We appreciate all of you 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: interacting on Facebook, on Instagram, on all of the places 34 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: out there, over four hundred AM and FM stations carrying us. 35 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: Not to bragg or draw attention to ourselves, but this 36 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: is in fact the largest radio show launch in the 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: history of the medium so far as I understand it, 38 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: and we are here for you to fight the battles 39 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: that you guys all care about. We are certainly inspired 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: and we honor the memory of Russia Limbaugh and we 41 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: will continue to fight the battles that he held. So 42 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: dear one of the battles that Russia Limbaugh was fighting 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: for the past year has to do with COVID and 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: all of the absurdity and the fallout from COVID We've 45 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: talked about an hour two Buck, you were pointing out 46 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: that the heroes of the early COVID storylines, You're Gavin 47 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: Newsom's in California, your Andrew Cuomos in New York are 48 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: now the villains. And the Rod descantis Is of the world, 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: and the Greg Abbotts and the Brian Kemps, the state 50 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: governors Bill Lee, who we are sitting in the state 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: of Tennessee doing the show right now in Nashville, who 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: opened their markets, who opened their states, who allowed their 53 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: kids to go to school. They have all finally become 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: the heroes for anyone with a functional brain. But big 55 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: story out there now, I don't know how much you 56 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: can trust to who They clearly have carried the water 57 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: for China a lot. They initially gave us totally flawed 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: information out of Wuhan, China about how prevalent COVID was 59 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: where it came from. Like many of you are, most 60 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: of you, I would imagine listening right now, maybe almost 61 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: all of you, because I think most of you have 62 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: functional brains. The evidence all supports the idea that COVID 63 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: came out of a Chinese lab, that we were probably 64 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: using American dollars to do gain a function research, that 65 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: some of that money would have come from the NIH 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: with doctor Fauci's fingerprints all over it. One of the 67 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: big questions, and We're going to get into being as 68 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: honest with you every single day as we can. And 69 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: I'll talk about this from a father's perspective because Sunday 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: was Father's Day. One of the big questions out there 71 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: has been as kids under eighteen years old are now 72 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: eligible for the vaccine, what should be the choice that 73 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: you make as a parent. And I've got three kids, buck, thirteen, ten, 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: and six. I care about them more than anything in 75 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: the world. I don't want them to get vaccinated because 76 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: the data reflects that they are not in danger of 77 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: COVID from COVID and that if they get it, they 78 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: will be fine. I'm more of fraide frankly, of this 79 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: vaccine and it being rushed and the fact that why 80 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: would you give it to children. My kids have all 81 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: been in person in school. They we have fortunately been 82 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: able to weather COVID, I think better than almost anywhere 83 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: in the country, here in my home state of Tennessee. 84 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to give my kids the vaccine. 85 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: And I know there are a lot of parents and 86 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: grandparents out there listening to us, aunts and uncles who 87 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: have young kids as well, and I feel like it 88 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: has become an anti vax argument to say that you 89 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: don't want your kids under the age of eighteen to 90 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: get the vaccine, And I think that's fundamentally unfair because 91 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: every parent out there cares, every grandparent cares more about 92 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: their kid than anything. These are real decisions that we're making. 93 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: I got my kids vaccinated for measles, mom's rebella, all 94 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: of the things that are tangible threats to them. But 95 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of evidence. Germany, not exactly known for 96 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: its irrationality, German scientists have come out and said kids 97 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: under eighteen shouldn't get the vaccine, and now The WHO, 98 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: and I know, again there's questions about whether or not 99 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: you can trust them, but buck the Who has come 100 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: out and said that they don't support vaccination for anyone 101 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: under the age of eighteen. Always with this Clay, there's 102 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: a lack of the next step in the conversation too, 103 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: there's the rewriting of history, which we've talked about, where 104 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: we're supposed to forget that when I often referred to 105 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: as the fauci Id consensus, the blue check expert, Yes, 106 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: m D class have been not only wrong but obviously 107 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: deeply politicized in a lot of the recommendations here. I mean, 108 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: all you have to do, and I just came from 109 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: New York City, is walk around. You will see people 110 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: double masked in eighty five degree weather outside by themselves. 111 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Is Nashville compared to New York City and your experience. 112 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: I walked into the hotel here and the people at 113 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: the front desk had no masks on, and I thought 114 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: I was in some alternate universe. All of a sudden, 115 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: it is amazing. You still require masks at the coffee 116 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: shop on my corner in New York. You still have 117 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: masks required in every grocery store everywhere. And this is 118 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: despite the fact that New York City, for example, has 119 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: a seventy percent give or take vaccination rate, among the 120 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: highest in the country. This has become a political branding 121 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: exercise and religious belief really for a whole lot of people, 122 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: which you and I saw when we used to talk 123 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: about this over a year ago. Now, because there was 124 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: a it was an object that people wanted to show 125 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: off to people. Oh I'm wearing I wear masks all 126 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: the time. I'm wearing them on the treadmill, all the 127 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: rest of it. And when we go back and look 128 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: at so many of the decisions, whether it's the shutdown 129 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: of schools which never should have happened, or now the 130 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: masking after not after Faut he said don't mask, then 131 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: it was you should mask, and then it became double 132 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: mask because we know the whole thing became absurd. We're 133 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: now being told that you have to get vaccinated no 134 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: matter who you are across the country. That's where the 135 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: Biden administration is. Everybody's going to get vaccinated. They don't 136 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: even talk about how there could be a need for boosters, 137 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: which would mean that we would have to also run 138 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: this process again. So if you think, if you think 139 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: that it's a one and done, I need someone to 140 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: explain to me, and I'm someone who's seen a lot 141 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: of the bad policies here coming, why we're not going 142 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: to have to go through this year and a year 143 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: out and the return of fauciism with masking during flu season, 144 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: masking during and if you think that they're not already 145 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: gearing up for this, we actually have. I mean, here's 146 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: President Biden at the White House on Friday talking about 147 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: you guessed it, new variants, folks, that's my new variant variant. 148 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: Well lave unvaccinated people even more vulnerable than they are 149 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: a month ago or a month ago. This is a 150 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: serious concern, especially because of what experts are calling the 151 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: Delta virus. The Delta variant. It's a variant that is 152 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: more easily transmissible, potentially deadly, and particularly dangerous for young people. Now, 153 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: a few things, One, I guess we've moved away from 154 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: the South African variant toward the or the you know, 155 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: the UK variant or whatever it was that they were 156 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: saying before. But also Clay the story over the weekend 157 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Daily Mail had this was that there are all these 158 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: experts now who are saying these Red states are gonna 159 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna get it. They're gonna get badly if they 160 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: don't just bend the knee and get vaccinated. Across the board, everybody, man, 161 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: woman and child across across the board. And what is 162 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: The biggest issue here that isn't being talked about to 163 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: me is I went to my local grocery store last 164 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: week and I got an antibody test twenty five bucks, 165 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: took fifteen minutes, get my finger pricked. They come out 166 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and they say, hey, you've got COVID antibodies. I never 167 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID. I had one day in the 168 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: last eighteen months where I had a fever Sunday. I 169 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: worked from home for the next to eight to ten days. 170 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: I didn't go get tested in the middle of November, 171 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: and the sites were totally overwhelmed. I've had the flu before, 172 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: I've had a lot of other illnesses. I've never gotten 173 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: tested for the flu. I felt fine one day, I 174 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: had a fever. The next day I was fine, okay, 175 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: So I went and got tested for the antibodies. One 176 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: of the things that the experts don't seem too willing 177 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: to acknowledge is we know that there are over one 178 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: hundred million people who have had COVID. I'm one of them. 179 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: I'm one of them. Yep, we have right now in 180 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: our blood antibodies. Many of us do the same thing 181 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: that you would get if you got the vaccine except 182 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: a natural version. Rand Paul Senator from Kentucky, talked about this. 183 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: He is a doctor, unlike a lot of the other 184 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: people who claim to be doctors out there, the blue 185 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: checkmark brigade, as I called them. I've made the decision 186 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: that I'm not going to go get vaccinated now because 187 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: I've already had COVID. Other people could make other decisions, 188 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: but when I have the antibodies in my blood, I 189 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: would literally be going to get a vaccine to get 190 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: antibodies in my blood. I feel fine, I feel healthy, 191 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: and I understand that everybody should be able to make 192 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: their own decisions about whatever they choose to do for 193 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: their own health. Additionally, as a parent, I have to 194 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: sit back and look at my thirteen, my ten, and 195 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: my six year olds and say, Okay, what am I 196 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: going to do for them? And the answer is not 197 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: a damn thing, because I look at the data and 198 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: if they get COVID, they are under infinitely more risk. 199 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: This is true for people under the age of eighteen. 200 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: You are under infinitely more risk eth from the seasonal 201 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: flu than you are from COVID. Look at the data, 202 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: COVID drastically overrepresented with people who are senior citizens. If 203 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: you're a senior citizen and you're listening to us right now, 204 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: I've said this to my own parents, I would encourage 205 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: you to go get the vaccine. You're in a greater 206 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: danger from COVID. You don't have to listen to me. 207 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: But that's the advice that I gave my parents, that's 208 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: the advice that I gave the elderly family members, and 209 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: my advice I gave my parents, and who are vaccinated, Yes, 210 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: my parents are too. And and that's to say, you 211 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: don't have to listen to us. We're not telling you 212 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: that you have to do anything, but for kids, I'm 213 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: not doing it. Buck And it's crazy to me that 214 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: there's not even a real discussion about this in the 215 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: United States, when the WHO and Germany are both saying, hey, 216 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: we don't believe kids under the under the age of 217 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: eighteen need to be vaccinated at all, and certainly not 218 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: really young versions of that right, And this ties in 219 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: with college kids and everyone else. If you're in your 220 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: teenage years, you're in your twenties, you're in your thirties. 221 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: Unless you have major health related conditions, you're gonna be 222 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: fine if you get COVID, and this has been my argument. 223 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: I know, Buck, you got into this as well. When 224 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: this whole debate started, I said, stratification of ages. And 225 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: if we were making intelligent, rational policy decisions, we would 226 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: have isolated the elderly and the severely unhealthy and told 227 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: them to stay away from modern society and let everybody 228 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: else go to work. This is what the Great Baron 229 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Coon Declaration of thousands, of which everybody tried to shut down, exist. 230 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: And that's why the science, which is Faucci, has doubled down. 231 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: I want to come back to Fauci has the science. 232 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: You see, he's he's referred to himself. He said again, 233 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: if you if you don't like me, you don't like 234 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: the science, so let your high schools. He did. He's 235 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: a he went to my He's like the one that 236 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: the high school loves me. I don't know, I think, 237 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, but we'll we'll come back into this because 238 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: here's what I want. All the understand Uh, this hasn't 239 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: gone away, folks, I just flew here. There's still all 240 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: these regulations, still, all these start It's crazy. And and 241 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: unless we go and say what was done that was, 242 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: what do we get wrong here, I'm telling you, And 243 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: even if you're living, if you're breathing that free, fresh 244 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: air without two or three masks on your face and 245 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: a plastic bag over your head and whatever else is 246 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,479 Speaker 1: going on. But finally you're breathing that fresh air in Texas, 247 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: in Florida, in any state that's not basically New England, 248 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: New York or California. The federal governments, the Biden administration, 249 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: they're not done with you on this one yet. And 250 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: that's why the airplane thing matters. So I want to 251 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: get into that as soon as we come back, and 252 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: the need to rectify what has been done here that 253 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: was wrong all along.

Welcome back to the Clay Travis and 285 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. And one thing that we know is 286 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: that science is not consensus and certainty is not fact. 287 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: That you should always leave open the possibility with new evidence, 288 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: new data, that you should change your conclusions. And if 289 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: you have imperfect, highly imprecise data, you shouldn't pretend you 290 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: know everything, which is exactly what has happened at various 291 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: stages of the pandemic in this country. And the expert class, 292 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: the blue check mds, Let's be honest. The Democrat lockdowners, 293 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: they've acted like they've known everything at every stage. Ron 294 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: Johnson was asked about this Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin 295 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: on Sunday when it came specifically to some of the 296 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: medicines people are talking about, well, do we know more 297 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: about iver mecta? Now? Do we know more about what 298 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: was the truth of the hydroxy chloroquine? Is it thromys 299 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: in situation from the early days? What do we have 300 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: full data on it? Here's what he said, Doctor fausci happened, 301 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: Media arrogance, social media censorship happened. But we all know 302 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: that doctor Fausci. He's not a modest man. If you 303 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: question what he did, apparently you're questioning science itself. But 304 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: you can look at how he stage managed the COVID 305 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: crisis and call it anywhere close to a success. Six 306 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: hundred thousand people died, trillions of dollars of economic devastation. 307 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: He ignored early treatment. He probably helped sabotage the use 308 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: of some of these things. And you have to understand 309 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: that doctor Fauci, people in the health agacies that meeting 310 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: the social media, they will never admit they were wrong 311 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: on this because if they do, they're gonna have to 312 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: admit that literally hundreds of thousands of people didn't have 313 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: to lose their lives but for their censorship, their arrogance, 314 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: and doctor Fauci's mismanagement. Oh, doctor Fauci is science, though, Clay. 315 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: And if he were here, he'd say, Clay wears your mask. 316 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: I can feel you unvaccinated droplets hitting me in the face. 317 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: That's a pretty good Fauci impersonation. I'm not gonna lie, 318 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: but this is to me, probably the most infuriating part 319 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: of this entire process is the fact that we haven't 320 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: been able to have a real debate about the appropriate responses, 321 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: but we failed. I believe that our response to COVID 322 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: is the single greatest American failure since the Vietnam War. 323 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: I really do. And what I hope is in the 324 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: same way that we got an accounting of the Vietnam 325 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: War and that was the best in the brightest who 326 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: into us put us into the Vietnam War as well, 327 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: I hope we're going to get a full accounting of 328 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: all the failures that we saw from COVID. I fear 329 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: that we are not, because it will make people like 330 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: Fauci and the left wing mask mafia look like the 331 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: idiots that they are, and it will actually hold them 332 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: accountable and they'll have to recognize for all of the 333 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: errors that they made why they're so significant.

That's 364 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: what we're going to try to do for three hours everything, 365 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: every single day, and Buck, you know, I think it's 366 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: a really good omen. Our show is debuting on the 367 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: anniversary of when the US Constitution became the official framework 368 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: of our government June twenty first, seventeen eighty eight, Clay, 369 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: that's when New Hampshire became the ninth of thirteen states 370 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: to ratify it. Rush spoke of the Constitution often, as 371 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: we all know, with great admiration, with awe, with reverence. 372 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: The show will continue to feature of Russia's wisdom as 373 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: it relates to the present. So we thought it appropriate 374 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: to start with these words from Rush. US Constitution limits 375 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: the role of government in everyday life. The founders of 376 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: this country realized that the natural tendency of human beings 377 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: with power is tyranny. They knew it, they realized it. 378 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: They built in checks and balances to assure that we 379 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: didn't go tyranny, and if we did, it was going 380 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: to take a long time to pull it off. They 381 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: knew what human nature was, they had studied it from 382 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: the beginning of time. And it is truthful to say 383 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: that the natural tendency of people with political power is tyranny. 384 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: That is what is so miraculous about our country. We've 385 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: been around two hundred plus years and we have had 386 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: a piece of paper, essentially the Constitution that everybody has 387 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: sworn a lead agents and fealty to. Amazingly, it would 388 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: have been not difficult at all to rip it up 389 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: at any time in the past two hundred years now. 390 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: There have been people that tried, There have been people 391 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: that wanted to. But in the end we somehow, and 392 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: I believe it's because we are a nation blessed by God. 393 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: We have survived where other people on this planet have not. 394 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: Something about the sheer, raw decency goodness of power as 395 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: defined and expressed in our Constitution has intimidated even the 396 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: worst of bad actors into leaving it alone. Until now. 397 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: Now we have arrived at the moment where the Constitution 398 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: no longer frightens the people behind Joe Biden. The Constitution 399 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: no longer threatens them, The Constitution no longer intimidates something. 400 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: You know why, because they believe that a significant portion 401 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: of American people have no idea what the Constitution says. 402 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: They believe that a majority of American people have no 403 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: idea what the Constitution is about. They believe a majority 404 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: of Americans have no idea what the Bill of Rights is. 405 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: If you don't know what the Bill of rights is, 406 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: then how can you be upset over losing it? And 407 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: to a point, they are right, we do have because 408 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: of so much ignorance in our education system. We have 409 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: literally lost the education system in pop culture. It's amazing 410 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: to think about how we have entered into a world 411 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: those are Russian Limbaugh's words where so many of you 412 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: listening to us right now feel terrified to say what 413 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: you think about COVID, or to say what you think 414 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: about any subject in the world right now. I've always argued, 415 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: and this is me putting my lawyer hat on Buck, 416 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: that the single most valuable asset we have as a 417 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: society is our embrace of Western civilization. What Russia is 418 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: really talking about there. For anybody who studies history, and 419 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: I know you're a history nerd like I am, Buck, 420 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 1: is our government represents the best approximation and analysis of 421 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: all of Western civilization, the best things that we could 422 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: pull from all of history to create the most even 423 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: while it's imperfect form of government that has ever existed 424 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: in the history of the free world. And much of 425 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: what I see going on a day to day basis now, 426 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: Buck is really not just an attack upon American values. 427 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: It's an attack about all of Western civilization, which is 428 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: the foundation essentially of all freedom in the world. And 429 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: it's so maniacally insane to me. That's saying, Hey, maybe 430 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: we should learn from the Greeks and the Romans, Maybe 431 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: we should learn from all the Enlightenment values as we 432 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: did to create the best form of union that we can. Oh, 433 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: but wait a minute, those are a lot of white guys. 434 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: We can't listen to them anymore. That's kind of the 435 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: world that we found ourselves in. And it scares me. 436 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: We talked about this when we started the show. I 437 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: don't only think and this is one of the great 438 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: things about being a father and being a parent. Your 439 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: worldview expands from Hey, what's going to happen during my life? 440 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: And one day you're going to find this out, Buck, 441 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: And immediately when that kid arrives, you start thinking about, Hey, 442 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: long after I'm gone, what world are they going to? Inherit? 443 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: And we've been talking to you for over two hours, 444 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: and we're gonna be talking into you, hopefully for years. 445 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: But that's where my motivation to take on this challenge 446 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: with this show with you, Buck came from thinking about 447 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: how do we pass on the values that have driven 448 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: the success of this country to the next generation. And 449 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: I think, I know there's a lot of people, a 450 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: variety of different ages that are listening to us right now. 451 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: You're thirty nine, I'm forty two. God willing, we got 452 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: a couple of generations ourselves where we can continue to 453 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: influence things and continue the battles that Rush fought. But man, 454 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm already thinking about what is coming for that next generation. 455 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: From my thirteen year old, from my ten year old, 456 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: from my six year old. I'm not worried so much 457 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 1: about my life. I've had a great life, But I 458 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: am concerned when Western civilization itself is under siege, and 459 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: whether when the foundational documents of our country, which have 460 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: allowed us to be the most successful country and the 461 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: best beacon of freedom that's ever existed in the world, 462 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: is now under assault. That's why I'm here candidly, and 463 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: I know that's a big reason why you're here too. 464 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: I think the recognition that everyone should have is that 465 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: the Left, in this country and in broader the broader 466 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: West around the world, in so many ways, is intentionally 467 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 1: kicking at the load bearing walls of Western civilization. They 468 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: do this knowing what the eventual goal is. There are 469 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: reasons why they are trying to undermine and attack the family, 470 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: religious belief, whether it's a question of your ability to 471 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: practice freely, not just under COVID, but in general. They 472 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: try to eliminate separation of the genders. We've all seen this. 473 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: They've tried to eliminate gender essentially as a concept, as 474 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: a meaningful organizational principle of our lives and how we 475 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: interact with going on in the Olympics right now, buck 476 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: undermining fundamental freedoms that we thought we all held dear 477 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: and in common in this country, but doing so openly 478 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: because fortunately, and I think the show, while we are 479 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: going to be fighting for you, we are also going 480 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: to be a reminder of what the Left has accomplished 481 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: so far and where they think they are in this 482 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: whole process. They feel ascended, and you could point to elections, 483 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: and you can point to you all the back and 484 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: forth of power. But if you look at the culture, 485 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: if you look at some of the foundational principles that 486 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: holds our whole country together, that actually keeps us as 487 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: one people, those are under assault from open borders. Those 488 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: are under assault from an anti constitutionalism that is essential 489 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: to the left wing view of America today because restraints 490 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: on government power mean that you can never actually get 491 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: to the utopia that the leftists, the authoritarian Democrats really 492 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: they increasingly obviously the Marxist I even a friends who 493 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: say they have a communist ethos without communist economics. That's 494 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: essentially what we're facing in so many ways from Democrat 495 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: party today. This is a real challenge and a real 496 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: fight because if you look over the last twenty years, 497 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: put elections aside for a moment, you're asking that question 498 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: about your children, and many other people listening to the show, 499 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: what does the future look like for their kids and 500 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: grandkids and grandkids, And it's going to be on the 501 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: current trajectory, a very different place. I don't think we 502 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: should lapse into a fatalism about that. I think there 503 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: should be an understanding that we can go back to 504 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: founding principles. We can go back to true unity, which 505 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: I know that word has been turned into a laugh 506 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: line by the Biden administration, which try to unify for 507 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: about five seconds after he was sworn in. But that's 508 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: one of the things. We will both be serious, clay 509 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: about the scale of the challenge and honestly the threat 510 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: to our American ness that we face, but also be 511 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: happy warriors in this fight because we know. The great 512 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: news for us is that we have so many millions 513 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: and millions of people across the country in this house 514 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: that rush field, so to speak, that know that they 515 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: have to stand with us at the barricade. They know 516 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: that they are in this together with all of us. 517 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: You guys are the tip of the spear, Buck, and 518 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: I are going to be out there in front of 519 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: the line. But you guys are the tip of the spear. 520 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: And what is encouraging to me, and I think the 521 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: happy warrior phrase is a good one I like to 522 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: use too. What is encouraging to me is, Buck, we're 523 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: on the side that's going to win. We are. I 524 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: firmly believe that I'm a huge optimist. I think if 525 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: you study American history over time, rationality, logic, reasonableness wins. 526 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: Right now, it's not. And there have been periods throughout 527 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: American history where irrationality, fear, fear mongering, unfortunately, race baiting, identity, politics, 528 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: cancel culture, all of that roles together, and for a 529 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: short period it can look like that side is going 530 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: to win. But I think what ends up happening, and 531 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: I can already see it rising up, is there is 532 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: a strong reaction coming on the other side. Twenty twenty two, 533 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: I think Republicans are gonna take back the House and 534 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: probably the Senate, and with the right nominee in twenty 535 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: twenty four, which we've been talking about already, I think 536 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris is going to get her ass absolutely 537 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: kicked destruction without COVID. Without COVID happening, Donald Trump wins 538 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: a landslide in twenty twenty and we can get into 539 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: all the different permutations of voting and everything else. But 540 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: if COVID doesn't happen, Bucket, I think you're with me here. 541 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: Trump wins Minnesota, he wins, he wins Pennsylvania with ease, 542 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: he flips I think Nevada. I think heps New Mexico. 543 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: That we're talking about a destruction. And I think what 544 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats have reaped here is they have convinced themselves 545 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: that identity politics and cancel culture is their route to power. 546 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: And I think in twenty twenty two and in twenty 547 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: twenty four, Western civilization's gonna rise up and all the reasonable, logical, 548 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: rational people out there are gonna kick some serious ass. 549 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: And guess what, We're gonna be here with you enjoying 550 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: that ass kicking. I remember that twenty ten election. Remember 551 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, everyone 552 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: thought that it was going to be a fundamental transformation 553 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: of America. Now, some of that may have been accomplished 554 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: over the ensuing years, but there was quite a big 555 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: pushback and it led to a whole movement, and there 556 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: might be another movement, Clay to your point about the 557 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: mid term, And part of that is, I think because 558 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: of exactly what Rush said. The genius of the Constitution 559 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: is that understanding of human nature, and even at a 560 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: point where it might feel, and it does to me 561 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: and to Clay right now, like freedom is not just 562 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: under assault, but perhaps it's beginning to die out there, 563 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: a stern civilization buck there are embers for the conflagration 564 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: to come that all we have to do is just breathe, 565 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: breathe a bit more into the Constitution and those fundamental 566 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: precepts of American life and it can all come back. 567 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: And that's part of our goal here. Also part of 568 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: our goal is to hear from all of you. And 569 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: we've got a whole bunch of calls that we meant 570 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: to get to, we will get to, we come back 571 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: whatever I mean we're gonna have, essentially whatever the top 572 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: story for you is, we can get to that in 573 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: just a moment. So we've got lines little over the place. 574 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: Remember clanbuck dot com is the website for updates, news updates, 575 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: and also everything you're hearing here we're going to be 576 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: posted at that site.

Like you, 579 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: I pay attention to our nation's economy and how it 580 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: affects us. Last week's business headlines reported US inflation surge 581 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: upwards to thirteen year highs. That's not good, but it's 582 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: not unexpected. Our federal government as printed and put a 583 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: lot of money trillions of dollars into the economy and 584 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: inflation as we know it is a serious side effect 585 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: of this. So how do you protect yourself by investing 586 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: in gold and other precious metals. You can have real 587 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: gold delivered privately and securely to your home, or have 588 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: real gold put in your IRRA or four oh one K. 589 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: Call the Oxford Gold Group at eight three three six 590 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: hundred gold.

I'm optimistic we're gonna win 609 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: the long term war, even though the battles right now 610 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: can be very fierce. And you have a great moment 611 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: of contemplation here, Buck Sexton. To take us into the 612 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 1: final bit of the show. First off, doctor Fauci won't 613 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: join us, really, so I'm gonna have to be I 614 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna get know. Clay is here 615 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: and the droplets just we're in studio. He's not two masks, 616 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: not three zero masks. I'm very he's very upset. Fauci's 617 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: very upset with Clay to start off with. But my 618 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: friend Carol mark Witz over the New York Post had 619 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: a great piece owners share with all you real quickly. 620 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: The headline is this summer, turn off your screens and 621 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: boldly go out into the real world. And oh my gosh, 622 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: is that the case? My friends? It's so important to 623 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: get everyone. I feel this right, Clay, don't you feel 624 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: this energy? People want to live life. The world outside 625 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: of your screen is far better than the world inside 626 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: of it.

I know, I know we talk 633 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: about some of this stuff, some of the wrong decisions 634 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: in the past, about the lockdowns, everything else, but Clay, 635 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: anyone listening to this, we made it through. We got 636 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: through this pandemic, and now it really is time for 637 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: the business of the American people to be business, but 638 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: also to be fun.
