00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome to our two of The Clay

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. This as Buck and Clay

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: and I are trying to break down all of the

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: latest updates here from the Pentagon, the Biden White House

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: about the catastrophe in Cobble, the unbelievable mind blowing incompetence

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration on full display for all to see,

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: and a highly volatile, precarious situation not just in general

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: terms for US foreign policy, but also for the thousands

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: of Americans who are still on the ground in Afghanistan.

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: Not clear they'll be able to get out our admitting

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: our government. The White House asked the Taliban for permission

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: to extend the August thirty first deadline, then given up

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: on this notion of using meaning America has given up

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: on September eleventh as some kind of a symbol of

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: the end of the war and the beginning of something new. Now,

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: the Taliban is the one that is going to be

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: using that symbolism for their own purposes. In fact, there's

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: a Wall Street Journal op ed referring to the Taliban

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: nine eleven and going into that in some detail. We

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: could talk about that with Clay here in just a

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: few moments. But before we came back here to join

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: you and bring everyone up to speed on what's going on,

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: you had Representative Mike Waltz. He's a former Special Forces guy,

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: he was SF and a good guy. I know him

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: and know that he's a straight a straight shooter, so

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: to speak. And he's warning about the possibility already of

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: this going so badly that we could have to send

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: soldiers back into Afghanistan, not for evacuation perhaps, but even

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: for direct combat roles. This isn't about politics. This is

31
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: about the fact that America now is less safe. Here's

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: why we're in even a worse position than we were

33
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: in two one, because now we have no bases in

34
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the region. The intelligence community has been very clear they

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: have the will and the intent to hit us again.

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: So as we head into the twentieth anniversary, the twentieth

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: anniversary of nine to eleven, we now face the prospect

38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: of our soldiers having to go back in Clay, that's

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: what I think is in the back of a lot

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: of people's minds here. On the one hand, there's just

41
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: the look. Look, this is one of those moments where

42
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: this isn't about politics. This is about what's really important,

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: which is getting every American out of Afghanistan safely. That's

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: what you and I care about. That's what we're sitting

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: here hoping for, first and foremost. If that doesn't happen

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: and something goes bad, and we all know what that

47
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: would mean. Here in the context of a place like

48
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: Afghanistan run by the Taliban, there's the additional possibility of

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: we go in and we start trading blows with the

50
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Taliban and in direct combat operations. That's not going to

51
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: be a short, quick thing. Clay, and I think to

52
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: your point, Buck, the biggest failure of the Biden administration

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the evacuation itself, although we know how

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: much of a failure that evacuation has already been. It's

55
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: creating a situation where the Taliban has all of the

56
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: control and we have none of it. And we've hit

57
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: on this for the past couple of weeks. As this

58
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: maelstrom of disaster has continued to unspool itself, You've got

59
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: situations where nineteen year old kids with guns who are

60
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Taliban really have the fate of the Biden administration on

61
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: their trigger finger, because if those kids, and I say kids,

62
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: because you're eighteen nineteen years old, suddenly lose their cool

63
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: or even accidentally start firing on crowds, then you've got

64
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: Benghazi on steroid voids for Joe Biden. And what is

65
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: so humiliating about this is we have no plan for departure,

66
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and we have said, and this is the biggest failure

67
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: of all, Hey, we have to be out of there

68
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: by August thirty first, So buck what happens if, as

69
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: seems likely, there are still many people left in Afghanistan,

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: Well that's essential play because we're all wondering are we

71
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: going to be able to get everybody out? And when

72
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: you start to look at what the answer to that

73
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: question is based on the numbers, the logistics, the realities

74
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: on the ground, some are already saying no. In fact,

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: we need to be prepared for the eventuality here, the

76
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: imminent reality of Americans being yes, the word stranded would

77
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: certainly apply. And then I mean, if the Taliban shuts

78
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: off all access the airport says sorry, you missed the deadline.

79
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Now that now we are talking about a mass hostage

80
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: situation for it could be fifty, it could be five hundred,

81
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: who knows, could be five thousand Americans stuck there and

82
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: we won't be able to have the kind of visibility

83
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: to know what's even happening to them necessarily. And Representative

84
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: Mike McCall, he's just straight up saying it. We're not

85
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get out and Biden. Biden may

86
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: have blood on his hands. The President just announced a

87
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: firm which raw date of August thirty. First, I can

88
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: tell you there's no way we can humanly get our

89
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: all of our American citizens and Afghan partners out of

90
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: country by that time. I've called us consistently an unmitigated

91
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: disaster of epic proportions. It will be a staying on

92
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: this presidency, and particularly after decision made today and what

93
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: we heard today, he will have blood on his hands.

94
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: People are gonna die and they're gonna be left behind play.

95
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: I hope Representative McCall is wrong. I hope he's wrong.

96
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: I do not think he will be. And that again

97
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: goes to the essence of this failure of Joe Biden

98
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: and the act that as we started the show talking

99
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: about this, this is resonating in a big way with

100
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: the American people without necessarily a tangible disaster occurring in

101
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: terms of loss of life of Americans. Twenty six percent

102
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: Buck approval according to the most recent USA Today poll

103
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: of our withdrawal from Afghanistan. Now, you can quibble and say,

104
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, how many times did they pull Nancy Pelosi

105
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: to find out that twenty six percent is valid? But

106
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: seventy four percent of people in a highly polarized American

107
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: environment disagreeing with the President of the United States is

108
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: really unheard of. And I think one of the questions

109
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: we have to start to ask is and we've been

110
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: asking this, but I think it's starting to become more

111
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: and more apparent. With that forty one percent approval rating

112
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden according to USA Today that just came

113
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: out earlier today. How is this going to implicate everything

114
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: in the Biden administration? Buck, You've talked about the failures

115
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: at the border, we know about the murder rate skyrocketing,

116
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: we know about inflation. How is this all going to

117
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: factor in the COVID failures? How is this going to

118
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: impact the three and a half trillion dollars Bernie budget?

119
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Literally the argument for most people is foreign affairs doesn't

120
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: drive the ship when it comes to American state. But

121
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like the failure in Afghanistan, when

122
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: it is a representative sample of the failures that are

123
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: occurring everywhere, just kind of becomes the cherry on the

124
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: top of the crap cake that Joe Biden is baking

125
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: for America right now. There's also the issue of a

126
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: focus clay, and what are the people that have been

127
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: entrusted with power and with the still awesome resources of

128
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: the United States government and the United States Military intelligence apparatus,

129
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: what are they really doing right now? What is Congress doing?

130
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you're bringing up some of the machinations behind

131
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the scenes around the budget issue. Shouldn't this be a

132
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: moment where instead of Congress I think there's even some

133
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: briefing this week or from the Select Committee on the

134
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: January sixth commission. No, that's the fake insurrection. Maybe we

135
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: could actually look at the real insurrection in Afghanistan that's

136
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: put thousands and thousands of American lives in imminent peril,

137
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: not getting some pepper spray in the face, not being assaulted,

138
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: but maybe not making it back home at all. I

139
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: think that the Congress could shift their focus to that,

140
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: and Kevin McCarthy, as a member of Congress, is saying,

141
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: what are we even doing here? How is this not

142
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: the one and only between now in August thirty first

143
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: goal of Congress and the United States federal government, Our

144
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: entire focus, Republican, Democrat, Independent alike, should be nothing else

145
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: than bringing our Americans home. We shouldn't work on other

146
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: items and specially spending of tillions of dollars. That should

147
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: be our only focus. We shouldn't cut off our briefing

148
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: with the administration because they have to get back to

149
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: vote on their rule. I think that is what we

150
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: should be voting on. If I look to the UK,

151
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: they brought their parliament back to work on bringing their

152
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: citizens home. We should be doing exact same, all hands

153
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: on deck. In the UK, Clay Pelosi wants to have

154
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: fancy fundraisers and you know, talk about trillions of dollars

155
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: a spending. I think McCarthy is making the right decision

156
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: here in saying, hey, shouldn't we be focusing on the

157
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: biggest foreign policy disaster in most of our lives as

158
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: opposed to trying to cram a budget through where Frankly,

159
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans aren't necessarily paying attention now if

160
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: you and for those of you out there who have

161
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: not been paying attention, there are around ten moderate Democrats

162
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: that are standing up to the idea of this three

163
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: and half trillion dollar bill in the House. The question

164
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: is whether or not the votes are there for Nancy

165
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: Pelosi in the House and Chuck Schumer in the Senate.

166
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: But really, this shouldn't be a debate that's taking place

167
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: while there are this many Americans in harm's away in Afghanistan.

168
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: I think Speaker McCarthy soon to be Speaker McCarthy, former

169
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Speaker McCarthy is right. They should stand down and wait

170
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: to see what actually happens in Afghanistan before they're debating

171
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: whether or not to pass this three and a half

172
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: trillion dollar Bernie budget bill. I mean, how could anybody

173
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: clay who draws a paycheck from the federal government and

174
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: has any national security role, which Congress certainly is supposed

175
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: to wet You know, we got the Defense Committee, We've

176
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: got the Intelligence Committee. Congress is supposed to matter with

177
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: these things. How could they have split focus right now

178
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: and be I know that's all we walk and chew

179
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: gum at the same time. No, we're actually looking at

180
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: at a clock here that is running out, and we

181
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: can all see it. Where if we're not out within

182
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: a week, a week from today, August thirty first, that's right,

183
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: we're in a whole other situation. What do we do

184
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: then when the Taliban says to this administration, sorry, guys, now,

185
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna process all those Americans because we don't know

186
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: who might be a you know, a spy for the

187
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: other side, or who might be a don't you know whatever.

188
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: They can make up. They can say whatever they want.

189
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna hold people, and what are we gonna do

190
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: about it? Deny them greater legitimacy to the international community.

191
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna say letters, They're gonna say we gave a deadline,

192
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: the US didn't meet it. We're still working with them.

193
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: We will all know that it's bull but Russia and

194
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: China won't care. Other countries are gonna say, well, it's

195
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, not our problem. And this is what the

196
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: Biden administration is facing. So I'm curious what the folks

197
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,119
Speaker 1: out there who have any experience in Afghanistan with Afghanistan

198
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: think about this. One week deadline and what it feels

199
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: like to hear after we have so many people listen

200
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: to the show Clay who fought and went toe to

201
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: toe with the Taliban, and now we've got the bid

202
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: administration begging basically for the ability to get American civilians

203
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: out of this country. Taliban says no. Oh. By the way,

204
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk at the bottom of this hour. Remember,

205
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: for people who recall last week we got a call

206
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: specifically focused on one individual that was trying to get out.

207
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: One of our listeners called in. We've got an update

208
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: from him. We're going to play that at the bottom

209
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: of the hour. What it's actually like on the ground

210
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,880

225
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,760

Speaker 1: going to eat food that still tastes really good. And

228

257
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a lighthearted, a little bit of a funny, story. Now,

258
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: do you remember Buck, when Andrew Cuomo was all the

259
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: quomosexual shirts works selling, and he was doing his daily briefings.

260
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: It was the handsomest governor in America, the safyor of

261
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: New York State. He was grabbing people by the thousands

262
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: by their hot strings and occasionally by other places as well.

263
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: He that is Governor Andrew Cuomo stepping into the studio

264
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: there for a moment to address the nation. I have

265
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: to say that Cuomo, we didn't really talk much about this,

266
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: but at midnight last night or this I get all

267
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: crossed up. I think it was just this morning, right.

268
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: The new Kathy Hokuel is now the governor. Cuomo's officially

269
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: officially left the mansion. They have now stripped Buck. It

270
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: was always one of the most ridiculous things that was

271
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: out there that they had done this in the first place.

272
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: But they have now stripped the honorary Emmy that they

273
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: gave to Andrew Cuomo for his updates during the height

274
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: of the COVID crisis in March and April of last year.

275
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: And they have now that, I guess they're rescinding the emmy,

276
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: which is pretty funny in and of itself. I mean

277
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: the fact that he ever got an Emmy was an

278
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: incredible indictment to the extent that there's any legitimate they

279
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: taken it away. Did you watch in real time? Maybe

280
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: he would sit there and it was this is during COVID,

281
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: and first everyone's like, oh my gosh, COVID got it.

282
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: But after a while it was okay, so what are

283
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: we gonna talk about today? Today we will discuss the

284
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: origins of what it means to be the governor of

285
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: New York. I have slides and he would just go

286
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: on and on and on. I mean, there wasn't that much.

287
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: You know, Okay, we'll gonna do well talking what does

288
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: it mean for having a normal life? Again? At some point,

289
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: what do I mean by normal life? You know, this

290
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: was the daily rhythm. But people got so dependent on

291
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: this because we're all locked at home. Yet I think

292
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: they started to feel like this was somehow comforting. I

293
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: was looking at this saying, shouldn't this guy be doing

294
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: stuff other than reading weird slides off? I mean, they

295
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: could just send out or just post the data on COVID.

296
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: We didn't, but he was this like comforter for so

297
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: many people. He was the security blanket. He likes to

298
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: hold people close, as we know. Yeah, and this still

299
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: is blowing up on Chris Cuomo, his brother, who is

300
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: the one that's still in the public arena now because

301
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: the memes that are out there now of the two

302
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Cuomo brothers on CNN for so long like they were,

303
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: it's impossible basically to escape. And so I just thought

304
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: that was a funny little anecdote. When we come back.

305
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to tee off on Jen

306
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: Saki if I may, because I said she did two

307
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: really blatant lies. One of them, Buck was saying, oh,

308
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's nobody stranded in Afghanistan. We know that,

309
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,560

335
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,760

Speaker 1: August deadline. What is happening on the ground there. What's

00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: going on for the Americans and for the Afghans who

339
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: were promised safe harbor outside of that country. We'll bring

340
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: you the latest on that, and then more on lockdowns,

341
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: COVID madness, vax mandates, stadiums, something Clay, I'm fired about this,

342
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: stadiums in places that'll surprise you, or saying your vax

343
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: or you don't get to come to the game. We'll

344
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: talk about that with you in a moment. But you

345
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: know last week, Oh and Clay's gonna have his jen

346
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Psaki part Jensaki, part two, part den is coming your way.

347
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: But we will get to that in just a moment. First,

348
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: we had a hall or if you recall last week

349
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: named Josh, who was a veteran who served in Afghanistanders

350
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: said he was in contact with his interpreter that he's

351
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: been trying to help get out. Josh joins us now

352
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: on the phone, Josh, we appreciate your time. Give us

353
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: an update as to where things are right now. Hi, guys,

354
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: So I ended up making contacts with the interpreter again.

355
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: He waited at the airport for four days with his

356
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: family a little bit and almost no food, no water,

357
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: and the military ended up kicking him out of the base.

358
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: And when he went through the base outside, the Taliban

359
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: started searching people and started kidnapping people. And he made

360
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: it through because he hides all of his documents in

361
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: his wife's burka, so luckily they didn't search his wife.

362
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: They searched him and his other family members. But he

363
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: got through, got home, and now he's had no idea

364
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: what to do. He's stuck there. I filed for SIV

365
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: for him to get him here two to three months ago.

366
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: And so Biden saying, oh, a lot of Afghans don't

367
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: want to come here. That absolutely isn't true. There's been

368
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: a wait list for Afghans to come here for months.

369
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: It isn't like a new thing. Oh now the Caliband

370
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: are taking over. Now they want to come here. Josh,

371
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: I want to we actually have I know that we

372
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: are in You're able to be in some contact with

373
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna call him Mike, not his not his name, folks.

374
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're trying to create some operational security baseline here.

375
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: But Mike is the is the Afghan translator who is

376
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: on the ground there just dealing with what Josh told

377
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: us about this audio. We have a recording and this

378
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: is what he had to say. I help American pupils

379
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: right now. I need to hug someone from American Hug me,

380
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: hulp me, someone please hold my life from here. But

381
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: I go there and collbl airports. But I don't have

382
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: any good duckmans. You know. I have a just copy

383
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: of the paper and my budge. I have John letter

384
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: from floor company, and I have some dougment from SIV company.

385
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: He needs a passport for me, American passport. He needs

386
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: a visa, he needs a green court, but I don't

387
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: have any. Please I need the help from American People's

388
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: help me, someone help for me. Please, I'm going to

389
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: die here. You know, I'm treaded by the toilet ones here.

390
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm treaded. Maybe maybe they don't call me Josh s

391
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: heartbreaking man. I know this was your translator. This is

392
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: somebody that was alongside you over there and trying to

393
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: help our country and keep our people alive in Afghanistan.

394
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: What what has to happen here for him to be

395
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: able to get through. I mean other interpreters have been

396
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: allowed to fly out. I don't get why they kicked out.

397
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: They're only allowing He told me they're only allowing Americans

398
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: or people would visas to leave. But I don't get that.

399
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: He has paperwork for me. I've sponsored him, he has

400
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: all the paperwork from the embassy for months ago. It

401
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: makes no sense why they would kick him out of

402
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: the base. I mean, they're sending him to his death almost.

403
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: Have you, Josh, had any Have you had any contact

404
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: with American politicians? I know a lot of different and

405
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: maybe we can help you get in touch with American

406
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: political helpers here because a lot of them who have

407
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: come on our show, and certainly there's been a lot

408
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: of people active on social media, Senators, congressmen who are

409
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: able to help get people out. Who what where are

410
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: you based, Josh? Where are you located? I'm located in California.

411
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: I've emailed a bunch of senators. I've gotten no replies.

412
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: I emailed the major that helped someone on another radio station,

413
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: and I've gotten no reply from him either. I'm guessing

414
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: they're extremely busy right now. But all right, now, here's

415
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Ali, who is on our staff.

416
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: Ali has been working hard on this. Ali, We're gonna

417
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: put more onto your plate. Here. I'm betting if we

418
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: reach out to some of our guests of late Senator

419
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Marsha Blackburn, Senator Haggarty, one of those individuals I know,

420
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: Senator Tom Cotton has been very active in trying to

421
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: help people get out there who are stranded, despite what

422
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: Jensaki has said, and so we may need to reach

423
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: out to one of those politicians that has been involved

424
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: with our show to maybe help help that this man

425
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: get out of Afghanistan. Josh. So we're going to try

426
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: to work and we'll keep people updated on the show.

427
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: You called in for people who are not familiar with

428
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: this story. You called in to tell us about this

429
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: man's story last week I think it was or the

430
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: week before. So thank you, Josh. We're gonna continue to

431
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: track this and we'll try to reach out direct the

432
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: politicians to see if we can help him get onto

433
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: a plane and not get killed. Frankly by the Taliban,

434
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: which you heard is voice yourself. He sounds like he

435
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: is terrified he's going to happen. Yeah, he's scared, and

436
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm stressed to death for him because I feel like

437
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: his life is almost in my ends. No one else

438
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: is helping him and I'm like to nobody, I've got

439
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: medically retired as an e fight So who am I. Well,

440
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: you're on the biggest radio show in the country now

441
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: telling a lot of people listening about what's going on

442
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: here who care about it, Josh, and we're going to

443
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: do what we can to try to get this There's

444
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: a lot of folks who are at a similar situation

445
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: to your mic over there. But we're going to try

446
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: to drill down into this case and see if we

447
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: can move any levers and to help your guy and

448
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: to help others there will do. So. We appreciate you, Josh,

449
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: first of all, for your service and for bringing this

450
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: to our attention, for joining us here in the air.

451
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Thank you guys. You guys have

452
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: a great day, Clay. I mean, it's it's heartbreaking, man.

453
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: You can hear in that guy's voice. You know, that's

454
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: just a human being who's got a wife and kids.

455
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: You know who's terrified. Yea, And here we are now

456
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: also having too because in the fact we've got thousands

457
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: of Americans still in harm's way and we've gotta we

458
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: gotta get our Americans out first. We want to get

459
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: as many Afghans out as we can. It just it

460
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: defies belief that this could be as badly handed. I

461
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: know that that's not a helpful line of analysis now,

462
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: but I do think it's necessary to just put that

463
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: out there. How the heck is the Biden administration messing

464
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: this up so badly? Yeah, And I you know, I

465
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: talked about this on Sunday when I was speaking to

466
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: a large group, and I just we've talked a lot

467
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: about CRT and the failures of America and the people

468
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: who want to denigrate our country. You hear that voice

469
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: from that Afghan man, and you see the imagery of

470
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: people literally falling to their deaths as they were attempting

471
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: to hang onto airplanes to leave Afghanistan, and you see

472
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 1: how much these people are willing to give up their

473
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: entire lives to be able to have a scintilla of

474
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: the freedom that we take for granted every day. And

475
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: that's why I know, for many of you out there,

476
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: and certainly for Buck and Eye, we get so fired

477
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: up at the constant derigation denigration attacks that are leveled

478
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: up on the United States. I mean, when you hear

479
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: that man's voice, you have to recognize that we are

480
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: and have always been the greatest hope for freedom in

481
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: all of human history. And the fact that the Biden

482
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: administration could bungle this for tens of thousands of people,

483
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: just like that translator you heard talking to us, is

484
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: just disgraceful and disgusting at an elemental level. They fundamentally,

485
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: fundamentally broken in many ways the compact of American excellence

486
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: by their futility. It's just it's infuriating. I'm hopeful that

487
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 1: we'll at least get the good news in the days ahead. Hopeful,

488
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean I it's just like I said with what

489
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: was the congressman of a call where he's saying that

490
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: he's he feels like there's no way we're going to

491
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: get all the Americans out. And if we're not getting

492
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: all the Americans out, Clay, I think it's very clear

493
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: we're also not going to get out all the Afghans

494
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: who would out. They're Afghans who just want to get

495
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: out of the country because they hate the Taliban. I'm

496
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: sympathetic to them, but that's not the same thing as

497
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: an Afghan who worked with our military and was risk

498
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: their lives, risk their lives, risk their families lives, and

499
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: was promised that when the time came, they would get out.

500
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: And we're not getting all the Americans out. We're not

501
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: getting all of them out, Yes, that's for sure. So

502
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: now it's just a question of how bad it's going

503
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: to be, Folks. This is I this is not going

504
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: to be a story with an ending that America is

505
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: proud of it all. That's that's what I see coming here.

506
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: Will continue to follow it. And I would be overjoyed

507
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: if on the you know, the first week of September,

508
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: the first day we do the show, you know, in

509
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: the middle of next week, I can say, Wow, Clay

510
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: Biden really got it together and surprised me they actually

511
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: were able to amount up and get this done. I would,

512
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: I will eating my words on this would be fantastic.

513
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: I think the chance of that are very slip. I

514
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: think you and I both know that. Yeah, I don't

515
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: think there's any doubt. I want to tell you, shifting

534
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: back in Klay, Travis buck Sexton, appreciate all of you

535
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: hanging out with us. We are rolling through the Tuesday

536
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: edition of the program, and there are a bunch of

537
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: different things we can still get into. But I'm actually curious.

538
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: I want to go ahead and X out the phones

539
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: because I want to request a specific caller. I don't

540
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: know how many of you have been paying attention to this,

541
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: but I only want people in New Orleans or in

542
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: the state of Louisiana to call in right now. And

543
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna understand what I mean once you hear this

544
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: next story. So last night, Buck, and I know you're

545
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: not a wild football fan, but they had a Monday

546
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: night football game in New Orleans. The New Orleans Saints

547
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: were playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And in order to

548
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: get into the Superdome now where the Saints play, you

549
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: either have to have a COVID vaccine aka a COVID

550
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: vaccine passport, or you have to have a negative test

551
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: that's been taken in the last three days. Or and

552
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: this was even wilder, they had a vaccine clinic Buck

553
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: set up where if you got vaccinated, you could then

554
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: go into the stadium. Now, this defies all logic as

555
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: it pertains to the vaccine, because you might already have

556
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: COVID and your vaccine doesn't start working the minute that

557
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: you get it popped into your arm. So this doesn't

558
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: really make any sense. But that's what they were doing

559
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: to try to encourage people to get vaccinated. But it's

560
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: just about getting you to do it right. They're trying

561
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: to coerce you. They are coercion compliance and so it's

562
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: not about the science, yea. And so now, right before

563
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: we came on the air, LSU, the major university in

564
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: the state of Louisiana, has announced that everybody going to

565
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: Tiger Stadium. This is one hundred thousand seat stadium in

566
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It's a fabulous place to go watch

567
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: a college football game. In order to enter, you will

568
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: either have to be vaccinated or you will have to

569
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: have a negative COVID test Buck for all people ages

570
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: twelve and up. So this is the vast majority of

571
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: people that would be going into the stadium, either visiting

572
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: fans or local fans in Louisiana. And so my question

573
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: is how many people out there who are LSU or

574
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints fans are willing to change your opinion

575
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: on COVID in order to go to a game and

576
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: door how many of you have tickets and are now

577
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: not going to go because Buck. Remember they sold all

578
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: the season tickets this year predicated on the idea we're

579
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a full stadium, there's not going to be

580
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: any vaccine requirement, and then the week before the season starts,

581
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: they dropped this on everybody. They gave a few days

582
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: notice before my brother's wedding that some of the venues

583
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: and some of the places involved were gone, and they

584
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: did check vaccine passports and IDs. I mean there's there's

585
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: as everyone knows he's had a wedding. This is thousands

586
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: and thousands of dollars involved. I mean, this is expensive,

587
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: and you know you got to get the venue and

588
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: the permits and everything else, and there was there was

589
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: no consideration given onceohever it was sorry, this is our

590
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: new rule. The city wasn't demanding enforcement until I think

591
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: it's September thirteenth, but they decided to go with it

592
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: anyway and get get ahead of it, because there are

593
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: people for whom they just think anything that they can do,

594
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 1: no matter how annoying, arbitrary or useless it is, as

595
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: long as it falls under this general rubric of fauciite mitigation,

596
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: as long as it falls into this bucket of we're

597
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: fighting the virus, they'll go with it. And the fact

598
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: that I mean, and if I got to assume Clay,

599
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people that would want to go to

600
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: NFL games or in college football games who aren't vaccinated

601
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: don't want to get vaccinated, and now something that matters

602
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot to them may be

603
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: taken away from them because, as Deblasio says, carrots and sticks,

604
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: and this is one of the sticks that the Democrat

605
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: politicians are going to whack you in the face with everybody.

606
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: And it's also expensive to go get those negative COVID tests.

607
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: Mind you, there are hundreds of thousands of people who

608
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: are going to show up and tailgate outside the stadium, right,

609
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean massive crowds of people. It's not as if

610
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: they're stopping the spread of iris. In fact, they're only

611
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: impacting it for three hours inside of the stadium, But outside,

612
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: pack tailgates, packed bars, everything else, that's still a go.

613
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: So I only want to hear from people from Louisiana

614
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: LSU fans as well as fans of the New Orleans Saints.

615
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: If you have tickets, what are your thoughts on this?

616
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: Because I think this is a big battleground that is coming.

617
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: I know SEC and NFL fans pretty well, Buck, and

618
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: they're not going to take very kindly to this. Require

619
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: is there anything that you think could be coming where

620
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: you say, all right, I might have to get the shot, Clay,

621
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: even though you've had COVID, is there is there anything

622
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: where you you know, is there something where you think

623
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: it would be. Finally, if you come to fly on planes,

624
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: would you get it? I think that is the requirement

625
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: where I would say, Okay, maybe I have to get

626
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: the vaccine even though I've already had COVID and there's

627
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: no benefit. In fact, it could be detrimental according to

628
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: some studies, to combine line the vaccine with natural immunity. Yeah,

629
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, we've got that. And Biden in minutes supposed

630
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: to be making remarks on Afghanistan, so we may be

631
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: bringing you live in real time here what President Biden

632
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: has to say about the slow moving train wreck that

633
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: is the Afghanistan withdrawal. It's already off the tracks, it's

634
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 1: running off into the woods, the engines coming apart. We'll

635
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: update you on that, plus more on COVID and other

636
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: things coming up. You're listening to Clay Travis and Buck
