Is our long national nightmare finally over? Fauci gives his last briefing after 50 years before leaving as the highest-paid federal employee in government. C&B agree: Fauci the worst single person in the federal government, by far the most destructive, rarely honest. Clay adds, "Fauci said early on, don't question me, 'I am science.' But what never made sense is that the basic truth of the scientific method is to question everything." HHS report wants to "encourage or mandate" masking to help people suffering from long covid, who feel isolated. Even years later, Fauci still wants you to get a covid test and wear a mask at family Thanksgiving dinner! "When will this ever end, Dr. Fauci?" Clay asks. Buck calls Fauci a "vile sociopath" and questions all the praise that gets heaped on him from those who just want to look down on others who don't mask.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show on this Tuesday, November twenty second. Clay,
I gotta keep the days and the dates very clear
in my head. My little brother's birthday was Saturday the nineteenth,
My older brother's birthday is on Thanksgiving the twenty fourth.
(00:22):
Carrie's birthday is on Christmas. So a lot of birthdays,
and we got Thanksgiving coming up here in just a
couple of days. Clay and I will have some epic
throwdowns before you sit down to feast on your turkey
about the best regional side dishes. Always always a fun one.
People get as excited about a Clay as they do
their favorite sports team, no doubt. And I know everybody's
(00:43):
out on the road. This is the time when everybody
starts to travel. There's kids home, chaos is unspooling everywhere,
so make sure you go subscribe to that podcast. You
can get us anywhere, especially with Christmas coming up in
New Year's and a lot of different trips that people
will be taking. Take us with you wherever you get.
There's really no better way to base your turkey and
(01:05):
to prep the stuffing than to be listening to Clay
and Buck in the background. I'm just throwing that out there.
I mean, if you happen to miss any part of
the show, check out our podcast. So we've got a
lot of news stories today we really wanted to do
a broad array to get into. We've got, for example,
more just freak out from the twitterati about Elon's takeover
(01:26):
of this. And it is increasingly fascinating to see that
everything that we have said about the left when it
comes to their disdain and really fear of free speech
is true. They're showing us all that it's true, and
they're really at free speech def conto right now. They're
losing their minds over this. We'll discuss that. I also
(01:48):
want to take a moment to give credit to a
couple of heroes who subdued that mass shoot or that
mass murderer at the club over the weekend. Police are
crediting Fierro, who was a veteran of the United States Army,
with being one of two individuals. I'll get the other
name as well. Got some interesting stuff being aired on
(02:11):
Face the Nation. Clay a pretty now well known NYU
professor saying that Elon's takeover Twitter and the poll that
he put out on Trump was like Russian disinformation. They're
back to Russian disinformation. More on Sam Bankman freed of
FTX could have been orchestrating one of the biggest frauds
and biggest Ponzi schemes since made off. We'll see how
(02:35):
that shakes out. And Foucci's last speech is gonna We're
gonna have to do a special special segment for Faucci's
last speech in his role, which is going on as
we speak. I believe right he's happening right now. I
think he's speaking right now in the White House to
close out his tenure as a highest paid federal employee.
(02:57):
I just want to tell everybody out there that Lay
and Buck are two of the meanest, nastiest anti science voices.
I could just see little fouch runner around telling everybody
what an honor it is to have been running NAIAD,
a subdivision of NIH for approximately two hundred and seventy
(03:20):
five years, approaching a millennia millennium as the longest serving
federal government employee ever. So we'll have to get some
Fouchi clips. I didn't realize it was right when he's
saying I already saw some highlights, and by highlights I
mean low lights. They've said that if everybody gets the
COVID booster, that there will be no COVID deaths in
(03:42):
America like that. That is what they have said in
this last press conference. I'm furious, but we have FCC
rules about how I could express that fury on radio,
and we've got families listing, so kind of keep it,
keep it clean, no salty language. But Fauci is honestly
the absolute worst, and what he did to this country
(04:03):
is unforgivable and he should honestly spend the rest of
his days begging forgiveness the equivalent in like the Middle
Ages of going to a monastery and praying forever. Fauci
should be begging forgiveness. Instead, he is going to add
to his already considerable net worth. They're going to be
book deals, speaking tours, all because he did his part
for the left. He delivered for them politically, even though
(04:24):
he failed Clay entirely on the issue of COVID, wrong
about everything, never showed any courage, never showed any self reflection.
He delivered for the Democrat authoritarian lunatics, the double masking
six shot, getting why aren't you social? Distancing six feet
from people outdoors maniacs. He gave them what they wanted
(04:48):
politically and culturally, so they think he's a huge win.
He put Biden into White House. I think you can
argue that if you had a sane person in doctor
Fauci's seat who was not obsessed with COVID and not
only obsessed with COVID and the authoritarianism that it unleashed,
but also buck constantly attacking anybody who questioned his authority.
(05:14):
Remember the I am science. I mean, that is a
pretty crazy statement for anyone to have made. So when
you're attacking that's what I'm paraphrasing here, Fauci said, I
am science. So when you're attacking me, you're attacking science.
When the very foundation, as we've said on this show
for a long time, of the scientific method, is to
question everything. That is the basic basis of all science
(05:35):
knowledge is to question everything. It wasn't even just an
assault on free speech and the most basic individual liberties
during COVID, but Fauci undermined in grave ways the very
discipline that he pretends to embody that he literally said
he embodies I am science. And also beyond that, I
(05:57):
think has done tremendous damage to look I even share this.
You know, I'm down in Florida right now. I think
I'm gonna spending a lot of time here over the winter.
I'm gonna be heading back to New York tomorrow. But
I view Fauci as somebody who people latched onto for
emotional reasons, and people latched onto him because they needed
(06:21):
some kind of occult hero in the beginning, and then
eventually what you saw as this guy undermine public trust
in science in general, or rather in the profession and
in scientists. Because now every time I go in, like
if I go to I'll be in New York tomorrow.
Let's just say I had to go into a city
MD clinic, you know, one of those urgent they'd say,
excuse me, sir, you need to put a mask on.
(06:44):
And every time they do that, every time they do that,
they may as well like throw a pinch of salt
at me and tell me that they're, you know, getting
getting rid of any evil spirits that are following me
in it's lunacy. These people have been wrong, and the
fact that they've so corrupted the mentality the medical profession. Clay,
you sent this to me yesterday, I was already over
(07:05):
the weekend flipping out about this. Los Angeles is strongly
advising masks. I mean, this to me is about as
intelligent as if you had the you know, public health
experts telling you, hey, you know, if you're in a
bad car accident and you're bleeding heavily, rub some dirt
on it. You know, rub some dirt on it. That'll
help you. I had to take my kids. They're fine,
(07:27):
they're healthy, but for a wellness appointment at the children's
hospital Vanderbilt University out by my house. I couldn't believe it.
You still have to wear a mask to go to
a well children's meeting and in a hospital setting, doctor's
office setting. Buck, I don't know that this mask and
(07:51):
I have to catch myself too, so I don't curse
this mask. Insanity is ever going to leave, and in fact,
I think it's going to get ratcheted up even more
as we move now into the full on winter season.
You mentioned La and I sent that to you, where
the city of Los Angeles is basically going to start
encouraging people again. There's a story app on Fox News
(08:15):
that I read just before we set down here that
said Health and Human Services is pushing to try to
bring back masks. And I mean, this is our Department
of Health and Human Services, and you're talking about Fauci,
and I think you're right. Going around on speaking tours,
he's going to be speaking to an entire auditorium full
(08:35):
of people wearing masks, like as a point of pride.
Fauci is going to be up on the stage, He's
going to look out in an auditorium of sheep, and
they're all going to basically be buying and in front
of him wearing those masks. I mean, you know, this
is one of the one of the fundamental value propositions
(08:56):
of being a leftist. Well there, it's really two fold.
By signing onto the ideology of the democrat left, I
refer to as the apparatus, broadly speaking, you are signing
on to false virtue and false intellectual superiority. All you
have to do you go along with Faucci. You go
(09:17):
along with what the system tells you on these things.
And this is true of course on a whole range
of issues. As you all know, but COVID was a
particularly poignant example because it was demonstrably wrong. Right, we
could sit here and argue all day. They'll talk about
gun control and I'll show and we'll show all the
facts and their ideas don't work, or tax policy or
tax policy. There's arguments they say X will happen and
(09:39):
Z happens, and they just keep going with it. But
it's because the fundamental proposition is you sign on for
being a fauci being a leftist in good stead, and
you're more caring and smarter than other people, just based
on that. The same is the same idea with climate change,
by the way, right, this is people I care about
climate change, No, you don't, but you feel good about
(10:01):
yourself when you pretend. Right. So as a result of that,
it becomes really difficult, if not impossible, for people to
realize that they actually were swindled there. Because hubris is intentional.
They don't want you to think about these things. They
want you to just assume I signed on Clay, I'm
a Fauciite, so I believe in I believe in science
(10:24):
is the real, overall, overarching summary of this, And so
they don't ever want to give it up, because what
does it say about all the people that did this
for two years are still doing it in a third year.
I mean, buck, This is why I wish I could
spring ahead and read the history books one hundred years
from now. You know how we read all about the influenza,
(10:48):
the nineteen nineteen flu and everything's great books about it
because it is kind of a window into what they
went through and how it would apply potentially with COVID.
Here one hundred years from now, all these people walking
around in masks who feel like they are superior and
the doctor Fauci's of the world, I think they're going
(11:09):
to be the laughing stock of historians one hundred years
from now who can write, hopefully in a free way
and an honest way, without the passions of the political
moment dictating what direction they need to follow the evidence.
Because the data, as you and I have been saying
since basically May at the latest of twenty twenty, has
(11:29):
been clear that most of everything that our government did,
and unfortunately the trillions of dollars that we spent based
on this policy has been a complete object failure. You know,
there have been studies stretching back for centuries on the
basic concept of mob mentality. There's the Frenchman who really
did perhaps the most famous work on this. I mean,
(11:50):
there's Mackie's Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, right,
which really goes but that's about financial speculative bubbles for
the most part, Tulipmania in Holland, the Netherlands. But there's
Gustav Lebon to do the French or Leban people will
say Gustav Lebon, and he talks about the mob. He
(12:11):
actually has a book, just the Mob, where he gets
into the mindset of crowds where people intentionally play upon
their emotions to animate and mobilize them. And you read
about it and it's about slogans, and it's about chanting,
and it's about being in a group and how social
media today. And he was writing this in the gosh,
late eighteenth century, I think I'll have to check. Might
(12:33):
have been middle of might have been nineteen, might have
been nineteenth century, someone fact check me on that one.
But he was writing about it at a time obviously
pre internet. Right now we have the amplification and the
constant connectivity of those same tools of mob mentality and mobilization.
We think, oh, we're in this really sophisticated era in
(12:53):
the twenty first century. People acted like totally lunatic and
vicious clowns during COVID, and Fauci was the ringleader. Faucci
was at the front of the whole parade of stupidity.
And unfortunately, I gotta say, Clay, he's getting away with it.
I mean, basically, that's gonna give away with it in
(13:13):
his life. I hope that there is going to be
a reckoning post his life when historians actually start to
look at all the record, And frankly, I hope that
the House of Representatives can help to hold him accountable,
to at least put him in front of the under oath,
in front of them, to have to answer questions about
where COVID came from and whether we were culpable in
helping to allow its creation. And I have an important
(13:36):
health announcement, which is that doctor Fauci would like all
of the gentlemen in the audience to have low testosterone
and have no energy, drive a focus. That way, you're
going triple mask, maybe four masks. Four is amazing. The
one on the outside you can put like a you know,
Kamala Biden mask on top of the so low testosterone
(14:01):
makes you more amenable to being ordered around, or you
can actually have dry focus, higher energy, and greater ability
to get through your day, which obviously the apparatus and
the fauciites don't want. If you want some of that,

(15:30):
weekday to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome back
in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We're gonna have a
greatest hits coming for you as doctor Fauci, who I
think it's fair to say Buck and I just tweeted this,
(15:50):
I've never hated anyone in American political life more than
doctor Fauci. And I understand some of you out there
have the same advice that my grandma used to give.
You shouldn't hate anybody. You should ever say you No.
I hate Fauci. I really legitimately hate him. I'm sorry, Grandma.
I just no one in American public political life I
have ever hated anywhere near He is the emotion dishonest,
(16:14):
little quizzling I have ever seen in any rule. He
makes Adam Schiff look like a paragon or virtue. He
makes Nancy Pelosi look like a truth teller. And at
least those people are elected like you can. He was
never elected to any position of power, yet he has
ruled like a dictator for the past two and a
half years. So doctor Jah who is also in the
(16:37):
White House, they're having a big COVID press conference to
say goodbye to doctor Fauci and doctor Jaw is saying
things that are still proven to be one hundred percent untrue,
including if you get your COVID booster, You're not gonna
die of COVID. It's really with COVID. But that's a lie.
But here he is saying it from the White House,
Biden White House. Here's what we know. If folks get
(17:00):
their updated vaccines and they get treated, they have a
breakthrough infection, we can prevent essentially every COVID death in America.
That is a remarkable fact, two and a half years
after we found this virus first in our country. But
it's gonna take all of us to make that happen.
So please don't wait. Get your COVID shot, get your
(17:20):
flu shot. That's why God gave you two arms, one
in each arm. If you want it, get your COVID shot,
get your flu. Wait, so the COVID shot is basically
the flu shot, which is what a lot of us
said eighteen months ago. Yeah, okay, I'm glad we've finally
gotten to that point, Clay. We're everything that people were saying,
like you and me in the very beginning. They've just admitted,
but they won't admit that they're admitting it. They say
(17:40):
it out loud. The stuff that Fauci is saying right now,
everybody would drive a sane person deeply insane if they
had to sit there. You know, if we had like
prisoners that we were trying to get information from, Clay
just to Fauci's greatest hits would break them. And we're
gonna play some of that audio for you, and it's
going to be in areating, but you need to hear
(18:01):
what's still being said. But know that that is a
lie from doctor job. Lots of people who are getting
all their COVID shots still die with COVID. Yep. Gotta
have a cell phone. It is a must. I mean
I don't leave home without it now, that is Clay.
But your cell phone is only as good as your
service provider. If you haven't switched to pure Talk yet.
Now's the time. You'll not only say fifty or sixty
(18:21):
dollars a month or more, but the service is just
as good as Verizon, T Mobile or AT and T.
Pure Talk gives you nationwide five G service on the
same network of cell towers, but at a much lower cost.
Enjoy unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data for just
thirty bucks a month. The average sized family saves almost
a thousand dollars a year. Switching is easy too, so
you can keep your phone, keep your phone number, not
(18:42):
to mention more of your money. Pure Talk is also
a company that believes in family values and was started
by a US veteran. I switched to pure Talk many
months ago. Haven't looked back. It's been phenomenal. Join me
in this right now, save money, get great service, and
support a company that supports your values. Pure Talk Pound
two fifty and say Clay and Bucked is a fifty
(19:03):
percent off your first month again from your phone. Right now,
dial pound two five zero and say Clay and Buck Shoe.
Welcome back to clayon Buck. We're gonna tell you about
the fauci low light that he just gave his last
(19:27):
public pronouncements today. They're absolutely terrible, but just a bit
of quick housekeeping. Charles Marie Gustave Lebon was born in
eighteen forty one, so it was mid nineteenth century he
was born, and he actually he lived on nineteen thirty one.
He wrote The Crowd. He wrote a Psychology of Revolution
a lot of earlier, but The Crowd, a study of
(19:49):
the popular mind, is the one that he is most
famous for, where he talks about chants and slogans and
the mob mentality and basically the Democrat Party before really
was the Democrat Party of today. So that's well worth
it for anybody who's looking for some light pre Thanksgiving reading.
Clay just throwing that out there. And we've got Faucci
(20:13):
telling everybody all over the place that they need to
mask up. And I know you shared this on Twitter
a few moments ago. Everybody, he's still telling you to
get a COVID test before Thanksgiving dinner. People that went
along with this guy and defended him and said that
he was a genius and a hero should be ashamed.
(20:33):
I mean they should feel deeply embarrassed, you know. But Clay,
people have different Oh, it's in We've got some of it.
Oh boy, let's play which one do we have? I
want to do We have the first one here, Let's
do the one where he says that he that you
should get a COVID test before Thanksgiving. We're not talking
about this in twenty twenty twenty. I mean, this is crazy.
(20:54):
This has just happened in the White House, Fauci telling
you you may want to get a COVID test before
thanks Giving dinner. First of all, everybody should be vaccinated
and boosted with flu and with COVID, whether or not
you wear a mask or Another thing we shouldn't underestimate
is testing. So when we're gathering at a family gathering
(21:15):
for Thanksgiving, or for Christmas, or for any other holiday
as we get into the winter, it makes sense that
you might want to get a test that day before
you come into a place in which you might be
infected and spreaded or other people who might be there,
in order to protect So this masking is important. But
you can count masking, vaccine, boosting, testing, all of that
(21:39):
is part of the spectrum of protecting yourself. None of
that stuff does anything that's going to stop anybody from
getting COVID. By the way, we all know this. We've
been through this now, Clay, he is a vile sociopath.
I mean this is I also think it undermines people's
faith in government in general, in our federal bureaucracy, specifically
that this could be the highest paid federal employee, be
(22:01):
a celebrated person by the media and he's he's awful.
I mean, this is something he's never apologized or said
he was wrong once. He is wrong about everything and
should apologize for everything, but instead he's riding off into
the sunset to collect big checks for his memoirs. Yeah,
and the question that I would have, First of all,
what percentage of people do you think are testing or
(22:25):
wearing masks to their Thanksgiving gether? But even what what
would be the point? So was he telling people? You know,
if you're a Rachel Maddow watching five five Ukraine flags
and pronouns in the biolib are you gonna be like, well,
you know, unless unless somebody gets to test this year,
they can't come to my Thanksgiving dinner, you know, they
can't eat the big tofurky that I've made for everybody,
(22:47):
Like what is this? And also the question I would have,
I mean, look, I think everything that he said in
that clip we just played is utterly ridiculous. But when
would he say that ends? So who's not going away? Never?
COVID is not going away, so does he? I mean,
that's the question. So for the rest of our lives,
doctor Fauci, you are saying that you believe people should
(23:09):
wear masks and test for COVID before they go to
Thanksgiving dinner or to hang out with people for Christmas.
I mean, I just I wish that you know they've
they've kept him away. Honestly, the only people that I've seen,
the exception of Rand Paul, who get access to Fauci,
are completely worthless and don't ask him any real questions.
I'm just gonna say it. I mean, if somebody, if
Fauci has been willing to sit down with you, certainly
(23:32):
in the last year, maybe the last eighteen months, it's
because you're weak on what's actually happened here. I have
never seen him subjected to an interview. Rand Paul's different.
Obviously that's the Senate, But I mean the media sense,
he has evaded every serious interview with real accountability, and
and that's it's obvious why he's done it. Because play
(23:53):
think about this, So when should you wear a mask? Exactly?
Because it's gonna be flu and COVID see in basically
from now until the middle of March. So you're gonna
wear a cloth. Oh, by the way, cloth masks don't work,
which every data set that you can find shows and
ninety five masks don't really work either. Folks, you know
that wasn't true either. Double masking certainly doesn't work. So
(24:17):
what are we even talking about here? Well, moreover, Buck,
if you're going to Thanksgiving, you're going to eat so
presumably in his mask up between bites to your point, absolutely,
I mean, like what, I don't even understand that argument.
And he's telling people we've got a mask. Quote this
is not from twenty to twenty or twenty twenty one.
Fauci just now in the White House said, if you
(24:39):
go into a room, we're gonna play this for you
and you're the only person with the mask, you should
be feel good about yourself. You look great. Listen to this.
Do you say about the word mask now being a
pejorative in some comino It shouldn't be. I mean, you're
absolutely right. I mean, I know sometimes when you walk
in and you have a mask and nobody has a mask,
you kind of feel guilty. You shouldn't feel guilty. You
(24:59):
look terrific. I mean, we're at a point now if
someone is if someone is going into places where unless
you know, honestly, even if they have a health issue,
does masks don't work. So if someone's wearing a mask
at this point, they either have a level of anxiety
that they're not able to control, or they're just ignorant
of the actual data sets with masking. Those are the
only options at this point. There is no third option.
(25:21):
And I'm seeing people, like I watched football over the weekend, Buck,
there are people going to football games outdoors and wearing masks.
I mean, I just I'm going to Michigan, Ohio State
this weekend. There are going to be some people sitting
in a hundred thousand seat Buckeye Stadium wearing masks. I've
given up. On airlines, there's what like fifteen twenty percent
(25:42):
of people are still wearing masks on airlines. It is
scientifically as valid as a toddler keeping their blankie because
it'll scare the monsters away. It's absurd, and that's and
that's how adults should actually view it now. It's not
at all. We're gonna no, no, because remember anyone who's
out there still masking with overwhelming that I won't say everybody,
but generally speaking, people that are out there still masking.
(26:04):
If they could, they'd make you mask too. We saw that.
So this isn't a live and let live thing. This
is take the stupid mask off your face. It's ridiculous.
That's what I'll try to bring it back. I mean,
their stories up at HHS today that they would try
to bring back masks. I'm telling you a lot of
you listening to us right now, LA's talking about doing it.
You may and your poor kids. You may well before
(26:25):
this winner is out. If COVID players back up, they're
going to be trying to get you to put masks back.
I'm gonna be on our flight back to back to
New York tomorrow. I've been down in Florida. I'm gonna
be taking a flight back New York tomorrow. You know,
I think I'm just gonna take a you know, a distance,
one of those sort of distant selfies like a Bradley
Cooper at the oscars, except they'll be you know, near
the front of the plane. I mean, I don't fly
(26:46):
first class because I'm not fancy, but you know, I
like to try to be near the emergency exit. And
that's always funny to people sometimes seeing me, they're like,
aren't you Buck from a Clay and Buck show. I'm
like yeah, and they look at me like, interesting, you're
next to the bathroom in like row twenty seventeen. I'm like,
that's right, that's right. I f southwest, Buck. There is
no first class, you know. I know you flew southway.
(27:08):
You flew southwest of Patriot Wars. That's how Clay rolls too,
because come on, we're just trying to get where. We're
getting the easiest way to get somewhere. Now. Sometimes I
will hop on a little charter to get in and
out of a college town when it's hard to get into.
But I have to call that play force one? Or
is that not? Do they put a little decal in
aside for you? I'm not. I you know, I Rush
had a big plane, right. I'm hoping that one day
(27:29):
I'll have a plane too. That's my goal. Yeah, he
a a super plane. Um yeah, anyway, I just say
it about the plane. I want to take a photo
because I'm going back to New York tomorrow from Florida,
so this is a particular route. I know this route
very well, going back to be you know, in New
York City and spending Thanksgiving with the fan, and I
think there will be I think it'll be fifteen to
(27:52):
twenty percent masked up tomorrow. That's my guests on the plane.
That's what I think, which is sad for those. I mean,
I flew Nashville to Fort Lauderdale, and I was stunned
at how many people I saw still wearing masks on
the airplanes. Now I wasn't a huge number because I'm
going from a free state to a free state, but
it wasn't zero. I mean, there were still a lot
of people wearing masks on airplanes and at the airport.
(28:13):
I mean, I would put this out there. I mean,
the only you know, if you're a senior citizen with
health risks, the same way that senior citizens are advised
to maybe get a flu shot because okay, maybe there's
some downside, but you know, even a little bit of help,
even if reduces your risk maybe five or ten percent.
So I'll cut senior citizens out of the conversation about
masking a little bit here, even though I don't think
it really helps them, but I get it, Like you know,
(28:35):
you're at that age you want to avoid getting sick,
and maybe you think it helps you a little bit.
Anybody under fifty with a mask on I, like I said,
I just think they have other anxiety disorder or aren't
familiar with the data. I don't know what else to
say at this point, because it's just an impossible case
to make. Their brains are broken and Fauci has made
it worse. And and Ali, our producer, saying, you know,
(28:57):
up in New York City subway still packed with tons
of people wearing masks. And I remember my wife saying this,
and I thought she was crazy. She said, masters are
never going away. And I feel like that's the truth now.
I don't think masks are ever going to leave in
the United States again. Well, because the moment that people
stop wearing them was the moment a lot of people
(29:18):
realize they never should have warned them. Yep. And it's
it's about the ego involved of accepting that you were wrong.
Like you know, I'm I'm still upset that I said
I didn't say stochastic properly yesterday. You can imagine if
I've been wearing an N ninety five mask and super
(29:38):
uncomfortable for two years for no reason. Clay, you know, yeah,
that's a tough one. I think that's why they're never
going away. Sadly, but we should have adults telling people, hey,
it's safe, you don't need to do this. Instead we
got fouch you doing the opposite, saying you look fantastic
wearing your mask. It's a good week to get started,
given the fact that it's Christmas almost Black Friday today,
(30:00):
gift season. Maybe go ahead and start buying some gifts.

Welcome back. In closing out our number one play Travis
buck Sexton Show, We've been playing as some of the
cuts from doctor Fauci's Goodbye press conference at the White House,
(31:27):
and we want to make sure that we play you
this because there is finally starting to be pushback against
the Biden White House and Karine Jean Pierre and the
dishonesty that they spew every single day. And I want
you to listen to this. It's a bit messy, but
let me give you the background. Diana Globova and if
I mispronounced her name, I apologize. She is a daily
(31:48):
caller reporter. She's trying to ask doctor Fauci about what
he did to investigate the origins of COVID and karine.
Jean Pierre steps in and says, this is inappropriate. You
weren't called on listen to this lecture. And then other
reporters also say, well, that's a very valid question. Just
listen to the chaos inside the White House Press corps
(32:10):
as they try to control who can ask questions and
what they can ask. Jeremy, it is not it is
not your turn. It is not your You can your
press brief, and you need from people. She has a
(32:32):
funny question. I hear the question. She's the best. Besides,
I hear your question. But we're not doing this the
way you want it. This is a disrespectful it is
I'm done, Simon, I'm done. I'm Simon, I'm done. I'm
done with you right now. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
You're taking time away from your colleagues, buck, I mean thanks,
(32:56):
you're coming undone. Huh. Yeah. Look, Fauci's actually not the
best person to answer this because he's been a bureaucrat
sitting in meetings telling people to wash their hands during
flu season until COVID for thirty years. I mean the
guy actually, if you look at what they what his
initial policy recommendations were on HIV as well. Nothing about Fauci,
(33:18):
surprising the people who know how wrong he was. And Burkes,
by the way, doctor Deborah Burkes, who is just as
wrong and just as awful as Fauci. She just got
out of the game sooner because she didn't care anymore.
But the fact that they're now trying to create this
farewell tour for Fauci. Some journalists do have this little
impulse like, maybe we should know why the world was
(33:40):
basically shut down for almost two years or eighteen months
or you know, depending on where you are, maybe we
should know what happened and get to the bottom of it.
A lot of journals thought, no, no, they don't want
to know about a clay. They have no interest whatsoever.
Karen Jean Pierre knows her job is to run interference
for Fauci because he is inextricably linked with the rise
of the administration in the Biden regime. Faucci is like
(34:03):
the patron saint of idiotic Bidenism. Doctor Jaw also just
said buck I'm quoting him here. The real leaders of
American medicine are out there telling you you need to
go get a vaccine. You can decide to trust America's physicians,
or you can trust some random dude on Twitter. Honestly,
(34:25):
I think the random dude on Twitter is more likely
to be correct when it comes to COVID, right, Like,
I mean, you and I, Alex Berenson. I mean, if
you had to choose between us or doctor Fauci and
doctor Jaw, who do you think has consistently put better
and more reliable data in front of people. They don't
(34:46):
look at the scoreboard, they don't look at what was
said and what ended up being true and look for us.
I mean, I've I was very disappointed by a lot
of things that happened to midterms, But for me, one
of the biggest ones was that clearly, for a lot
of people, the fatigue gover just having to deal with
COVID and the shots and the masks and so, I mean,
social distancing was a scam, folks, the matter of public record,
(35:09):
Social distancing was a scam. This was a population control
tool used because they had nothing else to tell people.
I mean, I remember being in elevators and there were
little footmarkers for stand here in the elevator. So a
little box that I'm in for maybe twenty seconds is
telling me where my feet go because it's gonna give
(35:29):
me an extra three or four inches of room from
the It is so stupid and it was so debasing
to everybody. But you know, look, I'm down here, Like
I said, I'm here in Florida right now, Florida. Doesn't
you know that's not happening here. I'm gonna go up
to New York tomorrow. In New York, there's gonna be
some masks on the Plane's gonna be some masks on
the subway. There's gonna be a lot of crime in midtown.
And Democrats are fine with it. That's the really the problem.
(35:50):
They've been so conditioned and so brainwashed they don't even
see how insane all of this is. Buck, What about
the circles in outdoor parks? They had people put circles
in outdoor parks that you were supposed to sit in
to make yourself safe from COVID. The physicians of America
had kids in band practice, yeah, putting little holes in
(36:14):
their masks so they could play the clarinet. Did they
ever apologize for this. Everybody did it so smart libs
on MSNBC in the New York Times that aretorial page.
Did they ever say maybe putting kids during band practice
in big plastic bubbles, as they also did, Maybe putting
up weird plexiglass barriers that actually do nothing except make
(36:36):
the air flow worse and therefore make it more susceptible
that you will get an aerosolizes virus. Maybe that was
a bad idea and they should apoloted nothing. They just
march them. But look, it's just like they are with
socialism and climate change and everything else. They're wrong about everything.
All they do is destroy things and they just move
on to the next one. They don't care. I mean,
just think about we played you. That's sort of the
(36:57):
chaos breaking out in the Fauci press conference. Have you
heard Fauci apologize and say that he got anything wrong? Nope,
one thing wrong from COVID from the start. I haven't
heard him, in any moments of reflection acknowledge failures at all.
And that's why I hope the historical record holds him
accountable to a large extent. Up next, Mike Pence, Vice President,
(37:20):
does he regret giving Fauci the power that they did
in the early days. The Trump administration will ask next.
Sleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show on this Tuesday, November twenty second. Clay,
I gotta keep the days and the dates very clear
in my head. My little brother's birthday was Saturday the nineteenth,
My older brother's birthday is on Thanksgiving the twenty fourth.
(00:22):
Carrie's birthday is on Christmas. So a lot of birthdays,
and we got Thanksgiving coming up here in just a
couple of days. Clay and I will have some epic
throwdowns before you sit down to feast on your turkey
about the best regional side dishes. Always always a fun one.
People get as excited about a Clay as they do
their favorite sports team, no doubt. And I know everybody's
(00:43):
out on the road. This is the time when everybody
starts to travel. There's kids home, chaos is unspooling everywhere,
so make sure you go subscribe to that podcast. You
can get us anywhere, especially with Christmas coming up in
New Year's and a lot of different trips that people
will be taking. Take us with you wherever you get.
There's really no better way to base your turkey and
(01:05):
to prep the stuffing than to be listening to Clay
and Buck in the background. I'm just throwing that out there.
I mean, if you happen to miss any part of
the show, check out our podcast. So we've got a
lot of news stories today we really wanted to do
a broad array to get into. We've got, for example,
more just freak out from the twitterati about Elon's takeover
(01:26):
of this. And it is increasingly fascinating to see that
everything that we have said about the left when it
comes to their disdain and really fear of free speech
is true. They're showing us all that it's true, and
they're really at free speech def conto right now. They're
losing their minds over this. We'll discuss that. I also
(01:48):
want to take a moment to give credit to a
couple of heroes who subdued that mass shoot or that
mass murderer at the club over the weekend. Police are
crediting Fierro, who was a veteran of the United States Army,
with being one of two individuals. I'll get the other
name as well. Got some interesting stuff being aired on
(02:11):
Face the Nation. Clay a pretty now well known NYU
professor saying that Elon's takeover Twitter and the poll that
he put out on Trump was like Russian disinformation. They're
back to Russian disinformation. More on Sam Bankman freed of
FTX could have been orchestrating one of the biggest frauds
and biggest Ponzi schemes since made off. We'll see how
(02:35):
that shakes out. And Foucci's last speech is gonna We're
gonna have to do a special special segment for Faucci's
last speech in his role, which is going on as
we speak. I believe right he's happening right now. I
think he's speaking right now in the White House to
close out his tenure as a highest paid federal employee.
(02:57):
I just want to tell everybody out there that Lay
and Buck are two of the meanest, nastiest anti science voices.
I could just see little fouch runner around telling everybody
what an honor it is to have been running NAIAD,
a subdivision of NIH for approximately two hundred and seventy
(03:20):
five years, approaching a millennia millennium as the longest serving
federal government employee ever. So we'll have to get some
Fouchi clips. I didn't realize it was right when he's
saying I already saw some highlights, and by highlights I
mean low lights. They've said that if everybody gets the
COVID booster, that there will be no COVID deaths in
(03:42):
America like that. That is what they have said in
this last press conference. I'm furious, but we have FCC
rules about how I could express that fury on radio,
and we've got families listing, so kind of keep it,
keep it clean, no salty language. But Fauci is honestly
the absolute worst, and what he did to this country
(04:03):
is unforgivable and he should honestly spend the rest of
his days begging forgiveness the equivalent in like the Middle
Ages of going to a monastery and praying forever. Fauci
should be begging forgiveness. Instead, he is going to add
to his already considerable net worth. They're going to be
book deals, speaking tours, all because he did his part
for the left. He delivered for them politically, even though
(04:24):
he failed Clay entirely on the issue of COVID, wrong
about everything, never showed any courage, never showed any self reflection.
He delivered for the Democrat authoritarian lunatics, the double masking
six shot, getting why aren't you social? Distancing six feet
from people outdoors maniacs. He gave them what they wanted
(04:48):
politically and culturally, so they think he's a huge win.
He put Biden into White House. I think you can
argue that if you had a sane person in doctor
Fauci's seat who was not obsessed with COVID and not
only obsessed with COVID and the authoritarianism that it unleashed,
but also buck constantly attacking anybody who questioned his authority.
(05:14):
Remember the I am science. I mean, that is a
pretty crazy statement for anyone to have made. So when
you're attacking that's what I'm paraphrasing here, Fauci said, I
am science. So when you're attacking me, you're attacking science.
When the very foundation, as we've said on this show
for a long time, of the scientific method, is to
question everything. That is the basic basis of all science
(05:35):
knowledge is to question everything. It wasn't even just an
assault on free speech and the most basic individual liberties
during COVID, but Fauci undermined in grave ways the very
discipline that he pretends to embody that he literally said
he embodies I am science. And also beyond that, I
(05:57):
think has done tremendous damage to look I even share this.
You know, I'm down in Florida right now. I think
I'm gonna spending a lot of time here over the winter.
I'm gonna be heading back to New York tomorrow. But
I view Fauci as somebody who people latched onto for
emotional reasons, and people latched onto him because they needed
(06:21):
some kind of occult hero in the beginning, and then
eventually what you saw as this guy undermine public trust
in science in general, or rather in the profession and
in scientists. Because now every time I go in, like
if I go to I'll be in New York tomorrow.
Let's just say I had to go into a city
MD clinic, you know, one of those urgent they'd say,
excuse me, sir, you need to put a mask on.
(06:44):
And every time they do that, every time they do that,
they may as well like throw a pinch of salt
at me and tell me that they're, you know, getting
getting rid of any evil spirits that are following me
in it's lunacy. These people have been wrong, and the
fact that they've so corrupted the mentality the medical profession. Clay,
you sent this to me yesterday, I was already over
(07:05):
the weekend flipping out about this. Los Angeles is strongly
advising masks. I mean, this to me is about as
intelligent as if you had the you know, public health
experts telling you, hey, you know, if you're in a
bad car accident and you're bleeding heavily, rub some dirt
on it. You know, rub some dirt on it. That'll
help you. I had to take my kids. They're fine,
(07:27):
they're healthy, but for a wellness appointment at the children's
hospital Vanderbilt University out by my house. I couldn't believe it.
You still have to wear a mask to go to
a well children's meeting and in a hospital setting, doctor's
office setting. Buck, I don't know that this mask and
(07:51):
I have to catch myself too, so I don't curse
this mask. Insanity is ever going to leave, and in fact,
I think it's going to get ratcheted up even more
as we move now into the full on winter season.
You mentioned La and I sent that to you, where
the city of Los Angeles is basically going to start
encouraging people again. There's a story app on Fox News
(08:15):
that I read just before we set down here that
said Health and Human Services is pushing to try to
bring back masks. And I mean, this is our Department
of Health and Human Services, and you're talking about Fauci,
and I think you're right. Going around on speaking tours,
he's going to be speaking to an entire auditorium full
(08:35):
of people wearing masks, like as a point of pride.
Fauci is going to be up on the stage, He's
going to look out in an auditorium of sheep, and
they're all going to basically be buying and in front
of him wearing those masks. I mean, you know, this
is one of the one of the fundamental value propositions
(08:56):
of being a leftist. Well there, it's really two fold.
By signing onto the ideology of the democrat left, I
refer to as the apparatus, broadly speaking, you are signing
on to false virtue and false intellectual superiority. All you
have to do you go along with Faucci. You go
(09:17):
along with what the system tells you on these things.
And this is true of course on a whole range
of issues. As you all know, but COVID was a
particularly poignant example because it was demonstrably wrong. Right, we
could sit here and argue all day. They'll talk about
gun control and I'll show and we'll show all the
facts and their ideas don't work, or tax policy or
tax policy. There's arguments they say X will happen and
(09:39):
Z happens, and they just keep going with it. But
it's because the fundamental proposition is you sign on for
being a fauci being a leftist in good stead, and
you're more caring and smarter than other people, just based
on that. The same is the same idea with climate change,
by the way, right, this is people I care about
climate change, No, you don't, but you feel good about
(10:01):
yourself when you pretend. Right. So as a result of that,
it becomes really difficult, if not impossible, for people to
realize that they actually were swindled there. Because hubris is intentional.
They don't want you to think about these things. They
want you to just assume I signed on Clay, I'm
a Fauciite, so I believe in I believe in science
(10:24):
is the real, overall, overarching summary of this, And so
they don't ever want to give it up, because what
does it say about all the people that did this
for two years are still doing it in a third year.
I mean, buck, This is why I wish I could
spring ahead and read the history books one hundred years
from now. You know how we read all about the influenza,
(10:48):
the nineteen nineteen flu and everything's great books about it
because it is kind of a window into what they
went through and how it would apply potentially with COVID.
Here one hundred years from now, all these people walking
around in masks who feel like they are superior and
the doctor Fauci's of the world, I think they're going
(11:09):
to be the laughing stock of historians one hundred years
from now who can write, hopefully in a free way
and an honest way, without the passions of the political
moment dictating what direction they need to follow the evidence.
Because the data, as you and I have been saying
since basically May at the latest of twenty twenty, has
(11:29):
been clear that most of everything that our government did,
and unfortunately the trillions of dollars that we spent based
on this policy has been a complete object failure. You know,
there have been studies stretching back for centuries on the
basic concept of mob mentality. There's the Frenchman who really
did perhaps the most famous work on this. I mean,
(11:50):
there's Mackie's Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, right,
which really goes but that's about financial speculative bubbles for
the most part, Tulipmania in Holland, the Netherlands. But there's
Gustav Lebon to do the French or Leban people will
say Gustav Lebon, and he talks about the mob. He
(12:11):
actually has a book, just the Mob, where he gets
into the mindset of crowds where people intentionally play upon
their emotions to animate and mobilize them. And you read
about it and it's about slogans, and it's about chanting,
and it's about being in a group and how social
media today. And he was writing this in the gosh,
late eighteenth century, I think I'll have to check. Might
(12:33):
have been middle of might have been nineteen, might have
been nineteenth century, someone fact check me on that one.
But he was writing about it at a time obviously
pre internet. Right now we have the amplification and the
constant connectivity of those same tools of mob mentality and mobilization.
We think, oh, we're in this really sophisticated era in
(12:53):
the twenty first century. People acted like totally lunatic and
vicious clowns during COVID, and Fauci was the ringleader. Faucci
was at the front of the whole parade of stupidity.
And unfortunately, I gotta say, Clay, he's getting away with it.
I mean, basically, that's gonna give away with it in
(13:13):
his life. I hope that there is going to be
a reckoning post his life when historians actually start to
look at all the record, And frankly, I hope that
the House of Representatives can help to hold him accountable,
to at least put him in front of the under oath,
in front of them, to have to answer questions about
where COVID came from and whether we were culpable in
helping to allow its creation. And I have an important
(13:36):
health announcement, which is that doctor Fauci would like all
of the gentlemen in the audience to have low testosterone
and have no energy, drive a focus. That way, you're
going triple mask, maybe four masks. Four is amazing. The
one on the outside you can put like a you know,
Kamala Biden mask on top of the so low testosterone
(14:01):
makes you more amenable to being ordered around, or you
can actually have dry focus, higher energy, and greater ability
to get through your day, which obviously the apparatus and
the fauciites don't want. If you want some of that,

(15:30):
weekday to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome back
in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We're gonna have a
greatest hits coming for you as doctor Fauci, who I
think it's fair to say Buck and I just tweeted this,
(15:50):
I've never hated anyone in American political life more than
doctor Fauci. And I understand some of you out there
have the same advice that my grandma used to give.
You shouldn't hate anybody. You should ever say you No.
I hate Fauci. I really legitimately hate him. I'm sorry, Grandma.
I just no one in American public political life I
have ever hated anywhere near He is the emotion dishonest,
(16:14):
little quizzling I have ever seen in any rule. He
makes Adam Schiff look like a paragon or virtue. He
makes Nancy Pelosi look like a truth teller. And at
least those people are elected like you can. He was
never elected to any position of power, yet he has
ruled like a dictator for the past two and a
half years. So doctor Jah who is also in the
(16:37):
White House, they're having a big COVID press conference to
say goodbye to doctor Fauci and doctor Jaw is saying
things that are still proven to be one hundred percent untrue,
including if you get your COVID booster, You're not gonna
die of COVID. It's really with COVID. But that's a lie.
But here he is saying it from the White House,
Biden White House. Here's what we know. If folks get
(17:00):
their updated vaccines and they get treated, they have a
breakthrough infection, we can prevent essentially every COVID death in America.
That is a remarkable fact, two and a half years
after we found this virus first in our country. But
it's gonna take all of us to make that happen.
So please don't wait. Get your COVID shot, get your
(17:20):
flu shot. That's why God gave you two arms, one
in each arm. If you want it, get your COVID shot,
get your flu. Wait, so the COVID shot is basically
the flu shot, which is what a lot of us
said eighteen months ago. Yeah, okay, I'm glad we've finally
gotten to that point, Clay. We're everything that people were saying,
like you and me in the very beginning. They've just admitted,
but they won't admit that they're admitting it. They say
(17:40):
it out loud. The stuff that Fauci is saying right now,
everybody would drive a sane person deeply insane if they
had to sit there. You know, if we had like
prisoners that we were trying to get information from, Clay
just to Fauci's greatest hits would break them. And we're
gonna play some of that audio for you, and it's
going to be in areating, but you need to hear
(18:01):
what's still being said. But know that that is a
lie from doctor job. Lots of people who are getting
all their COVID shots still die with COVID. Yep. Gotta
have a cell phone. It is a must. I mean
I don't leave home without it now, that is Clay.
But your cell phone is only as good as your
service provider. If you haven't switched to pure Talk yet.
Now's the time. You'll not only say fifty or sixty

dial pound two five zero and say Clay and Buck Shoe.
Welcome back to clayon Buck. We're gonna tell you about
the fauci low light that he just gave his last
(19:27):
public pronouncements today. They're absolutely terrible, but just a bit
of quick housekeeping. Charles Marie Gustave Lebon was born in
eighteen forty one, so it was mid nineteenth century he
was born, and he actually he lived on nineteen thirty one.
He wrote The Crowd. He wrote a Psychology of Revolution
a lot of earlier, but The Crowd, a study of
(19:49):
the popular mind, is the one that he is most
famous for, where he talks about chants and slogans and
the mob mentality and basically the Democrat Party before really
was the Democrat Party of today. So that's well worth
it for anybody who's looking for some light pre Thanksgiving reading.
Clay just throwing that out there. And we've got Faucci
(20:13):
telling everybody all over the place that they need to
mask up. And I know you shared this on Twitter
a few moments ago. Everybody, he's still telling you to
get a COVID test before Thanksgiving dinner. People that went
along with this guy and defended him and said that
he was a genius and a hero should be ashamed.
(20:33):
I mean they should feel deeply embarrassed, you know. But Clay,
people have different Oh, it's in We've got some of it.
Oh boy, let's play which one do we have? I
want to do We have the first one here, Let's
do the one where he says that he that you
should get a COVID test before Thanksgiving. We're not talking
about this in twenty twenty twenty. I mean, this is crazy.
(20:54):
This has just happened in the White House, Fauci telling
you you may want to get a COVID test before
thanks Giving dinner. First of all, everybody should be vaccinated
and boosted with flu and with COVID, whether or not
you wear a mask or Another thing we shouldn't underestimate
is testing. So when we're gathering at a family gathering
(21:15):
for Thanksgiving, or for Christmas, or for any other holiday
as we get into the winter, it makes sense that
you might want to get a test that day before
you come into a place in which you might be
infected and spreaded or other people who might be there,
in order to protect So this masking is important. But
you can count masking, vaccine, boosting, testing, all of that
(21:39):
is part of the spectrum of protecting yourself. None of
that stuff does anything that's going to stop anybody from
getting COVID. By the way, we all know this. We've
been through this now, Clay, he is a vile sociopath.
I mean this is I also think it undermines people's
faith in government in general, in our federal bureaucracy, specifically
that this could be the highest paid federal employee, be
(22:01):
a celebrated person by the media and he's he's awful.
I mean, this is something he's never apologized or said
he was wrong once. He is wrong about everything and
should apologize for everything, but instead he's riding off into
the sunset to collect big checks for his memoirs. Yeah,
and the question that I would have, First of all,
what percentage of people do you think are testing or
(22:25):
wearing masks to their Thanksgiving gether? But even what what
would be the point? So was he telling people? You know,
if you're a Rachel Maddow watching five five Ukraine flags
and pronouns in the biolib are you gonna be like, well,
you know, unless unless somebody gets to test this year,
they can't come to my Thanksgiving dinner, you know, they
can't eat the big tofurky that I've made for everybody,
(22:47):
Like what is this? And also the question I would have,
I mean, look, I think everything that he said in
that clip we just played is utterly ridiculous. But when
would he say that ends? So who's not going away? Never?
COVID is not going away, so does he? I mean,
that's the question. So for the rest of our lives,
doctor Fauci, you are saying that you believe people should
(23:09):
wear masks and test for COVID before they go to
Thanksgiving dinner or to hang out with people for Christmas.
I mean, I just I wish that you know they've
they've kept him away. Honestly, the only people that I've seen,
the exception of Rand Paul, who get access to Fauci,
are completely worthless and don't ask him any real questions.
I'm just gonna say it. I mean, if somebody, if
Fauci has been willing to sit down with you, certainly
(23:32):
in the last year, maybe the last eighteen months, it's
because you're weak on what's actually happened here. I have
never seen him subjected to an interview. Rand Paul's different.
Obviously that's the Senate, But I mean the media sense,
he has evaded every serious interview with real accountability, and
and that's it's obvious why he's done it. Because play
(23:53):
think about this, So when should you wear a mask? Exactly?
Because it's gonna be flu and COVID see in basically
from now until the middle of March. So you're gonna
wear a cloth. Oh, by the way, cloth masks don't work,
which every data set that you can find shows and
ninety five masks don't really work either. Folks, you know
that wasn't true either. Double masking certainly doesn't work. So
(24:17):
what are we even talking about here? Well, moreover, Buck,
if you're going to Thanksgiving, you're going to eat so
presumably in his mask up between bites to your point, absolutely,
I mean, like what, I don't even understand that argument.
And he's telling people we've got a mask. Quote this
is not from twenty to twenty or twenty twenty one.
Fauci just now in the White House said, if you
(24:39):
go into a room, we're gonna play this for you
and you're the only person with the mask, you should
be feel good about yourself. You look great. Listen to this.
Do you say about the word mask now being a
pejorative in some comino It shouldn't be. I mean, you're
absolutely right. I mean, I know sometimes when you walk
in and you have a mask and nobody has a mask,
you kind of feel guilty. You shouldn't feel guilty. You
(24:59):
look terrific. I mean, we're at a point now if
someone is if someone is going into places where unless
you know, honestly, even if they have a health issue,
does masks don't work. So if someone's wearing a mask
at this point, they either have a level of anxiety
that they're not able to control, or they're just ignorant
of the actual data sets with masking. Those are the
only options at this point. There is no third option.
(25:21):
And I'm seeing people, like I watched football over the weekend, Buck,
there are people going to football games outdoors and wearing masks.
I mean, I just I'm going to Michigan, Ohio State
this weekend. There are going to be some people sitting
in a hundred thousand seat Buckeye Stadium wearing masks. I've
given up. On airlines, there's what like fifteen twenty percent
(25:42):
of people are still wearing masks on airlines. It is
scientifically as valid as a toddler keeping their blankie because
it'll scare the monsters away. It's absurd, and that's and
that's how adults should actually view it now. It's not
at all. We're gonna no, no, because remember anyone who's
out there still masking with overwhelming that I won't say everybody,
but generally speaking, people that are out there still masking.
(26:04):
If they could, they'd make you mask too. We saw that.
So this isn't a live and let live thing. This
is take the stupid mask off your face. It's ridiculous.
That's what I'll try to bring it back. I mean,
their stories up at HHS today that they would try
to bring back masks. I'm telling you a lot of
you listening to us right now, LA's talking about doing it.
You may and your poor kids. You may well before
(26:25):
this winner is out. If COVID players back up, they're
going to be trying to get you to put masks back.
I'm gonna be on our flight back to back to
New York tomorrow. I've been down in Florida. I'm gonna
be taking a flight back New York tomorrow. You know,
I think I'm just gonna take a you know, a distance,
one of those sort of distant selfies like a Bradley
Cooper at the oscars, except they'll be you know, near
the front of the plane. I mean, I don't fly
(26:46):
first class because I'm not fancy, but you know, I
like to try to be near the emergency exit. And
that's always funny to people sometimes seeing me, they're like,
aren't you Buck from a Clay and Buck show. I'm
like yeah, and they look at me like, interesting, you're
next to the bathroom in like row twenty seventeen. I'm like,
that's right, that's right. I f southwest, Buck. There is
no first class, you know. I know you flew southway.
(27:08):
You flew southwest of Patriot Wars. That's how Clay rolls too,
because come on, we're just trying to get where. We're
getting the easiest way to get somewhere. Now. Sometimes I
will hop on a little charter to get in and
out of a college town when it's hard to get into.
But I have to call that play force one? Or
is that not? Do they put a little decal in
aside for you? I'm not. I you know, I Rush
had a big plane, right. I'm hoping that one day
(27:29):
I'll have a plane too. That's my goal. Yeah, he
a a super plane. Um yeah, anyway, I just say
it about the plane. I want to take a photo
because I'm going back to New York tomorrow from Florida,
so this is a particular route. I know this route
very well, going back to be you know, in New
York City and spending Thanksgiving with the fan, and I
think there will be I think it'll be fifteen to
(27:52):
twenty percent masked up tomorrow. That's my guests on the plane.
That's what I think, which is sad for those. I mean,
I flew Nashville to Fort Lauderdale, and I was stunned
at how many people I saw still wearing masks on
the airplanes. Now I wasn't a huge number because I'm
going from a free state to a free state, but
it wasn't zero. I mean, there were still a lot
of people wearing masks on airplanes and at the airport.
(28:13):
I mean, I would put this out there. I mean,
the only you know, if you're a senior citizen with
health risks, the same way that senior citizens are advised
to maybe get a flu shot because okay, maybe there's
some downside, but you know, even a little bit of help,
even if reduces your risk maybe five or ten percent.
So I'll cut senior citizens out of the conversation about
masking a little bit here, even though I don't think
it really helps them, but I get it, Like you know,
(28:35):
you're at that age you want to avoid getting sick,
and maybe you think it helps you a little bit.
Anybody under fifty with a mask on I, like I said,
I just think they have other anxiety disorder or aren't
familiar with the data. I don't know what else to
say at this point, because it's just an impossible case
to make. Their brains are broken and Fauci has made
it worse. And and Ali, our producer, saying, you know,
(28:57):
up in New York City subway still packed with tons
of people wearing masks. And I remember my wife saying this,
and I thought she was crazy. She said, masters are
never going away. And I feel like that's the truth now.
I don't think masks are ever going to leave in
the United States again. Well, because the moment that people
stop wearing them was the moment a lot of people
(29:18):
realize they never should have warned them. Yep. And it's
it's about the ego involved of accepting that you were wrong.
Like you know, I'm I'm still upset that I said
I didn't say stochastic properly yesterday. You can imagine if
I've been wearing an N ninety five mask and super
(29:38):
uncomfortable for two years for no reason. Clay, you know, yeah,
that's a tough one. I think that's why they're never
going away. Sadly, but we should have adults telling people, hey,
it's safe, you don't need to do this. Instead we
got fouch you doing the opposite, saying you look fantastic
wearing your mask. It's a good week to get started,

Welcome back. In closing out our number one play Travis
buck Sexton Show, We've been playing as some of the
cuts from doctor Fauci's Goodbye press conference at the White House,
(31:27):
and we want to make sure that we play you
this because there is finally starting to be pushback against
the Biden White House and Karine Jean Pierre and the
dishonesty that they spew every single day. And I want
you to listen to this. It's a bit messy, but
let me give you the background. Diana Globova and if
I mispronounced her name, I apologize. She is a daily
(31:48):
caller reporter. She's trying to ask doctor Fauci about what
he did to investigate the origins of COVID and karine.
Jean Pierre steps in and says, this is inappropriate. You
weren't called on listen to this lecture. And then other
reporters also say, well, that's a very valid question. Just
listen to the chaos inside the White House Press corps
(32:10):
as they try to control who can ask questions and
what they can ask. Jeremy, it is not it is
not your turn. It is not your You can your
press brief, and you need from people. She has a
(32:32):
funny question. I hear the question. She's the best. Besides,
I hear your question. But we're not doing this the
way you want it. This is a disrespectful it is
I'm done, Simon, I'm done. I'm Simon, I'm done. I'm
done with you right now. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
You're taking time away from your colleagues, buck, I mean thanks,
(32:56):
you're coming undone. Huh. Yeah. Look, Fauci's actually not the
best person to answer this because he's been a bureaucrat
sitting in meetings telling people to wash their hands during
flu season until COVID for thirty years. I mean the
guy actually, if you look at what they what his
initial policy recommendations were on HIV as well. Nothing about Fauci,
(33:18):
surprising the people who know how wrong he was. And Burkes,
by the way, doctor Deborah Burkes, who is just as
wrong and just as awful as Fauci. She just got
out of the game sooner because she didn't care anymore.
But the fact that they're now trying to create this
farewell tour for Fauci. Some journalists do have this little
impulse like, maybe we should know why the world was
(33:40):
basically shut down for almost two years or eighteen months
or you know, depending on where you are, maybe we
should know what happened and get to the bottom of it.
A lot of journals thought, no, no, they don't want
to know about a clay. They have no interest whatsoever.
Karen Jean Pierre knows her job is to run interference
for Fauci because he is inextricably linked with the rise
of the administration in the Biden regime. Faucci is like
(34:03):
the patron saint of idiotic Bidenism. Doctor Jaw also just
said buck I'm quoting him here. The real leaders of
American medicine are out there telling you you need to
go get a vaccine. You can decide to trust America's physicians,
or you can trust some random dude on Twitter. Honestly,
(34:25):
I think the random dude on Twitter is more likely
to be correct when it comes to COVID, right, Like,
I mean, you and I, Alex Berenson. I mean, if
you had to choose between us or doctor Fauci and
doctor Jaw, who do you think has consistently put better
and more reliable data in front of people. They don't
(34:46):
look at the scoreboard, they don't look at what was
said and what ended up being true and look for us.
I mean, I've I was very disappointed by a lot
of things that happened to midterms, But for me, one
of the biggest ones was that clearly, for a lot
of people, the fatigue gover just having to deal with
COVID and the shots and the masks and so, I mean,
social distancing was a scam, folks, the matter of public record,
(35:09):
Social distancing was a scam. This was a population control
tool used because they had nothing else to tell people.
I mean, I remember being in elevators and there were
little footmarkers for stand here in the elevator. So a
little box that I'm in for maybe twenty seconds is
telling me where my feet go because it's gonna give
(35:29):
me an extra three or four inches of room from
the It is so stupid and it was so debasing
to everybody. But you know, look, I'm down here, Like
I said, I'm here in Florida right now, Florida. Doesn't
you know that's not happening here. I'm gonna go up
to New York tomorrow. In New York, there's gonna be
some masks on the Plane's gonna be some masks on
the subway. There's gonna be a lot of crime in midtown.
And Democrats are fine with it. That's the really the problem.
(35:50):
They've been so conditioned and so brainwashed they don't even
see how insane all of this is. Buck, What about
the circles in outdoor parks? They had people put circles
in outdoor parks that you were supposed to sit in
to make yourself safe from COVID. The physicians of America
had kids in band practice, yeah, putting little holes in
(36:14):
their masks so they could play the clarinet. Did they
ever apologize for this. Everybody did it so smart libs
on MSNBC in the New York Times that aretorial page.
Did they ever say maybe putting kids during band practice
in big plastic bubbles, as they also did, Maybe putting
up weird plexiglass barriers that actually do nothing except make
(36:36):
the air flow worse and therefore make it more susceptible
that you will get an aerosolizes virus. Maybe that was
a bad idea and they should apoloted nothing. They just
march them. But look, it's just like they are with
socialism and climate change and everything else. They're wrong about everything.
All they do is destroy things and they just move
on to the next one. They don't care. I mean,
just think about we played you. That's sort of the
(36:57):
chaos breaking out in the Fauci press conference. Have you
heard Fauci apologize and say that he got anything wrong? Nope,
one thing wrong from COVID from the start. I haven't
heard him, in any moments of reflection acknowledge failures at all.
And that's why I hope the historical record holds him
accountable to a large extent. Up next, Mike Pence, Vice President,
(37:20):
does he regret giving Fauci the power that they did
in the early days. The Trump administration will ask next.
