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 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Tuesday edition, Clay Travis and 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: us as we roll through what should be a really 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: exhilaratingly fun I hope Tuesday edition of the program, but 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: we begin with breaking news inside of the show. Last week, 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: I tested positive for what we believe is the omicron 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: version of COVID this week, appearing live from his Manhattan 9 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: apartment after testing positive yesterday, buck Sexton, how do you feel. 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm all right, man, I mean people could hear yesterday, 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: and Hi, everybody, people could hear yesterday. My voice was 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: a little off, particularly on the podcast of The Buck 13 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: Sexton Show in the morning. I had to restart it 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: a few times, and then I realized, because let me 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: just tell you, the thought process here at Clay, I 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: think it's instructive. I wake up and I think myself, oh, man, 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: I've got a cold. I think I'm not sure yet, 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: and I go into the office and I'm like, hm, 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: I feel kind of funky. If it wasn't the era 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: of COVID, I would have just been like drink some tea. 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: Man up, You'll be all right, don't cough on anybody. 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: But because it's COVID, of course it hits me as 23 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: I sit down into the show. Oh gosh, I gotta 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: go get a COVID test, don't I? And sure enough 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: it comes back positive right away. And now I'm sitting 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: here in quarantine until Friday. And I gotta tell you 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: the good news for me so far is that having 28 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: had COVID twice, not once, but twice and after being 29 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: forced to get a shot, I've noticed a pattern here, Clay. 30 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: I get the virus, and then the state or in 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: this case, the city of New York, forces me to 32 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: get a shot for that virus after I've had it 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: in a natural immunity. And I think that's probably gonna 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: happen again now now that they've had omicron, they're probably 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: gonna make me get an omicron booster in March. As 36 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: if we're all idiots and can't actually make any decisions 37 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: for ourselves, when did you first have COVID? Because I 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: first had COVID in and November of twenty twenty, I 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: think I had the alpha version of COVID. Then no 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: real issues. I was you know a day maybe that 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: I felt a little bit ikey back in November of 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and then last week I had COVID and 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I mean again, it was 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: a light cold for me. I'm assuming it's the omicron version. 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: Some people out there, like you don't know what the 46 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: official variant you got was because they don't test yet. 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: Right ninety eight or ninety nine percent of people are 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: testing positive for omicron when they actually analyzed this specific variant. 49 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: So given the fact that I already had COVID before, 50 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: I think it's probably omicron. The statistics would be. So 51 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: you had it for the first time whin I had COVID, 52 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: And some of the audience might remember because I was 53 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: off radio for like a few days in March I 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: think of twenty twenty one. So you made it a 55 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: full year year after things broke out the first time. Yeah, 56 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I lasted a year without getting COVID, and 57 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: I was the anti mass spanned it in my building 58 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: and everyone was complaining, and I'm like, well, somehow I'm 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: fine walking around here. And it also reminds me to 60 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: all the times I've had to mask up on planes 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: in recent months. And do all this stupidity. Okay, I 62 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: got sick anyway, So what was that really all about? 63 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: And every I know is getting sick with COVID in 64 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: New York, everybody right now? Yeah, So, and we should 65 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: also mention we've got an event I think at least 66 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: now still scheduled. Ali can let me know if anything's 67 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: changed in Fort Myers. So the other reason you wanted 68 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: to get tested is because I will now that I've 69 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: already gotten through it and I've quarantined and everything else. 70 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: In theory, I'm still going to be at this Fort 71 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: Myers event that we're doing in Florida. But you wanted 72 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: to make sure that if you had COVID, you weren't 73 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: traveling and going to that event, right, So yeah, because 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: it would be right on the edge of what the 75 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: quarantine guidelines are, right, And there's a difference, I think, 76 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: between being out of quarantine and going and shaking hands 77 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: with a few hundred people. So yeah, we wanted it. 78 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: We wanted to be sure before. But it's just amazing 79 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: how much the psychology around all this stuff has changed, 80 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: because I mean, I'm sitting here right, I've been telling 81 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: our friends this feels like like wimpy kron like, it's 82 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: not it's a fraction. Having had both the original, it's 83 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: like reginal. You got COVID a remix. Now you know 84 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: original PEPSI original code. I had the original COVID and 85 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: that was rough. I mean that was really a shock 86 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: to the system for me for a first solid week. 87 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: And now I'm sitting here and I got the the 88 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: I guess the omicron variant, and people keep saying it's milder. 89 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: I would not miss under if we were if this 90 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: were twenty nineteen, Clay and I felt like this, I 91 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: would be in this student. I would not miss a 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: moment of work. I just try to stay away from 93 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: people in close contact because I would think I had 94 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: a cold. That's it. Yeah, it's amazing how society has 95 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: completely fundamentally altered. Cause we do get that question, why 96 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: did you decide to go get tested? And last week 97 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: I got tested. I didn't get tested the first time 98 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: I found out I had COVID officially because of the 99 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 1: and a body test. I did later, but I wanted 100 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: to know for sure whether I had COVID so I 101 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: could talk about it on the radio. And for you, 102 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: we've got an event scheduled this weekend. So you're like, well, 103 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: if I feel like I've got a cold, Given how 104 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: prevalent in New York City the omicron variant has swept 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: through the entirety of New York City, you wanted to 106 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: make sure whether or not you had it too. It 107 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: is kind of crazy that, given the fact that it 108 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: feels like a white cold, if you had had a cold, 109 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: you'd be like, Okay, it's just a cold. I'm not 110 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: positive for omicron and or COVID, and so you would 111 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: just have continued with your life. But now we've created 112 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: this entire world where if you've got COVID, oh my goodness, 113 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: you immediately change your behavior and you're in the apartment 114 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: right now doing your show from there. I'd be so 115 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: curious to see what the actual data would be on 116 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: whether or not omicron is for people who have had 117 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: any string of COVID before. So, if you have some 118 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: natural immunity that you've built up to this type of 119 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: virus in general, whether I mean, how much more or 120 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: less dangerous than the common cold? Is this really? Yeah? 121 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: I mean that honestly. I mean, look, COVID nineteen was 122 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: clearly I mean, it was worse than a common flu, 123 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: was worse than a common cold. Omicron. I mean, for 124 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: a while the data showed nobody was dying from this. 125 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: But what's fascinating is, and I feel like you have 126 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: to look at the data now with a lot of 127 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: skepticism because we know there a lot of people in 128 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: the hospital who aren't supposed to be. I would want 129 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: to know, so are all these people because right now, 130 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the average I think the fourteen day rolling average according 131 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: to the New York Times is about eight eighteen hundred 132 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: deaths a day right now, And so are those all 133 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: omicron deaths or is that from the five or ten 134 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: percent that's still delta that's out there. I mean, you know, 135 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: I feel like we can't know Clay, but I can 136 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: tell everybody right now sitting here doing this show. I'm writing, 137 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: like the middle of it right I'm I'm in the 138 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: peak of omicron, at least I hope that's where I am, 139 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: because it's not that bad. I just feel like there's 140 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: stuff that we don't know yet, or there's stuff that 141 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: isn't reflected in the data. And if we're not willing 142 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: to basically bulldoze through omicron and go back to normal life. 143 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: I feel like we're now all prisoners of respiratory virus 144 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: sees in hysteria for the rest of our lives. That's 145 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: my concern. If this is too scary for people to 146 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: handle and go about normal life. Yeah, sure it gets 147 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: shots if you're at risk, etc. But Clay, if this 148 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: is too scary, everything is too scary. I think that's 149 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: why the integral question going forward has to be how 150 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: does this all end? Because to your point, it's almost 151 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: impossible for omicron based on all the data that we've 152 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: seen so far. I had it, you have it, you 153 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: have it, you have it right now, And so we've 154 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: experienced what we believe is exactly what this virus does 155 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: to your body. And the answer is, for most people, 156 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: it's not very significant in terms of its impact. And 157 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: and that's, by the way, whether you're vaccinated or unvaccinated, 158 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: because one of the usual blue check moves, if you 159 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: were a hardcore blue check buck, you would have said, 160 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: I've got omicron on, but it's not impacting me at 161 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: all because I was vaccinated. Right, But we know that 162 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: you're Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Sorry to laugh, but you're 163 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Legitimately has no protection against omicron, 164 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: and by the way, so does everybody out there's fiser vaccine, 165 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: and so it is a really interesting question of when 166 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: do we get back in some way to some form 167 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: of normalcy. If this variant doesn't do it, I don't 168 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: know what is going to do it for people. So 169 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: as we know, the fourth shot of the COVID vaccine 170 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: has been administered in a clinically significant level and a 171 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: number of people in Israel already and the most recent 172 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: Israeli data. We keep looking at the Israeli data because 173 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: they keep very headless precise numbers, unlike in this country, 174 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: where it's you know, fouci going, I don't know, let's 175 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: take a guess. In Israel, they actually pay attention to 176 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: the numbers very very closely. And even the UK, as 177 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: we've discussed, as better than we are. But the fourth 178 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: shot of the COVID vaccine is not enough to prevent 179 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: widespread omicron infection. Still, so you're still getting you're still 180 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: getting sick. Four shots everybody, and that's not four shots 181 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: of the bootleg Jay and Jay vaccine that I got 182 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: specifically because I knew that this was all a farce 183 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: and I just had to go through the motions or 184 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: else I was going to be barred from everything. I 185 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: couldn't go into an office building. I couldn't. I can't 186 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: do anything in New York without a shot, Clay. It's 187 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: insane what they've done to people here. But now after 188 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: four shots, you're still gonna get sick. That's what the 189 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: Israelis are telling people now. And and you know, to 190 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: Barrenson's point we had them on last week. If they're 191 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: not separating out those who are so old and so 192 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: sick that they can't get the vaccine from those who 193 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: are younger and are choosing to be unvaccinated, that dramatically 194 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: undermines the takeaway of the actual data set of what 195 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: vaccination really means for people in terms of commember and 196 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: all hangs on it. It'll keep you from realization and death. Okay, 197 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 1: but how much how much of that is people? How 198 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: many people under under fifty are going unvaccinated and are 199 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: actually dying from COVID of any kind? Whatsoever? I would 200 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: like to see that data, and how many people are 201 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: the una what percentage of the unvaccinated who die are 202 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: going through cancer treatment and can't get the vaccine or 203 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: you know that's those are the numbers we need to 204 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: have what we're suddenly getting. And we'll play that audio 205 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: for you from Israel about the fourth shot failing in 206 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: when we come back in the next break here in 207 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: a moment. But that's the data that we're starting to get, 208 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: just a pen prick of buck, Like, for instance, in 209 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: New York, Governor Hokel suddenly saw the light of day, 210 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: and we played CNN suddenly Seeing the light of Day 211 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: over this too, and they were saying, wait a minute, 212 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: A lot of people who are hospitalized and testing positive 213 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: for COVID are there for totally unconnected to COVID reasons. 214 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: In other words, if you got into a traffic accident 215 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: and you needed to be hospitalized because of that traffic accident, 216 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: you test positive, you go in to have a baby, 217 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: you test positive, and you're treated as a COVID hospitalization, 218 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: even though you're an ancillary COVID hospitalization because the only 219 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: reason you're there is for another reason. But Buck to 220 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: your point, if you have an awful cancer stage and 221 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: you are near death, and you are in a hospice 222 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: and you test positive for COVID during that process, then 223 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: you are counted as a COVID death. So all of 224 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: these numbers to me seem to be substantially out of whack. 225 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: We'll play that audio for you about the fourth different 226 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine and what it's actually happening in Israel, because 227 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: I do think it's significant. In the meantime.

This is Buck coming to 259 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: you from Quarantine with the omicron variant of COVID nineteen. 260 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: So we will continue to continue a broadcast here this week. 261 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: I will continue to broadcast with Clay. It's fine, he 262 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: already beat his omicron, so he's good to go. But 263 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: here's what they're saying in Israel right now about this, 264 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: they have some updated data on all of it. They 265 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: actually have fourth the fourth shot has been given to 266 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: the fourth keep in mind, not the third or fourth 267 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: over five hundred thousand seniors in Israel. This is CNN 268 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: reporting on at play clip two in Israel. Circle weeks ago, 269 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: they started giving fourth doses to people who are immune compromised, 270 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: to people who are six years of age or older, 271 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: and also to healthcare workers. They said the fourth dose 272 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: did raise antibodies, and maybe there was a slightly lower 273 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: level of infections among those who got the fourth dose. 274 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: They weren't really sure. They also didn't give any data 275 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: as to whether or not getting that fourth dose did 276 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: what we really wanted to do, which is to prevent 277 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: severe disease keep you out of the hospital. Now, if 278 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: this all sounds mushy, it's because it was mushy. The 279 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: Israeli researchers did not give any actual data. They just 280 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: gave descriptions. You can tell Clay that there's a bias 281 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: among scientists now around the world for never wanting to 282 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: admit that what they're doing with COVID isn't working. I 283 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: mean the fact that they can't even prove any clinical 284 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: significance from giving a fourth shot to seniors. In this case, 285 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: it clearly does not stop infection, well does it stop 286 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: infection at all? And I think that you see they 287 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: continue to play games. They're doing this with masks too, 288 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: where they shout you down for saying it's not effective 289 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: even if it's say, ten percent effective at doing what 290 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: they say. Nowhere else in the pharmaceutical industry with this, 291 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: or in the medical industry would this be able to fly? Right? 292 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: If I was giving you an antibiotic for an infection 293 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: when there are other alternatives out there that worked ten 294 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: percent of the time or five percent of the time, 295 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: they'd say, we can't approve this, This is crazy. But 296 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: with the games that the Fauciites play all around the 297 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: world is if it works even a tiny bit, they 298 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: say it works and the rest of us say, well, 299 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: not very well. I think it's the question that I 300 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: would ask everybody out there. Take it outside of COVID, 301 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: because there's so much, so many focused right now on COVID. 302 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: Everybody's lined up to fight, you know, for the vaccine 303 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: or against it. Let's just pretend it something else. If 304 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: you got four shots to keep you from getting polio 305 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: that you say, hey, we've got this polio vaccine for you, 306 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna work phenomenally. Well, you'll get four shots in 307 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: the year, and then you still got polio. Everybody out 308 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: there don't even to consider it COVID. Everybody out there 309 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: be manned. That was a real waste of those four shots. 310 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: Don't miss what is trying to happen here, Buck, which 311 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: is they have shifted the entire reason for the COVID 312 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: vaccine in quotation marks from hey, you won't get it 313 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: and you won't transmit it. It basically ends with you 314 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: to now. Their argument is if you get the COVID 315 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: vaccine potentially three or four shots worth within a year, 316 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: then you won't get really sick or need to go 317 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: to the hospital, when, by the way, the data doesn't 318 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: even reflect that that is necessarily true because the people 319 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: who are going to the hospital, at least where they 320 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: have good data in England are like eighty percent vaccinated. Now, 321 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: so this whole argument, I don't think really holds water. 322 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a function of our failure to have 323 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: good data in the United States and or to share 324 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: it very well. If you want to get the shot 325 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: get it. But this idea that they initially sold us, 326 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: which is this would end COVID, is not true and 327 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: they won't admit it. I mean, there's now obvious stuff 328 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: going on here and they won't say it, which is 329 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: I think a huge tale about where all of this 330 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: is going. I look, I believe that Fauci and the 331 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: rest of them, going into the midterms, the Democrats are 332 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: going to say we're going into a relax summer. They're 333 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: gonna claim victory over the virus this summer. Get ready 334 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: for it, just because they know they have to. And 335 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: then as soon as the midterms are over, if they can, 336 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: they'll start to say, mask up again, peasants, get ready 337 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: for your shots. This is now. The new normal is 338 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: turn on, turn off the faucism. It's not it goes 339 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: away forever. That's what they're trying to angle for, and 340 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: that's what we're going to fight against with everything we can. 341 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: By the way, voting rights as they call it, but 342 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: really is that what the Democrats are into claim are 343 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: going to talk to you about the push to get 344 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: something done in the Senate on this, We'll come back 345 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: to it in a moment.

All right, so we are going 372 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: to spend now several days, potentially the rest of the week, 373 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: engaging in a form of kabuki theater in the Senate, 374 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: where it is quite clear that there are not fifty 375 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: votes to change the filibuster rules, and as a result 376 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: of their not being those votes to change the filibuster rules, 377 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: there is no way to pass this voting rights legislation. 378 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that Democrats are going to go quietly, 379 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: quietly into that good night. They are going to spend 380 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: an entire week while we have all sorts of serious 381 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: issues that are actually taking place on this issue, belaboring 382 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: the point, arguing that our democracy is at stake, and 383 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: their allies in the media are going to continue to 384 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: make that argument too, including CNN. Don Lemon. Here is 385 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: CNN making the case last night to their audience, which 386 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: by the way, they have lost ninety percent of their 387 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: audience since January of twenty twenty one, one year later. 388 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: The ten percent of people that are still listening to 389 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: Don Lemon, this is what he told them. Inevitably, you 390 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: get the politicians, especially the ones in Washington now, who 391 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: are blocking the people's access to the voting booth, and 392 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: they want to use Doctor King Conveniently. They're the biggest 393 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: hypocrites on the planet because if Cinema and Mansion really 394 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: want to honor the legacy of Doctor King and all 395 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: the people who fought for civil rights and voting rights 396 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: in this country, what they do is to a carve 397 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: out for voting rights with the filibuster. That's what they 398 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: would do. But for some reason they are mired in 399 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: tradition and they are stuck with these rules that are backwards. 400 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: And as the former President said that John Lewis's memorial service, 401 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: these are relics of Jim Crowe. The filibuster has been 402 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: used to block civil rights legislation forever, and so we 403 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: need to stop that. We evolved. Just because there is 404 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: a rule doesn't mean that the rule can't change. The 405 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: filibuster is not a relic, just crazy it's just crazy, right, 406 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: I mean, for the filibuster is not a relic of 407 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: Jim Crowe. That's just historically flatly incorrect. So start with that. 408 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: Look here, here's the game. Here's the game. Notice how 409 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 1: they never give us any specifics Clay right, it's always 410 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: they're blocking people from access to the polls, and they're 411 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: trying to connect it to the nineteen sixties, are trying 412 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: to connect it to Jim Crowe before that, and make 413 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: it seem as though there are people standing at the 414 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: polling places, you know, with shotguns over their shoulders saying 415 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, your kind aren't allowed to vote here to 416 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: people I mean saying, you know, the stuff the darkest 417 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: parts of America's passed. That's not what's happening at all. 418 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: That's not the reality of America today. They're never honest 419 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: about what's happening here. They never tell you who is 420 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: not actually allowed to vote and what the problems are. 421 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: They're talking voter ID. I mean, they make people where 422 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: you're not where a show voter ID and in a 423 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: sense now identification to get into restaurants all over New 424 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC. So for health 425 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: reasons ID and a vaccine. Of course they're fine. But 426 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: for our sacred democracy are our elections. That's one part 427 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: of it. But also notice how you can never placate them, 428 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: so they don't tell us what the problem is. But 429 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: even if you were, and this is just the Democrats 430 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: pretending to be pretending to be the great heroes of 431 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: the civil rights movement went as we know, the Democrats 432 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: were the ones in favor of suppressing minority votes, the 433 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: black vote, in favor of segregation, in favor of Jim Crow, 434 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: in favor of slavery, and the Democrat Party has all 435 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: of that in its past. But okay, so Clay, let's 436 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: say they allow thirty days. Just pick a random stay 437 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: thirty days of early voting, and the Democrat formulation. I 438 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: can say, Clay, you know what, the Republicans are blocking 439 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: access to the polls. They're being racist because I want 440 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: forty five days of early voting and it never stops. 441 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: You get forty five, Okay, I want sixty. If you 442 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: don't agree with my sixty days of early voting, it's racist, 443 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: don't you see? This is the game they play. And 444 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: because people don't actually get into the specifics of what 445 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: the rules are. They're never held to account for the 446 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: rhetoric they use, which is all just one big virtue signal. 447 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: Are there people who want to vote that are not 448 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: able to vote? I mean that to me is the 449 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: essence of the question that no one actually asks. And 450 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: I ask that question in a straightforward way because I 451 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: have lived all over the city of Nashville in my life. 452 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: I have lived in majority black voting districts. I mean, 453 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: the heart of inner city Nashville. I live there, no 454 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: issue voting. I now live in suburban Nashville, no issue voting. 455 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: I don't think there are very many people out there 456 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: who say, hey, you know where I think of as 457 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: having the greatest technological capabilities known to man, Tennessee. I'm 458 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: kind of saying that a joking way, but in all honesty, 459 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: who are these people that want to vote that are 460 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: otherwise being not allowed to vote? I just I don't 461 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: ever hear anybody say, Hey, I was going to go vote, 462 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: but there's some issue that kept me from voting, other 463 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: than I just chose not to do it. I mean 464 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: voting to me, Buck, you tell me if you disagree 465 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,959 Speaker 1: in your experience in New York voting is really simple. 466 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, whether you want to do it early, which 467 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: I have done a ton of times. Early voting goes 468 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: on forever. Here in my state of Tennessee is a 469 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: red state, it is easy to go early vote, or 470 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: whether I want to vote on election day, which I 471 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: also have done. And truth be told, I like voting 472 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: on election day the past few elections just because there's 473 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: something that feels quintessentially American and democratic to me about 474 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: being able to vote on actual election day. That's what 475 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: I did on twenty twenty. That's what I did, I 476 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: believe on twenty sixteen. But I've also voted early in 477 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: my life. I I want to know who are these 478 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: people that have a great deal of interest in voting 479 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: that are right now unable to vote. I get the 480 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: sense that those people basically don't exist. You could also 481 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 1: take the argument in a similar direction to what I 482 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: have done with people on the left to prove the 483 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: absurdity of so many of their claims on illegal immigration. 484 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll always ask them, okay, who what's too 485 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: many when it comes to legal immigration and who doesn't 486 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: get to stay? I mean, be really specific about it, right, 487 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: And if you agree that we should have im ration laws. 488 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: Who is going to be deported? Because if you don't 489 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: deport people, then you don't have immigration laws. There's no 490 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: penalty for the breaking of those laws. When you ask 491 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: a LIB what voter integrity protections do you support, the 492 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: answer is none, then maybe they'll come up with one 493 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: if they think long and hard about it. But getting 494 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: people that move out of a district clay or even 495 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: purging dead people from voter rolls, well, that sounds problematic. 496 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: That sounds like something that the racist GOP would do. 497 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: Idea at the polls. Oh, that's not only allowing voting 498 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: to go up to voting day and not election day 499 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: and not afterwards. Oh, that sounds that sounds like racist 500 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: GOP stuff to me. You'll notice everything that we could 501 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: possibly do, signature match, everything you could do to make sure, 502 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: as we've seen, elections can be very very close, very 503 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: very tight, thousands of votes separating victory from defeat for 504 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: presidential election, never mind a congressional or statewide election, and 505 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: they oppose it at every turn, And because they've created 506 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: this sense in there, that they created this phantom in 507 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: their minds that there's tremendous voter suppression and even when 508 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: the data doesn't bear it out, when that shows that 509 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: you have all time minority turnout in a state after 510 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: sometimes they'll pass voter integrity protections in that state. I mean, 511 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: the voter ID clay is supported by huge majorities the 512 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: America's not even close huge majority of the American people 513 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: when they're asked about this, But Chuck Schumer acts like 514 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: voter ID who says that it's like a return to 515 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: the era of Jim Crow. I mean, you hear the 516 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: rhetoric they use, and you understand how these people are 517 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: such psychos about COVID, because they're just psychos about politics 518 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: in general. Well, and to your point, as soon as 519 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: you're demanding that I show an ID to be able 520 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: to eat at McDonald's, I'm sorry. Being able to require 521 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: an ID to vote doesn't seem like a bridge too 522 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: far right if you ask the average person out there, 523 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: and you're correct, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic people overwhelmingly support 524 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: the idea of voter ID laws. But if you ask 525 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: the average person out there, hey, which seems more legitimate, 526 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: Show your ID in order to vote, or show an 527 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: ID in order to get a big mac at a 528 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: McDonald's to prove that you have been vaccinated. I think 529 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: most people would say, hey, id AT voting seems like 530 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: a more legitimate policy to follow than id in order 531 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: to get a chicken McNuggets. By the way, you don't 532 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: just cast your votes once a year or once every 533 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: other year. You vote every single month when you're paying 534 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: your bills and spending your money with companies you have 535 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: deals with. Consider your cell phone provider and the bill 536 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: you're paying each month, your money supports the candidates they 537 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: choose to support. How disappointed would you be to learn 538 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: that candidates are left leaning pushing left at agendas. But 539 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: there's a solution, and it's Pure Talk. Get your cell 540 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: phone service from pure Talk.

We will be talking a bit more today 559 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: about what the Democrat plan is here for the filibuster, 560 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: as well as which, by the way, the filibuster is 561 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: not going to change. Why are the Democrat doing all this? 562 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: As well as Clay that that billionaire that we talked 563 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: about yesterday, the part owner of the gold the Yeah, 564 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, he's in the midst of quite a 565 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: walk back. Turns out. Saying nobody cares about the genocide 566 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: of human beings in Western China is not a popular 567 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: thing to say in general, and particularly unpopular among the 568 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: very uh you know, international focused woke left wingers that 569 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure this guy was trying to impress with his 570 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: supposedly you know, knowledgeable commentary on global affairs, which obviously 571 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: everyone said, Wait a second, no one cares about genocide. 572 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: You gotta be you're you're out of your mind. Have 573 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: you ever heard of this guy before? By the way, 574 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: I had a little bit Chamath. I think he's at 575 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: Chamath on Twitter if I'm not mistaken. But first of all, 576 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: he's donated six figures to Joe Biden, so he's a huge, 577 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: huge league obvious of course, huge left wing donor. And 578 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: for people out there who missed this, he's a minority owner. 579 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 1: I think he owns like ten percent of the of 580 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, so it's not as if he's 581 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: the managing owner of the By the way, they don't 582 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: even use the word owner anymore. You knew this, right buck. 583 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: They said the word owner was too offensive. This is 584 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: one hundred percent true in the NBA because of its 585 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: connotations to slavery, and so they refer that this is 586 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: one hundred percent true. I'm not making this up. You. 587 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: They refer to all owners in the NBA now as governors, 588 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: so you are a team governor as opposed to a 589 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: team owner, to avoid the offensive word owner. And that's amazing. 590 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: You know that. Now, when you're getting a tour of 591 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: an apartment in any city in America, it is likely 592 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: that they will tell you it is no longer a 593 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: master bedroom. It's called the primary bedroom because master bedroom 594 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: was offensive as well. I mean, this is you know, 595 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: we look at the language changes and it can seem 596 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: kind of agree by the way, now offensive too, that's 597 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: a good that's a good question. I don't know, you know, 598 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: I mean master overall that we just have to write 599 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: it out of existence. You know, there's that big what 600 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: is it on YouTube? But it's called master class, I 601 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: think where you can learn learn how to be a DJ, 602 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: or learn how to be a world class chef. World 603 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: class chef, by the way, pro tick. You can't actually 604 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: learn how to be a world class chef through the 605 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: master class. But anyway, yeah, they're always gonna it's about 606 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: the power to change language more than it is to 607 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: make changes that will actually be consistent. Right. So it's oh, 608 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: by the way, a perfect example of this. Senator Rand 609 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: Paul has been banned from YouTube for say or I 610 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: should say suspended, I mean band suspend it. It's tough 611 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: to keep up, but he's been kicked off of YouTube 612 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: in the past, and now I believe he's been kicked 613 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: off again for saying cloth masks don't work. What's fascinating 614 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: is that now you actually are seeing the double stand 615 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: unfold in real time. You are not allowed to say 616 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: in big tech world that cloth masks are ineffective or 617 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: don't work against omacron. You were only allowed to say, 618 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: if you are a Democrat and in service of faucism, 619 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: cloth masks don't work. Comma, therefore we need and ninety 620 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: five masks or even clay. You just told me this one. 621 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: What's the latest from the geniuses of our educational establishment 622 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: for kids in masking? Yeah, it's crazy, buck, They so. 623 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: A lot of educators out there have been saying for 624 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: a long time that kids learn by seeing adults move 625 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: their lips, particularly when it comes to annunciation, when it 626 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: comes to learning how to read. The CDC now is saying, oh, 627 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: by the way, after two years of requiring kids to 628 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: wear you know, normal mask. However you want to classify 629 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: a normal mask, it may actually make sense for young 630 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: kids to wear clear masks because they are learning how 631 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: to read and or learning a new language, and for 632 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: young children seeing the lips of their instructor and of 633 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: their classmates. It makes total sense. I'm not an expert 634 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: in language, but covering up the face does not allow 635 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: them to learn how to read, and so their ability 636 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: to read or learn a new language is curtailed. So 637 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: if you are a young kid who is an immigrant 638 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: and you are trying to learn English, being able to 639 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: watch your teacher have her mouth move or his mouth 640 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: move is wildly important. If you are a young child 641 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: being taught to read a nunciation consonants, you can see 642 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: the way the lips move is a huge part of 643 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: learning that the CDC after two years, Buck is suddenly saying, oh, yeah, 644 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: there's probably some truth to that. We need clear mask 645 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: like masks so you can actually see the mouth on 646 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: the other side in order to avoid inhibiting learning. This 647 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: is all madness, but basically that's acknowledging now two years 648 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: of further learning deficit for children that have been attending 649 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 1: masked schools with mass teachers. It's amazing, isn't it that 650 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: they never stop to think for a second? Wait? Wait, 651 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: hold on, why don't we do a randomized control or 652 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: randomized control trial of in the same city, the same place, 653 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: so we can't have Oh, but that's because of population dens. Here, Oh, 654 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: that's because of compliance. Let's have some schools with masks, 655 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: some schools without masks, and really be serious and honest 656 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: about whether there's any And by the way, it's not 657 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: enough to say it's inconclusive, because if it's inconclusive from 658 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: the data, that means stop doing the annoying lunacy that 659 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: you're forcing people to do. They should have to prove 660 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: the benefits of these things. Instead, we're in this opposite 661 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,919 Speaker 1: land of unless we can prove beyond any reasonable doubt 662 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: there is no efficacy from these things, we have to 663 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: keep doing them. This is where the mental illness situation, 664 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: mass mental illness really comes in.
