1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis Buck 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: wherever you may be, across the nation or around the world. 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: Vindication in some way at long last for those of 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: us who have been arguing against mask for years. We 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: will discuss the Georgia four person of the Grand Jury, 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: that is after Donald Trump is an imbecile. We will 9 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: play some audio of that. Donald Trump on his way 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: to East Palestine, Ohio to survey the damage there, while 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: Joe Biden remains in Europe. Quite the contrast, a perfect metaphor, 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: one might say, for America first but Buck. Late last 13 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: night this went up on the New York Times website. 14 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: It is an opinion piece on their editorial page this 15 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: morning in the newspaper and the headline Brett Stevens is 16 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: the author the Mask Mandates did nothing, will any lessons 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: be learned? And I'm just going to read a first 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: couple of paragraphs. The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of 19 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing 20 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: the spread of respiratory illnesses including COVID nineteen was published 21 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 1: late last month. Its conclusion, said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford 22 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: epidemiologist who is its lead author, were unambiguous. There is 23 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: no evidence that they meaning masks make any difference, he 24 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: told Mary Anne Demass. Full stop, wait, hold on, what 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: about in ninety five masks as opposed to lower quality 26 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: surgical or cloth masks. Makes no difference, None of it, 27 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: said Jefferson. What about the studies that initially persuaded policymakers 28 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: to impose mask mandates? They were convinced by non randomized studies, 29 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: flawed observational studies. Now, Buck, we talked about this. This 30 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: is the Cochrane Study, a British nonprofit I'm reading from 31 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: the editorial, widely considered the gold standard for its review 32 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: of healthcare data. Seventy eight randomized controlled trials, six of 33 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: them during COVID six hundred and ten thousand participants in 34 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: multiple countries. No study or study of surveys ever perfect. 35 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: But there is no sign that masks made any difference 36 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: at all. So some of you out there may be saying, 37 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: of course, I've been listening to you and Buck for 38 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: two years or longer. We know that this is true. 39 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: Why is this a story? Buck? I think the New 40 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: York Times finally telling its audience that all of their 41 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: mask wearing was cosmetic theater that had no impact is 42 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: significant because they're finally acknowledgedging the truth three years after 43 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: many of us began to argue it. This is because 44 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: also there are no political consequences for it at this point, 45 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: the mid term has passed. Very few places, if any, 46 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: really still have mask mandates in place. There's I think 47 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: doctor's offices in New York City, some hospital systems still 48 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: do it, and you have people who are falling back 49 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: on the will doctors wear masks, So that's why we 50 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: should all wear masks. There's really cheer that should be 51 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: unpacked and should be addressed. The fact of the matter 52 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: is that the entire consensus health medical establishment got this wrong. 53 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: That's beyond any doubt. I actually think that Brett Stevens here, 54 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: who generally makes a living trashing Republicans for the amusement 55 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: of Democrats over at the New York Times, I think 56 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: that he goes too soft in the article because what 57 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: happens when you say mask man dates don't work. Then 58 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: the response from the true believers, the Fauciites out there 59 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: still who worship at their tiny altars to that tiny man. 60 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: They will say, oh, well, here's the thing. It's because 61 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: we didn't mask up properly that we have this problem. 62 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: It's not that it's not that masks don't work, as 63 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: that mandates don't work. Wrong, the masks don't work. If 64 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: you were doing this for any other medical intervention. If 65 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: this was a study for a pain killer or some 66 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: any kind of a drug, a sleep medication, and you 67 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: looked at this macro study of studies, which is the 68 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: gold standard that you could possibly find, the Cochrane study, 69 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: and it showed zero efficacy, you would be laughed at. 70 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: You would be laughed at on any other issue. If 71 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: you said, well, we should still do this, It's still 72 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: worth a shot. But they will never admit this. And 73 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: I think that for a lot of us, it was 74 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: deeply discouraging about the Democrat Party, about humanity more broadly, 75 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: that they would not only go along with this, but 76 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: that they would be the enthusiastic enforcers of this. I 77 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: believe that one of the reasons we can't just let 78 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: this go is clay. If the next issue comes up 79 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: that same mindset of the Siberian prison guards in the 80 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: sky that we had with airline attendants. By the way, 81 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: and please don't send me an email saying but my 82 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: wife or my husbands and airline well, were they being 83 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: nice during this or not? If they were being nice 84 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: to people and not being some of them were maniacs. Okay. 85 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: I dealt with it personally. I'm not talking about the 86 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: people who are nice, who were saying, look, other people 87 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: are going to get upset. Can you just do me 88 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: a favor? You know, Yeah, I get it. It's the 89 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: policy I had. I had a stewardess come up to 90 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: me and tell me that I was taking too long 91 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: when I was chewing, that I was taking too long 92 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: between bites to mask up. That is a psychopath. That 93 00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: is a person who needs serious psychological assistance. And there 94 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: were millions and millions of them across the country. And 95 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: they until they are made to wallow in the reality 96 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: of their own foolishness here, they will mobilize again. They 97 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: will send people to the re education camp over the 98 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: climate crisis, clay, whatever the next thing, whatever the thing is, 99 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: they will go along with with the same zeal unless 100 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: they are made to recognize that the masks Stazi are 101 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: foolish beyond belief and should be ashamed of themselves. And 102 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I can't even think of anything similar to masking that 103 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: has been more universally adopted and been less beneficial in 104 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: my entire life. And that is why I think, and 105 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: again I understand some people saying, well, we've known this 106 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: to be true for a long time. Why is this significant? 107 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: The New York Times at knowledging that masking didn't work 108 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: after all of the water carrying they did for the 109 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: petty tyrants, mandating masks is a big moment, and I 110 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: wonder in many ways what so many of their readers 111 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: are thinking. And I will say this Buck. They had 112 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: a editorial and I agree with you, doesn't go far enough, 113 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: but I mean, I'll take progress where we can get it. 114 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: They had an editorial recently defending JK. Rowling, and I 115 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: think it was in the Sunday edition of The Times. 116 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: I wonder whether some people are trying to take back 117 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: control of the opinion pages at the New York Times, 118 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: because they certainly lost them in the wake of the 119 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Tom Cotton We should call out the National Guard and 120 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: they had a full fledged basically rebellion among Times reporters 121 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: that it's become so embarrassing the arguments that they are making, 122 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: which are not supported by any kind of rational thought, 123 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: that it's starting to even be impossible for them. The 124 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: Emperor has not worn the clothes for long enough that 125 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: even at the New York Times, they're having to recognize 126 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: that they have lost their way. Well, there is a 127 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: level at which leftist institutions, media platforms, whatever it may be, 128 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: do become concerned not that the truth is a casualty, 129 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: but that their own reputations and their own sense of self, 130 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: their self esteem is at risk because of the absurdity 131 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: of the arguments that they are forced to make. And 132 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, this is anybody who is a dead ender 133 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: at this point on COVID vaccines, for example, anybody who 134 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: is still pushing for masking, anybody who's saying that men 135 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: can get pregnant. I mean, these are things that are 136 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: impossible to defend as a rational, reasonable person. So I 137 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: think that if there's any retrenchment going on, it's a 138 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: function of they just simply can't hold this territory any 139 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: anymore at this moment in time. That doesn't mean they've 140 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: given up. It doesn't mean they don't want these things 141 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: or they don't see value in them over the long term. 142 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: But I remember, you know, I had PolitiFact write some 143 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: article telling me that that I was I was spreading disinformation. 144 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: And this is supposed to be a fact checking You 145 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: know that probablem was well known fact checking organization, and 146 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: they did a whole buck sexton spreading disinformation because I 147 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: said that masks masks outside are completely insane, which, by 148 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: the way, I mean that that was obvious from the 149 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: very beginning, right, I mean that was the whole thing 150 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: was absurd from day one. And I know you and 151 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: I while I was on honeymoon, I didn't I didn't 152 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: want to engage. I didn't want to get into it. 153 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: But I haven't forgotten about these libs that took shots 154 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: at a few of our shows. Um, you know, they 155 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: took at a few shows, including ours. They took shots 156 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: at our friend, the Great Steve Bannon over at War Room. 157 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: They took shots at some other some other folks for 158 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: disinformation in this realm on COVID. They should be sending 159 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: The New York Times should be sending an apology email 160 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: yes and asking, hey, how do you and Clay come 161 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: up with such a stute, forward leaning analysis without any 162 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: medical background whatsoever. What's it like to be brave and write? 163 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: Please come in and lecture our newsroom about that. Ali, 164 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: You can confirm our invitation to the New York Times 165 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: writer who had a front page business section article saying 166 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: that this show was the third biggest purveyor of misinformation 167 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: in all of political media. That guy has not responded, 168 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: I presume, just like the Brooking Institute. Yeah, the New 169 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: York Times has not responded to our offer. Buck. While 170 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: you were gone, I made the offer. I said, look, 171 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: you can come on and share with this audience all 172 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: the misinformation that we have shared. I want to see 173 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: your formula. I want to see your work. Brookings Institute 174 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: said they couldn't find the time. The New York Times 175 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: author of the piece also mysteriously unable to find the time. 176 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: But I did want to hit a couple of these 177 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: flashbacks to give you a sense of what you were 178 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: being told and how much you were being lectured. Here's 179 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: Don Lemon, our good buddy, who came back today and 180 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: to apologize and return to CNN saying that masks protect kids. 181 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: This is from August of twenty twenty one. Listen, I 182 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: get that no one wants to wear a mask. I 183 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: get it, and I get that a lot of parents 184 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: don't want their kids to have to wear one while 185 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: they're in school. Okay, but if it's going to protect 186 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: children from getting infected, isn't that what matters most, or 187 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: what should matter most? He's wrong. Here's Joe Biden buck 188 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: back in August of twenty twenty one saying masks need 189 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: to be worn in schools. You know, there are a 190 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: lot of people out there trying to turn a public 191 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: safety measure that is children wearing masks in school so 192 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: they can be safe, into a political dispute, and that 193 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: this end about politics is about keeping our children safe. 194 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: And one more time from our buddy Fauci, here is 195 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: Fauci saying, masks certainly do something wrong. I don't like 196 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: mandating things. I don't like punishing people for not doing something. 197 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't believe by the way that he doesn't like 198 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: I think he loves mandating things. Oh of course, I 199 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: think that he was a pathetic and worthless bureaucrat for 200 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: over forty years. Although the highest paid federal government employee 201 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: in the United States while he was still in that job. 202 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: I think that this was his crown his crowning achievement 203 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: was to basically be in charge of US policy, not 204 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: just health policy, all policy for a period of eighteen 205 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: months or so. And he should have been fired. And 206 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: this is something that we're going to be litigating, something 207 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about going forward here, because when 208 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: was all that stuff by Fauci first being pushed Trump's 209 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: biggest failure as president, As Fauci fair to say, um, yes, 210 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I think I think so. I also, I mean, look, 211 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into a whole, you know, 212 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: Trump thing, because we should also talk about, to be fair, 213 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: the big the big wins that he had. Um, And 214 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to be overly negative. I think Trump 215 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: overall did a great job. But yeah, I mean, Fauci 216 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: should have been Fauci should have been fired. Now they 217 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: would say if we had Trump here, he would say, 218 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: but that would have been so much worse. And then 219 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: I you know how much worse coulould have been. Look 220 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: who ended up being president in twenty twenty one, right, 221 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: So I don't know only that Trump would have been 222 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: ugly in the short term in the long term, Trump 223 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: would have been vindicated as having been right, as he 224 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: has been vindicated on many issues being right. He has, 225 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: I think, stopped weighing in on how great operation warp speed. 226 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything in operation warp speed in a 227 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: little while. Which member we were saying this, We were 228 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: saying this coaching maga with love of We were saying, 229 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: stop saying operation warp speed saved you know, five hundred 230 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: million lives or whatever, because it didn't. So I think 231 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: that's been dropped, and I think that there's more of 232 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: a focus now. But we'll come back onto this and 233 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: a whole lot more here in just a second. Speaking 234 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: of focus, sighting it in my friends. For all the 235 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: firearm inficionados out there, you want to get really good 236 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: without having to actually even go to the range, without 237 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: even leave your couch, you can do it with the 238 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: mantis x system, which is a dry fire practice method 239 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: that I've got here at home. It is so simple. 240 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: The mantis x attaches to your firearm like a weapon light, 241 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: connects to your smartphone via bluetooth. You're getting real time 242 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: feedback on how good your shot is and how you 243 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: can improve. There's no ammo all electronic way of training 244 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: is catching on all over the place. In fact, mantis 245 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: x is now being used by the US military and 246 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: special forces, and I use it here at home too. 247 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: Another cool thing about mantis x it provides you with 248 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: drills and courses that you can do at home. Of course, 249 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: nothing really replaces a visit to the range, but mantis 250 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: x is so easy to use. It makes those visits 251 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: more productive and you can really see an improvement in 252 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: your skills.

They're here to shed light on the truth 258 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: every day. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. You know, there 259 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: are some people who made a career speaking I don't 260 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: know if it's truth to power, but saying things that 261 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: were controversial at the time, and then all of a 262 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: sudden when it came to masking. I promise last think 263 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about masks for this hour, but I just 264 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: I have to hear Howard Stern. I think he does 265 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: he making a one hundred million dollars a year over 266 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: at which hey, look good for I'm a capitalist. Good 267 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: for him, Good for him. Maybe I can get an 268 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: invite to the guesthouse out in the Hampton's at some point. 269 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: But here he is complained, I would have to wear 270 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: a mask, apparently indoors and out towards maybe double masking, 271 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: because Howard Stern a bit of a neurotic about this one. 272 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: Play play seven and you get all these wackos with 273 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: their anti mask, anti baccine. The reason they've lifted these 274 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,359 Speaker 1: mask mandates is because we gave into this small minority 275 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: of people who are completely out of their mind, who 276 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: think masks are some sort of prison sentence and their 277 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: freedom right. The government is tired of fighting with people 278 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: who want to get sick and die. Yeah, there's so 279 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: many wackos I missed. The old Republican Party used to 280 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: be nice to have a two party system. Now it's 281 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: wackos versus you know, democrats, in that the waccos are winning. No, no, no, 282 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: he has the Waccos backwards, and he should he should 283 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: tell his audience that he should if he were an 284 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: honest man. Right now that by the way that was 285 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: from March of twenty twenty two. That was a year ago. 286 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: But if you were an honest man, Clay, he would 287 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: come out and say I got this one wrong as 288 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: wrong can be, and I'm sorry that I slandered so 289 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: many people. He didn't leave his house for two years, 290 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: and I think to be as wrong on this. This 291 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: is my big thing. We talk about threats to democracy 292 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: all the time, and I just want all of you 293 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: to think about this. If being wrong on what is 294 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: probably the biggest issue of many politicians careers, and all 295 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats were one hundred percent wrong on COVID. If 296 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: there are no consequences, then what is the purpose of 297 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: having elections in the first place. We should hire and 298 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: fire leaders based on whether they are good at dealing 299 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: with hard questions. I'm not aware of a single Democrat 300 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: buck who lost his or her job despite failing across 301 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 1: the board to handle and respond to COVID as an 302 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: adequate adult would. And the fact that that's allowed to 303 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: happen is what I think is actually the biggest threat 304 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: to democracy out there. Fire people when they suck at 305 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: their jobs. That's what we all as voters should do. 306 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: We didn't do it in twenty twenty two. How many 307 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: of us look for ways to stay cool at night 308 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: when we're sleeping, body naturally gives off a lot of heat. 309 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: Having a pillow made with fabric that utilizes temperature regulating 310 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: thread is a game changer, and that's what the My 311 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: Pillow two point zero is all about.

Clay Buck talking back in Clay 325 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: Travis Buck Sexton Show. So video out there of Joe 326 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: Biden leaving Europe. He tripped going up the stairs again, 327 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: and Buck, you and I were texting early this morning, 328 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: along with producer Ali and our crew. There's a story 329 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: in Politico about Joe Biden. They're starting to get nervous 330 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: because he hasn't officially announced. We're basically to March. I 331 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: think Joe Biden's gonna announce in April. I would be 332 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: stunned if he doesn't run. But I do think it's 333 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: worth noting this. When you watch Joe Biden walk and 334 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: even to lay a wreath at Ukraine, or you see, 335 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: as you just did in the last forty five minutes 336 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: or so, as he is climbing the stairs of Air 337 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: Force one, he falls again. This is a guy who 338 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: cannot walk. And I don't know about you, Buck, but 339 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: when I watch him walk across the White House lawn 340 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: to go get on a helicopter, I think to myself 341 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: every step it feels like it may lead to him 342 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: falling face first. And so I just have this question 343 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: for you. I think we both agree on the cognitive 344 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: dementia front. He's not very good, obviously, and he's getting 345 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: worse in the wake of what we already saw from Fetterman. 346 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: Is there anything physically that could happen for Biden where 347 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: Democrats would say he can't be our nominee short of 348 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: massive stroke and he's hospitalized for months or something of 349 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: that magnitude. In other words, the debilitating behavior in press 350 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: conferences and spoken events, the fact that he's tripping and 351 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: falling all over himself, the fact that he can barely walk. 352 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: Is there anything that adds up here? And also for 353 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: people out there who are persuadable voters, do you think 354 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: the physical frailty weighs in their mind in terms of 355 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: who who they end up voting for. So I just 356 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: saw this video of him going up the stairs, and 357 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: to me, the way he moves just regularly is what 358 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: you would view as concerned. Look, I have stumbled going 359 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: up you know, airplane stairs before too, right. It's not 360 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't wipe out or anything. It doesn't look you know, 361 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: he just he has a quick stumble. But it is 362 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: just a reminder everything. I think there's a hypersensitivity around 363 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: this because well, you just see the guy walking and 364 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: you're thinking, is he gonna be okay? Yeah? And that's 365 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: walking in the grass out in front of the White 366 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: House after getting off the helicopter. Um no, my My 367 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: thesis on this has been, and it has been really 368 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: the entire time that Biden has been president, that as 369 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: long as the Democrat apparatus feels like it has the 370 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: machinery in place to deliver an election win, they will. 371 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: They would roll Joe by and out in a wheelchair 372 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: on oxygen tank, you know, only able to mutter a 373 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: few words and say, don't worry, he'll be fine any day. 374 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: Now vote for Joe Biden. I do not think that 375 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: they have any You know, you've been one hundred percent 376 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: right on this because I really thought there's no way 377 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: that they are going to be able to run Joe Biden. 378 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: In twenty four after the midterms, I came on and 379 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: I said I was wrong on that. I think they 380 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: are going to run them. You've been steadfast that there's 381 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: no way they're walking away from him, and so far 382 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: you've been right. But when you see these stumbles, do 383 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: you think that they register with people who are persuadable 384 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: to vote? Because I think to your point, yes, anybody 385 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: can trip and fall, anybody can stumble going up and downstairs. 386 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: It happens. But when it's a reflection of a larger 387 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: concern that so many already have. It makes it echoes 388 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: and reverberates in a way that it wouldn't for a 389 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: fifty year old guy who trips. I think that people 390 00:22:54,359 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: now vote based upon what they think the machinery of 391 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: the party will do, much more so than on an 392 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: individual leadership will done that for Joe Biden up to 393 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: this point, and I think that there's there's a belief 394 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: that it doesn't really matter whether it's Biden or one 395 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: of his immediate aids, or it's somebody in the White 396 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: House sphere who's making these calls as long as the 397 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Democrat platform is being pursued. And this is what I've 398 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: said all along, you really get the same. How different 399 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: does anybody think a Bernie Sanders presidency would be from 400 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: what we've seen with Joe Biden up to this point. 401 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the rhetoric would be a little a little crazier, 402 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: but the actual policies, the spending, the way that he 403 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: speaks about a whole range of issues, all the stuff 404 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: about the middle class would it would be quite similar. 405 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: And so I think that's why you get to this 406 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: point where one I think that people on the Democrat 407 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: side believe, and perhaps rightly, it doesn't even matter who's 408 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: in charge as long as the Democrats in charge, because 409 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: you get the same outcome, because there's no longer any 410 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: belief that there's a leader here. It's just we're in charge, 411 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: the sort of grand democrat we is in charge. And 412 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: that's what I think is going to propel Joe Biden 413 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: forty know, there was this piece in Politico which you 414 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: and I were sending around this morning that was saying, oh, 415 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: there's some people who were saying that, you know, maybe 416 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: maybe he's having second thoughts, because he hasn't if if 417 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: that was serious, I still don't believe that at all. 418 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: They would have to be preparing the public for the 419 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: transfer essentially of power in office that would have to 420 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: occur to his air apparent. And the only person that 421 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: that could really be realistically now, as we all know, 422 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: is Kamala Harris, which also makes sense because she's the 423 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: vice president. But even beyond that, to pull Kamala across 424 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: the finish line only way this could be interesting. What 425 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden has decided that he were going to 426 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: step down and that for his legacy, he determined Kamala Harris, 427 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: his vice president, had to be the nominee to your point, Buck, 428 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: if he suddenly announced in August or September that he 429 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: wasn't going to run, that would be handing the nomination 430 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: to Kamala Harris on a silver platter. I don't think 431 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: they have as good as strong of a relationship, but 432 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, using a sports analogy, sometimes a head coach 433 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: will decide to step down at a particular time where 434 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: his chosen successor gets the job. I think about Dean Smith, 435 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: who's a legendary coach at the University of North Carolina basketball. 436 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: He wanted Bill Guthridge to take over for him, so 437 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: the way that he chose to step down, or a 438 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: guy like Bob Stoops and he's elevating at the time, 439 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, there is an analogy where you wait till 440 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: a time when it is so impossible to go find 441 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: a new coach that you guarantee who the next person 442 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: is going to be. I don't think the relationship is 443 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: so strong between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that he 444 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: would be willing to do that. But if he suddenly 445 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: announced in August or September, hey, I've decided I'm not 446 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: going to run, that would guarantee that Kamala was the nominee, 447 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: because I don't think the apparatus would be rapid enough 448 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: to shift and be able to go into full on 449 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: effect to get a full campaign otherwise, you know what 450 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Like if he waits till the last moment, 451 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: I just don't think they have that relationship. That's the 452 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: only thing that would make sense if they did. Like 453 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm ninety percent sure that Biden is going 454 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: to run, and the other ten percent would be some 455 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: outside chance health related things so bad. Yeah, I mean, 456 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: that's it though there's no one else. I mean, all 457 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: this stuff about Newsom, I think just one of the headlines, 458 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: what a shock. Gavin Newsom wanted more attention. But I 459 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: would say this as well. You know, we always have 460 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: to remember that what we're seeing now, what you see 461 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: in your game today, and Biden's bellicose speech in Ukraine 462 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: and the way that he speaks about about you know, 463 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: voter suppression and you know Jim Crow two point on 464 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: and all these things. That's the Biden machinery that is governing. 465 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: When we get back into the reelection cycle, and everyone 466 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: listening to this knows this. You don't get that Biden. 467 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna have the oh you know, I'm from Scranton 468 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm just got a lunch pale and I'm here, 469 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: and I kind of sound like I'm from the South 470 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: or maybe the Midwest, even though I'm from Delaware and 471 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: I love working folks in middle class and he'll be 472 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: giving the same preposterous, you know, pseudo folks see speech 473 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: he's been given for forty years, and some people are 474 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: gonna go for it. They're gonna go for it again. 475 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: It works, so you have you know, he's not gonna 476 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: be running as Biden, the guy that we see now. 477 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: He's gonna be running as Oh, you know, I'm just 478 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, kitchen table. You know what's going on with 479 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: the kitchen table issues, and it's you can just play 480 00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: it on a loop. You play it on a loop. 481 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: And I say this because, as absurd as it is, 482 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: Biden is going to be formidable in reelection. I want 483 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: everyone to understand that. I want anywhere to think this 484 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: is going to be a walk in the park for 485 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: any Republican. I don't care who it is. I think Also, 486 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: the question goes into the political calculus, and this is 487 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: a big picture question that I think we'll be debating 488 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: throughout the course of twenty three and into twenty four. 489 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: According to the numbers, we had one one hundred and 490 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: fifty six million people vote in the twenty twenty election. Again, 491 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: according to the numbers, eighty one million for Biden, seventy 492 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: five million for Trump. How much of that is just Trump? 493 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: In other words, if Trump weren't on the ballot, how 494 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: many fewer people would have voted. I think that's a 495 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: really interesting question going forward, because I think everybody can 496 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: recognize Trump was the primary signifying story of twenty twenty. 497 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: What is the primary signifying story of twenty twenty four? 498 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: It should be the incumbent running for reelection Joe Biden? 499 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: Is it if Trump is running against Biden? I think 500 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: it's just worth thinking and what does that due to 501 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: motivation going forward in terms of turnout and everything else. 502 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: I want to turn your attention for a moment here 503 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: to saving lives out there, which you can do right now, 504 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: saving babies lives. In fact, it's important to me personally. 505 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: I know it's important to so many of you in 506 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: this audience because you have already taken action, but there's 507 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: so many more out there. From the pro life community 508 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: who can still pitch in to help with the preborn 509 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: pregnancy network of clinics across the nation. Preborn Clinics are 510 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: the largest provider of free ultrasounds, introducing mothers with unplanned 511 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: pregnancies to their unborn babies. Once that mother hears that heartbeat, 512 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: sees that precious life growing inside of her, she is 513 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: twice as likely by the numbers to choose life for 514 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: that baby. Preborn accomplishes this by private tax deductible donations 515 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: from you the pro life community. Preborn receives zero government funding, 516 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: so their work is completely dependent on us to take action. 517 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: Now I donate to Preborn, I'd ask you to consider 518 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: donating as well. They've rescued over two hundred thousand babies 519 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: and they don't stop there. They provide love, support and 520 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,479 Speaker 1: counseling for up to two years for free. They're saving 521 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: lives and souls. One ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars 522 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: or one hundred and forty dollars if you can spare 523 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: it would rescue possibly five babies lives. So we can 524 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: all save lives today. We can do something right now. 525 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: Dial pound two five zero on your cell phone. And 526 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: say the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero say 527 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: baby and get connected with someone at preborn right away, 528 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: or go to preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn 529 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: dot com slash buc k sponsored by Preborn.

We were 534 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: just talking about Injuria Mitchell and her false questioning of 535 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: Florida well was actually based on Florida Governor ron de Santas, 536 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: but she was questioning Kamala Harris. And this is her 537 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: response to the why that she spread in her question. 538 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: I haven't even heard this yet. Let's listen. In my 539 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: interview last Friday with Vice President Harris, I was imprecise 540 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: in summarizing Governor to Santas's position about teaching slavery in schools. 541 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: Governor to Santas is not opposed to teaching the fact 542 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: of slavery in schools, but he has opposed the teaching 543 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: of an African American studies curriculum as well as the 544 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: use of some authors and source materials that historians and 545 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: teachers say makes it all but impossible for students to 546 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: understand the broader historic and political context behind slavery and 547 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: it's aftermath. In the years since, he didn't think that 548 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: an ap high school course in African American studies should 549 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 1: be focused on CRT and queer theory. That the actual objection. 550 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: Andrea Mitchell is still whining because she said, do we 551 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: have that audio? It's not enough to say I was imprecise. 552 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: Can we play the audio of her again? She specifically 553 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: says that you can't teach slavery and It's aftermath in Florida, 554 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: which is a flagrant Why let's play that audio. I 555 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: think Governor Rhonda Santists not know a Black history and 556 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: a Black experience when he says that slavery and the 557 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: aftermath of slavery should not be taught to Florida school children. 558 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is crazy. So I have a theory, Clay. 559 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: It's always great to try my theories to you in 560 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: real time with you know, a couple of million people listening. 561 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: But here's my theory. I think that because you know, 562 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: you just read the press secretary for Rhonda Santis and 563 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: his response to this if you whatever half an hour ago. 564 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: I think that there's a recognition that the old days 565 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: where Republicans would just show up and get punched in 566 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: the base by the media, that's not going to work, 567 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: specifically with Ron De Santis, meaning he's perfectly comfortable just 568 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: not playing their game now Trump. It's very interesting. Trump 569 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: actually liked to go on offense against the media and 570 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:21,959 Speaker 1: was super effective in using the fake news to his 571 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: benefit in the twenty sixteen election cycle. I think later 572 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: on in his presidency, though, I would have said, I 573 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: think he sat down with the New York Times a 574 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: few too many times. Okay, I do think that that's 575 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: and I believe that people that are ardent Trump supporters 576 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: would agree with that when they see that it's just, 577 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't outsmarting what's her name, Maggie Haberman. 578 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: She was just running hit pieces on him day in 579 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: a day out. I think that De Santists and even 580 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: some other Republicans, they're not going to let this game 581 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: be played the way it used to be. Where where oh, 582 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: NBC News, You'll lie about me and then I'm gonna 583 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: give you an interview a week later, I don't think so, 584 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: because Democrats don't do that. By the way, remembery what 585 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: Fox News host a Democrat debate. They wouldn't let Fox 586 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: News interview Joe Biden before the president before the Super Bowl, 587 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: as is usually the case with the President. By the way, 588 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: Jeremy Redfern at the Santist Campaign already responding once again. 589 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: Andrea Mitchell is imprecise in her description because she relies 590 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: on unnamed historians and teachers. Florida's statute requires the teaching 591 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: of slavery and its aftermath. We just know that queer 592 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: studies has nothing to do with Jim Crowe. Good response there. 593 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: I would also say this, you guys out there listening, No, 594 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: I love Carry Lake. I think Carry Lake is a 595 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: stud campaigner. What she did is something that I've been 596 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: doing for years, and I would encourage every Republican politician 597 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: to do it, and this would include Donald Trump. Any 598 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: interview that you do, put out the full transcript of 599 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: the interview. Don't allow yourself to talk to a reporter 600 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: for thirty forty five minutes an hour and have them 601 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: pull three sentences out of that interview and craft a 602 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: story based on it. If I talk to a reporter 603 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: for a story, I want the full transcript of my 604 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: story recorded by my team, which is what I do 605 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: at out kick, so that we can post the full transcript. 606 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: You guys know, I talk to you every day for 607 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: three hours. I'm not running from any of my any 608 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: of my opinions. But I don't want somebody to talk 609 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: to me for thirty minutes or an hour and then 610 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: be able to craft their version of what I said. 611 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: I want the audience to be able to see exactly 612 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: what I said, and I would encourage every Republican politician 613 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: to adopt that as well. Speaking of Trump, Clay he 614 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: has I think had a real moment here making a 615 00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 1: strong move going out to East Palestine, Ohio, to visit 616 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: with that town the aftermath of that chemical train derailment disaster. 617 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: He's getting there before Mayor Pete. He's going to be 618 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: showing solidarity with the people of Ohio affected by this. 619 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a strong move. I think we should 620 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: talk about just what the implications of this are and 621 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: also where's the Biden administration. Well, Joe's tripping going up 622 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: the stairs, but yes, we're going to talk about East Palestine. 623 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: Trump on his way there, right now, and what the 624 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: impact is of the Midwest as we all start to 625 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 1: turn towards next year and the next election
