1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back into the Clay Travis and 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We appreciate you hanging with us. We 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: have a fantastic guest, an expert in fact, to join 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: us now, Doctor Nicole Sapphire, a full time practicing physician 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: here in the New York City area where I am. 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: She's also a Fox News contributor and best selling author 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: of Make America Healthy Again and Panic Attack, Playing Politics 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: with Science in the Fight against COVID nineteen. Doctor Sapphire, 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: first time on the show. Thanks so much, Hey, thanks 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: for having me. Looking forward to it. So what is 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: your feeling on the back and forth now on the 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 1: plane mask mandate? And also what is it with all 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: these epidemiologists who are wearing loosely drape cloth masks on 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: their faces in the airport and thinking that it's some 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: kind of protest. Yeah, you know, I mean, it's really 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: to be honest, I mean, we laugh about it because 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: it is such a grace what is happening right now 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: in the back and forth, But I mean it's really 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: quite devastating in terms of public health and just our 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: overall trust of our public health entities. You know, pre covid, 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: I would say that I was a huge supporter and 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: proponent of the CDC and FDA, And unfortunately, as we 24 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: have seen throughout the course of the last two years, 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: the political nonsense that's happened, you know, the big issue 26 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: with masking its devices. Divisive, undoubtedly, but at the end 27 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: of the day, it really should just be scientific. It's 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: not about being Republican or Democrat, or you know, too 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: cautious or not cautious enough. But the bottom line is 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: we have failed as a scientific community to prove or 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: really disprove that masks work. And just like people who 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: are refusing to fly when there was a mask mandate, 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: the people who are now refusing not to fly because 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: the mandate's been removed, they're both being dramatic and certainly 35 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: not science driven. Dodger Sapphire, first of all, thanks coming 36 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: on this, Clay. I wish we could go back in 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: time and sort of make public health decisions more rationally. 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: One of the things that will happen, whether we like 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: it or not, is twenty years from now there will 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: be big, massively best selling books likely to be written 41 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: about the way and beyond certainly the way we responded 42 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: to COVID. What do you think those books will be 43 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: saying about many of the choices we made, whether it 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: was masking, whether it was taking kids out of school, 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: whether it was social distancing. In your mind, and I 46 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: know it's always hard to judge in the middle of 47 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: historical moments, but his history going to say, hey, you 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: know what, the United States, they're a really good job 49 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: responding to COVID, or for the most part, are we 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: going to say most of the things that we were 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: prescribed to do didn't really have that much of an impact. 52 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: Well as someone who actually wrote a book about the 53 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: politicization of science again the way that we handled it, 54 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: in fact, pandemic. In fact, let me give you before 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: you answered, let me go ahead and tell you and 56 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: everyone out there listening all about this book. It's called 57 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: Make America Healthy Again, panic attack, playing politics with science 58 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: in the fight against COVID nineteen. Historically we say what 59 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: so well, make America Healthy Again? Just you know, was 60 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: a pre COVID book, Panic attack during COVID difficult about it? 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: And there it's the exact same issues that we're dealing with. 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: What we have failed to do. From an American public 63 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: health standpoint is we failed to prove that a lot 64 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: of our measures actually worked. And actually, you know, looking 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: back retrospectively when it came to lockdowns and keeping kids 66 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: out of schools, all of those we have shown that 67 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: there was more damage than there's actually benefit. And maybe 68 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: we could have excused some of these measures that were 69 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: done in haste in the first three months, in six 70 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: months when there was an unknown when we didn't know 71 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: much about the virus, we didn't have the ability to 72 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: test for it, We certainly didn't know how to treat it. 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: In fact, some of our treatments turned out to make 74 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: things worse. We didn't have vaccine for it. Now fast 75 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: forward to two years in that excuse is no longer 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: there anymore. We have over nine of our country has 77 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: some level of immunity boosters, tests, treatments are readily available. 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Now is the time that we should be having more 79 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: freedom and tailor our actions to individual risks. These blanket 80 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: universal mandates have no place in the United States anymore. 81 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: And the biggest fumble in my opinion when it comes 82 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: to how we responded to this pandemic is how we 83 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: are still continuing to fight to keep some of these 84 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: mandates which have proven over and over again that they 85 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: did not work, Doctor Sapphire. One of the troubling realities 86 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: of the pandemic this whole time, in terms of the 87 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: conversation about it and the policy discussions, has been the 88 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: number of doctors that Clay and I both had this experience, 89 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: who reach out or have been reaching out now going 90 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: on two years, saying I know that this policy is counterproductive, 91 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: or I know that what Fauci has said about this 92 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: is untrue, but I don't want to lose my medical 93 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: license or right. I don't want to have my peers 94 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: or even my hospital. Let's say, if you have admitting 95 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: privileges turn against me publicly, do you feel like that 96 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: is changing? Because I'm surprised at how few doctors are 97 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: willing to come out now, and obviously you do, but 98 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: how few doctors willing to come out and say a 99 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: lot of the medical establishment was wrong, always an apology 100 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: to the American people and needs to come clean about 101 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: what was right and what wasn't. Well. More than two 102 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: thirds of physicians in the United States are employed by someone, 103 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: and that person that employed them tends to be a 104 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: large entity full of administrators who really countdown to a 105 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: lot of political movements, And unfortunately, we did allow a 106 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: lot of political intervening in healthcare from when they restricted 107 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: the elective surgeries in the beginning, resulted in people dying 108 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: as well as you know stuff that we've seen with 109 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act, which have allowed them to just 110 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: completely destroy, in my opinion, the American healthcare system. What unfortunately, 111 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: what has happened that is physicians all of a sudden 112 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 1: we're told that they weren't allowed to prescribe certain things, 113 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: go way back when to hydroxe chloroquin because that became 114 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: so politicized. But it wasn't so outlandish to think that 115 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: someone may try hydroxychloroquin for this new illness that we 116 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: had no means of treating. We had pre existing data 117 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: that hydroxe chloroquin did have some anti viral effect and 118 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: actually it had been studied in the original Stars virus. 119 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: So for people to say we have no way to 120 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: treat this virus, maybe we just try them with a 121 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: long standing, well known hydroxychloroquine. Whether it works or not, 122 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: we don't know yet, but there's always a risk versus benefit. 123 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: But because President Trump touted it. All of a sudden, 124 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: physicians were told you are not allowed to prescribe that medication. Ultimately, 125 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: the data showed that that medication really didn't work as 126 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: well as many of these other treatments that we have 127 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: now for COVID nineteen. But at the beginning, we could 128 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: have at least tried. And now, I mean, we've dealt 129 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: with that with the ibermectin and also we're dealing with it. 130 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Look at New York and New Jersey where the governors 131 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: of the states have said healthcare workers have to be boosted. 132 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: Forget just the vaccine mandates, they have booster mandates for 133 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: healthcare workers. And if there's a medical exemption where the 134 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: healthcare worker doesn't get the booster, they have to be 135 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: tested weekly. Well, I can tell you what's happening right 136 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: now on these healthcare institutions. You have non boosted employees 137 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: who are having to cover shifts for boosted employees who 138 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: have COVID. So as soon as these vaccines and boosters 139 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: stopped preventing infection and their main role was to decrease 140 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: severe illness and prevent people from being hospitalized, these mandates 141 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: should have gone out the window. But Unfortunately, they couldn't 142 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: let it go, and they've continued to push them. We 143 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: have seen healthcare workers as well as first responders lose 144 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: their job over anti science mandates, Doctor Sapphire. One of 145 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: the moments when you mentioned early on, maybe in March 146 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: and April, people are listening to the quote unquote experts, 147 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: for a lot of people listening to us right now. 148 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: That ended when all of these same experts said, yes, 149 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: we need to have lockdowns, Yes we need to have 150 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: people social distancing, and then they simultaneously endorsed all of 151 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: the BLM protests. After being furious at people for protesting lockdowns, 152 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: they then came out and said, well, yeah, COVID's going on, 153 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: but we don't have any issue with hundreds of thousands 154 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: of people marching close together all throughout the streets of America. 155 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: After they had locked down so many people. That was 156 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I think for many people the beginning of this being 157 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: super political in nature. Will we ever trust in this 158 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: country people listening and the nation as a whole the 159 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: quote unquote public health experts. Again, I think, unfortunately, we 160 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: are going to have a very road to get back 161 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: just a monica of the public health trust. And I 162 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: blame that solely, to be honest, on the CDC and 163 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: a lot of the advisors to the President because they 164 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: had one role. They really had one job in the 165 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Their job wasn't to create policy 166 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: or be spokespersons for the United States or any of that. 167 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: What their job was to do was to collect data 168 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: and put forth good trials to determine what we can 169 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: do as a nation and as individuals to lessen our 170 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: individual and collective risks of COVID nineteen. But they didn't 171 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: do that. Unfortunately, none of the decisions that have been 172 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: made are have been data driven at all. You're talking 173 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: about the Black Lives Matters protests, Well, what about the 174 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: fact that people they started shutting everything down, and they 175 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: started locking playgrounds so children couldn't even go play outside. 176 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: And yet they had to quickly start opening bars and 177 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: restaurants because well that was going to be allowed, but 178 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: children still weren't allowed to go on playgrounds, and churches 179 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: weren't allowed to go because you couldn't sing. I mean, unfortunately, 180 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: there was far too much hypocrisy that went on. None 181 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: of it was data driven, and here we are over 182 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: two years into it, and the CDC still has zero 183 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: studies to even reference for the whole airplane mask mandate 184 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: debacle that we're dealing with. And that's because they didn't 185 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: run any Imagine if they did, they could have proven 186 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: or disproven that the mandates work or didn't work, and 187 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: a judge wouldn't need to be striking this down. We 188 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't have to be going and appealing. It would have 189 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: fallen to the whole scientific consensus. But they didn't do that. 190 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: They didn't do that. They had one job and they failed. 191 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: And if I were to fail one hundred percent in 192 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: my job, I would be fired. Why they're not fired, 193 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: I don't know. Speaking to doctor Nicole Sapphire, y all 194 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: should go check out her books. She's got two of 195 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: them out there, Make America Healthy Again and Panic Attack 196 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Playing Politics with Science in the Fight against COVID nineteen, 197 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: Doctor Sapphire, one more for you here. Where do you 198 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: think we're going to be as a country when it 199 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: comes to COVID policy? I mean, I think we're going 200 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: to have probably COVID cases in the fall, right. I 201 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: don't think anyone believes it's gone away entirely. But going 202 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: into the election, what do you think the position of 203 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: the more extreme mitigation masking lockdown voices in the medical 204 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: and let's be honest, the democratic community, what are they 205 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: going to be saying? Then it's your guess is as 206 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: good as mine. Sometimes I can't understand what's even coming 207 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: out of the President and Vice President's mouth as is 208 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: right now. But what I can tell you when it 209 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: comes to the near future with COVID nineteen, these blanket 210 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: harsh restrictions as it currently stands, with the current variants 211 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: and the wide availability of testing and boosters and treatments, 212 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: it does not seem that any of these universal restrictions 213 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: have any place in our future public health policies. I 214 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: think that it needs to come down to individual risk assessments, 215 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: and people who are considered higher risk should talk to 216 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: their positions. Get boosters. We're good quality, high quality mass 217 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: when they're in congregated indoor settings. But for the rest 218 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: of the population, especially those with hybrid immunity, where they've 219 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: been vaccinated or boosted and have already recovered from COVID nineteen, 220 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: there's ample data that demonstrates that that's very strong protection. 221 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: And if you want to get stronger protection, get a booster. 222 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: It's all risk benefit. We cannot live our lives without risk. 223 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: If we spend every day avoiding risk, we are risking 224 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: not living our lives. Life is not about getting to 225 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: zero risk. That's why we are able to get into 226 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: cars every day. That's why we eat fatty food sometimes, 227 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: or I have an oreo at night. Everything comes with risk. 228 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: But that is what life is all about. And when 229 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: it comes to COVID nineteen, it is not about the 230 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: entire population. It is about determining what your individual risk is. 231 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: Doctor Nicole Sapphire, everybody, Doc, thanks for being with us. 232 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: Hope you'll come back, Thanks for having me.

We talked to you last hour about 265 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis and the state of Florida passing two 266 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: big bills, one that would go with four additional Republican 267 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: congressional districts, the other one which would hold Disney accountable 268 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: basically when it comes to zoning related issues that right 269 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: now they don't have to get approval for on tens 270 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: of thousands of acres of Florida land in Orlando. And Buck, 271 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: this probably isn't going to surprise you, but you asked 272 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the question, why don't more governors take actions like Ron 273 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: DeSantis is taking? And I think that's a question Republican 274 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: governors that is in redder states. I think that's a 275 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: question that a lot of people have. And I'll give 276 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: you an answer that's already started. I'll give you one 277 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: guess as to what people are saying about Ron DeSantis' 278 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: new congressional map. What is he being called? Oh gosh, 279 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Democrats have such a wide lexicon for 280 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: the slandering of conservatives. I'm gonna go out on a 281 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: limb and say it's racist, ding ding ning ning. No, 282 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: look at that the attack dogs are out. He's already 283 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: been called a homophobe, anti transgender because he doesn't want 284 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: kindergarten for second third graders in being taught about gender 285 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: related issues as it pertains to sex. By the way, 286 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: we need to play the cut for maybe when we 287 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: come back we can play. Actually maybe we have time 288 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: for right here, we'll play for you. But in general, buck, 289 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: this whole situation here is emblematic of I think what 290 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: people fear. They're afraid Republican governors are afraid of being 291 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: called transphobic, they're afraid of being called racist. And the 292 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: reality is what Rod de Santis is doing is widely supported, 293 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: as we said earlier on for instance, the parent rights 294 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: bill Democrats in Florida supported. So he's willing to power 295 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: through the criticism. I mean, it feels to me like 296 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: if Trump had a superpower, right, if you were talking 297 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: about Trump as a superhero, if you had a superpower, 298 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: it was that he wasn't afraid the media could and 299 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: did say anything about it. Yeah, I mean, it's almost 300 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: it's almost shocking when you go back and think they openlies. 301 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, biggest media outlets on 302 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: the left in the country called him a racist, a 303 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: white nationalist, a traitor, a rapist, a criminal. I mean 304 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: they yes, they call them all of those things. And 305 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump just laughed at them and slap them around 306 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: verbally all the time. That was really his superpower because 307 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: Republicans usually wilt under this, right Republicans and they're usually 308 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: got Romney. Yeah, I was literally gonna say, they pull 309 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: a Mitt Romney, and it's totally what they do. They go, oh, 310 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'm here to say that black lives matter. 311 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: You know, Mit Romney of that protest um. Rond de 312 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: Santra saw that. He and he's like, yeah, that's right. 313 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: I know maybe Ron was like that beforehand, but I'm 314 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: just saying he is also now adopting that superpower, and 315 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: it is a very formidable thing. Stop being scared of 316 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: the people who hate you anyway hating you, Yes, Buck, 317 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: there's a good analogy here. Sometimes people, one of the 318 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: best compliments you can give a football player is say 319 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: they play downhill. It means you go full speed through 320 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: all of the slings and arrows of the sport. You 321 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: are going to take the blows, but you're gonna come 322 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: hard every single time. Rhonda Santis and Donald Trump. I 323 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: think both play politics downhill. They bring the lumber with 324 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: them when they are involved. Speaking of bringing the lumber, 325 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: a lot of you might need some lumber right now 326 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: because you are maybe starting to fade a little bit 327 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: as the day progresses.

Thanks for 342 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: hanging out with us here and you know this showdown 343 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: in Florida between Rhonda Santists and the activist woke left, 344 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: in this case through the prism of Disney, which is 345 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: pretty remarkable when you think about it. It's escalating, folks, 346 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: And this is now a major national story because here's 347 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: what we saw in the most recent election, right the 348 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: off year election that occurred in Virginia. Parents mobilizing and 349 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: first of all seeing what was being taught to their kids, 350 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: seeing what the school boards and what the school administrators 351 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: and unions really favor, which is just the interests of 352 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: adults over over the children, and also wokeness and indoctrination. 353 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: That created a surge that delivered a huge win to 354 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: Governor Glen Yngkin and almost delivered a governor's ship, the 355 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: governor's mansion the state of New Jersey to a Republican 356 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: which is which would have been completely mind blowing in politics, 357 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: given the numbers, the registration advantage Democrats have there, but 358 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: parents who are mobilized around the idea of what their 359 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: children are learning, what the school system is doing to 360 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: their kids. It's a big issue. Democrats thought that they 361 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: would regain the moral high ground by picking this fight 362 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: over the I don't even like to you know, I 363 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: don't like to say the don't Say Gay bill, because 364 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: that's propaganda. It's called the Parental Rights in Education Law. 365 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: It was signed at his law now, but they got 366 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: to rename and the whole media you saw this working 367 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: in real time, they got to rename it. And what 368 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: happened was a remarkable reversal because of exactly what Clain 369 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: and I were just talking about with you, which is 370 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: that Ronda Santists doesn't get punched in the face and 371 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: run away and say I'm sorry, Libs, please don't be 372 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: mean to me. You take a swing at Ron. He's 373 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: gonna take us wing back politically speaking. And he fought 374 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: back on this by telling people read the bill. Remember 375 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: those press commerces he would have. When they would say, 376 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: why do you have a bill that says don't say gay? 377 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: He'd say, is that in the bill? Read the bill? 378 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: What is in the text? What does the polling say 379 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: about the bill? Now? Of course, now it's a law. 380 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: And the more we find out about the Democrat position 381 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: on this, the activist left position on this, the more 382 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: trouble I think it's causing for them politically. And they 383 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: know that the time is. You know that the time 384 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: is flying here. We're gonna be at that midterm election soon, 385 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: and angry parents are not good for the Democrat Party 386 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: right now. Jen Saki was on the I guess is 387 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: this going to be like an NFT or some kind 388 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: of a collector's item all the interviews that have been 389 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: on CNN Plus, because you know, limited edition. Let's be honest, 390 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: they're very much limit if you're just getting in your car, 391 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: CNN Plus has been canceled. It's a glorious day for 392 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: anybody who believes in truth. But that is the joke there, 393 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: because I think some people are like, what already yet? 394 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: Twenty one days at last it turned out to be 395 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: almost like, you know, a band that came together for 396 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: a few last live performances that also happened to be 397 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: there only performances, yes, but that's what Plus was. Here 398 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: is Jensaki when she's and I want you to listen closely. 399 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna play this whole sound. But if you listen 400 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: closely to the White House Press secretary who just a 401 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: couple days ago was literally sobbing, I mean not exaggering, 402 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: sobbing in an interview about how mean the Parental Rights 403 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: and Education Bill is they say they don't want to 404 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: teach your kids this stuff. Listen to what the White 405 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: House Press Secretary claims. The laws not about teaching sex education. 406 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 1: It's about teaching about gender identity. So what do you 407 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: do if a kid in one of these elementary schools says, 408 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: what about Sally? Sally has two moms or I'm not 409 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: sure if I'm a girl or a boy. I mean, 410 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: these are kids who are experiencing these moments in their lives. 411 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: I also think that these are not There is not 412 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: a big record of their being either sex education or 413 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: extensive gender identity education in these schools, and this is 414 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: creating a problem or a political cudgel about an issue 415 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,239 Speaker 1: that I don't think exists. Well, first of all, she 416 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: just said that the issue exists. Okay, so you can't say. 417 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: What do you say to a boy or girl who 418 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: asks whether they are a boy or girl. I have 419 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: an answer for you, as someone who has had three 420 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: kids through kindergarten and currently has a first grader. You 421 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: tell them boys have penises, girls have vaginas. Go to 422 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: the bathroom of your gender. You are one or the other. 423 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: This is not a complicated question. Anybody who has ever 424 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: had a five year old has had to say, Hey, 425 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: boys go to the boys bathroom, girls go to the 426 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: girls bathroom. We don't need to confuse the gender of 427 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: a freaking kindergartener. Okay, so the fact that she says 428 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: this isn't an issue. Like within thirty seconds of saying, 429 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: what do you say when this occurs? The answer is 430 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: you are not in the business of telling someone that 431 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: they are a different gender than what their biology purports 432 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: to show when they are kindergartener's first grader, second graders, 433 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: and third graders, and the idea buck I would be 434 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: furious if my first grader came home and said, hey, 435 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: today at school, one of the teachers said that because 436 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: I had a pink shirt on today that I must 437 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: be a girl, and they sent me to the girls bathroom. 438 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: I mean, this is crazy talk. We know what boys 439 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: and girls are like that there was that great meme 440 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: of Amy Coney Barrett. You know, when we had just 441 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: had the Katangi Brown Jackson hearings. She couldn't answer what 442 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: a woman was, and there was that Amy Coney Barrett 443 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 1: memorably had like a note card in front of her 444 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: and there was a meme where it just said boys 445 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: have penises, girls have vaginas. I don't understand how this 446 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: has become confusing or complicated for the Democrat Party. That's 447 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: one of the more memorable statements of fact from the 448 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: Garden Cop. For those who don't remember, Yes, which is 449 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: a you know, a movie. Evidently it's a hateful Historically, 450 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: it's not, you know, I remember, we all remember kind 451 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: of Garden Cop. Yes, and uh, I do want to 452 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: tie this in though, clay to why the libs of 453 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: TikTok hit piece also happen now? Because you notice Jensaki, 454 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: and that's exactly the right analysis of this. Jen Psaki 455 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: says this isn't a problem after saying it is a 456 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: problem because they can't get the story straight. You saw 457 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: this with CRT. You see this with the left a lot. 458 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: You saw it with inflation. But in the CRTs are 459 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: closer more analogous situation where they say that's not CRT. 460 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: No one's teaching CRT in school. Oh, you can't know 461 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: what CRT is unless you have a PhD too. Damn it, 462 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: they're not letting us teach CRT anymore. Right, They go 463 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: through these processes of trying to hide what's happening and 464 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: lie in missdirect exact same thing here. Why does this 465 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: time to libs of TikTok Because and to be some 466 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: of her stands, Libs of TikTok ends up being on 467 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson Show and ends up being on Facebook and 468 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: other platforms too. So it really was just a feeder 469 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: for but it was showing people teachers who were saying 470 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: how important it is to them to teach five year 471 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: olds crazy stuff. So Jen Saki's life is complicated to 472 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 1: lie to you, the concerned parents of America, about what 473 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: your kids are being taught, because she's out there saying 474 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: this is just about like what if somebody has you know, 475 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: gay parents. No, that's actually not what this is about. 476 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: It's about teachers who want to have pronoun choice day 477 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: and tell a little boy who's five who says, I 478 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: feel like a girl today. Oh, let's let's chase this 479 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: down and not tell your parents and maybe in a 480 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: few years we'll even have a transition for you. That's 481 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: what this is actually about. And that's why they were 482 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: trying to shut down Libs of TikTok because some libs 483 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: were saying it out loud. No, there's no doubt. And 484 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: this is when you know that you are over the target, 485 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: when you start taking flak. And what's amazing to me, 486 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: and we talked about this earlier in the week, Buck, 487 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: I really feel like the Democrats. I saw somebody tweet 488 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: this are trying to tank and I said, what could 489 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: they possibly be thinking on all of this? And someone 490 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: sent me an email and I thought it was an 491 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: interesting email regarding the masking and the decisions that are 492 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: being made, and they said the only thing I can 493 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: think lay because I agree with you and Buck. This 494 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: was the email was saying, Hey, it seems like they're 495 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: intentionally picking the worst argument of every single issue. Right. 496 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: If you had to sum up the Biden White House, Buck, 497 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: you and I, even if we were being hired to 498 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: try to spend for them, there's almost nothing we could 499 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: spend in their favor. And the argument was, I feel like, 500 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: and this is his argument, but I'm curious whether it 501 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: might actually be true. They are trying to set up 502 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: to be able to have all mail in ballots again 503 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: in November by saying COVID still hasn't gone away, and 504 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: that is their safety net, that's the only thing. And 505 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here trying to think, why would they be 506 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: arguing in favor of the DJ even appealing this mask situation. 507 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: And that's the only thing I can think, Buck, because 508 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: otherwise everything they're doing, the Bidas touch is destroying everything 509 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: that he touches. I gotta say, I hope, I really 510 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: hope that every Democrat running for office in Michigan, Wisconsin, Yep, 511 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia. I hope that they really 512 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: really dig in. I mean, they really get get as 513 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: deep as they can on the issue of we absolutely 514 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: it is a core foundational right in society to have 515 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: publicly funded bureaucrats telling your five year old that it's 516 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: time for gender transition talk. I want them all to 517 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: run on this. Their party believes it, they should have 518 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: to defend it. I want them to explain why the 519 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: White House is putting out we need preadolescence to be 520 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: having gender transition surgery as well as hormones, and that 521 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: that is standard of care. And if you don't believe that, 522 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: you're a bigot, let's have them run on this. Go 523 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: for it, guys. Gofe Man, it's child abuse. It is, 524 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: without a shadow of a doubt in both of our opinions, 525 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: and I think almost the vast majority of the American 526 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: public as well. It's child abuse to be trying to 527 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: change someone's gender when they are under eighteen years old. 528 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: It's shameful, it's indefensible. Look. Friends, there's a riding instructor 529 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: in this audience by the name of Nancy. She lives 530 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: in Texas. She teaches riding lessons and she's taking care 531 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: of five horses. Now, if you're riding horses all day, 532 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: lugging hay and saddles, you're going to be pretty sore 533 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: by dinner time. Right. That's everyday pain. And that's why 534 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: Nancy decided to try a Relief Factor. Now she can 535 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: keep on going, getting more yardwork, housework, and cooking done. 536 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: She has more stamina and can do more than she 537 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: used to do because she doesn't live with pain. For Nancy, 538 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: she's noticed a huge difference after a couple of months 539 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: on relief Factor, and she continues to improve. With four 540 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: key ingredients, relief Factor is a one hundred percent drug 541 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: free product that addresses pain and the hands, knees, hips, neck, 542 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: and shoulder where inflammation can reak havoc created by doctors 543 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: and perfected over fifteen years of scientific research.

Welcome back, Clay Travis and Buck 554 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I wanted to mention this to you. We 555 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: were just playing that Jensake clip and by the way, 556 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: encourage all of you to go download the podcast and 557 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: make sure that you subscribe, because I know everybody's busy. 558 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: And if you want to have a smile on your face, 559 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: listen to the first hour of the show where we 560 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: tap danced on the grave of CNN Plus which has 561 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: been shut down. Lots of great stuff as always throughout 562 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: the course of all three hours, but if you really 563 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: want to have a smile on your face. I think 564 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: you'll love that. In the event you did not hear it, 565 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 1: you can search out my name, Clay Travis. You can 566 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: search out Buck Sexton hour one. It's all broken down 567 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: by hours. We know how busy you guys are. Buck. 568 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: My wife listens to the show on two X speed, 569 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: so like driving around, she downloads the podcast. She's busy. 570 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: We got three kids, and she says, I can hear 571 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: everything the entire show. But I listened to it on 572 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: two act. We sound like well, she said. She said. 573 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: When she listens to it live, she gets frustrated because 574 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: neither of us will speak fast enough because she's used 575 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: to hearing us on two X time. Yes, that's a thing. 576 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: If you're on the podcast, you can zoom through faster. 577 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: But what I was thinking, and maybe this comes from 578 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: actually having to be in the marketplace of ideas, Buck, 579 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm not only thinking, and I know this is the 580 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: case for you as well. When we make arguments of 581 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: what we believe in, I'm not only making the argument 582 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: of what I believe in. I'm consciously, while I'm making 583 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: that argument, thinking about how my argument could be attacked 584 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: by someone who disagrees with it. That's the only way, 585 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: I think you can make really strong arguments, and I 586 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: think conservatives have to do that more because we're so 587 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: used to getting attacked. Right, well, I know I was 588 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: gonna say it, and you're totally right. And it's important 589 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: that we always make sure that we give the best 590 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: version of the other side's arguments, so that I never 591 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: want anyoneho listens to this show to feel like they're 592 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: engaged in a debate or they're just even thinking about 593 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: an issue and don't have the real version of what. Yeah, 594 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: we make fun of Biden all this stuff, but when 595 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: there are issues where there's a complexity or there's even 596 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: a compelling case the other side makes, even if we 597 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: think they're wrong, we'll tell everybody that I want. I 598 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: want everyone to be equipped with the best version of 599 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: the other side's argument so that they know, because then 600 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: you really know how rights you are too right, It's 601 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: it's easy. What the left does all the time is 602 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: misrepresent and there's actual data on this. There's sociological research 603 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: that's been done. I know what the Libs think, we 604 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: know what libs think. They actually don't know what we 605 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: and this audience thinks, which is fascinating. No, it's that 606 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent right. And I always think about 607 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: any kind of debate as a boxing match, and if 608 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: you're not expecting for at some point somebody to bring 609 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: and by the way, Mike Tyson was throwing punches recently. 610 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: But if you're not expecting that Mike Tyson uppercut to 611 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: come at some point for you, you leave yourself wide open. 612 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: And I think buck that the left wing is so 613 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: weak right now because their arguments are almost universally embraced 614 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: by big corporations and big media, that they don't actually 615 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: know how to take a punch, and they don't even 616 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: see the punch is coming. And I was thinking that 617 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,959 Speaker 1: in the context of the way that Jensaki responded, it's 618 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: so bad. She is the head basically communicator in public 619 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: for the Biden administration, and she's awful at her job 620 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: because I think the media is so complicit in giving 621 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: her layups that she's not even aware of how poorly 622 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: she's speaking when she says this is not an issue. 623 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: Immediately after she says, well, what do you say when 624 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: someone asks this question in a classroom? Yeah, you just 625 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: prove that it's an issue. Right, If you've got teachers 626 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: telling a little boy, hey you're not a boy, or 627 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: telling a little girl, hey you're not a girl. That 628 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: is the very essence of the issue. And that's what's 629 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: so amazing is that she can swing and miss that bad. 630 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: She doesn't see the punch's company. Well, this is why 631 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: they have to be so in control of the actual 632 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: communications systems. This is why the notion of Twitter. I 633 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: think about what we're seeing play out right now. The 634 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: richest man on the planet is being blocked from paying 635 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 1: a huge premium for a social media site that has 636 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: had a flat stock basically for the last ten years. 637 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean it really has not been. Facebook has been 638 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: a you know, a cash gusher for a long time. 639 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: Twitter has not. You're the richest guy on the planet 640 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: is being blocked from buying a public company because it 641 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: is a threat to the Democrats control over conversation nationally 642 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: and globally. In fact, because their arguments are bad. This 643 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: is really when they have good arguments, I promise you 644 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: we will at least make them at some level. We 645 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: will arm you of them because I always we always 646 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: want our side to go into intellectual combat, ready to 647 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: go and trained. They have to just be able to 648 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: silence people and shut them down, Claire Off, they lose, 649 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: Which is why I think, as we get ready for 650 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four, we need a brawler, 651 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: because I think that we are going to land some 652 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: knockout punches when the debates actually start if we have 653 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: good brawlers and good fighters, skilled tacticians, because they aren't 654 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: able to advocate for their sides without tripping all over themselves, 655 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: as you see Jensaki do all the time, and as 656 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: we played with Joe Biden. He can't even answer a 657 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: question about Title forty two right now without getting it 658 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: confused with what's going on with the mask mandate, which, 659 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: by the way, he said yesterday basically, hey, make your 660 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: own choice. Now his own Department of Justice is going 661 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: to file an appeal against mask mandates on planes. Makes 662 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: no sense. We're the same ones there, easy this playing 663 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: buck m
