Yes, evidently 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: there is a best of version of this show that 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: we'll run on Christmas Eve. I know that many of 17 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: you are out and about traveling all over the country, 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: going to be with your friends and families for Christmas 19 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: and the holiday season the new year. We are really 20 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: appreciative for you, guys, and we are going to continue 21 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: to power right through into twenty twenty two, But first 22 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: we got to finish up this year, and the insanity 23 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: is continuing to stack up. I don't know how many 24 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: of you saw what doctor Fauci recently said yesterday. I 25 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: believe it may be the dumbest thing that Fauci has said, 26 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: which is really piling a lot on. But let me 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: kind of recap what has been going on of late. 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's new grand plan to deal with COVID is 29 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: to give five hundred million free tests. The problem is 30 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: those are not going to be available until January, and 31 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: I just want to tee off on testing here for 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: a moment. It doesn't make any sense buying large to 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: test that often for COVID. At this point, let me 34 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: explain what I mean by that. The COVID test requires 35 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: you to test multiple days in a row. Right, So 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: if you've got a little bit of a scratch in 37 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: your throat, if you test, you might be negative on today, 38 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: but you might be positive for tomorrow. So how many 39 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: tests are you going to buy? Are you going to 40 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: test yourself every day every time you have a little 41 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: bit of a sniffle, a little bit of a catch 42 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: in your throat. I have had the flu, like many 43 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: of you have many times over the course in my life. 44 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: Do you know how many times I've ever had a 45 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: flu test? Never? We have lost since for basic sanity, 46 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: the rule for most of our lives has been this, 47 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: if you feel sick, stay home and avoid exposing yourself 48 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: to others. If you don't feel sick, then you should 49 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: go to work, you should go to school, you should 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: you live your life in a normal fashion. This idea 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: that testing is in some way going to free us 52 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: from COVID has always been a total and complete joke. 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: Unless the idea is We're going to have billions of 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: tests and everybody's going to test themselves every morning, first 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: thing when they wake up, it doesn't make any sense. 56 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: Five hundred million tests are going to be gone basically 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: the moment they go up online, because the most filled 58 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: with hypochondria of those of us out there are going 59 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: to immediately buy them up. In fact, if you live 60 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: in many parts of the country right now, you can't 61 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: find these tests. Even if you're trying to buy them yourselves. 62 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: They're limiting how many you can buy. Already. What we 63 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: are doing with testing is further solidifying the extreme neurosic 64 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: neuroses that exist out there for people who are extreme hypochondriacts, 65 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: we are endorsing their anxieties. I just flew. I've been 66 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: flying for two years. I never really stopped and down 67 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: in Key West, I gotta be honest with you, most 68 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: people were pretty chill. You know what happened to me 69 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: at a gate as I was getting ready to get 70 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: on my flight back from Key West, I was sipping 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: a coffee and the gate lady came over to me 72 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: and she said, sir, between SIPs of your coffee, you 73 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: need to cover your face to protect everyone around you. 74 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: And there are many dumb things that I believe we're 75 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: going to look back on, as it pertains to COVID 76 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: and say this was the most nonsensical element here. But 77 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: the idea that you should replace your mask between bites 78 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: or between SIPs inside of an airport or on an 79 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: airplane is I think the most fundamentally illogical, insane and 80 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: without scientific justification mantra that has become commonplace in our culture. 81 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: But let me tell you this, I do see some 82 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: reasons for optimism. Notwithstanding Biden's ridiculous address yesterday and the 83 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: fact that he wants five hundred million tests, Let's be 84 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: clear on this. Biden has failed on COVID. Doctor Fauci 85 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: has failed on COVID. And the reality is everyone was 86 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: going to fail on COVID because it was a virus. 87 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: And almost everything that we have done has been cosmetic 88 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: theater since this entire thing began. In fact, I want 89 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: you to just follow me down a primrose path here 90 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: and think. And I know Buck and I have talked 91 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: about this a bit, but think about what would have 92 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: happened if Donald Trump had one reelection in twenty twenty. Now. 93 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you out there are saying, well, 94 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: he did win reelection in twenty twenty, understood, But let's 95 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: presume that he wins and is president right now. What 96 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: is happening in America? If Donald Trump is president right 97 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: now and we had just crossed eight hundred thousand COVID deaths? 98 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: What are the Blue states saying? What are the Red 99 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: states saying? Everyone in media just about is blaming Donald 100 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: Trump for eight hundred thousand deaths. Do you notice how 101 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: when Joe Biden took over all the blame for COVID 102 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: deaths miraculously disappeared. And I think we need to continue 103 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: to talk about this data because it matters. But more 104 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: people have died with COVID. I say with COVID because 105 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: they're typically dying with multiple comorbidities and COVID is one 106 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 1: of them. But more people have died with COVID since 107 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden took office then died when Donald Trump was 108 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: in office. How many people in America do you think 109 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: know that? Probably not very many, because as soon as 110 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: Democrats were able to get their guy in office in 111 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, they stopped arguing that the President of the 112 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: United States was responsible for everyone who died with COVID. 113 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: And remember, Joe Biden has more deaths from COVID, despite 114 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: the fact that there are many therapeutics, despite the fact 115 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: that the COVID vaccine, which we'll talk about during the 116 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: course of today's show, exists, despite the fact that we've 117 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: had over a year to get used to what does 118 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: and does not work in terms of medical treatment for COVID. 119 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: Despite all of those advantages, Joe Biden has more debts 120 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: on his watch than Donald Trump did. And remember Joe 121 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: Biden memorably said during the debates, any president who has 122 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: over two hundred thousand deaths on his watch from COVID 123 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: doesn't deserve to be president. I keep waiting for Joe 124 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: Biden to resign, considering that he now has twice as 125 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: many nearly deaths on his watch from COVID as Trump 126 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: did at the time that he made that statement during 127 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: the debates. But the truth of the matter is Joe 128 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: Biden ran his entire campaign on the idea that he 129 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: would solve COVID, and he's failed. And the reason why 130 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: he has not solved COVID is because politics is not 131 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: going to solve It's a virus. The virus was going 132 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: to virus no matter who was president. The reality is 133 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: Democrats in twenty twenty used COVID to get Trump out 134 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: of office, and now that Biden is in office, he 135 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: has absolutely no solution whatsoever. My argument maybe a bit 136 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: of a bit of a departure. My argument is the 137 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: president and doctor Fauci and everyone else has almost no 138 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: impact in what has happened with COVID, and the fact 139 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: that we had a Republican president and now a Democratic 140 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: president and the overall COVID pandemic has continued is evidence 141 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: of that. But what is glaring is the fact that 142 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: the treatment of Donald Trump for COVID is seismically different 143 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: than the Trump than the treatment for Joe Biden. And 144 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: what we're starting to see is reality is starting to 145 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: set in. I'm looking right now at a New York 146 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: Times lead editorial from this morning, the Wednesday edition of 147 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: the paper. I know Rush like to say is ink 148 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: stained fingers. I am old school in the context that 149 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I still love newspapers. I like to pick them up. 150 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: I like to read them, the physical copy of the newspaper. 151 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: Now I'm online, as you guys know, all day, Bucks 152 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: online all day. We're constantly making sure that we're seeing 153 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: as many news stories as we can. But I like 154 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: to start off my morning reading the Wall Street Journal 155 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: and the New York Times back to back, just to 156 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: see the way that each of them is covering the world, 157 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: so that narratively, I'm aware of what the arguments are 158 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: out there. And what I've seen with the New York 159 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: Times over the past few months is something pretty staggery. 160 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: Their headline right now on their lead editorial is do 161 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: not close the schools again. Now, we haven't gotten to 162 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: the point that Buck and I argued back in certainly 163 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: June and July of twenty twenty that every school in 164 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: America needed to open for the fall twenty twenty calendar. 165 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: Most schools didn't, but we're going to eventually end up there. 166 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: But the fact that they are now acknowledging, even in 167 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: the New York Times, that it makes no sense to 168 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: shut down schools is a win for Team Reality. The 169 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: fact that they even buried in this editorial a paragraph 170 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: and I read it and I called my wife over 171 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: and I said, you gotta see this. I couldn't believe 172 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: that they were even acknowledging this. Do you guys remember 173 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: back in August when I went and spoke at my 174 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: local school board, and do you remember when everybody got 175 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: labeled domestic terrorists? Who was willing to stand up to 176 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: what was going on inside of their schools? And I argued, 177 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: because the data and the science supports me, that mass 178 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: made no sense and nobody was any safer, particularly young 179 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: kids wearing masks. Inside of the New York Times editorial headline, 180 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: do not close the schools again, is this paragraph? We 181 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: should make masking in schools voluntary rather than mandatory. Masking 182 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: was a necessary inconvenience. Dispute that, but masking was a 183 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: necessary inconvenience early on, But to think two years of 184 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: masking has no negative impact. Is shortsighted. Kids are resilient, 185 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: but not endlessly resilient. Anyone who wants to wear a 186 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: mask should be allowed to, but masking in schools should 187 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: be voluntary rather than mandatory. New York Times op ed. 188 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: Do not close the schools, and masking should be voluntary, 189 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: not mandatory. Who does that sound like team reality? Notice 190 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: the pivots that are going on here, the pivots where 191 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: people like Buck and I have been sharing these facts 192 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: with you since day one. The science isn't really changing 193 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: very much. We've had reliable data on who was impacted 194 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: by COVID since the summer of twenty twenty in this country, 195 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: and the people who've been impacted by COVID uniformly, whether 196 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: it's a delta variant, whether it's alpha, whether it's akron, 197 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: are the senior citizens, the elderly, and the obese. Since 198 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: day one, every single impact that has occurred just about 199 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: has been related to elderly and obese people. And I 200 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: just think it's amazing here that even in this article 201 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: in the New York Times, the weekly hospitalization rate, I'm 202 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: reading directly from their lead editorial for school age children 203 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: is approximately one in a hundred thousand. This has stayed 204 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: remarkably consistent through the original outbreak, the more transmissible alpha variant, 205 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: and last winter surge, and yes, even through the summer 206 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: delta surge in the South and the fall. The available 207 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: data this is from the American Academy of Pediatrics. The 208 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: available data indicate COVID nineteen associate hospitalization and death is 209 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: uncommon in children. Hey, we've been telling you all this 210 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: team reality is slowly starting to win. When I come back, 211 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: I want to share some data for you from the 212 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: census that may shock you. And I'm also this hour 213 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: going to play you the dumbest thing that doctor Fauci 214 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: has said in his career, potentially as this unelected tyrant. 215 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: And I know that's a broad category in terms of 216 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: how many stupid things he has said, but trust me 217 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: on this. You're gonna hear it, and I think your 218 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: jaw is probably gonna drop like mine did. But in 219 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: the meantime, a lot of you out there, if you're 220 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: coffee people, you've got to get introduced to the taste 221 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: and flavor coming from Black Rifle Coffee, veteran owned coffee 222 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: company serving premium coffee to people who appreciate great coffee. 223 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: Their CEO and founder, Evan Hayfer, spent more than seven 224 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: years on the ground overseas with US Special Forces.

Maybe you're on the road. 250 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: I appreciate you listening to us wherever you may be 251 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: across this great country or this great land, either on podcast, 252 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: you're on one of our great affiliates, maybe you're streaming. 253 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: Saw something that I thought was fascinating because the data 254 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: we've been talking on this show. One of my big 255 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: feces about what is going to happen with COVID is 256 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: it's made the red states redder and the blue states bluer. 257 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: But that's been occurring primarily because red state residents are 258 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: being supplemented by refugees from blue states, and they came 259 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: out with the data on the census data for twenty 260 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: twenty one, and this is interesting. New York was the 261 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: number one state to lose population, around three hundred and 262 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: twenty thousand New Yorkers bailed on the state. California was 263 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: the second biggest loser, around two hundred and fifty k 264 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: or so, followed by Illinois. You'll hear me say, by 265 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: the way, those are the three states that I see 266 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: people moving into my state of Tennessee the most from. 267 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: And if you're from Texas or Florida, you may feel 268 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: the same way. Okay, So the big state losers populations 269 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: almost all Blue states New York, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Louisiana, 270 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: which by the way, has a Democratic governor right now 271 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: who's been among the most stringent in applying COVID rules, Pennsylvania, DC, 272 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, which has all sorts of interesting colling is 273 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: going on, Michigan, and New Jersey. Most of what we saw, 274 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: in fact, was over one million people left blue states 275 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: to move to Red states in twenty twenty one. Why 276 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: would they be doing that if the Red states were 277 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: so unsafe, if their COVID policies were so dangerous. I 278 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: want to build on this in a moment, but these 279 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: are the states that added population Texas, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, 280 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: South Carolina, Utah, Tennessee, Idaho, and Nevada. Almost all of 281 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: those states red states. What is going on here with 282 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: the great sorting of America? And if you live in Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, Tennessee, 283 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: states like those North Carolina, should you be afraid that 284 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: the people who are moving in, many of them are 285 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: from New York, California and Illinois, are going to destroy 286 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: your way of life and like moths, bring a great 287 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: plague of lopeness to your state. I'll tell you why 288 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: I don't think so in a moment. But first I 289 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: got a great Christmas deal for you.

You're listening to Clay Travis and 306 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the EIB network Walking back in Clay 307 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton show a bit of news. The FDA 308 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: has okayed a COVID pill that you can test take 309 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: that is about evidently ninety percent effective at least based 310 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: on the early returns from fiser, and it should be 311 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: available sooner rather than later, which the timing on that 312 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: could be very helpful. This is not a vaccine. This 313 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 1: is a pill that you take if you have if 314 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: you have COVID that has been proven to be ninety 315 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: percent effective, which if that were to hold up, would 316 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: be a great therapeutic that would that would go a 317 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: long way towards keeping anyone out of the hospital, Zoe, 318 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: it's a break. I was talking about the great mass 319 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: migration that we're seeing from blue states to red states. 320 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: A million people in twenty twenty one moved from blue 321 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: states primarily New York, California, and Illinois, to red states 322 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: primarily Texas, Florida, and Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Utah, Tennessee, 323 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: a lot of these states adding much of the population. 324 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: I was talking about the fact that where I live 325 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: in the Nashville area, I meet people all the time 326 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 1: that are moving into my neighborhood. I live in an 327 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: area called Franklin, Tennessee, which is just south of Nashville, 328 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: about fifteen or twenty miles in Williamson County, and our 329 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: schools have stayed opened. We were open all last year, 330 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: and so as a result, there's been a lot of parents, 331 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: a lot of families that have moved here. And what 332 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: I see is New York, California, and Illinois, most commonly Chicago. 333 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: Areas where people are bailing in Illinois, and I ask 334 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: them why they came here, and they all say, to 335 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: a person, man and woman, they moved because they were 336 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: finally fed up with the politics, and COVID was the 337 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: tipping point. And if you talk to real estate agents 338 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: in Texas, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, every single 339 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: time a new COVID policy goes into effect in these communities, 340 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: in these states and these cities, the phones start to 341 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: ring off the hook. There are no properties hardly for 342 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: sale right now in Tennessee in my area of Nashville, 343 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: because people are flooding in from New York, California, and Illinois. 344 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: And I know there's a fear out there that they're 345 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: going to change the politics. I think it's actually the opposite. 346 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: I think they're coming here for the politics, which is 347 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: why I am arguing they are going to make red 348 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: states redder because they've seen the deletarious, destructive policies of 349 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: far left wing California, New York, in Illinois and they 350 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: want to move to a place where they and their 351 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: family never have to deal with those threats again. Which 352 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: is why I believe Red is getting redder and blue 353 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: is getting bluer because of COVID and all of these 354 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: policies are becoming more insane. Guys, I was just looking. 355 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: Buck has talked about this New York City vaccine mandates, 356 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: by the way, not working because New York City kept 357 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: keeps setting new highs for COVID infections. But they've now 358 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: been joined by Chicago, Boston, La, San Francisco, and Washington, 359 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: d C. Where I went to college and have spent 360 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: a decent amount of time. I live in Nashville. Now 361 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: the city that I've lived in the second most time 362 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: in my life's Washington, d C. I love it. It's 363 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: a great town, but this blew me away. Washington, DC 364 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: now has a vaccine mandate in order to get into restaurants, gems, 365 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: entertainment facilities, indoor venues beginning January fifteen. This is pretty wild. 366 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: No test out option here. Only forty six percent. This 367 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: is according to Matt Whitlock I saw it retweeted by 368 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Perine, who used to work in the Trump White House. 369 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 1: Only forty six percent of DC's black population is vaccinated 370 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: and only thirty four percent of the eighteen to twenty 371 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: four age ranges. So, DC, which is a majority black city, 372 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: now has implemented a COVID vaccine requirement, which will not 373 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: allow the majority number of black residents in this black 374 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: run city to even go into restaurants, gyms, entertainment facilities, 375 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: or other indoor venues. This is madness. This is madness 376 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: on an epic level. The people who should be worried 377 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: about taking care of the instituencies in Washington, DC, have 378 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: just mandated that their people are not able over half 379 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: of them, to enter into restaurants, gym's, entertainment facilities, other 380 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: indoor venues. Can you imagine if a Republican was putting 381 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: this policy in place, how many people would be out 382 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: there running around screaming racism. How many people on the 383 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: left wing in this country would be focused on the 384 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: disparate impact. This is like the whole argument for election 385 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: right election policies, Oh, if they have a disparate impact. 386 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: This has a direct impact related to race. Over half 387 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: of DC's black population is not allowed to go into 388 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: a restaurant, a gym, in entertainment, or an entertainment facility, 389 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: or other indoor places starting January fifteen. This is madness, 390 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: and by way, I'm unvaccinated. Still I keep dodging, like Neo, 391 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: all these different restrictions. I was joking with my wife 392 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: on our flight back from Key West because I was 393 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: telling her about new York, Chicago, Boston, La, DC, in 394 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: San Francisco, all putting in these new policies. I'm gonna 395 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: keep going back to Florida a lot. I can go 396 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: to Texas. By the way, we got an awesome Florida 397 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: event coming up on January twenty first down in Fort 398 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: Myers already sold out hundreds of you. We're really appreciative 399 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: of that event. We're going to be doing an event 400 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,479 Speaker 1: down in Houston before long. More coming. And by the way, 401 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: I should mention I said we had a best of 402 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve. The best of is actually on Christmas Day. 403 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: Michael Barry from down in Houston, one of our great 404 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: affiliates there, is going to be sitting in for Buck 405 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: and I over the holiday season. He does great work. 406 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: You guys are gonna love him. He'll be in on 407 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: Friday with all of you, and then he'll be in 408 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: next week as well. So we're excited to have him in. 409 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: And yes, there is evidently a best of version that 410 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: will be out on Christmas. Just so you know, all right, 411 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: when we come back, I'm gonna play you this ridiculous 412 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci clip. But also we've got David Zui, who 413 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: is with us who has been writing Believe it or not? 414 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: I believe a New York magazine in the Atlantic multiple 415 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: places basically looking into the data behind masking, and he 416 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: has just been exposing that all of this is a 417 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: house of cards and there's no scientific data to support it. 418 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: But as I was talking about this, New York, Chicago, Boston, 419 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: La d C. San Francisco, I can't go to restaurants 420 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: or bars or gems in any of these places. I 421 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: guess I can stay in hotels. Maybe I can go 422 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: to a hotel, gym or am I gonna be banned 423 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: inside of a hotel? I don't know? But the number 424 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: of places I can go just keeps constricting. Guess what 425 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be going to the Free State of Florida, 426 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: the Free state of Texas. I'm lucky to be living 427 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: in the Free state of Tennessee. I want to take 428 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: a trip to Montana. That's the next trip I want 429 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: to take. Never been to Montana. A big fan of 430 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: the television show yell Stone. So I think I'm gonna 431 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: be able to go pretty much anywhere in the real West. 432 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to all that. When we come back, 433 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play you a clip. Doctor Fauci was asked 434 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: about holiday gatherings and whether he would allow a family 435 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: member who was unvaccinated to attend a holiday party. What 436 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: was his response. It was idiotic, it was nonsensical, and 437 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: I think you guys are not going to be surprised 438 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: by it, because he is, after all, little Lord Fauci 439 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: running around the worst bureaucratic official I think in the 440 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: history of our country. I'll play that clip for you 441 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: when we come back. But in the meantime, Mike Lindell, 442 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: he invented My Pillow, and we have got My Pillow 443 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: and all the products throughout the house.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Fundy 463 00:28:53,560 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: EIB Network. Welcome back to end Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, 464 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: little Lord Fauci, the worst bureaucrat in the history of 465 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: the United States. Maybe there was somebody back in the 466 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds or the nineteen hundreds that was worse than him. 467 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: I can't think of who they might be. This unelected 468 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: tinpot dictator who continues to restrict all of our freedoms. 469 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, also I'm gonna talk about this 470 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: in the second hour of the show, did you see 471 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: Fauci demand that Jesse Waters be fired from Fox News 472 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: based on a totally bogus cut of audio that Jesse 473 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: Waters that CNN unfairly distributed. I'm gonna play that full audio. 474 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: Fauci also calling and demanding for him to be fired. 475 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: This guy is a fraud, He's a liar. He's consistently 476 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: been wrong on everything. I believe that the NIH where 477 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: he he is, the data clearly reflects that our own 478 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars helped to fund gain a function research which 479 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: helped to lead to what I believe was the escape 480 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: of COVID from the Wuhan Virology Lab, which has now 481 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: continued to inflict scores of economic and life changing and 482 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: life taking difficulties on the entire world, which, by the way, 483 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: is why I went on Fox News this morning on 484 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: Fox and Friends and said, I hate the idea that 485 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: our athletes are going to Beijing and that we're going 486 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: to bend the knee and show up and pretend that 487 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: everything is okay and compete in China. I hate it. 488 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: I despise it. But Faucci was asked whether or not 489 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: he would allow an unvaccinated person to attend a holiday 490 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: gathering with his family. Here is what he said. Play 491 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: cut eighteen. If someone in your family is and vaccinated. 492 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: Should he asked them not to show up. Oh, yes, 493 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: I would do that. I mean, I think we're dealing 494 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: with a serious enough situation right now that if there's 495 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: an unvaccinated person, I would say, I'm very sorry, But 496 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: not this time. Maybe another time when this is all over. Okay, 497 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: here's what fires me up about this. Aside from this fact, 498 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: and look, everybody out there has to make their own 499 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: decisions about what to do around Christmas, around the holidays, 500 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: around New Years. And I can't tell you what you 501 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: should or should not do. But here is what I 502 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: would say. If you are a grandparent and you have 503 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: been away from your grandkids for two years because you've 504 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: been terrified of COVID, what are you living for. I'm 505 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: not a grandparent, I'm a parent. I could tell you 506 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: that there is nothing that would have kept me away 507 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: from my kids over the past two years. I would 508 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: imagine that someday, if I'm fortunate enough to be a grandparent, 509 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: being a grandparent will be one of the most important, 510 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: if not the most important, things in my life. I 511 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: got three boys. I hope they grow up and they 512 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: have kids, and I hope we have tons of grandkids. 513 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: One day and I hope, by the way, that I 514 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: live long enough to see him because I work so 515 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: many hours now. My wife's going to live to be 516 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty. I'm gonna die at fifty two, right, 517 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: but so she's gonna have a hundred years without me 518 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: an amazing remaining ninety years. But if you are making 519 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: that choice to not be around your grandkids because you're 520 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: afraid of COVID two years in, I think you're a coward, frankly, 521 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: and I don't know what you're living for. But that 522 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: is your choice, that is your right. The idea that 523 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: Fouci would suggest that the health even supports this idea 524 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: right now is what is particularly frustrating me about the 525 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: clip and the fact that no media pushes back on him, 526 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: because being vaccinated does not keep you from getting or 527 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: spreading COVID. So you are selling an artificial bill of 528 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: goods out there that the idea that if you are 529 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: unvaccinated makes you way more significant of a risk to others. 530 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: The reality is, if you look at the data, unvaccinated 531 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: people are primarily a danger to themselves, not to others. 532 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: In other words, what doctor Fauci is selling there is 533 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: the idea that unvaccinated people are dirty, unclean and cannot 534 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: be allowed to be around the vaccinated, which is fully 535 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: not supported by the scientific data at all. Most unvaccinated 536 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: people are primarily a danger to themselves, which is typically 537 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: the case with most things in life. And it's why 538 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: I get so fired up when I see people who 539 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: are idiots out there on social media saying, well, if 540 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: somebody who's unvaccinated gets COVID, they don't deserve medical treatment. 541 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: You realize that obesity is the number one cause of 542 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: preventable illness in America today. I've never heard somebody say, oh, 543 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: if a fat person gets sick, they shouldn't get coverage 544 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: at a hospital because they made themselves fat, and therefore 545 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: skinny people should get coverage first. It's absurd, it's ridiculous. 546 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: But the fact that nobody will push back against doctor 547 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: Fauci when he says something like this is what is 548 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: so frustrating. The media should exist, in my opinion, to 549 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: speak truth to power and hold people accountable who seek 550 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: to use their opportunity to continue to grab more and 551 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: more power without having any justification for that power. And 552 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: when we see all of these democratic mayors New York City, Chicago, Boston, 553 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Washington, d C. San Francisco. I'm sure there 554 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 1: are other cities out there as well, continuing to take 555 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: more and more power over vaccine mandates. I just want 556 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: to step back and say, have you not looked at 557 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: all of the data. The NFL, the NBA, the NHL, 558 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: They're all almost a hundred percent vaccinated, and they're setting 559 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: record high four cases? Why is that? Because the vaccine 560 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 1: doesn't protect you from getting or spreading COVID. We were 561 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: lied to and told that that was the truth. Initially, 562 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 1: Remember in the summer back in may take your masks 563 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: off at you're vaccinated, you never need to wear a 564 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: mask again. And then slowly the cases continued to tick 565 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: up and people said, oh, turns out these vaccines they 566 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: may provide some limited about of protection when it comes 567 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: to death or serious illness, but they are not vaccines 568 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: and the traditional method or methodology that you and I 569 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: have been taught about. In other words, think about this. 570 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: You're vaccinated for measles. If somebody was coming to your 571 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: house and you found out that they weren't vaccinated for measles, 572 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: would you restrain them from entering your home? Of course not, 573 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: because you're vaccinated for measles, which means you're not going 574 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: to get measles. What the COVID shot is is a 575 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: therapeutic that provides limited protection. Now I've said this, Buck 576 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: has said this. My parents have gotten the vaccine. They're 577 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: over seventy five. They got boostered, they're over seventy five. 578 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: If you are in ill health, if you are obese, 579 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: if you are a senior citizen, I think you should 580 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: get every shot imaginable to help protect yourself. But if 581 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: you're a young, healthy person, your risk from COVID is 582 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: far less significant driving to a Christmas party than it 583 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: is to actually die driving to the Christmas party. And 584 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: your kids going to school are more likely to be 585 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 1: murdered walking to school than they are to die of COVID. 586 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: They're more likely to drown, they're more likely to die 587 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: of the seasonal flu. All of those things are bigger risks. 588 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: We gotta get smarter, more intelligent. Masks are also a sham. 589 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: David's wide from the Atlantic. It's proving it. He'll talk 590 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: with us next, You're gonna love him. That's the second hour, 591 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. You're listening to Clay Travis send Buck 592 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: Sexton on the EIB network
