Appreciate all of you hanging 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: out with us across this great country and this great land. 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: If you have missed the first couple of hours of 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: the show, well you need to go download the podcast 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: you can make sure you don't miss anything. We've been 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: talking about airline pilots at Southwest, John Gruden out at 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: the NFL canceled culture, what exactly is going on there? 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: Vaccine mandates all over the country, but some governors standing 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: up against them. Virginia governmentorial candidate Glenn Junkin was on 12 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: with us in the second hour. Much more to come 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: from today's program, but for those of you who just 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: heard the end of the second hour of the program, 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: great question that Dean in Orange County, Texas asked about 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: how all of this legally surrounding COVID vaccine mandates is 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: going to play out, And I will synthesize his question 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: in a kind of a way for people who might 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: not have heard his question. To close out our number 20 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: two we didn't have an ability to answer it. In 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: twenty seconds because it's a complex question. But he basically said, 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: how are federal vaccine mandates from Joe Biden going to 23 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: play out in confrontation and conflict with the opposite and 24 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: opposition to a COVID vaccine mandate which is being implemented, 25 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: for instance, in states like Texas by Greg Abbott. The 26 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: general rule, and I'll say this, by the way, they 27 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: tell you when you graduate from law school that you 28 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: could say I remember they said this at my graduation 29 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: about twenty years ago. The speaker, the dean of the 30 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: law school said, three years ago, when someone asked you 31 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: a legal question, you could throw up your hands and 32 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: say I have no idea. And he said, and now, 33 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: after spending three years studying the law and diving into 34 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: all of the complexities and becoming a learned legal scholar, 35 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: somebody can ask you a question about the law, and 36 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: after three years of legal education, you can say that depends. 37 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: Which is one of the things that drives people crazy 38 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: about lawyers, is it's really about analyzing probabilities as it 39 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: pertains to judges, as it pertains to cases. So the 40 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: general rule here is federal law would supersede state law 41 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: right in general, unless the power has specifically been restricted 42 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: to the States, we do not have a great deal 43 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: of legal history as it pertains to mandatory vaccines from 44 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: the federal government. My general rule here is I do 45 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: not believe Joe Biden has the constitutional authority to mandate 46 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: vaccines as expansively as he is attempting to do. Okay, 47 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he has that ability. And the conspiracy 48 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: theorist in me, as we said earlier, Buck is saying, 49 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: the reason why we still haven't seen these OSHA regulations 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: is because the Biden administration knows that, and they're trying 51 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: to drag this out as long as possible and get 52 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: companies and CEOs to start to implement their vaccine mandates 53 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: before they get struck down by the course. Well, because 54 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: right now, it's all what you saw in New York, 55 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: for example, was in advance of mandate compliance from a 56 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: lot of people. And clearly the more they can get 57 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: that from the companies with over one hundred employees, the 58 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: happier they're going to be, because they've obviously added to 59 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: their vaccinated numbers, more momentum behind the program, and they 60 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: get to this point where they start to say, oh, look, 61 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: Look how well it's working already, and we didn't even 62 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: have to start finding companies whatever it is fifteen or 63 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: thirty thousand or you know, huge amounts of money. If 64 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: you don't comply with this ocean regulation it comes forward. 65 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: It's also just a reminder. You know, we've talked in 66 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: the past about government overreach, and I refer to the 67 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: many headed hydra of DC statism. Right, DC deciding that 68 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be the authoritarian body for the rest 69 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: of the country. Look at what we have been put 70 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: through over the course of COVID. We have had the 71 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: CDC think that it can tell people, oh, you're the 72 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: contract that you have and the state law that governs 73 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: it when it comes to your home and or a 74 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: home that you own, rather and your ability to have 75 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: contracts enforced and kick people out if they don't pay 76 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: the rent. We're just going to abrogate that because we're 77 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: the CDC. Right, you have so many of these government 78 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: bodies that I've been coming out with guidance, regulation and dates, dictates, 79 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: and now you're gonna have Osha coming along and saying, 80 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: if you don't make every employee get a shot, we're 81 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: going to bankrupt you. That's the kind of stuff, Clay 82 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: that worries people when they see the government acting in 83 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: that way, and then when you add on top of 84 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: it that they want to spend trillions of dollars additionally 85 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: the reconciliation package. Can we remind everybody of this Pelosi 86 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: thing or are you down to tell everybody about this one? Well, 87 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: let me just quickly say, I think what we're going 88 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: to end up is a conflict in circuits that's going 89 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: to take a long time to play out. There are 90 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot of different circuit courts out there. Some will 91 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: say one thing, others will say another, and ultimately the 92 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: Supreme Court may well weigh in. The problem is, by 93 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: the time many of these cases get too high level 94 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: courts to make determinations, COVID's gonna be over moot. So 95 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be very moot in terms 96 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: of where the courts end up weighing in, which is 97 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: what I think the Biden administration and is relying on, 98 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: just like with the COVID vaccine moratorium. Now, buck, we 99 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: got Nancy Pelosi, this monster bill that is out there, 100 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the IRS looking into every bank account. I don't think 101 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: this is getting enough attention. You and I talked about 102 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: it some last week. There is a proposition here that 103 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: would allow the government to look at every track transaction 104 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: of six hundred dollars or more inside of your bank 105 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: account and an effort to determine whether or not you 106 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: might be skipping out on your obligations from a tax 107 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: perspect Pelosi was asked about this today. Let's remember just 108 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Severn understands. Yes, obviously the government and I've actually written 109 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: up some of these warrants. I know how this stuff goes. 110 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: The government can see your financial information if it's subpoenas 111 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: it right, but there are some requirements for anything over 112 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. There's also these requirements about structuring where 113 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: if you have cash, if you have cash that you 114 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: are trying to they say you're trying to evade requirements 115 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: by staying to the ten thousand dollars and you're having 116 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: cash withdrawals all the time or deposits. It's actually a 117 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: criminal offense, believe it or not. So there are some 118 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: of these weird rules. Six hundred dollars is something that 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: you would think wouldn't be of a high enough government 120 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: priority that they would want just access because in the 121 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: normal course of business, the IRS wants to see what 122 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: you're up to. Nancy Pelosi made it clear today that 123 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: she disagrees. One of the p fours in the Buildback 124 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Better bill that's been proposed is IRS cracking down and 125 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: some undet taxes. Banks are starting to get calls from 126 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: customers and they're reporting these calls. They're concerned about this 127 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: tracking of the transactions that is greater than six hundred dollars. 128 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: So Americans are starting to be worried about this. Do 129 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: you think that this pay for of giving the IRS 130 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: more money to fact down on one page chases is 131 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: going to stay in the reconciliation? What do you sit 132 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: to Americans who are concerned about that? Yes? What, with 133 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: all due respect, the plural of anecdote is not data. 134 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: I've said that before here. Yes, there are concerns that 135 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: some people have. But if people are breaking the law 136 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: and not paying their taxes, one way to track them 137 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: is through the banking measure. I think six hundred, but 138 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: that's a negotiation that will go on as to what 139 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: the amount is. But yes, Buck, what's interesting here is 140 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: there have been arguments in past years that ten thousand 141 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: dollars is too low because there have been and for 142 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: people out there again, I want to reiterate you pointed 143 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: out too. I think there's a lot of people that 144 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: don't necessarily know that all transactions of ten thousand dollars 145 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: or more are supposed to be reported to the IRS, 146 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: with the idea being, hey, that allows us because there's 147 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: relatively in the grand scheme of things, most people are 148 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: not putting forth transactions of ten thousand dollars or more 149 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: on a superregular basis. There's been an argument that that 150 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: number has been too low, Buck, But to draw it 151 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: all the way down to six hundred dollars, I mean, 152 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: would basically give the IRS access to almost every person 153 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: in America's bank account at some point in time, Clay, 154 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: they want seventy billion dollars for additional IRS agent funding. 155 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the kind of thing that you 156 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: would expect Americans would hear and say, you gotta be 157 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: kidding me, right, Yes, I mean the one. And I'm 158 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: sure we have some constitutional conservative IRS agents listening who 159 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: are very fair minded. Everything else probably not a lot. 160 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: In fact, you worked for the IRS, most of them 161 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: are going to be Democrats. I'm willing to bet you 162 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: the IRS is eighty to ninety percent Democrat. By I'm 163 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: just guessing by the way, I don't know, but I 164 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: would guess that's the case. If you look at federal 165 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: government contributions in the Hillary Trump election, you know there 166 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: was about ninety five or I think it might have 167 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: even ninety seven percent of federal civil servants donated to 168 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. So just remember, the IRS is like a 169 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: giant DNC superpack in some ways in terms of their politics. 170 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: Seventy billion dollars for them of the the next ten 171 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: years to hire thousands and thousands more people. It's not 172 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: like we don't have enough tax issues and concerns, is buck. 173 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: We've already caught the IRS abusing their authority when it 174 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: came to examining conservative five or one C three basically 175 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: taxed exempt organizations and holding them to a higher standard 176 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: than they were others. This was the Obama Department of 177 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: Justice investigation, if I remember correctly, of the IRS that 178 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: uncovered this. It was a wildly biased process. What happened 179 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: was Lois Learner actually came forward in a speech back 180 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven into twenty twelve saying, yeah, we kind 181 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: of had She basically front ran the story by saying, oh, 182 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, we had some issues with these tax exempt 183 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: conservative organizations because it was going to come out, and 184 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: then Lois Learner became the target of a lot of 185 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: the ire But they tried to tell us it was 186 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: just some low level agents in the I forget the 187 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: Cincinnati office or something. There was some initial story that 188 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: turned out to not be true. This was federal practice 189 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: across the country. There are people in Texas, there are 190 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: people in other states whose nonprofits were not being approved 191 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: and who even more insidiously, were very strangely audited, which 192 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: for a nonprofit, especially some of these not big money nonprofits, 193 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: would seem quite strange. But Clay, the Democrats like using 194 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: they like using the tax code for social engineering, and 195 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: they like using tax enforcers as a political weapon, and 196 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: that's what they want to do. We know it's already happened. 197 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: So how in the world could six hundred dollars with 198 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: the government basically looking over your shoulder into your bank 199 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: account time after time after time for virtually every bank 200 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: account in the country, a huge percentage of them. Buck, 201 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: I would think have transactions of six hundred dollars or more. 202 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: You're paying your mortgage, you're paying your car payment. A 203 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: lot of people are paying six hundred dollars who would 204 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: never be paying ten thousand dollars. It's an unbelievable overreach 205 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: of federal power and an invasion, in my opinion, of 206 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: virtually every American's privacy. And notice how Pelosi is just 207 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: almost indignant at the notion that we shouldn't have a 208 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: supercharged IRS under a very politicized look at what the 209 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: DOJ just did with the Attorney General just put out 210 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to parents who speak at like the 211 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: school board showed up at my school board. Way, if 212 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: the terrorists, if the FBI guys and the wind breakers 213 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: show up for you, I still know some people will 214 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: get you out of the working. But if that, look 215 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: at what the d J did, you think the IRS, 216 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: which is able to in many ways too far because 217 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: you have to not everyone has to interact with the DOJ. 218 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: Right the DJ, you got a letter from the DOJ. 219 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: It's a bad day. You're dealing with the IRS every 220 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: year to have your documents. You're dealing with them on 221 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: a regular basis if you own a business, etc. So 222 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: this is a this is a huge story that people 223 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: need to understand and focus on more, because it's one 224 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: of those things that they're just kind of packing into 225 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: this massive reconciliation bill. They're given everybody free stuff clay 226 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: while they're getting the Stazi like irs to do their bidding, 227 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: and that a lot of people aren't even noticing this 228 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: buck credit for that question. But I think there's a 229 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: lot of people out there listening to us right now 230 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: because there's so much craziness in this reconciliation bill that 231 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: this hasn't even gotten that much attention so far. It's 232 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: human nature that pushes us to protect what we've worked 233 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: so hard to earn and save. There's something about remembering 234 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: the challenges we took on as we earned that money 235 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: that motivates us to protect it. So when we see 236 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: rapidly increasing home prices, gas prices, and any number of 237 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: other inflation indicators, we know the value of our dollars 238 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: going to shrink. That's when gold becomes important in the equation. 239 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: Putting some of your hard earned money into gold has 240 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: always proven to be a good hedge against the shrinking dollar. 241 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: And when you can invest in gold and take physical 242 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: possession of it, that's even bet you're always going to 243 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: be able to sell it and in the meantime it's 244 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: likely to appreciate when the dollar isn't If you think 245 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: buying real gold, I'm talking about the con you can 246 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: hold in your hand, actual physical gold. If you think 247 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: that's complicated, it's not. My friends at the Oxford Gold 248 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: Group are who you need to call. They'll explain everything 249 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: to you.

They used to 257 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: talk a lot about Hillary Clinton's likability problem. That was 258 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: a constant conversation in politics. Even Democrats knew it wasn't 259 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: as you. Welcome back to Clay and Buck show. This 260 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: is Buck Clay out in LA. I'm here at NYC, 261 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: deep behind Blue State lines. Now, mister Travis, Welcome to 262 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: my world, buddy, Welcome to the revolution. Like I said, 263 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I was awfully proud of myself yesterday for being able 264 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: to get a coffee without wear a mask. I'm involved in. 265 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm an anti mask rebel here in New York City 266 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: all the time. People know me the Maskless bandit they 267 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: call me, or at least I call myself that when 268 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: no one's around. So here's the reality with Kamala Harris. 269 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: She did this video and it's amazing because it is 270 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: so cringe inducing and the whole point of the video 271 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: is to cast as a cast Kamala Harris as a personable, easygoing, 272 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: likable political figure. This is part of a YouTube series 273 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: that they're doing with They're called Get Curious with Vice 274 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: President Harris. I mean, just Clay, we'll come back to this, 275 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: we'll talk more about it. Just so you can kind 276 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: of get a sense though of this. They're making a 277 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: video series, folks, to try to make it seem like people, 278 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: let's just be honest, like Vice President Harris, like enjoy 279 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: her company, want to want to talk to her, be 280 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: around her, and that she's good with children. That was 281 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: a point of this video. Part of the point of it. 282 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: Here she is talking about how amazing in space is. 283 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: I just love the idea of exploring the unknown. And 284 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: then there's other things that we just haven't figured out 285 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: our discoverage yet to think about so much that's out 286 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: there that we still have to learn. Like, I love that. 287 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: I love that, and so I'm very excited about the 288 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: Space Council. We're gonna learn so much. You guys are 289 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: gonna see You're gonna literally see the creators on the 290 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: Moon with your own eye, with your own I'm telling you, 291 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: it is gonna be unbelievable. I mean, I've been designed, 292 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: and the people, the smart people and scientists and the 293 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: engineers came up with the idea that if you build 294 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: something that looks like that, you can see the sun clay. 295 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: I've seen the creators of the moon in my whole 296 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: life by looking at it. And the same thing with 297 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: the sun. By the way, why is she actually don't 298 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: look at the sun? Everybody, bad move. Pro tip, don't 299 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: look directly at the sun clay. She not only is 300 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: she talking to a bunch of teenagers like therefore their 301 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: child actors, they hired actors super weird and anybody, look, 302 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: who has ever filmed anything knows that they take the 303 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: best cuts. So that what you just heard is a 304 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: desperate effort to humanize Kamala Harris and instead you watch 305 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: it and just think she is so unbelievably inauthentic in 306 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: everything that she does. And but I don't know about you, 307 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: but what I see work is authenticity. Are you who 308 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: you claim to be? And I think what we know 309 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: about Kamala Harris is she's one of the most inauthentic 310 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: people that has ever ever been in an office of 311 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: this height.

If you are insane and 334 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: you talked about Buck, I was out, but you talked 335 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: about doctor Fauci. I wanted to make sure people who 336 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: might have missed this over the weekend heard it again. 337 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci memorably we talked about this last week, refused 338 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: to say that people could get together for Christmas, and 339 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: then said no, no, no. People took me out of context, 340 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: even though you could hear his entire answer. You know, 341 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: the Biden administration polling on COVID is getting really bad. 342 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: When suddenly Fauci came out and said, hey, I encourage 343 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: everybody to go trick or treat. Listen to this It's 344 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: amazing how much difference thus science made in a week 345 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: as it pertained to Christmas versus Halloween. Halloween is just 346 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: around the corner. A lot of parents are wondering how 347 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: to trick or treat? Do they hand out candy? Do 348 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: they walk around with their children? What's your guidance? I 349 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: think that particularly if you're vaccinated, but you can get 350 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: out there, you're outdoors for the most part, at least 351 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: when my children were out there doing trick or treating 352 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: and enjoy it. I mean, this is a time that 353 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: children love. It's it's a very important part of the 354 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: year for children. I know my children enjoyed it. So 355 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean, particularly if you're vaccinated. If you're not vaccinated, again, 356 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: think about it, that you'll add an extra degree of 357 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: protection to yourself and your children, and your family and 358 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: your community. So it's a good time to reflect on 359 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: why it's important to get vaccinated. Grandpa Faucie all of 360 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: a sudden makes apparence. Isn't that amazing. It's like they 361 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: sat down with him and said, hey, doctor Fauci, you're pulling. 362 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: You're becoming like the Grinch who stole Christmas. Really, that's 363 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: the way a lot of people responded to it. So 364 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: suddenly Fauci is the evuncular, likable grandpa talking about his 365 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: own kids at Halloween. Now, look, I've got three kids 366 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: and we did Halloween completely normally last year. God forbid, 367 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit back and make a decision about whether 368 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 1: my kids can go trick or treating based on what 369 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci says. But Buck, do you find this staggering 370 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: that a week after he's questioning whether people can get 371 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: together with their families for Christmas, that he suddenly is 372 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: the really friendly grandpa who wants everybody to go out 373 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: and have a great time for Halloween. No, we actually 374 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit yesterday, Clay. This is 375 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: what you would expect from a politician, and that's what 376 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: Fauci actually is. This is whatever needs to understand. Fauci 377 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: is a guy pretending to be about public health and 378 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: the data when really he is the chief COVID mitigation 379 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: lockdown coms guy for the Democrat Party. And he even 380 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: managed to pee that during the Trump administration, and which 381 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: brings up a maybe they should have gotten rid of 382 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: Faucci when they could have, But at the time it 383 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: was a harder decision, a harder call, and we didn't 384 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: have as much data to show. Just I think how 385 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: partisan Fauci has been willing to be all along. I 386 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: think we've seen this now beyond any doubt. But Clay, 387 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: what is it that Fauci is going to say at 388 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: this point when you look at the realities of the 389 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: data for Florida. You've been talking about the caseload in general, 390 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: way way down, but just Florida schools mask mandates. There 391 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: is a piece floating around. I'm trying to where it was, 392 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: compiling dozens of peer viewed studies where there is actually 393 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: it's actually there's a control group. They're actually doing a 394 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: scientific study the way it's meant to be done, and 395 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: they show that masks don't work. And you won't you 396 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: won't hear about this because they keep this going, and 397 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna keep it going until finally they tell us 398 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: there's the all clear, which I think will be probably 399 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: next summer from the Fauciites, and then they'll be returns 400 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: of masking every so often. But Fauci, What're you gonna 401 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: do at this point? Clay? I mean, how does he 402 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: get off the tiger? So to speak? How does he 403 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: decide that enough is enough? His only thing is going 404 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: to be doubling down this winter. That's the only movie's got. Yeah, 405 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: And you know what's interesting, Buck, we were talking about 406 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: this off the air. I think you made a good 407 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: point for people out there who don't We just basically 408 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: have a three hour straight running show. Some of the 409 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: stuff gets on the air, some of the stuff does not, obviously, 410 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: but we're discussing everything. The most recent data the New 411 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: York Times has up because you won't hear this anywhere else, 412 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: and you have to scroll all the way down to 413 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: the bottom of the states. Florida right now, in the 414 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: past two weeks, Buck has seen a sixty five percent 415 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: decline in COVID cases. And right now the only state 416 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: in the nation that has a lower COVID rate is Connecticut. 417 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: Every other state the other forty eight. I don't want 418 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: to go Barack Obama and mess up how many different 419 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: states there are. The other forty eight states are high 420 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: or in terms of COVID infection. This is why they're 421 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: terrified of Ron de Santis because without a mask mandate 422 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: anywhere in schools or anywhere in the state, and without 423 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: a COVID vaccine mandate. The virus has come plummeting down, 424 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: and Florida may well slide behind Connecticut and be the 425 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: lowest infected state with COVID in the entire country. And 426 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: overall the numbers are coming down. I speak for you 427 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: and me and both everyone like we wish and hope 428 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: that the numbers are going to continue to come down. 429 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: During the summer, we're skept I mean, during the winter, 430 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: we're skeptical, but we hope that's going to be. I 431 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: hope that we have a nothing burger when it comes 432 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: to COVID this winter. I know everyone listening to this 433 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: does as well. And I say that knowing first of all, 434 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: most importantly, as we could all assume it's about we 435 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: want people to be healthy and live long, happy lives 436 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: without anyone losing a family member or being at risk themselves, right, 437 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: that's point one. Point two is that that includes even 438 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: the reality of Joe Biden. If in fact we have 439 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: a get ready for it. No one's gonna like hearing this, 440 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: but ever knows it's true if we have a very 441 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: quiet winter when it comes to COVID, and who knows, 442 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: and I don't pretend to know. One way or the other. 443 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm fifty fifty on it. There's a part of me 444 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: it feels like it could be a mess. A part 445 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: of me it feels like we've had so much natural 446 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: immunity and vaccines and boosters and everything else that how 447 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: bad can it really get unless there's a mutation or 448 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: a variant that evades all this stuff. But Clay, it'll 449 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: be enormously helpful to the Biden administration and everything that 450 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: we've seen the fact that more people have died from 451 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: COVID under Biden in a year than died under Trump 452 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: in his last year, all that data will be pushed 453 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: aside and they'll say, see, it took a little longer. 454 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: But Biden and I don't want everyon to get ready 455 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: for the Psychologically, they're going to tell you eventually, after 456 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: the house has burned down entirely, so to speak, they're 457 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: going to wander around the embers and say, we put 458 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 1: the fire out. And that's going to be the approach 459 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: from the Fauchiites and Biden when it comes to COVID, 460 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: when it finally has burned for the population truly, and 461 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: we've got to hurt immunity because of natural immunity, and 462 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: vaccines and therapeutics. Then they'll turn around and say, just 463 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: like we told you, it'll be the gaslighting to end 464 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: all gaslighting. Get ready for it. We told you masks 465 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: and social distancing would work. Right, you guys finally listened, 466 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: and you double masked, and you social distance harder than 467 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: ever before. And it finally worked. By the way, Mike 468 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: even Mike Lindell, he's the inventor of my pillow.

We 514 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: saw one of the most epic college football games in 515 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: recent memory, with Texas A and M pulling off a 516 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: big upset over Alabama. Met lots of our listener did 517 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: my role time Clay defeated my new team. Yeah, you 518 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: know what, I met and continue to meet a lot 519 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: of you out there who are listeners. We're going to 520 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: be at the Kentucky Georgia game in Athens, which is 521 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: right outside of Atlanta, this weekend, so I'm flying back 522 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: across the country to Atlanta and excited for that. But man, 523 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: just a lot of fun to get to meet everybody 524 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: who's listening and everybody out there. The amount of people 525 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: buckets really gratifying. I know you saw this too, who 526 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: come up and just say, hey, thank you for saying 527 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: what so many of us want to say but feel 528 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: like we can't say for fear of losing our jobs. 529 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: That is, that's one of the most common things I 530 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: hear from people out there. There's a great deal of 531 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: terror that is just descended upon the country over people's 532 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: jobs being at risk in this canceled culture, identity politics 533 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,239 Speaker 1: laden absurd America universe that we've created. We are your 534 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: spartans in the Phalanx, friends, we are your unsinkable aircraft 535 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: carrier of freedom. That's how we roll here on the 536 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck Show. Jensaki disagrees, which is of course, oh, 537 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: of course she does. We just have this for you 538 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: because they had their press conference and we are right 539 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: live with you, as you know, of bringing you breaking 540 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: news throughout the entire three hours of the show every 541 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: day as it happens, and sir enough, Press Secretary Jensaki, 542 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: it came up that she was asked about the remember 543 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: Ronda Santis has banned most but not all. I believe 544 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: I need to check on this. Vaccine mandates of any 545 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: kind in the state. I think there's still some private 546 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: sector mandates that can go to effect. They're looking at 547 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: how they want to handle that, but certainly no government mandates, 548 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: including at the local level. Texas has said no vaccine 549 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: mandates period by executive order. Here is Jen Psaki speaking 550 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: on the issue. Well, I think it's pretty clear when 551 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: you make a choice that's against all public health information 552 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: and data out there, that it's not based on what 553 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: is in the interests of the people you are governing. 554 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: It's perhaps in the interests of your own politics. Oh, 555 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: it's not in the interest of That would be news 556 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: to these so many people we know play who have 557 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: already lost their jobs. There so many people who are 558 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: willing to lose their jobs go to the mat to 559 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: avoid the shot. She's like, Ah, they don't even they're 560 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: not even like they don't even care about this stuff 561 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, which has been more political with 562 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: COVID than anything you could possibly imagine, accusing the governors 563 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: of Texas and Florida who are actually looking at the 564 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,239 Speaker 1: data and making rational public policy decisions as opposed to 565 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: trotting out doctor Fauci and trying to cancel Christmas. This 566 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,959 Speaker 1: is so absurd, and again I just think we need 567 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: to keep fighting this battle in this way. Buck. Remember, 568 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: what they are doing in these states is just giving 569 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: people the right to decide whether or not to get 570 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: a vaccine. They're not saying like trying to prohibit the 571 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: vacantem mandate. It's not anti Sure, everyone needs to understand 572 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: anti vacs would be I whether, by the way anti 573 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 1: vaxx really should meet or has meant. There's never I 574 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: never support vaccines. I'm opposed to vaccines a general yes 575 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: that that's not even really no one really holds that position. 576 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean there's a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny minority people 577 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: that actually think that. There's some but I mean it's 578 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: very very few anti COVID vacs. There's more people that 579 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: are opposed to it, you know, and all they're just like, 580 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't like this vaccine, I don't trust it. It's dangerous. 581 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: There are people who say that. But the fight that 582 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: we're having right now in the country is just about 583 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen vaccine mandates. Get the shot or you lose 584 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: your job. Even if you have natural immunity, even if 585 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: you have a religious objection, even if you go down 586 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: the list. That's what people are opposed to, and that 587 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: Jensaki in this White House, it's not surprising they can't 588 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: engage with the actual argument. So what they do is 589 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: pretend they're arguing against something else. They create straw men 590 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: and then act like pyromaniacs. That's what they do. And 591 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 1: by the way, Buck, the other aspect of this is 592 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: there are many adults out there who are fine with 593 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: getting the vaccine themselves, but are opposed to mandates in 594 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: general and in particular may well be opposed to mandates 595 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: on children, which is where the fight I think is 596 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: headed when you look at, for instance, Governor Gavin Newsome 597 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: and trying to mandate again the COVID vaccine for kids 598 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: and the vaccination conversation when it comes to kids. Let's 599 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: also remember that as people age, they are making different 600 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: decisions about their health. There's a lot of drugs, you know, 601 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: just look at any big Pharmer commercial pretty much it's 602 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: on TV. There are a lot of drugs and people 603 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: to take, especially as they get older, and they know 604 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: that there are going to be side effects and trade offs, 605 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: but on balance, at that stage of life, it's worth 606 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: it in some case. You know, obviously I'm speaking in 607 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: generalities here, but it's worth it to take something even 608 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: though there may be some side effects to or there 609 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: may be some challenges that come along with it, because 610 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: of how it enhances your quality of life, because you're 611 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: also not expecting to necessarily be dealing with it for 612 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: another or forty years. When you're five years old, the 613 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: whole the notion of side effects and long term effects 614 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: on all these things is an entirely different calculation than 615 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: when you're eighty five. Not to mention that we know 616 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 1: COVID is massively age stratified in terms of danger, so 617 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't think this gets enough attention. Ninety five percent 618 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: of people sixty five and older have gotten the COVID vaccine. 619 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: That's because many of those people are making rational choices 620 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: based on their particular dangers. But the stratification of age 621 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: range challenges with COVID. A five year old is not 622 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: in danger from COVID. A sixty five year old is 623 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: far more likely to be in danger. So let people 624 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: make rational choices based on the dangers they face. That's 625 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: what I want the right to do. As a parent, 626 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: my parents are under a lot different danger than my 627 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: first grader. Right, they shouldn't have the same medical policies 628 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: in place as it pertains to health. It's madness that 629 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: we continue to make the amazing argument that they should. 630 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: We wish we could take. You know, look, there's so 631 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: many calls we wish we'd take, and we didn't get 632 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: to that many calls today. We took a good number, 633 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,760 Speaker 1: and we'll obviously get to open line Friday and really 634 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: let it rip and make sure that people across the 635 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: country can weigh and clay. We could just spend three 636 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: hours taking calls about people talking about the situation they're 637 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: facing in their state with their business with the mandate. 638 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: People are very fired up about this because I also 639 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: think we can't look at the vaccine mandate in a vacuum. 640 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: You have to look at it in the context of 641 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: what has been done up to this point. The freedoms 642 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: that have already been trampled on, the overreach that the 643 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: government at the federal and even at the state level 644 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: has engaged in places across the country, the shutdown of churches, 645 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: the completely unconstitutional eviction more tournament there's such a huge 646 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: list of things. We say, how are they ever able 647 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: to think that they should be able to do this? 648 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: And it's in that framework that I think you consider 649 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: the vaccine mandates and say, okay, well, if we can't 650 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: draw the line here, where do we draw the line? 651 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: And thank you to the Governor Greg Abbott of Texas 652 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 1: and Ron DeSantis and Florida, and I know there are others, 653 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: and also we had a lot of calls from pilots, Buck, 654 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: Southwest pilots and others who are standing up, including I 655 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: want to give a credit to Southwest Airline CEO Gary Kelly, 656 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: who spoke out probably the most prominent ceo I've seen 657 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: Buck and said he doesn't agree with the COVID vaccine mandate, 658 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: Will others continue to do so?

We'll continue to talk about that tomorrow 660 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: as we get ready for Wednesday's program.
