And as 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: the Senate and the Congress returns, Joe Mansion letting it 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: be known that he continues to not support the Build 11 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: Back Better bill. Nothing has changed in his mind, and 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: no one at the White House, he says, he's even 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: talked to since he came out and shot that entirely 14 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: down by the way, that was a great Sunday morning surprise. 15 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: I was at the Hemmingway House down in Key West, 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: A nice little end of the year gift that Joe 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: Mansion gave to everyone out there. But Buck, I want 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: to start off today. I know you saw this as well, 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: because you were living right now in New York City, 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: which is the epicenter yet again of all COVID outbreaks. 21 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: I am I'm your Siberia Communism correspondent while this is 22 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: going on. Yes, we are over a million cases now. 23 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: And I was talking with a friend who came by 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: the house earlier today and he was like, Yeah, everybody 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: in my house had it. We just took the home 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: test and everybody had it. So we have a million 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: confirmed cases right now. Well, how many more cases are 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: there from people who are just like, yeah, I don't 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: feel that. Well, I'm just gonna stay home. I'm taking 30 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: a home test, and they aren't actually reported in the 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: official numbers. Joe Biden said that he was going to 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: shut down I'm not gonna shut down COVID. I'm gonna 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: shut down the economy. That was basically his entire twenty 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: twenty presidential He's not going to shut down the economy. 35 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna shut down COVID. Yeah, I flip it. Yeah, 36 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: Well he's managed to shut down none of COVID, and 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: now we're dealing with the threat of potential shutdowns. And Buck, 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: you and I were texting about this last night Toronto, 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 1: and I know we have a lot of Canadian listeners 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: out there Toronto. The Ontario province has basically shut down 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: just like it's March of twenty twenty all over again. 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: Are you nervous now in New York City, that New York, La, Chicago, 43 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: some of these cities that have followed the lead of 44 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: cities like Toronto. Are you nervous that shutdowns are coming? Yeah? 45 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: Limited shutdowns I think are gonna hit a number of 46 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: cities across the country. You're going to see this with 47 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: the school system here already is under the kind of 48 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: pressure that has led to some schools to just declare 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: they don't have staff to be open. But I think 50 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: is interesting, is okay, well, how much of this is 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: really just because of overwhelmed staffs, because of caseload that 52 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: there is some data to suggest. And remember this is 53 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: after we had the citywide mandate COVID vaccine mandate for employees, Clay, 54 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: right now you have in New York. And remember when 55 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: we're talking to New York, I know we have a 56 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: big New York audience, But for folks around the rest 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: of the country, what happens here is always replicated elsewhere. Right, 58 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: New York tends to be the place that goes first, 59 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: and then it's La and San fran and Chicago and Atlanta, 60 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: or you know wherever right it goes, Washington, DC, Philly, 61 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: Washing DC. Not as much Atlanta, but DC, Philly. Here's 62 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: what we got. The NYPD has about five thousand of 63 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: its thirty five thousand uniformed officers out sick. As of yesterday, 64 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: almost two thousand of those cops had COVID three thousand 65 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: experiencing flu like symptoms. F d n Y, which is 66 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: the fire department for New York, says thirty percent of 67 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: its forty two hundred em staff and eighteen percent of 68 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: its eleven thousand firefighters out sick. So what you have 69 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: is two things simultaneously, Clay. You have such a high 70 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: caseload and such a concern among the fauciites about how 71 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: we're going to stop this. You have these two factors. 72 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: So it's not just are we gonna shut down to 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: stop cases, it's there are so many cases that you 74 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: may go into de facto shutdowns or something close to 75 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: it of things like the school system. Will see what 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: happens with restaurants. What an amazing success the vaccine mandates 77 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: can say, can you imagine how many people would be 78 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: missing work if they hadn't gotten their vaccines? And hadn't 79 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: been mandated to receive them. Now, this is where I 80 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: wanted to go. A guy named David Leonhardt. Leonhardt, I 81 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: don't want to really tee off on him, although it 82 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. He works at The New York Times, and 83 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: he wrote a piece this morning which is being widely 84 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: circulated in liberal circles. And I know this because several 85 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: of my friends who are left wingers. I've got a 86 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: lot of liberal friends. They texted me and they said, Man, 87 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: the New York Times is finally saying they've listened to 88 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: our show. And by the way, I think as the 89 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: definition of what is liberal has just gone so far 90 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: left wing, we have tons of people who would otherwise 91 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: consider themselves right now listening to us, who would otherwise 92 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: consider themselves to be Democrats, that are just searching for sanity. 93 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: And it's one reason why I think our audience has 94 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: been growing so much. Because the left has gone so 95 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: far left. They've left this massive, huge void of normalcy, 96 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: reasonable people that we're trying to appeal to in the 97 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: middle part of their country. But this guy in the 98 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: New York Times this morning wrote, American children are starting 99 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two in crisis, welcome to the party, pal 100 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: in the words of immortal words of your heart. Of course, 101 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: Bruce Willis, I have long been aware. I know you're 102 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: great at all nineteen eighties movies. Movies. We might have 103 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: to bring back action movie quote Friday at some point, 104 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: but continue, he says at the open. I've long been 105 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: aware the pandemic was upending children's lives, but until I 106 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: spent time pulling together data and reading reports, I didn't 107 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: understand just how alarming the situation had become. This is, 108 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: but I just think this is amazing. Again, he wrote 109 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: an entire piece and the headline is no way to 110 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: grow up. For the past two years, Americans have accepted 111 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: more harm to children in exchange for less harm to adults. 112 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: And again that's really defining harm broadly in terms of 113 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: less harm for adults. But buck he acts like this 114 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: data hasn't been readily apparent for the last two years, 115 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: and that you and I and all of the people 116 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: on Team Sanity haven't been pulling our hair out trying 117 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: to share all this data. Fauciites have normalized and actually 118 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,679 Speaker 1: mandated child abuse. If you were a third grade teacher 119 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: and you didn't like what you know a little Bobby 120 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: or you know, little Sally said in the classroom and 121 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: made them strap a cloth around their face and sit 122 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: outside in the freezing coal. As punishment, you get locked up. 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, you should so well when you 124 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: do this, because you're so scared of the COVID, even 125 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: after you're vaccinated at all, all the things we've been told, 126 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: even after all these months of social distancing and masking 127 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: up that's considered normal children have been sacrificed on the 128 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: altar of neurotic libs who watch too much CNN, who 129 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: believe Fauci, who are caught in this echo chamber of 130 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: social media, making them crazier and crazier about this all 131 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: the time. And what I think you're beginning to see 132 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: now is the concern that, remember we're going into a 133 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: mid term year, and as much as the neurotic thirty 134 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: percent of America, unfortunately that still thinks we have to 135 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: mask up and double mask. And I mean the photos 136 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: of the Secretary of Defense were the mask on at 137 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: a shield and foot his mask looking like a total moron, 138 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: are absolutely hilarious as COVID. The guy just got COVID, 139 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: so he's vaccinated, massed up, shield it up and just 140 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: got COVID, and it's telling everybody, Oh, it would be 141 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 1: so much words. He doesn't know that all this stuff 142 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: they say is unfalsifiable. But Clay, here's I think the 143 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: fundamental challenge they have right now, as we're talking about 144 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: lockdowns everything else, their power is going to be at 145 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: risk if this keeps up. Not because the thirty percent 146 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: of lunatic libs are starting to see reality, but they 147 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: know that there is this middle portion of the country 148 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: that they're going to need to go along with them. 149 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: The people that believe Biden would shut down the virus 150 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: and not the economy. The leftist loons understand that they 151 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: may get annihilated unless they come up with a coherent 152 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: narrative here, because what do we have with Biden so 153 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: far the regime on COVID abject undeniable failure. I want 154 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: to build on the idea that you just laid out, 155 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: because I hadn't really thought about it in that context. 156 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of parents out there that are 157 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: going to be thinking about this now because it's a 158 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: great analogy. In twenty nineteen, if you had your kid 159 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: in elementary school and the kid came home, and they 160 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: said the teacher was really upset with me. So the 161 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: teacher made me go outside in the cold and sit 162 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: on a bucket. Sit on a bucket, it was sleeting outside. 163 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: They made me wear a mask. They stood near me 164 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: and made me pull my mask back up in between 165 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: each of my bites and door drinks. As punishment for 166 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: the way that I had behaved in a classroom, that 167 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: teacher would be charged, probably with child abuse and would 168 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: probably lose their job. And if there was video of it, 169 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: or if there were photos of it, it would have 170 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: gone viral and everybody would have said, what in the 171 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: world is happening at our public schools? Yet that has 172 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: become a standard operating procedure or for many left wing 173 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: communities all over our country, and people are trying to 174 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: treat it like it's normal. It's child abuse. There's this 175 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: thing that keeps happening where and it's been happening for 176 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: a long time. You'll see photos of COVID measures somewhere. 177 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: Often in school schools are the worst, and it's because 178 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: the teachers unions are you know, communist run uh, you 179 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: know looney bins where they just are really about adults 180 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: or tend to be about kids. So the schools and 181 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: they're they're right now advocating, as we know, for remote learning, 182 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: which means teachers get paid to stay home and you know, 183 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: do whatever the place exactly. But when you see these 184 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: photos of people or of children the classroom, and you 185 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: always have to stop and say, hold on, has this 186 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: been photoshopped? Because are they really putting kids? I mean, 187 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: you might have a lot of folks listening, uh might 188 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: have seen this last night on Tucker Show. He had 189 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: that photo of the children doing band practice. You know, 190 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: I was like high school kids all in individual plastic pods. 191 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: And they've had this in Germany too, where it's like 192 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: you're in it looks like a plexiglass beach ball. Yes, 193 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: and you see these things and you say, no intelligent 194 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: person could believe. But Clay, I just went this morning. 195 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: I walk past the coffee shop in my corner. They've 196 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: redone all the plexiglass dividers. As if that's going to 197 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: make things anything. It limits airflow and creates pockets of 198 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: greater viral concentration, according to the actual studies they've done 199 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: on this. Friends, the only way this ends, I mean, 200 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: if we can give you one takeaway, because if you're 201 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: hoping that there's a level of lunacy that's going to 202 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: make Randy Weingarten, the you know, the chief commissar of 203 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: the teachers unions. If there's you're hoping that she's going 204 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: to put your kids interest first, you're gonna be hoping 205 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. It's never gonna happen. 206 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: The only thing that turns us around is an absolute 207 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: repudiation of the party behind all this, and that means 208 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: annihilation of the power that the Democrats have. And I 209 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: just on the Fauci point with the institutionalizing, and I 210 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: will defend this to the hill, the institution realizing of 211 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: child abuse that has been pushed by Democrats. If doctor 212 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: Fauci was not an im moral coward, I'm not expecting 213 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: to people right on everything right. I was even a 214 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: few months ago I said, I think the winter could 215 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: be bad. I don't know right. We don't know everything. 216 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: We don't get everything right here, but we tell people 217 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: we get right and wrong. Put that aside. Faucci not 218 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: speaking up about children masking up between bites outside and 219 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: the cold as excessive shows you that he is a coward. 220 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: He is immoral, the people who support him are complicit 221 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: in it, and all he really cares about is what 222 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: the CNN producers and green Room think about his pronouncements. 223 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: That is it, your kids don't matter, not only that, 224 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: and we need to play some of the audio from 225 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 1: this because I heard it and it was kind of 226 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: jaw dropping. Fauci is now trying to defend cloth mask buck, 227 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: even as doctor Lena Win and even as Scott Gottlie, 228 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: both doctors who are far from let's get back to 229 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: normal life proponents, even as they have been willing to 230 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: go on and say, you know what, your cloth mask 231 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: doesn't actually work, Fauci hasn't been willing to even admit 232 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: that we've got some audio that I think even for 233 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: you guys, you're gonna be like, this is amazing. I 234 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: can't believe this exists. In the meantime, you don't just 235 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: vote in November. You vote every single month with the 236 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: money you spend and the companies you spend it with. 237 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: Consider your cell phone provider and the bill you're paying 238 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: each month. Your money supports the candidates and issues they 239 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: donate to leftist politicians pushing leftist agendas. There's a solution 240 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: and that's Pure Talk. Get your cell phone service from 241 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: Pure Talk as we do. They use the exact same towers, 242 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: the exact same five G network is one of those companies. 243 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: But with the peace of mind, you're supporting a veteran 244 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: run business with employees all here in the USA. One 245 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: lower monthly bill. You can be proud to pay half 246 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: of what your current cell phone bill is. That is 247 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: in the case, and the average family on a plan 248 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: can save eight hundred dollars a year.

That is the question 255 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: that is posed to Fouci, and we'll get into his 256 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: answer in just a second. Here, I welcome back to 257 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: the clan Buck Show. Of course, was a little over 258 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: a year ago when I started telling people and tweeting 259 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: out and saying on my radio show at the time, 260 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: just wait, they'll say, the masks aren't good enough. We 261 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: need double masking, and we need at ninety five this 262 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: was a matter of public record, and sure enough Faucie 263 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: came out in January of twenty twenty one. We need 264 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: two masks, if you want to consider three, and maybe goggles. 265 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm kind of lying about the goggles, but 266 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: the rest of it was there and the three. Although 267 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: if you do a double mask and advisor that's three, 268 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: or a face shield that's three, and people have done that. 269 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: To be sure. Here we have Fauci though, just yesterday 270 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: talking or when asked about this, here's what he says 271 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: about cloth masks specifically, are cotton and surgical masks effective 272 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: at preventing the spread of omicron? Yeah, when the CDC 273 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: says they are effective, In fact they are. Okay, they are, 274 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: That's what he says, Clay. Can we just hear from 275 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. Here we have doctor Lena 276 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: Wen and can you explain to me which one of 277 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: these is the smart doctor that we're supposed to listen to. 278 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: According to the LIBS, cloth masks are not appropriate for 279 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: this pandemic. It was it's not appropriate for omicron. It 280 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: was not appropriate for delta alpha or any of the 281 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: previous variants either. Because we're dealing with something that's airborne. Okay, 282 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: So which one is it? Folks, all the people go 283 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: wear your mask, pull your mask up. Every airline of 284 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: Kendricks says, pull it up over your nose, or we'll 285 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: throw you out of the plane while it's in flight. 286 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: Like the psychos, they are clay, what the heck's going 287 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: on here? Man? Who do we listen to? Well, this 288 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: is a bad look, I think for Fauci, and I 289 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: think it reflects the pressure that he is feeling when 290 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: massive numbers of the population are starting to look around 291 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: and just say, wait a minute. Even if you hadn't 292 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: been paying very much attention at all, if we had 293 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: predicted Buck, imagine that you and I had said back 294 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: in the summer, hey, there are going to be a 295 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: million cases a day of COVID in January of twenty 296 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: twenty two, that we are going to have double and 297 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: triple the all time highs of the number of COVID 298 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: cases that they are going to be despite the fact 299 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: that we're going to have vaccine mandates and many of 300 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: the biggest cities in this country, despite the fact that 301 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: we're going to have and I'm putting it in quotation 302 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: marks a vaccination rate of adults well over seventy percent 303 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: in the United States, and that people are going to 304 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: hold onto the idea of wearing masks as if their 305 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 1: entire life depends on it. And yet we're going to 306 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: hit a million or more daily cases. We would have 307 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: been probably canceled on every social media platform for that 308 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: prediction because it would have been so considered so outrageous 309 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: and unacceptable. And here we are sitting on this day, 310 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: January fourth, and we are now testing over a million 311 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: positive cases a day, and things are so bad now 312 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: Buck that people are starting to argue, oh, we shouldn't 313 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: even focus on cases anymore. That's the new pivot that's 314 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: going to come out. All of the science that makes 315 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 1: the quarantine go from ten to five days because they 316 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: totally non existent. That's predicated on the fact that they 317 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: recognize that people are not going to be able to 318 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: work based on this thing. Otherwise, I mean, it's a 319 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: total sham, one hundred percent opposite of a sham.

Senators back on Capitol Hill, congress Men 336 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: and women back on Capitol Hill as well. And the 337 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: big story that happened during the during Christmas break, during 338 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: the New Year break, Joe Mansion and a real slap 339 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: in the face to the Biden administration announced that he 340 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: would not accept or support Build Back Better as it's 341 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: presently constituted, and he went on Fox News to do 342 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: it with Brett Bayer, which I know just had to 343 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: drive the White House crazy. Mansion is now back on 344 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, and he was just asked recently is he 345 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: going to support both the philibuster, which he said, no, 346 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: nothing's changed there. And also have they had any conversations 347 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: about build back Better and whether or not he would 348 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: support it. Here's what Mansion said. I'm going to talk 349 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: about build back Better anymore because I think I've been 350 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: very clear on that. There is no negotiations going on 351 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: at this time, okay, And there's an awful lot of 352 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: things that had a lot of a lot of things 353 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: that we're very i think well intended, and there was 354 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: a lot of things that was pretty far reach on 355 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: some things. And the most delicate times that we have 356 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: right now, and our country is divided, and I don't 357 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: tend to do anything that divides our country anymore. So 358 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: whatever I can do to unite and bring people together, 359 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: and that means you have to work harder as you 360 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: work across the isle to bring people together. I just 361 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: want to say, Clay, this is the system working. Believe 362 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: it or not. I know people don't often pose it that. 363 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: Certainly Democrats think that this is awful, and they Bernie 364 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: Sanders has a lot of trouble with math, you know, 365 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: it's like one senator shouldn't stop all. It's like, no, 366 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: it's all the Republicans plus. But here, what we have 367 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,239 Speaker 1: is the system working the way it's supposed to win. 368 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: So far as you shouldn't have a massive, multi trillion 369 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: dollar additional spending package going through that will change a 370 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: lot of aspects of American economy and day to day 371 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: lives when there's absolutely no legislative mandate expressed through the 372 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: will of people voting to do so, when you have 373 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: a razor thin majority, you're not supposed to try to 374 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: transform the country. And I know this is the old though. 375 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: You know, this was the old Obama line about fundamental 376 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: transformation of America. Obama unfortunately got to that sixty vote threshold. 377 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: Remember this. I mean, that's actually how bad things were 378 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: after eight years of the Bush administration. And so as 379 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: much as I disagreed with and opposed everything that he 380 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: was trying to do, they did have the votes for 381 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: a period of time there to do it. And they 382 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: tried to you know, Obamacare, they tried all these radical proposals. 383 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't have it. He simply doesn't have the votes. 384 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: They can whine about it all day, they can cry 385 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: about it. But if the American people wanted this, then 386 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: they would have the votes to do it. And this 387 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: is the part of it that they keep trying to 388 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: avoid people recognizing. And I think the big takeaway as 389 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: well is Joe Manchin's going to run again in twenty 390 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: twenty four, and we got a lot of people listening 391 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: in West Virginia. I wonder on some level, buck after 392 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two when the shellacking happens, because I'm with you. 393 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: We talked earlier about the importance of a red wave 394 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: and holding Democrats accountable for defund the police and for 395 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: not opening schools, and for lying and failing on COVID. 396 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: All of those things are significant. I think in terms 397 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: of holding Democrats responsible for the positions they staked out. 398 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: It wouldn't stun me at all if after twenty twenty 399 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: two Joe Mansion goes full independent and says, you know what, 400 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: I just am not a part of this Democratic party 401 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: that exists right now, and then potentially runs as an 402 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: independent in twenty twenty four, because there's no way a 403 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: Democrat gets elected in West Virginia. Now Mansion is on 404 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, Washington, DC, is totally snowed under. I went 405 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: to college there. You lived in DC for a while, Buck, 406 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: You know that when it snows in DC, it is bedlam. 407 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: DC is a southern city. When it comes to snow, 408 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: people do not handle it well. It is hilarious for 409 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: anyone who grew up in Michigan or upstate New York 410 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: or New England, anywhere you name it, Minnesota. All of 411 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: a sudden in DC they get an eighth of an 412 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: inch of snow, and everyone is acting like they're stuck 413 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: in the snow apocalypse and they don't know what to 414 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: do with themselves. That all said, there are sometimes when 415 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: they really can't get the infrastructure together at all. And 416 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: this high ninety five thing, that's crazy. I've never I mean, 417 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: there's they're calling it on the front page of Foxnews 418 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: right now dot com. They're calling it unprecedented. Eleven hours. 419 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: They're saying eleveneen hours I saw for some my gosh, 420 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: fifteen hours for some pop night. I get stuck in 421 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: traffic for more than an hour, and I start having 422 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: like really dark thoughts about just leaving my car and 423 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: walking off in the woods and saying, forget it. These 424 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: are people who maybe didn't have enough gas to keep 425 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: the car running all that. By the way, we know 426 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of truckers who listen to the show, 427 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: So if any, if any of the truckers out there 428 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: happened to be stuck on this stretch and enough to 429 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: tell us what it was like, we're kind of curious because, 430 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, from what I said, no, unfortunately, as I 431 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: haven't seen any, you know, any reports of injuries from 432 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: exposure due to the cold. Most people, I think their 433 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: cars were able to keep them pretty well heated. But Clay, 434 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do that you're stuck in 435 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: a car on the highway not moving for twelve hours? 436 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: Are you really obligated to stay with you I know, 437 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: I think legally you are obligeted to stay with your car, 438 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: but at some point it's like you're kidnapped. I would bail. 439 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: I think I would totally bail. I would have pulled it. 440 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: This happened in Nashville because for those of us who 441 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: are Southerners that don't experience snow a lot, and also 442 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of snow plows, and I feel 443 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: like this storm kind of hit people unexpectedly because it's 444 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: been so warm I mean, we got three or four 445 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: inches some places in Nashville on Sunday night, and the 446 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: day before it was seventy seven degrees. So you're talking 447 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: about such a switch happening. So rap and so this 448 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: has happened. My wife didn't believe me. When we were 449 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: in law school together, we had a snow day and 450 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: I told her, I said, listen, you're from Michigan. Don't 451 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: get out and try to drive in your car. Just 452 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: don't do it. I said, when this snow hits in 453 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: a place like Nashville, it is pure panic. There were 454 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: people abandoning their cars in Nashville, like the apocalypse. You 455 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: could spend six or seven hours trying to drive a 456 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: mile and then finally just say I'm done with this too. 457 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: You just pull your car off on the side of 458 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: the road. When they had, like an aerial helicopter flew 459 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: over buck you would have it looked like the scenes 460 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: in Hey when they're suddenly are zombies that attack or 461 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: aliens have arrived. It looked like a quiet place. All 462 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: of these cars are abandoned. That's what happens in the 463 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: South when snow hits. So it doesn't surprise me at all. 464 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: I just say, don't get in your car, don't even 465 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: make an attempt to go anywhere. I spent way too 466 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: much time on this stretch of road way, as I'm 467 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: sure a lot of people listening have. I think it 468 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: is the most trafficked highway in the United States ninety five. 469 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: And people think of New Jersey, and we have many 470 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: lovely New Jersey listeners, many of them it is the 471 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: state that they drive through for the ninety five and 472 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: they they get they get close to New York City 473 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: and they have the very interesting factories and chemical plants 474 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: and everything, and some of the smells of that. Nonetheless, 475 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: I think if this had happened north of DC on 476 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: that stretch, you'd be seeing a lot more on the media. 477 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,959 Speaker 1: You know, it's always the weather that affects DC north 478 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: because that's where the national media overwhelmingly lives. Is immediately 479 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: a national news story because this was DC to Richmond, 480 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 1: as in just you know, Americans on the high like 481 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: every everyday Americans on the highway. You're not seeing as 482 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: much about the climate change catastrophe that caused this, and 483 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: the you know, and the need for more high speed 484 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: rail and all these other things because it's these people 485 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: live in you know, other parts of the country, so 486 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: there's less of a focus on it. But I saw 487 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: these I felt tremendous sympathy because it really does test 488 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: your It tests your you know, mental fortitude when you're 489 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: stuck in a car for hours in traffic, unable to move. Oh, 490 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: and I automatically think, as a parent, it's all whatever 491 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: happens to you that sucks and is awful. If you're 492 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: an individual adult, it is awful, right, But if you 493 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: contemplate it occurring when you have kids that you are 494 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: also responsible for, it's next level hell. And so my 495 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: first thought when I see people get caught for fifteen 496 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: hours in their cars is I can't even imagine some 497 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: of the parents out there that found themselves caught with 498 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: their with their kids in the cars as well. At 499 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 1: least people have smartphones, so they got that going for them, 500 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: which is well, for a while, until your your charger 501 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: runs out or until you've run out of gas, you 502 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: got always roll with one of those little external battery packs. 503 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: Pro tip, everybody keep one in your backpack all the time. 504 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to tell folks here about our 505 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: sponsor Black Rifle Coffee.

We would love to hear from 529 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: me eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two. 530 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: We're just talking about the what fifteen hours that some 531 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: spent on five in a pile up. It was caused 532 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: by a few tractor trailers were involved in a crash 533 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: and obviously snow on the roads, and the whole thing 534 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: was a total mess. Coming up will also be joined 535 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: in the third hour of the program by Senator Rand 536 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: Paul Doctor as we'd like to point out, and Senator 537 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: Rand Paul Clay. I just I got written up in 538 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: a in a hit piece for saying that clinging to 539 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: masks is a mental health issue. At this point, people 540 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: really are peace on you for that. Media, you know, 541 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: not at only people in the media, actually MEDIAID. But 542 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: it's pretty funny because while we were just talking before, 543 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,239 Speaker 1: I just want to know, like this is why we 544 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: need to start having debate and exchange with people on 545 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: these issues in a public forum in real time, not 546 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: interviews that people are editing and piecing together. But I 547 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: really want I want to invite on any of the 548 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: smarmie libs in media who want to make jokes about 549 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: you're so dumb if you don't believe in masks, explain 550 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: how Fauci says they work. But doctor Lena Wynn, and also, 551 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: by the way, former FDA chief doctor Scott Gottlieb, had 552 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: this to say a couple of days ago. Cloth masks 553 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: aren't going to provide a lot of protection. That's the 554 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,959 Speaker 1: bottom line. This is an airborne illness. We now understand that, 555 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: and a cloth mask is not going to protect you 556 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: from a virus that spreads through airborne transmission. It could 557 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: protect better through a droplet transmission, something like the flu, 558 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: but not something like this coronavirus. It does not work 559 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: for something like this coronavirus. So can we stop please? 560 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm begging the it's in the media out 561 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: there on this one issue. Can they just stop pretending 562 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: that there's this consensus. I mean, they can say masks work, 563 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: because then it goes, well, we don't know how well. 564 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: If you don't know that it works really well, the 565 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: idea that you would mandate this for people and act. 566 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: There was a time, Clay, you remember this when if 567 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: you weren't willing to do it, you were killing people's grandparents. 568 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: That's what they were telling to you. You were you 569 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: were basically guilty of murder if you wouldn't wear a mask. 570 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: These libs are out of their minds, and it's sad 571 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: to watch. You remember the reaction from some people who 572 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: were furious when I went to the local school board 573 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: and argued against kids having to wear masks here in 574 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: my local public school district where my two youngest kids go. 575 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: And fortunately they've not had to wear masks here all 576 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: throughout this entire school year. And by the way, that's 577 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: one reason why you can't buy a house in good 578 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: school districts right now in Florida and Texas and Tennessee 579 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: and places like this, because they're such an overwhelming demand 580 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: right now from people who are fleeing New York and 581 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: California and the Chicago area in Illinois in particular, if 582 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: you look at the net migration numbers, that's where people 583 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: are leaving from. And we had that great conversation with 584 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:28,479 Speaker 1: Crystal Mankowitz, who's one of your friends, who was Carol Mark, Carol, Yeah, 585 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: and that is becoming a trend line. If you look 586 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: at the census data, beyond the shadow of a doubt, 587 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: the amount of people fleeing is they're voting with their feet. 588 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: And by the way, if they thought they were safer 589 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: in blue states, then people from red states would be 590 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: moving there. That's not occurring at all. And I've learned 591 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: something important this week, Lay, and that is, from now on, 592 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: when it's any major news organization or even minor one 593 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: that takes a swing at me, and you could do 594 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: this one too, I'm just gonna respond clearly, they have 595 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: hair envy and have some sort of weird attraction to me, 596 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: and that's really what this is all about. I think 597 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: that was that was finally AOC getting at a little 598 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: ahead of herself in a way where even her own 599 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: side couldn't cover for it. No, I don't think there's 600 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: any doubt. And by the way, I keep expecting for 601 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: people to rip me for saying the same things that 602 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: you do, and it's like they won't even take a 603 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: shot at me. I don't. I don't even like it's 604 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: not like you said something on the show yesterday about 605 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: mass not working that I disagree with or that I 606 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: haven't tweeted myself. I don't, I don't know. I guess 607 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: I guess they figure, you know, it's just if they 608 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: can get it one of us, they'll they'll put pressure 609 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: on both of us. But all the data and all 610 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: the all the actual information coming out here is supportive 611 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: of what we've been saying. Man, I I sit here 612 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: and I want to know, think about some of the 613 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: debates that you could have right now if we lived 614 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: in a society that's still valued free speech, and if 615 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: the corporate legacy democrat media made any real effort to 616 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: get to the truth instead of having a narrative that 617 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: Remember we always say it's about control, but it's about 618 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,719 Speaker 1: controlling the context of power. These people want to be 619 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: in charge, they want their team in charge, and so 620 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: COVID then becomes a proxy for everything else too, because 621 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: if they aren't backing them on this, they worry that 622 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: then you know, you won't have you transgender athletes that 623 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: are men competing against women, and they won't have you know, 624 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: abortion in all fifty states, and they will know you 625 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: go down the list. So for them, it's all interconnected, 626 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: which means they can never have any fundamental honesty, even 627 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: about this issue that's supposed to be non political. Remember 628 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: when that was the talk in the early days, people 629 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: like fout You say, you know, decision about politics, it's science, 630 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: and people are saying, yeah, yeah, sure it is. Then 631 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: Cuomo would give his speeches. Oh yeah, I remember that 632 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: guy Clay. They don't have anyone who could stand up 633 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: and defend their positions on masks, who could defend the 634 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: stop the spread, who could defend lockdowns as worthwhile. They 635 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: would get annihilated, which why we've offered we've offered those 636 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: people buck to come on the show. We reached out 637 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: to Fuci, we would have doctor Lena went on, Like 638 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: any of these people that are trying to make the arguments, 639 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: you can come on, you can speak to the largest 640 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: radio audience in the country, and you can make your 641 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: case and we will push back because we're not just 642 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: gonna allow somebody to come on and spread things that 643 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: are not true. But we can have a legitimate debate. 644 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: They won't do it. I mean, Fauci, you could ask 645 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: him these questions and know that he does not have 646 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: the answer, and that's a big deal. How long does 647 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: the actual vaccine booster protection. Last, he doesn't know they 648 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: have a guess. Okay, so how many more shots are 649 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: you gonna have to get? He doesn't know how well 650 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: do masks protect people, even if they wear them cloth 651 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: masks properly one hundred percent of the time they're exposed. 652 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: He couldn't even he couldn't even ballpark a number play. 653 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: He does not have answers to these things. If people knew, 654 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: if they had to hear him go it's about mitigation 655 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: and the measures, and you know, the usual dance and 656 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,959 Speaker 1: crap that he does, they would realize this guy doesn't 657 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: even know what he's doing. But they protect him all 658 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: the time. They protect him all the time, and they 659 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: don't even allow him to be questioned.
