1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition, Open Line Friday. 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: I am Clay Travis, he is Buck Sexton. This is 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I am in 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Buck, and immediately upon arriving I landed at ten, 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: they implemented a mask mandate all over the city of 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. At midnight I arrived, I had two hours 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: of freedom walking around in the casino with my wife 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: without a mask on. And then at midnight, boom, the 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: signs all came out. Mask mandate in full effect all 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: over Las Vegas. And it feels like a perfect symbol 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: for what is rapidly becoming and absolute Donnie Brook between 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: COVID mandates and people with brains, as the Delta variant 14 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: is the new Frankenstein. And as a result, all of 15 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: your freedoms that you have fought hard for over the 16 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: last eighteen months, we're going right back in to a 17 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: COVID battle. And I think, Buck, this is going to 18 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: be a COVID battle the likes of which we have 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: never seen before. That's how much of a battle I 20 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: think we are headed for. Between people who are saying 21 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: and look at the data, and people who are insane 22 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: and don't look at the data at all. When you 23 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: have people in Washington, d C. For example, who are 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: masking up even in advance of the official mandate that's 25 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 1: going in place, and you had two people in two 26 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: weeks die from COVID in a city as we talked 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: about yesterday, of well over a half a million people. 28 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: Now we're seeing what we've known all along, Clay, with 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: the folks that are with us here have known all along, 30 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: which is that there is a strain dare I say, 31 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: a variant of lunacy that has been coursing through Democrat 32 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: lockdown or minds for over eighteen months. But now it's unavoidable. 33 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Now they are showing it in a way where any 34 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: normal person would say, hold on a second, what is 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: going on here? The CDC has this data that's supposed 36 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: to be released officially. I think it's going to happen 37 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: as we're on air here where they're addressing what they 38 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: What they're saying now is a big change in the 39 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: war on COVID, And based on the early, the preliminary 40 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: reporting on what this is, it's gonna tell us that yes, 41 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: there are some breakthrough infections. Breakthrough infections are overwhelmingly not 42 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: very serious infections. The vaccines still work quite well in 43 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: general overall based on this is just the CDC data 44 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: for whatever it's worth. But there's panic, Why so much 45 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: panic new York City as I'm talking to you, which 46 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: is fine, y'all for New York panic too. It's unbelievable. 47 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna be claydon are going to be taken masked 48 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: up because what's going to be required photos together next 49 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: week here in New York City. He goes to Vegas, 50 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: the masks come. He goes to New York, the masks come. 51 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: I'm a I've literally left the People's Freedom State of Tennessee, 52 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: landed in LA just in time for their mask mandate, 53 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: literally landed in Vegas two hours before the mask mandate 54 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: comes here. And then next week on Monday night, I'm 55 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: going to get to New York and the mask mandate 56 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: is basically going to be an effect there. So here's 57 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: what I think we need to tell everybody. All right, 58 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: So we've been telling you this was coming, all right, 59 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: So let's use a little bit of data here. What 60 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: is happening is the delta variant is highly transmissible, and 61 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: it is highly transmissible even for people who got the 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: vaccine right. According to the Washington Post story last night 63 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: that broke a lot of the CDC numbers that they're 64 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: going to give out later, they have found that people 65 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: who get the vaccine can still spread can still spread 66 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: the delta variant in particular, just like the unvaccinated can. Okay, 67 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: but that's only for just lear. That's for breakthrough infections, 68 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: which are still as a percentage if you look at 69 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: the New York Post cover today small. But if you 70 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: have a breakthrough infection, you can spead it. Yes, yes, 71 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: and so and so if that happens. And by the way, 72 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: there's an interesting study from a I think it was 73 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: like a family gathering where everybody was vaccinated, and vaccinated 74 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: people were able to spread it to each other, which 75 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: is where all this comes from. Okay, but we already 76 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: have the data in some ways on this. You can 77 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: look at England. Let's use England as an example. England 78 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: had their Freedom Day, I believe on July nineteenth, where 79 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: they effectively opened everything back up, and that was actually 80 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: at the absolute apex of this delta variant infection level 81 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: in England. Since England has opened up, the overall number 82 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: of infections have continued to decline. And the positive is 83 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: the amount of deaths and serious illness and all those 84 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: things has not anywhere near approached the peak in the 85 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: past past fall, past winter. Right, So I think the 86 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: data here is going to reflect, and I think you 87 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: probably agree with me, Buck, there's going to be a 88 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: mass rush to put masks in place to mask kids. 89 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: All of this ridiculousness that is going to have virtually 90 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: no impact on the delta variant. It is going to 91 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: spread in America. It is going to increase the amount 92 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: of overall cases. The amount of deaths hopefully is going 93 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: to be low because there's lots of natural immunity and 94 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: also a lot of people who have been vaccinated. This 95 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: doesn't change any of the advice that I would that 96 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: we've been saying on this show for a long time. 97 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: If you're over sixty five, go get vaccinated, because your 98 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: risk factors are infinitely higher. If your obese go get vaccinated. 99 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: Then everybody else who's younger and healthier. Would you agree 100 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: with most of that, Buck? We try to be as 101 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: honest as we can with our audience, not terrify you, 102 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: let you know what's going on with COVID, Treat you 103 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: like reasonably intelligent adults, which almost no one else in 104 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: media and certainly no one else in politics does. Yes, 105 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: And what we see here is what I've been saying 106 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: and we've been talking about here Clay for the last 107 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: week or so, which is that the panic is actually 108 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: being pushed by those who are at very very low 109 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: risk overall. They just can't actually read numbers in data 110 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: and be reasonable and come to fair minded conclusions about 111 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: what's really happening here. It is not the unvaccinated who 112 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: are the ones that are demanding masks and all these things. Obviously, 113 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: it is vaccinated people. And so they essentially have here 114 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: what is almost like a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. 115 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: They're taking the possibility of something and making it seem 116 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: like that's a reasonable fear for them to have, when 117 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: it's absolutely not reasonable. That's why I think it's so 118 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: important to remember that, Yes, if we think of the 119 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: vaccine almost like a you know, like a barrier, a wall, 120 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: Dare I say, you know, a Trumpian wall, if you 121 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: get infected, if it breaks through and your body has 122 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: an actual infection of COVID, then you can possibly transmit 123 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: this in numbers that are higher than they anticipated, but 124 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: they're still based on the data we've seen so far. 125 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: Breakthrough cases are still a pretty small percentage over on that. 126 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: We don't have perfect numbers on any of this, but 127 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: what we do have good numbers on our hospitalizations and debts, 128 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: and those are still very very low. You brought up 129 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: I think it was in Massachusetts. I think it was 130 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: in Cape cod They had the big family study. And 131 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: this data may come out while we're on air here together, 132 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: so we'll tell you exactly what's in it. But the 133 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: Washington Post is reporting on this group, and I think 134 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: of the hundreds of breakthrough cases that they looked at, 135 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: there were almost none who went to the I mean, 136 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: I think maybe four or five, maybe six or seven 137 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: went to the hospital. No one died. And so now 138 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: we're all supposed to act like like what Clay, like, 139 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: there's going to be a zero risk, a zero COVID 140 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: future that's absolutely never going to happen. And I gotta 141 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: tell you, man, you're coming to New York next week, 142 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: so we're gonna be We're gonna be here in the 143 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: trench of the crazy Libs together. Don't worry. I'll keep 144 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: you safe. I know how they I know how they 145 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: operate here. But we're gonna be in the crazy lib 146 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: trench and trying to deal with all the incoming. De 147 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: Blasio the worst mayor in America. Sorry, Los Angeles, we 148 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: beat you on this one. The worst mayor in America 149 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: is thinking about mandatory vaccinations Clay to get access to 150 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: any restaurant in New York City right now, That's what's 151 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: being considered. What do we do then? I mean, what 152 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: you know they're they're doing the full on mandates through 153 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: coercion that six months ago. They're like, no, no, we 154 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: still believe in medical freedom. No they don't. Well, let's 155 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: listen Rand Paul, Senator from Kentucky who was also a doctor. 156 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: Buck and I just tried to walk you through it. 157 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: But if you listen to this show regularly, we had 158 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: Rand Paul on last week I think it was Buck 159 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: and he was absolutely phenomenal walking us through analyzing the 160 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: vaccine and everything else. Last night, Rand Paul was on 161 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Tucker on Fox News and he had this to say 162 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: about the delta variant. I think this is really good 163 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: data listen closely. Right now, they're going back to masks 164 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: saying it's the delta variant. Well, there's one large study 165 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: out of England from Public Health England, ninety two thousand patients. 166 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: And you know how many people died in the vaccinated 167 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: wing of this under age fifty zero there were fifty 168 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: two thousand people unvaccinated. How many people died six That 169 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: works out to point zero eight percent less than the 170 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: flu that's underage fifty. Over Age fifty was about half 171 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: as many people died as we're dying last year. So 172 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: the delta vari is more transmissible but less deadly. But 173 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: if you say that, Facebook will take you down. They'll 174 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: chastise you, take away your birthday and say you're spreading 175 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: this truth. But it's absolutely factual. The delta variant is 176 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: more transmissible but far less deadly than the virus from 177 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: last year, and you will get shut down on social media. 178 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: It's already happened. Dave Ruben got kicked off of I 179 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: believe it was Facebook for saying something that was I 180 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: read it several times entirely factually accurate. At this stage, 181 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: there are others who have had who have had similar 182 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean I've had it in the past. I'm probably 183 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: gonna get in the next few days. But because Clay, 184 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,359 Speaker 1: here's where I think we really are. The most hysterical 185 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: and most authoritarian have gotten their way for so long 186 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: that their panic is just now central, like they can't 187 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: get away from it. This has become normalized in their brains. 188 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: Their emotional disturbance is now supposed to affect all the 189 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: rest of us too. We cannot because I still stand 190 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: by what I've been saying for the last few weeks, 191 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: which is that you're going to see this big church 192 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: in cases and then you're gonna see a big drop off, 193 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, but probably about mid August, and everyone's like, oh, 194 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna say it's because of the masks, which 195 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: is crap. And they're gonna say it's because of you know, 196 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: the Vegas restrictions in the LA in New York. It's 197 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: not true, that's not the reality. But if we don't 198 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: fight this battle now when we go into the winter, 199 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: now we're talking straight up lockdowns, business closures in a 200 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: preemptive fashion from these Biden voting lunatics. And that's what 201 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: we have to fight against. And not only that, by 202 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: the way Australia, did you see this has called out 203 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: their military and we're gonna talk about this too. We're 204 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: gonna open up the phone lines because this is an 205 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: open line Friday.

I am Buck and Wow. I am 239 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: pretty stunned at how quickly the crazy has spread in 240 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: the last week or two. But then again, we've sort 241 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: of been seeing it all along. Now it's just out 242 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: in the open and we're gonna take you through some 243 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: of the nuttiest, some of the craziest things that are 244 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: being said by people that you're supposed to listen to. 245 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: According to the Democrat lockdowner Biden voting apparatus out there, 246 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: you're supposed to do what you're told by folks like 247 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: the Surgeon General Vivek Murphy, who wants you don't know 248 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: that parents are gonna have to if you want to 249 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: be safe, you're gonna have to mask up at home, 250 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: even if you're a vaccinated parent, by the way, because 251 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: your kids aren't vaccinated. For example, if you happen to 252 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: have a lot of interaction with folks are unvaccinated. Let's 253 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: say you're a parent like me olazion of children at 254 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: an unvaccinated that's a circumstance. We're being extra cautious and 255 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: wearing that mask even if you're fully vaccinated. Wearing it 256 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: outside when you're an indoor public locations is an extra 257 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: step to protecting those at home play. This is nuts. 258 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no This isn't like a political dispute 259 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: where they have an opinion. We have an opinion. Maybe 260 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: they're right, maybe we're right. They're actually just nuts. Now, 261 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: this is this is crazy. I mean, if you are 262 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: living at home with your kids and you are wearing 263 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: a mask, inside of your house, I legitimately question whether 264 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: you are a same person. I mean, think about think 265 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: about pre COVID. If you would ever walk walked into 266 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: someone's house and the parents had been sitting there in masks, 267 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: First of all, you would think you were in some 268 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: sort of dystopian horror film. You walked in, the parents 269 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: are sitting there in masks, and you were like, Hey, 270 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: what's going on here? And the parents said, we're afraid 271 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: of getting our kids sick inside of the house, so 272 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: we're wearing masks. You would be like, I feel like 273 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: I need to report these people to child's services because 274 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: what they are doing is so transparently crazy that I 275 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: worry about the kids. And that would be a totally 276 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: reasonable perspective. And it's still a totally reasonable perspective here 277 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: today too, because this is madness. I mean, this is 278 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: the guy who is in charge of giving advice on 279 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: medical related issues of everybody in the entire world. Joe 280 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: Biden picked this guy, or more accurate, well, Joe Biden 281 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: chief of staff, and the people who actually run the 282 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: administration pick this guy. But still I'm sending its crazy. 283 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm sending an angry letter to the handlers around Biden 284 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: that decided that this was the right because they're the 285 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: ones that are actually making these decisions, as we all know. 286 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: But I'll also say there are other voices out there 287 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: that are telling you, Oh, you think it's crazy, now 288 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: it's going to get even crazier. Here's the former surgeon 289 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: general under Trump telling you get ready for hospital closures. 290 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: Here's why. From Corton. Our hospitals are starting to fill 291 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: up yet again, and that puts us at risk of 292 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: not being able to get elective surgeries done. That puts 293 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: you at risk if you have a loved one who's 294 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: going in the labor of not being able to have 295 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: a BET in the hospital, if you get into a 296 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: car accident up not having an ICU BET. Hospital capacity 297 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: is starting to be threatened yet again. Closures are coming 298 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: your way. Whether you want to believe it or not. 299 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: I'm begging your viewers to understand that we can live 300 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: with this virus. We have tools to live with this virus, 301 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: but we all need to come together and cooperate, and 302 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: we quite frankly need more cooperation, less politicization, and more 303 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: communication from the federal government. No I choose, I choose 304 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: non compliance. Actually, I choose non cooperation at this point 305 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: wherever I can, because we've we've done all the things 306 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: we've been promised that this is the you know, the 307 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: vaccinated period we went through. Here, You've either gotten or 308 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: you haven't gotten it. People have made their choices. That's it, 309 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: game over, Clay. But to say things like the hospitals 310 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: are going to be over capacity, we have never all 311 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: the people at every stage of this who have said 312 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: hospitals will be overrun that has not occurred. Once they 313 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: keep that was the That was the entire thesis for 314 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: fifteen days to slow the spread, which was eighteen months 315 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: ago now, was that hospitals were going to get run over. 316 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: It hasn't happened anywhere in the United States, and it's 317 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: certainly not gonna happen.

And 342 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to hit you with credit to the New 343 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: York Post because I think sometimes it can be a 344 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: little bit overwhelming to just hear the numbers. And they 345 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: have a great visual that we will tweet out and 346 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: you can come see it yourself at Clay Travis. You 347 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: can share it with your friends. But that front page 348 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: of the New York Post just says insanity with an 349 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: exclamation point, and it says there are right now a 350 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one million vaccinated US residents. Of those, 351 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: so far, five thousand, six hundred and one people have 352 00:19:52,840 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: gotten breakthrough COVID and were hospitalized with breakthrough COVID. That number, 353 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 1: so far, one thousand, one hundred and forty one have died, 354 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: which represents point ooo seven percent. Now, the death rate 355 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: in general from COVID is not very high, as you 356 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: heard Rand Paul say, for anyone under the age of fifty, 357 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: we would encourage and continue to say, if you are 358 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: over the age of sixty five, you need to get 359 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: a COVID vaccine. But this is getting pretty aggressive. Joe 360 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: Biden yesterday said you can play cut eleven here. He's 361 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: researching whether the federal government can mandate everyone in the 362 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: entire country to get the COVID vaccine. Well, i'd like 363 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: to see them continue to move in that direction. And 364 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: that's why I've pointed out I had asked the Justice 365 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: Department to determine whether that is they're able to do 366 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: that lencally, and they can, local communities can do that, 367 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: local businesses can do That's still a question whether the 368 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: federal government can mandate the whole country. I don't know 369 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: that yet. So we're at a point where deaths are 370 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: down a huge percentage massively, you know, eighty ninety percent 371 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: on a daily I mean, they're just it's completely a 372 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: different story now than it was. One hundred and sixty 373 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: million people have gotten the shot. Five thousand breakthrough cases 374 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: is what they're they're talking about at this point, out 375 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: of a hundred and sixty million. I mean, I think 376 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: clay at some level, people just have a hard time 377 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: even thinking visualizing about what a small And that's why 378 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: that New York Post cover I think is so helpful, 379 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: because this is like saying that you know, you're you're 380 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: looking at a beach and there are a couple of 381 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: grains of sand, and you're worried about those grains of 382 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: sand and not looking and enjoying the whole beach. It 383 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: is just madness. On display. But you're also seeing here 384 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: what we've been trying to warn people about all along, 385 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: which is there's an authoritarian pulse behind all of this. 386 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: There are people that really believe the power that they 387 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: have to force you to get the vaccine, to force 388 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: society to be healthy and safe, is important, is necessary, 389 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: and they don't want to give it up. They don't 390 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: want to let this go. They've convinced themselves that they're 391 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: the you know, the lockdowners, the fauciots, are the good people, 392 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: and that they make the rest of society safer and 393 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: better by making sure everyone bends the knee and does 394 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: exactly what they say. And they're wrong, and we have 395 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: to tell them and we have to fight against this. 396 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: I heard from some people in Congress today, Buck, and 397 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: I don't know whether I buy this one hundred percent, 398 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: but they said the delta variant sudden panic is about 399 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: giving cover to the Democrat wildly crazy budget that they 400 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: think people will pay much less attention to all the 401 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: budget process if suddenly we're back in a battle over COVID, 402 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: and there is if they were really diabolical enough to 403 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: use this as an opportunity to make the battle over 404 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: masks to make the battle over vaccinations to shift everybody's attention. 405 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 1: That would be maniacally duplicitous of them. And I'm not 406 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: sure that I buy into that, because I don't think 407 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: they're they're strategically evil enough to think of that in 408 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: this way. But I think what really is happening is 409 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: people can't let go of COVID. Just like Democrats can't 410 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: let go of Trump. They can't let go of COVID 411 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: because Trump and COVID define them as good people. Right, Yeah, 412 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: this is so elemental to the left wing thought process. 413 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: They wear a mask. They're not trying to kill your grandma, 414 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: unlike all those stupid Trump people who want your grandma 415 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: to die. This is what virtue signaling writ large looks like. 416 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: And they can't give it up. They just can't let 417 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: go of COVID. And we've told you this was going 418 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: to happen, but the rapidity with which it has happened 419 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: is really astounding. And here we are now where we 420 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: should all just be celebrating a summer of freedom and 421 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: no more unnecessary worry about COVID out there, and they're 422 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: clearly clinging to it for reasons as we've been discussing 423 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: power and authority in the collectivist mindset, the mass mobilization 424 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: that Democrats have always loved that formulation governing through a crisis. 425 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: The Obama administration like to govern through a series of 426 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: crises as much as they could, and to leverage it 427 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: so that you can get people to make decisions based 428 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: upon the fear that they feel instead of the sense 429 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: of what's actually best for the country. And I do 430 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: think that while there are a lot of what you're addressing, 431 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: I think clay is the people that feel good about 432 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: this and the cynical authoritarian impulse on display, there is 433 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: also a large contingent in this country. I mean, no 434 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: one can really ever say, but it's clear there are 435 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people for whom watching too much CNN 436 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: or MSNBC, reading the New York Times, the Washington Post 437 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: every day has created a deep seated psychological and emotional 438 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: trauma about the mitigation measures and how important it is. 439 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: And this is why, I mean, you walk around we 440 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: don't have mandates yet in New York City for masks. Again, 441 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of masks out there. So some 442 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: of the people do it because they think it shows 443 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: that yeah, you know, I watch matt Ow and love 444 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: fake Tapper, but other people do it because they sit 445 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: there and they're truly no longer able on their You know, 446 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: a lot of them are very smart folks, and you 447 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: can talk to you about a whole bunch of things, 448 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: but they're lockdowners, and they're no longer able to see 449 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: what's really happening around them. They're irrational. It is a 450 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: mass hysteria. It's on display for all of us, it 451 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: really is. And I hope, you know, I've been talking 452 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: about this for a long time, Buck, and I know 453 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: we've talked about a little bit on the show. But 454 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: I hope that in the years ahead we get a 455 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: full accounting for how much of what happened was madness. 456 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: And you know, I'll use Vietnam as an example here. Vietnam. 457 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: All of the experts told us that we had to 458 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: do this. They shared the data on why fighting in 459 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: Vietnam was so important, and you know, decades later, most 460 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: people look at all the data on Vietnam and say, 461 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: we made a bad mistake. There's a consensus. Will that 462 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: ever happen with COVID or are the masked imbeciles out 463 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: there so committed to their version of the truth, that 464 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: they'll never acknowledge what the data showed, and that people 465 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: like you and me who said all the way back 466 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: in March of last year, here's what we need to do. 467 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: People who are under sixty five, based on the data, 468 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: need to pretty much go on living their lives as 469 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: we do now. And people who are over sixty five 470 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: or have severe health related issues, we need to protect 471 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: and isolate those people, particularly at nursing homes, the best 472 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: we can. That's what should have happened for the past 473 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: eighteen months. We're still there. That's what the data has 474 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: told us. And it's like people won't acknowledge what the 475 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: facts are because they're so caught up in what I 476 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: call COVID fear porn that they won't allow rationality to win. 477 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: And we could look at one hundred years ago with 478 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: the Spanish flu Spanish influenza and the usage of masks 479 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of the fights over how to deal 480 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: with this, and they didn't wear masks afterwards for flu season. 481 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: We have run the experiment before, but we in a 482 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: moment of panic, in a moment of just mashysteria, people 483 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: were no longer able to look at what we have 484 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: known up to this point, and that was true of 485 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: the entire lockdown process. This is not often spoken about 486 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: these days for obvious reasons, but the CDC and other 487 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: public health bureaucracies had looked at the possibility because there 488 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: have been people raising the alarm, especially after Stars, you know, 489 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: the first Stars outbreak and swine flew. They've looked at 490 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: where we are now, where you have a pandemic and 491 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: a highly transmissible Aerosolis virus, and they always came back 492 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: to the same conclusion, which was lockdowns probably won't help 493 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 1: very much and we'll have enormous costs. And then when 494 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: we were finally faced with the issue, we were at 495 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: a point where they said, you know what, everything we've 496 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: known up to this point, let's throw it out.

What's happening across the country. 529 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: And you have Deblasio, the mayor of New York, America's 530 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: largest city. I know if you live in Texas or 531 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: Florida or Red State, you're like, yeah, that's your problem. True, 532 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: but it's being replicated in other places. He's actually saying, 533 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: forget about Biden and the federal government mandating it, which 534 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: by the way, would affect all of you. Right, So 535 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: that's I don't think they're gonna well, I don't think 536 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna do it, but they're talking about it in 537 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: New York City though, Clay, they are crazy enough to 538 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: do this. They do not care about the facts, the data, 539 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: the science. If they want to make you, they will. 540 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: Here's the mayor of New York. Should we take this 541 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: to mean, Mayor that you are going to try to 542 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: move to have all restaurants in New York City do 543 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: the same to mandate vaccinations. Look at this point, Poppy, 544 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 1: given everything we're learning about the delta variant, all options 545 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: are on the table. I keep saying, we're climbing the 546 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: ladder in terms of more and more mandates, tougher and 547 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: tougher measures to make sure that people are vaccinated. What's 548 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: going to happen, bluntly, is that folks who are vaccinated 549 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: are going to be able to experience all the things 550 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: that they love in the life of the city in 551 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,239 Speaker 1: this country, and folks who are not going to not 552 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: vaccinated are going to find that too many things that 553 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: they want to do they can't do unless they are vaccinated. 554 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: That has to be the reality because people will respond 555 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: to that. We all understand human nature, so especially younger 556 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: people who are the group that are most unvaccinated, if 557 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: they can't do the things they want to do, they 558 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: will find their way to vaccination. First of all, Clay, 559 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: all those young New York City Trump voters, Yeah, they're 560 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: really the prey, right, It's all the Trump voters that 561 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: have you believe, Sure I live here, there's not a 562 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: lot of them. The other thing, though, I just want 563 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: to tell you, you you know what the seven day average 564 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: in New York City for deaths is right now from 565 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: COVID three what It's just, it's it. I just it's 566 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: hard to say anything other than we are in the 567 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: grips of COVID madness that has spread across much of 568 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: the country. It's like, I don't know that there's any 569 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: comparable situation that any of us have ever seen in 570 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: our lives, Like, can you think of anything, but I mean, 571 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: in all honesty, anything like this. I mean, it's difficult. 572 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: We're both history guys. It's difficult to even go back 573 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: through American history and point to anything like this, right, 574 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 1: I mean, as I'm I'm a big believer that history 575 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: oftentimes cycles through as I know you are, and that 576 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: you can learn a lot about where we're going by 577 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: seeing where we've been. But even when you talk about 578 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: like the nineteen eighteen nineteen flu, none of the stuff 579 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: that we're doing now was at all similar to what 580 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: happened in eighteen and nineteen with the flu, and that flu, 581 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: by the way, was far more deadly than anything a 582 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: five day, five percent plus fatality rate, including in the 583 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: second wave of the Spanish flu, going after people aged 584 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: twenty to forty specific gong and having a people were 585 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: dying in hours. They were dying. They would get it. 586 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: They'd be dead within six hours, eight hours. I mean 587 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: it was it could rip through a population very quickly. 588 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: So and then the Roaring twenties came afterwards, right, I mean, 589 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: America just moved back on with life after it went through, 590 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: and now here we are still dealing with just utter madness. 591 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean that, I honestly, Clay, I thought it would 592 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: be a little higher. I'm looking at the New York 593 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: Times update of the CDC data right now for New 594 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: York City. Deblasio was saying, you can't go to restaurant 595 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: less you're vaccinated. They're fringing upon liberty's freedom, individual choice 596 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: in mind blowing ways. Three people dead, I mean, honestly, 597 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: I wonder how many people, and I really mean this, 598 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: how many people have been shot in New York City 599 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: in the last seven days. Probably more than three, way 600 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: more So, you know, let's we want to bring in 601 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: some voices here from all across the country to Chris 602 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: in Florida, tell us what you saw, Hey, what's up 603 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: playing bucks? So down here in Broward County, they tried 604 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: to force masks on these children again, and we showed 605 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: up in masks. I talked about this on your show 606 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: last week. We had a mask burning in front of 607 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: the Broward school Board. Then we went in to speak. 608 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: We would not wear masks. They shut the meeting down 609 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: and band us from the building and called us insurrectionists. 610 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,280 Speaker 1: Can you believe it for not wearing masks in a building. 611 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: The next day we came back, they had us all 612 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: segregated outside and only allowed ten of us to speak. 613 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: God our great governor today stepped up and we'll be 614 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: assuring an executive order to ban en fortunate.
