also raises 193 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: the question, Clay, of you and I are both opposed 194 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: to school shutdowns. In the fall of twenty was considered controversial. 195 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: You and I went to the mat to fight for 196 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: schools to be open, and yet here we are now 197 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: looking at how the teachers unions while the rest of 198 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: society in Chicago is still a lot, Brother, They've they've 199 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: had some noise about this in New York. They've had 200 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: some noise about this from the unions. In LA they 201 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: feel like maybe this is too much. But in Chicago, 202 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: that city machinery, they think they have the ability to 203 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: get what they want. Here, Clay, this raises for a 204 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: lot of us the question of was it ever a 205 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: good idea? Was it ever fair for the teachers' unions 206 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: to shut down these schools? Why did Fauci bend the 207 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: need to them as he did? And of course we 208 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: see now it was never about health or safety of kids. 209 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: It was about lazy adults who have power in the 210 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Democrat Party and some who are neurotics who were terrified, 211 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: not wanting to do their jobs. I want to get 212 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: paid to sit at home on a couch. That's what 213 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: actually happened, and kids suffered because of it. Yeah, and 214 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: when we come back, Buck, I have what I believe 215 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: is a perfect idea for how Democrats should respond. You know, 216 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: tomorrow is going to be insufferable with all the insurrection 217 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: coverage on CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times 218 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: and the Washington Post and all their expose. As I know, 219 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: Trump is not having his press conference right now. I've 220 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: got an absolutely brilliant idea for Donald Trump and other 221 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: Republicans of what they should do tomorrow. I'll tell you 222 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: what it is. In the meantime, Refining your mortgage can 223 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: make a big difference in your life. It certainly has 224 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: for those already taking advantage of the lower interest rates. 225 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: Today's low rates won't last all this year.

Welcome back, Clay Travis buck 247 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: Sexton show. I have the perfect response that Republicans all 248 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: over the country should adopt on January sixth, tomorrow as 249 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: the media is set to lose its mind over the 250 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: anniversary of the January sixth riots at the Capitol. But first, 251 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: talking about kids in schools, and this is directly connected 252 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: to that. Jensaki, if we play cut twenty here said basically, 253 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: schools can't reopen because unvaccinated people are putting kids at data. 254 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: This is all nonsensical. Listen to this. I think what's 255 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: important to step back here is recognized we're still in 256 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: the middle of a pandemic. There are still far too 257 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: many people who are not vaccinated. There are still kids 258 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: who are at risk because there are not enough people 259 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: adults vaccinated, And I think what we're all collectively trying 260 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: to do here is protect more people and save our lives. 261 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: Whether you work here or at the CDC or the FDA, 262 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: everything she said is a lie in that statement, everything 263 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: she said. But kids are not in danger from unvaccinated adults. 264 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: Unvaccinated people, and vaccinated people are spreading COVID widely. But 265 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: here is my theory. I want to I want to 266 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: see what you think about this. January sixth. Republicans are 267 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: gonna mostly just kind of disappear from the Capitol, and 268 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to marinate in the danger. They're going 269 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: to argue this is why they have to change the 270 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: voting laws and democracies at stake and all these things. 271 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump canceled his January sixth press conference. If Donald 272 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: Trump wants to speak out, and I would say this 273 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: for any prominent national Republican figure, the play here, and 274 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: I think it's an important one, is too while the 275 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: Democrats are focusing on a year ago, go to Chicago, 276 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: or draw direct attention to Chicago and all of the 277 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: kids that are not in school in Chicago. Imagine the 278 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: optics if Donald Trump got on a plane, flew to Chicago, 279 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: had a press conference where he said, open Chicago schools. 280 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: All of these kids need to be in person right now. 281 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: Eighty two percent of these kids are black and Hispanic. 282 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: It is indefensible that Democratic politicians are bowing down to 283 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: the unions. And while they're all focused on January sixth 284 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: and the past, I am focused on the future. And 285 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: our country's future is kids in school getting educations. It's 286 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, it's Ron de Santis, it is Greg Abbott, 287 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: it is any national political figure in the Republican Party. 288 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: While the Democrats are trying to draw attention to any 289 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: sixth you counter program with things that are going on 290 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: right now, which is kids not in school. Buck Would 291 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: that not play incredibly well? You got Schumer in Pelosi 292 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: sitting around talking about how democracy's at stake and how 293 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: terrified they were a year ago, AOC's crying that she 294 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: thought she was going to be attacked, and then Donald 295 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: Trump bows up says every kid needs to be in school. 296 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: I think it would be an incredible political moment to 297 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: just have those dichotomies at play at the exact same time. 298 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: I like it. Maybe, I mean, is that not is 299 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: that not. I mean, and I mean hopefully they don't. 300 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Chicago schools they may end 301 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: up opening just because they realize what Lorie Lightfoot doesn't 302 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: want them. She says, they're on unpaid status now, by 303 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: the way, so yes, but you have to see how 304 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: this actually. They could be open as up tomorrow. So 305 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: the first teacher that doesn't get paid is gonna be 306 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: the last. It ain't happening, right, show up calling to account, 307 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: hold them accountable. I would love to see it. It's 308 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: not often we hear stories like the one. Diane, living 309 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: in California, writes to us she tried a product we've 310 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: been telling you about, and it's called Relief Factor.

Massive numbers 338 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: of you out there are overwhelmingly frustrated by the unions 339 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: and what they're trying to do to kids. Just a 340 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: quick note on this, Clay. You know, when we criticize 341 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: the teachers unions, or when I criticize, say, the airline 342 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: attendants who are screaming you to mask up between bites, 343 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: we know there are a lot of people that are 344 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: either teachers or airline attendors or what who are part 345 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: of the solution being, who want to be back in 346 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: the classroom, or who aren't harassing customers unnecessarily for the stupidness. 347 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: Our criticisms are against those who are using their power 348 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: to do the bidding of the apparatus. Same thing with cops, right, 349 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: cops who are going in right now and arresting people 350 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: for not being masked up. I got a problem with that. 351 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean I have a problem with the cops in general, right, 352 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: So I think it's important to draw these distinctions. And also, 353 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if you are not of who we are 354 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: talking about, don't presume that you are right. There's the 355 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: whole Internet is predicated on the idea that you immediately 356 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: take offense and look. Painting with a broad brush on 357 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: any profession is a is always unfair. And I say 358 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: that as a lawyer. In my prior life. People hate lawyers, 359 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: but when you need a lawyer, you're like, oh, I 360 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: love my lawyer. Right. So there are many lawyers who 361 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: are not great stewards of the courts. There are way 362 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: more that are trying to do their best every single day. 363 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: And I think that's true of teachers. I think that's 364 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: true of flight attendants, police, certainly, everybody out there trying 365 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: to do the best job that they can under challenging circumstances. 366 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: But the fact that kids are not back in school 367 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: everywhere in the country, and we should mention it's not 368 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: just Chicago, by the way, Buck, there are Atlanta area 369 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: school kids that are having to go to remote learning. 370 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: There are Detroit Areas school kids that are having to 371 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: go to remote learning. There are many different school districts 372 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: all over the country that are putting their kids not 373 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: physically present in school because of COVID, And in my opinion, 374 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: and I know also in your opinion, Buck, we are 375 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: failing our children. We were doing that several other stories 376 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: that are out there. Joe Biden is going to be 377 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Buck on Capitol Hill tomorrow to talk about January sixth. 378 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: I said Republicans should counterprogram that by saying, hey, we're 379 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: not gonna focus on the past. We're gonna focus on 380 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: trying to get every kid back in school. And there 381 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: are a couple of stories that are out there from 382 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: the world of sports that I think are indicative of 383 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: people losing their mind. We were just talking buck about 384 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: the IVY League and how instead of focusing on data 385 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: and science and leading us out of the insanity of 386 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns and shutdowns, they're actually charging forward even more. 387 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: And a big reason why is they're overwhelmingly made up 388 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: of left wing elites on those campuses, and the same 389 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: thing is true in sports media. And I want to 390 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: read this quote for you a couple of them, because 391 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it. So you know, 392 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: we talked about this quite a bit because it turned 393 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: into a big story. Aaron Rodgers chose not to get 394 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine. Has the Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron 395 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: Rodgers jerseys as Christmas presidents. Yes, we're flying off the 396 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: shelves as a result. By the way, we're number one 397 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: show in Milwaukee. We love all you there. Aaron Rodgers 398 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: not trying to have a big sports argument here, but 399 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: he is the NFL MVP this year. Okay. The other 400 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: case you could be made is for Tom Brady. But 401 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers should be the MVP. His team is number 402 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: one in the NFC. They are the favorite right now. 403 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: I believe to win the Super Bowl in the gambling markets, 404 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: he is the best player. Okay, he missed one game 405 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: because he tested positive for COVID. Many players have missed 406 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: games for testing positive for COVID, whether they got the 407 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: vaccine or not. All right, so there are only fifty 408 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: voters buck who make the decision on who the NFL 409 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: MVP is going to be. Only fifty of them. One 410 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: of the voters went on Chicago area radio yesterday and 411 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: said he would not be voting for Aaron Rodgers because 412 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't think you can be the biggest jerk in 413 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: the league, he said, and punish your team and your 414 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: organization and your fan base the way he did and 415 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: be MVP. He further built on it by saying because 416 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: Rogers had been unvaccinated and spent ten days on the 417 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: COVID list, he said, we're told to pick the guy 418 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: who we think is most valuable, and it's not strictly 419 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: on the field. He hurt his team on the field, 420 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: by the way he acted off the field, They're gonna 421 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: get the number one seed anyway. But what if the 422 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: difference had come down to the Chiefs game where he 423 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: lied about being vaccinated and they ended up getting beaten. 424 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: He said, that's one of the justifications for why he's 425 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: not voting for Aaron Rodgers. How insane is it, buck 426 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: that a quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, who looked at all 427 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: the data like we tell all of our listeners to 428 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: do every single day, recognized that he was not under 429 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: danger himself from COVID, made the decision that he was 430 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: not going to be COVID vaccinated, told his team, told 431 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: all of his teammates, didn't hide it from them, did 432 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: try to hide it from the media because he knew 433 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: it would be a big story. And now these left 434 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: wing losers in sports media, the same people who went 435 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: after Drew Brees. He said, the reason I stand for 436 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: the national anthems because my two grandfathers fought in World 437 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: War Two and I want to honor them. Now they're 438 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: going after Aaron Rodgers, and at least one of them 439 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: is saying publicly, of fifty I'm not voting for him 440 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: because he upset me with his off the field decision making. 441 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm like a foreigner when it comes to the sports media, 442 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: like I don't. It's almost like I have to trends. 443 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: I don't. I've never paid anytench to them. I don't know. 444 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: So when you've been saying, Clay, as we've done the 445 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: show together, they may be or I think you've actually 446 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: they are. They are more left wing. They own the 447 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: national political media. To mean, that's like, that's colder than 448 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: has zero, Like, how is that even possible? Right, you 449 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: can't even get And yet here we are with the 450 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: U Penn situation and the transgender swimmer playing out. As 451 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: you point out, ESPN does no single story on it. 452 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: They don't even you would think they would celebrate it. 453 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: But see, it's not helpful to the narrative this time. 454 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: It's not helpful to the narrative because they're annihilating all 455 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: the women's records and on this issue of of Aaron Rodgers. 456 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: It just goes to show you they are effectively and 457 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: I've been learning this from you in real time as 458 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: we go along, that the sports media is effectively you know, 459 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: it is like ESPN is, as people have derided at 460 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: MSNBC with sports. They are just an adjunct of the 461 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: overall narrative of the left, which is remarkable because you'd 462 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: think that sports would be one place where excellence, winning, truth, 463 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: the things that would be apparent meritocracy for everybody. And 464 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: yet no Aaron Rodgers because he's against the COVID narrative. 465 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we haven't even yet had a wrecketing in 466 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: sports or anywhere else. But you've been talking about the 467 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: positivity and the positive cases on a lot of these teams. 468 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: There seems to have been no willingness to have a 469 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: national conversation about the fact that the vaccines to stop 470 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: the spread did not work okay completely for stopping the spread, 471 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: They're an abject failure for individual protection for those at risk, 472 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: they're good? Are they better than natural immunity? By the way, 473 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: I would like that conversation. I want to know who 474 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: is safer right now to be around someone who got 475 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: the shot six months ago and has not had COVID 476 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: or somebody who had COVID and never got a shot. 477 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: I would like Fauci to answer that question. But as 478 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: we know, the rules also changed all the time. I 479 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: am a tennis player, I'm not bad, pretty goodt got 480 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: a decent forehand serve needs a little work. And you know, 481 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the only sport that I played well, I 482 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: went shooting when I was in Florida with my brothers. 483 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: We like to go to the range. But the only 484 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: sport that I play on a regular basis is tennis 485 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: and crushing commies. If one can say that's a sport. Sorry, 486 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: that just had to But nonetheless, I know a bit 487 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: about tennis and Novak Djokovic is I mean, there's three 488 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: great living tennis players who are all kind of There's 489 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: there's Nadal, Djokovic and Federer, and then of course you 490 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: go back aways there's Pete Sampras for the greatest of 491 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: all time title. But right now I think Djokovic, isn't 492 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: he number one in the world? Yes, and wait a second, 493 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: play there were kind of different rules for him, would 494 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: have came to COVID suddenly and going to the Australian Open. 495 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: So this is this is both ridiculous, dole and sad 496 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: all rolled into one. So Novak Yokovic has chosen not 497 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: to get the COVID vaccine. He already had COVID, and 498 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: like many athletes, he looked at the data. You know, 499 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: athletes are intensely in tune with their bodies, and he said, 500 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: it's not worth me getting the COVID vaccine. So the 501 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: Australian Open is going to start in the next few days. 502 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly, but it's in January of this 503 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: month in Australia, and Australia is not allowing anyone into 504 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: the country unless they've been vaccinated for COVID. Now leave aside. 505 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: How crazy that is. Somehow Novak Yokovic qualified for an 506 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: exemption to the COVID vaccine requirement, traveled from Europe to Australia, 507 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: arrived in the country, and they refuse to allow him 508 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: to enter the country because word got out that he 509 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: got the exemption and people are furious in Australia. And 510 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: so right now as we speak, Novak Yokovic is at 511 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: a hotel at the airport in Australia, being guarded by 512 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: two different security guards, unable to leave his hotel room 513 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: in Australia. They don't know if he's gonna be able 514 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: to play in the tournament. But he got on a 515 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: plane and it's no small flight to go all the 516 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: way to Australia. And now they're not letting him in 517 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: out of his hotel room. It was just too much 518 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: right him in Australia and it's been so disappointing because 519 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: everyone had thought in America, I think the perception was 520 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: that Aussie's are like more laid back breads with a 521 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: better tan, you know what I mean, Like they're just 522 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: sort of they're in the sun, they're at the beach, 523 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: they're hanging out. And Aussie's, it turns out, are creating 524 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: the template even more so than China of the biosecurity state. 525 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: But at least they're trying to be consistent in this 526 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: lunacy because the worst tyrannies we see in this country 527 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: is when they is when they implement these rules based 528 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: upon how important you are, based upon how powerful you are. 529 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: One thing that I think I mentioned this when I 530 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: was in even Miami, Clay so you know, Dkovic obviously 531 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: gets a pass, or they wanted to give him a 532 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: pass because he's so important. But that doesn't think Virus 533 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: doesn't care how important you are. You know, virus doesn't 534 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: care how wealthy you are. Even in Miami, you have 535 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: a lot of the servants. If you will, you know, 536 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: the servant class or people in the service industry who 537 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 1: are massed up all the time. Oh yeah, this has 538 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: become a class marker for a lot of people, because 539 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: why should somebody who's eating dinner not mask up, or 540 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: I should forget to be even eating? Other people say 541 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: you need to have food in your mouth, whatever, hanging 542 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: out at a bar, you should be able to be 543 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: unmasked while somebody else is massed up. It's just about 544 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: class and power at this point. How angry would you 545 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: be if you traveled all the way to Australia they 546 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: had told you that you could enter the country, and 547 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: then when you got there, they put you in a 548 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: hotel room with two armed guards and you weren't able 549 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: to go anywhere. I mean, it would be it's a 550 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: long flight from what I understand. Have you ever been 551 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: I've never been to the land. No. I would love 552 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: to go. I might not ever be able to go 553 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: because I'm not vaccinated. I don't want to travel all 554 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: the way to Australia end up held hostage in a 555 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: hotel room. I mean, Clay, I don't want to have 556 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: to get kind of special ex filtration mission going to 557 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: get you out of your Australian quarantine camp if you visit. 558 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: But I will say, with this audience, we'd have you 559 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: out of their quick I would appreciate that. But I 560 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: was talking about this the other day, the number of 561 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: states that I can even go to. Now we're we're 562 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: trying to think about what we want to do for 563 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: summer vacation. I think Montana is going to be the choice. 564 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: But my wife was like, she's out in Utah right 565 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: now where our two youngest kids skiing, and by the way, 566 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: they're stuck there because all the airlines. This is an 567 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: underreported story too. Everybody's focusing on January sixth in the media, 568 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: but buck they're canceling. There's something like fifteen percent of 569 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: all flights were canceled in the last several days. There's 570 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: so many I've been of our listeners who were traveling 571 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: around the New Year and ended up stuck somewhere they 572 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: didn't want to be. But that's what's going on right now. 573 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: In the meantime, we live in a world where we 574 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: share our data online. An airline ticket, a Little League registration, 575 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: an online purchase, it gets delivered to your home.

You might find out 579 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: months later when your information is being used by a 580 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: cyber hacker. You'll be surprised and heartbroken by how quickly 581 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: they'll make purchases in your name. That's why it's a 582 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: good thing. There's LifeLock. LifeLock helps detect a wide range 583 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: of identity threats, like some of the information you put 584 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: online in the process of a purchase or registration.

Join now by Ryan Gurdusky. 600 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: He's the founder of the seventeen seventy six Project Pack, 601 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: author of They're Not Listening. How the Elites created the 602 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: National Populist Revolution. He's also an expert in redistricting, which 603 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: at times can sound a little bit nerdy, but is 604 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: going to be massive as we go into twenty twenty 605 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: two and try to find out what's going to happen 606 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: in the House and certainly in the Senate. But this 607 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: is primarily a House related issue. Ryan, appreciate you joining 608 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: us earlier today. I believe we are now up to 609 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: twenty five different currently sitting House Democrats, potentially including eventually 610 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi as well, who will not be running for reelection. 611 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: What does let's start there, What does it typically tell 612 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: you when the party in power is having so many 613 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:15,959 Speaker 1: current elected officials decide not to run in the upcoming midterm. Hey, 614 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. I think that even more 615 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: important than a number of members who are retiring. It 616 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: is who who is retiring, And there's a lot of 617 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: members now who are chairman of different committees, which is 618 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: a very powerful position. It comes from seniority. It's a 619 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: position you spend years and years trying to cultivate to 620 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: get on that position. They are retiring so they know 621 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: they won't be chairing those committees anymore. And that is 622 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: a clear sign that that it's not going well for 623 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: Democrats and they can kind of read the writing on 624 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: the wall that they have to they have to leave 625 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: now or lose in in twenty twenty two, or just 626 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: become a member of minority where you have no power. 627 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: Once you go from being a position of immense power 628 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: to have no power is not really worth it. Ryan, Hey, buddy, 629 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: it's Buck. I want know how you think the redistricting 630 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: is going. I mean, here's one Mike Allen wrote just 631 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: earlier today that Wasserman says redistricting is turning into a 632 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: happy surprise for Democrats. Here's here's what I'm hearing from 633 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 1: people who pay close attention to this, and for everyone 634 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: who's listening, this could determine who's in control of Congress. Right, 635 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: So this stuff really matters. Redistricting doesn't sound exciting in general, 636 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: you know, it's not something that gets people to jump 637 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,479 Speaker 1: to the front of their seats, but it has major implications. Ryan, 638 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing is that where Democrats can they go 639 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: all the way and get the best possible deal for 640 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: themselves in their power in terms of the districts they're drawing, 641 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: and in a lot of spots, Republicans are getting a 642 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: little weak. Is that what you're seeing what's going on? Yes, 643 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: So redistricting is depending on what state you're you're you're 644 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: talking about someone by the legislator, it's very partisan, like 645 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: it is in Illinois or Florida, others is by independent redistricting. 646 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: But as we've seen in many states, independent redistricting as 647 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: a very partisan as well. So, first of all, the 648 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: number of seats that are single digit Biden or Trumpets 649 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: seats they went for a three percent for Biden or 650 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: four percent for Trump, they're going to go down from 651 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: about sixty two to forty six. So we'll only be 652 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: like forty six real swing districts left in the left 653 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: in the country out the end of this redistrict thing 654 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: that either went for Biden or Trump. By single digits. Secondly, 655 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,479 Speaker 1: there's a lot of states. Republicans don't control that many 656 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: big big states Texas and Florida. But aside from that, 657 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: the bigger ones New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, they're not 658 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: controlled by Republicans. So Republicans didn't have that many big 659 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: states that they could sit there and they could break 660 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: democratic districts will in. They have a lot of states, 661 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: a lot of smaller states where Democrats are either one 662 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: or two seats that they could have redistricted Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee. 663 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: All these smaller states where they could win one or 664 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: two more democratic seats. Republicans really haven't taken the plunge. 665 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: They didn't redistrict in Yana one, they didn't redistrict the 666 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: soul democrat in Kentucky, and the states like Ohio and 667 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 1: North Carolina. The Republicans have really went for the gut 668 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: gut role and they have seen and now they're being 669 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: challenge in court. But if the court lawsuits gets thrown out, 670 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 1: they'll be fine. In places like New Jersey. For example, 671 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: New Jersey, there are six swing congressional districts in New Jersey. 672 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: Ciddarelli won all six guy running his Republican rapper governor. 673 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: After this election cycles over US redistitions cycles over. Rather, 674 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: they will only be four and that he won, and 675 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: the number of seats that Republicans can possibly win is three. 676 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 1: So if you look at Northern Jersey seats like District seven, 677 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: which was which was a Biden plus tensee, it would 678 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: not be a Biden plus three seat. They'll probably the 679 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: only pick up Republicans have. But New Jersey five, which 680 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: was a Biden plus five, will be BIDENM plus twelve 681 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: point five. Jersey eleven, which was BIDENM plus six, would 682 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: be BIDENM plus seventeen. In South which was Biden plus 683 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: point two, will now be Biden plus fourteen. They've basically 684 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: made all the Republicans push all the Republicans in three districts, 685 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: and then made all the Democrats as as bulletproof as possible. 686 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: In Maryland, there's only one Republican in all of Maryland. 687 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: Is his seat's gonna go from a Trump plus twenty 688 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: seat to a Biden plus point four seat, So he 689 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: was completely registered out of his district. In Michigan, you're 690 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: seeing two Trump seats become two very large Biden seats 691 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: and one Biden seat going to become a Trump seat. 692 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: In Illinois, you have multiple seats that Republicans are going 693 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: to completely wiped out of. Adam Kinsinger's seat is going 694 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: to be going hardcore Democrat. Now seats in southern Illinois 695 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: where it was a Trump plus one will be now 696 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: Biden plus eight, another Trump plus three seat one now 697 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,800 Speaker 1: we Biden plus eleven. Nevada is the same way. Nevada. 698 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: They took one Biden plus twenty five seat and made 699 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: it a Biden plus eight seats. But in all the 700 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,720 Speaker 1: surrounding areas in the two surrounding CongressI disc congressional districts, 701 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: which are swing districts will now be Bidom plus six 702 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: and Biden plus eight. And in California, you have a 703 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: number of seats that in California were contentious for Republicans 704 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 1: to keep, and there'll be a lot a lot harder. 705 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: California thirteen was Biden plus two, it is now Biden 706 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 1: plus eleven. California twenty seven Biden plus ten outs Biden 707 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: plus twelve. These they're trying to make it as hard 708 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: as possible for Republicans to win these seats that they 709 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: have had they've held since the twenty twenty election. All right, Ryan, 710 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: all of those numbers that you just ran through, if 711 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: you were setting in over under right now, what do 712 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: you think the expected Republican pickup would be factoring in 713 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: redistricting now in the twenty twenty two midterms as we 714 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 1: sit here in January. What's a reasonable number in your mind? So, 715 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: first of all, they'll probably be eight to ten more 716 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: Biden seats then there were before them before the redistricting, 717 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: So there'll be but ten more seats that Biden one 718 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 1: that he did not win last time. Even with that, though, 719 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: even with the new Biden seats, Republicans are probably looking 720 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: at a possible thirty seat pickup because there are a 721 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: number of seats that are either that. I mean, if 722 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: you look at the trajectory of the New Jersey election, 723 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 1: the elections out on Long Island, and the elections in Virginia, 724 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: Republicans could very well compete in any seat that is 725 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: less than Biden plus ten, and even in some seats 726 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: that are Biden plus ten, they could probably compete in 727 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: in certain districts with certain candidates. New York is not 728 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: out yet, Pennsylvania is not out yet. Those are in 729 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: Florida is not out of here, and those are big, 730 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: big states of loss of congressmen. So it's still I mean, 731 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to sit there and see in 732 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: waits wain See, Republicans are gonna see big pickups in 733 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: North Carolina, in Arizona, one seat in Montana, one seat 734 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: in Texas, one seat in New Jersey, two in Ohio, 735 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: and one in Maine. And then the rest is really 736 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: we'll sit there and see, you know it. Can they 737 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 1: hold on in New Mexico, the Seoul Republican New Mexico, 738 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: And they hold on in Maryland, the Soul Republican in Maryland. 739 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: If they can, If Republicans can hold onto these new 740 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: tough Biden plus one Biden plus two seats, which is 741 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: not impossible at all, they'll be fine. They'll win the 742 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: majority comfortably by about twenty seats if they If they 743 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 1: if they start losing on these you know, slightly more 744 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: Biden leaning districts, it will be much much tougher it's been. 745 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,919 Speaker 1: Ryan Grdusky, founder of the seventeen seventy six Project Pack, 746 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: author of They're Not Listening. How the Elites created a 747 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: national populous revolution right before I let you go. Schumer's 748 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: talking about a one time exception in the filipbuster to 749 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: get voting rights through. Is he Is he on a 750 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: serious path here? Is this just rhetoric? What do you think? No, 751 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: John Mansion is going to completely put a kabash to 752 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: that in three seconds. I mean, Mansion has basically said 753 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: no change to the filibuster whatsoever. And they really have 754 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: no ab and used to get anything done. January has 755 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: been pretty and January and December have been pretty dead 756 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: months or the Democrats in the Senate, and they know 757 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: they need to deliver a little bit more to their 758 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: constituents and their voters. But looking at looking at were 759 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: going now straight into the general election of the twenty 760 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: twenty two cycle, very little will actually be done at 761 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: this point. It will mostly all probably be judges and 762 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: a few spending bills. But other than that, they have 763 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: no restitution to sit there and get anything done that 764 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: they plan on getting done.
