1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of the program. Appreciate all of you hanging 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: out with us as we roll through and discuss all 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: of the issues of the day. Right off the top 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: here Joe Biden currently speaking on inflation. We will pull 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: any cuts from that that are relevant. There are a 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: ton of stories out there that are continuing to percolate. 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: Among them, we'll talk about this inflation. Biden address also 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: abortion scare tactics that are spreading widely in the wake 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: of the opinion that has been proposed by Justice Alito. 12 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: I think it's important for Republicans to start to address 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: some of these scare tactics. We have continued speaking of 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: scare tactics, marching going on in the front yards and 15 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: basically the front lawns, nearly front streets of many Supreme 16 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: Court justices. Why is that being allowed to continue, considering 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: that there is a federal law to keep it from continuing. 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: The NBA, Buck and I want to hit on this 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: a little bit later. But the NBA which pulled its 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: All Star game out of Charlotte North Carolina because of 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: a transgender bathroom bill that they did not like. Is 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: going to be playing actual games in the United Arab Emirates, 23 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: where homosexuality is punishable by death. Seems to be a 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: bit of hypocrisy there as it pertains to the NBA. 25 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: But we begin with the biggest issue that continues to 26 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: dominate the American political sphere, and it is inflation. Tomorrow 27 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: we will get a reading on the month of April 28 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: to see whether or not inflation has accelerated or decelerated 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: a bit from a forty year high of eight point 30 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: five percent. What will not change, however, is Joe Biden 31 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: is going to continue to come up with a shifting 32 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: rationale under which he bears no responsibility for the policies 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: that he has implemented that have helped to ensure that 34 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: the United States has one of the highest inflation rates 35 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: among Western democracies. And it's worth noting, as Biden speaks 36 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: and we begin this show that it wasn't very long 37 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: ago that Joe Biden claimed his infrastructure bill would help 38 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: to stop surging inflation. In fact, this was just November 39 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. Basically, every single policy idea including 40 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: build back better. Joe Biden has tried to argue that 41 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: by spending trillions of dollars, inflation will get better. Here 42 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: is Biden. In November of twenty twenty one, the House 43 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: of Representative passed my Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. On on other 44 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: plans that I'm advancing, this bill is going to reduce 45 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: the cost of goods to consumers, businesses, and get people 46 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: back to work, helping us build an economy from the 47 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: bottom up, in the middle out where everybody's better off. 48 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: You know, I'm tired of this trickle down economy stuff. 49 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: If only we had trickled down economy. What does he 50 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: think is the only thing trickling down from Biden is incompetence. 51 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: It's amazing to watch this in real time, claim I, 52 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: and I can see on the screen you've got lowering costs, 53 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: tackling inflation. The Democrats really do seem to believe, and 54 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: maybe it's just because their own ideology boxes them into 55 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: this and they can't find a way out from it, 56 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: that the way to lower costs and tackle inflation is 57 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: to have the federal government spend more money. Oh and 58 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: of course, to raise a whole lot of taxes. Which 59 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: is something that they're not talking about very much now, 60 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: but they will be by all means if they if 61 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: they can find themselves in a position to actually pass 62 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: legislation to do that, they will and I think that 63 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: that's probably going to happen. But they keep saying, now, 64 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: Biden's big talking point is, well, there's the Putin price hike, 65 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: which he said during the speech, which he's given right 66 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: now as we're talking to you, And they've got the 67 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: little the actual talking points behind him, lowering costs, tackling inflation. 68 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: And then I listen to him, I go, none of 69 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: the things that he's saying will do either of those things. 70 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: They will actually make inflation worse and they will make 71 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: costs higher. They are this is a little bit like 72 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: the paradigm of defund the police. Defund the police is 73 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: only going to make crime worse and make everybody less safe. 74 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: But they kept saying, oh no, no, just just give 75 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: this defund thing more time, treated more seriously, spending more 76 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: money when you're in an inflationary period, as you pointed out, 77 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: the worst inflation we've seen in forty years, is only 78 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: going to make the problem worse. But they refuse to 79 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: accept that they're wrong. I mean, that's really what this 80 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: comes down to. It. So it's like the mask issue. 81 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: They will not turn around and say, hold on a 82 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: second government. Additional spending will simply make things that are 83 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: already getting bad far worse than they would otherwise be. 84 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: So that's why I think we're just seeing the beginning 85 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: of this. I think that you're going to see a 86 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: really rough summer going into the fall, with the markets, 87 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: with inflation, with the price of food, the price of gas, 88 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: it's all gonna be a nightmare for the Democrats. Look, 89 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: we hit yesterday a low in the SNP five hundred 90 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: going back to March of twenty twenty one, and we 91 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: are becoming perilously close to going negative for the entire 92 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: Joe Biden administration. And we have continued to talk about 93 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: this buck but the incompetence of Biden on every single front. 94 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: This is what I would ask everybody out there. It's 95 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: a simple question, but it goes to the essence of 96 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: very many political elections. How many people out there are 97 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: better off now than they were when Donald Trump was president? 98 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: How many of our listeners are better off today than 99 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: they were the last day Donald Trump was president? On 100 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: January nineteenth, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. I don't think 101 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: there's very many. And it's not just Republicans, it's independence, 102 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: it's Democrats. If you took away, to your point, Buck, 103 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: the preexisting party alliances that are out there whereby a 104 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: certain percentage of people are just going to refuse that, 105 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: to refuse to acknowledge that things could be worse because 106 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: they're so died in the wool in supporting the Democrat Party. 107 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: Nobody really supports Joe Biden. They support the fact that 108 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: a Democrat is in office. If you take away those people, 109 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: and even those people, if you gave them truth saram 110 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: and you ask them, hey, really, let's be honest. Were 111 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: you better off when Trump was president or you better 112 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: off when Biden's in office? I think one hundred percent 113 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: of Americans would have to acknowledge that Joe Biden has 114 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: failed on every single front. He's failed on the border, 115 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: he's failed on international relations, he's failed on inflation, he's 116 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: failed on crime. I just think we have to keep 117 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: beating this. He's failed on COVID, certainly, he's failed on 118 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: kids being better off because of COVID. I just think 119 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: we have to keep beating this drum because there isn't 120 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: a story that Republicans can lose on when it comes 121 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden's performance in office, and I think they're 122 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: recognizing it. It's very big brother esque. Buck to your point, 123 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the screen and they have all these 124 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: messages that they're trying to get across behind Biden through 125 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: just repetition, as if he has an answer in any 126 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: way for what's going on with inflation. His answer for 127 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: inflation is spend more money, which is truly the worst 128 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: thing that could happen for the government right now. There's 129 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: no way the Democrats can hold on to a majority 130 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: in the House or the Senate with the I mean, 131 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: we know they're going to almost certainly lose the House, 132 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,559 Speaker 1: but I don't think they could even hold the Senate 133 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: majority if this current trend economically continues. I mean, when 134 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: you look at the data, just so everyone knows, this 135 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: is not just like Clay and Buck we think. I mean, 136 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: you look at Biden right now. I said this to 137 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 1: clayby force. I'm gonna say this to all you because 138 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: we're all part of the same Clay and Buck family here. Okay, 139 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: this guy as president is absurd. I'm just gonna he's 140 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: not up for this. He was never a very bright guy. 141 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: He is way too old for the job. He looks decrepit. 142 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's true, and I mean that in terms 143 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: of not cognitively physically capable of doing this in a 144 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: meaningful way. And Democrats act like everything's fine. I'm sorry. 145 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: The emperor has no clothes and people are realizing this. 146 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: There's a CNN poll not you know, right wing crazies 147 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: dot com y CNN poll last week, eight and ten 148 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: adults said the federal government wasn't doing enough to curb 149 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: inflation seven and ten and the Democrat Party seven and 150 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: ten Democrats approve of Biden on the economy. Eighty six 151 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: percent of Democrats overall approof of his performance. These the 152 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: people whooed for Biden, don't seem to understand the cause 153 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: and effect of what they keep saying. The federal government 154 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: can't solve this, The federal government isn't doing I'm sorry, 155 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: isn't doing enough to solve this. They don't staying the 156 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: federal government is causing the problem, and Joe Biden's management 157 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: of the federal government's causing the problems. So Democrats are 158 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: in denial and delusion about this. The numbers with Independence 159 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: though and Republicans in the tank. You look at overall 160 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: approval of the economy nationwide, everyone recognizes these guys don't 161 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They simply don't have the skill set, 162 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: they don't have the vision, and their ideas are crappy. 163 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: You just I mean, I just looked at the Build 164 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: Back Better framework, Clay. It's really straightforward. Spending a whole 165 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: lot more money, giving universal PreK. Think of it, the 166 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: size of that. You're basically going to expand out the 167 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: federal school system, right the Department of Education and the 168 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: Universal PreK. That's just gonna be a whole new entitlement, 169 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: more money, more spending. It's just gonna get worse and worse. Yeah, 170 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt, and I'm not sure 171 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: where they're going to be able to make arguments going forward. 172 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: The best thing we can do, and I mean this 173 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: for the country, is run out the clock on Joe 174 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: Biden in twenty twenty two, essentially, don't allow him to 175 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: pass any more truly substantive bills. Now we can get 176 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: into a big debate about what exactly counts as substantive. 177 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm not happy that we're spending forty billion dollars plus 178 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: to give Ukraine aid when our moms can't find a 179 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: baby formula. Baby formula out there on the shelves right now. 180 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm not happy that we're sending Ukraine forty billion dollars 181 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: to help protect their borders when we won't protect our 182 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: own southern border. I think there are many reasons why 183 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: you can be angry about the way money is being 184 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: spent and what the significance of the dollars that we 185 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: are spending is. But we really have to keep is 186 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: any sort of transformative law lasting legislation from being passed, 187 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: whether it's a tax increase, whether it's some form of 188 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: build back better that creates government expenditures that ride off 189 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: into the sunset of trillions of dollars. We have to 190 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: run out the clock because once we get to the summer, 191 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: everything pivots towards the campaign, and if Democrats haven't passed 192 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: anything buck, they're not going to be able to pass 193 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: much in twenty twenty three and in twenty twenty four, 194 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: because I think you're correct that there will be an 195 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: overwhelming red wave in November. So long as Republicans continue 196 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: to bring home the failures of the Biden imitation so far, 197 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: I want to also bring this with This is another 198 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: CNN poll just to give everyone to said, the public's 199 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: view of the economy overall is the worst that has 200 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: been in ten years. Okay, the worst that has been 201 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: in ten years. That was actually the top line of 202 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: the pole. So the overall everyone realized it's a bad 203 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: economy right now. It's not good. And inflation, I know, 204 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: as the primary driver of that. But yeah, how expensive 205 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: everything is? Gas, food, rent, new cars, used cars, everything. 206 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: How expensive this is? You know, I've got a family 207 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: member who's a small business owner. All of his costers 208 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: is going up all the time. Yeah, of course. And 209 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: and if you're trying to just get to that point 210 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: where you're a profitability, it can eat away at your margins. 211 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: It could kill your business. Right. This is and this 212 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: is why so much of this, Oh, here we go, 213 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Biden deficits exploded under my predecessor. It's always somebody else's fault. 214 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: That's Putin's fault, It's Trump's fault. Joe Biden didn't come 215 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: into office saying I'm going to complain a lot about 216 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: what other people are doing and not fix anything. He said, 217 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: Clay Steady handed the economy middle class folks will do great, 218 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: and that was just all absurd. Also, deficits exploded because 219 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: of COVID. Right if you look at the economy and 220 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: you freeze frame it in February and March, right before 221 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: COVID hit, we were trending towards the greatest economy that 222 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: has ever existed in the United States. In fact, you 223 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: can argue we were there. And I think we have 224 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: to continue to hammer home that the people who were 225 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: employed in February of twenty, when wages were rising for 226 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: all races, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, when unemployment rate was 227 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: lower for all races than we've ever seen before, we 228 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: still haven't regained the jobs that we had from the 229 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: Trump economy in February of twenty twenty. There's still over 230 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: a million people who are not in the workforce that 231 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: we're working then. And I gotta tell you, by the way, 232 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: right now, everybody's trying to save money. Biden's talking about 233 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: inflation eight point five percent is going to come out 234 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: tomorrow as well, that we get the newest inflation numbers 235 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: for April, and the best way that you can save 236 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: money when it comes to your phone is by signing 237 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: up for pure Talk today.

You want unlimited data, they've got 242 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: a great deal on that plan too. Either way, fifty 243 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: percent or more every month on your cell phone bill. 244 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: You can keep the same phone, you can keep the 245 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: same phone number, and you can save eight hundred dollars 246 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: or more a year.

That's pound 254 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: two five zero say Clay and buck. Pure Talk is 255 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: simply smarter wireless. If you're looking at inflation, I think 256 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: one of the guests said they think it's probably going 257 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: to remain sticky. I think it's the rate of change, 258 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: and the American public is not stupid, meaning it's gonna 259 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: certainly quit going up as fast as it is. But 260 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: prices are not, and I underscore, are not going back 261 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: to where they were. And I still say, if there's 262 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: one word about what the future of the world's economy 263 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: looks like down the road, and people aren't gonna like this. 264 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: It's about the cost of energy. If people want to 265 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: keep energy prices high, and the government's want to have 266 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: secret meanings about really not being all that enamored with 267 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: fossil fuel at this point in history, that we're all 268 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: doomed to much slower economies down the road. Welcome back 269 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: to Clay en Buck. I'm Buckhe's Clay. That was Rick Santelli, 270 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: the man who called for the tea party from the 271 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange back in twenty ten, 272 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: just speaking what I think is going to end up 273 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: being somewhat prophetic here. Prices aren't going back down, Folks. 274 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: When Biden starts talking about lowering costs, I get really concerned. 275 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: If you want to see a case study of government 276 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: intervention in the markets by setting price controls. That's what 277 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: happened in Venezuela that really started to tag their economy. 278 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: So I hope they know that we can't do that. 279 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: That would be like full on socialist lunacy. But these 280 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: days when you hear them talking about how they want 281 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: to tackle inflation by spending more money, inflation is a 282 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: problem of monetary policy, and inflation is a problem of 283 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: government spending. This is e con one O one. And 284 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: yet Clay, we get Democrats like Biden coming out to 285 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: tell us that their policies of spending more money are 286 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: actually helping. It's like arguing with crazy people. Joe Biden 287 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: made one of the signature issues of his campaign that 288 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: the adults would be in charge again and that he 289 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: would take responsibility for everything that occurred on his watch. 290 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: Yet what we're seeing Joe Biden do time after time 291 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: is find different explanations for why inflation is not his fault. 292 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: And if you remember, I believe inflation was one point 293 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: nine percent when he took over in January of twenty 294 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: twenty one. I think I'm correct in that we're now 295 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: at eight point five percent inflation. So everything that he 296 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: is done has accelerated what would have likely been a 297 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: larger inflation related issue. And Buck, I don't think we're 298 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: talking enough about Shanghai and the lockdowns that are still 299 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: going on there and how that's going to continue to 300 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: impact and exacerbate all of our supply chain crisis issues. 301 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: We may be far worse. I mean again, you're already 302 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: seeing it with things that are important like baby formula. 303 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: We may be far worse when it comes to supply 304 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: issues in this country in the summer and the fall 305 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: than we have been so far. I think that's likely. 306 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but Bearschalves Biden was mostly 307 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: a meme that people are using to poke at the 308 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: Biden administration for being incompetent, But it could really be 309 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: a thing. I mean, Bearschalves Biden might be something that 310 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: goes from look at what a bunch of idiots we 311 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: have run in the country too. Oh my god, I 312 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: actually can't buy stuff that I really need, like baby formula, 313 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 1: by the way, but on a much broader scale than 314 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: even that. And what that scarcity does is create more scarcity. 315 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: Because if you're a right now and you see baby 316 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: formula on the shelf like what we saw. Have it 317 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: with toilet paper. You buy as much as you can, 318 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: which makes the situation worse. Men in America have a 319 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: health problem, folks, and it's been happening for about fifty 320 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: years now, dating all the way back to the seventies, 321 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: loss of testosterone in our systems.

To let you know that we're gonna 341 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: talk with Douglas Blair at one thirty Eastern time. He 342 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: was one of the reporters who followed around those U 343 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: protesters who were going to the Supreme Court Justice Holmes, 344 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: so he's seen that firsthand. What was the experience like, 345 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: what did it feel like in that crowd? How much 346 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: longer might this go on? And what is what is 347 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: and should be the consequences there. We will discuss that 348 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: in what has continued to become a bigger and bigger story. 349 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: And then at two o'clock we're gonna be joined Eastern 350 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: time by Marsha Blackburn, Senator from Tennessee, to talk about 351 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: the potential overturning of the rov Away decision and what 352 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: that will next bring to bear across the nation. All 353 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: that's still to come, but one of the questions that 354 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: a lot of us have been asking is how did 355 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 1: we end up in a world where masking? And by 356 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: the way, Buck, I texted you this yesterday, but did 357 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: you see that Steve Kerr, who we were making fun 358 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: of yesterday on the program for being the only person 359 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: essentially wearing a mask in the entire Golden State Warrior 360 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: arena out in San Francisco, could not be any more 361 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: perfectly emblematic of the absurdity. I'm sure that Steve Kerr 362 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: has probably gotten forty six different COVID shots because he 363 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: is a king lib. He was the only person wearing 364 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: a mask on Saturday in that arena. He tested positive 365 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: for COVID on Monday, was not able to coach last 366 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: night in their game, and we talked about he didn't matter, 367 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: he didn't mask up hard enough, needed more mask He 368 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: kept going down his masks to yell guidance to his team, 369 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: and we made fun of how ridiculous that was. The 370 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: minute that this news story came down, my Twitter feed 371 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: absolutely exploded. So many of you out there, I'm at Clay, 372 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: Travis buck is at Buck Sexton were reacting to that 373 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: conversation that we had and how absurd it was and 374 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: how perfectly emblematic. It was that he tested positive despite 375 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: being the only person wearing a mask. Masks don't work well. 376 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: This is a clip that has started to go viral 377 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: on social media. I saw it yesterday, you did too, 378 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: author Lorie Garrett. This is from twenty eighteen now, just 379 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: to be clear, but she talks about the fact that 380 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: a Japanese study has shown masks are more effective in 381 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: scaring people than in keeping the virus out. This clip 382 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: has gone viral. I wanted you to listen to it 383 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: to understand the psychology of why people like Buck and 384 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: I have been so adamantly opposed to the idea of masking, 385 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: because it isn't about safety, it's about control. Listen. In 386 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: one of their large studies, they basically showed that the masks. 387 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: It seemed like the major efficacy of a mask is 388 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: that it causes alarm in the other person, and so 389 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: you stay away from each other. And that's what I 390 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: think happened with Stars. When I was in the Stars epidemic, 391 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: I saw everywhere all over Asia people started wearing these masks. 392 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: And it is alarming when you walk down a street 393 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: and everybody coming towards you has a mask on you 394 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: definitely do social distancing you, definitely, it's just a gut thing. 395 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: But did the mask really help them? Did the mask 396 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: keep the virus out? Almost certainly not. If the virus 397 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: was around their face, the mask would not have made 398 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: the difference. What happened to the science? Remember when Fauci 399 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: you said something very similar at the start of the 400 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: actual pandemic in twenty twenty, and then pretended like you 401 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: never said it. These people are frauds, these people that 402 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: pushed the masking after knowing that there was no benefit 403 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: in previous trials and in previous pandemics from masking. It's fraudulent. 404 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: It's funny. I actually worked at the Council on Foreign 405 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: Relations Clay as an intern, and Laurie Garrett was a 406 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: fellow there right, a public health expert, and her whole 407 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: thing was pandemics. That's really her area of study. So 408 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: somebody who all she did was sit around all day, 409 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, eating cheese it's and read reading on a screed. 410 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: You know, seasons are amazing, they are quite tasty. All 411 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: she did was study pandemics, And in twenty eighteen, before 412 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 1: this pandemic, she's saying, I mean, mask don't actually keep 413 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: out the virus. That's absurd, right, you and I. I 414 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: think I have been vilified more by libs and the 415 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: left on the masking issue than almost anything else I 416 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: can think of. Quite honestly, people have gone completely insane 417 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: on me. I have not gotten a single apology. Some 418 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: people on the right have actually reachot to say I 419 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: was giving you kind of a hard time in the beginning, 420 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: and you were right. So that's nice. I appreciate that 421 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: jump on in the water's warm on team reality. But 422 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: here you have yet again, compliance is what this was 423 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: all about. Power, as you said, control is what this 424 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: is all about. And then the shutting down of economies. 425 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: This was Remember we all massed up and then it 426 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: was oh my gosh, we have to shut down our economies. 427 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: Why yeah, based on what whose idea was this? This 428 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: was the dumbest thing in history. And if you're if 429 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: someone wants to argue with me, I would point out 430 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't shut down. That was not shut down to 431 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 1: stop the spread of the virus. It was two weeks 432 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: to give hospitals capacity to deal with the influx of 433 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: the sick. That was it. It was like, okay, everybody, 434 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: stay in your house, for a couple of days, and 435 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: then we see and they just lied, Clay. And it's 436 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: important everyone understands this because why is your house, everything 437 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: in your house getting so much more expensive? Household expenses? 438 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: Why is food? Why is gas? Why is everything? Those 439 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: decisions which the Democrats doubled and tripled down on them 440 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: when crazy on were catastrophically stupid. And I think it's 441 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: also to point out to Laurie Garrett's analysis here, masks 442 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: are about scaring people. Buck, Do you know what else 443 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: has happened since they have removed masks on airplanes. The 444 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: number of issues with behavior on airlines has declined by 445 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: seventy percent. So all these flight attendants out there, all 446 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: the pilots, and a lot of you listen to us. 447 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: I guarantee you if we opened up phone lines and 448 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: we just wanted to take their calls, what those masks 449 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: did was create a high level of anxiety and travelers 450 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: because you are I'll tell you Buck for myself traveling 451 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: with my kids. I'm flying later this afternoon back down 452 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: to Florida. I flew to Florida last week with my kids. 453 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: I can't tell you, Buck, how much more normal it 454 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: feels to be in an airport where no one is 455 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: wearing a mask, where you go through TSA and the 456 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: TSA agents aren't wearing a mask, where you still have 457 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: to do all the usual clearance process, but it just 458 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: feels so much better and so much more normal. And 459 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: I really do believe that there's a dehumanizing effect when 460 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: you don't see someone's face, and so it increases the 461 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: overall antipathy, the overall anger that exist on airlines down 462 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: seventy percent should be by the way, a front page 463 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: headline because we heard all this talk about, hey, we've 464 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: got to protect our workers, they're under siege, all these things. 465 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: We haven't seen a delay in flights. We haven't seen cancelations. 466 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: We've actually seen a more efficient process to travel because 467 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: mass have been removed, and we haven't seen a surge 468 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: in cases on airline flight attendants and pilots. It hasn't happened. 469 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: The mask advocates, I hate to say this, are as 470 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: dumb and destructive with the actual results. As defund the 471 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: police was, I mean, it's at that level of defund 472 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: the police just made everything worse. And that's why the 473 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: Democrats had they had to finally run away from it. Oh, 474 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: we don't want to do that. That's crazy. Mask advocates 475 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: is the same thing. They've been wrong about everything at 476 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: every single step of the way. And look, by the 477 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: point about dehumanization, I think that has been I think 478 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: that that's separating people into the masked and unmasked was 479 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: a Democrat strategy. I think they used it in twenty twenty. 480 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: I think they used it for compliance and mobilization in 481 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one on a whole range of issues. It 482 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: became a political signifier more than anything else. I tweeted 483 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: out that chart. I know you saw that too. Of 484 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden in twenty twenty, Democrats all believe 485 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: in the science. Oh before that, they didn't apparently believe 486 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: in the science. But twenty twenty hits Fauci's their little 487 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: cuddly old Grandpam. He's an evil, tyrant smurf, and they 488 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: act like, all of a sudden they know things they 489 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: didn't know before. When I'd think about times when I 490 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: was in the plane and I was told by I 491 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: was told to change my mask. Two separate time I 492 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: had a mask on told to change it too. And 493 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm a pretty polite and even keeled fellow. I would 494 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: think generally, I wanted to bark profanity at these Yeah, 495 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: like I wanted to start shouting curse words in their faces. 496 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: The only thing that really prevented me is one, you know, 497 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: public figure YouTube not good. Two Two. I felt badly 498 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: for some of them because I know that they were 499 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, they were kind of in the just following 500 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: orders category. But the ones that upset me were the 501 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: ones that clearly took some glee in this. They actually 502 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: liked this power that they had. I thought it was pathetic, 503 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: and I think there needs to be a reckoning on 504 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: this issue, as well as many others. Yeah, and going forward, 505 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: there needs to be a significant analysis of this because 506 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, the science gets a lot of things wrong. 507 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: If you look historically at treatment. Remember we talked about 508 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: this before Buck. The idea that you would, for instance, 509 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: sterilize weapons, not weapons, but medical instruments that you're using 510 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: in order to treat patients was considered to be laughably 511 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: absurd until late in the nineteenth century. I mean, the 512 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: idea that you would say, hey, maybe we should clean 513 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: these people would laugh at you. The concept of when 514 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: somebody got sick taking their blood, the idea, hey, we've 515 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: got we've got to bleed you in order to get 516 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: you well. I think this mask wearing is going to 517 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: be considered on that level in years ahead, in that 518 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: maybe maybe we're going to find out that it even 519 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: worked against places. Because if you look our buddy Ian 520 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 1: Miller at Ian MSc, he's got a good piece up 521 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: right now, it's substack pointing out that by far the 522 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: places with the highest rates of COVID are the most 523 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: vaccinated right now and the most masked up. What's going 524 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: on there? I mean, these are questions that real scientist 525 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: would be asking because there are many different alarm bells 526 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: going off. And by the way, the biggest alarm bell 527 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: of all is the Biden administration saying we might have 528 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: a hundred million new cases just in time for the midterms. 529 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: That midterm variant of COVID. Oh wow, it's sure is 530 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: good timing to be able to allow even more people 531 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: to be able to corral all those absentee ballots and 532 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: all those mail ballots. Our friends at Relief Factor, by 533 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: the way, Robert he lives in California. He started with 534 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,239 Speaker 1: Relief Quick Start program just nineteen ninety nine. Provides you 535 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: with three weeks of Relief Factors product.

But when Robert failed to reorder more, 538 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: guess what happened? Pain return and he realized the big 539 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: difference Relief Factor had given to him. Created by doctors, 540 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: perfected over fifteen years of scientific research, the Relief Factor 541 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: was made for you four key ingredients, one hundred percent 542 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: drug free product which addresses joint pain, including back and 543 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: neck pain, as well as the eggs and pains you 544 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: might feel in your knees, hips, or shoulders. Hundreds of 545 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, including my wife, 546 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: Buck's dad, and about seventy percent of them go on 547 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: to order more.

Do not shrug your 556 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths, because if you do, 557 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: lies become dominant and reality is distorted. Lies become dominant. 558 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: Little Fauci says he is the absolute worst has created. 559 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: You ever disliked anybody on the public sphere in your 560 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: life more than you dislike Fauci. I think he has 561 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: harmed more people than any other person I can think 562 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: of in my lifetime in America in a policy role. Yeah, 563 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: I dislike him more than any politician in my life. Yeah. No, 564 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: I mean I'm putting him firmly in the politician camp 565 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: because of his the way, even the way that he's 566 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: talking there. It makes me just just furious. But I 567 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: think think he's the ultimate wire. I think he's at 568 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: the point where he would be having a psychological breakdown 569 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: if he actually took a moment to take stock of 570 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: what his pronouncements and his role in all this has been. 571 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: But the libs, I mean, this is why I played 572 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: that University of Michigan honorary doctorate ceremony. They weren't clapping 573 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: for him. I mean, you're like I My own college 574 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: graduation was so boring. I was like, what am I 575 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: even do? You know? This is usually you're hungover over. 576 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: Can neither confirm deny, but yes, it was a little 577 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: hung over, like, oh you know who cares? And they 578 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: were they were up uproarious applause for doctor Anthony Fauci 579 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: on the left, because he is the one that they 580 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: put all their hopes. I mean, he's effectively the leader 581 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: of a religious belief. I mean, he's he's like the 582 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: post He's he's the he's the cult leader of the 583 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: mass down, lockdown, get get shot two, get three, get four, 584 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: get five, get ten, and you know you'll notice he 585 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: is completely to this day still mum, we'll not say 586 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: a word about, you know, maybe drawing the little circles 587 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: in the park and making people sit in them outdoors, 588 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: maybe padlocking playgrounds and terrifying small children, making the mask 589 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: up outside as they sit on the ground to eat 590 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: their lunch. Never has said, you know, guys, we lost 591 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: our way with some of that stuff. He is the 592 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: absolute worst. If I could get away with dropping some 593 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: curses on radio right now, I probably would. I'm just 594 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: saying it. You know, what video I saw yesterday was 595 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: the video in California of the skate parks being filled 596 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: with sand. Somebody was circulating that video to say, hey, 597 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: let's not forget what they did to us any politician 598 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: that was involved. And they did this in my neighborhood. 599 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: Buck They put rhyme scene tape up around the playgrounds 600 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: to keep kids from being able to go to the playgrounds. 601 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: They took rims off of basketball hoops to keep people 602 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: from playing outdoor basketball, and they filled up skate parks 603 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: with sand to keep kids from being able to be 604 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: on skateboards. Every one of those people should not just 605 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: be beaten in terms of an election. They should be 606 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: removed from office forever for incompetence. And that's why this 607 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: November election is so important. If Fauci is perhaps my 608 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: or our nemesis, the good news is that Faucci has 609 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: his own nemesis, Senator Ran Paul. Here's the interesting thing. 610 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: It's the same argument as a disinformation board, we have 611 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: to decide what is true and what is not true. So, 612 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: for example, I think that doctor Fauci has promulgated untruth, 613 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: he has normalized untruth. So the biggest pervader I think 614 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 1: of untruth right now in public health is doctor Fauci. 615 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: So when someone says we're gonna stop to his information, well, 616 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: they can't even agree to what the truth is. That's 617 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: why we have a debate, or robust debate. Scientists debate, 618 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: journalists debate, politicians debate. We arrive at the truth through disputation. 619 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: Anybody who says we can do it by edict is 620 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: somebody completely unaware of the idea and the concept of 621 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: freedom of speech. Rand Paul has been on Fauci's case 622 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: more effectively, more consistently, and earlier did really anyone else 623 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: I can think of with a platform and a political 624 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: office in public life. He's seen the truth alogue. So 625 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 1: in the same way that I am, I will never 626 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: let go the whole Fauci debacle. I am grateful that 627 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: Senator rand Paul has been a voice out there of 628 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 1: truth on this. Not only that, Buck, we need to 629 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: allow the Rand Paul's of the world and the Jim 630 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: Jordan's of the world in both the House and the 631 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: Senate to be able to hold doctor Fauci accountable. Because 632 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: you want to send this loser, lunatic the wire into retirement, 633 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: I guarantee you he will retire. We win back the 634 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: House and Senate, and it becomes clear that he's going 635 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: to have to testify on a regular basis, and that 636 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: he's going to be held accountable for all the lies 637 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: that he has spread and all of the resulting peril 638 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: that he has put this country in as a result. 639 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: So you want to send this guy directly into retirement. 640 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: You don't want your tax dollars making him the highest 641 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: paid bureaucrat in the history of the United States. We 642 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: need that reckoning, We need that red wave. We need 643 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: to enable and empower people in the Senate and the 644 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: House to hold him accountable. Speaking of peril, the Supreme Court, 645 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: crazy mobs running around not just outside the court, but 646 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: outside the homes of some justices, And there's been a 647 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: bit of a debate that's broken out on the right 648 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: among conservatives about why isn't the law not just federal 649 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: but state law in the case of Virginia and Maryland 650 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: being enforced to break up these protests outside of homes 651 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: clearly meant to intimidate justices. Clan are going to dive 652 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: into that one, and Moore coming up here in just 653 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: a few minutes play Travis and Buck Sexton on the 654 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: front lines of truth
