00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Can't believe how the time's flying, But

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: we are in the third hour of the Clay Travis

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show right now. This is buck An

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: NYC A main man Clay out in Nashville, Tennessee, and

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: we are joined out by Congressman Andy Biggs of the

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: Great State of Arionzona. Congressman, thanks for being here with us, sir, Hey,

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: good to be with you guys. Thanks so much. Clay.

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you, because you have been talking,

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: speaking out for quite some time about the whole situation

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: of jan six as it is now referred to, obviously,

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: to try to draw some rhetorical parallels to nine to eleven. Right,

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: they are making this now a day of remembrance. The

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: Democrats want to use this tomorrow to dominate the news cycle.

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: But before we get into the narrative components of it,

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: you've also, Congressman been focused on raising awareness about the

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: treatment of non violent prisoners who have been held for

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: months on end in solitary confinement without trial because judges

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: say people who are taking selfies in the capital in

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: some cases are a danger to the public. What can

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: you tell us about the jan six defendants that are

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: being held or what is their circumstance and what has happened. Well,

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: I just got off the call with a lawyer for

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: some of the defendants, and you know, it is in humane.

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: There's not normal due process when you start putting people

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: in solitary confinement. This lawyer had one in solitary confinement

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: for four months, another for six or seven months. You

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: start talking about that that is even under international law,

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: claim buck that that is considered torture. And you know,

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: we've received reports of several dietary issues that have gone on.

31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: We've received reports of medical treatment not being received. One

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: of the things that's going on is there's a Latin

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: attempt in dark folks. We're seeing, uh, these people who

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: have public dinders, you know, and the federal post senders

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: they're coming. They hate their clients, their clients have a

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: different political point of view. It's all decognizing as all.

37
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: Basically we're seeing him turn uh like Congressman. Congressman, I

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: think we're going to need to call you back. Yeah,

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: we can't hear it. A little bit of an echo

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: that is coming through. Let's call. Let's get our staff

41
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: to get him back on the phone, Buck Uh. In

42
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: the meantime, as we wait to get a better better

43
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: connection with the congressman, it is such as you point out,

44
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: an unbelievable day, right, Joe Biden is going to be

45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill speaking. They are trying to turn uh

46
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: January sixth into the equivalent of and and and armed insurrection, despite,

47
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: as you well wrote and said, Buck, the fact that

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: nobody has actually been charged with treason or insurrection or

49
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: really very serious, buy in large charges at all that

50
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: would lead to the idea that there was a coup

51
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: in any way if the public, I think, if the

52
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: American people were more aware of the reasoning of at

53
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: least one federal judge for holding people accused of entirely

54
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: non violent crimes. Let's be clear, parading inside of building

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: and obstructing a government proceeding are things that the left

56
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: engages in on a regular basis and actually celebrates, right,

57
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean, never mind trying to burn down a courthouse

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: or actually burn down a police department. You know, that's

59
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: social justice and action according to the Biden voters of

60
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. But here we are now and we're being

61
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: told by judge, by this one judge that they can't

62
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: release them pending trial. Remember the presumption of innocence. Clay,

63
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: you know you're a law school guy, You're a lawyer.

64
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: They can't release them pending trial because of the threat

65
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: of get ready for everybody, another insurrection if some of

66
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: the selfie taking, you know, middle aged folks were allowed

67
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: to actually see their families and not be held in sales.

68
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Congress and Biggs, hopefully we can hear you this time,

69
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: please continue. Yeah, thanks, Sorry that I don't have but

70
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: but here's the the demonize these folks or whether it's

71
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: subtilian induction, some mile of medical hare. And then one

72
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: of the things that really has finished me was that

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: congresson Biggs, we were we really want to hear from you, Sara.

74
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to try you back. I cannot. I

75
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: cannot hear him. Clay cannot hear him. So we're gonna

76
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: have to continue on here. I don't know how hard

77
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: it is to get a member of Congress on a landline,

78
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: but apparently they don't want to call us in from

79
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: the landline, so we'll try another. I will say this,

80
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't even have a landline in my house. So

81
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: I think we're all reliant in some way on the

82
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: cell phone industry, and there's a great uh. I really

83
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: wonder whether at some point this will ever end. I bet, Buck,

84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: you can point even in Manhattan, probably one of the

85
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: most cell phone laden places on the entire planet. I

86
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: bet there's a place you could point to and be like,

87
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: I can't get a signal at this part of the island. Right,

88
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: there's a street corner, There's somewhere I can get in

89
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: my car and if I start to drive, I'm like,

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose you at this particular spot. I don't

91
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: know how that works, but it is the bane of

92
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: existence of talk radio show host forever. That you just read,

93
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: we can't get full cover, at least on TV if

94
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: you get the person calling in that has the the

95
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: fuzzy sound or something, you get a visual. But on radio,

96
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: for all of our listeners all across the country, we

97
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: got we got to have better quality audio. But look,

98
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: jan six Clay, we know what's going to happen tomorrow.

99
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be represented to the CNN audience, to

100
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: the New York Times and Washington Post readership, as though

101
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: an actual coup was underway and was only thwarted by

102
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: the bravery of like that guy who is now a

103
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: CNN contributor, what a shock officer phanone, I believe right,

104
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: oh at CNN, so he can can tribute what more

105
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: stories about that one day, so they'll have him there

106
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: forever on hand to talk about that aborted coup or

107
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: defeated coups, I should say, and how is that supposed

108
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: to happen? To? Guy? To call it an insurrection is

109
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: to suggest there was a concerted effort at the overthrow

110
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: of the United's government, a United States government. How are

111
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: unarmed people a few hundred of them inside the Capitol building.

112
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Some of them did committed vandalism, which is wrong and

113
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: they should be punished. Some of them attack police, which

114
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: is wrong and should be punished. They were unarmed. How

115
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: are they going to overthrow the government? What was the plan?

116
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: That's that's what nobody ever takes the next step for

117
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: what was the act? Okay, let's presume that your argument.

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: I think it's it's what worth stating and emphasizing the

119
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: number of people that are still imprisoned, some of them,

120
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: I believe in solitary confinement one year after this incident,

121
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: when they aren't in any way being charged with actual insurrection, right, like,

122
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: it isn't a legitimate basis in reality to argue this.

123
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: And so no one ever takes the next step to

124
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the extent that any of you listen to CNN or

125
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: read the New York Times, the Washington Post, or watch MSNBC,

126
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: and I will say our audience, a lot of them do.

127
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: They're particularly well able to address what's going on in

128
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: the larger media ecosystem. Note that no one ever takes

129
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: that next step and says, as a result of this,

130
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: it is likely going to have led to some overthrow

131
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: of the government. What the guy who showed up in

132
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: the with the QAnon spear in the in the in

133
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: the fur he was going to somehow overthrow the government?

134
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: QAnon Shayman, I believe is the term that is used

135
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: for him generally in the media. I believe Jacob chans

136
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Lee and he had severe mental illness, right, I mean,

137
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: as you probably could guess based on the way that

138
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: he was dressed. And there's also something that really shows

139
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: you the mindset here. And sure a lot of people

140
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: listening saw this maybe a headline of it. But they

141
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: have done this thing where they've gone back the media.

142
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: I think he was an ap or Reuter's piece. They

143
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: were so supposed to be the you know, the standard

144
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: news media media, not even the New York Times, that

145
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: atorial page or something like that, And they did this

146
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: deep dive into into Ashley Babbitt having some I saw

147
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: that some issue in her life, and there was, you know,

148
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: allegations of harassment, stalking. None of that has anything whatsoever

149
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: to do with what occurred that day. And I would

150
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: just point out that if someone were to write a

151
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: story about how George Floyd held a loaded gun to

152
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the belly of a pregnant woman and now has during

153
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: a home invasion no less, and now has murals all

154
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: over the country of Saint George Floyd, you'd be called

155
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: a racist and you're horrible and how dare you? And

156
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: how could you? Meanwhile, they trash in, you know, after

157
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: her death at the ends of an officer who should

158
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: not have shot her, by the way, but the system

159
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: protects their own. Now they're they're doing a smear campaign

160
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: against her too. So because she's had some emotional tumult

161
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: in her life before, it's not a criminal and he

162
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: didn't hurt you know she has. She hasn't you know,

163
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: robbed banks or murdered anybody, and they trash her. And

164
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: this you should just understand. Whether it's Kavanaugh or just

165
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: an everyday person, they will ruin the reputation. The elite

166
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: media will destroy anyone who stands in their way, no

167
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: matter what they have to do to get there. Well,

168
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: and I think this is why so many people still

169
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: love Donald Trump. And I think to a large extent,

170
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: we are seeing politicians take cues from him. Let me

171
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: just give you an example. Mitt Romney is I believe

172
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: a father of five has virtually nothing in his background

173
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: that is remotely attackable. They went after him with a

174
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: furious vengeance. And I think it's surprised Mitt Romney how

175
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: hard they came after him, and he was not willing

176
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: to throw back punches aggressively in the same way Trump,

177
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: for better or worse, you come at him, He's gonna

178
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: come back at you harder. And I think a younger

179
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: version of Republican has learned from Trump in him. Anyways, Look,

180
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis is in many ways thirty years younger whatever

181
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: than the math is a polished version of Trump. In

182
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: that he will attack back as harder, harder everyone who

183
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: comes after him. And for a long time, that country

184
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: club Republican idea is, oh, I'm gonna be above the phray.

185
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm a good guy. The media knows that, and what

186
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: they don't know is, I mean, look at what happened

187
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: to Brett Kavanaugh. I the guy did nothing wrong at

188
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: all in his entire life, basically as an adult, and

189
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: they made up stories about him when he was seventeen

190
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: years old. You know how they keep changing definitions of

191
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: anti vax now means you don't think you should have

192
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: to get a vaccine every three months or lose your job,

193
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: your livelihood. You know, that's COVID, just for just for COVID.

194
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: They change definitions that this is something that they're going

195
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: to continue to do. This is something you're going to

196
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: continue to see happening. They did this with credible during

197
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: Cavanall credible, all of a sudden, was the opposite. Credible

198
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: allegation was the opposite of that. It is not credible

199
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: when you can't even establish you met someone ever to

200
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: say that that is anyway. So there's no way that

201
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: like that was to me, that was a major tipping

202
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: point in how anyone could argue there was any measure

203
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: of honesty in the in the Democratic Party. That was

204
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: the admitigating. A lot of us were talking at the

205
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: time and the movement about how that made people into

206
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: wartime conservatives because they realize that you have to actually

207
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: win and defeat the other side, because if you're expecting

208
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: any good faith or decency from them, you're going to

209
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: be very, very disappointed. But just onto this January sixth

210
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: and again for a second year, folks, Look, the fact

211
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: of the matter is they're going to exaggerate it. They're

212
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: going to use this as a club, and they're going

213
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: to try to bludge in Republicans with it from now

214
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: until election day because they have nothing else that they

215
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: can run on and talk to you about. They have failed, Biden.

216
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: The regime has failed on COVID, failed on the boarder,

217
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: failed on crime, failed on the economy. So what do

218
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: they do? Clay, It's all about two groups of undesirables

219
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: from here on out, the unvaccinated and the insurrectionists, and

220
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: that just becomes that is effectively the Democrat argument. Those

221
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: two groups of people are who we need to be

222
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: mad at, and that's why we'll talk about this maybe

223
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But my idea of counter programming

224
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: what's going to go on on January six, which make

225
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: no mistake, is basically an infomercial for an exaggerated riot, right,

226
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: But what is actually going to happen, in my opinion,

227
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: that should happen is Republicans should focus on issues that

228
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: are actually at play right now, like over three hundred

229
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: thousand Chicago kids not able to go to school because

230
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: their teachers won't show up for work. Mike Wendell, he

Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Buck do

262
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: you remember the conversation. I don't know if we had

263
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: an on air off air where I was talking with

264
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: you about how I would be really nervous if I

265
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: was the NFL and I had this Super Bowl schedule

266
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: to be played in Los Angeles, have this talk. I

267
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: had that conversation, I think on the air. There are

268
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: reports that have come out since we started the show

269
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: today that the NFL is reaching out to locations including Dallas, Texas,

270
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: to talk about whether they could host the Super Bowl

271
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: in the event that California starts to shut down more.

272
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: Are you confident that is we know omicron is going

273
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: to skyrocket right, California is going to set an all

274
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: time record despite all the taking the virus seriously they've

275
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: done in San Francisco and LA and other market places there.

276
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Are you confident that they're going to be sane and

277
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: continue to allow people to show up in Enmoss big groups,

278
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people to watch sporting events. We

279
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: just saw Stanford in the Bay Area shut down all

280
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: crowds for athletic events there. I would be incredibly nervous

281
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: if I were the NFL about whether LA is going

282
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: to continue to be able to host the Super Bowl.

283
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to be. I think anybody who

284
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: didn't see it that way would be ignoring the history

285
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: and the reality of what we've all been through in

286
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: the Blue States in particular, speaking, which I want to

287
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: take this call because right now it's it's a pretty

288
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: remarkable thing, friends, that they're are people who are being

289
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: told remember how we have the hospitals. You had to

290
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: fire doctors and nurses, particularly nurses. Oh you won't get

291
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: the shot, got to fire them. There's such a risk.

292
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: Now hospitals are saying, even if you actively have COVID,

293
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: if you have symptoms, if you are sick, you gotta

294
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: come into work. They're desperate. Think of how much worse

295
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: that is. Unvaccinated people are gonna be not sick. Ninety

296
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of the time that they're doing

297
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: their work. They're bringing in people who are actively sick.

298
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: We have Elane in Rhode Island. I want to talk

299
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: to you about this one. Elaine, thanks for calling in. Hey, y'all,

300
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: I think I'm making history. I think I'm the first

301
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: person from Rhode Island to call you. You sound like

302
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: you weren't from Rhode Island originally, though that's a Southern accident.

303
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I hear that. Yeah, you're right. I'm an Alabama girl

304
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: that's been transplaying roll Tid Lane, Roll Tide, Roll Tide,

305
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: Rode Tide every day. I've been meaning to say that.

306
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: It was in the news this week. You know, they

307
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: like and off all the unvaccinated healthcare workers, and so

308
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: just yesterday and the news here they've decided that, um,

309
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: if you're a if you've tested positive for COVID as

310
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: a healthcare worker, you can take care of positive COVID patients.

311
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: There we go, which means you're also coming around non Cot,

312
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: You're coming around you know, other people that don't have COVID.

313
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: Let's all be very clear about that, right, But it is,

314
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: it is. It's thanks for to call Elaine. Big game

315
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: for the Crimson Tide against Georgia. By the way, on

316
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: Monday in Indianapoli. It's another big market for US where

317
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: they're hosting the college football National Championship game. But I

318
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: gotta say this, Buck, this is just one hundred percent

319
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: a sign of how desperate you know. The going from

320
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: ten days to five days on the quarantine wasn't about

321
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: anything scientific. It was just about the fear that so

322
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: many millions of people are going to test positive that

323
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: society is not going to be able to function. That's

324
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: maybe we should have been making determinations like that all along,

325
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: judging and balancing instead of running away in fear. That's

326
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: what they want you to do. This month, we see

327
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: the stock market acting erratically and wreaking havoc on your

328
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: IRA and your life savings. You know it's going to

329
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: happen again and soon. Right those days serve as a

330
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: reminder to diversify your savings and retirement investments. Include real

331
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: gold in your plan. It's the best form of protection

332
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: for your portfolio. Buying real gold comes with a sense

333
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: of satisfaction. You actually take physical possession of it and

334
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: hold it in your hands before storing it away safely.

335
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: The Oxford Gold Group, our sponsor, made this process so

336
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: easy for me. They'll do the same for you. They'll

337
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: explain everything to you. You'll have real gold delivered to

338
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: your home or put on your IRA. Just call them

339
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: now eight three three four zero four Gold. Learn how

340
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: you can have real gold in your IRA and delivered

341
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: to your door. That's the Oxford Gold Group at eight

342
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: three three four zero four Gold A three three four

343
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: zero four g O l D. But the big caveat

344
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: is we should not be complacent since the increased transmissibility

345
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: of varying may be of amicron might be overridden by

346
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: the sheer volume of the number of cases. That may

347
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: be a reduced severity, but could still stress our hospital

348
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: system because a certain proportion of a large volume of cases,

349
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: no matter why, are going to be severe. So don't

350
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: take this as a signal that we can pull back

351
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: from the recommendations that you just heard from doctor Olenski

352
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: about the need for vaccination, for boostering, for wearing masks,

353
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: and all the other CDC recommendations. So just to be clear,

354
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: here's Fauci telling you, Okay, yes, all macron is a

355
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: whole lot less lethal and danger than the previous things.

356
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: But if you think for one second, everybody, that means

357
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: you should be allowed to have your droplets freely spread

358
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: in the air. You should no longer be double masked

359
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: with a visor, preferably home, alone in bed, in the shower,

360
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: six feet sixty feet better, six feet good. Do not

361
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: think for a moment you can start to believe your

362
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: life will ever return to normal. I think I got

363
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: it all. I think I got it that as well,

364
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: said I will say this too. Did you watch you?

365
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: I was watching the New Year's Eve celebrations on a

366
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: bunch of different channels, and I thought it was a

367
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: stark contrast. For instance, my home city of Nashville had

368
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: a huge outdoor concert packed full of people, nobody in masks.

369
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: Fox News was down on Second Avenue. They did their

370
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: live broadcast. I though wil Kaine and Pete Hegseth and

371
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: Rachel compost Duffy did a great job hosting that event.

372
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: But Buck, the disconnect between where you are in New

373
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: York City where they had the Times Square socially distant

374
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: celebration going on, And there was one moment that crystallized

375
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 1: for me more than anything else. They had a couple

376
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: propos live on in Times Square. The girl said yes,

377
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: both of them were masked, and they got up and

378
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: kissed wearing their masks. Sometimes you can point out the absurdity.

379
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: I would love for doctor Fauci to be asked to

380
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: your point, Buck, He's never said this is too much.

381
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: Do you believe if a couple outdoors proposes to each other?

382
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: The woman says yes. She slides the ring on her

383
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: finger he does as well. This is a joyous moment

384
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: for both. They're going to have this moment for the

385
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: rest of their life. Do you believe they should kiss

386
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: while wearing masks, given that Omicron currently exists and as

387
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: spreading as it is now. I know there's a family show,

388
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: but I just want to point out that there were

389
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: news stories earlier on the pandemic about how during fun, fun,

390
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: fun time, you know, you were supposed to maintain mask discipline.

391
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: Now not masks for the purposes of you know, whatever

392
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: stuff people are into. Yes, you were supposed to wear

393
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: medical grade masks while you were in the throes of intimacy,

394
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: less your partner infect you with COVID. That is a

395
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: real thing. That's so called public health officials that at

396
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: different points in this we're pushing Clay there is no

397
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: limit to their absurdity and their stupidity, And we keep

398
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: coming back to this. Fauci knows his whole thing, His

399
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: whole secret, Sauce is it's always I'm saving lives and

400
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: that's all I do. And I'll never tell people that

401
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: they should live more normal lives. I would just love

402
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: there's a lot of media that listens to this show.

403
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: I would love for the media to take a challenge

404
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: and try to come up with scenarios that doctor Fauci says, No,

405
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: that's going too far, because when I saw the couple

406
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: getting engaged and kissing each other while wearing their masks,

407
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: which by the way, I don't even know what that

408
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: would feel like, but basically you're just like you're kissing

409
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: the interior of your I mean, it's totally absurdly ridiculous.

410
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: And I have to think that if that couple gets

411
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: married and they stay married for a long time, at

412
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: some point they will look back at their engagement photos

413
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: and say, boy, we were imbeciles. We got engaged and

414
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: kissed while wearing our masks to celebrate. You remember how

415
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: there are some kids, you know, if you went to

416
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: sleepaway camp or when you were in a grade school,

417
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: you know, occasionally be a kid who had a like

418
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: a blanket, you know, like a little blanket that they

419
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: would want to keep with them, as my kids all

420
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: had security blanks, security blankets, right, Okay, then the face

421
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: mask for COVID has turned into effectively an anxiety blanket

422
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: for adults. That's really what this is, really what it is.

423
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: In my building here in New York we have to.

424
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: I do not, but we are supposed to mask. And

425
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: we'll say. The nice thing is every time you walk

426
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: into a gym in New York City and someone is unmasked,

427
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: you've got a freedom brother or freedom sister right there.

428
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: Pacentage of people are masked in the gym. Typically when

429
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: you're going to the gym. Half, i'd say, right now,

430
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: we're in a private gym. It's half. The ones that

431
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: really amazed me are the ones who are on the treadmill,

432
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: because that's if if the mask doesn't bother you on

433
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: the treadmill, you aren't working out hard enough. You might

434
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: as well just go outside and walk on the street.

435
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: You're not, actually, but I'd say, I'd say it's about

436
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: half because Clay, let's understand this the reason that they

437
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: initially put in the vaccine passport system in the gyms,

438
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: because we have to unpack this for everybody, because otherwise

439
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: they just keep moving the goalposts and we're in this dizzy.

440
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: We're the Gerbils on the fount she wheel. We're all

441
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: just running and running and running is fast ena fast.

442
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: It's a horrible nightmare that I have recurs. Yes, but

443
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: you know. What we have is we were told vaccine

444
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: passports will make us safe, so we don't need to

445
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: mask up in gyms. What we have that instituted is

446
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: vaccine passports. And we find out, guess what, now we

447
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: have to mask up anyway in the gym. And they

448
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: don't say the vaccine passports failed the which point you say,

449
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: We'll hold on a second. Why why should we not

450
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,239
Speaker 1: look at this policy differently considering that the promise of

451
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: it clearly failed. They don't care. It is a post

452
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: evidence ero we are in. This is a great question,

453
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: And this is another one that I would love to

454
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: have asked of doctor Fauci. If a million cases a day,

455
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: two years basically into COVID, if wearing masks everywhere, if

456
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine passports, all of these things going on, if

457
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: that is success, what would failure have looked like? No

458
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: one ever points that out, buck right Well, they might say, oh, well,

459
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: it would be so much worse if we hadn't had

460
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: the vaccine, or if we hadn't had masks, or if

461
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: we hadn't had soci No, no, no, we have now

462
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: right now a million cases a day happening in the

463
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: United States. That is almost quadruple the all time high

464
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: of last January. If this is success, if this is

465
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: vaccine success, what would vaccine failure have actually looked like?

466
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: So great? Ques like, just what okay, if we're having

467
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: a million cases you're telling me, and this is vaccine success,

468
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: four times the high we've ever had two years in

469
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: what would vaccine failure have looked like? And there isn't

470
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: really an answer. They don't have their talking points ready

471
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: to even tell us Buck what vaccine failure would have

472
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: looked Here here's a really just a mind blowing thing

473
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: that everyone needs to spend time thinking about it. I

474
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: don't pretend to have all the answers about this, and

475
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: no one has all the answers about it. We've been

476
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: pointing out for some time on this show, Clay that

477
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,239
Speaker 1: more people have died in this country under Biden than

478
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: under Trump. Now that includes about nine months of vaccine

479
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: distribution under Biden that did not occur under Trump obviously

480
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: because we didn't have a vaccine, and it also would

481
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: include a whole lot more natural immunity built up within

482
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: the system just from more and more people getting infected

483
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: over time. No one has really explained that. But let's

484
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: take a step back for a second and think about this.

485
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: If their claim, and this is the claim, is that

486
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: it would have been so much worse without all the

487
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: mitigation and the mask and all these measures, how is

488
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: it that right now we are at an all time

489
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: national high for a caseload with a lot more natural

490
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: immunity vaccinated immunity, and a lot of mitigation measures in place,

491
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: relative to where we were in January last year, with

492
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: no vaccinated immunity and less natural immunity in place. I

493
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: know they're just gonna say, oh, it's because omicron is

494
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: so much more transmissible. They told us don't do was so?

495
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, how much more transmissible can stuff really get?

496
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: And also, why don't we think it's gonna stop with omicron?

497
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: If that's your argument, well, it just kept getting more transmissible.

498
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: Well why isn't there going to be another variant that's

499
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: just as transmissible? Just as ask your most die hard

500
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: vaccine proponent friends say, I understand you're saying the vaccine's

501
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: a big success, it's a million cases. What would failure

502
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: have looked like? I just love to hear the answer,

503
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: because we're at an all time worst case scenario right

504
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: now new year provides a new opportunity to save money

505
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: whenever possible. You know, I'm trying to save everybody money

506
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: because with inflation soaring like it is, imagine what twelve

507
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: thousand extra dollars in your pocket over the course of

508
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: a year could mean for you and your family. Also,

509
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: you get a brand new mortgage, get the opportunity to

Speaker 1: skip a couple of mortgage payments. Look our friends at

523
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: got Attorney General Merrick Garland talking right now about jan

524
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: six live. Let's go to it for a second. See

525
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: what he's saying. Offended and secured the capitol that day.

526
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: They demonstrate it to all of us and to our country.

527
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: What true COURAGEO like their resolve, their sacrifice, and their

528
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: bravery protecting thousands of people working inside the capitol that day.

529
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: Five officers who responded selflessly to the attack on January

530
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: sixth have since lost their lives. I ask everyone to

531
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: please join me in a moment of silence and recognition

532
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: of the service and sacrifice. Okay, let's just all right,

533
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: all right, all right, oh my god? That I mean.

534
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: First of all, when you are the Attorney General, I

535
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: hold you to a higher level and maybe this is

536
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: on maybe I shouldn't even do this, but I hold

537
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: you to a higher level of factual accuracy. No one died, buck.

538
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: They have not been able to connect at all, even

539
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: though the media tried to obfuscate and confuse us and

540
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: make it seem the case. No one died directly who

541
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: was a police officer because of Janey sixth. Right, They

542
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: have tried to make it seem that that is the case.

543
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: But when you look at the autopsies, when you look

544
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: at the reports to all the media that have later

545
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: come out to correct. Did you notice what Marrick Garland

546
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: there said, five people have died since the January sixth incident.

547
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: The only person to die on January sixth violently. Now,

548
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: there were some people who were aged and I think

549
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: had heart attacks or had medical related conditions who were

550
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: involved in the protest and in the riot. But Ashley

551
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: Babbitt was the only person who died in the Capital

552
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: as a direct result of what took place on January sixth,

553
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: and she was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer.

554
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: So what you're seeing there from Merrick Garland as he

555
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: was speaking the Attorney General of the United States, the

556
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: person who Barack Obama wanted to put for life on

557
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, is an intentional misrepresentation. We talk a

558
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: lot about misinformation and disinformation. That is an intentional misinformation

559
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: that is designed to make it appear that five Capitol

560
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: police officers died as a result of January sixth. I

561
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: also remember, because it happened in my own neighborhood when

562
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: there were marauding bands of Biden voting lunatics under the

563
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: banner of BLM, which of course, as we know, didn't

564
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: do anything good for the country and actually made the

565
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: country less safe, and a whole lot more people were

566
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: killed as a result of the pullbacks and support the police.

567
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: But I remember when the same mainstream, so to speak,

568
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I hate that term legacy lib media anchors, we're saying,

569
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, this is what happens when people are angry.

570
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: Who says protests peacefully? Former anchor Former CNN anchor Chris

571
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Quobo with former Governor of New York Cuomo brother bro Cuomo,

572
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: not able to get a handle on things in New

573
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: York City during these riots, Clay there there were federal

574
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: officers who were being intentionally blinded on a regular basis

575
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: with lasers out in Portland by Biden voters. Now, they

576
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: did get their sight back, but would anyone else want

577
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: to try the laser in the eye thing and see

578
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: how they feel about it, you know, go blind for

579
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: a few hours in an eye and see if you

580
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: think that that's These are things. They were having cinder

581
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: blocks thrown them, they were having a pepper spray in

582
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: their faces. Now that's all bad. The only time I've

583
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: ever seen Democrats outraged about violence against police is this

584
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: one day the rest of it is, you know, people

585
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: are oppressed and they're angry. Sorry, cops have to suffer.

586
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: This is why nashes us from many people in the media.

587
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: Buck is we've argued that people who riot, regardless of

588
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: their political motivations, should be prosecuted. The difference here is,

589
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of anybody who was involved in those

590
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: mostly peaceful protests all over the country in the summer

591
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, which we still don't really know where

592
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: the money for the riots came from, where the organizational capacity.

593
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: Nobody's really been prosecuted to a significant extent there. And

594
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not of anybody still being held

595
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: in solitary police confinement over the riots in the summer

596
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. In fact, most of the people who

597
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: are arrested for that were let out with no charges filed.

598
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: And Democratic politicians raised money. But think about this for

599
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: a minute. They raised money to defend anyone who was

600
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: being arrested for those violent protests in the summer of

601
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Kamala Harris said, I will give you money

602
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: so you get basically a get out of jail free card.

603
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: Imagine if Donald Trump, responding to January sixth, that said, Oh,

604
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay everybody's court costs, everybody's legal fees. That's

605
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: what basically happened for many of these people arrested in

606
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: the summer. We've seen who actually gets the Wow. Merrick

607
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: Garlands still going he's such a little hack. It's so funny.

608
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: They try to say, Oh, he's so moderate, let's put

609
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: them on the Supreme a stolen Supreme Court seat. Shut

610
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: up libs. But you know you have the We have

611
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris during the riots in Minneapolis, as you point out,

612
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: advocating for raising bail money for you because you know,

613
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: presumption of inniscence, Let's get them out on bail. Meanwhile,

614
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Rittenhouse, you advocate for bail for him. If you're

615
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: a cop or or anybody, they destroy you, They fire

616
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: you from your job, they shove at your house to

617
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: report on you donating money to his defense fund. This

618
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: is the fundamental separation that we see now throughout the system,

619
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: and it's particularly pernicious in our justice system where politics

620
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: is being infused and all these decisions all the time.

621
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: It is an absolute outrage the fact that the ACLU

622
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: doesn't have its lawyers lying down in the street in

623
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: DC and protest of what's going on with the jan

624
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: six And of course we don't expect them too, because

625
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: the ACLU is a left wing hack organization. But the

626
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: people that claim that they care about civil liberties are

627
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: absent on this Why because the politics of the system

628
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: tell them that you have to destroy everybody who remember,

629
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: not even just the worst offenders on January six. There

630
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: are people that were just there presence. It's glorified trespassing folks.

631
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: And I'd say this too about Merrick Garland. It's particularly

632
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: disgusting to me for someone to spend their entire career

633
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: dreaming probably of being the Attorney General of the United States,

634
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: and then when you get there, being so terrified of

635
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: what people in your own party are going to say,

636
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: that you aren't willing to stand up and do what

637
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: you believe is right. Because I do think this guy

638
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: is not as much of a clown as he is

639
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: having to behave like he is a clown because he's

640
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: terrified of his own justice depart Doesn't that make him worse?

641
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: You can make him worse. He actually feckless and pathetic

642
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: and afraid because he's an old white guy of being

643
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: targeted by his own administration, just like Joe Biden. Honestly,

644
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: it's a disgrace. Jan six is tomorrow. Folks. Come here

645
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: for some sanity, some honesty, some truth. We'll talk to you.

646
00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: Then you're listening to Clay Travis send Buck Sexton on

647
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: the EIB Network h
