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

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to the Thursday edition of

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show for this week

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: October twenty first, great to have you with us, hopefully

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: riding along with you or keep you company at home

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: or at the office. Don't want the boss here that

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: you listen to us, though, because you know you're supposed

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: to be doing your TPS reports. We've got a lot

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: to discuss with you. Big news come out of Florida

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: in an effort to protect people from the vaccine mandates.

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Turns out some states some governors do want to protect freedom.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: Rhonda santists. Governor Abbott of Texas will discuss that the

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: fight over due masks work in school as we've been

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: told or not, has some interesting back and forth. We've

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: also got the Attorney General Merrick Garland getting grilled on

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill for what seemed to be a shot across

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: the bow of concerned parents with that memo you know who,

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: the domestic terrorist, the soccer mom insurrectionist. Merrick Garland's having

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: to answer for that a little bit today we'll discuss it.

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: It's also tying into the Virginia governor's race. Clay pointed

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: out to me right before the show, basically dead heat

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: in the most reliable polls we've seen right now between

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Glen Junkin and Terry mccauliffe. Would be a seismic shock

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: for the Democrat Party to lose that gubernatorial race given

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: the trajectory of politics over the last year or so.

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Remember we lost those two Georgia Senate seats and the

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: special elect I mean, we've had a rough go. This

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: would be a really nice turning of the tide. And schools,

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: school boards, concerned parents CRT at the center of that race.

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: So we'll be discussing that with you. Plus the Netflix walkout.

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Clay's got some great clips on that one. And a professor,

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: if we can get to it, a professor from m

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: I T of geophysics not allowed to give a prestigious lecture.

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Why because he doesn't agree with a firmaive action hiring

35
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: in the sciences the way that the left demands. And

36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: you've got to hear some of the arguments that are

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: being used against this guy. But let's start with the

38
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: good news from Florida. As of today, I was very

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: excited to see this, Clay, we have a member of

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: the Florida State legislature. It looks like they're going to pass.

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: You know, what Texas has done is say at the

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: executive level, no vaccine mandates period. That means, I'm sorry

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: your business the same way your business cannot discriminating the

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: basis of race, cannot only serve some customers. You know,

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: there's some things that states cannot or can allow, depending

46
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, businesses to do. And it looks

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: like in Florida they're going through the legislative arm instead

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: of just the executive branch. Governor de Santists announced a

49
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: special session to pass legislation to protect Floridian's medical freedom

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: and right to earn a living. Florida is fighting back

51
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: against unjust mandates. That was the tweet from from Representative

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Sabbatinia, Florida this morning. Clay, this is the pushback,

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: my friend. This is all we need to see. And

54
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: we have talked a lot about this in the context

55
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: of federalism and the good fortune that we have that

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: Republican governors have existed at all in this country, because

57
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: if they didn't, we might well be Canada. Or Australia

58
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: and have been locked down for much of the past

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: year with no recourse because everybody would have been out

60
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: there trying to do the same thing. Right, And so

61
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: as you break this down and start to analyze it,

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: it is a really big and strong and monumental and

63
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: important thing that governors Abbot and Abbot and certainly DeSantis

64
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: are doing. And the way that this is going, I

65
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: believe is going to end up in a massive battle.

66
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Now legally, let me let me say this too. It's

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 1: important for people like us with substantial audiences to keep

68
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: hammering a fact which is an inconvenient truth that most

69
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: will not discuss. Florida yesterday had the lowest rate of

70
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: COVID in the contiguous United States. Only Hawaii yesterday, according

71
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: to New York Times data, had a lower rate per

72
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: capita of COVID infection than For to play, we have

73
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: to find out how Governor Ron de Santis managed to

74
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: spread the COVID everywhere else, Yes, in the country. He

75
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: must control the seasons. And it's also important, and this

76
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: is why I would love to have doctor Fauci, and

77
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: we need to get to basically Faucci being proven to

78
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: be a liar Ran Paul being proven correct based on

79
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: an NIH statement during the course of today's show. But

80
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: buck Vermont, which is one of the most vaccinated states

81
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: in the entire country, nobody is covering this is consistently

82
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: setting every day new highs in COVID. Over ninety percent

83
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: of adults in Vermont are testing positive for COVID. Now, sorry,

84
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: despite ninety percent of people being vaccinated, new highs are

85
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: being set in COVID cases. And the question that doctor

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: Fauci and everybody of his ILK should have to answer

87
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: is one that I bet Ron de Santis and Florida

88
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: and Greg Abbott in Texas would like to ask as well.

89
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: If everybody being vaccinated eliminates COVID, how do you explain

90
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: Vermont there is no explanation. Well, they're still clinging to

91
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: it's only the unvaccinated, which is not correct, right, So

92
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: this is where there's a little bit of a panic

93
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: I think among the establishment, the medical establishment. I would

94
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: also note that you know, Clay we here on this show,

95
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: we're pushing for protection against private sector mandates. May have

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: even had a discussion with a governor from another state

97
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: who did not see him interested and wanted to give

98
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: a phony pseudo constitutional lecture on how a state cannot

99
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: do what in fact the states of Texas and now

100
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Florida will be doing. Because when you under stand the

101
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: nature of what the left is trying to accomplish here,

102
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: you can see their next moves. It was pretty clear

103
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: that they were going to be using the private sector

104
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: to force people to get the shot. And I also

105
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: think in addition to the businesses that are doing it,

106
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: people are now seeing I'm not saying this, I hate

107
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: the old They're coming for your children. There will be

108
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: blue states that are mandating you're six year old gets

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine. It's going to happen within ninety days.

110
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: They're going to be mandating it. And so now people

111
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: are saying, okay, so what do we do. We're gonna

112
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: sit around and give each other, you know, give each

113
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: other pats on the back because we're small government or whatever,

114
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: while everyone's being forced to get the shot or get

115
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: fired or have to take all these extreme measures of

116
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: the government's mandating. So Florida and Texas leading the charge

117
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: holding line, and remember Florida is not there are other

118
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: redder states that are not being as courageous on this

119
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: issue Florida is is you know, a little red, but

120
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: it's not that red. So to get the Florida legislature

121
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: moving behind this and to take this action so that

122
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: people won't lose their jobs over this is showing some

123
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: real courage on the part of the Republican legislators and

124
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: also Governor Rohn des sentis there. I wish it would

125
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: be mirrored in some of the reader states. Well, it

126
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: should be mirrored in every state that has the opportunity

127
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: to do this, because at a minimum, we are headed

128
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: for a Supreme Court review of how do we determine

129
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: the legality here? Can the federal government, which, by the way, Buck,

130
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I just I want to keep emphasizing they still haven't

131
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: promulgated their official rules. They announced that they were going

132
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: to do it, but the Osha requirement on COVID vaccination

133
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: for any company that has over a hundred employees, that

134
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: still hasn't happened. And so I continue to believe that

135
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: not only you need to stand up to it, because

136
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: it makes it clear this is going to be a

137
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: legal battle, but I think the Biden administration is aware

138
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: that that might be a legal battle they lose, and

139
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: so they're trying to drag out the implementation of these

140
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine requirements, the mandates from the federal government as

141
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: long as they can, so that hopefully, I really think

142
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: that this they are hoping they can say, hey, so

143
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: many people went ahead and got vaccinated that now we

144
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: don't have to implement a federal mandate. We still think

145
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: individual companies should do it, but we're going to back up.

146
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: They're going to give us a carrot after threatening to

147
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: hit us with a stick. Absolutely, I mean, and you

148
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: start to look at this play. Can the federal government

149
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: mandate that every every household in America has to buy

150
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: a firearm? I mean, under the expansive approach that the

151
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Democrats seem to take here of the commerce clause and

152
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: the federal government in this case using OSHA. But you

153
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: know where does this stop and start? If you don't

154
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: leave certain things to states only. We often talk about

155
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: federalism here on the show, then you just have a

156
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: DC based super legislature and states are effectively irrelevant. There

157
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: are things that should be left to the states, and

158
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: health is overwhelmingly one of them, especially when it comes

159
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: to things like quarantine powers and safety regulations and things

160
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: of that nature. States have a tremendous leeway with that

161
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: they have plenary powers. Florida and Texas recognize that. Yeah,

162
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: and so this is a little bit of a complicated

163
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: legal dynamic, but I do think people should be aware

164
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: of this. By trying to have OSHA mandate it, what

165
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: would end up being the dispute is does OSHA have

166
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: the authority to mandate a federal vaccine right? And it's

167
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: different than, for instance, if the Congress tried to mandate it.

168
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of people out there

169
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: that would say, Okay, if you want to have that

170
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: debate and you want to go into the House, and

171
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: you want to go into the Senate, and you want

172
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: the federal government to try to mandate under legislative power.

173
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: But what they're trying to do is put this under

174
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: the OSHA regulatory regime, which is the same thing buck

175
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: that was found into a certain degree to be unconstitutional

176
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: because remember, it wasn't a when we go back to

177
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: the eviction moratorium that the Supreme Court shut down, that

178
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: was not a federal legislation that was also under the CDC,

179
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: and they found that it exceeded the scope of the

180
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: CDC's authority to keep evictions from occurring as a public

181
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: health matter. Similarly, I think it's likely that the agency

182
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: and regulatory state of this regulation being promulgated underneath OSHA

183
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: is not going to be permissible, whereas if they went

184
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: to Congress and the House and the Senate said we're

185
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: going to do this, that would be a stronger case.

186
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: This is because the bureaucracy has become the fourth and

187
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: unelected branch of our government in many ways more powerful

188
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: than more intrusive than even what you get from the

189
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: legislative branch and the judiciary and the elected executive branch

190
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: in the sense that you actually have members of Congress

191
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: and the President. Well, the president obviously and then members

192
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: of Congress are part of the legislative. But the point

193
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: here being, you're not opposed to be living at the

194
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: whim of the EPA or elected the OSHA or HHS.

195
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: So you know, people, HHS is a massive institution in

196
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: America now, and when they say things like, oh, but

197
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: it's private business, is making these decisions the federal government

198
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: behind the scenes because of Medicare and Medicaid and all

199
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: these different HHS regulations and reimbursements, calls, the shots in

200
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: the hospital system. People need to understand it's not as

201
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: simple as just oh, you know. This is why there's

202
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: a lot of libertarians. I've got a lot of libertarian friends.

203
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: They have not been particularly helpful in this fight against

204
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: COVID because they keep thinking there's some neutral space here

205
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: that we're defending, when really we're just taking artillery rounds

206
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: all the time. The other side does whatever they want,

207
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: and I think Florida and Texas, to bring it all back,

208
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: are are making the right move by at least they

209
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: gotta try to defend these basic rights. You know, it's

210
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: your point about how the courts play this out, Clay,

211
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: We'll see. But beyond that, timing here really matters. Even

212
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: delaying it sixty ninety days maybe six months, might mean

213
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: the difference between a really onerous and aggressive mandate going

214
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: into effect that because once the needle goes in your arm,

215
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: it's done. And this is why back in August I

216
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: felt so vociferously about taking action in Red States, and

217
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: I have a feeling some other Red states maybe taking action,

218
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: but I will not be getting any apology notes from

219
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: any governors. I have a feeling too here's the other

220
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: thing I think procedurely that you hit on that's so

221
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: important timing. There are a lot of companies out there

222
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: in Texas and Florida that may not want to take

223
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: this vaccine mandate but need a fig leaf. They need

224
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: a cover legally to be able to argue why they

225
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: are not doing it to Santas and Abbott now have

226
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: given them that fig leaf, and I think we need

227
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: that in many other states as many as we possibly can.

228
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: When we come back the battle overmasking, we need to

229
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: play you some of this audio because there's two divergent

230
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: stories that are being told. One is a lie, the

231
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: other is the truth. We're going to tell you which

232
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: is which. But in the meantime, our sponsor legacy by

233
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: provides a great service to so many people in the

234
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: audience out there. They will transfer your family memories you

235
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: have on videotape and film onto digital files and DVDs.

236
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: They have the expertise and equipment to do it, and

237
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: they do it all in my home state of Tennessee

238
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: in just a couple of weeks time. No matter the

239
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: kind of video, cassette, VHS, tape, Beta Max, you name it,

240
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: They've got the gear to make the transfer to a

241
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: digital file, and to give you an idea of how

242
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: accomplished they are, They've done it for one point two

243
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,479
Speaker 1: million families. This is one project worth taking on, especially

244
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: just in time for the holidays. If you're thinking of

245
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: a cool gift that you could share with your family,

246
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: how about preserving your family's most cherished memories and history

247
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: forever on digital files. So many people out there looking

248
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: for great gift ideas as we move into the holiday season.

249
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: This is amazing. In a couple of weeks time, you

250
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: send and receive back all of those old media types,

251
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: your vhs, your betamax, your old slides, along with brand

252
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: new digital files you can share with family members and

253
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: have forever to enjoy as a family. The rewards are amazing,

254
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: and the rediscovery of events and memories can bring so

255
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: many smiles and so much laughter to your family. It

256
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: is good mood inducing in a time when everybody needs

257
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: more good moods, and maybe maybe your family just needs

258
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to come together because there's been a lot of feuding

259
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. Bring the history to

00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I think it's important that we call out

269
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: lies when they occur, and we try to do that

270
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, And I think the worst kind

271
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: of why is one that is designed to inflame fear

272
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: because there is so much lying going on on a

273
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: day to day basis that it is hard not to

274
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: at times get overwhelmed and just sit back and say,

275
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: what is the actual truth? Which is why? Buck? If

276
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: you and I and we've talked about this on the

277
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: show before, if we get a fact wrong, like we

278
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: feel sick to our stomachs, i'mbarrassed. In this show, I'm

279
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: inbarrassed if we get a factor wrong. And look, opinions,

280
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: there's a big difference between a fact and an opinion.

281
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: But when you are a public health authority, you and

282
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: Buck and eye. Look at all the data. We know

283
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: everybody's busy. We look at all the data on masking.

284
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: We pay attention to it, but we feel sick to

285
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: our stomachs if we get a factor on and if

286
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: we do, we'll come back and say, hey, we told

287
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: you this it turns out that did not end up

288
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: being true, which we try to do. That's our promise

289
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: to you. One of the things that I think is

290
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: the most infuriating, and there are a lot of things

291
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: about COVID that are infuriating, is the insistence on public

292
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: health officials who should know better, continuing to sell us

293
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: things that are factually untrue and not supported by the data.

294
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: And so I'm going to play the falsehood first. I

295
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: want to make it clear this is not true. Okay,

296
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: this is not accurate, and then we're going to bring

297
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: you the actual truth on the flip side in the

298
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: next segment. But first let's play cut two from Vivic Murphy,

299
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: who is trying to argue that masks may since and

300
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: that they make us all safer. This is the Surgeon

301
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: General of the United States, Vivic Murthy, and I worry

302
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: about efforts in some states and some localities to move

303
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: schools away from universal mass requirements and testing, because we've

304
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: seen now that schools that have universal masking in place

305
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: are much much less likely, more than three and a

306
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: half times less likely to have outbreaks in schools compared

307
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 1: to schools they don't have masking rules. This is our

308
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: kids health that's at stake. We've got to take every

309
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: measure to make sure they're okay. No, no, it's a lie. No,

310
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, We're We're not going to let this fly

311
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: Clay right. It just we'll come back and give more

312
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: data on the other side from you know, Harvard trained

313
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: MD who happens to be the surgeon general for the

314
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: state of Florida. Maybe he knows something. Maybe he knows something.

315
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: We'll address this in a second. We're not letting them

316
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: get away with the lies. Friends. Eight hundred dollars a year.

317
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: That's how much money families are saving by switching their

318
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: cell phones or is two pure talk salu. These are

319
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: families that are ditching Verizon AT and t r T

320
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: Mobile and switching to Pure Talk. Why because Pure Talk

321
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: is on the exact same five G network, using the

322
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: exact same towers as one of those big carriers, but

323
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: for far less money every month. Switching is so easy.

324
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: You can keep your number and your phone when you

325
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: move to pure talk. If you in a new phone,

326
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: you want to keep your same phone number. Pure talk

327
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: has a brand new iPhone or Android for you at

328
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: great prices. Listen to this offer. Unlimited talk text and

329
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: six gigs of data on pure talks. Five gen network

330
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: is just thirty dollars a month and Pure Talks customer

331
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: services all here in the US. And when you make

332
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: the switch you'll have access to experienced employees of pure Talk.

333
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: Pure Talk has a thirty day risk free guarantee. You've

334
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: got nothing to lose from your cell phone. Dial pound

335
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: two fifty and say pure Talk. You'll save fifty percent

336
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: off your first month. That's pound two five zero say

337
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: pure Talk. Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck

338
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. This is where we provide an island of

339
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: sanity amidst all the madness of the fauciites, the socialists,

340
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: the commies, the woke. This is where you come to

341
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: gather with all of us, the same people, as my

342
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: friend Clay says. This is where we do the same thing,

343
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: the rational thing, and that means looking at the numbers,

344
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the data, the reality as it is. We just play

345
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: it before in case you missed it. The Surgeon General

346
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: Murphy for the United States government making a claim, making

347
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: a claim that schools that don't have mask mandates have

348
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: three point five times the COVID outbreaks of schools with

349
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: mask mandates. I've looked at this study and this is

350
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: what it says on the hill about it. Out of

351
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: the one hundred ninety one schools in Maricopa and peem

352
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Back Counties in Arizona that experience outbreaks by the end

353
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: of August, fifty nine point two percent did not have

354
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: a mask requirement compared to eight point four percent that

355
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: required mask from the start of the school year. Um,

356
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: so they're doing this from August. This almost a third

357
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: of outbreaks occurred in schools that implemented mask mandates after

358
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 1: the school year. But you got to clay, there's no

359
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: control groups. It's complete garbage. This the study that he said,

360
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: the study the Surgeon General is citing is complete garbage.

361
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: Here's the Surgeon General at the and this is why

362
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: that they they never want what we actually said this

363
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: here on the show that one of the reasons there

364
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: was such opposition to mask choice for kids in Florida

365
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: schools was Florida would keep real data and there would

366
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: be a control group there where it was mandated in

367
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: schools where it was not, and you'd be able to

368
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: look at it. And here is what the Surgeon General

369
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: of the State of Florida says, Harvard m D. Doctor

370
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: Joseph Latipot. You get to step back moment from what

371
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: you hear sort of constantly on TV and just very briefly,

372
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: in terms of the data that supports masked use and

373
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: kids and mandates for masking kids. It is very weak,

374
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: and that's a fact. But there's a substantial gap between

375
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: the quality of the data out they're supporting masking kids

376
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: yielding any benefit for kids whatsoever factual, and what we're

377
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: hearing from some of our public health leadership in other

378
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: states and nationally in Florida. We're going to stay close

379
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: to the data and we're gonna let you know how

380
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: we feel about the data. And the data do not

381
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: support any clinical benefit for children in schools with mask mandates.

382
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: The highest quality data find no evidence of benefit. And

383
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: that's how we're going to stick with that, because that's

384
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: what the data show. I mean, Clay. This guy, what

385
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: does he not know anything? He's a Harvard MD. Does

386
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: he not understand the science what we had? You'll remember

387
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: the New York Magazine article writer who has been enmeshed

388
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: in analyzing the data. David's Why, I believe was his

389
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: name at New York Magazine. And I would encourage people

390
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: out there. We have shared this, maybe we can share

391
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: it from the Clay and Buck Twitter account again, the

392
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: science on masking children, there is no data out there

393
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: that legitimately supports masking having any impact at all. And Florida,

394
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: to your point, is such a great test case scenario

395
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 1: because some counties and Florida mandated mask contrary to what

396
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: the governor had demanded in terms of parents just having

397
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: their right to choose, and others did not. And the

398
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: statistical significance of the two control groups, the masks schools

399
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: and the non mask schools, there was no difference. And

400
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: that's because mask don't work, and that is and remains

401
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: a significant fact. So you have the Surgeon General of

402
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: the United States spreading a lie, propagating a falsehood, and

403
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: then you have the surgeon general of the State of Florida.

404
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: I think both of them by the way, are Harvard

405
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: mds actually sharing the data from Florida. And remember, the

406
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: biggest study the CBC did was in the state of Georgia,

407
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 1: and that was a big part of the science behind

408
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: the article about masking kids in New York magazine, David's

409
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: wigs piece. And I think that involved I'm not mistaken

410
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: buck ninety thousand kids. I mean, it was a monstrous

411
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: control experimental group. Because a lot of these studies, like

412
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure the one in Maricopa County or whatever they're

413
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: trying to cite, are tiny numbers of kids and there's

414
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: almost no statistical significance to them. We've got the whole

415
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: state of Florida, we have a huge portion of the

416
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: state of Georgia, both proving that masking doesn't make sense.

417
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, we got all these countries overseas

418
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: that have done studies and their kids aren't wearing. The

419
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: UK has said no mask for kids in schools because

420
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: they look at the data and it's just not there.

421
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: The numbers just not there. Going back to this study

422
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: that the surgeon in general, we're supposed to, Oh, he's

423
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: an expert, you're supposed to listen to this guy you're

424
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: talking about twenty one percent of these schools had a

425
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: mask requirement since the beginning of the school year. Thirty percent,

426
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: Adam win later forty eight percent never mandated masks at all.

427
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: They have no they're just looking at this. And by

428
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: the way, they only picked sixteen percent of counties to

429
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: analyze in their own state, and one fifth roughly of

430
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: your counties that are changing masks. No masks, maybe masks,

431
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: and then you're coming up with this number. It's absurd.

432
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: In Florida, it's very straightforward. Some schools had mandates, some

433
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: schools did not. Did the schools with mandates do better

434
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: than the schools without mandates? And by the way, it's

435
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: not a ban on masks, it's choice. No, you allow

436
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: children to go to school with the choice. There was

437
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: no difference statistically whatsoever. They ran a control group study

438
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: the mask maniacts are wrong. But more than anything else, Clay,

439
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: they're the people, I think who are still terrified, you know, gosh,

440
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, a little little Timmy or little Susie's gonna

441
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: get COVID and they just can't look at reality. And

442
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: then there are the people for whom it's really just about.

443
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: They don't want to feel like they've been not that

444
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: smart this whole time. You know that they think of

445
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: masking their kids was the responsible thing to do. They

446
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: don't want to find out at this point. Oh my gosh,

447
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean even right now. I'll tell you this. October nineteenth,

448
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: a professor at Harvard University's chance A School of Public

449
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: Health wrote a piece on how schools should do away

450
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: with mass mandates by the end of the year. This

451
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: is just crazy, and we just need to have a

452
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: decision made. It's done end of this year, meaning December done,

453
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: no more met. Chris's break could basically go away. And

454
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: this is why I think it's so important, because that's

455
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: what we actually have to do. We actually just have

456
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: to all come together and agree we're not doing some

457
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: of these things anymore. Not maybe we'll do it again,

458
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: or we're waiting, and let's check the data and all

459
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: this other stuff we have on the experiment. The Fauciites

460
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: were wrong, end of story. But the pushback on this is,

461
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be fierce because it's become it's

462
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: not just about the science, as we've done all along,

463
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: it's about political power and control well and what's also

464
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: wild and infuriating about this buck is when you actually

465
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: look at, like we said, the data, they're still saying

466
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: even with five to eleven year olds being vaccinated. We

467
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: played this from Rachelle Willinski, the director of the CDC yesterday.

468
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: She said, masking's not going to go away, even when

469
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: people five to eleven can get vaccinated. Now, I said,

470
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: you can come after me if you want. I'm sure

471
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: people will. I'm not getting my young kids vaccinated for

472
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: COVID because they have no risk of COVID, right. I

473
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: think they've already had it. My wife and I have

474
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: had it. I think they probably have antibodies. I think

475
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: they've been fine. That's what the data would likely suggest

476
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: in my own household. But if you are terrified of COVID,

477
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: get your kids vaccinated. That's your choice. But why in

478
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: the world should everybody still have to wear masks when

479
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: anyone can get the vaccine that they want. You know,

480
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: how we say these things, then we keep hammer the

481
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: numbers and the data, and we know that this audience.

482
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: But but it's also important that I feel like we're

483
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: equipping you know, we are a truth force multiplier here

484
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: on the show. You know, we we are you know,

485
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: God bless SF guy special Forces, but they go in

486
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: they train indigenous to be able to fight on behalf

487
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: of us interests. We are like that with the truth

488
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: and the data here, right, we're trying to give people

489
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: the facts of the numbers so that when they sit

490
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: down to the Thanksgiving table and someone says, oh, my

491
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: children can't they're gonna they're at such a risk from COVID.

492
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: And just to remind everybody that it's not just stuff

493
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: that we're saying. It's not that we're not pulling that

494
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: a thin air. This Washington Post article that I just

495
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned you a Harvard public health professor. So usually

496
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: libs like Harvard when it goes in their favor, they're

497
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: like Harvard. He cites the same quote low risk for

498
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: kids holds true for mortality were the risk for five

499
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: to eleven year olds has consistently been about one per million.

500
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: It is a one in a million risk, my friends,

501
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: we're not exaggerating. That is the actual mortality risk. So

502
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: when people think they're so smart, what about measles? The

503
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: risk of death from measles for a child is one

504
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: in a thousand. Yeah, that's very different from one in

505
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: a million. I think we all understand that. And the

506
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: one in a million, Buck, I think it's also important

507
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: to note many of those kids have massive underlying medical conditions. Right,

508
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: we're not talking about young, healthy kids that are dying

509
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: with COVID. Most of the kids that are dying and

510
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: I wish there were none, but most of them that

511
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: are dying are. We shared the data before on the

512
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: overall cause of mortality among young children and COVID by

513
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: age range is less than one percent of the cause

514
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: of death for kids in that age range. It's it's wild.

515
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: By the way, nearly a third of us and we're

516
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: going to keep sharing all of this data with you

517
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: every single day because I do think it's important. Bucks

518
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: point the force multiplier that we all as a group

519
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: helped to share facts that matter and help to influence

520
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: our political debates. By the way, nearly a third of

521
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: us suffer from chronic pain that can come from exercise

522
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: over exertion. The effects of everyday living can also come

523
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: from pain and plain and simple aging. Pain is pain.

524
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: If you're having it, you need to get better. Use

525
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: Relief Factor today. Four key ingredients one hundred percent drug

526
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: free product addresses joint pain, knee, hip, backneck, and shoulder pain.

527
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, including

528
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: my wife and Buck's dad, and about seventy percent of

529
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: them go on to order more. If you had a

530
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: seven and a ten chance to eliminate your pain, why

531
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't you take the chance and make a smart decision today? Buck?

532
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: How do they sign up? Join them? More than half

Speaker 1: hundred four eight hundred to number for relief. We welcome

539
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of

540
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: you hanging out with us. We are rolling through the Thursday.

541
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: I had to think they're for a minute, Buck, I

542
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: was like, what, Dan, it's the Thursday edition of the program.

543
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: We're about to be joined by Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.

544
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: She's going to weigh in on a bunch of different issues,

545
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: including Fauci now basically being caught in a lie. She

546
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: is demanding that he resigned. I think there's a lot

547
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: of Republicans out there that are going to demand a

548
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: criminal investigation into whether or not doctor Fauci has committed perjury.

549
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: All of that continues to build. We will discuss it

550
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: also the Netflix controversy. But the biggest election that is

551
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: going to happen in twenty twenty one is going to

552
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: be what's going on in Virginia governatorial race. And what

553
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: is happening is the most recent Monmouth poll that came

554
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: out shows now Buck a dead heat forty six percent

555
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: for Yunkin, forty six percent for Terry McAuliffe, and McAuliffe

556
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: is filling the heat. He stormed out of an interview

557
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: because he was unhappy with the questions that he was

558
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: being asked there. He now is arguing that Glenn Yunkin

559
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: is Donald Trump two point zero, which is the court

560
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: sort of desperate ploy that is brought to bear now

561
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: anytime we've got potentially a tight race, and I think

562
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: this is gonna end up being significant. Richmond's schools have

563
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: just decided that their teachers are too stressed, so they're

564
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: going to take a week off out of nowhere. Buck

565
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: This is crazy and certainly is working against mcculliffe because

566
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: the whole race seems to be boiling down to public education.

567
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: Loudon County became the front line in the battle between

568
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: parents and critical race theory indoctrination, which has now turned

569
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: Virginia into a frontline state in that fight, and the

570
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: governor's race is mirroring that battle in many ways. I mean,

571
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: you can see Glenn Youngkin, what is he hammered? Because

572
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: the people there are certain things that at the state

573
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: level really matters. There's only so much. You know, if

574
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: you're the governor of Virginia, the federal tax rate, you

575
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: could say, oh, I don't want them to raise taxes

576
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: the federal but you're not going to be able to

577
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: do anything about that. Right. State level schools matter a

578
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: lot to people, matters a lot to counties and localities,

579
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: and the governor plays a huge role in all of this.

580
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: And that's why Glenn Younkin is talking about a whole

581
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: range of issues that affect the schools, including safety issues,

582
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: school resource officers. Here you go. We are going to

583
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: take immediate action in regards to our kids safety. Our

584
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: kids can't wait first. When I'm your governor working for you.

585
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: Every school will be required to have school resource officers

586
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: on its campus, and let me be clear, they will

587
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: be on every campus, or that school will lose its funding.

588
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: If you are a school board and you refuse to

589
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: equip your schools with school resource officers to keep our

590
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: children safe, you will need to find your funding for

591
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: your school on your own. This is powerful stuff, Clay,

592
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: and it goes to an argument that actually, or rather

593
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: some reporting and then the arguments that came up in

594
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: the aftermath of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas shooting, when they

595
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: were conversations about should there be armed resource officers at schools?

596
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: Why why was there such opposition to that in some schools,

597
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: in some school districts, in places, And there's this whole

598
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: notional left of the school to prison pipeline, and that

599
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: even when kids can kids commit violent crimes in school,

600
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: they shouldn't necessarily be reported to police or if they

601
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: if they commit if they commit a real offense. So

602
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: this is a pushback on it to say we actually

603
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: do need to have kids kept safe in school. The

604
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: law still applies in school, it's not all handled in house.

605
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: And because of what happened with that transgender student allegedly

606
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: assaulting the team girl and then that being covered up.

607
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: This has a lot of residence in the state of Virginia,

608
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: no doubt. I'm glad you brought that up because Merrick

609
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: Garland is testifying today the Attorney General would have been

610
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice potentially. He said he didn't know

611
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: anything about that case. So this is Merritt Garland who

612
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: basically said the school board parents are domestic terrorists and

613
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that we are investigating this

614
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: on behalf of the FBI in the Department of Justice.

615
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: And he then goes in front of Congress. This is

616
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: the thing that was written about in the Washington Post.

617
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: This is certainly a topic of major discussion. And Buck,

618
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: this is a lie. He said he didn't know anything

619
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: about this case. I mean, come on, you don't think

620
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: that he the Washington Post. You don't think that somebody

621
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: would tell him. Hey, just so you know, there's a

622
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: big pushback against your idea of classifying parents as domestic

623
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: terrorists investigating school board meetings. And by the way, one

624
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: of the guys that has most virally been a quote wrongdoer,

625
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: his daughter may have gotten sexually assaulted by a transgender

626
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: student in Loudon County bathroom. You don't think the Attorney

627
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: general has been briefed on that case. I mean he

628
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: is lying buck unless they came in to talk to

629
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: him and he just started waving his arms and screaming,

630
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: don't tell me a word about this, so I can

631
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: say that I don't know anything about it. I mean,

632
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: he knew he's gonna go on Capitol Hill and so

633
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: he didn't want to have to be answering questions. Because

634
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: when you start to add all this together in Virginia,

635
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: what do you have? You have slimy Terry mccauliffe running

636
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: around talking about how parents shouldn't have a shay and

637
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: what their kids are being taught in schools. Let's leave

638
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: that to the teachers unions who decide things like we

639
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: need a week long naptime. You know, we needed to

640
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: take off time because we're so stressed. And also has

641
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: the backing of a Sorroast backed defund the police and

642
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: mass incarceration prosecutor who doesn't want to go after real

643
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: crime but wants to put the dad of an assaulted

644
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: team girl in prison because he's upset about the transgender

645
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: student attacking his daughter in the bathroom. All this looks

646
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: really bad for Terry McCall iff. I gotta say, Glenn

647
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: Younkin's got some momentum and you need, if you are

648
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: listening to us in Virginia, to get out and vote,

649
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: because it's a massive message you can send. When we

650
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: come back, we'll be joined by Senator Marsha Blackburn. We'll

651
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: talk about Fauci's lies. We're trying to spread truth and

652
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: justice every single day, and I think in this first

653
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: hour we did a pretty good job of it. We'll

654
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: keep it up an hour two and hour three. Marsha Blackburn. Next,

655
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: thanks for hanging with us. You're listening to Clay Travis

656
00:36:53,600 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton fund the EIB Network. Five
