1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Walk Back in Play Travis Buck Sexton 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Show from KTRH down in Houston, where you're having a 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: fantastic time. Looking forward to seeing a lot of you 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: at our event Texas Barbecue, Beer and Bourbon tonight in 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: the Houston area. Buck. One of the big discussion points 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: around Ukraine has been that we are effectively fueling both 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: sides of the conflict. We're giving hundreds of millions of 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: dollars in support and material to Ukraine while we are 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: simultaneously buying six hundred thousand barrels of oil from Russia 11 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: every day, giving them tens of millions of dollars every 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: single day as the price of oil continues to go up. 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: And so there has been a discussion surrounding why in 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: the world would we continue to give any money at 15 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: all to Russia while we're engaged in the sanctions that 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: we're trying to economically provide a great deal of hardship, 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: a lot of money, by the way, tens of millions 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: of dollars every day, And so Joe Mansion addressed this, 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: and by the way, Joe Mansion has been one of 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: the most reasonable people in the Democratic Party, maybe by 21 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: far the most reasonable person. Do you notice at the 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: State of the Union he actually set with the Republicans, 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: which I thought was somewhat intriguing. We'll see what he 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: decides to do in twenty twenty four, in a couple 25 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: of years, whether he runs for the Senate again, whether 26 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: he potentially becomes an independent, whether he starts to caucus 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: with the Republicans. Who knows, But he says, we talked 28 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: about this the other day. Sometimes you have to have 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: difficult discussions, and the question is, okay, if you're not 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: going to take Russian oil, how much more are you 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: willing to pay for gas in order to support Ukraine? 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: He says he'd gladly pay more. But as he talking 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: about paying enough more, let's listen to cut fifteen here. 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: You need a horse power to run a country. You 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: need a horse power to be the superpower of the 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: world and be able to have your allies depend on you. 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: And we have been there for that. We've thraggled back 38 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: and never traveled back up. That's all I'm saying. And 39 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: I'll just say this from I would gladly if if 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: ever is a pole being taken. They said, Joe, would 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: you pay ten cents more gallon to support the people 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: if Ukraine and stop basically the support of Russia. I 43 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: would glad to pay ten cents more a gallon. Would 44 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: you pay a dollar more a gallon? I mean that's 45 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: the real question, right, fifty cents more. How many people 46 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: out there would be willing to do that, I think 47 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: is a fascinating question. And there would also be other 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: economic implications of it. People would see the energy energy 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: costs would go up, which means all costs go up 50 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: every we have to Our economy is a fossil fuel 51 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: economy still, despite the Green New Deal and AOC and 52 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: Biden picking up all that nonsense and running with it, 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: it's still a fossil fuel economy. So when it becomes 54 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: more expensive, everything becomes pricier, and yeah, to your point, okay, 55 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: ten cents a gallon more, people might say, yeah, fine, 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: a dollar a gallon Moore. Let's say let's say that 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: we were told that you would have a double of 58 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: you know, the unemployment rate and twenty or thirty, twenty 59 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: or thirty percent increase in cost of living over the 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: next year or two. If this were to happen, I 61 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: doubling unemployee. Maybe that's too extreme, but I'm just saying 62 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: real cost and consequence economically, do the American people want that? 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: Is that something that we would advocate in favor of. 64 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: Clearly the Biden administration things no, because they're not willing 65 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: to do this yet. I mean, if this is you've 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: got cluster bombs being dropped in Ukraine, You've got reporting 67 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: about multiple assassination attempts against Zelenski, the president of Ukraine. 68 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: They're tightening the noose around city after city in Ukraine. 69 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: They're going after the capital of Kiev. So we're not 70 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: doing these things? When are we? When would we do them? 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: And so to speak from the Biden administration point of view, 72 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: I think everyone realizes there are costs we're willing to 73 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: bear the cost that we're not. And I think it's 74 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: such an intriguing question to contemplate. If we're talking about 75 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: there there are forecasts now buck of the price of oil, 76 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: a barrel of oil go into one hundred and seventy 77 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: five or one hundred and eighty dollars, And to put 78 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: that into context right now, and I don't have the 79 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: price of oil directly open in front of me, but 80 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: it was around one hundred and ten hundred and fifteen dollars. 81 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: This week, it's continued to go up. One hundred and 82 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: eighty would be an all time high. Effectively, I believe 83 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight is the highest the price of 84 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: oil has ever been. And obviously you got to adjust 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: for inflation and all those things, but I believe we 86 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: are rapidly trending towards an all time high in the 87 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: price of oil. What is interesting about this is right 88 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: now we're already at seven and a half percent interest inflation, 89 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: so we're probably headed for double digit inflation as you 90 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: really analyze just based on the price of energy, and 91 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: the Biden administration is terrified of inflation being the overriding 92 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: number one impact buck you can study data on voting patterns. 93 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: The number one thing that motivates people is a price 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: of gas because they see it, they feel it in 95 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: a way. I just talked about it earlier this week. 96 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: I cust me one hundred dollars to fill up my car, 97 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: and I didn't even get it all the way filled up. 98 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people like me out there 99 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: in disbelief. When you get to that hundred dollars level 100 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: to fill up your tank or gas, and you feel 101 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: that in a way that you might not candidly feel 102 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: a big mat costing a little more, or a gallon 103 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: of milk costing a little bit more. And I think 104 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: we have to be prepared for the narratives to get 105 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: about why this is a good thing, in the sense 106 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: of it's the price we pay to stick up for Ukraine. 107 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: I think if you'd be prepared for people to start saying, 108 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'm talking about those making the decisions, 109 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: like the Biden administration and the top Penticon officials who 110 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: work for him in the Secretary of Defense. And here, 111 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: for example, is the kind of argument you're going to 112 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: be hearing going forward. More. It's Secretary of State Tony 113 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: Blincoln this morning, and here he is saying, well, play 114 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: clipped twelfth. This is an aggression, a challenge, a threat 115 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: that is relevant to the entire world because what's at risk, 116 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: first and foremost are literally the lives of Ukrainian men, 117 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: women and children. But beyond that, the very fundamental principles 118 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: that we've established together after two World wars that are 119 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: so important to keeping peace and security for everyone principles 120 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: that President Putin is egregiously violating every single day. And 121 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: if we allow those principles to be challenged as Putin 122 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: is doing now with impunity, that will open a Pandora's 123 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: box of trouble for not just us, but quite frankly, 124 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: for the entire world, the whole world. Play a Pandora's 125 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: box for the whole world. He's saying, here, hold on 126 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: a second, what are these principles exactly? I mean, everyone 127 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: opposes innocence being killed, and everyone opposes aggressive war on 128 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: moral grounds. Okay, that has been something that occurs, and 129 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: we have actually been involved in wars as we know, 130 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: over the last twenty years multiple times. So what does 131 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: this mean? Why? You know, he says, we have to 132 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: stand up for a principle to what extent. He also 133 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: says that we're not that this is effectively going without 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: punishment on Putin's part. Now, we're doing economic things, We're 135 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: doing the things that the diplomatic set always claims will 136 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: be effective as a means of preventing conflict. It just 137 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: feels like there's a there's a whole there's a whole 138 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: set of the national security apparatus in this country. And 139 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: in the westmore generally that says diplomacy. Diplomacy. Oh, actually 140 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: things are getting rough. Let's send in the troops, and 141 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to avoid here. That feels like 142 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: where we're headed is even when you hear the arguments 143 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: about no fly zones. When frankly we started off the 144 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: show talking about Lindsay Graham asking for someone to assassinate 145 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, it feels the longer this goes on that 146 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: the accelerant continues to grow, and we should mention, by 147 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: the way, Russia is not without flaw when it comes 148 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: to assassination plans. The Times of London in England is 149 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: reporting that Vladimir Zelinsky has already survived three different discreet 150 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: assassination attempts by Russia. And you pointed out earlier, Buck 151 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: that if Russia had actionable intelligence that Zelinsky was in 152 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: a certain building at a certain point time, I don't 153 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: think there's any doubt that they would love to be 154 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: able to wipe him out. He has become the personification, 155 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: the symbol of the resistance in Ukraine and we don't 156 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: know if he's not there, does the martyrdom live on, 157 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: or if he's gone. Does that just destroy in many 158 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: respects the resistance itself, classpend time in two war zones 159 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: as a as a as a civilian analyst for the agency. 160 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: You got kids, if your kids were of age, if 161 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: one of you, if one of your sons said I'm nineteen, 162 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: I want to go, I want to go fight in 163 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: Ukraine for these principles, what would you say to one 164 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: hundred to know? Ye, Now he gets to make his 165 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: own choice, right, that's the challenge of being a parent. 166 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: But if you're one billion percent, no, you're not going. 167 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: And the challenge I think for so many parents out 168 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: there is eighteen year olds are technically majority age. When 169 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: you know that one of your kids is making an 170 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: awful choice, you can argue against it. And by the way, 171 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be war. It can be they're 172 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: dating the wrong person, or they're deciding to major in 173 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: the wrong thing, or they're not going to college, or 174 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: you think they're taking the wrong job. But I would 175 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: one billion percent fight as hard as I could the 176 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: idea that he's going to somehow go to Ukraine and fight. 177 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: And I think the vast majority of people listening to 178 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: us right now would say the same thing that they 179 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: think that's lunacy. Now there's tens of thousands of people 180 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: that are evidently pouring into Ukraine right now to take 181 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: up arms and help fight for Ukraine, which seems wild 182 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: to me, but it just points to to me what 183 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: an incredible powder ki we are dealing with over there. 184 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: You saw what happened with the potential dangers of the 185 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: nuclear plant that got that looked like it might blow 186 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: up for a while. I mean, there's people who are 187 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: doing forecast right now saying a billion people could die 188 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: if we end up in a nuclear war scenario. Here, 189 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: just to Tony Blinken Biden, Secretary of State, about about 190 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: all the principles here, here's a principle. If I had 191 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: a son who said I wanted to go fight either 192 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: as a volunteer as part of this Ukrainian militia or 193 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'm gonna go join up because I 194 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: want to get deployed with eighty second their born, or 195 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: I want to go with the Marines and fight in Ukraine, 196 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: I would say, I don't think you should do that. 197 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't want you to do that. This is not 198 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: our fight. So if that's how I feel, or would 199 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: feel about a son, and you, who do have three sons, 200 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: feel I don't want someone else's son who fights for 201 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: this country, who serves in uniform for this country, to 202 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: get deployed to a war that I wouldn't send my 203 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: own family member to anither, would you exactly? I think 204 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: that's exactly right. Twenty years ago, on eleven, this nation 205 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: experienced our worst ever attack on American soil. We witness 206 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: the loss of two thousand, nine hundred and seventy seven people. 207 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and 208 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: their families ever since. When a first responder, a military 209 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: service member doesn't come home and young kids are left behind, 210 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the 211 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: financial burden and bring the family stability.

And thank goodness, the 236 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: foresight to know the story behind that actually was you 237 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: remember when Obama was appointing people that couldn't get passed 238 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: through the Senate. They couldn't get confirmed through the Senate, 239 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: of course, so he would name Van Jones the greens 240 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: are because you didn't want his record being out there 241 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: public people would find out, and so he would name 242 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: everybody a czar to something. And so he on his 243 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: thirty second csar, I said, all right, if he can 244 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: name czars to everything, I'm the czar of talk.

No, 247 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: he didn't, but he's lasted longer at CNN, which is 248 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Means he has a zipper on his pants. 249 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: I gotta give the gude of credit. So tell us 250 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: this man, you know, we we have been trying to 251 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: trying to fight for COVID freedom. We're gonna talk about 252 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: it more of this hour because I come from New 253 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: York City, which is has turned into very expensive East 254 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: Germany during the COVID period. I mean, the lockdown's the madness. 255 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: Obviously a Tennessee guy, so he didn't have to deal 256 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: with the same level of crazy that I did Texas. 257 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: It feels like was obviously better than New York California 258 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: during COVID, and everyone walked around here there's no mask. Said, oh, 259 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: if you got to do an uber here, you still 260 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: have to wear a mask, which is annoying, and you 261 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: know the airport too. But right, but well, technically under 262 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: their policy you did. I've had to take the selfies 263 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: you know when you violate the policy. So I'm sensitive 264 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: to this. You have to keep taking the selfie. I 265 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: only had to do on one. I had to do 266 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: it probably five or sixty. What is this your punishment that, yes, 267 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: somebody turns you in for not wearing a mask. Then 268 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: the next time you get an uber, they have a 269 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: you have to take a picture of yourself to send 270 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: to them to verify that you have a mask in 271 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: order to be able to book a car. Yeah, stupid crazy, 272 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: it's crazy crazy. I've never heard of that here, and 273 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: I've never worn a mask in an uber here ever. 274 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: So but I guess your question, Yeah, how did Texas 275 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: do overall? How did you guys do in this? You think, well, 276 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: I think that you have to realize. I mean, right 277 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: now we're in the midst of the whole Texas independence 278 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: thing that you know, it was eighteen thirty six. But 279 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: we're in that thirt thirteen day period where the Alamo 280 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: Battle and all this our declaration of independence from Mexico. 281 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: This is a frontier spirit people.

He's no 330 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: RHN de Santis. I'll tell you that is that race, Lynnyonkin, 331 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: I mean he's not. That race is going to be 332 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: not remotely close though, right Beto is dead in your mind. No, 333 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: it'll be closer than it should be, you think, so. Yeah, 334 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, Ted Cruz beat Beato in eighteen in a year, 335 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: in a kind of a weird year, but he barely 336 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: beat him, and it was a lot money from California. 337 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: In New York, Abbott will beat him. Abbott will will 338 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: pull higher because he'll pull more independence than Ted Cruz does. 339 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: He's less liked by the base. Abbot will beat him. 340 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: But Abbot's sitting on a pilot cash. It'll take everything 341 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: he's got to get there. Beato's a good campaigner, he is. 342 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: We talked yesterday about the Hispanic vote and how much 343 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: it's moving towards Republicans, particularly in South Texas. Do you 344 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: feel that, do you see it? Is it sustainable? Is 345 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: it a real thing? Certainly it happened in twenty Will 346 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: it grow in twenty two? You will? So you take 347 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: Henry Quaar's race. Henry Quare a moderate Democrat and he 348 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: truly is a moderate Democrat, but he's hawkish on you know, 349 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: build the wall, seal the border. Quare got pushed into 350 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: a runoff by an AOC backed, you know, Bernie Sanders 351 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: back candidate. So Quare is a guy that is kind 352 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: of a representative of where Hispanics, Latinos on the border are. 353 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this at dinner last night. 354 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: Latinos in this state are mostly Catholic, their pro life everything. 355 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is anti Democrat right, their pro life, 356 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: their pro family, their military veterans, their police officers, their 357 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: public servants, or people of faith. Everything the Democrats stand 358 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: for now is the exact opposite. Alexandrio Cassio Cortest does 359 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: not represent them. And I think, as we discussed last night, 360 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: Trump is really good. Trump was really good at reaching 361 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: out to these people because he didn't pander to him, 362 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: He talked honestly to them. And yeah, you see it, 363 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: you feel it, especially second third, fourth generation Latinos, first generation, 364 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: we're still struggling. And a big part of that, obviously 365 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: is also the small in this component to shut down 366 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: everything with COVID. The Latino community wanted to work, the 367 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: Democrats wanted to shut down, and so that continues. And 368 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: Latino is there a harder working group of people than 369 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: Latinos in this country. That's not Pandessa God, honest truth. 370 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: They work. And the attention that the Democrat Party gave 371 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: specifically to BLM and the riots, I think in the 372 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: election year also because Trump did do better than the 373 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: Republican average at a national level with Latino voters, and 374 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: I think there was a sense of what is going 375 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: on with law and order in this country too, which 376 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: obviously also extends down to the situation at the border. 377 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about that a bit, because 378 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: if there's one place where media well, I can't really 379 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: say that a lot of places where media reality versus 380 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: the actual reality has an enormous golf. But on the 381 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: border and border coverage, you don't see it a lot 382 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 1: from the national outlets, you don't see much talk about it. 383 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: The polling shows this is a top three concern nationally 384 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: for a lot, and that's nationwide. That's not even just 385 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: along the border of the border states. How are you 386 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: last year was one point six one point seven million 387 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: I think encounters. The official number doesn't include goadaways. You're 388 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: looking at basically two million illegal entries in the the United 389 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: States last year. How do you feel and see and 390 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: hear about that reality as a text in here along 391 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: the border? That's buck That's a great question because it 392 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: manifests itself in news stories. You know, nobody counts how 393 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: many illegal aliens are standing at the home depot waiting 394 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: on jobs. But where you see the number of illegal 395 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: aliens and the real problem where it manifests itself is 396 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: that you'll have a murder by an illegal alien of 397 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, a woman who's out for a job. And 398 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: you combine that with the bond reform, which meant that 399 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: when you catch these guys they're getting put back out 400 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: on the streets. So now it's a multiplier of their 401 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: ability to do damage and rereak havoc. So you see 402 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: these murders, you see violent crimes, that's a real problem. 403 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: The sex trafficking is through the roof, that's that's a 404 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: big problem. And the fentanyl depths. I mean, this is 405 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: the car the cartel corridor. They're moving drugs up into 406 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: our country across this border. You using mules that look 407 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: like just a person that wants to cut grass or 408 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: raise babies, and it's really really bad on our streets. 409 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: We're seeing record fentanyl deaths, and so I think you're 410 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: seeing it manifested in violence, You're seeing it in sex trafficking, 411 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: which is now way up, and you're seeing it in 412 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: drug trafficking. What about the crime rate in Houston. We 413 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this. Everybody focuses on Chicago. 414 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: There's been a great deal of discussion about New York 415 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: and LA, but Houston's crime has been out of control 416 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: and got nowhere near the national attention. What's going on here? 417 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: Fox News two weeks ago declared after the January numbers 418 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: came in, declared Houston the murder capital of America. That's 419 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: not something you don't want to take that from Chicago. 420 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: Let them have it. But the bond reform has been 421 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: really bad. When Democrats swept in under Barack Obama, they 422 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: took all the county wide seats, they took all the 423 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: criminal district court judge ships, and as a result, they're 424 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: just putting people back out. One guy was out on 425 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: multiple bonds, murdered a police officer, and we've had just 426 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: case after case after case of this. It's a perfect 427 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 1: storm of awful Democrat mayor, Democrat, county judge, Democrat, district 428 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: court judges, criminal court judges, Democrat sheriff. And so what 429 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: you're witnessing is the cops are doing their job, but 430 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: you bring somebody down with blood all over them, and 431 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: they're released back out on the streets the same day 432 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: and they're out committing more crimes. It's really really bad. 433 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: We don't necessarily have more criminals. It's a multiplier effect 434 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: on the damage that a criminal cantendue to a society 435 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: because they commit more crimes when they would have been 436 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: in prison before. Is there a blowback here like we're 437 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: seeing in New York and LA against the district attorneys 438 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: and everybody else. There was a blowback in the Democrat 439 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: primary Clay, which was really surprising. We had eight criminal 440 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: court judges Democrat criminal court judges in Harris County, the 441 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: county you're sitting in right now, who were up for 442 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: reelection and were contested. Five of them either lost outright. 443 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: One of them was seventeen percent of the vote in 444 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: his own primary, got him Gregg Glass. Five of them 445 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: lost outright or are pushed into a runoff, and all 446 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: of them are trailing. So even the Democrats understand that 447 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: bond reform has been a bust. You've got to have trials, 448 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: You've got to punish bad people, because what we're seeing 449 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: is the victims of the crimes are minorities themselves. So 450 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party locally relies on the minority vote. That's 451 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: been their stronghold. That's who's being hurt the worst by 452 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: the crime that's being visited on this community. Before we 453 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: let you go, Michael, the great dream of the Democrats. 454 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: We hear it. We've heard it for many years. It's 455 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: to flip Texas blue. We're at a time where Florida 456 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: is trending more solidly read than anybody could have thought. 457 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: I think even a few years ago. How do we 458 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: keep Texas read well? I think you have to hold 459 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: your own among Latinos in South Texas and we're seeing 460 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: that and a wide open border place right into the 461 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: hands of Republicans. We also need to do very well 462 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: with suburban moms. That's where Trump really suffered in twenty 463 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: We have to do well with suburban moms. And that's 464 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: where I think mommy issues matter. Critical race theory that 465 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: matters to mommy's opening the schools, getting the map, asks 466 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: off of them, transgender issues in the school age, appropriate education. Uh, 467 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: these sorts of issues really matter. Educational choice to moms, 468 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: these sort of things matter. That's how young can one. 469 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: In Virginia, that's how we keep Look how they turned 470 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: Virginia red from being purple, and that's how we stay 471 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: We do that in Texas. We got an event to 472 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: Texas Barbecue, beer and bourbon. What do you expect? What 473 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: should people who are coming? And we got a good crew. 474 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: What should they expect, Well, first of all, they're gonna 475 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: get to meet Clay Travis and Buck Saxon. No, No, 476 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: I'll kill you say. Incredible, The same happen. We talked 477 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: about some of the legends yesterday that we grew up 478 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: listening to. But when you get to listen to a 479 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: guy who's been coming through your radio, whether he's making 480 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: music or talking on the air, you know you're listening 481 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: to his opinion. You get to shake his hand, you 482 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: get to take a photo of him. That to me 483 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: is the fun part. But you know, from a selfish 484 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: perspective for us, you and I get to meet our listeners, 485 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: and that's pretty good to meet veterans and cops and 486 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: firefighters and business owners and couples and wonderful people. So 487 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: it's going be a lot of fun. We're gonna drink 488 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: some bourbons, some beer. We're gonna eat some barbecue. We're 489 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: gonna do a panel discussion of us and Jesse Kelly, Tracy, 490 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: Bird's gonna perform, Josh Fuller Band's gonna perform.

Thanks to Michael Barry 531 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: and also our friend Jesse Kelly for making us feel 532 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: so welcome here and the people all across Houston, who 533 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: will be joining us tonight, And I'll be at the 534 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: rodeo tomorrow with the producer Ali, and we're gonna be 535 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: I don't know, Clay. I don't think I'm not going 536 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: to get on horseback, but maybe maybe we talked about donkeys. 537 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: They move a little slower, a little closer to the ground. 538 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: I just viral moment you getting bucked off of a 539 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: horse or donkey and ending up on the ground. I 540 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: just think that that's going to be a meme that 541 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: would be shared for a long time to come. Buck 542 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: gets bucked. That would definitely keep it going. And I 543 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: would probably have a sling on my arm for a 544 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: while doing radio in here, and that would be best 545 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: case scenario. But nonetheless, great to be down here. And 546 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: it's interesting to see yet another place in the country 547 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: where it's pretty much normal. I mean, people are living 548 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: life here, and we're getting closer to that in a 549 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: lot of other places. But in New York City, the 550 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: fight is still under way. And as we've been saying 551 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: to you, the mission is not to allow them, the Democrats, 552 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: the Biden regime, to give us back basic freedom and dignity. 553 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: Slowly to get to push the crumbs off the table 554 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: of freedom toward us. So we say, oh, thank you 555 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: so much. You mean you mean I can breathe normally. 556 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: You mean my kid doesn't have to be mashed up 557 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: for eight hours to day in school. I'm not saying 558 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: thank you to any of them. I got something else 559 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: I want to say to them, but I can't say 560 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: it on radio. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. 561 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: You have Governor Kathy Hokel who is talking about the 562 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: bullying of children who continue to wear masks and how 563 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: we need to be on guard against this play eighteen. 564 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: We will not have any tolerance for people who are 565 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: questioning someone's own personal decision to do what they want. 566 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: If people want to continue wearing masks, they allow it 567 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: to be continue wearing masks, and I don't want any 568 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: issues related to that. And I want to be very 569 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: clear on that. We will not stand for any bullying 570 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: or ostracization or harassment of an individual or a business 571 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: or anyone who chooses to wear a mask. Clay, This, 572 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: to me is the classic tactic of the left. Remember 573 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday with the transgender agenda, and I said, 574 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: courtesy and politeness and manners was a way that they 575 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: got a lot of us to complain. Okay, just be nice, 576 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: just use the preferred pronoun here. It's don't tell people 577 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: the mask is so important to them, don't bully. No 578 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: one's talking about bullying, but they're acting like explaining. And 579 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: this is of course a reference to what Ronda Santists 580 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: did with those high school kids, explaining that masking in 581 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 1: public is not only no longer necessary from a legal perspective, 582 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: but was never sane from a medical perspective. Is not bullying. 583 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: I think you're doing a kindness to people now when 584 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: you of course, the way you say it matters. When 585 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: you say, hey, you really don't have to do that, 586 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: you know it really doesn't help you, and it makes 587 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: everyone else feel a little bit weird. Well, it's ironic 588 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: that she's worried about bullying now, because I've felt like 589 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,239 Speaker 1: I was bullied to have to wear a mask for 590 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: two years at so many different places where there was 591 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: no justification whatsoever to wear it. So bullying to me. 592 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: You can't suddenly change the policy and then accuse people 593 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,719 Speaker 1: who you've been forcing to wear masks of bullying you 594 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: When the DeSantis clip is a great example, they actually 595 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: point out that you're doing something that is nonsensical and 596 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: without scientific basis in fact, and this goes to where 597 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: we're going to be as a country. And I don't 598 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: know how this is going to resolve itself or how 599 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: long it's going to take, but eventually everyone is going 600 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: to be arguing. By and large, I really do believe 601 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: this that they always knew that masking didn't make sense, 602 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: in the same way that nowadays, if you asked somebody 603 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: who was around during Vietnam, almost everyone who was involved 604 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: in Vietnam, you may have gotten drafted discussing it. Almost 605 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: everyone now says, yeah, I knew Vietnam made no sense. 606 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: This is the way that the lockdowns and the masking 607 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: and all of the COVID craziness that we've had to 608 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: deal with, including airplanes, everybody is eventually going to say, buck, oh, 609 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: I knew no kid should ever wear masks. I knew 610 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: no kid. I knew it made no sense to ever 611 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: wear mask on an airplane. When many of those people 612 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: who later say it are the ones who are the 613 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: zealots and have been bullying people like you and me. 614 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: If we pull down our mask for a fraction of 615 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: a second New York City Mayor Eric Adams bring it 616 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: into the city level from the state level with HOCl 617 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: is still I mean, so so everyone understands this. The 618 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: data for vaccine showed that what was at five to 619 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: twelve year olds effectively got no benefit from the boosters 620 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: I think it was, or no no benefit from the 621 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: vaccine at a vaccine at all in terms of getting 622 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: the virus right. So you whether you get the whether 623 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: you get the vaccine or not, as a five to 624 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: twelve year old has the vaccine did not stop the spread, 625 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: which we've known for a long time, and your odds 626 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: of dying as a child in that age range from COVID. 627 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: Remember you can't get the vaccine, doesn't stop you from 628 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: getting it. Your odds of dying if you get it 629 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: is something like one in a million. I mean, it's 630 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: something that is so remote that you would not worry 631 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: about those odds in any other aspect of your child's life. Meanwhile, 632 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: and it's even hard to keep all this stuff straight. 633 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: For those who are in K through K through twelve schools, 634 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: mask mandate is god. But if you are I think three, 635 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: four and five in pre K, that stay somehow but 636 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: here's the Mayor Eric Adams play clip sixteen. Beginning Monday, 637 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: March seventh, we will be suspended the requirements and so 638 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: folks can come in and enjoy the restaurants, enjoy the 639 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: businesses and be a part of this great city without 640 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: having to show proof of vaccination. So that means our restaurants, 641 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: our businesses, and our concerts venue will no longer need 642 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: to require pay as to provide this proof. As of 643 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: this week, the school's positivity rate is zero point eighteen percent. 644 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: So I'm announcing today that we are lifting the indoors 645 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: mass requirements Forde Schools between K through twelve starting Monday, 646 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: March seventh. Just one thing. Clay noticed that in New 647 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: York and California and with the CDC, the Biden regime, 648 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: the words they use are lifting, suspending. You don't hear 649 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: them really say ending, yes, And I think everyone needs 650 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: to pay close attention to that. You don't hear them saying, 651 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, we're here in Texas. Texas had a mass 652 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: mandate for a while. You know, our friend Michael Barry 653 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: said he didn't think that the governor here did a 654 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: great job during COVID, And you got to Remember there 655 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: were state there were red states that fell for the 656 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: madness for a while too. There's no doubt. And that's 657 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: why I think this election, this mid term, we have 658 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: to send a message that there are consequence is for 659 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: the mask insanity, that there are consequences for the vaccine mandate. 660 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: Buck think about this. Now New York City is ending 661 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: the requirement that you have to show that you had 662 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: a vaccine in order to go into a McDonald's, right, 663 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: and I think when people look back on this, it's 664 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: going to be wild. Remember you've never had to show 665 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: proof of vaccination to do anything in this country before, 666 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: including for viruses that are far more serious. Right, You've 667 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: never had to show if you're going to go get 668 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: a big mac, that you've had a vaccine for measles. 669 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:39,439 Speaker 1: It never required. And so don't underestimate how radical the 670 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: proposition that you had to show a vaccine card in 671 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: order to enter into a basic business was, And don't 672 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: underrate once they have set the precedent that they can 673 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: do it as soon as the mid terms are over. 674 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: What do we know? First weekend, first week in November, 675 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: still early in the fall, early in the winter season. 676 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 1: Virus season has not peaked. We know, the virus typically 677 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: in the United States past couple of years has peaked 678 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: around January fifteenth or twentieth. So I believe what's going 679 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: to happen is many of these blue state governors, many 680 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: of these blue city mayors, are going to reimplement mask mandates, 681 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: potentially vaccine mandates as soon as the midterms are over. 682 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: I wonder what they're gonna do this summer when it 683 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: comes to the media coverage of what's clearly going to 684 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: be an ink. You know, they'll be COVID cases again 685 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: in the south southeastern United States, in Florida particularly, they're 686 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: gonna start. And I think that they're so brainwashed and 687 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: shameless and dishonest in the national media that going to 688 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: the election, they'll say, well, see, unlike in the Blue 689 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: States after Omicron, everything else, Florida is not obeying the new, updated, 690 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: the new, updated guidance. You know, they're going to stick 691 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: to this narrative in some ways. I think. As crazy 692 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: as that sounds, think about how crazy they've been up 693 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: to this point. But we'll get into more of this 694 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: coming up here. Plus the latest on the not just 695 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: a situation on the ground in an in Ukraine. But 696 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: the US policy discussion about this one which is getting 697 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: more heated understandably. So, how many days a week do 698 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: you wake up in agonizing pain?

What you 738 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: don't know is where in the world, as Buck Sexton 739 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: would call him, the tiny smurf, doctor Fauci is going 740 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: to be We I think we were the first people 741 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: to start to ask this question, Buck, I didn't see 742 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: very many other people in media pointing out that as 743 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 1: the CDC made the decision to change the rules surrounding 744 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: masking and vaccine mandates and everything else, suddenly Fauci disappeared. 745 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: In the lead up to the State of the Union address, Faucci, 746 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: who would do every media outlet on the planet. You 747 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: would see him multiple times a week on CNN, MSNBC, 748 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: quoted all the time, the New York Times and the 749 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: Washington Post. Suddenly he's gone. And you'll remember, if you 750 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: listen to this program, that we have been offering for 751 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci to come on to this program forever. And 752 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: the Foucher moister responded and said, Hey, I'm too busy 753 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: to come on the Clay and Buck Show, which is, 754 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, not to the bragg or draw attention to ourselves, 755 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: but the biggest radio show in the country. And we've 756 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: been wondering where is Fauci. Is he hiding in the 757 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: cover at the MSNBC green room. Has Fouci fallen into 758 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 1: a desk drawer at the NIH and some late night 759 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: janitor closed it up with him yelling in them put 760 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: on your mask. What's going on? I can't see it's 761 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: dark in here. So doctor Fauci has been doing podcasts 762 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: and YouTube shows with virtually no audience. In fact, doctor 763 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: Faucci this week recently appeared and by the way, credit 764 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: to A. Jordan's Shackel Relief who tracked this all down. 765 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 1: You can read about it with him. You can readbout 766 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: it out kick, one of my guys wrote about it. 767 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: He appeared on an online streaming show called woke af 768 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: and that's woke as as I'm sure you can imagine 769 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: what that might stand for. There is virtually no audience. 770 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: He also then has been going on local public access 771 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: to television shows in the Washington, DC area. This is embarrassing. 772 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he is so unbelievably desperate to be able 773 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: to be heard. And by the way, he's continuing to 774 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: rail against the unvaccinated. He's continuing to argue for stop me. 775 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: If you've heard this before, stringent restrictions surrounding COVID. But 776 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: my goodness, I gotta be honest with you, Buck. I 777 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: love that even the Biden administration has finally said to Faucci, 778 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: you're out of here, Bud. They basically have canceled him. 779 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: So let's look at what this really is telling us all. 780 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: Faucci was a political tool all along, and he identified 781 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: that he's an NPR listening CNN, watching New York Times, 782 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: reading live and one that side of this debate to 783 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: be his side of it he wanted to do. He 784 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: never once told Democrats, whether the Biden administration or any 785 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: Democrat governor, something they did not want to hear on COVID, 786 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 1: which is remarkable when you think about it, given how 787 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,479 Speaker 1: much wrongness there was from the establishment of the health 788 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: establishment about COVID and in the apparatus of COVID control. 789 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: And now you see, I'm just wondering if Fauci, at 790 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: some point it's gonna show up and you're gonna see him, 791 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, just in like some local basement doing off 792 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: off off Broadway theater shows like my name is Fauci. 793 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you to mask up, to continue 794 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: to mask And There'll be seven people in the audience, 795 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: three of whom are drunk and don't even know where 796 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: they are. I mean, he this guy is addicted to attention. 797 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: He was all along. There are a few early indicators 798 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: for why I knew and Clay you knew mask. I 799 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,439 Speaker 1: don't know when did you When did you decide before 800 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: I get into this, When did you say to yourself, Oh, 801 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: this guy Fouchy's a problem for me. By May of 802 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, I was like, Fouchi's a big guy. Yeah, May, 803 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: And I think I'm like a lot of people out 804 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: there listening buck because we're about to come up on 805 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: two year anniversary of fifteen days to stop the spread. 806 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: I was willing. I didn't think it was really smart, 807 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,959 Speaker 1: but I was willing. In March of twenty twenty, I said, Okay, 808 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: maybe this fifteen days thing will work, but I wanted 809 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: things to be back to normal really quickly. And by 810 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: I think May is a good good example. Maybe even 811 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: late April you were like, hey, by Easter, we have 812 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: to be back to normal. I gotta give you credit 813 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: because I was not an Easter guy. But soon after 814 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,760 Speaker 1: Easter of twenty I said, oh my god, this is crazy, 815 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: and I got fired up about the fact that kids 816 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: weren't going back to school, and by May I was. 817 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: I was done with the fouchmeister. There was a debate 818 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: I think some folks will remember it now within the 819 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: Trump administration, and Trump was thinking about calling for of 820 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenties that would have been early April, essentially a 821 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: full reopen. We're not doing this, and I was public 822 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: about I said this, we gotta push through. I know 823 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: that there are gonna be problems. I know there's gonna 824 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: be more COVID, but we cannot change our society for this. 825 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: And man, did I get dragged online for that one. 826 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,760 Speaker 1: Of course, turned out it was all true and correct. 827 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 1: And you know, no one ever writes and says I'm 828 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: sorry about all the death threats I wrote you. That 829 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: was a little hysterical of me. I do like the 830 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: criticism of you when people said you were Thanos. That's 831 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: actually pretty funniest. That was a little bit out of thing, 832 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: But I was people out there who don't have kids 833 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: Thanos spoiler alert snaps his fingers and half the people die, 834 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: and so the idea that Buck was. I actually give 835 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: credit to that criticism and think it's a little bit funny. 836 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, you were you were at the early early vanguard. 837 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: There was I was there, Jesse Kelly was there. There 838 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: are a few of us who were just like, this 839 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: is total madness. There should not that we should we 840 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: cannot do this more than two weeks slow the Can 841 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 1: you gonna do this beyond the two weeks to slow 842 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: the spread? And I mean I mentioned this a second ago, 843 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,439 Speaker 1: um because I actually I'm trying to troll tweet Pete 844 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: Buddha Judge, the Transportation Secretary. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm going 845 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 1: after these people now. I want answers and you have 846 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 1: bod we I think we have that clip somewhere right. 847 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 1: He was asked, we don't have a week and get it. 848 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: He was like, well, you know what, before we get 849 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: to that one, I've been saying for a while that 850 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: this is a mental health issue for people now who 851 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: continue to wear masks. Outside Clay there were pro mask 852 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 1: demonstrators singing now that this is not going to be 853 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: pleasant for your ears, folks, but you need to hear 854 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: the lunacy play clip fifteen pro mass demonstrators in New York. Friends, y, 855 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: just because we're tired doesn't mean it's over. These people 856 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: need serious counseling ngulate us harder is basically what they 857 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 1: are screaming at the government. And to your point, we're 858 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: talking about March eighteenth, the in theory would be the 859 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: day when the federal mask mandate the CDC, I believe, 860 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, put in place for airplane travel, for subways, 861 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: everything else, buses. He was asked whether the CDC will 862 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: let him drop the mask mandate on planes and trains. 863 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 1: And it's not going to surprise you that our esteemed 864 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete, who at least to his credit, is finally 865 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: back off of his maternity leave. He didn't have a 866 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 1: good answer here. Play cut nineteen planes, trains, are we 867 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: going to be wearing masks forever? There hasn't been any 868 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 1: change to the guidance that's currently in effect. And you 869 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,760 Speaker 1: can imagine why if you think about the the guidance 870 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: that thankfully has come out that's allowed us and in 871 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: a lot of different places in Washington, for example, where 872 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: the transmission is considered low, to move into kind of 873 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 1: a new stage with regard to these masks. You got 874 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: a plane, you might have one hundred different people from 875 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: ninety nine different counties, some which are low some which 876 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: are high, some which are in between, and so the 877 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: strategy is a little bit different. But the question about 878 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: how long it's going to be required, that's going to 879 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: continue to be based on the findings of the CDC. 880 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: So he sounds like a blathering moron, but I would 881 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,399 Speaker 1: I would try to give him the credit of he's 882 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: just too much of a coward to speak the truth. 883 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: I don't think he's so stupid that the Secretary of 884 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: Transportation thinks what he just said makes a damn bit 885 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: of sense. I don't. I don't think he's that dumb, 886 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: because he does sound like a true moron, and I 887 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,400 Speaker 1: think he's just a dishonest, little political coward, which I 888 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: mean that's been true for a long time. Play the 889 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: CDC does not make law. This is the whole time, 890 00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: this has been the game. We're waiting for the guy 891 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: in the kinds Biden. The binding Ministration could say you 892 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,719 Speaker 1: know what, no where we're done. They could do that tomorrow. 893 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: This thing of oh, we're just letting the experts make 894 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 1: the decisions. And then we go to the experts and 895 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,800 Speaker 1: we say, hey, why are you making these stupid decisions? 896 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: They say, we're not making the decisions, the government's making 897 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: the decisions, the White House making decisions. This is evading 898 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 1: accountability from totalitarians who are idiots also doing buck. The 899 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: CDC just changed the definition of what a significant outbreak was, 900 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: which is how they managed to end the mask mandate. 901 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 1: There are more people dying with COVID today than we're 902 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,439 Speaker 1: dying with COVID a year ago on this date. So 903 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 1: the idea that the CDC is in some way relying 904 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,719 Speaker 1: on science, they could snap their fingers tomorrow and say, 905 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,399 Speaker 1: you know what, we've changed the metrics by which we 906 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: analyze whether people need to wear masks on airplanes. They 907 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 1: don't exist anymore. And by the way I thought of 908 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 1: when I was done with Fauci, I remember my answer. 909 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: Now had to go back in time into my brain 910 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 1: pull it out. On my birthday's April sixth, buck. So 911 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, on April sixth, in the middle of 912 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: still the early part of the lockdown in many ways, 913 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: somebody knocked on the door in my house, went to 914 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:19,479 Speaker 1: the door, opened it, and I had had cupcakes sent 915 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: to my house, nice birthday gift from someone. And the 916 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: person was delivering the cupcakes, and I said, wait a minute. 917 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,959 Speaker 1: Cupcakes are considered an essential business because at that point 918 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: in time, so many non essential businesses, which that's one 919 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,839 Speaker 1: of the many flaws which existed. The all businesses are 920 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: essential if you're employed by them, or you own them, 921 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: or you rely on them. I said, wait a minute. 922 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: The cupcake business is allowed to stay open with no restrictions, 923 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,959 Speaker 1: and they're allowed to go door to door and deliver cupcakes. Now, look, 924 00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: I love if Big Cupcake is listening right now, I'm 925 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 1: not trying to cancel your Big Cupcake. All right. If 926 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: Gig's Cupcakes wants to come in and spend a million 927 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: dollars with Clay and Buck, we'll be ecstatic to have you, 928 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: but it ain't essential that you get cupcakes delivered to 929 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,399 Speaker 1: your house. And so at that point I went out 930 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: on my show and I just said I'm done with 931 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: essential and non essential businesses because there's no way to 932 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 1: justify this. So at that point in time, I was 933 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: basically done with Fauci. That was early in April. I 934 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 1: remember that specific moment. It was all so arbitrary. Every 935 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: aspect of the lockdowns, the mitigation. Not only was it useless, 936 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 1: it was arbitrary. It was actually worse than you. I 937 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: take that back. It's not correct to say that the 938 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: lockdowns and the mandates were useless. They were hurtful. They 939 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,720 Speaker 1: were harmful, they were counter productive, they made things worse. 940 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: It's not just that they didn't. Yeah, masks don't work 941 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 1: very well, but you had to wear masks all the time, 942 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 1: and people now have speech impediment issues, and people have 943 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: learning loss and people have you know, skin problems and 944 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: all kinds of you know, aational health issues that came 945 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: from this that have been suppressed up to this point. 946 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you real quick, so I know, we 947 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,399 Speaker 1: gotta keep moving along here, clay for me. As soon 948 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: as I found first of all, the fauci don't wear 949 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: a mask in public. It's silly. And then a few 950 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: weeks later it's like, of course you should wear a mask. 951 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: I knew of Like, this guy is just a he's 952 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: a bureaucrat. He's going with the winds of politics right now. 953 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: That's all he's doing. But when I found out that 954 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: he was calling Chris Cuomo at home every night when 955 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: he had COVID to check in on him for like 956 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,880 Speaker 1: ten days or seven days or whatever, the you know, 957 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,960 Speaker 1: the quarantine period was It's like there are thousands and 958 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: thousands of seniors dying all over the country. We're getting 959 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 1: overwhelmed by all these different ideas about what we should do. 960 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: It shouldn't with the pandemic. You're gonna call, you know, 961 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 1: weightlifter or forty five year old Cuomo at home, everybody 962 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 1: to check on him because he was a little quizzling 963 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,439 Speaker 1: suck up to power. And I knew that. As soon 964 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 1: as I found that out, I was like, ugh, but 965 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm we're looking for Faucci. He might have fallen into 966 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: a thimble somewhere, you know, or a little bucket or something. 967 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 1: I don't know, a little tiny Fauci. He's missing in 968 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: action right now. I'm still furious over the distinction between 969 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,280 Speaker 1: essential and non essential businesses. Because I started a small business. 970 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 1: I was fortunate. I was able to continue to run 971 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: everything that we did at OutKick through the COVID mess. 972 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: I had employees, we had to make, you know, make 973 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: the payments and and budget and everything else. But for 974 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,280 Speaker 1: those people who lost their business because of that idiot 975 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 1: tyrant and I have to be careful what words that 976 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: I use. I still feel sick to my stomach that 977 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 1: we did that to small business owners who put their 978 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 1: entire heart and soul into their business. A lot of them, 979 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: tons of them listening to us right now, forced to 980 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: shut down because we listen to people like Fauchi. And 981 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm ever going to get over it. 982 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: And Buck, That's why I'm so fired up about November 983 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,879 Speaker 1: of this year. It has to be a reckoning. It 984 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 1: has to be an ass kicking of all ass kickings. 985 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: Mike Glendell, he's the inventor of My Pillow Team Fitness 986 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: for Pillows, introduced us to their ever growing list of 987 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 1: incredible products.
