1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Thursday edition 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: with the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Getting close 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: to holiday break here for many of us, those who 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: are fort up to get time off with friends and family. 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: But a lot of news, My oh my, COVID is 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: ripping through states in this country that but a few 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: months ago. We all know. We're lecturing places like Florida 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: on how they just weren't taking the virus seriously enough. 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: You'll notice the tone is very different when New York 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: City has a tripling of the positivity percentage for COVID 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: tests in just a matter of days. They've never had 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: that before. You have some places now on track to 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: set all time highs for cases and others all time 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: highs for hospitalizations. We're going to get into the latest 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: on that. You've also got Democrats discussing voting rights issues, 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: a possible break in the philibuster to get that voting 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: rights issue through, maybe adding a few Supreme Court justices too. 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: They're throwing it all out there, folks, because Biden's not 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: getting it done. First year is a catastrophe that much 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: as obvious to everyone, even if you're a Democrat. The 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: first year has been a catastrophe because he hasn't gotten 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: the wish list through. They still might plus Musk versus 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: Warren continues on Clay, I will have some fun with 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: that one. She's going back at him. She has not 26 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: decided to bury the hatchet. So we have a lot 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: to get into here, and I wanted to start with 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: a quick anecdote. Yesterday. Yesterday I went into the gym 29 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: and I was alone, and then five people came in 30 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: after me, one after another. And in New York, now, Clay, 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: we got signs up everywhere. You got a mask up 32 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: in gyms again, and this is mine. This is a 33 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: thing that made me hate Fouch she almost more than 34 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: anything else, because you have people who are on the tree. 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm not a treadmill guy, but obviously, but people who 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: are on the treadmill are, you know, joking and coffee 37 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: and it's so stupid. One afternother, they're coming behind me 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: and they see me no mask, they take their masks off, 39 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: and finally I think people are realizing this is just 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: it's too stupid. Oh. A couple of weeks ago it 41 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: was safe. Now it's not safe. And we had this 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: and you sent this out to our team last night, 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: the CEOs of Southwest air and American Airlines, because remember, 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: planes are the place they never budged on masking on planes, 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: and here they are saying, then mask dumplanes don't really 46 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: do anything. That's what they're telling us Clip number five, sir, 47 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: So we'll play it is very strong that mask don't 48 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: add much if anything in the air cabin environment is 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: very safe and very high quality compared to any other 50 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: indoor setting. Mister Parker, I concur. The aircraft is a 51 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: safe place you can be. That's true of Oliver aircraft. 52 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: They all have these heyp of filters in the same airflow. 53 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: So what's funny about this buck is that was, by 54 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: the way, Senate testimony. So they're under oath there. The 55 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: American and Southwest CEOs are both retiring. They are going 56 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: to be replaced, and I think that's probably why they 57 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: felt comfortable actually saying that. But I love that. The 58 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: other CEO immediately said, I concur because it's all a sham. 59 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I love And by the way, this is 60 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: not getting anywhere near as much attention as I think 61 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: it should be getting because anyone out there who has 62 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: to travel, and I'm flying tomorrow, I get that is 63 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: the place where you talked about being in the gym 64 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: and being furious about the fact that you have to 65 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: wear a mask. Thankfully, I've never had to do that 66 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: where I live. But the idea that I have to 67 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: put a mask on to get on an airplane and 68 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: the fact that I have to put a mask on 69 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: to walk through an airport terminal infuriates me. And I 70 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: understand there's people out there saying, what's the big deal, 71 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter that much. It does matter if 72 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: you tell me to do something that is totally not 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: helpful and that is actually making me comply with a 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: stupid rule for no reason, I'm going to be furious 75 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: about it, and I love. Finally, after eighteen months, the 76 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: fact that we've got the CEOs of Southwest and American 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: Airlines coming out and pointing out what is indisputably true, 78 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: which is masking makes no sense. And all the petty, 79 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: tyrant flight attendants who were constantly walking up and down 80 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: the aisle telling you that you took your mask down 81 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: too long to take a sip of water or eat 82 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: some some pretzels is that they're all completely a sham. 83 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: It's all cosmetic theater. There's no basis in reality for 84 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: it whatsoever. The airlines have been the place of greatest 85 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: mask curity. We all know, Yes, this is the place 86 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: where they're the most absurd, the most. I was on 87 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: that Spirit Airlines flight wherever i've I've tweeted this when 88 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: they escorted people off the plane that was four and 89 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: we all had to wait forty five minutes. Then they 90 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: had to bring the paperwork people. That was because they 91 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: had beneath their nose a few times. Okay, that was 92 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: what the full offense was. It was below the nose. 93 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: They I've been on planes where they've woken people up 94 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: from slumber to say, your mask has dipped below your nose, sir. 95 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: These people are sociopaths, And I'm sorry. I've talked to 96 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: people work at airlines. They don't have to do this, 97 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: But I guess there are a lot of libs working 98 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: for the airlines these days, or they're so terrified of 99 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: the libs around them as passengers. But this is just 100 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: one example yet again of what we've said all along here. 101 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: The notion that you were at so much risk on 102 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: an airplane. So you get on a plane, you got 103 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: a mask up. But then you go into a restaurant 104 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: and how many different places in America and you sit 105 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: there for a few hours with people without masks on 106 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: eating right now. I got I got my coffee this 107 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: morning because I couldn't make it myself I usually do. 108 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: I was in a rush, so I got it at 109 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: a Starbucks. I know, I know, boom me Later, I'm 110 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: at Starbucks, I get my coffee and there are people 111 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: that are in line with masks on. Everyone sitting down 112 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: is unmasked. Someone explained this to me, Clay. They act 113 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: like this is going to stop Omikron. You've got to 114 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: be kidding me. What about just on the airplane itself. 115 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: You can eat a snack and drink with your mask off, 116 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: but as soon as you're done, you have to put 117 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: it back up. You're taking your mask off to eat 118 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: and drink. And the one that that really my wife 119 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: gets frustrated because I pointed out every time. But I 120 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: feel like I have to tell somebody. Obviously I can 121 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: tell everybody on the radio, but when I'm walking through 122 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: the airport terminal. I live in Nashville, right when you 123 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: walk through the Nashville Airport terminal. There are a couple 124 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: of different bar restaurants inside of Nashville that they built 125 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: so that you sit at a bar and look out 126 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: into the terminal. In other words, instead of facing towards 127 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: the wall or facing inwards on the restaurant, there is 128 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: a line of bars where you can sit and look 129 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: as everybody walks past you while you sit there and 130 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: have dinner, while you have a beer, whatever you're doing. 131 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: While they're by the way, have a live stage with 132 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: live music going on as well. You can literally from 133 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: those seats, Buck, reach out and touch anybody who is 134 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: walking by. You are breathing directly into the middle part 135 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: of the terminal. You have to have a mask on 136 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: in the terminal as you walk past these people. The 137 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: people sitting at the bar, eating and drinking, literally who 138 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: could reach out and touch you do not have to 139 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: wear masks. This is a childlike absurdity, and really what 140 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: it reminds me of, Buck is the kind of rules 141 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: that authoritarian regimes put in place. For anyone who's ever 142 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: studied history, they have all of these illogical rules which 143 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: are often based on a leader who is not a 144 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: rational person, and everybody is trying to jump through the 145 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: hoops to make sure that they are complying with whatever 146 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: absurdity is the daily rule of the regime. I also 147 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: have to say that when you look at what the 148 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: numbers are right now, Clay, how could you think that 149 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: Fauci and the health bureaucrats in this country are anything 150 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: but a massive failure. This is this is just up 151 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: on the daily mail. CDC issues CDC folks grim forecast 152 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: warning that weekly COVID cases will jump by fifty five 153 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: percent to one point three million by Christmas Day, that deaths. Remember, 154 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: they keep saying, oh, we're all, we're all protective from 155 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: hospitalization death a little, you know, a bit, but not entirely. 156 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Even if vaccinated. It's better, certainly to be vaccinated than not. 157 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: But there are still people going to the hospital who 158 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: are vaccinated. There's still people. Again, think about what was 159 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: promised six months ago. Deaths will serve seventy three percent 160 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: to fifteen thousand, six hundred a week as omicron becomes 161 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: a dominant strain, and that's according to the CDC forecast. 162 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: So we went through all this stuff, We've done all 163 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: this masking, all the social distancing all the shots, more shots, 164 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: booster shots for this, this is what this is what 165 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: were the end resulted. It's kind of hard for people 166 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: to take The data is likely. I believe if you 167 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: look at it, that we are going to set a 168 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 1: new all time record for cases at some point in January, 169 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: so one year. And that's significant because Joe Biden, when 170 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: did he come into office January twentieth or whatever. Heck, 171 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: inauguration Day was essentially one year after Joe Biden took 172 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: office and said that he was going to solve COVID, 173 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: that there were going to be no issues going forward 174 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: with COVID. We are likely to set an all time 175 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: record for the number of cases of COVID that exist 176 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: in the country. I remember last year, we barely had 177 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: any vaccines that were distributed, we barely had any therapeutics. 178 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: And here we are coming up on a year of 179 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: the Biden regime where they said they're going to solve COVID, 180 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: there's gonna be no issues. We're gonna likely be at 181 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,239 Speaker 1: or near an all time high for cases. Cornell University 182 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: has gone to full remote. Okay, Cornell University technically an 183 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: Ivy League school. Just say Andy Bernard's alma mater. There 184 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: you go for office fans there. Keith Olberman too, by 185 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: the way, but I think he went to the AG school. 186 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: So Cornell has gone full remote and they have a 187 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: big omicron outbreak. Specifically, as I understand it, over nine 188 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: hundred cases Clay. According to Cornell's own administrators, almost all 189 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: of the cases, almost all of the cases are fully 190 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: vaccinated individuals, because you had to be vaccinated to be 191 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: on campus, right, So unless someone was forging it or 192 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: lied or had some exemption, they were vaccinated. Now I 193 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: understand that they will always retreat to this. Oh, but 194 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: you're much safer if you're vaccinated. No, no no, no, The 195 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: twenty year olds who are getting vaccinated were never at risk. 196 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: They were forced to get the shot. Let's remember, they 197 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: were forced to get the shot to stop from being 198 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: infecting and spreading, and they are doing that anyway. So 199 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: the pandemic of the unvaccinated line that Biden used is 200 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: not accurate, it's not fair. It's also just a complete lie. 201 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: And it's like six months old. Remember one of the 202 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: first things Joe Biden said, if you want to go 203 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: back in time a year ago when he took office, 204 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: he said, guys, if we just wear masks for one 205 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: hundred days, COVID will be over. That was his first pitch. Hey, 206 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: we just need to wear masks for a hundred days 207 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: and COVID will disappear. Now, thankfully, at least we got 208 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: the American and Southwest Airline CEOs who are coming out 209 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, even on airplanes, these closely packed seating 210 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: arrangements with limited ability to have outside air right, even 211 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: with that going on, they don't make sense there, news flash. 212 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: If they don't make sense there, they don't make sense anywhere. 213 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: Masks are a sham. The focus should be on getting 214 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: vaccines and stockpiling the therapeutics that we have for those 215 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: who are at risk and who are vulnerable. That should 216 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: be where the energy is going, making sure there's hospital 217 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: hospital capacity to treat everybody who gets this and gets 218 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: particularly ill with it. But instead they want to make 219 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: you get a shot for your five year old. I mean, 220 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: this is this is I'm sorry, folks. They are the 221 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: health bureaucrats. Your own doctor cares about you. The health 222 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: bureaucrats do not. The health bureaucrats care about their reputations, 223 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: how they're thought of, what conferences they'll be invited to 224 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: in book deals they'll get after this. Fauci is the 225 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: absolute worst, the absolute worst, no doubt, And now you 226 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: know it's also the absolute worst. The Spirit Airlines vaccine 227 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: that Buck Sexton got, which I will bring up when 228 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: we come back when January first hits. And one of 229 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: the New Year's resolutions is to save money, which a 230 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: lot of you are going to do. Here's a surefire 231 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: way to save money. Change your cell phone carrier from 232 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: AT and T or Verizon or T Mobile to Pure Talk. 233 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: You get the same quality as service you get from 234 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: one of the big three, but at a great savings 235 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: just fifty or sixty dollars a month less with their 236 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: thirty dollars a month plan. This is a great plan, 237 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: lower overhead because they don't spend money like the big 238 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: guys do. There's no Pure Talks stadium, there's there's no 239 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: Pure Talk constant television advertisements on every commercial. That's why 240 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: for thirty dollars a month, they can give you unlimited 241 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: talk tech six gigs of data. It's a great deal. 242 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: You can keep your same phone and your same number. Buck, 243 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: how do you get hooked up from your cell phone 244 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: dial pound two fifty say Pure Talk and save an 245 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: additional fifty percent off your first month plus save on 246 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: a new phone.

Welcome back in Glait. 248 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: You're Havis Buck Sex, Then show Thursday edition of the program. 249 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: All of you are having a good start to your 250 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: Christmas holiday season. Ish. I don't even know when officially 251 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: Christmas holiday season starts, but I know my kids get 252 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: out of school tomorrow, so that's always kind of the 253 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: date for me, when the kids get home for winter break, 254 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: get home for Christmas, get home for school. Bad news 255 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: for you, Buck. I saw this last night. I put 256 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: it on put it on Twitter. We have jokingly called 257 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: your one shot Johnson and Johnson the Spirit Airlines of 258 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: vaccines because one of your buddies termed it that right, 259 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: which was a great lines. And I think we're not 260 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: getting a sponsorship by Spirit Airlines at anytime. So now, Clay, 261 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm flying Allegiance tomorrow, so I'm just hoping at lands. 262 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. Uh news came out that 263 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: your Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine has a zero percent 264 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: effectiveness against omicron zero or was it will read that 265 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: I will read the headline is zero. I want to 266 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: read the headline to make sure because I also I 267 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: also clicked on it. I mean it wasn't like five 268 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: was not no, because I tagged you in it too, 269 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: but I want to I want to make sure that 270 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: I did not. The headline is pretty fantastic. Um Johnson 271 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: and Johnson's COVID vaccine This is from the Daily Mail 272 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: produces virtually no all caps antibody protection against omicron variant 273 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: and lab study virtually no. They maybe I actually I'm 274 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: gonna pull up the article again now and see maybe 275 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: you got a one or two percent protection. I'm looking 276 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: for whatever number I could get here, Clay. You know, look, 277 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm not concerned. You know why because despite the suppression 278 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: of this conversation by the people that are supposed to 279 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: be all about the science, I have a little something 280 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: called natural immunity because I've already had COVID. That's right. 281 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: So I'm not worried, and I don't particularly care for 282 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: all the fear mongering around people like me. I'm thirty nine, 283 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: soon to be forty, and I already have had COVID, 284 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: and they made me get this stupid shot because by 285 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: everyone that I know who thought they were going to 286 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: you only have two options in New York, forge it 287 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: or get it. There was no other because they actually 288 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: did check everywhere in Manhattan, all restaurants and bars of checking. 289 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: Even some coffee shops will check. So if you got 290 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: the if you got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and 291 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: you already had COVID, it was the city of New 292 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: York made me go through pain, irritation, and discomfort for 293 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: no reason whatsoever. That's right, here's the official word. South 294 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: African virologist Penny More found that there was no that 295 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: that there was undetectable levels of protection from everyone who 296 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: had the J and J shot. And here's the quote. 297 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: The situation I think is even more alarming for the 298 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: J and J vaccine. There was no detectable neutralization in 299 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: our essay, So yes, you have zero protection from the 300 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Now we're gonna talk more about 301 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: this ridiculousness year coming up in a moment, but I 302 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: believe we've got We're gonna go to Afghanistan and talk 303 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: about the situation on the ground because a lot of 304 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: people still not paying attention to the Americans that have 305 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: been left behind there, and we have a clip right 306 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: of first, we have retired Lieutenant Commander Brian Stern, who's 307 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: the co founder of Project Dynamo. Up next. He is 308 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: on the ground now in Kabble after in Taliban controlled Kabble, Afghanistan. 309 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: Here's Jensaki trying to respond to the question about Americans there. 310 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: Why is it that there are still Americans strained in Afghanistan? 311 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: The United States does not track or put a tracker 312 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: on American citizens traveling overseas. Let me just reiterate something 313 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: that Tony Blincoln said back in August, which is that 314 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: if Americans who are in Afghanistan wanted to leave, we 315 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: would help them get out. I would note that since 316 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: that time, we've directly assisted four hundred and seventy nine 317 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: American citizens to depart Afghanistan. Four hundred and seventy nine 318 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: left behind. It is a lot higher than the one 319 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: hundred to two hundred that President fun was talking about it. 320 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: So how did you guys get There were people who've 321 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: determined they wanted to leave since then, and it is 322 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: our responsibility to help them depart. We'll get the real 323 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: deal coming up here. From Uri the tenant Commander Brian 324 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: Stern a Project Dynamo on the ground of cobble stick 325 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: around for that. Our goal this season is good health 326 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: and happiness wherever possible. That includes family and friends and 327 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: our extended family, and of course our pets. Your family 328 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: dog needs the benefit of healthy food because that's going 329 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: to help them have a better, longer, happier life. The 330 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: dry kibble you're feeding your dog doesn't get it done. 331 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,479 Speaker 1: You need vitamins, omega oils, probiotics, and those aren't in 332 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: that dry kibble.

What is the status 347 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: of Americans left behind by the Biden regime in Afghanistan? 348 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: We want answers. That was Aeutenant Colonel Michael Waltz, Congressman, 349 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: great guy for former lieutenant colonel. Great dude, and he's 350 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: asking a question we want to try to find some 351 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: answers to. Now we have Brian Stern with us. He 352 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: is a multi tour combat veteran who served in over 353 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: fifty countries, including Iraq, in Afghanistan, in the Army and 354 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: the Navy. He's a nine to eleven first responder, a 355 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: Purple Heart recipient, founder of Project Dynamo, a nonprofit that 356 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: has been for deployed conducting rescues and evacuations from Afghanistan 357 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: since mid August. Brian, thank you so much for being 358 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: with us. Great thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. Brian, 359 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: tell us what's going on? Where are you? What is 360 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 1: this problem set? How do we fix it? Right? Uh? 361 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: Tough questions. Easy. One is right now, I'm in cobble. 362 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm in cobble Afghanistan right now, or in the middle 363 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: of conducting a pretty sizeable evacuation of fifty over fifty 364 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: Green card holders and American citizens. So we are actually 365 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: executing as I talk to you. We're doing PCR tests 366 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: right now. How do we fix it? I don't know 367 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: as these look. Let me let me before we get 368 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: to the how we fix let me just let me 369 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: come back in here, because I want to understand who 370 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: is left behind and how why is it they can't 371 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: get out? Because the White House seems to be playing games. 372 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: They make it seem like, oh, if people want to leave, 373 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: they can just leave. You know, we're not their keeper. 374 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: They do what they want. Yeah, so you know it's hard, 375 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: right when the State Department says that, yes, that's true. 376 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: Kind of like when the State Department says there are 377 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: x amount Americans who want to leave, Yes, that is 378 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: true in the context of there are a lot of 379 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: American citizens who are married to people who are visa 380 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 1: holders or visa applicants, and they their spouses and their 381 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: families cannot leave. So if I'm an American daddy and 382 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: I'm married to an Afghan mommy, and the Afghan mommy 383 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: has three children, and the three children are undocumented. When 384 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: you ask me, as an American, do I want to leave? 385 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: The answer is no, I'm not leaving my family. That 386 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: turns into while that guy doesn't want to leave. That's 387 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: not exactly accurate. Technically it is, but there's a little 388 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: more depth to it that changes things. Brian, appreciate you 389 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: coming on with us live from Afghanistan. And I just 390 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: want to confirm what I heard. Did you say that 391 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: you're trying to get people PCR test COVID tests so 392 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: that they can get out of Afghanistan. So let me 393 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: get this straight. The United States government is are they 394 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: still requiring COVID test for American citizens to leave Afghanistan 395 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: while they're not requiring illegal immigrants coming across our southern 396 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: border to have COVID test? Uh? Yeah, absolutely, And we 397 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: do it as a matter of course. We do it 398 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: as a matter of course so that there's no reason 399 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: when we when we arrive in the United States, if 400 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: there's no reason that anyone says no, so we we 401 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: we've experienced any any opportunity to be an obstacle or 402 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: a challenge or a problem. We try and address those 403 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: in advance. And yeah, and kind of and by the way, 404 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: I started to cut you off, but we appreciate all 405 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: the work you're doing. But doesn't that seem crazy to 406 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: you that you're trying to get American citizens out of 407 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: Afghanistan and you have to worry about whether or not 408 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: they have COVID tests in order to get back in 409 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: the country, And yet we have an open southern border 410 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: where we're doing nothing. Really and truly, of all the 411 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: obstacles that we face, the PCR piece is actually one 412 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: of the easy ones. So, yeah, the PCR test as 413 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: a requirement, we don't do. Just that, we do. We 414 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: actually do COVID vaccines here in Afghanistan. So every person 415 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: that flies in the Johnson and Johnson grade a American 416 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine shot as again just as a as a 417 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: as a way, as a as a defeat mechanism, so 418 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: that no one can say, well, we'd love to let 419 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: him in, but you know the COVID thing, Oh can't 420 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: have him. No, no, no, everyone has tested, everyone is vaccinated. 421 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: And it's just a guy argument. Um, it's why we 422 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: do it that way. We're speaking to Brian Stern. He's 423 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: a multi tour combat veteran founder of Project Dynamo. He's 424 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: on the ground as we speak to him right now 425 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: in Cobble, Afghanistan. Brian, are the Taliban allowing Americans to 426 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: leave who want to leave? How is it? I mean, 427 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: you are now in Taliban controlled Afghanistan. I was walking 428 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: the streets today and it's a very weird. It is 429 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: a it is a it's a surreal experience. I must say. 430 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: I've been in Afghanistan a bunch of times. I've been 431 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: the cobble many times. I've worked in Cobble for six 432 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: months or longer. It's a weird vibe on the street. 433 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: The Taliban there position, if you will, is they're not gonna. 434 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: They're not gonna. They're not gonna do anything to an American. 435 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: They're they're they're they're they're they don't want to rock 436 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: the boat. They're trying to demonstrate to the world that 437 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: they're real and legitimate and all those things. So because 438 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: of that, I tell people, people say, Wow, you're in Cobble. 439 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: That sounds crazy. I tell everyone it's like going to 440 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: the South Bronx. It's scary, but not exactly dangerous, you 441 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: know it, probably it'll be okay. There's very much the 442 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: vibe on the street here in Cobble. It's like that 443 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: where it's kind of awkward, kind of weird. You get 444 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: some funny looks, but the reality is they're actually not 445 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: going to do anything, probably not until until they do. 446 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: And that's what we're all afraid of. And so when 447 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: does the huge rop when it's you know, when, yeah, 448 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: what is the expectation Brian? In terms of when you're 449 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: in Cobble and you're walking around, you say, it has 450 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: an eerie feeling, but you know, nothing really has become calamitous. 451 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: When do you think that other shoe proverbially drops? In 452 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: terms of your experience in Afghanistan, I think as the 453 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: economy fails, as starvation becomes real. The winter is here, 454 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: it's freezing here. My flight was delayed because the runway 455 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: was covered in snow, then ice, and then there was 456 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: no visibility. They still don't have snow plots at the 457 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: runway at the airport still to this day. So um, 458 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, Afghanistan's always been a complicated country, a poorly 459 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: resourced country. But for foreign governments them as as the 460 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: situation in the humanitarian crisis becomes goes some bad to worse. 461 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: That's really when you start to see things fracture. People 462 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: need to remember the Taliban or Turns you know right 463 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: run are indifferent. They are a transitional government, no different 464 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: than when we switch from Republican to Democrat presidents or 465 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: vice versa. There's always this period of transition and then 466 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: the dust settles and then you know, the honeymoon is 467 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: over and then real life has to start. The Dalaban 468 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of experience governing, so they have 469 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: their work cut out for them, regardless of whether they're good, bad, 470 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: or anything else. Bran, we got we gotta ask you, 471 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: are you are you optimistic that all Americans who have 472 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: left behind in Afghanistan will get out and let's say 473 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: the next six months, And is the Biden administration taking 474 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: this as seriously and doing as much as they should? 475 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: For answer, your first question is will they all get out? 476 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: I'll kay yeah, I mean half a Project Dynamo. We're 477 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: donor funded, so a little plug for us Project Dynamo 478 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: dot org, please please help. We're on donor funded as 479 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: long as they're Americans or Green card hold as they 480 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 1: are left behind, and we are funded, we will continue 481 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: to bring them out until they're all home buried the end. So, um, 482 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: will they all get out as long as we are funding? Yes, 483 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: they will. I can make that commitment. And the Biden 484 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: administration components. Are they doing everything they can? I think 485 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: I think that until everyone's home, there's always there's more 486 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: to do. Uh. This is if the State Department did 487 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: five flights today, I would say, how can we didn't 488 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: do six? So but this is a very hard problem 489 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 1: set it really is. It's very difficult. There are so 490 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: many pieces to it. Uh. You know, I I'm reluctant 491 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: to say it's any one person's fault or one person's problem, 492 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: because there really isn't. It isn't. We're mistakes made, Definitely, 493 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: Mistakes are always made. Were decisions made that shouldn't have 494 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: been made? Absolutely? For sure? Was this thing? Could this 495 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: have gone better? They couldn't have really gone any worse? 496 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: Is what I would say. But you know, are they 497 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: doing all that they can do? We put a man 498 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: on the moon, we can see golf balls from out 499 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: of space. We are an incredible We invented the internet. 500 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: We are an incredibly capable country. There's in my mind, 501 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: there's no reason why a non for profit like mine 502 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: is evacuating American citizens tonight. I have an eighteen month 503 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: old little boy who as a US passport, his passport, 504 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: I have it in my hands as we the people 505 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: on it, same as mine. I don't understand why this 506 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: kids are trying to get out Since August and it's 507 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: December and we're still having that conversation that that is 508 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: a hard pill for me to swallow as a patriot, 509 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: as American. It's not political, it's not political whatsoever. Just 510 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: as an American, we don't leave our people behind ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. 511 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: It's beat into us in the military. And I'm looking 512 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: at an eighteen month old little boy and he needs 513 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: me to get home. That's very strange to me. Brian Stern, 514 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: veteran founder of Project Dynamo, go support Project Dynamo and Brian, 515 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us. Thank you 516 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: very much, really appreciate it. Thank you. We suffered our 517 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: worst terrorist attack ever to take place on American soil 518 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: twenty years ago on nine to eleven. It was a 519 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: moment in time that none of us will ever forget. 520 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: But in the face of that tragedy and the horror 521 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: of the event. Brave Americans responded. Many even stepped forward 522 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: to enlist in our armed forces. Since then, more than 523 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: seven thousand US soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice. Those heroes 524 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: were part of the War on Terror, America's response to 525 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. They fought for us, but never came home. 526 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: The Tunnel the Towers Foundation honored those men and women 527 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: who gave everything by reading their names aloud for the 528 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: first time ever in a new annual ceremony on Veteran's 529 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: Day last month. Tunnel to Towers is making sure their 530 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: sacrifice is never forgotten. The Foundation's Season of Hope started 531 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day and continues through New Year's Eve. At 532 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: least one mortgage free home a day is being given 533 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: away for thirty seven days to honor America's greatest heroes. 534 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: Do good in their honor. Donate eleven dollars a month. 535 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: That t twot dot org. That's t the number two 536 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: t dot org. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 537 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna have some fun for you. One of the 538 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: dumbest people in media, Joy Reid fired up about Elon Musk, 539 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: but we talked about this yesterday, maybe it was the 540 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,239 Speaker 1: day before, Elon Musk and Elizabeth Warren going back and 541 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: forth at each other over taxes and tax rates and 542 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: tax being paid and everything else, and joy Anne Reid 543 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: decided to jump in. But make no mistake what's going 544 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: on here. I think this is a calculated decision buck 545 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: by Elizabeth Warren as the Biden administration is floundering, and 546 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: as there is more and more public discussion, certainly way 547 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: more than that private discussion about whether or not Joe 548 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: Biden is going to run in twenty twenty four. I 549 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: think that Elizabeth Warren is trying to stake out a 550 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: position for herself on the left word edge of the 551 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, potentially for the primary going forward. Because people 552 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: are talking about Kamala there, talking about Mayor Pete, and 553 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren's kind of waving her arm pokahonas and saying, hey, 554 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're forgetting about me. And she came 555 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: out and said it's time to pack the Supreme Court 556 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: straight up, no tiptoe up to it at all. Let's 557 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: play cut for the problem we've got is first that 558 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell hijacked this court. He stole a Supreme Court 559 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: seat so that President Obama didn't get to name someone, 560 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: and then he crammed through a nominee just weeks before 561 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: President Biden was elected. We've got a court that, over 562 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: time is taking out the basic notion of the rule 563 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: of law, the idea that we decide something and we 564 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: pretty much stick with it. This court has lost the 565 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: respect of the American people. And the only way I 566 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: believe that we're going to rebuild that is we need 567 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: to bring in more justices, need to get some balance 568 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: back in this court. This is just blather. I mean, 569 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: this is idiotic, beyond even what you could express through 570 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: analysis of her words. First of all, what is she 571 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: even saying? The process is the process and it was 572 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: not broken or changed in any way. The Senate did 573 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: what it did, and we have a Senate that has 574 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: certain rules for how you get a Supreme Court nominee through. 575 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell didn't change the rules. Mitch McConnell didn't say 576 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: what now the Libs are saying, which is they want 577 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: a one time break, a one time break in the 578 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: filibuster so they can get through a big voting rights change, 579 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: which would essentially federalize state elections, which would open up 580 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: a tremendous door to fraud and the inability to even 581 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: catch election fraud because the way they want to structure it, 582 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: this is just when they don't get their way, the 583 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: institutions have to be scrapped or changed dramatically. When they do, 584 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: the institutions are sacred. This is the classic Democrat thing. 585 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: It's the same you're you're hearing now how the Senate 586 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: is anti democratic because they represent states and not individual 587 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: population centers. This is what they always say when they 588 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: don't get their way. And the idea that you're going 589 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: to create more political legitimacy for the Supreme Court by 590 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: for the first time in the hundreds of years expanding 591 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: the number of Supreme Court justices is a ridiculous argument 592 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: that Elizabeth Warren certainly has to see through and buck 593 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: the argument of hey, they don't respect precedent. Well, was 594 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: only a few years ago that gay marriage was allowed 595 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: to become the law of the land. The Supreme Court 596 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: typically now they're worried about what's going to happen with 597 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade, But the Supreme Court typically has been 598 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,479 Speaker 1: over the last forty or fifty years very expansive in 599 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: terms of creating rights that may or may not have 600 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: existed under the textual analysis of the Supreme Court. So 601 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you get threatened because Trump and 602 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: this is a big deal and and I think it 603 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: doesn't deserve enough attention for everybody out there who was 604 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: an ty Trump person. Trump got three Supreme Court justices 605 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: on the Court, relatively young ages that are going to 606 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: be there for the next theoretically if they stay healthy, 607 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 1: sometimes thirty and forty years. For these justices. The Lincoln 608 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: Project people out there, Hillary Clinton would have made all 609 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: three of those appointments, but for Donald Trump getting elected 610 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: when she did, and if that had occurred, god forbid 611 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: what the Supreme Court would be saying right now. I mean, 612 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: because they already had a strong left wing. It's so 613 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: transparent though with Warren, and she's just giving voice to 614 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: a common theme on the left, and it is the 615 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court is political when it doesn't give us the 616 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: political outcompany walk. That's right, right, it's politicized when I 617 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: don't get my way. There's like a child throwing a tantrum, right, 618 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: they don't if they don't want to share their toys. 619 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: That's okay when someone else in the sandbox doesn't share 620 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: their toys though they're being mean this it is a 621 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: childish view of the Supreme Court that you get from Democrats. 622 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: It's obvious, but they convinced themselves of it. It doesn't matter. Oh, 623 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: we should court pack because the court has lost legitimacy. 624 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: Think about how stupid that is before the courts even 625 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: issued a ruling. By the way, right, they don't even know, 626 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: but Clay, this is what they always do. They know 627 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: Biden year one is a disaster. The Democrat brand is 628 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: circling the toilet bowl right now. They know it's in 629 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: bad shape. So what are they already preparing for? Break 630 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: the glass plan? Man? They're trying to figure out how 631 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: they can change the way, not who or why they 632 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: want to vote, how votes are counted, where votes are cast, 633 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: what the legal system is around the election. They want 634 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: to change the rules of the game because they can't 635 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: win the game as it stands right now, and they 636 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: know it. This is an area, by the way, that 637 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: I think Trump missed on. In the twenty twenty election, 638 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: Joe Biden got to run the entire campaign with ever 639 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: having to take a position on whether or not the 640 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: Supreme Court should be expanded, and nobody in the media 641 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: hammered him on it. You don't get to just say, oh, 642 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: I don't really want to answer that question. You're running 643 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: for president of the United States. It's kind of a 644 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: big issue. And he never has even still to this day, 645 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: to my knowledge, has not given an official position himself 646 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: on whether this should happen or not. Did you know though, 647 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is a great word smith Clay, and 648 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: that he has actually coined a new word. I'm sure 649 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: they'll put it in the Webster's Dictionary. Just give it 650 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: time online, they'll change it. Joe Biden goes around, not 651 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: once or twice, constantly using a made up word. We'll 652 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: tell everybody what it is in the next hour. But 653 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: this is who this is, who's running the country, folks, 654 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: uses make believe words when he's not mumbling. And also, 655 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: I promise you one of the dumbest arguments that has 656 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: ever been made in the history of MSNBC, and that, 657 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: my friends, is saying something next you're listening to Clay Travis, 658 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: said Buck Sexton on the EIB Network.
