We're gonna get to that in 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: a moment. But first, you're writing this morning on the 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: situation with the transgender pen swimmer who had a three 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: second win in the five hundred. This story still not 20 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: being covered very much in the world of sports, because 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: it proves that a biological man who decides to become 22 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: a woman has a substantial competitive advantage, at least based 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: on the results so far, I believe the pen transgender 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: swimmer's biological mail one by three seconds in the five 25 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: hundred pre Lambs, What can you tell us about the 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: latest on this story and where it's headed. Well, Clay, 27 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: we have Leah Thomas, the transgender pen swimmer, as you said, 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: with a swam a four. He he swam a four 29 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: thirty three eighty two and that was Yes, it was 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: three seconds faster than the next the next qualifier, Erica Sullivan. 31 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: So we have a we have a situation that is 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: now the fastest time in the five hundred freestyle in 33 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: the nation this season, even faster than Brook Forty, who 34 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: is Pat forty, sports illustrator writer, faster than his daughter 35 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: who won Clay. She won a silver medal at the 36 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: Olympics in August for the four by two hundred freestyle 37 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: team for the United States. So not only is Leah 38 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: Thomas dominating the swimming, Leah Thomas is beating Olympic silver 39 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: medalist Clay. That is where we're at. We're heading into 40 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: the finals tonight at six pm uh in Leah Thomas. 41 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: If it stands as it stands now, it's gonna be 42 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: a question if she breaks he breaks the pool record 43 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: and wins the national title. That's that's that's all. It's Yeah, 44 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: what is that number? What is the pool record? Like? 45 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: How close is it to being broken? The pool record 46 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: is four thirty eighty one. We're talking three seconds. This 47 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: was the qualifier, you know, this wasn't this wasn't leave 48 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: it all on the leave it all on the pool, 49 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: So three seconds could could come down tonight. I mean, 50 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: we could be talking about a new pool record for 51 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: the NC Double A Championships. So so just to be 52 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: very clear, Joe, I don't follow swimming in general me 53 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: NC Double A level. So when you say pool record 54 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: is it? Is it then possible that tonight and I 55 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: think six Eastern they have the the five hundred freestyle 56 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: National Championship right tonight you could have a transgender female 57 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: hold the all time record for the NC Double A 58 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: for the five hundred meter freestyle swim, right, I mean, 59 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: and so it's not is it possible that it wouldn't 60 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: just be this year, it would be number one all time? 61 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: So Leah Thomas would have to be Katie Ledeck, you know, 62 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the most decorated women's female swimming champion of all time 63 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: who had a four twenty four that is the NC 64 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: double a record. Leah Thomas would have to be a 65 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: four twenty four oh six. So is it possible? Well, 66 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: she just Leah Thomas just swam the fastest time in 67 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: the nation and it could it could fall tonight. We 68 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: could see, we could see an all time record and 69 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: a pool record and a national championship. So yeah, I 70 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: don't think it's out of the question. And are the 71 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: what are the some of the other women? I mean, 72 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: one of the things that I know you at out 73 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: kick and Clay and I have been talking about here 74 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: as you guys have been covering the story, is that 75 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: there's this fear of women who are actually biological women 76 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: who are swimming against Leah Thomas, and they understand this 77 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: is biochemically unfair and kind of outrageous through them, but 78 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: they're worried about speaking out. I mean, are there more 79 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: people that are coming forward right now? You think? Are 80 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: they willing to speak to the pres It's more about this, 81 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: are are they going to wait until Leah Thomas becomes 82 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: perhaps the national champion, and then they'll be more outcry. 83 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: How do you see that playing out? Well, we know 84 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: that brook Forty, who is entering the finals in the 85 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: sixth place position, we know through her father who released 86 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: a statement in January who said I'm perfectly fine with this. 87 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: Whatever happens happens. Well, here's what happens. You are an 88 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: Olympic champion who is now going to lose. As it 89 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: stands right now, brook Forty will lose a national championship 90 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: to a guy. And Pat Forty, the Sports Illustrated writer, 91 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: he is on record saying that he understands that this 92 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: is a unfair playing playing field here, but they're so 93 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: far down the woke you know, they're they've jumped in 94 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: so deep in the woke world that they can't now 95 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: speak out about it because then they're going to lose 96 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: their street cred buck. You know, there is this tough 97 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: situation now where Pat Forty has to watch his daughter 98 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: lose to prove a point. And now Pat Forty is 99 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: saying this is all political, politically driven. These are political 100 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: people that are that are making this a problem. Well, Pat, 101 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: your daughter's about to lose, you know, if you know 102 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: it's a problem and you're unwilling to speak out about it, 103 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: so you know what you almost deserve to lose, right Joe. 104 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: What's crazy too, is this pen transgender swimmer says that 105 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: the plan is to become a member of the twenty 106 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: twenty four women's Olympic team. So this story for people 107 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: out there who are saying, Okay, well, I don't really 108 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: care that much, and some of you may not care 109 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: that much about a biological man dominating women swimming in college, 110 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: it's a possibility than in a couple of years, this 111 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: pen transgender swimmer could be taking away an Olympic position 112 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: from a biological woman and competing as a woman at 113 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: the Olympics. I mean, this is this is full on 114 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: in woke insanity, right, I mean, there's no other way 115 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: to describe this, Clay. As long as these numbers continue, 116 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: Leah Thomas will be an Olympic swimmer for the United 117 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: States swimming team. This is not this is not some 118 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: far fetched reality. This this is this is what's gonna 119 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: happen if these times maintain. You know, if Leah Thomas 120 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: maintains these times, Leah Thomas will be on the Olympic 121 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: team and the Olympic Leah Thomas will take a biological 122 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: female spot on the Olympic team. We're speaking of Joe 123 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Kinsey of OutKick dot Com. He's got a story up 124 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: on Leah Thomas smashing the records the times of biological 125 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 1: females in the NC Double A Swimming Championship preliminary rounds 126 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: at Joe to the point about the Olympics. One thing 127 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: Play and I've been talking about is how once this 128 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: starts to be you know, look NC double A swimming 129 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: there there's obviously no money in it or I don't know, 130 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: maybe you can sell your identity or identity on I 131 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: mean I think that's all. That's a different thing. You 132 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 1: can you know, you can sell your image and likeness. 133 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to think of. But in general, 134 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: there's no no money in swimming. But when you get 135 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: to gold medals and when you get to Olympic medalists 136 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: that I've seen assessments that say that that's worth seven 137 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: figures to people in terms of endorsements and speaking engagements, etc. 138 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: So how does the International Olympic Committee treat this situation? 139 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean, do we know what the what are the 140 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: rules about someone like Leah Thomas, a transgender swimmer competing 141 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: for actual medals at an actual Olympics. Well, Buck, they've 142 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: they've been rewriting the legislation and they've they've they've got 143 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: pages and pages of you got to you gotta go 144 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: through this process, and you got to prove this, and 145 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: you gotta go before the doctors. And but let's face it, Buck, 146 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: everything that they've written this year, as far as legislation is, 147 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: none of it is going to stop Leah Thomas from 148 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: competing for a spot on that team. None of it, Buck, 149 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: Because Leah Thomas came out a week or two ago 150 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: and said, listen, I am going to go back and 151 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: go get a law degree or something like that, I guess, 152 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: and I am going to train for the Olympics. And 153 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: this is not going to stop Leah Thomas. There's nothing 154 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: that the US Olympic team that has put forward to 155 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: stop a transgender swimmer from competing in the London Games. 156 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: And that is where this is headed. We are seeing 157 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: the early stages of what is setting up for one 158 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: of the most insane stories in Olympic history. You mentioned 159 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: and I want to get to this because I think 160 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: people will love it. The amount of American sports media 161 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: that is woke is like, what do you think, Joe, 162 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: You've been doing this for a long time. Ninety five percent? 163 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: If you were analyzing as people in sports media, what 164 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: percentage of them do you think voted by nover Trump. 165 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's easily into the nineties, and I 166 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: would have to say into the mid nineties, Clay. We 167 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: have very few instances where we know of blue check 168 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: marks that aren't in the woke world. I'm one of 169 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: the few, right, I'm one of the few who's actually 170 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: come out and said I was willing to vote for. 171 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: The reason why I bring this up with you, Joe, 172 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: is because you mentioned Pat Forty, who writes now I 173 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: believe it's Sports Illustrated. His daughter is an Olympian, which 174 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: is an incredible accomplishment. She may lose her chance to 175 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: win an NC double a championship to a guy, and 176 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: Pat Forty is in some way defending this and he 177 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: is a part. You've done this as the second year 178 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: in a row where we have a woke sports media 179 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: Brackett challenge for people out there who like to do 180 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Brackett voting and have fun with it.

But this is 185 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: pretty entertaining.

Welcome back to Clay and Buck CNB, 247 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: my friends. And the gas prices are two damn high, 248 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: that is, but they came down a couple of pennies 249 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: in the last few days, so we got that going 250 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: for us, which is nice. They got to figure out, though, 251 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: The Democrats have to come up with some way, some 252 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: explanation for this that is not a reflection of their 253 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: poor decision making their Green New Deal, Marxist lunacy and 254 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: just other incompetence on display from the Biden regime. So 255 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: what do they do? Oh, it's the big bad oil companies. 256 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: And also, oh, by the way, the meat companies are 257 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: to blame for inflation. I think the primary cause of 258 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: this bout of price increases starts with COVID and the 259 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: fact that we have supply chain canks and that people 260 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: rapidly shifted the demand curves so that demand for services 261 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: went down in demand for goods went up. So those 262 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: two have forced prices up. That's part one. But what 263 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: has also happened is that now that we live in 264 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: America where there's a lot more concentration in certain industries. 265 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: Look at the oil industry, look at meat industry, look 266 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: at groceries generally, what's happened is these companies have said, 267 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, we'll pass along costs. But while we're at 268 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: it and everyone's talking about rising costs, let's just add 269 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: an extra big dollar of cost increases to expand our profit. 270 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: I wanted everyone to hear that, just as a reminder. 271 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: Elizard Warren's supposed to be one of the more intellectual 272 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: members of the far left of the Democrat Party. I 273 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: think she would fail an ECON one O one class, 274 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: not even the college. I think at the high school level, 275 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: I don't think she would pass because she doesn't understand 276 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: and beyond just her lack of conceptual understanding Clay like 277 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: with the gas companies blaming big oil gas stations. Great 278 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: report on Fox News actually this morning most gas stations 279 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: are owned by independent proprietors. They're just passing on the 280 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: price of what the gas costs well, and lots of 281 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: gas stations make no money off of gas. This is 282 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: like just not understanding basic economics. In the same way 283 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: that movie theaters make most of their money off of 284 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: the concessions, they don't make that much money off of 285 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: the actual film itself because they have to share so 286 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: much of their revenue so many gas stations because they 287 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: have to be competitive. And look, how often is the 288 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: price of gas station across the street from each other 289 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: within a penny or two. It's not very often you 290 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: see one gas station charging twenty cents more than another 291 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: one that you can see the sign for. That's why, 292 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: by the way, they have the signs. Oftentimes the margins 293 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: on gas stations come not from the gas itself, but 294 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: from the things that people buy inside of the convenience 295 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: stores when they go to buy gas. Right. So, one 296 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: of the big challenges that the Democratic Party have has 297 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: and they trust me, they got a punch. Now. They 298 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 1: don't have very many people anymore buck with substantial voices 299 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: in the party that are involved in business. Yep, that 300 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: understand what making a payroll requires that understand the difference 301 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: between a profit and a loss and what that means 302 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: to the business. The Democrat Party is now effectively ruled 303 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: by the Oberlin Women in Gender Studies Faculty Lounge, and 304 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: the results are not good, not good at all. Pay 305 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: is one of the great disablers. I'm not saying anything 306 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: that people living with pain every day don't already know. 307 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: What they may not know is that relief Factor could 308 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: be the solution to their problems. Created by doctors and 309 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: perfected over fifteen years of scientific research, relief Factor was 310 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: made for you with four key ingredients. Relief Factor is 311 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: a one hundred percent drug free product that addresses joint, knee, hip, neck, back, 312 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: and shoulder pain. Goes to work on the source of 313 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: the pain, which is often inflammation. Hundreds of thousands of 314 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: people have ordered relief Factor, and about seventy percent of 315 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: them go on to order more. Those kinds of odds 316 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: seven out of ten that should really capture your attention. 317 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: It's certainly worth a shot join them. More than half 318 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: a million people, including my own dad, order the three 319 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: week quickstart for only nineteen ninety five.

Appreciate all of 325 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: you hanging out with us as we rolled through the 326 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: Thursday edition of the program. Serious story out there that 327 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: I don't think is going to get very much attention, 328 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: although arguably given what happened with George Floyd, it should. 329 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: And this is a tough story and many of you 330 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: may not have heard about it at all, but it 331 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: comes from Los Angeles. We're reading from the Daily Mail. 332 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: They have the video up. It is a difficult watch. Buck, 333 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: you sent this to me earlier today so that I 334 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: could watch it in prep for the show, and I'm 335 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: just gonna give you a rough outline of the story here. 336 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: A thirty eight year old man named Edward Bronstein died 337 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: on March thirty, first of two thousand and twenty, a 338 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: little over two months before the George Floyd incident. Footage 339 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: of his death was just released by the Police Department 340 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles yesterday after his family sued so that 341 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: they could see the video surrounding his death. This thirty 342 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: eight year old man by the way, father of two, 343 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving and they 344 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: were trying to give get take blood from him to 345 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: determine whether or not he was drunk, and he was 346 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: forced onto a mat in the police station garage. He 347 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: was handcuffed five LA police officers then kneeled on his 348 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: back while they put the needle into extract blood. His 349 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: family says that he had an incredible fear of needles. 350 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: He screams I can't breathe eleven times before eventually going silent. 351 00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: This is a really hard tape to watch. But you 352 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: and I, from the moment that George Floyd video went public, 353 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: we are, first of all, defenders of police in general. 354 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: We need more police. We need as talented of people 355 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: as possible willing to take on the job of police. 356 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: But sometimes police, like people who have every sort of 357 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: profession under the sun, behave in ways that may well 358 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: be illegal, and when that occurs, there need to be 359 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: charges that are brought. What is devastating about watching this 360 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: video is this man, thirty eight year old again Edward Braunstein. 361 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: He's a white guy, same thing happens to him that 362 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: happened to George Floyd. And this was over two years ago. 363 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: The tape is just now coming out. When we talk 364 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: about larger police issues, I think oftentimes when race is 365 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: made the primary focus, it misses the larger story. Buck 366 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: you look at the data from the Washington Post, seventy 367 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: five percent of people who are killed by police every 368 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: year are white, Asian or Hispanic. I think that data 369 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: stuns people. Stunts people when they hear that seventy five 370 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: percent of people who are killed by police are white, 371 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: Asian and Hispanic. And so what will be interesting is 372 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: as this lawsuit progresses, and given the fact that this 373 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: video is now out and the man is saying basically 374 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: the same exact thing that George Floyd said, will a 375 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: white man being knelt on by five different police officers 376 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles will this be a story at all? 377 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: Will there be any marches? Will there be any discussion 378 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: about this in the larger cultural sphere. The law enforcement 379 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: agency involved here was California Highway Patrol, and they were 380 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 1: the ones that then fought the release of this tape. 381 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: And we honestly, we could play just the audio for you. 382 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: It's bone chilling. I mean, it's horrifying. This guy, Bronstein, 383 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: now deceased, is an of the guys, a father. I 384 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: there's a photo on the Daily Mail. You see his 385 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: little daughter. He is screaming for his life and screaming, 386 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: I can't breathe even times, exact eleven times, the exact 387 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: same thing that George Floyd was screaming. Now, the video 388 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: of George Floyd was taken by bystanders that got out 389 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: there sooner. I understand that there are some differences here 390 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: in the situation. I'd also say that in this case, 391 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: you'll have to look at the specifics of Bronstein. Is 392 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: essentially he's already handcuffed, hands behind his back, handcuffed. He's 393 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: on his knees on a mat. This is over a 394 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: DUI issue. He poses no threat to any of the 395 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: officers around him, and right when they go to grab him, 396 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: he says he'll comply for the blood test. They say, 397 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: too late, too late, we're we're doing it this way, 398 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: and they have I think four officers kneel on him 399 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: and he's screaming and you can hear he's an absolute 400 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: hysterics and he's screaming, I can't breathe and he dies 401 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: right there. He dies on the video and it's absolutely horrific. Now, 402 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: Clay and I thought this is a story you should 403 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: know about because, first of all, the narrative immediately with 404 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: George Floyd, it wasn't so much that it was a 405 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: case of police brutality. It's that it was a case 406 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: of racist police brutality that was assumed right away. And 407 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: when you actually understand more about cases across the country 408 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: at Clay mentioned the Washington Post numbers, which you find 409 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: is that, yeah, there are going to be there are 410 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: cops who cross the line. They're cops who do bad things, 411 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: but law enforcement in general in America is actually not racist. Yes, 412 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: And the left and the Democrats and the progressives run 413 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: with this narrative at the first opportunity, and they don't 414 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: ever stop to look at the facts. I mean, here 415 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: you see that this police restraint of a shoulder on 416 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: the back or the neck in some circumstances clearly can 417 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: be fatal for people. And it wasn't just something that 418 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: happened to George Floyd. It happened to this individual Bronstein 419 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: before the George Floyd incident. Just to be clear, and 420 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: then Clay on top of it, we have the part 421 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: of this will not be This will not result in marches, 422 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: This will not be BLM a national phenomenon that we 423 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: all have to talk about it, have a long conversation 424 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: about police violence or anything else. Because it doesn't fit 425 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: the racial component and it doesn't have that narrative heft 426 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: from the left, they will pretend they will not care 427 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: about this story, they will not care about police violence. 428 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: In this case, five officers involved, no charges brought against 429 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: any of the officers so far. The La County Coroner's 430 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: office ruled that this man Bronstein, died quote as a 431 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: result of acute methamphetamine intoxication during restraint by law enforcement, 432 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: very similar to the argument that the police officers put 433 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: forward in the George Floyd case, which was Floyd was 434 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: under the influence of drugs and that was what caused 435 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: his death, not the actions of the police officers. That 436 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: was the defense. So in this situation, the five officers 437 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: not charged and the La County Coroner's determination that the 438 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: drugs called that caused the death, not the police officers actions, 439 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: has been accepted without any argument to the contrary. Now, 440 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: maybe with the video out reminder, this happened before George 441 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: Floyd happened in March of twenty twenty, and buckets interesting 442 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: to think about how different, how different George Floyd situation 443 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: might have been covered if this Bronstein video had been 444 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: public at the time, because one of the primary arguments, 445 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: you remember this of Black Lives Matter was this would 446 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: never have happened to a white guy. I say, they 447 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: say it all the time, all the time, and were 448 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: not true. Not. One of the only pieces I ever 449 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: had go viral when I worked at the Hill dot 450 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: Com was about a shooting in Arizona, and there's another 451 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: horrific video of a guy who's clearly he did nothing. 452 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: He did nothing wrong, nothing illegal. He was in hysterics 453 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: because someone had called almost an accidental squatting, had called 454 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: law enforcement onto the scene. He had a baby gun, 455 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: totally lou legal for him to have. Someone thought it 456 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: was a rifle, and police, two of them with long guns, 457 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: see him in the hallway and are shouting commands at 458 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: him and just I mean, if you see the they 459 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: just one of the officers just like just start shooting 460 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: this guy. I mean, it's because he can't. He didn't 461 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: comply where he's on his knees. Anybody he was saying, 462 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: he was saying, cross your legs, now crawl And the 463 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: kid goes to pull up his pull up his shorts. Yeah, 464 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: and he's got two guns trained on him and one 465 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: of the officers just they did bring murder charges, but 466 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: the I think the jury got it wrong. The jury 467 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: found that the officer was not guilty of murder in 468 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: that case. But these things do happen, is the point. 469 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: And it happens to people regardless of race, ethnicity, or background. 470 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: But that's not the narrative the left ever wants to tell. 471 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: And most of you will never hear about this story. 472 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: The Edward Braun see sort maybe this will turn into 473 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: a big story. I bet that most of you will 474 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: not hear a single word about this story in mainstream 475 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: media at all, because it challenges the narrative that this 476 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: was a race based murder, which is what was said 477 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: about George Floyd. And it remains me seen what's going 478 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: to happen to these California Highway Patrol officers and also 479 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: whether there will be any sort of consequences as a 480 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: result of these actions. But we just wanted to share 481 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: it with you because it's a larger picture of what 482 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: goes on in a day to day basis. And by 483 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: the way, I'm not sure there's any show that supports 484 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: police officers more and bluck if you talk to police officers, 485 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: nobody hates a crooked cop or a bad cop more 486 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: than a good cop, because they paint all police officers 487 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: in a bad life, makes their jobs harder, puts them 488 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: at greater risks range relations with the community. Cops do 489 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: hate dirty cops. And one thing for anyone who's those 490 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: old book that's not true. Well, I worked in the 491 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: NYPD Intelligence Division. You know what.

He 519 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: is not, as it turns out, lost under the seat 520 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: of a New York City taxi cab with some gum 521 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: rappers and old coffee lids. He is back in the 522 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: media and we will discuss this in just a few 523 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: moments with the Senator Rand Paul, as well as everything 524 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: going on with COVID. We keep telling you, I know, 525 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: people like go oh buck, it's not over, folks, it's not. 526 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: We'll tell you when it's done. We'll throw a party 527 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: in here. We'll drink some tequila and burn a pilot 528 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: stupid masks. But that's coming up. And then we have 529 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: former Attorney General Bill barr On. He's making a very 530 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: strong case that the debacle of the Biden regime in 531 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: Afghanistan kick the door wide open for Putin to go 532 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: into Ukraine. That's the case he'll make. We'll talk about 533 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: that as well as election integrity issues. But right now, 534 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: also wanted to want to bring your attention that JetBlue, 535 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: American and Southwest pilots are suing the CDC to try 536 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: to get rid of the federal Transportation mask mandate. Ten 537 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: commercial airline pilots argue the CDC issued an order without 538 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: providing public notice or soliciting comment. Pilots are asking the 539 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: court to vacate worldwide the federal transportation mask mandate, calling 540 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: the move illegal and unconstitutional exercise of executive authority. Clay, 541 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: this is they're essentially challenging it on procedural grounds. Yeah, 542 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: which I don't know whether this is likely to work 543 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: or not. You know, where's the case going to be, 544 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: you know which judge is gonna hear it. But I 545 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: love that they're trying because it should just be a 546 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: reminder to everybody of the abject stupidity of Fauciism and 547 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: the CDC and the cowardice of Democrats, who I think 548 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: play at some level. Now it's there are the people 549 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: that are still terrified walking around with three masks on, 550 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: and it's embarrassing, and I feel sorry that they're, you know, 551 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: emotionally so compromised as a result of COVID. I also 552 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: think there's a degree of spite that they're Democrats, that 553 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter that we were right this whole time. 554 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we're gonna make you do it anyway. Well, 555 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: and to our point earlier, this is uh, the mandate 556 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: originally went into effect on the TSA's mask mandate February first, 557 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. According to this and was set to 558 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: expire on May eleventh of twenty twenty one. It has 559 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: continued over and over and over again. And what I 560 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: have found is there are a lot of flight attendants 561 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: who disagree with this. Obviously, these ten different pilots from 562 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: Jet Blue, American and Southwest disagree with this, and they 563 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: hate the mandate oftentimes as much as many of their 564 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: flyers do. What I noticed flying back from Florida yesterday. 565 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm about to hop on a flight to go to 566 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, so we'll see how exactly things go on 567 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: that trip. I'm glad that Las Vegas is back open 568 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: for business because the last time I was in Las Vegas, 569 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: they had reinstituted a mask mandate too. But I noticed 570 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: inside the airport almost nobody was wearing their mask. And 571 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: so here's what I would encourage everybody who listens to 572 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck to do. Pull your if you want 573 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: to do one of those ridiculous things where you have 574 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: the mask kind of strapped around your ears, pull it 575 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: down below your mouth. Do it where you're basically not 576 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: wearing it. Obviously, you can go buy a drink, walk 577 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: around and be sipping on that. That allows you to 578 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: be out of the mix. But the number of people 579 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: that I saw walking around in the airport in Florida 580 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: not even bothering to wear a mask at all, with 581 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: no employees following around hectoring them saying you have to 582 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: put a mask on. You got to make sure that 583 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: you're wearing it was encouraging and on the airport, on 584 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: the airplane itself, and I fly Southwest almost everywhere, it 585 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 1: feels as if the Southwest Airline attendants by and large 586 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: are done with being the police in charge of making 587 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: sure people are wearing their masks. I've been saying this 588 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: for a long time. The people that are charged with 589 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: enforcing this idiocy should nullify it by just not enforcing it. 590 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: It's very straightforward and verty oh, but that's not the 591 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: spirit of the what not the spirit of the federal 592 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: bureaucracy's executive orders that we're supposed to obey on the 593 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: whims of a bunch of bureaucrats. It's absurd, And you 594 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: know they don't They don't enforce immigration law in this 595 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: country under the Biden regime, but all of a sudden, 596 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: you're supposed to say the laws the law when it 597 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: comes to masks, absolutely not. So that's why I'll tell 598 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: you I for a while now, I've really the people 599 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: that the people that have been their mask shamers and 600 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: the mask enforcers, they're kind of the worst clay, They're 601 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: kind of the worst. I'm just saying, you don't. You 602 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: don't have to do it. You don't have to be 603 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: a part of the madness. For anybody out there, I 604 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: know ninety nine point nine percent of our alreadience would 605 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: never do that. But for anybody listening, don't be a 606 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: mask shamer. Well, there's no doubt. And plus, honestly, it 607 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: makes their job a lot harder. I mean, if you're 608 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: a flight attendant and you're in charge of managing the 609 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: flight in general and getting drinks out and I Southwest 610 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: has got alcohol back, which I felt like was a 611 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: big sign of normalcy. I'm not sure how many other 612 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: airlines have reinstituted beer and wine and liquor on their flights, 613 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: but when the alcohol came back, it feels like things 614 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: are very much more back to normalcy. And given the 615 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: fact that people are sitting there sipping their drinks or 616 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 1: doing whatever, eating whatever devices they might have they brought on. 617 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: It feels like a lot of flight attendants, personally, based 618 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: on what I'm seeing, have just said I'm over this. 619 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be policing whether or not people are 620 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: wearing their masks accurately, and they are taking a stand 621 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: for freedom while passing out peanuts and delicious batment, not 622 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: peanuts anymore, because a peanut allergies a medley of snacks. 623 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: Can I just say there's a little bit of gluten 624 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: discrimination that goes on here because now on these planes, 625 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 1: I was good with the peanuts, but now they're always 626 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: handing out pretzels and crackers. Are they trying to Are 627 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: they trying to, you know, knock off the buckster here? 628 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: I need I need a GF option, folks. Unfair You're 629 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: gonna be done for, I guess because I don't think 630 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: peanuts are ever coming back. I think they're gone forever. 631 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: I used to like some of those peanuts stood calorie dents, 632 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: but with you know, when they're salted, I gotta say 633 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm a fan, although I like the honest I like 634 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: indoor scarves, so I'm kind of a pistachio guy Clay, 635 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: where you also have a scooter with a not very 636 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: masculine Have you seen the price of gas?
