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

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Cool Welcome man, Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: I hope all of you had fantastic Thanksgivings with your

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: family and friends. I hope you lived in absolutely normal

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: life and we're not in your garage giving your friends

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: and family rapid COVID tests in your pregame premeal festivities.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: So much to get into. I was at the Iron

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: Bowl for Auburn Alabama, one of the best games ever

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: in one of the great rivalries of all time. Met

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: so many awesome Clay and Buck listeners there in Auburn, Alabama.

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: Sorry for the War Eagle contingent for that late collapse.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: We have got a new variant. Joe Biden is speaking

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: about it right now and he says it's a cause

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: for concern, not a cause for panic. We'll give you

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: some of that discussion here in a bit. Doctor Fouci

16
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: says that he is science in an awkward, uncomfortable and

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: wildly wildly evidentiary to me status there, that he needs

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: to be removed from any sort of government job, and

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: all he should have been fired a long time ago.

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Will give you doctor, I am science Fouci. Kyle Rittenhouse

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: attended Arizona State. Attends Arizona State. He was very proud

22
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: of that. We told you that that was going to

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: come into question in the wake of his not guilty verdicts,

24
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and already there are protests at Arizona State demanding that

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: he'd be kicked out of school. We have got bands

26
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: on African travel, which we were all told was wildly

27
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: racist when Donald Trump did them, but because of the

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: new variant coming out of South Africa, it now is

29
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: totally acceptable since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing it.

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: Florida data some positive it iss all time molow in

31
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: hospitalizations from COVID going all the way back to April

32
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. No mask mandate, no vaccine mandate in

33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: Governor Ron DeSantis's free state of Florida. We will discuss

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: that where You're going to be joined by Alex Berenson

35
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: in the third hour of this program to discuss the

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: latest on COVID data. Of course, Alex has been banned

37
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: by many social media platforms, but he can talk directly

38
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: to all of us through this program, which is a

39
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Voice of Light amid the darkness, Buck Sexton, how was

40
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: your Thanksgiving? It was excellent, although there was certainly some

41
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: discussion around the Thanksgiving leftovers tables over the weekend because

42
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: we had food for days and I was with family

43
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: about what happens now, Clay, because you see, you you

44
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: bring news of what it feels like to have relative

45
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: COVID freedom as a person who lives, right, I mean

46
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: as a person who lives still when you get an

47
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: in uber, you go to the airport, I'm here in

48
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: New York City, panic central. As you know, there are

49
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: masks on people outside all over the place, all over again.

50
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Even though we were told we've already been through this

51
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: in the springtime. You remember, they were like, you know,

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: probably don't really need masks outside unless you're really close somebody.

53
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: But people are freaked out. Biden speaking right now, as

54
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: we talk to everybody across the country about these travel

55
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: restrictions that you're mentioning, notably on South Africa, it's already

56
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: in a whole bunch of this omicron variant. And let's

57
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: take our moment because everyone has been making really the

58
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: same joke here. It was supposed to be, or it

59
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: would have been eventually the she I'm not even sure

60
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: if that's the Greek pronunciation, but it's x I, so

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: I might be sae. Yes, you know, however, you say

62
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: and Z is the way that I would say it. Yeah, exactly.

63
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: They're skipping XI because they don't want it to be

64
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: the name of the Chinese premiere as the variant of

65
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: the virus. So that's why we're at omicron right now.

66
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: And this is just another moment a time where we

67
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: have to look at what exactly are they telling us.

68
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: We've been told, oh my gosh, it could be so

69
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: much worse because of the mutations on the their actual

70
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: mutations on the virus. And again I don't understand the epidemiology.

71
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: I understand policy, but they're looking at this and they're saying, Okay,

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: it could be worse. Well, we don't know if it's worse,

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: So what are we really doing. Okay, we're going to

74
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: have these travel restrictions in place. You say, Well, the

75
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: travel restrictions right now, Biden says, won't stop the variant.

76
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: And we already have our hospital capacity and therapeutics and

77
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: all these things that we've been gearing up for. So

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: it's not like at the very beginning when, as you

79
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: and I know, Clay stopping travel from China was racist.

80
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: When Donald Trump totally racist, that was a different circumstance

81
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: based on the timing of what we see here. But

82
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: what's very clear is that this is yet again an

83
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: opportunity for there to be additional pressure on everybody must

84
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: get not just vaccinated, but boostered if vaccinated, because they're not.

85
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: They don't want to wait for the numbers to come out.

86
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: They want people to do this, everyone to do this,

87
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: including children, to be vaccinated and Clay, that's what this

88
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: really comes down to. It's a moment for them to

89
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: tell everybody you must forget natural immunity or forget everything.

90
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: You must get the shot or else. Everything is going

91
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: to be you must get the shot or else for

92
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: the entirety of the wintertime under this administration. This new

93
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: variant comes out of South Africa, and there is an

94
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: immediate media panic that has ensued, a political panic that

95
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: has ensued in the Blue States and among the usual

96
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: COVID fear porn purveyors. We don't know all of the

97
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: information about it yet, but we do know that the

98
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: South African doctor who identified this new variant has been

99
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: urging calm, saying there's no reason to panic, only mild

100
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: symptoms so far. The stock market, by the way, on

101
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Friday dropped a thousand points. We had restrictions coming out

102
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: all over the place. Your home state of New York. Buck.

103
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: They've done away with any sort of surgery that's non

104
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: emergency elective surgery been ended. But let's listen to what

105
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: she had to say. Cut eight, the South African doctor

106
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: discussing her discovery of this new variant. Looking at the

107
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: mildness of the symptoms that we are seeing currently, there's

108
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: no reason for panicking as we don't see severely ill patience.

109
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: The most predominant clinical complaint is severe fatigue for one

110
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: or two days, with the headache and the body ache

111
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: and pain. Some of them will have what they call

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: a scratchy throat, and some will have a cough, a

113
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: dry cough, but it's not a constant coffee comes and go,

114
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: and that's more or least than big symptoms that we

115
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: have seen. So Clay also, there's a point here about

116
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: when people say comes from South that's actually not even

117
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: known epidemiologically. I've been I've been looking, I've been looking

118
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: into discover so it may just be that they had

119
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: been testing very aggressively in a certain area and found

120
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: it first, because it already is in other places. So

121
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: this notion that we can isolate even the origin of

122
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: a virus like this or even the first does anyone

123
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: think this is the first mutation or the first very

124
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: It's not like it. You know, there's there's a variant mutation,

125
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: and we get that, we get the patient zero, so

126
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: to speak, the first guy. This is just where they're

127
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: finding it, which means it's already. Faucci even said it's

128
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: already probably here in America. I think they've even had

129
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: a handful of cases omicron cases in Australia. But given

130
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: which is very locked down, which is why that's noteworthy,

131
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: it still has all the a lot of international travel restrictions.

132
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, clay As, I mean, Faucci is

133
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: addressing the country, and I do think that he is

134
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: the worst public health official in the modern history of

135
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the United States and arguably in the planet. But put

136
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: that aside for a second. He and we'll come back

137
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: to it, must vaccinate the world to beat the pandemic.

138
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: This is now the new The whole world must get

139
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: vaccinated to beat the pandemic is what the messaging is

140
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: from the Biden administration. How long is that going to

141
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: take well? And also especially when the vaccines aren't particularly

142
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: effective at preventing the spread of virus. This is what

143
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: we said, by the way, on this show for months

144
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: that one of the reasons why they argued that every

145
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: single person out there had to be vaccinated the United

146
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: States kids, particularly people who've already had COVID, was they said, well,

147
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: you don't know where the variants are going to emerge,

148
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: and we said on this show, actually you can kind

149
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: of come up with a mathematical probability, and it's going

150
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: to be the countries where there are large populations and

151
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: where the virus is spreading most significantly. Delta, we think,

152
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: came out of India, and now this newest variant is

153
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: coming out of Africa, huge populations there. The virus is

154
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: going to mutate. And by the way, we should say

155
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: this too, some viral mutations could be favorable. We've only

156
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: been focused on Delta makes it easier to spread all

157
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: those things. It's possible oftentimes this happens buck where a

158
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: virus mutates to become easier to transmit, but far less virulent.

159
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: So it could be that this new variant out of

160
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: South Africa, which the doctor who found it, let me

161
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: make sure I get her name right, that we were

162
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: just listening to doctor Angelique Coatsy, it could be and

163
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this with Barrens in the third hour,

164
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: that some of these variants that emerge actually are helpful

165
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: because they are less debilitating and significant, even in the

166
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,119
Speaker 1: case of the elderly. As these variants spread, the mutations,

167
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: in other words, could be beneficial as opposed to always

168
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: being negative, which is the way the media covers them.

169
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: And yet the panic that ensued on Friday, I gotta

170
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: tell you felt so overblown from the perspective of an

171
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: administration that at this point has had multiple variants. And

172
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: I think this is why they're having this. And Biden

173
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: still now talking the country. He says, I don't believe

174
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: shutdowns or lockdowns will be needed. The fact that this

175
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: is right now, okay, right as we're talking to you,

176
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Biden's also saying everybody should wear a mask indoors they

177
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: want to go based on this, And you have that

178
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: South African doctor saying, look, she's essentially describing the symptoms

179
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: of a mild cold. I think we all know that.

180
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: That is when you're talking about a slight sore throat fatigue,

181
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, or maybe a pretty you a medium cold.

182
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Biden is saying, I don't believe shutdowns or lockdowns will

183
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: be needed. The fact that their mentality is that we

184
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: would ever go back to that, The answer to that

185
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: should be no, never again. It wasn't effective when we

186
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: get it the last time, you're going to do this again.

187
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: This just shows the mentality. These people have lost their minds.

188
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: They have buck and there's never gonna be lockdowns in

189
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: the Red State America again. Never ever, ever are people

190
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: going back to that. I don't even think people in

191
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the Red State America are going to wear masks. And

192
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: what I keep waiting for, and it hasn't happened yet,

193
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: is for Blue state America to say we're done with this.

194
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: New York, California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, places where Illinois there have

195
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: been draconian, dictator like metrics that have been undertaken that

196
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: are doing nothing to make people safer. By the way,

197
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: this is the significant part Florida, and I wanted to

198
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: read this because I doubt that anybody else is hardly

199
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: even going to discuss this in the media. I think

200
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of a significant detail. This is this morning,

201
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: Florida announced that they now have the lowest rate of

202
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: COVID hospitalization that they have had going all the way

203
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: back to April of last year, under a thousand statewide

204
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: hospitalizations for the first time since they began tracking this

205
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: beginning in April of twenty twenty. Florida has the lowest

206
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: case rate in the country and the second lowest hospitalization rate.

207
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: No COVID vaccine mandate and no mask mandate virtually anywhere

208
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: in the state. I was down there for Thanksgiving, Buck

209
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: and in the Free States Tennessee, Florida, Texas. I was

210
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: in Alabama for the Iron Bowl. You would never know

211
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: COVID had ever existed. And you know what they say

212
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: about that clay, that statistic is making the rounds you're

213
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: putting it out there. I am, Oh, it's because everybody

214
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: got so sick over the summer in Florida. That's why

215
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: that's you know, this her community for the wind. So

216
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: you sit here, you say, okay, so what exactly that

217
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: is the way forward? In these blue states. I'll explaining

218
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: what their plan is gonna be well, we'll come back

219
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: into more of this. Plus Fauci. You know Louis the fourteenth,

220
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: You know tats SAMOI right, I am the state. The

221
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: siance is Fauci. Apparently he is science. We'll get to

222
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: that in a second. You can make a long list

223
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: of the items and services you purchase every month that

224
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: are suddenly more expensive. Cell phone service does not have

225
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: to be one of them. Pure Talk Cellular is changing

226
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: all that. If you're using AT and T, Verizon or

227
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: T Mobile, you're paying too much money every month. Pure

228
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: Talk is on the exact same five G network, using

229
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: the exact same towers as one of those big carriers,

230
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: but for far less money. In fact, pure Talk can

231
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: save you fifty or sixty dollars a month. A family

232
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: on a plan can save as much as eight hundred

233
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: dollars a year, and switching is so easy. You can

234
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: keep your number and your phone, or you can use

235
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: this month to keep your number and get a new

236
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: iPhone at a great price, just four hundred and seventy

237
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: nine dollars. Listen to this offer from pure Talk. Unlimited

238
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: talk text and six gigs of data on pure talks

239
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: five G network is just thirty dollars a month, Clay,

240
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: how do they get hooked up? They get hooked up

241
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: the same way my own sun got hooked up with

242
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: a thirty day risk free guarantee, nothing to lose from

243
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: your cell phone. Get them in your hands now, dial

244
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: pound two fifty and say pure talk, and you'll say

245
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: fifty percent off your first month, and you can also save,

246
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: as Buck said, on a brand new phone again from

247
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: your phones right now, join the tens of thousands of

248
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: smart listeners who've already saved a bundle with pound two

249
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: five zero say pure talk. Some restrictions apply, Call for detail.

250
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.

251
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: Science is supposed to be something where you're able to

252
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: ask questions right. You're supposed to be able to have debate.

253
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: You're supposed to have a discussion about what's real, what's not.

254
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: Test and retest hypotheses. There's a scientific method. Sometimes you're wrong,

255
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: you say, hold on, could this be the case? You

256
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: try it out, it's wrong, You say, okay, we learned

257
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: something new. You move forward. Someone says, well I disagree.

258
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: You go okay, let's test it. That's what science. As

259
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: we were all taught in grammar school is supposed to be.

260
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: But folks, that's all wrong. I hate to be the

261
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: bearer of bad news. The notion of science as an

262
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: approach and a discipline, an intellectual discipline based upon data

263
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: and truth. Doctor Faucci is actually science, believe it or not.

264
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: He is science, the walking embodiment of it. The messiah

265
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: of science is that evil little smurf walking around in

266
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: his lab coat. Here he is. Anybody who's looking at

267
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: us carefully realizes that there's a distinct anti science flavor

268
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: to this. So if they get up and criticize science,

269
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna know what they're talking about. But if they

270
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Faucci,

271
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: well people could recognize there as a person there, So

272
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: it's easy to criticize. But they're really criticizing science. Because

273
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: I represent science. That's dangerous. No serious scientist or human

274
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: being would ever say that on ironically out loud Clay.

275
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: I represent science. He's every bit as bad as I've

276
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: said he is for almost two years now. Also, let's

277
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: put in context how this interview happens. We have requested

278
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: doctor Fouci to come on this show, because we have

279
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: questions we'd like to ask, and we'd be respectful. He's declined,

280
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: saying he doesn't have time. When I watched this interview

281
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: with CBS, they had an entire room set up for

282
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: an in depth interview on Face the Nation For people

283
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: out there who don't understand how these kind of things

284
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: get set up. This is a week's in the process,

285
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: sit down interview with doctor Fouci in an effort for

286
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: him to be able to directly combat his critics with

287
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: almost no pushback from his interviewer. When he says I

288
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: am science, which, as you said, the state is me,

289
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: I am the Senate. These are statements that are meglomaniacal right,

290
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, these are not normal things that a person

291
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: would say. But when you actually break it down, he

292
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: seems to me Fauci like he is feeling the heat

293
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: on a level that he may not have before, because

294
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: this feels like an interview he's doing to try to

295
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: cancel out some of the negativity. There's that, and there's

296
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: also something that I think we're gonna be talking about

297
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: more probably in a few months than we are right now.

298
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: But that is what does the history of this actually sound?

299
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Like and look like this whole pandemic response. Faucci wants

300
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: to ride this thing out in his position to the

301
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: end so that they can claim victory. Yes, I know

302
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: this is going to drive people nuts. But the shutting

303
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: down of playgrounds so kids can't go outside to protect

304
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: them from COVID, the arresting of the paddle board around

305
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: and all of that will be swept under the rug

306
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: and it will be Fauci saves millions of fives, and

307
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: the Biden administration was putting him in the position to

308
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: do so that's the narrative that they want to cling to.

309
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to that and more coming up here in

310
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: a moment. The uncertainty of a stock market continues to

311
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: make front page headlines. Friday's large dip of nine hundred

312
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: points Today's rebound looks like that's going pretty well, but

313
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: who knows. It only reinforces the notion you cannot depend

314
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: solely on stocks and bombs for your retirement plan. You

315
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: need more consistency and more protection for your savings and

316
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: IRA accounts. That comes with investing in gold, which has

317
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: proven to be a reliable way to protective value of

318
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: your dollar. Buying gold is one thing. Taking possession of

319
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: it is another. It's so easy when you have it

320
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: sent right to your home, and it's a really satisfying

321
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: experience actually holding that gold in your hands. If you

322
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: think buying goal is complicated, it's not. Call my friends

Speaker 1: back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. President Biden has

329
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: just finished speaking and he wants everybody to know. Hey, guys,

330
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: if we just wear masks and get vaccinated, we're not

331
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to have lockdowns again. I'm gonna tell you

332
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: this right now. If Joe Biden tries to implement lockdowns again,

333
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: there are going to be protests the likes of which

334
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure we've ever seen in most of our

335
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: lives in the United States. Wait, wait, hold on, do

336
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: you think so? Yes, because because red states are not

337
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: locking down. Yeah, but it was always done at the

338
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: state level, right, so, and if Joe Biden try to

339
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: federal lockdown, I totally agree with you. But I dude,

340
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: I think New York and California people have lost their minds,

341
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: Like they'll do it again. I hate to be the

342
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: bearer of bad news. They will do it again because

343
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: they take the virus seriously. I will tell you this.

344
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: My wife asked me the other day, buck She said, hey,

345
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: this we were talking about tangible impact on New York City.

346
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to go away for a couple of

347
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: days right around Christmas, just the two of us. And

348
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: she said, Hey, where do you want to go? Do

349
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: you want to go to New York City and the

350
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, and and and hang out and just the

351
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: two of us will go out. Uh and And I

352
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: was like, well, I'm not vaccinated. I'm not gonna be

353
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: able to go to any restaurant. I can't go to

354
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: any What is this just the two of us? Where's

355
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: the buckster in this equation? Yeah? Well, uh, I mean,

356
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: and we got three kids. She's she's had a busy, busy,

357
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: busy fall. Like we've had a busy I've been on

358
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: the road the whole time. So we're gonna get away

359
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. And I was like, you know,

360
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: I love New York like a lot of people out there,

361
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: it's fun to go to New York for a weekend.

362
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I said, no, I don't want to

363
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: go to New York on a leisure, fun vacation trip.

364
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: And there have to be millions of people. I was

365
00:20:54,200 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: reading that the overall hotel occupancy rate remains massively low

366
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: for Manhattan, for New York City, And so you know

367
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna go to Florida for

368
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: a couple of days. And I spent a ton of

369
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: time in Florida already. But the reason I was thinking

370
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: about that, Buck is that's a tangible decision that is

371
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: fairly substantial amount of money that I could spend that

372
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: otherwise would go into New York City coffers, all of

373
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: the hotel rooms, all the taxes associated with our trip

374
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: to New York City. Instead, it's going to go to Florida.

375
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: And the reason why I thought that was interesting is Buck,

376
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: Florida has right now, according to the data that I've seen,

377
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: basically right back where they were in twenty nineteen in

378
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: terms of vacation. People are traveling to Florida at the

379
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: exact same rates nearly as they were and do you

380
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: know where I'm going for my birthday slash Christmas Florida, Miami,

381
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: right South Florida. Well, yeah, now we're getting really in

382
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: the details. Yea, yeah, yeah, I mean, but it's not

383
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: a surprise, right, You're making a tangible decision people all

384
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: over the country. Maybe Nancy Pelosi's deciding to relocate there.

385
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: And that's because I really think that there is going

386
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: to be a uprising. I really think this, Buck, and

387
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: you can call me crazy. I think Blue states, and

388
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: I think Blue State moms in particular, if they try

389
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: and take their kids back out of school and if

390
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: they tell them we're going back remote because of COVID,

391
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: I really think that they are going to rise up.

392
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: I think they're not going to take it anything. So

393
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm so exposed, Clay to the smarmy authoritarians here

394
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: in New York that I can very easily envision where

395
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: they're likely to take this in the wintertime, and that

396
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: is not full on lockdown. And remember we never there's

397
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: so much here. We never did an actual lockdown the

398
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: way other countries did. In America. There were always it

399
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: was the you know, the zoom meeting slash bring you

400
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: your food that everybody has to go to the same

401
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: grocery store. But there were always frontline workers, people that

402
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: were still doing their jobs. I remember going to my

403
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: grocery store that I know the folks there, they didn't

404
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: miss a day at work, right, I mean, they were

405
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: showing up. They were doing their jobs day in and day.

406
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: So we never did a full even two week total

407
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: shutdown of everything obviously, because you can't do that, and

408
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: we didn't really do a full We didn't really do

409
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: a partial one. We shut down offices, restaurants, you know,

410
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: a number of other gathering venues, and then a lot

411
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: of the spread, of course, was occurring in hospitals and homes. Yes,

412
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: which is which is what would have been expected, I think.

413
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: But here's what I think they're going to do. They're

414
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: going to go back to the quasi restricts were so

415
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: abused in the Blue States. So everyone who's listening to

416
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: this in New York, I know, the Texans are all like,

417
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, stinks for you, Rightiandians Texans Tennessee. Maybe guys

418
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: are all sitting pretty sec footprint where you like, screw

419
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: you guys, if you live in if you live in

420
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: New York, if you live in California, if you live

421
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: in any number of New Jersey, you know, large blue states.

422
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: They're going to hobby do not shutdowns of restaurants, but

423
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: capacity restrictions, not total shutdowns of businesses, but mask requirements.

424
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: They're going to bring back these things, and that's going

425
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: to be one for the compliance. The mentality that this

426
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: brings about in people. Right, I'll do whatever I'm told.

427
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: And also, if we do have with all the natural

428
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: immunity and all the vaccinations that are out there right now,

429
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: we probably will have a well certainly, and I pray

430
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: and hope a much milder winter from COVID than we

431
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: did last time. You know what they're going to say, Clay,

432
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: All the restrictions saved us this time. That's what's good.

433
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: If we are at fifty percent of hospitalizations and fifty

434
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: percent of fatalities, which, by the way, I hope it's

435
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: much less than that, but obviously that would be progress.

436
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: They'll tell you that the mask requirements, the vax mandates,

437
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: all of that was what saved us. What's interesting is

438
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: unfortunately places like Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, New Hampshire, they're all

439
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: setting many of them either close to or new overall

440
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: hospitalization records. Now. Now, I hope the treatments and everything

441
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: else associated with that is going to lead to a

442
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: reduced death rate, but I'm not that optimistic about where

443
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: we are headed. By the way Fauci here, he is

444
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: as part of his interview saying, it's really too early

445
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: to say whether new lockdowns are mandates. We have to

446
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: prepare for the worst. I don't know, George, it's really

447
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: too early to say. We just really need to, as

448
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: I've said so often, prepare for the worst. And it

449
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: may not be that we're going to have to go

450
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: the route that people are saying. We don't know a

451
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: lot about this virus, so we want to prepare as

452
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: best as we can. But it may turn out that

453
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: this preparation, although important, may not necessarily push us to

454
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: the next level. People talking about lockdowns, people talking about that,

455
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: Let's see what the information that we're getting in real

456
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: time tells us, and we'll make decisions based on the

457
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: science and the evidence the way we always do. I

458
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: prepare for the worst every time Fouci opens his mouth,

459
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: because he is the worst. So this is not a

460
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: surprise to me at all. But this was also why

461
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: I was so concerned even in June Clay of this year,

462
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: when it felt like, all right, we got the vaccines

463
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: are rolling out. They've they've relented on masks a little bit,

464
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: or maybe it was more May, but you know, things

465
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: felt like they were really going in the right direction

466
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: back in May, and I said, no, no no, guys, we're

467
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: not done here, because they will bring back lockdowns and

468
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: mask mandates and all these things, because even though the

469
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: data does not support that this actually work the way

470
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: they send it would, it might have worked, you know,

471
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: two percent or whatever reduction they pretend like it did.

472
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: And this is this is why we keep having this fight.

473
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: This is why we keep going through this. This is

474
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: why also Florida is important because it's a direct example

475
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: proving that all of these masks and all these vaccine

476
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: mandates don't actually work at all. It's all cosmetic. You know,

477
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: there is a case that's starting. We've been talking a

478
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: lot about about judicial cases. Clay, very important case right

479
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: now that has not I've gotten the due attention that

480
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: I think it deserves. Jesse Smolette is actually facing jury

481
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: being selected, jury being selected. I want to I have

482
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: some thoughts on Smolette and the media, and then we

483
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: have more on fouction. We got our friend Alex Barrens

484
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: and enjoining the third hour of the program. His book

485
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: Pandemia out this week, So y'all should get ready. I

486
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: kind of just y'alled there. See I hung out with

487
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: you too much. Now this I mean, that's what we do.

488
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: It's our again. The y'all states are saying, y'all, come

489
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: on down here. We're living normal wives in all of

490
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: these blue states. I'm telling you the moms. I really

491
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: believe this. I think if they try to shut down schools,

492
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: the moms are going to revolt. Buck I'm telling you

493
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: they are, even in New Jersey, even in Connecticut, even

494
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: in New York. Oh. I don't think they'll shut down schools.

495
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll shut down schools. I think they

496
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: know that that's politically too that's politically too much. But

497
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: I think they will do restrictions, indoor restrictions, mass requirements.

498
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: I think that's probably Again, it all depends on what

499
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: the case slow it is too, which will continue to

500
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: follow here. If you're looking to save a little money

501
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: or find a little extra money, maybe worth looking at

502
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: the mortgage of your home. It's true. Look with interest

503
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: rates near historic lows and home values on the rise,

504
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: you can use your home to improve your financial situation.

505
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: The people that can help with this are at American Financing.

506
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm currently going through the process right now. With American Financing,

507

Speaker 1: based mortgage consultant. You can learn about custom loan options

509
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: because there's more to a mortgage refinance than just a

510
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: lower rate. You can take out cash, pay off some

511
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,960

523
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: Buck show. We have a trial underway soon here for

524
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Jesse small At. That's right, everybody, remember remember Jesse small At.

525
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: The trial starts today, jury selection underway. Now. This is

526
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: of course a much less serious issue orders of magnitude,

527
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: less serious than some of the recent trials that have

528
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: gotten media attention. But there's a reason that Clay and

529
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: I want to take a moment to talk to you

530
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: about this one because, oh my, the way that people

531
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: on the left that Democrats get things so wrong over

532
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: and over and don't seem to care it is fascinating.

533
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: It's almost like everybody who is in the corporate Democrat media,

534
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: and certainly all the members of the Democrat Party are

535
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: lawyers for anybody on the left out there. It doesn't

536
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: matter truth, lies, innocence, guilt, whatever, as long as we're

537
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: pushing for our team. I give you as Jesse Smolett

538
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: goes to trial, Remember Jesse Smoilett is a laughable liar

539
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: who faked a hate crime in such absurd fashion that

540
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: people like me and I mean Clay and I weren't

541
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: on the same show together then, but this is a

542
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: few years back. I'm sure Clay was right there too.

543
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: We're just saying, if you believe this, you're just honestly

544
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: not very bright, or you're pretending to believe it because

545
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: it suits the narrative. Kamala Harris, you can pick which

546
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: one is the case, tweeted this out of Jesse Smolette

547
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know.

548
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted

549
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for

550
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: their life because of the sexuality, or color of their sexuality,

551
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: or their color of their skin. We must confront this hate.

552
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: Clay this is the now now Vice President of the

553
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: United States. Then he was a senator. How could anyone

554
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: have heard the story and not said, Okay, so this

555
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: guy wants attention and he's lying. Well, I mean, just

556
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: the idea that very many Trump people knew who Jesse

557
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: small At was. And it's most when this story came out,

558
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know who Jesse small Att was. I didn't

559
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: watch Empire, but I'm way more plugged in than the

560
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: average person would be when it comes to entertainment. Who

561
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: was voting for Trump? The idea not only that you

562
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: would know Jesse small at but that you would know

563
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: him on site, that you would know his sexuality, like

564
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: I've no earthly like hey, hold, all of this was

565
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: so absurdly ridiculous on site at like one am when

566
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: it's superty five degrees outside in Chicago and your hat

567
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: and you happen to find him with your Maga hats

568
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: on or idea, yes this is Maga country. Yeah, and

569
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: walking around in the street with nooses like in your

570
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Maga hat. Yeah. Look, sometimes I would say this for everybody.

571
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: If a story seems too insanely perfect narratively, question it,

572
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: just quite like, be skeptical of initial media reports. I

573
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: was one of the few people into the Jesse Smalllett

574
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: story around the same time. Do you remember Michael Bennett

575
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: when he came out and he was like, I was

576
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: profiled in a Las Vegas casino. He's a football player,

577
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: and everybody in sports covered it. Oh my god, Michael Bennett,

578
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: poor example of racism. And then the videos came out

579
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: and he was running. He was refusing to accept police

580
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: responsibilit Like all these things. If everything in the narrative,

581
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: if you're checking every box so that your side wins

582
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: in a story, oftentimes it's too good to be true,

583
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: meaning it's manufactured and made up. But this is the

584
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: vice president that tweets still up, isn't it? Oh? It is?

585
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: It is indeed. And I just remember I learned a

586
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: less than years ago out media coverage with UH and

587
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, with with the liberal media, the lib media,

588
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: maybe you just called them the Marxist media. That would

589
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: be fun. I would really upset them. Um. But the

590
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: way that they all jumped on the story of the

591
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: the UVA UH you know rape, they rape story that

592
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: was in Rolling Stone magazine. I remember this that I was,

593
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: you know earlier, Michael, would you remember what hear that was?

594
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: It was earlier Miteen's right, So it was much earlier

595
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: in my career. And but I remember my family. It

596
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: came up and I was sitting at a family dinner

597
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: and I had just read the article before dinner because

598
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: it was it was everywhere, right. I remember I looked him,

599
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: I looked up in my family and it said, yeah,

600
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. Yeah, and and im I was

601
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: angry at myself because you know what my thought was

602
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: when I read that story in Rolling Stone, because and

603
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: people said, how did you know the dialogue was absurd.

604
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: It was like something out of some after school special.

605
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: You know, Oh man, this will ruin your reputation. I

606
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: was in college, you were in college. They said that

607
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: a young woman with glass in her back ran like

608
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: like bleeding, ran and through a party shrieking. No one

609
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: called police, No one to the whole thing. No sense.

610
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: But Clay, you know what my thought process was. And

611
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: this reminds me of just a smalltt That's why I'm

612
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: they can't lie that big, right, There must be something

613
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: to this. They couldn't. They would know their credibility would

614
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: be zero if they lied about something so big, so egregiently.

615
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: And how I realized, I mean, I've known this for years.

616
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: Oh no, they'll lie about anything as big as they

617
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: can get away with, and they could care less when

618
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: they're caught. Well, that for me was the Missouri hoax,

619
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: all of the race hoaxes. Yeah, at Missoo, all of

620
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: it was made up. You know. They had a hunger

621
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: striker like but the poop swastika all that, And I

622
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: was skeptical years before that. I hadn't quite been red

623
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: filled yet, but I was skeptical. When the Duke Lacrosse

624
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: story came out the same way you were about the

625
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: UVA case. All of the details in that case didn't

626
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: make sense to me as someone who had covered college

627
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: athletics for a long time. I'm not saying people don't

628
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: high or strippers and throw like crazy parties. That happens,

629
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: but it doesn't happen the way that it was reported

630
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: in Duke Lacrosse. And the Duke Lacrosse case was interesting

631
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: because they took they in that there was at least

632
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: a framework of plausible facts, right, and then the story

633
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: didn't line up. And then of course the guys were

634
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: all innocent. They were charging somebody who was in an

635
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: ATM machine miles away. I mean, the whole thing. And

636
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: we all know Nifong, the prosecutor, there is an evil

637
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: human being and he offers he went he was disbarred.

638
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: The woman, by the way, in that case, the accuser

639
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: went on to murder somebody. They didn't charge her with

640
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: a fake with a you know, essentially a fake report,

641
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: false report. She went on to kill somebody or manslaughter,

642
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: so maybe they should have charged her just as an aside,

643
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: just like you know, they're charging Jesse Smollett right now

644
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: for false report, which is what they should be to

645
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: bring this all full circle. But in the in the

646
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone magazine piece about UVA, it was a complete

647
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: It was a top to bottom fabrication. Yes, it was

648
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: like it was like as Hanau gang rape allegations, which

649
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: got covered like they were real. I mean all of this.

650
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: I would just say in general, be skeptical of everything

651
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: that you read. Be skeptical just in the back of

652
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: your mind, be thinking, wait a minute, is this really true?

653
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: Because so much of it is not. And this is

654
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: why I'm furious about and you. I saw you tweeting

655
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: about it too, and I knew you would be over

656
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: the weekend. The way they're talking about Waukesha. They're writing

657
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: the headlines for Waukesha, for the mass murder, hate crime, slash,

658
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: domestic terror attack in Waukesha. The way they're writing about it,

659
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, a garbage truck came off the

660
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: emergency break and a tragedy ensued. No, a human being

661
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: killed a lot of people and wouldn't come to that.

662
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: In the second hour or two, we got more on

663
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: Fauci as well. Clay. We got a busy day here

664
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: on the show, no doubt. Alex Berenson in the third hour.

665
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: Stay tuned
