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 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Tuesday edition. I am play Travis, 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: he is Buck Sexton. We appreciate all of you hanging 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: out with us. We have got a bevy of different 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: topics to dive into, among them the mess at the border, 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: where we are going to begin here in a moment, 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is speaking at the u N. Senator Ron 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: Johnson of Wisconsin will join us in the third hour 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: of the program. And an interesting question, how does COVID 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: fear porn panic? How does it end? How do we 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: get back to normalcy? Interesting question to debate, but we 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: begin with a big question. How is it that suddenly 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: between twelve and fourteen thousand would be immigrants illegally crossed 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: the border, most of them from a Haiti, which is 15 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: an island nation. How have they suddenly all ended up 16 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: simultaneously in Del Rio, Texas in such massive numbers. Remember, 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Del Rio, Texas only has around thirty five thousand people 18 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: who live in that town in general, and it hasn't 19 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: been a traditional hot spot in terms of border crossings, 20 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: at least not historically. What happened who may have paid 21 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: or financed this number of people to suddenly make their 22 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: way from South America. How did all of these Haitians 23 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: end up in South America in the first place to 24 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: make an attempt to cross the border in the United States. 25 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: These are all big questions that need to be answered, 26 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: but we begin with Secretary Mayorcas, who has finally made 27 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: a trip down to the border. He was asked whether 28 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: or not this was a crisis, and essentially he refused 29 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: to answer. I don't think we expected the rapidity of 30 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: the increase that occurred. We are realistic about the human 31 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: tragedy of this, but we have a responsibility not only 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: to the well being of the micrants themselves, but the 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: well brief being of the local communities and the American public. 34 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was asked about this situation. It's one of 35 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: many crisises that are currently occurring in the midst of 36 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: his failed first year presidency, and our dear leader, well, 37 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: he didn't have much to say, as the president rank 38 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: you guys, let's go, thank you, let's thank you. Let's go, 39 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you, Let's go, thank you. 40 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Come on, guys, let's go, thank you, Let's go. Let's go. 41 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's go. That's got to be quite a job, Clay. 42 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: They shut down the press so they can't actually get 43 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: moments stumbling in classroom Joe to say anything about this. 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean, to your question about the coordination, I will 45 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: tell you I just spoke yesterday to a friend on 46 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: border patrol at some length about this, and they don't know, 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: they don't know yet exactly how it's gone. But I 48 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: do know that in other situations, and this goes back 49 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: to the caravans coming out of Central America, particularly out 50 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 1: of Honduras and Al Salvador, and it's social media coordination, 51 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: in close coordinate, so individuals will coordinate on social media, 52 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: and then the coyotes, the human smugglers working for the cartels, 53 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: will contact different groups and work with them, communicate with them, 54 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: and obviously set up the payment system. I mean, I 55 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: was down in the Rio Grande section seeing you could 56 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: see Clay all over the place, these little wristbands that 57 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: had been discarded to show that people, every individual, man, 58 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: woman and child crossing had paid, just to give everyone 59 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: a sense of how much of a business this is. 60 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: It was like one of those nightclubs. Instead of a 61 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: stamp or a bracelet for a nightclub. You're doing it 62 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: for a drug cartel that's getting thousands of dollars ahead 63 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: to bring you in. So there is digital coordination and 64 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: with the cartels as well, they decide that they're going 65 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: to start moving groups of people. What's so interesting about 66 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: this is obviously getting from Haiti to Mexico not a 67 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: simple not a simple thing, but a lot of Even 68 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: most of these Haitian migrants are coming out of South America. 69 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: They had already flanned Haiti and for some reason believe 70 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: that now was a good time. I think we all 71 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: know it's because the Biden administrations in charge. Now is 72 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: a particularly good time to try to play the system 73 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: and get back into the Unite or get into rather 74 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: the United States illegally. So that's that's what the sum 75 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: total of what I could get from border Patrol yesterday was. Basically, 76 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: we know, we know there's coordination, we know it's a 77 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: major operation. They're not coming from Haiti for the most part, 78 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: they're actually coming from country south of Mexico. Yes, And 79 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: they don't have much information on the logistics yet of 80 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: how this was organized and why now. So these are 81 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: big questions. If we a different administration. I think they'd 82 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: want to get more to the bottom of it, Clay, 83 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I have a feeling this administration would rather sit around 84 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: and let this pass. And what's intriguing about it too, 85 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: is it feels set up in the context of if 86 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: you watched and saw all of the attention for border 87 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: patrol who were on horses and their attempt to restrain 88 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: people that went viral, Oh my god, they're whipping Haitian 89 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: would be Haitian immigrants. It feels set up as a 90 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: distraction of sorts. To me, right, that was a lie too, 91 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: they were then, But just just to be clear for everybody, 92 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: the story that went viral, and even Jen Saki weighed 93 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: in on this one, saying, you know, oh, it looks 94 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: so horrible, extremely troubling, you know, the usual stuff. Well, 95 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: it's not extremely troubling if it's not true. Right, A 96 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: thing that did not happen should not be described by 97 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: the White House Press Secretary as extremely troubling. But we 98 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: all understand this is the favorite media game, Clay. When 99 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: there's a huge surge, when it's Central American migrants at 100 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: the border, what do they tend to do. They'll find 101 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: a story of a six year old abandoned at the border, 102 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the entire focus of the 103 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: national news media for the few days they have to 104 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: talk about the border is look at this sick, hungry child, 105 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: and every human being who sees this goes, oh, my gosh, 106 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: of course, we have to help the sick, hungry child, 107 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: which is completely true. In addition to that, though, there 108 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: are thousands and thousands of able bodied adults who are 109 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: making the choice to violate US sovereignty and break the 110 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: law and are rewarded for it. And a way of 111 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: distracting from that is finding these very specific human interest 112 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: stories that fit into the narrative. And I think that's 113 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: why they jumped on this story. I mean, think of it. Really, 114 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: border patrol is going to go around whipping people. Given 115 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: all the focus on this, does anyone really believe that 116 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: that's not a sport to patrol? You? But by the way, 117 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: people did believe in Clay Well, it's anecdote driven society, 118 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: which is what we've become. So and this goes across 119 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: the board, and I think it's the biggest flaw of 120 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: why our nation is so we should play the ken 121 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Burns audio at some point as well, where he talks 122 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: about how we're facing divisions like in the Civil War. 123 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: But I think it's because whatever narrative you want to believe, 124 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: there is an element of truth to it in that 125 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: there are awful stories that are heart stringing that are 126 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: involved in any particular major incident. Right you can go 127 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: find a twenty four year old who died with COVID. 128 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that if you're twenty four, you're going 129 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: to die with COVID or you're under risk. But when 130 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: CNN features it or it's on the front page of 131 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: the New York Times, that outlier story resonates in a 132 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: way that the data doesn't reflect that it should, and 133 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: we end up with a political class that is so 134 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: afraid of trending for the wrong reasons that they start 135 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: to define policy based on anecdote. And any policy that's 136 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: driven by anecdote is going to be a failed policy. 137 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: The way the media likes to focus in attention from 138 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: the public is driven by emotion. I mean they're they're 139 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: creating narratives, as you say, based off of these these anecdotes, 140 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: and it's a way of getting people to take very 141 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: specific to come to very specific conclusions about a circumstance 142 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: that really doesn't actually get to the heart of the issue, right, 143 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, so you can focus on you can do 144 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: a human interest profile on one migrant, and you know, 145 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: this is the this migrant, by the way, you know, 146 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: has a PhD in astrophysics, and this migrant, you know, 147 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: saved twenty kids from a burning orphanage back in Guatemala 148 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: or in Haiti, or in the Philippines or wherever. And 149 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, then people read that and they go, 150 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we should just let you know, we 151 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: should let everybody in wants to come to this country. 152 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: We're a nation of immigrants. Well they don't talk about, 153 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: is why have an immigration system in the first place. 154 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: If you're going to have fifteen thousand people at a 155 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: time just gathering under a bridge trying to either run 156 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: into the United States and or play the system by 157 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: pretending to be refugees. The reason it's so important that 158 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: they're not coming, for example, directly from Haiti is that 159 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: under actual definitions of what a refugee is or what 160 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: an asylum seeker is, right, asylum seekers one who shows 161 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: up in your country and says I need to be 162 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: here because I'm feeling oppression, right, refugees apply from other 163 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: countries to do that. If they're already in Columbia, Clay, 164 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: they're not refugees in America right there. They're not asylum 165 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: seekers here. But this part of the process is what 166 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: is being abused, and it's such a shame because it 167 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: is actually here the goodness of the American people through 168 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: the lens of our willingness to take in, not people 169 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: that are you know, going to be immediately wildly productive. Exactly. 170 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: This is not you know, h one is not the 171 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: intellectual first round draft picks that we can that we 172 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: often take from other countries to allow them to flourish. 173 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: The asylum system is specifically to give safe harbor to 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: a number of people who are fleeing true violence, oppression, 175 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: and possible death. And at our southern border, it's turned 176 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: into let's show up as a family unit and game 177 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: the system so that we don't have to go through 178 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: the normal process, and that also, by the way, puts 179 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: pressure on the rest of the of the immigration system 180 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: that's meant to help the people that we're truly trying 181 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: to help. Right it's creating resource train and taking slots 182 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: and time away from those people, and the asylum is 183 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: such that it takes years for our courts to actually 184 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: work through the asylum process. In the meantime, they're living 185 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: here and we still have what is an antiquated notion 186 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,239 Speaker 1: in many ways, which is if you're born in the country, 187 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: you become a citizen, right, which is consistent. Yeah, this 188 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: is not something that other countries have. In this country, 189 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: If you bring this up, it's considered racist. I just 190 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: had to this clay though, that there's no interior enforcement 191 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: going on either. When you talk to people in Immigrations 192 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: and Customs enforcement, very very few deportations happening under the 193 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: Biden administration. They remember, they shut it down. They wanted 194 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: to shut it down for one hundred days officially. So 195 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: the notion of the immigration of the asylum, it's all 196 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: a joke. Lay, They've made the whole thing a big joke. 197 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: You know, as you correctly point out, it would take years. 198 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: Does anyone really think the family that's been here for 199 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: three or four years all of a sudden and immigration 200 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: judge is going to say, you know what, now we're 201 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: finally going to send you back. You showed up. They 202 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: don't even show up for these hearings and nothing happens 203 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: to them. That's the whole point, that's the whole game. 204 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: And the wild thing here too from the Haiti perspective 205 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: is I think that there is an element because of 206 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: the assassination of the president, because of the earthquake, because 207 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: of the perpetual tempests that exists in Haiti. I think 208 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,479 Speaker 1: probably what happened is whoever organized this said, hey, Haitian refugees, 209 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: this is about as good of an opportunity to try 210 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,599 Speaker 1: to claim that you are in danger and should be 211 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: able to come here, even though, as you rightly point out, Buck, 212 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: the wild story is we're talking about an island nation. 213 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: Somehow these people ended up in South America. They work 214 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: their way all the way up here, and they all 215 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden, twelve or fourteen thousand of them all 216 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: arrive in Del Rio, Texas. There's a big story here 217 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: about who funded this, how it happened, and why it's 218 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: happening now that I think we need to know the 219 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: answer to as we continue to unpack this massive mess 220 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: that exists in the border. The stock market can be 221 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: a volatile place if you're an investor looking to protect 222 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: your savings and hard earned dollars. It's hard to do 223 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: so with confidence when the market's off by six hundred 224 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: points on the speculation of a real estate company in 225 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: China defaulting on its loans. Why does that have an 226 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: effect on your retirement plan? Gold is key when it 227 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: comes to protecting your assets. It's in steady and sturdy 228 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: as a financial protection plan as you can get. For 229 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: that reason, should be an important part of your portfolio. 230 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: My partners that the Oxford Gold Group can help. They 231 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: have precious metals that can be purchased and delivered to 232 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: your home. There's nothing like real gold being delivered to 233 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: your front door. So if you think buying Real Goal 234 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: is complicated, my friends at the Oxford Gold Group are 235 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: who you need to call. They will explain everything to you. 236 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: Having Real Goal delivered to your home or having Real 237 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: Goal as part of your IRA. It's just a phone 238 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: call away with Oxford Gold and it makes really good sense. 239 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: Call them at eight three three four zero four Gold 240 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: and learn how you can have real gold in your 241 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: IRA and delivered to your door, just like I've done. 242 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: I have real gold at home because of the Oxford 243 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: Gold Group. Call them now eight three three four zero 244 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: four Gold eight three three four zero four g o 245 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: l D radio listeners pay far greater attention the connection 246 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: that's unbreakable from the DNA of America's anchor man Clay 247 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton on the EIB network that the challenge, 248 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: what's a lot right now? You know I've got to 249 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: I've got I'm gonna stop you right there. Let me 250 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: just say very clearly, we are focused on meeting the challenge. 251 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: We are focused on mission, the challenge of getting as 252 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: many illegal immigrants into the country by bending and bending 253 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: over backwards when it comes to US laws possible. Welcome 254 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: back to Clay and Buck show. This is Buck and 255 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: that was DHS Secretary Mayorcus And but you have to 256 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: know you have to filter everything that they say about 257 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: the crisis at the southern border through a very specific lens. There. 258 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: It is the Biden administration because of the open borders 259 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Democrat left, because of the squad, and because of the 260 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: progressive van guard within the Democrat Party that's calling a 261 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: lot of the shots. They don't want the same outcome 262 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: that you would think they would want when it comes 263 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: to the border based on their their pretense that there's 264 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: law and order as a concept that we all share. 265 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: We all want the same thing Clay at the border, 266 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: except we don't because they benefit from this politically. And 267 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: the problem that they have is not one of lawlessness, 268 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: is not the enriching of the cartels through this whole process. Remember, 269 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: migrants have to pay whether they get turned away or 270 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: not once they get taken to the border. Migrants have 271 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: to make the cartels more powerful and influential in mid 272 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: Mexico and the transfer lines that are set up here regardless. 273 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: But Clay, all this is going on, and the issue 274 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: for the Democrats is one of optics. It's not people 275 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: are scheming our system, gaming our system, getting around the 276 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: immigration laws, taking advantage of the goodness of the American people. 277 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: It's this looks bad. We better get those drones out 278 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: of their airspace over their asap because the American people 279 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: are seeing what the Biden administrations for I mean, not 280 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: foreign well, it is kind of a foreign policy issue, 281 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: but border policy looks like well. And also remember AOC 282 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: showing up in that all white outfit and having her 283 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: photo taken like with her hand raised, you know, with 284 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: the kids that were in the border patrol cages that 285 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: were supposedly created by the Trump administration that actually were 286 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: created under the Obama administration. And I think the essence 287 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: of this is what should be getting hammered home time 288 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: after time. And I wonder on some level whether all 289 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: of the crisises that are befalling the Biden administration right 290 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: now actually help in regards to the chaos at the border, 291 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: because there's so much askew, there's so much a drift 292 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: in terms of what we are doing right now as 293 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: a country buck that any one failure doesn't stand out, 294 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: does it make sense? Like you know, it's not like 295 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: there's just one bad thing and everybody can focus on that. 296 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: There are so many incompetencies going on right now in 297 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: the Biden administration, including Joe Biden himself. And we haven't 298 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: even hardly talked about the UN speech because it was 299 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: such a nonentity in many ways in terms of actually 300 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: saying anything. But there's a lot of distractions that makes sense. 301 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: Of course, there's so many bad things people willing to 302 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: pay attention to. We are getting numb to the dumbness 303 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. We're seeing so much go on 304 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: here that you say, how could they make But see, 305 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 1: this is why I think the border is so critical 306 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: claim because it's a They say it's a challenge, and 307 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: they're right insofar as it's a challenge of optics. For 308 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: left wing socialist Democrats. It's a crisis to you and 309 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: me and the people listening who want an orderly, rule 310 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: of law based immigration system, who want rule of law 311 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: at our southern border. It's a crisis to those people. 312 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: We don't see this the same way left and right 313 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans, the Biden administration and conservatives in this country. 314 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: It's not just that the you know, the outcome is 315 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: a little bit different here, but we're ultimately trying to 316 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: get to the same place. They have a fundamentally different 317 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: vision of what America's immigration policy should be, and it's 318 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: bringing as many people from the developing world as possible, 319 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: so they will vote Democrat.

It's gonna be cool. It's great 363 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: to get outside and meet people in many of these 364 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: different affiliate markets all over the country. I'm looking forward 365 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: to it and obviously be my first time going to 366 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: a big time college football game, as well as being 367 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: I've actually never been down to Birmingham before, so it'll 368 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: be my first visit to the great city of Birmingham, Alabama. Yeah, 369 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be absolutely fantastic. I can't wait for 370 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: that to take place. A lot of big events going 371 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: on and in Red State America. Those big events college 372 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: football games, NFL games don't really require vaccine passports for 373 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: the most part, don't require masks. People are getting back 374 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: to normalcy. Well, it looked normal if you're a big 375 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: fan of streaming and TV and everything else. The Emmys 376 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: took place on Sunday, Buck and we kind of talked 377 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: about this a little bit. If you were watching, you 378 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: might have said, Hey, this looks totally normal. None of 379 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: the actors and actresses, none of the comedians up on 380 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: the stage making jokes, none of them had masks on 381 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: at all. And I tweeted about this because we've been focused. 382 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: We hear from a lot of you out in La 383 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: about there draconian restrictions that are under place right now 384 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: for kids. Right if you have a two year old 385 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: in daycare in LA County, they have to wear masks. 386 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: If you have a kindergartener in LA County in school, 387 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: they have to wear masks. And so I'm sitting around saying, wait, 388 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: if we're going to require two year olds to wear masks, 389 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: why do all these super wealthy celebrities at the Emmys 390 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: not have to wear masks? And they tried to put 391 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: out a statement explaining why after many people ask that 392 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: same question that we were asking yesterday, how is it 393 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: that we ended up with this totally divergent situation where 394 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: now that they said it was a tent, but it 395 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: was effectively indoors. There's no social distancing, and everything is 396 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: completely normal for the Emmys, But your kids can't go 397 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: to daycare without masks. This is too good, this is 398 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: too good, this is the best. So usually we sit 399 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: here and we would say to everybody, oh my gosh, 400 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: look look at the hypocrisy at work here right. There's 401 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: so there's different versions of this. You have the mayor 402 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: of San Francisco London degree, for example, version where she 403 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: just says, I'm important, I'm powerful, my friends and I 404 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: were having fun. I don't care what you say. That's 405 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: one version of this, okay fun. What happened with the 406 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: Emmys is even more enraging. But also, folks, it's so perfect. 407 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: At the same time, here's what they what they ended 408 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: up putting out, what they end up telling everybody they 409 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: were not in fact in see what what Clay just 410 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: laid out is, this makes no sense. Adults are more 411 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: at risk and more likely to spread the virus. The 412 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: vaccine does not prevent you from spreading the virus. As 413 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: we all know, children aren't very low risk. Very Also, 414 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: they leave this out now and I don't see. I 415 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: don't know if this has allegedly changed because of data, 416 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: but children are also and have been from the beginning, 417 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 1: less likely to spread the virus, probably because their immune 418 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: systems clear it so quickly as well. That's a part 419 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: of this, right, if you're sick for a week, more 420 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: likely you're gonna have a viral load that's high. That 421 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: if you clear this in twenty four hours or forty 422 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: eight hours with no symptoms. Most kids never know the 423 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: exactly as some children do. But the part, the part 424 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: of this that's great, folks, and this is important. This 425 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 1: is not just something that we sit here and go 426 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: look at these clowns, although we're doing that too, is 427 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: that the Los Angeles Health Department has in place an exemption, 428 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: an exemption for TV production and stars who are considered 429 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: performers in a TV production. So essentially, because the Emmys 430 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: they treat it like it's one big TV show. It's 431 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: almost like they're filming a onset, you know, soap opera 432 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: or something. So everybody there is technically in compliance because 433 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: they knew the whole tent thing, by the way, that 434 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: that was really weak sauce, so that everywhere there is 435 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: in compliance. So this is the difference, Clay. We have 436 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: now actually gone to the point where it's not just 437 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: the different implementation of the rules or the hypocrisy around them. 438 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: This is now like orwell animal farm, where they're changing 439 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: the rules to typically benefits certain favored groups. Now we've 440 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: gone just a few steps further than what we had before, 441 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: where okay, we let some people slide and others don't know. 442 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: Now it's you know, Clay has to wear a mask, 443 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: but the guy Jason Sadakis does not have to wear 444 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: a mask. That's the way this goes, and it's entirely 445 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: based on the profession. And I remember you may remember 446 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: this buck. I think it was back in last maybe 447 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: a last like May or June. Do you remember when 448 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: they shut down the Woman's Bar in La County bar 449 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: restaurant from being able to be opened and then production 450 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: next door. Ye outdoor, Yeah, yeah, she has. She spent 451 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: all the money, by the way, this is that's a 452 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: perfect example, is she spent all this money to set 453 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: up her outdoor dining and Governor Gavin Newsom, who California 454 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: voted to you know, keep around, unfortunately had this ordinance 455 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: in place where if you were doing TV or movie production, 456 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: because they write big checks and they're important to politicians, 457 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: you eating in a big group of people outside, that 458 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: was okay. But if you were running like a local 459 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: sandwich shop or barbecue joiner, pizzeria, you're eating outside is 460 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: a public health hazard. And if you disagree with that, Clay, 461 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: you're a monster who wants old people to die. And 462 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: that video was so perfect because she had created this 463 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: outdoor seating area in the parking lot and they were 464 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: literally filming and doing the casting and the feeding of 465 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: the crew in the parking lot next door to her. 466 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: They were allowed to have hundreds of people eating at 467 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,239 Speaker 1: underneath their tent. She was not allowed to have her 468 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: business open next door. And this is where all of 469 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: these absurdities get exposed on a perfect level. This is 470 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: also though, why it's so pernicious, It's so honestly, it's 471 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: it's evil to keep hammering these narratives of the good 472 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: people and the bad people during COVID. I mean, I 473 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: would argue that the only bad people are the tyrants 474 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: that are making us do stupid stuff. But you know, 475 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: there's there's there's the notion that someone is always there 476 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: are the people that have been fighting COVID and doing 477 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: everything can and other people who are almost pro COVID. 478 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: I mean there actually will make joke, they'll say this, 479 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: you know that that people what's her name over at 480 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: MS said this last week. She said, Republicans love COVID. 481 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: I mean they've convinced themselves of this. But Clay, because 482 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: that narrative has been so consistent among the media that Democrats, 483 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: the left now for so many months, they actually have 484 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: reached a point you're seeing it where they believe that 485 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: different rules that elevate them, that exempt them are warranted 486 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: and fair. They believe, you know, this is animal farm. 487 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: Four legs good, two legs bad. No, they're saying, you know, 488 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: two legs bad, except for the pigs who can walk 489 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: around on two legs with monocles and sleep indoors on 490 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: beds and pretend that they're humans as they did an 491 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: animal farm. That is the situation. And when we come back, 492 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this too because I think 493 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: it also exposes how little fear there is when you 494 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: hear London read say I was having a great time 495 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: the mayor of San Francisco, and so you don't. You 496 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to be the fun police. What it's 497 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: also illuminating is many of these people, I think, see 498 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 1: the same data that we're seeing. They're just not willing 499 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: to stand up to the fear the fearful in their bases. 500 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: They'll live their own lives without fear and without following 501 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: the rules that they're trying to force the rest of 502 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: us to follow. It's really pretty fascinating. Yeah, somehow, first 503 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: what they want everyone else to be really scared. They're 504 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: not scared, but they weren't scared and scared because it's easier. 505 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: The best way to control people, as we all know, 506 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: especially at a nass media level, fear fear goes right 507 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: into that part of the brain that allows those who 508 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: want to to control you. But we'll get back into 509 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: that in just a moment with the Clay Travis and 510 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton show. Love our dogs.

I've got some 543 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: particular thoughts on that we will get into in just 544 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: a few moments. But let's get to first Emily in Georgetown, Kentucky. 545 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: What's up Emily. First of all, I want to say 546 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: what a great job you guys are doing. Thank you 547 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: so much. Winley lost brush. I was so scared. I 548 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: was lucky. I'm not talking to be interesting anymore. There's 549 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: not gonna be sick. So I'm just gonna say I 550 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: think Rush's looking down and joining the show just as 551 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: much as that. We are thank you so much. Nothing, 552 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: nothing would make us happier than that. And you know, 553 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: it was helpful to have Rush as a tutor. You know, 554 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you think of him as 555 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: your political tutor and best friend for many years, in 556 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: some cases decades, he was that. He was that for 557 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: us too, so we all had that thing. It was 558 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: losing a friend for me for sure. Um hey, come 559 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: we get back into this. My mandate in public schools. Yeah, 560 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: so my kids, I have a son's in kindergarten, my daughter, 561 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: she is in second grade. So they are required to 562 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: wear a mask. So I did get them a mask 563 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: that was really lightweight, and it kinda was. It wasn't mash, 564 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: but it was a really light material and there were 565 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: small holes in it. And let me go ahead and say, now, 566 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: they wore these since day one of schools and nothing 567 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: had been said whatsoever, and they were doing okay with them. 568 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: My kids have a hard time with the mask, I'm sure, 569 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: like a lot of children do, especially my kindergarteners. He 570 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: really struggled, so much, so he's not even enjoying kindergarten, 571 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: looked soever hardly. And then I got out a call 572 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: from the principals. So I dropped him off last week 573 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: one day. And she had said that there had been 574 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: some concerns the day before about my kids masks, but 575 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: not to worry that they were going to get give 576 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: them suing. So I got us on a voicemail. So 577 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: my kids were already at school. Well, I picked my 578 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: kids up from school that afternoon and they're upset. They're, 579 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, crying, and I'm like, well, what what's going on? 580 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: And they said that the guide up talnced she had 581 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: met them at the door that morning before they even 582 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: made it in the school with mask that she said 583 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: they had to remove theirs and they had to put 584 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: those on. So I hadn't even spoke to them and 585 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: they went ahead and did that. And the reasons that 586 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: setting it's because my kids are little, and that all 587 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: day they were upset because they thought they had done 588 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: something wrong. Oh yeah, I appreciate the calamily madness. It's 589 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: so matus, you know, play we could very easily go around. 590 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: I could go around to places in New York because 591 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: there are some here still, do you? I mean, is 592 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: there anywhere in Nashville right now that is requiring indoor 593 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: masking that you know of? Because there's plenty of places 594 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: in New York that's still make you do it even 595 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: though it's ad hoc. It's placed by place, but I 596 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: could is that a no, No, that's not that you know? Well, 597 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: it's interesting the Nashville Predators, who are the NHL franchise, 598 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: are requiring COVID vaccine passports in order to get in 599 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: to watch the team play starting in October coming out. 600 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: This is coming to first place anywhere that I've seen. 601 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: I keep saying, you keep saying. It starts in New York, 602 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,239 Speaker 1: then it's La then it's Chicago and San Franzato, and 603 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: then it spreads out across the country into places you 604 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't even expect. I just bring it up because we could, 605 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: very easily, based on actual science and data, go around 606 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: and be the N ninety five mask shame. We could 607 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: wear N ninety five masks and look at everybody to 608 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: cloth mask and say why don't you take the virus seriously? 609 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: Why is your cloth mask not sufficient? You know you 610 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't be wearing this obviously this would be crazy, but 611 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: I'm just saying people that do things. I was on 612 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: a plane, I had the same thing where they told 613 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: me take off that mask and put this one on, 614 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: because if you can breathe to freely clay, you're not suffering. 615 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: You're not actually paying penance to the mask religion. That's 616 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: the only one, because as a matter of science, these 617 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: paper masks and everyone's wearing are useless idiocy. But they 618 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: keep pretending that something else is going on. And look 619 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: in my home school district. They had a big meeting 620 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: last night to speak to Emily who had just called us. 621 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: And there's a mask mandate still in effect where I 622 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: live in Tennessee. But thankfully the governor has stepped in 623 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: and said and they give medical and religious exemptions. Basically, 624 00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: all you have to do is sign your name on 625 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: a piece of paper and they'll give it to you. 626 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 1: And as a result, virtually no kids in my kids 627 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: public school are wearing masks. But I don't know how 628 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: this ends. This goes to the question I was asking earlier, Buck, 629 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: which is a good buddy starting out a buddy. But 630 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: we do emails right where I respond to questions, and 631 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: I got a great one from somebody in Washington, DC 632 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: who said, and we could talk about this a little bit, 633 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: maybe in the next hour. The nine thirty Club is 634 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: one of the most famous music venues. I've been to 635 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: a bunch of concerts there. Yeah, I've been there as well. 636 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: You know, let's end like a thousand people or whatever. 637 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: They're now open after being shut down forever. They require vaccines, 638 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: but when you provide proof of vaccination you also have 639 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: to wear masks inside of the concert venue. So not 640 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: only are you providing the fact that you have been 641 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: vaccinated for COVID, you still have to wear masks. And 642 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: the guy wrote in saying, Hey, I want to go 643 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: see the food Fighters, great concert. How does the sever end? 644 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: It ends insofar as there will be in my mind 645 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: this is my antheist and unknown really knows, But I 646 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: believe that we have the same way that there's this 647 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: this acceptance of the lingering absurdity and stupidity of many 648 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: FAA security and TSA regulations coming from the era of 649 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. You know, there's still these things that 650 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 1: we all have to do, and they act like it's 651 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: really important that is now all throughout that kind of 652 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: safetyism is all throughout our society because of COVID, and 653 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: I think there will be these things where they can 654 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: kind of turn on the pressure, turn off the pressure, 655 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, limit limit people going into certain places to 656 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 1: a certain extent at certain points in the year. Some 657 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: places will have masks, some places won't. They'll be the 658 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: apparatus of COVID control continuing at different levels for years 659 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: to come. That's how I think. That's what's scary. Like 660 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: I got asked, Hey, when will you not have to 661 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: wear a mask on an airplane again?
