I remember that interview and kind 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: of think a doctor's opinion on COVID worth letting people 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: here not to mention that he is a democratically elected 19 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: senator and also that he's up for reelection, and so 20 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: if you disagree, you should be able to hear all 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: of the opinions of those that you agree and disagree 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: with in order to become a more informed citizenry. That 23 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: is the foundation of democracy.

So 29 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: not allowing a media outlet to post an interview that 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: they did with a sitting United States senator, to me, 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: represents a fundamentally anti democratic act by YouTube, and we 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: need you guys to support us and subscribe to us 33 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: any way imaginable.

And 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not sure that we've ever had 38 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: Buck more necessity for people speaking out and saying what 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: the truth is the stock market right now, as we 40 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: are speaking down a thousand points, there are many reasons, 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: as there always are in market financed reasons why the 42 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: stock market would be down a thousand points. But a 43 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: big part of it, I believe, is what's going on 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and the uncertainty in Europe and Joe Biden's 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: failed the leadership is having consequences everywhere, and it's really 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: the failed leadership of the Democratic Party in general and 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: out in California. I know a lot of you are 48 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: listening to us, and I know a lot of you 49 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: are fed up with what you're seeing. We just played 50 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: you the idiot governor from New York talking about mask 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: because the equivalent of shoes. Crime is skyrocketing everywhere. Biden 52 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: doesn't have a solution for that. He doesn't have a 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: solution for inflation. But listen to Gavin Newsom saying, Hey, 54 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: near the train yards where everybody's been stealing all these packages, 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: it looks like a third world country. Yeah, that's what 56 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: we've been saying for a while, Bud. I see what 57 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: you see. I see what you've been covering. You see 58 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: what everybody's seeing, asking myself, what the hell is going on? 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: You look like the third world country. These images, the 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: drawing images, were on the night the news day in 61 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: and day out, some networks weaponizing them for their own 62 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: and political Jenda and others just reporting the damn dus 63 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: fairly and appropriately, And all I can say is we 64 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: need all of us to recognize art collective and individual 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: responsibility to do more and start supporting one another address 66 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: these issues. Clay, this is not surprising at all. First 67 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: of all, I think Gavin Newsom's he is not dumb. 68 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: He's just completely shameless and without any moral core to 69 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: speak of and real leadership. Gavin Newsom will say whatever 70 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: he needs to do in the moment for the benefit 71 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: of Gavin Newsom and the Democrat Party's uniparty control of 72 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: the state of California. So start with that. This is 73 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: amazing that this guy goes down. He's like, oh gosh, 74 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: look at all these packages strewn about everywhere, all these 75 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: people doing the stealing. Is such a bad thing. Wow, 76 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: somebody really should have been on this for a while. 77 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like the guy in Casablanca's shocked 78 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: shocks to find gambling going on in this establishment. Yeah, no, crap, 79 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: no surprise. When you stop enforcing criminal laws against things 80 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: like stealing, when you stop arresting people for that thing 81 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: about this, If you don't arrest somebody, what you're you're 82 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: gonna give them a fine. Does anyone think that the 83 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: career criminals that might get some kind of a ticket 84 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: to a peer or a ticket to pay a fine, 85 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: give a you know what about that? And Clay is 86 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: this is all part of the same package of left 87 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: wing lunacy that they've unveiled in cities across the country 88 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: where Democrats have total control, you know, and they have 89 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Now they set up these sites where 90 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: you can inject drugs. And we're not even talking about marijuana, folks, Okay, 91 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about hardcore injection of heroin. They've set up 92 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: sites now, so now there's open air drug use in 93 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: San Francisco parks. Is any person listening to this surprised 94 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: at all to find out that the open air drug 95 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: market and injection centers that San Francisco has set up 96 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: are an abject catastrophe that London breed. The Mayor of 97 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: San Francisco has had to declare a state of crime emergency, 98 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: that they've had to flood cops into some of these zones. 99 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: Now up the budgets for law enforcement, increase their overtime, 100 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: because it turns out when you let people who are 101 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: drug addicted do this in full view of everybody out 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: in the public. Those people are also often deeply psychologically 103 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: and emotionally unwell. Some of them have long standing criminal history, 104 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: and some of them are a threat to the public 105 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: and just now we're supposed to I mean, how do 106 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: they not know this? But really it's ideology. I mean 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: they worship at the church of leftism, and all of 108 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: a sudden they're finding out that that has really bad consequences. Clay, 109 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: I love that Gavin Newsom said, some of them people 110 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: are using that for their own, you know, their own benefit, 111 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: as opposed to just covering it like the news. Everybody's 112 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: disgusted buck this idea. Oh like if Fox News is 113 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: showing those clips of the packages being looted in LA, 114 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: that's not appropriate. They're using it for their own purposes. Yeah, 115 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 1: their own purposes are This is wrong. It should be fixed. 116 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: That's what the job of the media often is, or 117 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: at least used to be, shining a bright light on 118 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: public policy failures and trying to make those public policy 119 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: failures get remedied. That's the very essence of what the 120 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: media's jobs should be. And they did such a good 121 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: job that Gavin Newsom at least had to acknowledge this 122 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: because if there wasn't the media footage of this, he 123 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: would have pretended like hunky dory, nothing's a problem. Here's 124 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: also I think why they they have and it's it 125 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: is it was great journalistic work to show this because 126 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: what the thefts going on along the trains there? And 127 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: can I just point out to everybody Gavin Newsom is 128 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: such a slimy little coward that he has already the 129 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: Union Pacific Railroad thefts are up one hundred and sixty 130 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: percent in the last year, okay, last year alone. Gavin 131 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: Newsom is out there apologizing Clay for calling the thieves gangs. 132 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: He has said, now, forgive me, this is real, folks, 133 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: is quote forgive me. They're organized groups. You know, this 134 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: is this is unpermissioned retail reappropriation. This isn't gang theft. 135 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: So that's part one is that he's still and we're active. 136 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: Gangs is offensive. Gangs is offensive? Tell gangs of New York, 137 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you go back at history, You've 138 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: used the term gang for a long time. But beyond that, 139 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: the visualization of the thefts along the California railroads when 140 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: you see it, you recognize this is happening every single day. 141 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: This is systemic. This is actually going on throughout the 142 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: whole trains. It's not even just in this one part 143 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: of California. I can assure you this is happening all 144 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: over their state in places where they have these train depots, 145 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: and people realize that this is an easy way to 146 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: steal stuff. And obviously the state didn't care until now. 147 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: This isn't a hard thing to figure out. Clay, think 148 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: of all of the reported thefts that must have gone on, 149 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: and they just let it happen. They just let it happen. 150 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: I think people have become a little bit terrified because 151 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: you've started to see the caricatures of the past that 152 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: we've had of the left and of liberals when it 153 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: comes to crime. Oh it's not I mean as home 154 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: invasion really that big a deal. If they're just breaking 155 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: into your house to steal your stuff, like maybe they 156 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: need it more than you do. They're actually and I 157 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: mean district at nis, I mean mayors, they're making those cases, 158 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: have been making those cases publicly. If folks, it's time 159 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: for a nationwide house cleaning of leftist absurdity on crime. 160 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: That's what needs I hope Republicans lean into this in 161 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: the mid terms. They should. And again, the thing that 162 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: I keep hammering on this and one hundred percent true 163 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: is not being concerned about crime is a luxury of 164 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: a low crime environment. Believing that people should not be 165 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: imprisoned is a luxury of a low crime environment. And 166 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: what we see happen time after time is the people 167 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: who are going to end up committing violent crimes either 168 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: have done it in their past. Look at what happened 169 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: with the Waukesha Look at what happened with that girl 170 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: working in the furniture shop in la Look at what 171 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: happened with the woman on the platform in New York 172 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: who got shoved right in front of the train. All 173 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: of the people that have committed those crimes, by and 174 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: large are often people with huge rap sheets that should 175 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: have never been on the street. Ironically, maybe the only 176 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: thing buck that Joe Biden's almost gotten right in his 177 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: entire history was the ninety four crime Bill, which he 178 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: now repudiates, but that helped in a massive way to 179 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: drive down the overall rates of crime all over this country. 180 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,359 Speaker 1: You know that this is because of the Church of liberalism. 181 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: When you think about the irony here of how many 182 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: leftists Democrats in America today Clay that are in favor 183 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: of incarcerating people for mask violations, are in favor of 184 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: sending people to not just quarantine camps, but camps for 185 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: the unvaccinated. We talked about those numbers recently. You know, 186 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: thirty forty percent of Democrats are believe that your kids 187 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: should be taken from you if you're a Democrat and 188 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: you're not vaccinated. The same people who are making the 189 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: case about incarcerating you for violations of fauciism will turn 190 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: around and say, yeah, so we have a career violent criminal. 191 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: We shouldn't lock him up for a long time because 192 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: it might hurt his job prospects. They think the four 193 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: is about public safety and the latter does not matter. 194 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: And that is what the country is seeing the results 195 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: of right now. You have to lock up some people 196 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: for a long time, not just because you need to 197 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: punish them, but because they are actually a danger to 198 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: the public, a bigger danger than failing to double mask 199 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: alone outside. And by the way, you also can't be 200 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: concerned with whether or not it is a diverse and 201 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: inclusive group of prisoners. You lock up the people who 202 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: commit violent crimes regardless. That's so funny, buck. Nobody ever 203 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: says that our crime laws are sexist, even though men 204 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: are overwhelmingly charged with violent men all basically all the murders, 205 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: ninety plus percent of the murders are men. That's right, 206 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: you go where the crime is. It's not sexist that 207 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: men are in prison more than women. It's because men 208 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: are more violent than women. And so you find violent offenders, 209 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: most of whom will be mail, and you put them 210 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: in prison, and then you do it over and over 211 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: and over again for years, and eventually you can help 212 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: to solve the issues that befall the country today. How 213 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: I kick off every morning with a cup of delicious 214 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: Black Rifle coffee.

We were happy to see 241 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: that at least some lives and Clay I will say 242 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: that is probably the most left wing audience the Bill 243 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: Maher audience that you will come across, you know, anywhere 244 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: in the media landscape. On a TV show. They were cheering, 245 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: like how you would break that? I mean, I manage. 246 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: I've been on that show twice. Once was right before 247 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: the pandemic and once was about I don't know, maybe 248 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: six months before the pandemic. And it's when you have 249 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: people that are just gonna boo everything that you say 250 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: when you're conservative, that can be a tough one. They clapped, 251 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: and I think it's because everyone's starting to realize that 252 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: unless they stop, this goes on forever with the COVID 253 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: mitigation stuff. But not everybody, Not everybody is happy to 254 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: see that sanity is getting a toehold, even on the left, 255 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: a toehold. The left is still crazy. Fauci is not done. 256 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: He's not leaving until the Republicans take back power in 257 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: the mid terms, because then, I mean, I would want 258 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: them to hold hearings every day where they essentially just 259 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: groll that guy and make him answer for Fauci crying 260 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: and apologizing to America for his failures. I think he's 261 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: the most disastrous public official in living memory in the 262 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: United States, and who has caused more harm, more misery, 263 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: more destruction to the economy, and more psychological distress and 264 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: push more people to self harm in America than any 265 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: other person you can possibly think of. And I honestly 266 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: believe that, and I believe that for months and months 267 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: now based on the data. So I think he's horrible. 268 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: I really I mean that. And since he's never coming 269 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: on the show, I guess we can just you know, 270 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: put all our cards on the table. But here over 271 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: at the at the view Clay, Oh no, how dare 272 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: Bill Maher talk about sanity and being reasonable? Whoopie Goldberg 273 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: will have none of it. That's not really funny. To 274 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: people who have lost their kids to this vaccine, of 275 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: people who've lost family members or dear friends to this, 276 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: it's it's just, you know, listen, nobody on the planet 277 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: really wants to go through this. This is not something 278 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: we're doing because it's you know, sexually gratifying. This is 279 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: what we're doing to protect our families. And you don't 280 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: have to do it. But stay away from everybody, because 281 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: if you're the one who's not paying the attention and 282 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: your coffin and sneezing. You don't want to then stay 283 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: out in the public. We get it, we get it. 284 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, here's the there's a lot of problems. 285 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: I bother. She was reacting to Bill Maher saying mask on, 286 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: mask off, mask between bites, this is for morons, and 287 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: he's right, by the way, and everyone listening to this 288 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: knows he's right. So she hates that. But notice how 289 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: her thing is fine. You don't want to do it. 290 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: You just don't ever get to go into society ever. Again. 291 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry the neurotics don't get to have their totalitarianism forever. That. 292 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: That's actually not acceptable to me. It's also not effective 293 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: even if you are Remember, there used to be a 294 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: morality angle to whether or not you got COVID. People 295 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: try to, oh, how did you get it? Oh were 296 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: you not wearing the mask? Oh did you go to something? 297 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: And then everybody got omicron and suddenly it got way 298 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: more difficult to make it a morality based angle. Oh 299 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: you got it. Even though you wear masks all day 300 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: every day, and you got double vaxed and you got boostered, 301 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: and you have limited your being inside of public places, 302 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter everybody's gonna get this. Even Saint 303 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: Fauci of the left wing is saying it. So the 304 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: logic here doesn't even apply because you can be double boosted, 305 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: triple boosted quite some of these people. Buck talking about 306 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: some mass psychosis. There's an article the other day some 307 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: people have gotten eight or nine or ten shots. Buck. 308 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: They have continued to go over and over and over again, 309 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: which probably is going to create its own possible ability 310 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: to have all the chaos there. Let's establish another double 311 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: standard that's quite obvious here at Clay. Why isn't the 312 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: media Remember in the media was making fun of Joe 313 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: Rogan for hors d Wurmer, total slander. Remember when the 314 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: media was making fun of people, Ah, they're so stupid 315 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: for drinking fish tank cleaner because they confused it with hydroxy, 316 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: which wasn't even true. That was a whole other thing. 317 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: I was a fabrication. And they said the hospitals were 318 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: full of people taking hydroxy chloroquin, also a lie. Notice 319 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: how they don't make fun of or they don't even 320 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: point out the stupidity of taking eight shots or ten 321 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: shots were out of their minds. It's obviously crazy, psychologically unstable, 322 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: and we are allowing their instability to govern the wives 323 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: and many people out there, your kids, your family. It's nonsense. 324 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: Mike Lindell's the inventor of mind Pillow. He has a 325 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: passion to help you get the best sleep of your life. 326 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: His team fit us for our very own my pillows 327 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: among their other incredible products.

Now, James, what's the latest 349 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: on the It's crazy to say this, but the FBI 350 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: investigation into the daughter of Joe Biden. The journal like 351 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: kind of fill people in on how crazy this whole 352 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: story has been. Well, the latest, I mean, it's hard 353 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: to summarize in a New York commute, but I'll do 354 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: my best. The federal judge ordered the FBI stop going 355 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: through my phones. Federal judges signed what's called a special 356 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: master to oversee the FBI after the FBI raided my 357 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: home took my two iPhones, which is a horrible violation 358 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: of my rights as an American journalist. Again, a source 359 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: transmitted me the daughter of the president's diary some year 360 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: year a few months ago. We didn't think it was 361 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: stolen now is coming out. It wasn't, but even if 362 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: it was, it was my right as a reporter to 363 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: receive information and publish it. I chose not to. So 364 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: a lot of unanswered questions, and you know, this one's 365 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: just a complete stunner. It doesn't make any sense why 366 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice execute a federal search warrant on 367 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: a journalist's home for a source transmitting a document. US 368 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: attorneys in the Southern District of New York argued before 369 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: the judge that I'm quote not a journalist because I, quote, 370 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: don't it get to consent from the people I report 371 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: on buck This is an argument so absurd and so 372 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: preposterous it was rejected by the judge. But the question remains, 373 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: why is my government targeting me? Is it because I'm 374 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: doing the right thing? Is it because we're exposing what 375 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: people don't want exposed? Well, that's the paragon of journalism. 376 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: It's what I write about in this book called American Muckraker. 377 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: Certainly they've been coming after me for years for exposing 378 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: what people don't want exposed. But there's a lot of 379 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: unanswered questions, and I don't know what the answer to 380 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: those questions are. Yeah, James, I mean, I'm sorry to 381 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: pose another question that I think you probably will have 382 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: a difficult time answering because I'm not sure in fact, 383 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: out Wage or the DJ couldn't even really answer it. 384 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: But even even taking their stolen property premise for a moment, 385 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: and I'm essentially asking you now to go into the 386 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: minds of the American checa for those who are historians 387 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: or know about the secret police inside of Russia pre 388 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: kgb um. They're telling you that it was a stolen 389 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: a stolen journal. How is that a federal crime? That's 390 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: the part of the how would that be the FBI? 391 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's someone's diary, first of all. Well, 392 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: first of all, it appears not to be not to 393 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: have been stolen by virtue of their own admissions in 394 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: recent revelations and documents and New York Times stories where 395 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: it was a banned in it right, important point, James. 396 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: But but let's just say, I mean, I'm trying to 397 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: say their pretext here, which clearly it is a pretext. 398 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: Care man, I don't think they care. I really don't. 399 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: I was incarcerated in twenty ten in a story which 400 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: I write about American Quaker where they had me in shackles, 401 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: and they said, oh, you'd the boy that did m 402 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: acorn story. They're referring to a story that about Acorn. 403 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: These federal officials in New Orleans, we remember that one. Yeah, 404 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: And then they said, oh, you the boy that did 405 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: the Aco We're gonna have to keep you over not 406 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: this is about power. This isn't about justice or law 407 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: or standards or anything. They would never ever ever raid 408 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: a home of a sixty minutes reporter, obviously, because that 409 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: would create a backlash, and in this case, Buck, it 410 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: did create a bashlash by the ACLU. The a CLU 411 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 1: defended me, The Reporters Committee defended me. The Society Professional Journalist. 412 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: How many times in your career have you, guys, seen 413 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: the ACLU defend someone like me? Because the Supreme Court 414 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: of the United States is established in bart Nikki Viev 415 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: Opera from two thousand and one, that a journalist has 416 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: a right, a constitutional right to receive a document from 417 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: a source, even if that document was stolen by a 418 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: third party, so long as I had nothing to do 419 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: with the theft. Why the FBI is rating journalists homes 420 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: over someone's diary, Well, that's a question. You know, that's 421 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: a question. It seems to have a self evident answer, 422 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: but I don't want to speculate. But furthermore, why are 423 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: the FEDS involved? And obviously, you know is slightly terrifying 424 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: at the time, but we has not stopped us. If anything, 425 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: that's emboldened us. More people are coming to us now 426 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: than ever before because they seem to trust us by 427 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: virtue of the fact that we are being targeted by 428 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: our government. Well, first of all, I give credit to 429 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: the ACLU for standing on principle here as opposed to 430 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: standing on politics, because it's one hundred percent the right 431 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: side to be defending you. But we know that the 432 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: ACOU has not always been standing on principle of late. 433 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: But I just want to ask you this, James. I 434 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: think it's kind of a fascinating question. Imagine that Avanka 435 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: Trump had had a journal that contained potentially disparaging commentary 436 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: about Donald Trump, and that ernol had made its way 437 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: to a journalist, and while Trump was president, the FBI 438 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: had rated that journalists home. The resulting fallout is what 439 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: I mean. It's it's that that's a paradox because because 440 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: that would never happen it's an American paradox, and I 441 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: think that this we're living through history. I don't know 442 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: how else to put it. I write in this book, 443 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: American muckraker, you know the suffering that we have to 444 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: endure citizens for doing the right thing, and the pain. 445 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: Clearly you have to be a masochist to do what 446 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: we do here. Because no one wants to be in handcuffs. 447 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: They put me in handcuffs. They had a battering ram 448 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: at six am, and they rated my home, and it 449 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: was a kind of psychological carnage for doing the right thing, 450 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: by the way, because you want it. You want to 451 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: be presented with a paradox. Here is one. What should 452 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: I have done? If someone sends me a document, we 453 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: try to corroborate it. I failed to, or at least 454 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: I thought I failed to authenticate document. It appears to 455 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: have been authenticated by now. But at the time you 456 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: stumble across something as a reporter, you try to corroborate. 457 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: You try to do do the right thing. And I said, 458 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't think public eye should see this, 459 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: these these writings, because I can't verify them if they occurred, 460 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: and if it belongs to her. With one hundred percent accuracy, 461 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: and then I tried to give it back to local 462 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: law enforcement in Florida, and then my home gets ready 463 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: and they put me in handcuffs. So this is a 464 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: dystopian piece of science fiction. But I think if you 465 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: keep going, and this is the message of my book, 466 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: American Muckraker, if you keep going. We just had a 467 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: story last week involving documents from the Department of Defense 468 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: that then Anthony Fauci talked about them in the Senate. 469 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: The source came to us with those documents precisely because 470 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: the FBI is targeting Project Veritas, and because the New 471 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: York Times it works in harmony with the FBI. This 472 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,120 Speaker 1: is the reality that we're living, and we have to 473 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: figure out how to do journalism in clown world. We're 474 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: speaking to James O'Keefe. He has a new book out, 475 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: American Muckraker, and James, I'm just gonna put this out there. 476 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: How many journalists even in back channel, right, because obviously 477 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: if you work at CNN or New York Times, whom 478 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: I think our journalistic entities that are devoted to the 479 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: destruction of conservatism and conservatives generally, but you specifically I 480 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: think that's fair to say. I think they would be 481 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: very pleased to see you not only ruined professionally, but 482 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: even in prison if they could, if they could get 483 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: away with it. Do any journalists though, reach out to 484 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: you who are from mainstream publications and say, hey, I 485 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: just appreciate that you actually do what we pretend to do. 486 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: Or are they too scared? I would say they're too 487 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: scared to say that publicly. Many do reach out, Some, 488 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: in fact, do do it publicly. Ben Smith at the 489 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: New York Times, and I think he was quite courageous. 490 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: Now what's ironic is that he just left The New 491 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: York Times. I don't know if these two are related. 492 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: Ben Smith came out and said journalists should not be 493 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: cheerleading the attacks against Project Ritas, And once Ben gave 494 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: others the permission to do so, you had a lot 495 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: of others come out, like Trevor tim at Freedom of 496 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: the Press Foundation. But most of these things that people 497 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: say are said covertly. You know, for example, we have 498 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: a story, I'll break a little news on your program 499 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: of New York Times reporters who are you know, you know, 500 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: covertly recorded that's going to be coming out in a 501 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: few weeks, and the things that they say and the 502 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: things that we've heard people say inside CNN is that 503 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: CNN is not doing what they're supposed to do. But 504 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: most of these people, of course want them. They have 505 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: their mortgage, and they have their pensions, and they have 506 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: their material possessions in life, and they're too afraid to 507 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: go against the established narratives because, let's face it, the 508 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: New York Times and CNN have enormous power because of 509 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: the power that's granted to them by the algorithms at tech. 510 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: So if you go against that orthodoxy will be you 511 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: will be targeted, defamed, you know, have your reputation dragged 512 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: through the mud, and people just don't like that. I 513 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: write about in this book, how to survive that psychological abuse, 514 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: how to deal with it, how to muster the strength 515 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: and sometimes the courage by telling the stories of people 516 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 1: who did blow the whistle and did take those arrows. 517 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: And it's not as bad as you might think, particularly 518 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: in this day and age, when there is the majority 519 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: of people on our side. James O'Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, 520 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: American Muckraker, is the book James, Stay Safe, Man, Come 521 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: Back and talk to us, tell us how the fight goes. 522 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, my friends.

That's what we're talking about here, invasion. 550 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: You have two industrialized Western countries in Europe that maybe 551 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: coming two blows here in a serious way. And what 552 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: does that mean for the Biden administration response? What does 553 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: it mean possibly for the United States military? Big implications 554 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: of it and does anyone really think that Joe Biden 555 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: and his team are up for the challenge. I can 556 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: tell you I think the answer on this show is no. 557 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: But we will get into some of the specifics and 558 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: also just breakdown what's happening over there, and then we've 559 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: got some more on just the Biden presidency being a 560 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: mess in general, coming up here in a moment. Oh 561 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: and something very interesting from Nut Gangwich on January sixth. 562 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: We can get to that as well. What happens when 563 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: the Republicans are in control. I want to make a 564 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: case about that. Julia in Texas, the Great state of Julia. 565 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: What's going on? Well? In your interview with doctor ram Paul, 566 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: he states that, in his opinion, it's medical malpractice for 567 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: a physician to give COVID gabs to children. So I 568 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: believe that's why the interview is being censored. But why 569 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: if that's his opinion as a doctor, why would that 570 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: be valid to censor him? It's both his opinion as 571 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: a doctor and his opinion as a senator. If you 572 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: disagree with that, and you're certainly welcome to disagree with it, 573 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: then you could vote against him. Wouldn't you want to 574 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: be exposed to his opinions either way, so that you 575 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: could have a more educated opinion as a voter of 576 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: whether to support or not support a candidate. Right, I 577 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: agree with you, and I think he's correct. I just 578 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: think you're not allowed to pay that allowed. I'm pretty sure, 579 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: Julie actually are team looked at this and based on 580 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: the YouTube policies that were shared under the strike that 581 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: they gave us that has now suspended the account for 582 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: a week. It's masks masks is he said, masks do 583 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: not work, and you are not allowed to say masks 584 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: do not work. You're not allowed to say that. That's 585 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: the YouTube police come for you if you say that 586 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: more than anything else. Again, Buck, I would just come 587 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: back to and this is for people out there who 588 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: didn't hear this. You're just getting in your car. Buck 589 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: just kind of gave you a summary. Our YouTube account 590 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: on the radio show has been suspended for a week 591 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: because we shared an interview with Rand Paul sharing that opinion. 592 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: That's pretty revolutionary, anti democratic move by YouTube to determine 593 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: that Ran Paul cannot have that opinion. And by the way, 594 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: the data does reflect that masks do not stop the 595 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: spread of COVID. I just retweeted our guy at Ian 596 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: MSc ian I believe, who has a book out. He 597 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: compares the overall rate of COVID infection in Texas, which 598 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: has no mask mandate or vaccine mandate, with the state 599 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: of California. Much of the state of California has both 600 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: a mask and a vaccine mandate. California has had a 601 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: higher rate of COVID infection this winner than Texas has. 602 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: If masks worn't, that certainly would be impossible. So but regardless, 603 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: my big picture on it is you should be able 604 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: to hear sitting senator's opinions to make a choice about 605 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,719 Speaker 1: whether or not you want to support him. Adam in 606 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: Crystal River, Florida, Adam welcome, Thank you, Clay love John 607 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: OutKick and followed you to this show. But I need 608 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: some advice. Yes, as a Bucks fan, I feel your pain. 609 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: After exerting my frustration in heartache, my fifteen year old 610 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: daughter asked me, why do I get so upset over 611 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: team's loss of players that I don't know personally, but 612 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: don't get nearly upset when my daughters lose their soccer game. 613 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: I had no answer for her, and she stepped me. 614 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: How do I explain myself in my actions? That's a 615 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: very good question. So one easy out for you is 616 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: you judge professionals to a higher standard than you do children. 617 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: Easy out for you is those people are making millions 618 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: of dollars, so when they make mistakes, you get more 619 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: angry at them than you do at your daughters soccer 620 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: teammates when they make mistakes because they're not professionals and 621 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: they're still playing at a young age. That is the 622 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: explanation that I think makes by far the most sense. 623 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: And I am still buck furious to the point that 624 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: I guarantee you I will have trouble sleeping for a 625 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: third straight night over my Tennessee Titans losing to the 626 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals and choking away the game. And I am 627 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: way too old, and I recognize that it makes no 628 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: logical sense, and I realize that it makes me sound ridiculous, 629 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: but I will not be able to sleep well for 630 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: a third straight night now. To be fair, when my 631 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: nine and ten year old team that I coached basketball, 632 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: when we lost a game and I thought I had 633 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: done a bad job coaching it, we lost the championship game, 634 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: I also had trouble sleeping then. Now that time I 635 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: was directly connected to it. But I know there's a 636 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: lot of people out there listening to me right now, 637 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: Packers fans, especially, a lot of people in Milwaukee, a 638 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of people down in Tampa Bay, a lot of 639 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: people in Nashville, and and a lot of people in Buffalo, 640 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: for sure that are in the exact same boat as 641 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: me having trouble sleep. I used to yell a lot 642 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: when I was on sports teams, at my team, with 643 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: my team, for my team, and when I coached, I 644 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: also like to yell. I just lacked that emotional I 645 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: think it's because I went to a college where the 646 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: football team, like the linemen, were about my size, so 647 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: it was D three, it was tiny. No one cared, 648 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: so it was very tough to get excited about it 649 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: in any meaningful way. Barbara, we got one more time 650 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: for one more? Barbara got about a minute west Jordan, Utah. Hey, Barbara, Hey, 651 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: how are yeah? First of the ball? Things for what 652 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: you guys do? I love with mean to you, and 653 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: it's fun to see how you to our friends and 654 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 1: complimentary to each other and respectful. Here's my point. England 655 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: and Ireland have both come up saying we're back to regular, 656 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: no more mass, no more backs cards or open venues. 657 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: I can see Biden when he had done his campaign promises, 658 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: saying that COVID is going to be over this summer. 659 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: He's going to pull in England and an Ireland as 660 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: they see I have done it. The Democrats have linked 661 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: COVID and it's going to be just before the mid 662 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: term elections to get the Democrats leg up on the elections. 663 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: I think you may be correct, Barbara. You know what 664 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: Clay and I will address is a great point. We'll 665 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: address this. Is it forever fauciism or are they going 666 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: to pull up a switch to win the elections and 667 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: the mid terms we'll talk about it coming up. You're 668 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sex to fund the 669 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: EIB Network.
