So Buck, I think that we have reached 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: a real sort of I would say, significant turning point 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: in the nation as a whole. And what I would 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: say is you have and I'm among them every single week. 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody in Fayetteville. Met a ton 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: of our listeners who were there for the Texas Arkansas game. 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: Incredible experience. I'm gonna be by the way in Gainesville, 20 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: Florida this weekend for the Alabama game against Florida and 21 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, Buck is going to be with 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: me for his first ever college football game. We're going 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: down to Tuscaloosa for the Old Miss Alabama game, which 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: looks like it's going to be incredible. But then also 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: in addition to being a Texas Arkansas, I flew back. 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: My ten year old is about to turn eleven on Wednesday, 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: and what he wanted to do was go to an 28 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: NFL game, the local team, the Tennessee Titans here with 29 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: his ten year old eleven year old buddies. So I 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: took a big group of kids to that football game. 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: And I've been to a bunch of college football games. 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: I've now been to an NFL stadium. The crowd began 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: as the flyover was occurring, and as they honored September 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: eleventh victims. This was obviously on September twelfth, the crowd 35 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: spontaneously began to chant Usa USA. I tweeted out that video. 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: You can check it out. What I am seeing all 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: over this country with college football fans and with NFL 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: fans is they're showing up, selling out their stadiums, not 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: wearing masks, living one hundred percent their normal life, tailgating 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: with friends, hugging, high fiving, celebrating. Sometimes your teams play poorly, 41 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: reacting in the same way that you would before. And 42 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: I can't get over the incredible dichotomy between the way 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: the blue check of losers in the Joe Biden administration 44 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: and their anti science advisors behave demanding that we have 45 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: a vaccine mandate and the way what I would say, 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: real Americans across the landscape are actually behaving. And Buck, 47 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm curious because you went to the US Open for 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: the tennis final, and they made a big deal about 49 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: how they're going to require vaccine passports to enter in 50 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: everything else. Virtually nowhere in football are they requiring them. 51 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: But what was your experience going through to get into 52 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: that arena to watch that event? So I love going 53 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: to the US Open. It's one of the only sporting 54 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: events that I make a real I've made a real 55 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: effort in the past to go to I might have 56 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: been going so I was a kid. I mean I 57 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: used to go to NBA games too, and the occasional 58 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: Giants and Jets game, But that's that feels like an 59 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: eons ago now. But I'm going to the final between 60 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: Medvedev a Russian, and Novak Djokovic a Serb, who is 61 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: arguably if he wins one more of the a major 62 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: the US Open, Wimbledon, French Open, Australian Open, the greatest 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: tennis player of all time, at least by major wins, 64 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: which is usually how people judge it. And I show 65 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: up there and just spoiler alert in case you didn't 66 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: see it, which I'm sure anybody who cares about tennis did. 67 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Djokovic got got spanked. I mean it was bad. He 68 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: he had a tough time, three set loss on center court. 69 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: But as we're going in play, they're yelling you must 70 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: have your vaccine passport visible and your ID in your hand. 71 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: You must. They're yelling this, and thats ever been there. 72 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: There's this big walkway with thousands and thousands of people 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: just funneled toward the main grounds and then Arthur Ashe Stadium. 74 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: They that after they're yelling you at this, you know, 75 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: at the top of their lungs, and people yelling this 76 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: as you're getting closer, and then they had someone go 77 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: just just waving people yep, yeap, yeap, yep. I am 78 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: not kidding. I could have held up a soiled napkin. 79 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: I can have had in my hands a piece of 80 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: junk mail saying you know, I've just want a million 81 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: dollars or something and waved that and the security By 82 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: the way, I'm not I'm not making fun of the 83 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: security guard. I'm with the security guards on this. I'm 84 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: with them in that they're not gonna do that. This 85 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: is absurd. It's gonna slow everything down. So I appreciate. 86 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: I want to high five the people who weren't even 87 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: really checking. But it is an extended finger in the 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: center of the hand, so to speak to all the 89 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: people that are going, oh, we need the vaccine passports everywhere. 90 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: It only if you're gonna do things like this. It 91 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: is truly cosmetic theater. It obviously means nothing. And Clay, 92 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: we were outside the main matches outside. This stuff doesn't 93 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: spread outside, not in any meaningful way. We can't be 94 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: held responsible for people that are afraid of lightning strikes 95 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: all the time. I'm sorry, we just can't live our 96 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: lives that way. Well, and I think it becomes increasingly 97 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: difficult to argue in favor of any kind of restriction 98 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: when Americans are touch turning on their television sets, and 99 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: even if you are among the COVID fear porn purveyors 100 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: or one of the people who's still terrified that you're 101 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: going to die of COVID, when you're watching a full 102 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: stadium and they finally have done away with the absurdity 103 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: of coaches on the sidelines having to wear masks or 104 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: anybody having to wear those ridiculous shields, there is now 105 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: no indication whatsoever that COVID ever existed. As it pertains 106 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: to college football in the NFL, when you actually are 107 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: in the stadium, you're watching the games, and Buck, the 108 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: great masses of football fans out there, this is spreading 109 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: virally now, the amount of chants of f Joe Biden 110 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: that are occurring all over the country, including in the 111 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: nine to eleven celebratory Metsy Yankees baseball series. We put 112 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: together a medley. Don't worry, they're bleeped of fans in 113 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: crowds starting viral f Joe Biden. Chance. Listen to this. 114 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: Does this sound Buck like the most popular president according 115 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: to electoral math, the most more votes than Barack Obama 116 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: one million people. I mean, I think what you have 117 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: is finally, people there there's a little bit of a 118 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: turning point that is occurring here, tipping point that's happening 119 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: where you have people are getting to the point of 120 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: fatigue with the stupidity, where it's becoming more obviously. And 121 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: here's here's what I would say that because Clay, you know, 122 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: you get to spend more time in red state America. 123 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: I get to spend more time in blue state America. Right, 124 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: So in blue state America, it has been this cultural 125 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: and social signifier of your intelligence. To double mask indoors outdoors, 126 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: to to stand away from people when you're in line, 127 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: all these these crazy things, and you know, to sit 128 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: in the circle in the park that they've made for you, 129 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: and I mean they actually draw circle on the grass 130 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: right pictures. Yeah, they've done all this. That was a signifier. 131 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: Now I am seeing people who granted, there's you know, 132 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand Republicans or eight hundred thousand Republicans in 133 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: New York City, but I am seeing people that are 134 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: just like, now, I'm not going to do this anymore. 135 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: I was on the subway going out to the game, 136 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: subway back and forth the US open masks acquired on 137 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: the subway. Of course, I didn't wear a mask because 138 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm such a rebel. But I didn't wear a mask, 139 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: and I'd say about four or five other guys in 140 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the subway car. Interesting was always guys, not I did 141 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: not see any unmasked female in the subway, only guys. Now, 142 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: maybe that's because you know, if somebody gets aggressive with you, 143 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: you know you're on the subway, a guy might feel 144 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: a little more comfortable handling the ay buddy, you know, 145 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: back off thing. But people are starting to say this 146 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,239 Speaker 1: my coffee shop on my corner masks, even for the vaccinated, 147 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: it says required half the people and the staff not 148 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: wearing masks. I think there is real fatigue with faucism 149 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: that's settling in Clay in Blue say rights. It's been 150 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: in Nashville, It's been in Tennessee, in Texas and Florida. 151 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: But I think even the Libs, some of them, some 152 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: of them, not a majority, but like a good chunk 153 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: of them, are tired of this bullcrap. Yeah, and look, Buck, 154 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's gratifying, right. My team got 155 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: their ass kicked on Sunday. The Titans got destroyed by 156 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. But man, I'll tell you, being in 157 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: a stadium that was full again, and being able to 158 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: look around and not see a single person wearing a 159 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: mask anywhere in my entire section, not seeing a single 160 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: person lining up to get your ticket scanned to come 161 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: into the stadium, and seeing that also taking place buck 162 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: all over the country, right, whether you're a Giants fan 163 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: in New York or whether you're a forty nine er 164 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: fan in San Francisco, places that you would anticipate fans 165 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: would be more apprehensive and nervous and there might be 166 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: more of a mask related requirement. Now, maybe Lord Fauci 167 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: is going to weigh in here because he couldn't have 168 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: been happy with all the NFL teams joining all the time. 169 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: Why would he picking on the car I wanted to 170 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: ask you this, you know, why would he pick on 171 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: the college football teams play? But I would also say, though, 172 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you were at a if you were 173 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: at the Philharmonic or a soy milk tasting contest, I'm 174 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: just saying you would see a lot more masks than 175 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: you will at an NFL game. I agree, And I 176 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: think that's the answer of why Fauci's picking on football, 177 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: Because football fans, I think, in general, are the heartbeat 178 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: of America, their middle of the road people who are 179 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: sane but also not fearful. I mean, if you're gonna 180 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: go watch guys beat up on each other playing football, 181 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: hyper masculine sport men and women, you're probably not the 182 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: kind of person who is fearful of what might happen 183 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: to you on a day today. Basis, you can break 184 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: an arm, you can break your back, you can go 185 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: paralyze playing flaming football comes football risks are more dangerous 186 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: the players than COVID. And yet the people that are 187 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: there watching, they understand that this is everyone there wants 188 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: to be on the field, wants to be there, and yes, 189 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: wants to be involved in this sport. And look, I'm 190 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: hoping because at least right now they keep they're arguing 191 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: things that are always in contradiction to each other. You know, 192 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: the vaccines work so well, Oh my god, unless everyone 193 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: around me is vaccine and I was vaccinated vaccine, I'm 194 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna get so sick and die. Even from 195 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: thirty years old, I'm starting to see people are understanding 196 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: that this can't continue, as it is the only thing 197 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: that would change that trajectory. In my opinion isn't even 198 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: really a case thing. It's a if we see the 199 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: hospitalizations and the deaths start to go up considerably again, 200 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: which would just be an indicator of not just vaccines 201 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: waning in efficacy, but effectively failing after a time period. 202 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: And that's the big question mark that we have to 203 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: see how it plays out in the wintertime. But I Clay, 204 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: I have more. I have another sports thing, no way, 205 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: that I would like to talk to you about. It's 206 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: one that I've I've been fired up about for a while. 207 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: It has to do with transgender stuff and mixed martial arts. 208 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: I want to tell everybody, big surprise, there was a 209 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: biological male who beat a biological female in a fight 210 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: over the weekend. But this is now happening at the 211 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: professional level. We'll discuss this when we come back. You know, 212 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: going online without express VPN is like leaving your laptop 213 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: open and a coffee shop. Will you go and stand 214 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: in line for a refill? I mean, look, yeah, usually 215 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fine, but what about when it's not right? 216 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: That ruins your day, ruins your month. If you're working online, 217 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: you need to use express VPN. A VPN is a 218 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: virtual Private network. What it does is it creates a secure, 219 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: encrypted connection between your device and the Internet, a tunnel 220 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: if you will. That way, hackers can't steal your sensitive data. 221 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: You know, like what's on the emails, the information you 222 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: use to buy products online. All that stuff is going 223 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: back and forth and Clay, every time somebody connects to 224 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: an unencrypted network cafes, hotels, airports, their online data is 225 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: just not secure without a VPN, no doubt. Any hacker 226 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: can get access still your personal data and they can 227 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: sell that info for thousands of dollars on the Internet. Now, 228 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: Express VPN helps to keep that from happening, and it's 229 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: super easy to use.

Welcome back to the Clay Travison Buck Sexton Show. 238 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: If you want to weigh in on COVID vaccine mandates, 239 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: the insurrection nine to eleven, comparisons football over the weekend, 240 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: anything that has gotten your attention to end the show 241 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two, and 242 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: I have a sports store that called my attention Actually 243 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: no way want to right it happens, mister Travis, and 244 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: not just a bunch of bunch of foreign dudes playing 245 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: tennis at the US Open over the weekend. It was 246 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: actually quite amazing to watch Medvedev just tear apart the 247 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: greatest ten It just goes to show, even when you're 248 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, you can have a bad night, 249 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: even the best of all time, I mean play. You know, 250 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: it's just the way it is sometimes. But it used 251 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: to be that they're in the earlier days of the 252 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: transgender rights debate and the movement around it, that you 253 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: could say, okay, well, we could all agree that there 254 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: should be some things. You know, you shouldn't have men 255 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: biological males playing on women's sports team. Maybe we should 256 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: just be able to say men, by the way, because 257 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: men and women are actual categorizations that exist in reality, 258 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: despite what the Left things, and they said no, no, no, 259 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: And so now you do have people who will be 260 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: competing in things, whether it's you know, they'll be Remember 261 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: there was the transgender handball player I believe, who's like, 262 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, a foot and a half taller than most 263 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: other girls on the Olympian the Olympic weightlifter weightlifter, right, 264 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: Laurel Hubbard. We've talked about. But even beyond that, we said, okay, 265 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: well we could all agree that there should be some things, 266 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean, combative sports, boxing, jiu jitsu, mixed martial arts. 267 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: You're not going to subject a woman to fighting a man, 268 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: a biological male. That's just wrong. That's just unethical. It 269 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: would be like having somebody in a boxing match who's 270 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: just all, you know, juiced up on steroids fighting somebody 271 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: who's not. That's not right, that's not fair. Right. I'm 272 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: not talking about two men in that in that example, 273 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: but a lot of McLoughlin is the second openly transgender 274 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: woman to compete in MMA in the United States. One her, 275 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: because we all have to say her, that's the requirement. 276 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: Now debut Friday night via submission at in Miami, Florida. 277 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: This is an individual. McLoughlin, former US Army Special Forces 278 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: retired in twenty ten. I mean, Clay, I just think 279 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: this is gross, man. I know that there are people 280 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: that want to push for this kind of you know, 281 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: they think this is a new berration movement or a 282 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: new civil rights movement or whatever. You look at the 283 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: two bodies one's a man, one's a woman, and a 284 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: man fighting a woman should be viewed by everybody as 285 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: wrong and beyond just wrong from a sports competition perspective. Yeah, 286 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: and I think this is one of the places where 287 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: you run up against the reality of transgender rights. I 288 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: think there's a huge percentage of people out there. I 289 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: would put myself in this category. If you decide that 290 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: you want to change your gender, and you are an adult, 291 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: and you think it will make you happier and you 292 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: can afford to do it whatever, I mean, I just don't. 293 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't get that worked up about it, right. I 294 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: understand some people are upset about that idea, But me, 295 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: I think I'm like whatever. I think that's probably the majority. 296 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: I I really don't care. But when you start telling 297 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: me that you are going to have men who are 298 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: biological men competing against women, and that, by the way, 299 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be happening in some of our high schools. 300 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: There's a lawsuit out there. I'd encourage you guys to 301 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: read out of Kinnectic, where the Connecticut state high school 302 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: champion now in many different sports is a man who 303 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: identifies as a woman. And if you think out there, 304 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: you've got a daughter, you've got a granddaughters, you got 305 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: somebody who has worked her entire life trying to be 306 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: good at something, and then they end up losing to 307 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: a biological man. It's just not right. It fundamentally distorts 308 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: the entire basis of athletics, and so Buck, You're right. 309 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: It's even worse in combat sports or weightlifting, places where 310 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: being physically large is a tremendous advantage. And I think 311 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: I can't believe that we even have this going on. 312 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: It's pure madness. Got to stay healthy these days, folks. 313 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: Do everything you can to make your immune system fire 314 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: on all cylinders, right, you know that's critical.

I've known doctor Black 317 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: for years. This guy is the real deal. Texas super 318 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: Food is fifty five vine ripe and fruits and vegetables 319 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: plus probiotic and digestive enzymes, so you can build your 320 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: bodies defense from the inside out.

And some of the details are 349 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: coming out. The House of Representatives has finalized some of 350 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: their detailed tax codes. And I gotta hit you with this, Buck, 351 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: because you're a New Yorker. The headline at CNBC right now, 352 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: top earning New Yorkers could face a sixty one point 353 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: two percent come by tax rate under Joe Biden's House 354 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: of Representatives theory tax plan. Californians would face a fifty 355 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: nine percent rate. And these obviously are adding up the 356 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: state and local. You your federal income tax, city, state, 357 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: federal combined up to sixty one point two percent buck 358 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: when you and I didn't even But in New York 359 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: City combined top marginal state and city tax rates forty 360 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: fourteen point eight percent. So New York City taxpayers who 361 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: were the highest earning could face a sixty one point 362 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: two percent tax rate. And I gotta be honest with you, 363 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if you are a top earning New Yorker, now, 364 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: why would you stay in the city. If you're a 365 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: top earning Californian, why would you stay in the city 366 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: or state out in California. I think a lot of 367 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: people are just throwing up their hands and saying, I'm moving. 368 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: The tax rates have just become two owners. Well, the 369 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: data shows that. I mean, you actually can see who's 370 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: gaining people, who's losing people as states right now, and 371 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: there is not some blue stronghold. I mean, we think 372 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: of New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois. None of these states 373 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: have people clamoring to come into them who are already 374 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: in America. There are substantial what's instant is there are 375 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: substantial immigrant inflows into some and including by the way, 376 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. In places like New York. People often Forget, 377 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: California as a state has the most illegal immigrants in 378 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: the country, but New York City as a city unsurprisingly 379 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: has the greatest concentration of illegal aliens in one place 380 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: and Clay This is exactly what people have been saying 381 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: would happen. But Democrats seem to not really care. But 382 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: I think that the problem that they're going to face 383 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: now is that New York, just to speak as a 384 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: New Yorker, used to be a placed where if you 385 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: wanted a certain kind of job at a certain level, 386 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: if you wanted a different you know, if you wanted 387 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: opportunities in media, if you want opportunities in finance, you're 388 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: going to work at one of the biggest advertise and 389 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: companies in the world. You had to actually be in 390 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: New York. But yeah, they had offices elsewhere, but usually 391 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: had to start out here. Right, you want to be 392 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: a Goldman Sachs Banker bro, you got to start out 393 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: in New York City. Same thing. If you wanted to 394 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: be in a Hollywood you actually were in la and 395 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: you know, you're passing your screenplay around and people all 396 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. That whole world has changed, and 397 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: we've seen it change more rapidly because of COVID than 398 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: at any other time in memory, where now you have Yeah, 399 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: some people are remote working, some people are not. There's 400 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: a lot of companies that are still figuring out what 401 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: the mix is going to be. But we ran a 402 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: twelve month can you work remote test for a lot 403 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: of people who are particularly high earners and the answer 404 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: was yes. And in that environment. Now, remember, some companies 405 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: may say you have to come back to the office. 406 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: People say, well, okay, maybe I'll go work for that 407 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: slightly lesser known or that startup or that mid tier, 408 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: mid range company that does this. I have the same 409 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: skill set. And I'm seeing this happen with people that 410 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: I know, friends of mine who are saying, I'm heading 411 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: to Florida, I'm heading to Texas. Friend am I just 412 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: yesterday tweeted out that she was looking for her houses 413 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: in Texas. Lifelong New Yorker like me, Clay. At some point, 414 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: the value proposition swings too far in the other direction, 415 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: and when you have no salt deduction either, I mean, 416 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: you start to do the numbers on this. You look 417 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: at what a cost to have a house, you look 418 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: at what a cost in taxes. You just say Why 419 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: what am I? What am I getting for being here 420 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: in some blue enclave where the crime is rising, the 421 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: streets are dirty, the taxes are too high, and I'm like, 422 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: I've been my whole life a New York super fan, 423 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: super defender. Even I lived here when things are really crappy. 424 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: I grew up here and things really crappy. In the nineties, 425 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: I saw the miracle of Julianism and the city becoming 426 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: so safe that it was like felt like Disneyland. You're 427 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: walking around here, real estate prices skyrocketing, restaurants are amazing, 428 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But now let's going the other direction, Clay, 429 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: And it's not just it's New York, it's San Francisco, 430 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: it's Los Angeles, it's Chicago's happening all over the place. 431 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: You can't find a house in Nashville. I mean, you 432 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: just can't like my neighborhood. The minute that the houses 433 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: go on the market, they are selling for far in 434 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: excess of what they're even listed for. And most of 435 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: the people that are moving here buck are coming from California, 436 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: They're coming from New York, and they're coming from the 437 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: Chicago area. They are fleeing high tax areas to come here. 438 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: We have no state income tax in Tennessee, no state 439 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: income tax in Florida, no state income tax in Texas, 440 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: and you start to do the math on how much 441 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: you can save. We talked about California and New York. 442 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: New Jersey fifty seven point two percent top tax rate, 443 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: Hawaii fifty seven point four percent top tax rates. This 444 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: is under the Democrats proposed plans. Now, ironically, the guy 445 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: who may be saving some of these blue enclaves is 446 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: a West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, who has just said, hey, 447 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: these as increases, these budgets, the three and a half 448 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: trillion Bernie Bill, it's out of control. Here's what Joe 449 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: Manchin said, play cut twenty. He will not have my 450 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: vote on three point five And Chuck knows that. And 451 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: we've talked about this. We've already put out five point 452 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: four trillion, and we've tried to help Americans and every 453 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: way we possibly can. And a lot of the help 454 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: that we put out there is still there and it's 455 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: going to run clear until next year twenty twenty two. 456 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: What's the urgency? What's the urgency that we have? It's 457 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: not the same urgency that we have with American Rescue Plan. 458 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: We got that out to do a quick yu it 459 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: was about two billion dollars two trillion. And on top 460 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: of that, you know all the things we've pat with 461 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: the Carris Package, everything leading up to that. So we 462 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: have done an awful lot and there's still an awful 463 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: lot of people that need help. But you have eleven 464 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: million jobs that aren't filled right now, eight million people 465 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: are still unemployed. Something's not matching up. Don't you think 466 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: we ought to hit the pause and find out? Yes? 467 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: Pretty reasonable? Yeah, it's Clay. It's amazing to be the 468 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: reasonable voice in the room when you're the guy who says, 469 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: we've already spent six trillion, let's maybe do one and 470 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: a half trillion. And in addition to the six trillion, 471 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: three point five trillion more, I mean, look at how 472 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: many global economies even have a a GDP of three 473 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. I mean, you start to look at these 474 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: numbers to put it all on perspective, and and I worry, Clay. 475 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I give I give credit for this to 476 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: Neval Ravacan, who's a Silicon Valley guy who just a 477 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: really interesting thinker. By we should have him on the 478 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: show at somebodd sold already really interesting guy. I think 479 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: he was the founder of angel List. But he's a 480 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: contrarian but a precise thinker, and he tweeted something out 481 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: about how, Yeah, the thing about inflation is that before 482 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: it gets really painful and ugly, stock market goes up, 483 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: employment often starts to really go up, assets go up 484 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: in value that you own. But then the foundation beneath 485 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: all this starts to crumble. And then then you have, 486 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: you know, people realizing, oh my dollars are worth less, 487 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: My dollars are worth less, and things get a whole 488 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: lot less fun on the economic front. Yeah, and that's 489 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: the thing that frustrates me the most as a guy 490 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: who built and sold a small business and still is 491 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: hiring a lot of people. There is a fantastical disassociation 492 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. Modern monetary theory is what it's called, 493 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: between economic reality and business practices that have worked for 494 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: hundreds of years in capitalistic economies. And it's like we're 495 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: pretending buck truths and those verities and those realities don't 496 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: exist anymore, and it's leading us to absolute chaos. I 497 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: really am afraid.

A firm but respectful. If he comes on 541 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: the show, I doubt he will do it. Clay. I 542 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say the Fouch likes the friendly 543 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: outlets he doesn't like. He's gonna come on here and 544 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: Clay will be all, Oh, but I don't like masks 545 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: and forced vaccination and all your natural immunity talk. He's 546 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: not gonna like any of that. I've already put the 547 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: poll question up. We've already during the commercial break, basically 548 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: gotten two thousand votes. Ninety two percent say that doctor 549 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: Fauci will decline our request despite the fact that he's 550 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: doing every media outlet in the country. I mean, really, 551 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: he's been everywhere. We've got the biggest radio show in 552 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: the country, and honestly, we would have a respectful conversation. 553 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: We disagree on a lot, but ninety two percent of 554 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: you are of the opinion. I wouldn't even ask him. 555 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even ask him. So, why did you lie 556 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: under oath about Gaina function research or whatever? I would 557 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: be more polite about him lying under oath about Gaina 558 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: function research. N say, why did you have a lapse 559 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: of judgment in your discussion under oath with Congress? You know, 560 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: polite style. Clay, I'm not even that worried about gain 561 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: a function. I would just like for him to talk 562 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: with us about natural beauty. Yeah, well, I mean, just 563 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: answer those questions. They dodge that scientific reality because it 564 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: does not fit with the narrative of the CDC is 565 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: going to save everybody, which unfortunately is not true. Would 566 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: you want to get some calls a lot, even patient, 567 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: a lot, even calling in here. We got Doug in Utah, 568 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: father two in their thirties. Good to have you on, Doug. 569 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: What's up? Hey? I love you guys, Thank you, we 570 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: love you doing to carry on Russia's legacy. I love 571 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: the format of this show, so thank you for what 572 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,719 Speaker 1: you guys are doing. So I got a question and 573 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: then I need to just bust at the end of that. 574 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: Clay's chops just a tad, but I wanted to ask you. So, 575 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: my wife and I were in our early sixties. I'm 576 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: sixty long she just turned sixty three, so yes, she 577 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: did you know Rob the Cradle a little bit. But 578 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: our kids are millennials and to my just ah inks 579 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: it's like, how in the heck do you believe what 580 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: you believe? And it's like and they go, oh, where 581 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: are getting all your data from? Where are getting your 582 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: information from? The Clay and Buck Show. It's like, I 583 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: can't win. It's like, I mean, it sounds like the 584 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: answers yes, which is yeah, yes it is and before 585 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: you yes it was rush. So it's like, are you 586 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: kidding me? And I'm like, I love my kids, we 587 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: have a great relationship, but we can't sit around the 588 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: dinner table on a Sunday and have these conversations. So 589 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: the sites that they go to and that they listen to, 590 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: they're vaccinated. My wife and I are not vaccinated, and 591 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: that's becoming a real sticking point with us. And it's 592 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: just how do I talk to I mean, guys are 593 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: not my age, but you've got kids play one day, 594 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: maybe you'll have kids. I mean back, you'll have kids, 595 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: But how you talk to your kids about this such 596 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: I am a millennial. I think I think Clay aged 597 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: out at Jenna. I missed millennials by like eight months 598 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: or something. I'm a great bearded millennial, so I can 599 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: speak from the perspective of not all of us are 600 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: MSNBC watching lunatics Doug. So that's not that your kids 601 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: are lunatics. But you know what I'm saying, not everyone 602 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: has been drinking the kool aid of fauciism from even 603 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: the thirties perspective. I think, Doug, what I try to 604 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: do with my kids, and my kids are young, you know, thirteen, 605 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: We have two birthdays this week, so I gotta keep 606 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: track of exactly how old they are, but eighth grade 607 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: or fifth grade or first grader. What I try to 608 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: do is talk to them based on facts because it's 609 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: not as emotional. So I can't pretend to know how 610 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: your kids are going to respond, Doug. But I think 611 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: looking at actual CDC data and laying it out for 612 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: your kids with the emotion. See what the problem I 613 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: see in a country today. The biggest problem is that 614 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: everything is anecdotal. It's like, oh, this person who's twenty 615 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: four years old had a severe COVID issue, and so 616 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: that means all twenty four year olds are an issue. 617 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: Or look at what happened to this eight year old. 618 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: They tell you that kids aren't in danger, but look 619 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: at what happened to this eight year old. And it 620 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: spreads virally, but it's not representative. It's an outlier sample size, right, 621 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, so much man for calling in. We appreciate it. 622 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: God bless you, and thanks for listening, and please stay 623 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: with us here every day, Clay you order. It really 624 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: reminds me of actually, shark attacks. People are people. Look, 625 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. How many of us have been 626 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: in the ocean and something tug at your foot. You 627 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: might be your buddy who's you know, having a go 628 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: at you or something, but you know you feel something 629 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: a little weird. You go, huh, you think you're in 630 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: a scene from Jaws. Your chance of being attacked by 631 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: a shark is It's not zero, So I can't tell 632 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: you someone listening to this at some point might get 633 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: a little bite from a from a bullshark or something. 634 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: It's not. But it's basically zero insofar as you should 635 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: be worried about it when you're swimming, unless you're like 636 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: chumming the water and you see great whites want to 637 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: go pat one on the head. Same thing with a 638 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: lot of this COVID stuff. It's like shark attacks. Jonathan 639 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: and Tennessee, what do you got for us? Jonathan Way, Hey, 640 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: this is gonna be kind of like Christy Gnomes interview.

Are talking about the Titans, not saying you're 644 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: praising them when they have gone full on woke. They've 645 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: gone full on woke. I have denounced the NFL, the NBA. No, 646 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: I won't say the MLB all the way, but how 647 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: do you get I mean for real, how can you 648 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: talk about the Titans when they have their own national anthem? Well, 649 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: they didn't play the black national anthem, which we'll talk 650 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: about in the third hour. I think we got a 651 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: clip from Bill Maher. I believe that if you like something, 652 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,479 Speaker 1: you don't allow them to take it from you without fighting, right, 653 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: I'm ustand some people are like, I'm just going to 654 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: turn off the television. First of all, I run a 655 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: sports media company, so I'm going to talk about sports 656 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: as part of my career. But even more so, I 657 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,439 Speaker 1: think if you allow the woke idiots to win without opposition, 658 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: then you are giving away a big part of our country. 659 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: So I'm not going to give up my interest and 660 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,280 Speaker 1: like for sports because I think some of the leaders 661 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: of those sports are making ridiculous decisions. I understand some 662 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: people disagree, but that's my perspective. I want to fight 663 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: and I want to win and bring sports back to everybody. 664 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: Jonathan Hey, appreciate it, man, Thank you for calling in 665 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: back with Moreen just a few you're listening to.
