We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: Gonna get to some big news for buck Sexton to 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: here in a moment, but we have got a lot 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: to discuss. Joe Biden's approval rating hits thirty three percent 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: in the New York Times poll. If it's at thirty 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: three percent in the New York Times poll, which is 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: effectively an all time low, I believe for Biden. What 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: is it in reality? Sixty four percent of Democrats of 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: Democrats in that same poll just came out this morning, 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: don't want Joe Biden to run. The first two COVID 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: shots are only five percent effective at keeping you from 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: getting COVID. Remember when they told you last year at 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: this time, if you get the COVID shot, you will 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: neither get nor spread COVID record scratch, Actually ninety sent 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: chance that you still will get COVID. They're only five 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: percent effective at protecting you. Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon. He 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: is a patron saint of those of us who have 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: refused to get the COVID shot, but he is not 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: eligible for the US Open or able to enter the country. 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,639 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris even can't talk about abortion. Twitter and Elon 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: Musk so much to get to new gengers going to 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: join US at one thirty.

Congratulations, Buck, I believe based on the photo 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: that I saw you did it from? Is that your 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: apartment building in New York City that I have seen 29 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: amazing view up there? What was it like to actually, 30 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: you've never proposed before. Nope, you are a forty year 31 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: old man who has never been engaged, never married. What 32 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: was the experience like? And how quickly has the wedding 33 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: app paratus shifted into full speed? Because I'll tell you 34 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: when I got engaged many years ago, the thing that 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: most stunned me about it was how much knowledge women 36 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: all carry in their head about weddings that I had 37 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: never given a thought to. How quickly that process was 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: underway soon after I got engaged. Give you a couple 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: of things, and then I promised, we'll talk about the 40 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: news for everybody. People. People want to hear about yes, 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: they do. So. Uh. The one thing I will say 42 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: is pretty pretty funny. But she had absolutely no idea. 43 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: So I had met with her dad because I went 44 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: asked for the hand. I went down to Asheville, where 45 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: her family has a home. Yes, and obviously Asheville was 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: a memorable experience for many reasons. And I asked for 47 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: her hand from her father. How did you do that? 48 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: By the way, how did you end up isoed where 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: you asked him to take me to see a piece 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: of property that they were thinking about. Smart? So we 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: kind of went like a walk in the woods. Yeah, 52 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And so I asked for the hand. 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: And then the plan was to just find a perfect 54 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: sunset on the rooftop when nobody nobody would be up there. Yeah, 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: and uh and I and I went up there. She 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: had no idea. So I went down. It was Saturday night. 57 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Is this Saturday after Saturday night? Saturday night? Yeah, it 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: was really nice. I actually saw two listeners who were 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: visiting New York City from Chicago on our way to 60 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: the restaurant, and they're like, hey, Buck, and I was like, 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: I just got engaged, Like we listened all the times. 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: That was great. We had some visitors from she saw 63 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: the picture go out on social media too. You texted 64 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: Ali who also, by the way, we should mention engaged 65 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: like last week too. I know love is in the 66 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: air on the Clay and Buck Show. Yeah, there's producer 67 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: Ali is engaged a couple of weeks ago. I'm engaged now. 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: So as for the wedding stuff, I will tell you 69 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: man that our basic approach to this and and then 70 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: we had to start trashing Joe Biden. Our basic approach 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: to this is We're gonna try to throw a big, 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: fun engagement part at New York City for everybody. You'll 73 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: be invited, the team, you know, we'll just we just 74 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: want to throw a big party in New York and 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: then we're gonna have a immediate family and you know, 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: best man best not best one what do you call it, 77 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: and brought made of honor or whatever. Yeah, but like 78 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: just very small um at a church super rather than later, 79 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: Like what's the time frame, Like get it done in 80 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: the next six months, which is the next six months? 81 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean, because this is my understanding and I'm sure 82 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there listening know this. This 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: is the busiest year for weddings on record. I believe 84 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: I actually was down when I was at Rosemary Beach 85 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: one of the times Buck. I was working out in 86 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: the gym and the guy next to me was a 87 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: big fan and he owned wedding venues all over the 88 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: country West Coast primarily, and he was talking. So I 89 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: was working out there in the in the gym. I 90 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: was just sided him for fifteen or twenty minutes on 91 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: the machine and uh, and he was talking about how 92 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: busy all of it is every day of the week. Basically, 93 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: people are getting married now because so many people couldn't 94 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty twenty twenty one because of COVID, and 95 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two is supposedly the biggest wedding year ever. 96 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: So this is this is stressing me out a little bit. Now, Yeah, 97 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, I'll have to figure all this stuff out, 98 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, we can get married. So there we go fast. 99 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: So let's go. Well, congratulations. The pictures are up on 100 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: social media.

You can also go see the pictures 114 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: on his Instagram, and I think also on Twitter, and 115 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: again I think we'll get him up at Clay and 116 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: Buck dot com. But all that fantastic. The opposite of 117 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: fantastic is Joe Biden's presidency right now. That's what you 118 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 1: call a transition in the business. And Buck thirty three 119 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: percent approval in the New York Times poll. This is 120 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: the lowest Joe Biden approval rate that I have seen anywhere. 121 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: And we know the New York Times is not exactly 122 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: predisposed to favor Republican leaning politicians or anything. If anything, 123 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: this is biased. Still in Biden's favor but sixty four 124 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: percent of Democrats and you and I were texting over 125 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: the weekend Sunday front page New York Times. Essentially that article, 126 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: which was devastating to Joe Biden, argues that he doesn't 127 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: have the capability to be president. There were a bunch 128 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: of different details, but one of them was, Hey, we're 129 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: initially planning to go from Europe to the Middle East 130 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: and be on the road for ten days, and we 131 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: didn't think he could do it, so we went all 132 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: the way back across the Atlantic. Now they're coming back 133 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: to the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Israel, buck that combo. 134 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: And the reason why it's important to me is when 135 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: they published that article on Sunday, they knew they were 136 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: going to double barrel him, for lack of a better 137 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: way to phrase it, on Monday with this poll and 138 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: otherwise other words, all of the editors had this in planning, 139 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: and it seemed like Sunday and now Monday, they are 140 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: the media now trying to make it so that Joe 141 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: Biden is unable to run for reelection in twenty four 142 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: That was my read. You agreed, disagree? How would you 143 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: assess these combo stories front page from the New York 144 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: Times and their significance. So he's the oldest president in 145 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: American history, which was actually written in the New York Times. 146 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: It's interesting, not because we didn't know that. Obviously, the 147 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: president's age has been public all along, but you don't 148 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: hear them ever say it in that way. This is 149 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: literally the oldest president we have ever had in the 150 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: history of the republic. And he's telling us he wants 151 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: six more years. Everybody, Okay, six more years is what 152 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: he is saying he wants right now. This is completely 153 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: outrageous and unacceptable, I think Clay because I was I 154 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: was looking at the parts of the New York Times 155 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: piece that really stuck out to me. First of all, 156 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: they do this thing, which is the classic, well behind 157 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: closed doors, he's sharpest attacked, and he's correcting where our 158 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: commas are misplaced in speeches, and yeah, out in public 159 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: gets a little more a touch and go. I think 160 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats have real and they said things like they're 161 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: limiting his schedule. He basically isn't available at night. They 162 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: don't let anyone see him from the press on the weekends. 163 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, this is the retired and out of 164 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: public life presidency for a guy who shouldn't have been 165 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: in charge in the first place, even when he was 166 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: in a good state of mental health. I mean, I 167 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: didn't think Joe Biden was unimpressive even before he was 168 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: in cognitive decline. But he's operating this kind of quasi 169 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: retired presidency right now, which is obviously not what we want. 170 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: Here's where I think we're heading, though. They talked about 171 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: fear of him having a sundowner moment right of sundowning, 172 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: where if you have Alzheimer's or dementia, you can from 173 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: the late afternoon into the late into the evening or 174 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: at night really just be completely not of sound mind. 175 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you can basically be speaking in gibberish. I 176 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: think the people around him are realizing, with all the 177 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: stage managing they're doing and all their word, he's gonna trip. 178 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: They see that he's shuffling. This is from the New 179 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: York Times, and this is the people that are with 180 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: him all day long. Folks. Okay, they're trying to set 181 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: us up for the possibility here we may have a 182 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: president who goes full on gibberish speaking cognitive decline in 183 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: public in one incident that is irretrievable. We may have 184 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden breakdown out of the next year or sooner 185 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: and just starts spewing total nonsense. They keep saying, it's 186 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: a stutter. It's not a stutter, folks. I saw Biden 187 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: speech just twenty years ago. It's not that he is. 188 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: It's not that he has some childhood. That's a total 189 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: that's total malarkey. Okay, Clay. I think I think we 190 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: may have a real moment of crisis where it is 191 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: clear that the President of the United States in office 192 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: starts starts spewing true nonsense. I mean, starts essentially speaking 193 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: in gibberish, and we realize that the twenty fifth Amendment 194 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: actually has to be used. I think that's what people 195 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: around him are realizing. The data in here is pretty 196 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: challenging for him, right the number of and I'll just 197 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: kind of hit you with in this article in New 198 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: York Times, Joe Biden has only given thirty eight interviews 199 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: so far in his presidency. Trump did, and remember they 200 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: were always talking about Trump in the twenty fifth Amendment. 201 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: At the same period in time, Trump had done a 202 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: d and sixteen interviews. Barack Obama had done a hundred 203 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: and ninety eight, and so you look at the last 204 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: couple of presidents and then I thought this was I mean, 205 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: the data points on what exactly is going on there 206 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: are pretty pretty crippling to Joe Biden. To combine this 207 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: with and Buck the other number that's crazy about this 208 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: poll that they did that they released on the front 209 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: page of New York Times today, ninety four percent of 210 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: those under the age of thirty five do not want 211 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden to run for president. Again, these are Democrats, 212 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: sixty four percent of Democrats overall, ninety four percent of 213 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: those thirty five. And in this New York Times piece 214 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: from Sunday, Buck it says, basically the Harvard Harris poll 215 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: about the number of people that don't want him to run, 216 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: sixty percent of those sixty five and older do not 217 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: want him to run. So, look, this is a universal 218 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: belief that I think when you look at that press conference, 219 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: the awful one that he had. I guess it was 220 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: on Friday, right that we played some of the cuts 221 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: from where he reads in quote repeat the line, there 222 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: is right now an overwhelming certainty whether you're a Democrat, Republican, 223 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: or independent that Joe Biden is not in a good 224 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: place mentally, and Buck, thirty more months. As we've been 225 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: talking about on this show for a long time, look 226 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: at what the presidency did to Barack Obama, look at 227 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: what it did to Certainly, when you look at the 228 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: before and after pictures of George W. Bush, this guy 229 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: has got thirty more months minimum of being president. And 230 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: to your point, he's asking for four years on top 231 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: of the two and a half years that he already 232 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: has remaining. It is not conceivable to me that this 233 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: is possible. I mean, the Democrats were so dishonest and 234 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: so desperate to have somebody who could, in a pandemic year, 235 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: defeat Donald Trump that they have put a command ender 236 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: in chief in place who we can all see is 237 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: one bad day away from saying crazy stuff on live 238 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: television and drooling all over himself. One day, he couldn't 239 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: do an hour interview with us, Buck, I mean, I've 240 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: used this example before, but you and I went down 241 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: to Marrow Lago. Trump had no handlers. He set across 242 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: the table from us, and he talked to us for 243 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: a full hour. They said all the time, Trump couldn't 244 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: be president because of the twenty fifth Amendment. If you 245 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: and I got invited, we never would. But if they said, hey, 246 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: we want you guys to come to the White House, 247 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: we want you to do an hour interview with Joe 248 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: Biden Buck, I legitimately believe that after one hour talking 249 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: to us, he would no longer be able to be 250 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: President of the United States. I think it would go 251 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: so poorly for Joe Biden just trying to answer our 252 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: questions without prescripting, without pre knowledge of what we were 253 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: going to ask, that I believe that he would have 254 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: to that he would have to step down one hour 255 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: with us. The good news for the republic play is 256 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: that they founding fathers foresaw a possibility where someone may 257 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: have to step in a vice president. Even the bad 258 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: news is that we know who the vice president is, 259 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: right and we'll come back with If you haven't heard 260 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: this one, folks, one of the best commala moments of 261 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: all time. It's coming up in a second. Verizon at 262 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: and T and T Mobile are continue to charge you 263 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: a premium fee every month for data that you're not 264 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: even using. So instead of paying something close to one 265 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month to your current provider, get Talk 266 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: text and data for just thirty dollars a month with 267 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: pure Talk. I made the switch to pure Talk. My 268 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: primary phone I means an all the time, talking to family, 269 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: doing all my work on it is a pure Talk phone. Now. 270 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: The five G service is every bit as good as 271 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: the carrier had before. The data speed, access to internet, 272 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: quality of phone calls all the same, My cell phone 273 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: number and phone the same. The only thing that's different 274 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: is the monthly bill. Saving close to seventy dollars a 275 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: month is pretty sweet, my friends. So look, if you've 276 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: been sitting on the sidelines knowing pure Talk is out there, 277 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: I can tell you worth doing, and it's worth doing. 278 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: Now if you're ready and you should be switched to 279 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: pure Talk, you'll get a month free.

Pure Talk is simply smarter. 287 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: Why welcome back to Clay and Buck, and we know 288 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: that the founders set up our system so that if 289 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: for reasons of health or impropriety, or some other possibilities 290 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: we don't like to even think about, but that you 291 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: need to have a vice president ready to go right 292 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: so for continuity of government. So we are having a 293 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: serious discussion here, an honest discussion about the clear lack 294 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: of cognitive capability and energy as well just day to 295 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: day energy from the current occupant of the Oval Office, 296 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Kamala Harris stands ready to step in at 297 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: a moment's notice. That is the system we have, and 298 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: here is your vice president. When you look back, did 299 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: Democrats fail past Democratic presidents congressional leaders to not codify 300 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade over the past five decades? I think that, 301 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: to be very honest with you, I do believe that 302 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: we should have rightly believed. But we certainly believe that 303 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: certainishes are just settled, certain issues are just settled. Clearly 304 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: we're not. No, that's right, and that's why I do 305 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,119 Speaker 1: believe that we are living sadly in real unsettled tons. 306 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: I mean, can we just I believe that we should 307 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: have rightly believed that we believe that certain issues are settled, 308 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: but now we believe we're unsettled. What does that mean? Buck? 309 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: It's a Roe v. Wade question. In a sit down interview, 310 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: you know that you're going to get asked this question. 311 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: This is like you and I doing an interview in 312 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: them saying, Hey, what's it like to be on the 313 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: radio every day for three hours? This is not a 314 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: surprise gotcha question. If they had quizzed her about the 315 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: value of the bolivar relative to the dollar, I can 316 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: see maybe where you have to have some filibustering there, 317 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: because you can't be an expert on everything. You know 318 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: this question's coming. She's an imbecile, and that's what makes 319 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: it all the more scary about the position that Joe 320 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: Biden is in. Remember back in the days when we 321 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 1: thought they wanted to make her the president. No, this 322 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: is why the panic isn't the sudden realization Biden's on 323 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,239 Speaker 1: up to this. It's the obviousness of it to the 324 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: electorate that the Democrats are freaking out about and their 325 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: Plan B situation here. Their next option is a vice 326 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: president who they know cannot be the party standard bearer. 327 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: That's why they're panicking, and we know that things are 328 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: only going to get worse for Biden. I mean from here, 329 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: every single day's worse. Look, we talk about mortgage refinancing 330 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: a lot on the show because it's something that Klein 331 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: I both see value in. I just went through a 332 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: mortgage refinance recently with American Financing.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck 353 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: Sexton show Buck over the weekend. I believe you actually 354 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: watched a sporting event Novak Djokovic one Wimbledon, and he 355 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: is one of the guys alongside of Kyrie Irving in 356 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: the NBA, Aaron Rodgers in the NFL, who has been 357 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: willing to discuss the fact that he did not get 358 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: the COVID shot, and I have stopped calling it the 359 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine because it's not a vaccine. Data has come 360 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: out recently and it's only continuing to get worse from here. 361 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,239 Speaker 1: We hired Ian Miller at ian MSc. We've had him 362 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: on the show a couple of times. He has a 363 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: great job looking at the data. He has an article 364 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: up at OutKick right now. The first two COVID shots, 365 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: the Maderna or the Fiser shots that many of you 366 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: they have been forced to get at work you may 367 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: have gotten because a year ago you believed what the 368 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: government was telling you. They are now five percent effective 369 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: at keeping you from getting COVID. The third booster is 370 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: only twenty percent effective. These numbers would never have gotten 371 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: these shots approved by the FDA, which wants it to 372 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: be over fifty percent efficacy to call it a vaccine. 373 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: So I want to play this audio for you, Buck. 374 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: You and I have been talking about how they're ramping 375 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: up the COVID fear porn as I have called it 376 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: for some time as we move into the fall. And 377 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: Djokovic was asked, he's not allowed to come into the country. 378 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: We still have a restriction for foreign visitors who have 379 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: not gotten the shot. You are not eligible to come 380 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: into the country evidently, and so Djokovic will not be 381 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: able to actually play at the US Open, And he 382 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: was asked about that decision. He wasn't able to go 383 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: to the Australian Open. And I think we talked a 384 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: lot about athletes being brave and taking risks and being outspoken. 385 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: It's funny how Djokovic is not a hero because he's 386 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: saying something that the left wing in the country is 387 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: upset about. When it comes to the COVID shot, but 388 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to him here and then, Buck, 389 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: I'm curious what you think, as a big tennis fan 390 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: about the idea that the US Open, which is in 391 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: your home state basically of New York, would not have 392 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: the best tennis player in the world arguably able to 393 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: compete over this ridiculousness. Listen to the vaccinated, and I'm 394 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: not planning to get vaccinated, So the only good news 395 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: I can have is them removing the mandates mandated green 396 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: vaccine cargo whatever you call it, to enter United States 397 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: or exemption. It's yeah, I don't know what. I don't 398 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: think the exemption is realistically possible, or if that is possibility, 399 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: I don't know what exemption would be about. So I 400 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: don't know that I don't have much chances there. I 401 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: think it's just whether or not they remove this in 402 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: time for me to get to your say what do 403 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: you think about this? I mean a lot of you, 404 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: by the way, when I shared this story on social media, 405 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: said he should just come up through the southern border. 406 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: They're letting everybody across there and they're not mandating that 407 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: those people have COVID shots in order to enter our country, 408 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: which is true, and it's sad, and it's ridiculous, and 409 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: it's obviously satire, But I feel like maybe his best 410 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: route to the US open is just to go down 411 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: to Mexico and walk right across the border instead of flying. 412 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: In the fact that there are so many people that 413 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: are still willing to go along with this, I think 414 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: is part of what you and I have talked about 415 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: a bit and will continue to talk about out here, 416 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: which is there is a mental health breakdown that has 417 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: occurred in this nation and around the world because not 418 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: of COVID per se, but the way COVID was handled 419 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: and the response to COVID, Because if it had really 420 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: just been about the data, if it had really been 421 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: about what was truly at a risk for individuals, this 422 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 1: would have been something that was of high concern for 423 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: senior citizens effectively, and everybody else would have largely just said, look, 424 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 1: i might get sick, maybe I'm one of the very 425 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: unlucky who's at low risk who will have a really 426 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: bad outcome, But I'm just going to live my life, 427 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: and I'm just going to live my life. Should have 428 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: been everyone's attitude, more or less starting in the summer 429 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, and that there are so many people 430 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: that are still willing to do this to this day, 431 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: I think just shows you this is about power now, 432 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: and this is about people who want an affirmation that 433 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: they were on the right side of history when they 434 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: were on the wrong side of history. Yeah, this is 435 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: Novak Djokovic is a big thumb in the eye of 436 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: the establishment. I mean I really believe this, by the way, 437 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: I mean you may have seen I tweeted about this 438 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: over the weekend. Until people in this country see Fauci 439 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: as the moral and policy equivalent of a biosecurity war criminal, 440 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: we have not actually looked at the full scope of 441 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: what was done to in this country, of people who 442 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: were told they weren't able to hug their dying relatives, 443 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: of people whose businesses were destroyed, of people who were 444 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: fired from decades of military service for not getting a 445 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: vaccine that if they looked at the data now, would 446 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: the first vaccine even really be approved. You have to 447 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: wonder about this now, it would you know, with the 448 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: very first at five percent effectiveness, there is a zero 449 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: percent chance that this thing would get approved. But I 450 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: worried Clay and on one Part. One thing that kept 451 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: coming in my mind over the weekend is I've you read? 452 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: I think I told you I read Unbroken recently. You know, 453 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: the book Unbroken, unfortunately made into a bad movie by 454 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie, but a very good book about Zamparini, who 455 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: was this trash, unbelievable Louis zam pretty. It's an amazing 456 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: book for anybody. I haven't read it, I highly recommend. 457 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: But it's fascinating because the Japanese treatment of prisoners of war. First, 458 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: the Japanese treatment of the Chinese was on a same 459 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: plane of moral atrocity as anything else that occurred in 460 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: World War Two. Murdered and raped millions of people, It 461 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 1: was absolutely horrific. But the Japanese, the Japanese treatment of 462 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: American prisoners of war were true war crimes, right of 463 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: the worst kind. And initially when Japan surrendered, there was 464 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: this sense of they need to you know, we're gonna 465 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: hunt down the war criminals and hold them. But then 466 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: there was a movement within Japan, including somebody who later 467 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: on who was initially thought of as a war criminals. 468 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: Later the Prime Minister of Japan of hey, we need 469 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: to forget oh yeah, we did some bad stuff. Everybody 470 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: does some bad stuff, but you know, we need to 471 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: move on to other thinking. And there was a whole 472 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: internally it didn't want to spend time thinking about this, 473 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: didn't want to spend time, And I worried that there's 474 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: something like that with the COVID lockdowns and then the 475 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: mask mandates and the vaccination mandates going on now, where 476 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: people just are deciding we can't even handle the reality 477 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: of how stupid and oppressive this was. I'm not saying 478 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: it was as bad as the treatment of POWs, but 479 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is the there's a unwillingness to 480 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: grapple with what we have done, the same way that 481 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: they were unwilling to grapple with the atrocities they committed 482 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: in Japan. I think there are a lot of Look, 483 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say a lot of leftists in this 484 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: country who are just pretending like they were right all 485 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: along here or they just don't want to talk about 486 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: it because they did tremendous damage to people and they're 487 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: still doing it. I mean, I've got to pull up 488 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: right now. You guys can go vote at Clay Travis, 489 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: do you believe that Djokovic should be able to play 490 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: in the US Open, simple question. Should he be able 491 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: to enter the country and play in the US Open. 492 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: You went to the US Open last year, if I 493 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: remember correctly, Buck, I'm gonna go again this year. Yeah, 494 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: isn't it crazy that joke of which would not be 495 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: able to play? Right? But so that the bureaucracy of 496 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: the USTA is super left wing, no surprise to you 497 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: as a sports guy. I know that from people who 498 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: have been coaches and who have played some of the 499 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, satellite tournaments, et cetera. Super left wing bureaucracy, 500 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: and tennis is popular. It's more popular probably in this 501 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: country with Democrats than it is with Republicans. As a 502 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: spectator sport, I'm just a few sports like that. Yeah, 503 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm just guessing tennis is one of them. So this 504 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: is why they're very they know they're they have they 505 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: had very you know, very clear policies about vaccine mandates. 506 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people I saw I 507 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: went outdoors to the US Open last year. People were 508 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: masked outside. There was a lot of that going on. 509 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: You had to show your COVID shots to be able 510 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: to get in. Are theoretically right. I mean, there was 511 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: a pretty quick glance, but they were shouting and everybody 512 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: to show their their vaccine cards. Um. I really do 513 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: think that there are a lot of people, you know, 514 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: and for people say well, how bad is it? Economists 515 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: this past weekend had a big story. You know what. 516 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: It was the global learning loss that has occurred that 517 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: will result in not just developmental delay, but likely a 518 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: developmental gap, particularly in poorer countries, and the poorer people 519 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: in those countries. They will never get to the level 520 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: of literacy and basic academic capability, basic understanding of complex 521 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: systems that they would learn in school. They will never 522 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: get there, and they'll never really even be able to 523 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: calculate how bad this damage is. But now the Democrats 524 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: and the people that push this stuff and the bureaucracy 525 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: is turning around saying, well, nobody could have known. That 526 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: is a lie. They're lying to you. I mean the 527 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: scope of I mean, you know, you and I talk 528 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: about this here. I think there needs to be more 529 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: conservative media focus on this. The devastation and the to 530 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: the brink of totalitarianism that we suffer through because of 531 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: COVID is not something that we should just let pass, 532 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: and especially as we're going into an election here, I 533 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: want to read a tweet for you that will perficly 534 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: crystallize this from Randy Weingarten. She just sent it out, 535 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: which I will hit you with when we come back 536 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: in the next segment. This should be the single issue 537 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: that motivates every single person. Do you believe that the 538 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 1: Florida's and the Tennessee's, and the Georgia's and the Texas 539 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: and the Red States versus New York California, this is 540 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: your chance to have a referendum on COVID because they're 541 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: not letting it disappear. They're trying to bring it back 542 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: again as we get ready for the mid terms. Talk 543 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: about that too. Men's dress shoes are not known for 544 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: their comfort. Style. Yes, good looking, sure, comfortable, not very often. 545 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: That's all changed thanks to Wolf and Shepherd. I was 546 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: out to dinner over the weekend, had a fabulous dinner 547 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: with Sheldon and Shandon Bream Shannon Bream who is at 548 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: Fox News.

We've got 569 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: a lot talking about today, including I want to update 570 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: you on that story of the bodega employee who there's 571 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: more information, but he's out now. But this is turning 572 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: into a major case in New York because they have 573 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: not claves. You might have seen, they have not dropped 574 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: the criminal charges against him. He is out on bail. 575 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: They are still charging him with second degree murders. So 576 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: people in like, would we talk about it? We told 577 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: you this was going to be a big story when 578 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: we talk about it later in the show. All the 579 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: details and everything else are are really crazy here where 580 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: we are. But I also because you notice we are 581 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: very still on this show, fired up and focused. We 582 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: just lost what almost sixty thousand National Guard soldiers because 583 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: of COVID vaccines. Just because the corporate media isn't democrat, 584 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: corporate media isn't spending time on this issue doesn't mean 585 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: it isn't a massive, a massive challenge still, and I'm 586 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: starting to see it. I'm seeing the not just because 587 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: of the whole Asheville incident of twenty twenty two, but 588 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm seeing that there are new stories popping up about 589 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: new variants, a new variant out of India. Here is 590 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: the head of h h S, for example, Secretary Basserah. 591 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: He's saying, we're gonna see a COVID resurgence just in 592 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: time for the election. What I will tell you is 593 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: that come to fall and winter. Most everyone who's an 594 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: expert on pandemics and these viruses will tell you that 595 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: strong chance that we see we'll see a resurgence of 596 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: the virus, whether it's the variants that we have now 597 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: or a new variants, and we got to be ready, 598 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: and what we know what it takes to be ready. 599 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: It's whether or not we'll have the resources to do 600 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: everything we know we can do. See, this is the 601 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: this is the forever pandemic thing now of we know 602 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: what it is. No, you actually don't. COVID's gonna rip 603 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: through the whole country again. I'm gonna get it. Clay's 604 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: gonna get it. Almost everybody listening to this is going 605 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: to get it. Pretty much. That's what we've actually learned 606 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: if we're being honest and paying attention. And here is 607 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: just another version of this, NBC's Kristen Welker saying about 608 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: here in NYC, Clay, they're already talking about masking up 609 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: indoors again. A new surge in COVID cases has New 610 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: York City officials encouraging residents and visitors to where high 611 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: quality face masks indoors. The city's positivity rate is up 612 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: fourteen percent, the highest level since January, and cases are 613 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: on the rise all across the country. This week, eighteen 614 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: states reported more cases than the week before. I do 615 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: believe that New York City, Los Angeles and other places 616 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: are going to reinstitute mask mandates. Yep. I think they're 617 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: also going to have vaccine passports again for the new you, 618 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: for the new variant that comes through. I can just 619 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: tell these people are dug in on this. They they 620 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: are living in it, in a continuous delusion because for 621 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: what I was saying before, they can't process how wrong 622 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: they've been and how stupid they are. The NEA buck 623 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: as part of its new organizational materials their platform, they 624 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: are calling for universal masking and all kids having to 625 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: get the COVID shot in order to be in school. 626 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: That's what the NAA is calling for. And I mentioned 627 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: as we went to break, I would read you a 628 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 1: tweet from Randy Weingarten. She just sent this out nearly 629 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: nine and ten respondents say schools have become too politicized 630 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: following a year of political attacks on teachers waged by politicians, 631 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: stoking culture wars, and banning books for political kine. The 632 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: fact that she can say with a straight face. The 633 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: reason why nine out of ten respondents say schools have 634 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: become too politicized is because of the teachers being unfairly 635 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: attacked when she kept kids out of school for nearly 636 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: two years. Is now next to level gas lighting from 637 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: her as somebody who at a young age had a 638 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: real and diagnosed and clinically treated speech impediment and was 639 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: falling behind in his class and was a consideration for 640 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: special schooling. This is first second grade, Randy want and 641 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: fortunately my parents and you know, we got it all 642 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: turned around. I'm doing a radio show now you can 643 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: kind of hear things. But Clay, Randy Weinarten, the teachers 644 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: Unions of the Democrat Party condemned millions and millions of 645 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: American children to spending years, if not their whole lives, 646 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: doubting their abilities, struggling with their work, having emotional real 647 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: emotional instability and challenges. Stole eighteen months of normal life 648 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: from them. They may grow up now for years, they 649 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: may go on for years being behind in their school work, 650 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: thinking it's their fault, thinking they haven't reached their potential. 651 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: One of the ramifications of that because Randy Winegarten is 652 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: a partisan and a coward. And the kids who had 653 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: that happened to them could least afford to have it 654 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: happened to them, which is the ultimate tragedy here. The 655 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: Party of equity and inclusion and equality of outcome actually 656 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: ensured that the poorest and the least advantaged kids among 657 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: us would become poorer and more disadvantaged. Because the more 658 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: wealthy you were, you had private tutoring, your school stayed open, 659 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: you had all of the ability to keep your kids educated. 660 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: Brandy Weingarten took it from him. She did. Come back 661 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 1: here in a second with the latest on the Biden 662 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: gun control calls out there. We'll hear more about it. 663 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: Plus a major case of self defense in New York 664 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: City that is getting national attention, as we told you 665 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: it would do. Democrats want to make self defense illegal 666 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: in some cases. We'll talk about this. Fleet Travis and 667 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
