We were just talking about Build de Blasio as we
closed out the last hour. During the commercial break, official
news comes down Buck that he has dropped out of
(00:44):
the congress, out of the congressional race. I don't know,
do you think he listens to the show, Like, did
we make him sad? It is pretty incredible the timing
on that and during the commercial break he officially has
dropped out former mayor of New York City, Build a
Blasi tenth Congressional District in New York. His campaign is
no more after everyone had effectively decided they were done
(01:07):
with him. That timing is pretty incredible. I knew it
wasn't a good sign when you only are showing polling
three percent in what is a very crowded Democrat primary
for a certain Democrat congressional seat. But you would hope
that is the end of his career as a politician,
because it's hard to believe he could go anywhere else.
(01:28):
So the update on there, he has gone. He has
finished as a congressional candidate. A couple of other stories.
I told you we were going to hit. Kamala Harris,
not a great speaker and not an elite level debater,
dropped out of the Democrat presidential primary race before there
(01:50):
had even been a vote cast because Democrats didn't like her.
And I can't help but think this is truly the
dumbest argument that could be made in the abortion debate
pretty much, and it's not a surprise that Kamala Harris
would decide to make it here. She is effectively arguing
that requiring someone to have a baby is the equivalent
(02:16):
of slavery, and there is a long history of slavery
in American history and institutions. Listen, we know an ACP
that our country has a history of claiming ownership over
human bodies, and today extremists, so called leaders, are criminalizing
(02:44):
doctors and punishing women from making healthcare decisions for themselves,
personal decisions that is her right to make in consultation
with her doctor, her path master, her priest, her rabbi,
her loved ones, not her government telling her what to do.
(03:07):
All right, So, Tamala Harris, and have you heard that
right at the beginning of history? Because Democrats are unable
to talk about anything in this day and age without
trying to tie it into slavery. It really is unbelievable
that that is the default argument for pretty much anything
that they argue in favor of systemic racism, most because
(03:27):
of slavery. Every single thing that they're arguing for comes
back to America is a fundamentally racist country because slavery
once existed here. I don't think buck this is going
to be a very productive argument for Kamala. And this is,
of course one of the dumbest arguments she could make,
so it's not surprising that she would pick this one.
(03:47):
The whole debate it actually comes down to whether or
not it is a baby in the womb. So the
focus from all these Democrats on it's a women's choice,
and it's a women's body. And the point is that
there's another body, right, and there are plenty of places
in the law where you see that privacy does not
allow you know, privacy does not allow for child abuse,
(04:10):
Privacy does not allow for incest. You know. The society
protects people from things that happen behind closed or could
happen behind closed doors all the time, based on our
understanding of what is good, what is right, what is moral.
And this is all ultimately about protecting life in the womb,
(04:30):
another human being in the womb. Until they deal with
that argument, they're actually just speaking around the issue. They're
not even addressing the primary argument of the pro life movement.
No one's on the right sitting around saying we hate
that women can make choices. I mean, think about this.
We're always arguing in this plane of jargon and nonsense,
(04:52):
is it a baby or is it not a baby?
At what point is society willing to protect it as
a baby. That's everything and what we see, and we've
talked about this many times up to this point, is
a Democrat party just got into crazytown here, just went
far too extreme from being a party that would say look,
there are tough choices sometimes we want to you know.
(05:13):
And by the way, I think that was propaganda to
get us to this point. But that's another discussion. But
they're in favor of third trimester abortions, So they're in
favor of killing babies full stop. That's just what they're
in favor of. That's what they're arguing for, which is
why this has not moved the political needle in the
way that they had hoped for. And I think anticipated
I do believe there are a lot of Democrats who
(05:35):
thought the reversal of Row would save them from this
midterm annihilation. It's not going to put a dent in
the mid term space to what we're seeing right now.
And Kamala doesn't even have I don't know if it's
that she lacks the understanding where she lacks the honesty
to address the primary argument here, but she's a person
(05:55):
of very minimal character and minimal understanding. And what's amazing
about all of her failures is this is a speech,
I believe, before the NAACP, and so she's trying to
tie in the battle over abortions to slavery. The actual
easier argument to make if you want to make that
(06:16):
historical argument is the opposite of what she's arguing, which
is dread Scott. If you are a history person out
there was one of the reasons why we had the
Civil War because the dread Scott case effectively eliminated the
distinction between free enslave states because it said, even if
(06:36):
a slave is taken into a free state, he remains
dread Scott was the slave the property of his owner.
And that was a Supreme Court decision that came down
And people who have been pointing to overturn Roe v.
Wade for a long time have been arguing that is
an example of a case that was wrongfully decided that
(06:57):
needed to be rectified. So if you want to make
that historical analogy, there's actually an easier analogy to make
between dread Scott and Roe v. Wade is that Spring
Court cases sometimes are decided wrongly when it comes to
issues of life and freedom, and that is an example
of one that was overturned. I mean, you also can
look at the Stephen Douglas debates with Lincoln and Douglas
(07:19):
people always they'll talk about this in the context of
states rights, but they have to remember that Douglas's position
on slavery, if memory serves, was yeah, it's awful. I
wouldn't do it, but I want to allow people to
do it, which puts you in a very interesting moral plane. Well,
why why is it awful? And why should this state
want something that is immoral to be done? And this
(07:41):
is what this is where you get safe, legal, and rare.
This is where you get a lot of the Democrat
dance around the issue. I mean, ultimately until they speak
honestly about this. And I think you're going to see
more honest discussion of abortion than you ever have in
the past because the veneer of a constitutional right has
finally been taken away. I mean, that was preposterous all along,
(08:01):
from a legal perspective, from a constitutional perspective, and now
we're going to see this in state after state. You're
gonna have states where they're gonna have uh you know,
I mean that's why that so this this was so sad.
Jessica Biel, who was uh my TV crush when I
was growing up, right, I was married. Now that justin
Timberlake lives down the street here, didn't didn't it didn't
end up with the Buckster, you know, ended up with
(08:23):
international music superstar justin Timberlake. Whatever. But you know, she
goes over to France and look, she's an actress, and
I don't you know, she's an actress, right, so that
we think she knows a lot about policy. But she
talks about how they have croissants and women's rights. France
has an abortion ban in place, that's right, the same
as Mississippi. The libs in this country don't understand that
(08:46):
places like New York and California have abortion laws that
are mirrored or rather, you know, their state level laws
are mirrored in China, which had a one child policy
and operates concentration camps, and North Korea effectively. Nowhere else
on the planet do they think that an abortion in
the ninth month is not a murderer And yet California
(09:09):
and New York. This is this is again that there's
a madness behind this. There's a delusion that allows them
to to persist in this because they'll talk about the
rest of the world and everything else. Oh, we're out
of step with the rest of the world on climate
or whatever. That's not even true, but who cares on
this issue. We're in line with North Korea. And China,
in New York and California, not now in so many
(09:30):
by what's the law in Tennessee. I don't know what
the latest law in Tennessee. I think it mirrors the
moment that Rovie Wade was overturned. It went back to
the state law. It's a good question. I'm not even
sure what the exact way they had trigger laws in
some places, like they had a trigger law, but I'm
not sure what the trigger law took it back to.
(09:51):
So there was a trigger law in place, but I'm
not even sure what the term is now that it's
that it's permitted. It's a good question also to play this.
By the way, Biden, Assistant Secretary for Health, this is
a man who is now arguing that he is a
woman now known as Rachel Levine. That's fair to say,
right for people out their name is Rachel Levine. It's
(10:13):
a men. Yeah, yeah, says this is I mean, the
things that they are saying are pretty crazy. He said yesterday,
she said yesterday, whatever you want to define it. We
need to empower kids to change their gender. Kids changing
their gender, listen to this. So we really want to
to to debase our treatment and h and to affirm
(10:37):
and to support and empower these youths, not to limit
their participation and activities in sports and even a limit
their ability to get gender affirmation treatment in their state.
There you go. We need kids who are kids to
be getting gender affirmation treatment. That means if you're fourteen
(11:00):
or fifteen years old, this is a Biden administration official.
You're fourteen or fifteen years old, and you believe that
you need to get puberty blockers or you need to
start changing your gender, this is what should happen. This
is pretty radical, crazy things to be saying. Not even
(11:21):
adults who are changing their gender, kids and some kids
who are barely hit puberty at all. Why why do
they keep changing If this is a medical issue, why
do they keep changing all the terms? Why is it
now gender affirmation surgery? I would also want to know
what would it be if somebody has that surgery and
in this case kids. And let's be clear, they have
(11:43):
lied to you so much and gas let you so
much on these issues everybody, because when we talk about it,
when we engage, what do they do? Why are you
so focused on this? Why are you such an anti transbigot?
It's just about acceptance. No, this is about policy. This
is coming from the White House. This is what they're
advocting to be standard of care in the medical community.
(12:03):
By the way, it's a medical community that can't afford
any more politicization or being deeply wrong post COVID. That's
an aside. But Clay, what would it be if you
wanted to go back afterwards? Is it even possible to
go back after you've had your gender affirmation surgery? What
do they say about people? And there are people who
deeply regret having had that, having had that surgery, that
(12:27):
transformation which cannot actually transform you into a woman. They
change the terms. It's no longer gender dysphoria or gender
identity disorder, you know now. They they keep changing the
language to make it seem like this is already a
debate that's happened in the public, and we all agree
that children should have puberty blockers. This is horrible. It's
(12:49):
going to sterilize people as they get older. It's going
to prevent them from having full sexual function as they
get older. And we're going to trust twelve year olds
to make these decisions. And if you're a dolt who
tries to stand athwart the madness. The Biden folks want
to come after you. You're the problem. I just would
ask everybody out there think about this. In your own
(13:11):
lives and your kids' lives, grandkids lives. How often have
you made a choice at twelve or thirteen and then
later regretted it to a great extent? Often? Right? I mean,
that's part of what being twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year
old is. You're experimenting. You're making choices without a fully
developed consciousness, without an adult ability to discern fact, truth
(13:35):
and analyze things intelligently. This is a wild, crazy proposition
to be putting out there that kids who are under
eighteen should be receiving gender reassignment surgery. That's where the
Biden administration is. That's what Rachel Levine is arguing for.
Has the value of your home increased substantially in the
(13:55):
past year or past couple of years, Probably it has
if you're fortunate enough to own your home, and have
you right now considered what you might need to do
about making decisions as it pertains to your home. You know,
home prices in the last year up over twenty percent.
Many different parts of the country. Demand for buying homes
has done that. Your home equity is up, and that
(14:18):
means that you have a lot of options out there.
Maybe you're struggling with the inflation rate, maybe you're having
issues paying for everything that is going on right now
in your life. You can get a free mortgage review
with our friends in American Financing right now. Again, all
you have to do is look at your entire financial picture.
It will help put you in a great spot. Make
(14:39):
sure you can take advantage of your equity and also
reduce debt as well. All you have to do is
save up to a thousand dollars a month as little
as ten minutes. Think about the difference that can make
in your life. Pick up the phone right now and
you can be saving a thousand dollars a month or more.
Here's how you do it, call American Financing, just take
(15:00):
ten minutes. Eight hundred seven seven seven eighty one O nine.
That number eight hundred seven seven seven eighty one O nine.
You can also visit American Financing dot net in MLS

A lot of masks popping up here in NYC. Welcome
(15:20):
back to Clayann Buck. You can tell the COVID anxiety
is rising among the Libs. The face diapers are proliferating,
people are turning back to the COVID one point zero.
If we only just take it seriously, it'll be okay.
(15:40):
You got Biden Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine. We just
talked about this individual saying COVID is not done. So
we are certainly can still concerned with COVID nineteen. The
pandemic is not done yet, and we're concerned, as you said,
with the rise of the particularly the BA five variant,
which seems to be the most contagious variant yet. But
(16:03):
we know what works. We have the tools in the
tool box in order to address this, and that includes
our safe and effective vaccines and boosters, as well as
testing which is available throughout the country, and then wearing
masks according to the CDC guidelines, depending upon the amount
of community spread in the area in which you live. Yeah,
(16:24):
so everyone needs to really pay close attention to those
CDC bulletins to know what days they should mask, what
days they shouldn't mask. This is idiocy. It's as though
we've learned nothing or they've learned nothing. In two years. Clay, Yeah,
and I think that's where we are, frankly, is we've
got men who now identify as women lecturing us about
(16:45):
needing to follow the science. I mean, let's be honest here,
and I don't understand how the public health apparatus is
ever going to get back the trust of the vast
majority of the American public, because it's one thing if
they had been giving their opinions, but they've been telling
(17:05):
us things that have clearly been factually inaccurate for years now.
And the fact, I believe what is so staggering out
there and you hardly hear any media talking about it.
The perfect approximation is this is where are parents most
responsible for their young kids when they are six months
old babies up to about the age of five. Two
(17:27):
percent of parents are getting their six month old to
five year old to the COVID shot. Two percent, one
in every fifty parents out there is actually trusting the
CDC on whether to get their kids to COVID shot.
Our friend Alex Brenson is with us in a few
minutes here to talk about the vaccines, the masks, and
all the rest of it. Because it's not over, folks,
(17:49):
stay with us for that no doubt. We recently heard
from a Texas couple who are big believers the benefits
of relief Factor. Haven had already taken relief Factor for
her shoulder and lower back when her husband started taking
it to relieve his back and hip pain. Both of
them came to the same conclusion. Relief Factor works and
they both ordered more. Created by doctors, perfected by over
(18:10):
fifteen years of scientific research, or relief Factor made for
people seeking a more natural pain treatment. Four key ingredients.
Relief Factor one hundred percent drug free product which addresses
joint pain. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief Factor.
Seventy percent of them have gone on to order more.
You can join the more than half million people. Order
(18:32):
the three week quickstart today for only nineteen ninety five
go to relief Factor dot com. You can also call
eight hundred four relief either way. Nineteen ninety five three
week Quickstart developed specifically for you relief Factor dot Com.
Eight hundred the number four relief move more, live more,
enjoy your life more with relief Factor. Welcome back in
(18:55):
Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We are joined now by
our friend Alex Berenson. Who is now no longer banned
on Twitter, and he has been firing away many of
the different facts, data and details surrounding COVID and alex
I want to start with this because we were just
talking about it on the show, and we talked about
it this week and last week as well. Just two
(19:17):
percent of parents of six month old to five year
old kids in this country it's now been a month
where they could get the COVID shot, Just two percent
of them are getting the COVID shot for their young kids.
This is devastating to the COVID shot universe. Not a
lot of attention being paid to it. Yet you talked
(19:38):
about it with us, I believe the last time you
were on What is this telling us? And why are
so few people covering it? Well, they're not covering it
because they don't like it. Right? Is this runs contrary
to what you know the mainstream media, of the elite
media especially has been saying for you know, a year
(20:00):
and a half, which is, everybody knows the vaccines are great,
everybody's desperate for them. People really want to make sure
their kids are protected. Um, you know, people really want
boosters and uh, you know, we're in a very strange
place right now, where the narrative has sort of become
completely disconnected from reality in terms of what people actually
think about the vaccines as opposed to what the media
(20:22):
says about them. And this is I mean, this is
just usually embarrassing and there's there's no way, there's no
way to hide it. So you know, there's this excuse, Oh,
this is something parents are going to get um, you know,
at pediatricians visits with their kids, when in fact, the
reality is what I've heard from many many parents now
is that pediatricians who were encouraging this, uh you know
(20:43):
last year um with older kids, when you know, when
they shots are available for older kids are not saying
a word about it anymore. Whether or not you know,
it's a five to eleven year old or whether it's
a younger kid. Pediatricians don't They don't want to recommend
the COVID shots. Parents don't want to get that. And
you know, if you thought that this was beneficial, and
you're a decent parent, you know, or you're any parent,
(21:05):
you're gonna want this for your chump. It's free, it's available.
The fact that this has been rejected tells you everything.
You need to know about what people really think about
the shots at this point, Alex, thanks for being with us.
You know, right before you came on, we played well.
I think they always say, like four star Admiral Rachel Levine,
you know, in the HHS or whatever. They always loved
(21:26):
to talk about it. It It is an admiral. I'm like,
well not. I mean, it's kind of different admiral, different
in a lot of ways, different admiral. Um. But saying
we know what works, and this is the phrase that lives.
I almost think that they do it just to just
to agitate me, because I completely lose my mind. They say,
we know what works masks, tests, vaccines. How much more
(21:48):
clear does it have to be that those things actually
don't work when it comes to stopping the pandemic, which
now is is what exactly? People? I know, people that
are that are testing positive for code, they're saying, I
feel fine, no one really cares. So what are we doing?
That's I mean, that's a that's a fantastic question. What
are we doing? Um we have this sort of unhinged
(22:12):
flywheel that's just sort of spinning around. Um uh. And
if you you know, if you look at the countries
that you know, we're supposedly the winners of COVID, Australia,
New Zealand, UH, South Korea. You know, a lot of
countries in the Pacific RIM. You know, Australia and New
Zealand for example, right now have serious COVID outbreaks. Okay,
they have tons of cases. They actually are getting their
(22:33):
hospitals stilled up right now, and they've they've been vaccinated
and masked and tested. Nothing works. Okay, we know what works.
Nothing nothing works. This virus is going to do what
it's going to do. That's been clear for a long time.
It has mutated in a way that has made the
vaccines and I'm not let's not let's be clear, it's
(22:53):
not clear the vaccines ever would have had any long
term value. They now have no value. Um. And the
other thing that they say constantly is well, the vaccines
may not stop infection and transmission, but they definitely help, um,
you know, against severe disease and death. And when it
comes to omicon that it's completely unclear whether that's true either.
But I don't even want to go into that right now,
(23:15):
because because I think people are done on the one hand,
and yet the public health response just is sort of continuing.
But all people done, Alex because it's sorry, just because
they're putting back mask mandates in the San Diego schools.
Los Angeles County is like ten days away from them.
I mean, I think New York's probably gonna follow suit here.
(23:37):
I don't think people are done well. Well, people are
done whether or not, whether or not the public health
authories in certain sort of hard blue jurisdictions are done,
it's a different story. But you know, even in the
New York Times, you know, for example, wrote yesterday that
you know, they acknowledge that, you know, in the New
York City subways where you're supposed to wear masks, people
aren't wearing masks. Right. So the only place they have leverage,
(24:00):
the government authorities is in places where they have direct control, right,
which is unfortunately the public schools, the military. You know,
they have a lot of control over the healthcare system
because Medicare is such a powerful force in healthcare. So
they're going to continue to push you know, testing and masking,
and I don't know if they're going to push vaccines
(24:20):
anymore at this point. Actuals are so they've been so rejected,
but they're going to push testing and masking for a
while longer, and in the schools they can actually force
children to comply. So I don't know what's going to
happen with that, But but that doesn't mean that anybody
outside these very narrow interest groups that thinks that this
(24:41):
is a good idea. Yeah, and I was going to
build them with what Buck just said. I mean, I
don't know if you heard the San Diego school director
who basically got pushed and said, well, if you don't
want to wear masks, don't come to school. What we
have seen, unfortunately, as we have lost many, many kids
who would otherwise be in school because of our COVID response.
So do you think that any school districts in America
(25:03):
are going to mandate the COVID shot this fall in
order for kids to return. You don't think that's going
to happen. No, that the mask they can sort of
marginally push because because mass are sort of you know,
I don't think mass too much to harm to most kids,
and I think there's some kids, especially if you you know,
(25:24):
if you have trouble hearing. Obviously, being in an environment
where a lot of kids have mass is not good
if you're you know, if you have if you have autism, um,
it can be bad. But for most kids, those kids
just walk around the masks around their chins anyway. I mean,
that's really what you saw last year. So you don't
think there's going to be any COVID shot requirements, which
isn't going to regime There will be. There will be no, no, no,
Even in California they have dropped that. And and I
(25:46):
know that Eric Adams sort of hinted at this a
couple of weeks ago. You've heard nothing more. Okay in
a country, in a democratic country, you can't force something
that ninety eight percent of parents don't want. You just can't, okay.
So I'm sure you also saw the USC and the
UCLA hospital systems in LA, which I thought was really interesting.
(26:08):
Now they tried to walk back a bit, but they
effectively said, Hey, of all the people that are being
counted right now as COVID patients, only ten percent of
that number are actually hospitalized with COVID. The other ninety
percent are testing incidental for COVID. Do we get the
sense that that is the case for much of the nation,
(26:29):
And if so, how important were those doctors coming out
and making the statement that they did. I mean, I
ten percent seemed low to me. And what might be
driving at that, you know, at that particular hospital, I
don't know. They said they did test everyone upon an entry,
so they are catching a lot of incidental COVID. But yeah,
we've known for a long time the tons of COVID
(26:51):
is incidental rights the tons of COVID people don't know
they have or have very mild cases. And that was
true before omicrons, it's really true now. So there was
a paper out of Italy a couple of weeks ago
that was actually looking at the persistence of COVID anybodies
among children who'd been naturally infected, not vaccinated, and it
showed they have incredible persistence, which is really good. You
(27:14):
get it once as a child, you have anybodies for
a long time, you're essentially protected going forward for as
long as we've been able to test right now. But
what that also found there was a sort of incidental
number in the paper that's something like ninety eight percent
of the people in the study. These are young, healthy
Italian you know families had either no symptoms or mild
symptoms of COVID. So so that's always been true, and
(27:36):
with omicron even more true. The people who aren't getting
sicker now and appear to be getting reinfected are people
I hate to say this because it sounds considered true,
but it is true who have been vaccinated and boosted,
and that, you know, that's what we need to be
concerned about going forward, is that is that it looks
like there's increasing evidence that once you're vaccinated, you if
(27:58):
you get infected with macron, you wind up with anybodies
that are really antibodies to the original strain of covid,
which doesn't existing Moore, and so your immune response is suboptimal.
Right now. Now, that doesn't matter that much for most
people right now because amicron is so mild. But my
big concern, and I'm not saying this is going to
(28:19):
happen or is even likely to happen. My big concern
is that if a new variant comes and it is
more dangerous, people who've been vaccinated and boosted will wind
up in this position where their immune response is not
what it would be. Have you seen Alex By the way,
there's audio of Fauci very very early on when they
(28:40):
were trying to you know, get when they were before
even they were talking about warp speed, where he was saying,
sometimes vaccines, if you go too quickly, can actually have
that effect. Yes, which, now, if you've talked about that
the last two years, they've basically wanted to exile you
to Siberia. Yeah, it's and that's crazy because not talking
about it doesn't mean it's not a real risk. And
(29:02):
so again we aren't. This funny point, right, the pandemic
is basically over in many, many people's mind. I was
in Las Vegas over the weekend and you know, there
wasn't a person wearing a mask. I mean I exaggerated slightly,
but ninety five percent of people were not wearing masks.
No one was mentioning COVID. It was over, Okay, you know.
Then I come back to New York and yes there's
(29:24):
still there's still idiots and n ninety five. But most
people are done with this, and I think as they
should be, because because we've lived through it. But but
there is this sort of tail risk with you know,
with anybody depends dependent enhancement. There's this risk that the
vaccines are going to come back to bite us in
a terrible way. I don't think it's a high risk,
(29:44):
but I think it's real, real quick, Alex, I just wondering.
You know, they keep saying that high quality masks work.
This has been the switch recently because the mask thing
I completely just reject. I think this is horrible. They
need to stop doing this. Does the data actually support
that even N ninety five masks have done anything substantial
to reduce COVID spread? No, No, there's some evidence if
(30:06):
you wear a ninety five properly and you're in a
hospital and you wear it for you know, three hours,
and then you switch to a new one, and you
know you do it right, that there's some evidence that
those have some reduction of influenza or coronavirus, you know, infection.
But it's not very good evidence, and it's not a
very high rate. And nobody in the civilian world wears
(30:27):
them that way anyway. So, you know, the mask thing.
The reason they wanted masks was because masks scared people.
When the masks ended, the pandemic ended. And it's and
again you go, when you walk around a place where
people aren't wearing masks, you just forget that this thing
ever happened. So I do think that's why they're pushing masks. Yep,
we think so too. The midterm variant one way or another.
(30:50):
Everybody should go check out Alex's sub stack. And I
know he's working on a book too, so go check
out Unreported Truth COVID nineteen on substack. Alex Barrens and everybody. Alex,

podcast store. Give us a review. AOC just got arrested
outside the Supreme Court protesting. I actually know she wasn't arrested.
She was escorted from the area. But on video Clay
(32:40):
she is holding her hands voluntarily behind her as though
she is handcuffed, but she's not really handcuffed. Their imaginary cuffs.
What the heck is that she wants the attention and
unfortunately and You may have seen this ridiculous video that
went viral of the kids at Sesame Street and the
(33:03):
mascot not recognizing them enough in this era that we're in,
and they argued, by the way, Sesame Streets racist in
this era that we're in. AOC is aware that if
she pretend I really think this, if she pretends to
walk as if she has been handcuffed, there will be
some people who will grab videos of that. They will
(33:26):
grab pictures of that, and it will appear to a
certain segment of the population that otherwise gets all their
information from Instagram and five second video feeds TikTok that
she was arrested for protesting abortion like that will be
widely reported. Now. Ilhan Omar also did the exact same thing.
(33:46):
They wanted, probably to get arrested for the attention. So
when police were asking them to move, they pretended that
they were being handcuffed, as if they were actually being
restrained and being put into patty wagons, police cars, whatever
you want to say. It's crazy, by the way, your
description of AOC, but that she's an Instagram influencer who
(34:09):
happens to be a member of Congress, I do think
that is the most app description of her I've heard
so well done, mister Clay Travis. Thank you. And also
we talked before about this looming showdown between desantists and Newsome,
even if it's not a presidential showdown. The state that
is the most sort of anti lockdown, conservative pro freedom
(34:32):
state during COVID Florida, and the most insane lockdown no
eating or drinking outside aloud at restaurants, no paddleboarding in
the ocean, California. We actually have desantists taking a swing
at you. Better watch out, man heavy D knows how
to throw a punch. Here's Desantists talking about Newsom. This
is a guy that lock people down, that kept kids
(34:55):
out of school, denied people the right to earn a living,
wanted to force COVID as on people. What did I do?
I stood in the way of all that. I lifted
people up. We stood with students against the teachers union,
we stood with individuals against big government, and we made
sure that people had the choice about whether they wanted
to take this VAXX or not. They should not have
(35:17):
ever been in a position to lose their job. He
also attacked me for helping these special Olympic athletes. These
athletes were they have Down syndrome disabilities and they wanted
to compete in the Special Olympics on Orlando. Well, there's
an international bureaucracy affiliated with the group that imposed VACS
discrimination on these athletes. The athletes I met, their doctors
(35:39):
told them not to do it based on their condition.
So what did we do. We fought the bureaucracy. It's
gonna be great clay to watch this play out if
you missed where this all started. Newsom said the reason
he bought the ads in the state of Florida was
because Rod De Santis fought against a COVID shot requirement
(36:01):
for Special Olympics athletes. Of all the reasons that he
could have chosen to come after De Santis letting kids
of letting parents and kids of special needs make choices
that are rational for them for the Special Olympics so
that as many of them can compete as possible. That's
the battleground that that Rhonda Santis was attacked by. For Newsome,
(36:26):
he lives in the upside down. To use a Stranger
Things reference, he thinks that his state is the free one,
and I don't think the vast majority of the American
public believes that at all, and so this, to me
is a recipe for a disaster, but it might also
be an early preview what twenty twenty four might look like.
It's gonna be quite interesting. Folks, join us for it all. Sleet,
(36:49):

We were just talking about Build de Blasio as we
closed out the last hour. During the commercial break, official
news comes down Buck that he has dropped out of
(00:44):
the congress, out of the congressional race. I don't know,
do you think he listens to the show, Like, did
we make him sad? It is pretty incredible the timing
on that and during the commercial break he officially has
dropped out former mayor of New York City, Build a
Blasi tenth Congressional District in New York. His campaign is
no more after everyone had effectively decided they were done
(01:07):
with him. That timing is pretty incredible. I knew it
wasn't a good sign when you only are showing polling
three percent in what is a very crowded Democrat primary
for a certain Democrat congressional seat. But you would hope
that is the end of his career as a politician,
because it's hard to believe he could go anywhere else.
(01:28):
So the update on there, he has gone. He has
finished as a congressional candidate. A couple of other stories.
I told you we were going to hit. Kamala Harris,
not a great speaker and not an elite level debater,
dropped out of the Democrat presidential primary race before there
(01:50):
had even been a vote cast because Democrats didn't like her.
And I can't help but think this is truly the
dumbest argument that could be made in the abortion debate
pretty much, and it's not a surprise that Kamala Harris
would decide to make it here. She is effectively arguing
that requiring someone to have a baby is the equivalent
(02:16):
of slavery, and there is a long history of slavery
in American history and institutions. Listen, we know an ACP
that our country has a history of claiming ownership over
human bodies, and today extremists, so called leaders, are criminalizing
(02:44):
doctors and punishing women from making healthcare decisions for themselves,
personal decisions that is her right to make in consultation
with her doctor, her path master, her priest, her rabbi,
her loved ones, not her government telling her what to do.
(03:07):
All right, So, Tamala Harris, and have you heard that
right at the beginning of history? Because Democrats are unable
to talk about anything in this day and age without
trying to tie it into slavery. It really is unbelievable
that that is the default argument for pretty much anything
that they argue in favor of systemic racism, most because
(03:27):
of slavery. Every single thing that they're arguing for comes
back to America is a fundamentally racist country because slavery
once existed here. I don't think buck this is going
to be a very productive argument for Kamala. And this is,
of course one of the dumbest arguments she could make,
so it's not surprising that she would pick this one.
(03:47):
The whole debate it actually comes down to whether or
not it is a baby in the womb. So the
focus from all these Democrats on it's a women's choice,
and it's a women's body. And the point is that
there's another body, right, and there are plenty of places
in the law where you see that privacy does not
allow you know, privacy does not allow for child abuse,
(04:10):
Privacy does not allow for incest. You know. The society
protects people from things that happen behind closed or could
happen behind closed doors all the time, based on our
understanding of what is good, what is right, what is moral.
And this is all ultimately about protecting life in the womb,
(04:30):
another human being in the womb. Until they deal with
that argument, they're actually just speaking around the issue. They're
not even addressing the primary argument of the pro life movement.
No one's on the right sitting around saying we hate
that women can make choices. I mean, think about this.
We're always arguing in this plane of jargon and nonsense,
(04:52):
is it a baby or is it not a baby?
At what point is society willing to protect it as
a baby. That's everything and what we see, and we've
talked about this many times up to this point, is
a Democrat party just got into crazytown here, just went
far too extreme from being a party that would say look,
there are tough choices sometimes we want to you know.
(05:13):
And by the way, I think that was propaganda to
get us to this point. But that's another discussion. But
they're in favor of third trimester abortions, So they're in
favor of killing babies full stop. That's just what they're
in favor of. That's what they're arguing for, which is
why this has not moved the political needle in the
way that they had hoped for. And I think anticipated
I do believe there are a lot of Democrats who
(05:35):
thought the reversal of Row would save them from this
midterm annihilation. It's not going to put a dent in
the mid term space to what we're seeing right now.
And Kamala doesn't even have I don't know if it's
that she lacks the understanding where she lacks the honesty
to address the primary argument here, but she's a person
(05:55):
of very minimal character and minimal understanding. And what's amazing
about all of her failures is this is a speech,
I believe, before the NAACP, and so she's trying to
tie in the battle over abortions to slavery. The actual
easier argument to make if you want to make that
(06:16):
historical argument is the opposite of what she's arguing, which
is dread Scott. If you are a history person out
there was one of the reasons why we had the
Civil War because the dread Scott case effectively eliminated the
distinction between free enslave states because it said, even if
(06:36):
a slave is taken into a free state, he remains
dread Scott was the slave the property of his owner.
And that was a Supreme Court decision that came down
And people who have been pointing to overturn Roe v.
Wade for a long time have been arguing that is
an example of a case that was wrongfully decided that
(06:57):
needed to be rectified. So if you want to make
that historical analogy, there's actually an easier analogy to make
between dread Scott and Roe v. Wade is that Spring
Court cases sometimes are decided wrongly when it comes to
issues of life and freedom, and that is an example
of one that was overturned. I mean, you also can
look at the Stephen Douglas debates with Lincoln and Douglas
(07:19):
people always they'll talk about this in the context of
states rights, but they have to remember that Douglas's position
on slavery, if memory serves, was yeah, it's awful. I
wouldn't do it, but I want to allow people to
do it, which puts you in a very interesting moral plane. Well,
why why is it awful? And why should this state
want something that is immoral to be done? And this
(07:41):
is what this is where you get safe, legal, and rare.
This is where you get a lot of the Democrat
dance around the issue. I mean, ultimately until they speak
honestly about this. And I think you're going to see
more honest discussion of abortion than you ever have in
the past because the veneer of a constitutional right has
finally been taken away. I mean, that was preposterous all along,
(08:01):
from a legal perspective, from a constitutional perspective, and now
we're going to see this in state after state. You're
gonna have states where they're gonna have uh you know,
I mean that's why that so this this was so sad.
Jessica Biel, who was uh my TV crush when I
was growing up, right, I was married. Now that justin
Timberlake lives down the street here, didn't didn't it didn't
end up with the Buckster, you know, ended up with
(08:23):
international music superstar justin Timberlake. Whatever. But you know, she
goes over to France and look, she's an actress, and
I don't you know, she's an actress, right, so that
we think she knows a lot about policy. But she
talks about how they have croissants and women's rights. France
has an abortion ban in place, that's right, the same
as Mississippi. The libs in this country don't understand that
(08:46):
places like New York and California have abortion laws that
are mirrored or rather, you know, their state level laws
are mirrored in China, which had a one child policy
and operates concentration camps, and North Korea effectively. Nowhere else
on the planet do they think that an abortion in
the ninth month is not a murderer And yet California
(09:09):
and New York. This is this is again that there's
a madness behind this. There's a delusion that allows them
to to persist in this because they'll talk about the
rest of the world and everything else. Oh, we're out
of step with the rest of the world on climate
or whatever. That's not even true, but who cares on
this issue. We're in line with North Korea. And China,
in New York and California, not now in so many
(09:30):
by what's the law in Tennessee. I don't know what
the latest law in Tennessee. I think it mirrors the
moment that Rovie Wade was overturned. It went back to
the state law. It's a good question. I'm not even
sure what the exact way they had trigger laws in
some places, like they had a trigger law, but I'm
not sure what the trigger law took it back to.
(09:51):
So there was a trigger law in place, but I'm
not even sure what the term is now that it's
that it's permitted. It's a good question also to play this.
By the way, Biden, Assistant Secretary for Health, this is
a man who is now arguing that he is a
woman now known as Rachel Levine. That's fair to say,
right for people out their name is Rachel Levine. It's
(10:13):
a men. Yeah, yeah, says this is I mean, the
things that they are saying are pretty crazy. He said yesterday,
she said yesterday, whatever you want to define it. We
need to empower kids to change their gender. Kids changing
their gender, listen to this. So we really want to
to to debase our treatment and h and to affirm
(10:37):
and to support and empower these youths, not to limit
their participation and activities in sports and even a limit
their ability to get gender affirmation treatment in their state.
There you go. We need kids who are kids to
be getting gender affirmation treatment. That means if you're fourteen
(11:00):
or fifteen years old, this is a Biden administration official.
You're fourteen or fifteen years old, and you believe that
you need to get puberty blockers or you need to
start changing your gender, this is what should happen. This
is pretty radical, crazy things to be saying. Not even
(11:21):
adults who are changing their gender, kids and some kids
who are barely hit puberty at all. Why why do
they keep changing If this is a medical issue, why
do they keep changing all the terms? Why is it
now gender affirmation surgery? I would also want to know
what would it be if somebody has that surgery and
in this case kids. And let's be clear, they have
(11:43):
lied to you so much and gas let you so
much on these issues everybody, because when we talk about it,
when we engage, what do they do? Why are you
so focused on this? Why are you such an anti transbigot?
It's just about acceptance. No, this is about policy. This
is coming from the White House. This is what they're
advocting to be standard of care in the medical community.
(12:03):
By the way, it's a medical community that can't afford
any more politicization or being deeply wrong post COVID. That's
an aside. But Clay, what would it be if you
wanted to go back afterwards? Is it even possible to
go back after you've had your gender affirmation surgery? What
do they say about people? And there are people who
deeply regret having had that, having had that surgery, that
(12:27):
transformation which cannot actually transform you into a woman. They
change the terms. It's no longer gender dysphoria or gender
identity disorder, you know now. They they keep changing the
language to make it seem like this is already a
debate that's happened in the public, and we all agree
that children should have puberty blockers. This is horrible. It's
(12:49):
going to sterilize people as they get older. It's going
to prevent them from having full sexual function as they
get older. And we're going to trust twelve year olds
to make these decisions. And if you're a dolt who
tries to stand athwart the madness. The Biden folks want
to come after you. You're the problem. I just would
ask everybody out there think about this. In your own
(13:11):
lives and your kids' lives, grandkids lives. How often have
you made a choice at twelve or thirteen and then
later regretted it to a great extent? Often? Right? I mean,
that's part of what being twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year
old is. You're experimenting. You're making choices without a fully
developed consciousness, without an adult ability to discern fact, truth
(13:35):
and analyze things intelligently. This is a wild, crazy proposition
to be putting out there that kids who are under
eighteen should be receiving gender reassignment surgery. That's where the
Biden administration is. That's what Rachel Levine is arguing for.
Has the value of your home increased substantially in the
(13:55):
past year or past couple of years, Probably it has
if you're fortunate enough to own your home, and have
you right now considered what you might need to do
about making decisions as it pertains to your home. You know,
home prices in the last year up over twenty percent.
Many different parts of the country. Demand for buying homes
has done that. Your home equity is up, and that
(14:18):
means that you have a lot of options out there.

A lot of masks popping up here in NYC. Welcome
(15:20):
back to Clayann Buck. You can tell the COVID anxiety
is rising among the Libs. The face diapers are proliferating,
people are turning back to the COVID one point zero.
If we only just take it seriously, it'll be okay.
(15:40):
You got Biden Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine. We just
talked about this individual saying COVID is not done. So
we are certainly can still concerned with COVID nineteen. The
pandemic is not done yet, and we're concerned, as you said,
with the rise of the particularly the BA five variant,
which seems to be the most contagious variant yet. But
(16:03):
we know what works. We have the tools in the
tool box in order to address this, and that includes
our safe and effective vaccines and boosters, as well as
testing which is available throughout the country, and then wearing
masks according to the CDC guidelines, depending upon the amount
of community spread in the area in which you live. Yeah,
(16:24):
so everyone needs to really pay close attention to those
CDC bulletins to know what days they should mask, what
days they shouldn't mask. This is idiocy. It's as though
we've learned nothing or they've learned nothing. In two years. Clay, Yeah,
and I think that's where we are, frankly, is we've
got men who now identify as women lecturing us about
(16:45):
needing to follow the science. I mean, let's be honest here,
and I don't understand how the public health apparatus is
ever going to get back the trust of the vast
majority of the American public, because it's one thing if
they had been giving their opinions, but they've been telling
(17:05):
us things that have clearly been factually inaccurate for years now.
And the fact, I believe what is so staggering out
there and you hardly hear any media talking about it.
The perfect approximation is this is where are parents most
responsible for their young kids when they are six months
old babies up to about the age of five. Two
(17:27):
percent of parents are getting their six month old to
five year old to the COVID shot. Two percent, one
in every fifty parents out there is actually trusting the
CDC on whether to get their kids to COVID shot.
Our friend Alex Brenson is with us in a few
minutes here to talk about the vaccines, the masks, and
all the rest of it. Because it's not over, folks,
(17:49):
stay with us for that no doubt. We recently heard
from a Texas couple who are big believers the benefits
of relief Factor. Haven had already taken relief Factor for
her shoulder and lower back when her husband started taking
it to relieve his back and hip pain. Both of
them came to the same conclusion. Relief Factor works and
they both ordered more. Created by doctors, perfected by over
(18:10):
fifteen years of scientific research, or relief Factor made for
people seeking a more natural pain treatment. Four key ingredients.
Relief Factor one hundred percent drug free product which addresses
joint pain. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief Factor.
Seventy percent of them have gone on to order more.

Eight hundred the number four relief move more, live more,
enjoy your life more with relief Factor. Welcome back in
(18:55):
Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We are joined now by
our friend Alex Berenson. Who is now no longer banned
on Twitter, and he has been firing away many of
the different facts, data and details surrounding COVID and alex
I want to start with this because we were just
talking about it on the show, and we talked about
it this week and last week as well. Just two
(19:17):
percent of parents of six month old to five year
old kids in this country it's now been a month
where they could get the COVID shot, Just two percent
of them are getting the COVID shot for their young kids.
This is devastating to the COVID shot universe. Not a
lot of attention being paid to it. Yet you talked
(19:38):
about it with us, I believe the last time you
were on What is this telling us? And why are
so few people covering it? Well, they're not covering it
because they don't like it. Right? Is this runs contrary
to what you know the mainstream media, of the elite
media especially has been saying for you know, a year
(20:00):
and a half, which is, everybody knows the vaccines are great,
everybody's desperate for them. People really want to make sure
their kids are protected. Um, you know, people really want
boosters and uh, you know, we're in a very strange
place right now, where the narrative has sort of become
completely disconnected from reality in terms of what people actually
think about the vaccines as opposed to what the media
(20:22):
says about them. And this is I mean, this is
just usually embarrassing and there's there's no way, there's no
way to hide it. So you know, there's this excuse, Oh,
this is something parents are going to get um, you know,
at pediatricians visits with their kids, when in fact, the
reality is what I've heard from many many parents now
is that pediatricians who were encouraging this, uh you know
(20:43):
last year um with older kids, when you know, when
they shots are available for older kids are not saying
a word about it anymore. Whether or not you know,
it's a five to eleven year old or whether it's
a younger kid. Pediatricians don't They don't want to recommend
the COVID shots. Parents don't want to get that. And
you know, if you thought that this was beneficial, and
you're a decent parent, you know, or you're any parent,
(21:05):
you're gonna want this for your chump. It's free, it's available.
The fact that this has been rejected tells you everything.
You need to know about what people really think about
the shots at this point, Alex, thanks for being with us.
You know, right before you came on, we played well.
I think they always say, like four star Admiral Rachel Levine,
you know, in the HHS or whatever. They always loved
(21:26):
to talk about it. It It is an admiral. I'm like,
well not. I mean, it's kind of different admiral, different
in a lot of ways, different admiral. Um. But saying
we know what works, and this is the phrase that lives.
I almost think that they do it just to just
to agitate me, because I completely lose my mind. They say,
we know what works masks, tests, vaccines. How much more
(21:48):
clear does it have to be that those things actually
don't work when it comes to stopping the pandemic, which
now is is what exactly? People? I know, people that
are that are testing positive for code, they're saying, I
feel fine, no one really cares. So what are we doing?
That's I mean, that's a that's a fantastic question. What
are we doing? Um we have this sort of unhinged
(22:12):
flywheel that's just sort of spinning around. Um uh. And
if you you know, if you look at the countries
that you know, we're supposedly the winners of COVID, Australia,
New Zealand, UH, South Korea. You know, a lot of
countries in the Pacific RIM. You know, Australia and New
Zealand for example, right now have serious COVID outbreaks. Okay,
they have tons of cases. They actually are getting their
(22:33):
hospitals stilled up right now, and they've they've been vaccinated
and masked and tested. Nothing works. Okay, we know what works.
Nothing nothing works. This virus is going to do what
it's going to do. That's been clear for a long time.
It has mutated in a way that has made the
vaccines and I'm not let's not let's be clear, it's
(22:53):
not clear the vaccines ever would have had any long
term value. They now have no value. Um. And the
other thing that they say constantly is well, the vaccines
may not stop infection and transmission, but they definitely help, um,
you know, against severe disease and death. And when it
comes to omicon that it's completely unclear whether that's true either.
But I don't even want to go into that right now,
(23:15):
because because I think people are done on the one hand,
and yet the public health response just is sort of continuing.
But all people done, Alex because it's sorry, just because
they're putting back mask mandates in the San Diego schools.
Los Angeles County is like ten days away from them.
I mean, I think New York's probably gonna follow suit here.
(23:37):
I don't think people are done well. Well, people are
done whether or not, whether or not the public health
authories in certain sort of hard blue jurisdictions are done,
it's a different story. But you know, even in the
New York Times, you know, for example, wrote yesterday that
you know, they acknowledge that, you know, in the New
York City subways where you're supposed to wear masks, people
aren't wearing masks. Right. So the only place they have leverage,
(24:00):
the government authorities is in places where they have direct control, right,
which is unfortunately the public schools, the military. You know,
they have a lot of control over the healthcare system
because Medicare is such a powerful force in healthcare. So
they're going to continue to push you know, testing and masking,
and I don't know if they're going to push vaccines
(24:20):
anymore at this point. Actuals are so they've been so rejected,
but they're going to push testing and masking for a
while longer, and in the schools they can actually force
children to comply. So I don't know what's going to
happen with that, But but that doesn't mean that anybody
outside these very narrow interest groups that thinks that this
(24:41):
is a good idea. Yeah, and I was going to
build them with what Buck just said. I mean, I
don't know if you heard the San Diego school director
who basically got pushed and said, well, if you don't
want to wear masks, don't come to school. What we
have seen, unfortunately, as we have lost many, many kids
who would otherwise be in school because of our COVID response.
So do you think that any school districts in America
(25:03):
are going to mandate the COVID shot this fall in
order for kids to return. You don't think that's going
to happen. No, that the mask they can sort of
marginally push because because mass are sort of you know,
I don't think mass too much to harm to most kids,
and I think there's some kids, especially if you you know,
(25:24):
if you have trouble hearing. Obviously, being in an environment
where a lot of kids have mass is not good
if you're you know, if you have if you have autism, um,
it can be bad. But for most kids, those kids
just walk around the masks around their chins anyway. I mean,
that's really what you saw last year. So you don't
think there's going to be any COVID shot requirements, which
isn't going to regime There will be. There will be no, no, no,
Even in California they have dropped that. And and I
(25:46):
know that Eric Adams sort of hinted at this a
couple of weeks ago. You've heard nothing more. Okay in
a country, in a democratic country, you can't force something
that ninety eight percent of parents don't want. You just can't, okay.
So I'm sure you also saw the USC and the
UCLA hospital systems in LA, which I thought was really interesting.
(26:08):
Now they tried to walk back a bit, but they
effectively said, Hey, of all the people that are being
counted right now as COVID patients, only ten percent of
that number are actually hospitalized with COVID. The other ninety
percent are testing incidental for COVID. Do we get the
sense that that is the case for much of the nation,
(26:29):
And if so, how important were those doctors coming out
and making the statement that they did. I mean, I
ten percent seemed low to me. And what might be
driving at that, you know, at that particular hospital, I
don't know. They said they did test everyone upon an entry,
so they are catching a lot of incidental COVID. But yeah,
we've known for a long time the tons of COVID
(26:51):
is incidental rights the tons of COVID people don't know
they have or have very mild cases. And that was
true before omicrons, it's really true now. So there was
a paper out of Italy a couple of weeks ago
that was actually looking at the persistence of COVID anybodies
among children who'd been naturally infected, not vaccinated, and it
showed they have incredible persistence, which is really good. You
(27:14):
get it once as a child, you have anybodies for
a long time, you're essentially protected going forward for as
long as we've been able to test right now. But
what that also found there was a sort of incidental
number in the paper that's something like ninety eight percent
of the people in the study. These are young, healthy
Italian you know families had either no symptoms or mild
symptoms of COVID. So so that's always been true, and
(27:36):
with omicron even more true. The people who aren't getting
sicker now and appear to be getting reinfected are people
I hate to say this because it sounds considered true,
but it is true who have been vaccinated and boosted,
and that, you know, that's what we need to be
concerned about going forward, is that is that it looks
like there's increasing evidence that once you're vaccinated, you if
(27:58):
you get infected with macron, you wind up with anybodies
that are really antibodies to the original strain of covid,
which doesn't existing Moore, and so your immune response is suboptimal.
Right now. Now, that doesn't matter that much for most
people right now because amicron is so mild. But my
big concern, and I'm not saying this is going to
(28:19):
happen or is even likely to happen. My big concern
is that if a new variant comes and it is
more dangerous, people who've been vaccinated and boosted will wind
up in this position where their immune response is not
what it would be. Have you seen Alex By the way,
there's audio of Fauci very very early on when they
(28:40):
were trying to you know, get when they were before
even they were talking about warp speed, where he was saying,
sometimes vaccines, if you go too quickly, can actually have
that effect. Yes, which, now, if you've talked about that
the last two years, they've basically wanted to exile you
to Siberia. Yeah, it's and that's crazy because not talking
about it doesn't mean it's not a real risk. And
(29:02):
so again we aren't. This funny point, right, the pandemic
is basically over in many, many people's mind. I was
in Las Vegas over the weekend and you know, there
wasn't a person wearing a mask. I mean I exaggerated slightly,
but ninety five percent of people were not wearing masks.
No one was mentioning COVID. It was over, Okay, you know.
Then I come back to New York and yes there's
(29:24):
still there's still idiots and n ninety five. But most
people are done with this, and I think as they
should be, because because we've lived through it. But but
there is this sort of tail risk with you know,
with anybody depends dependent enhancement. There's this risk that the
vaccines are going to come back to bite us in
a terrible way. I don't think it's a high risk,
(29:44):
but I think it's real, real quick, Alex, I just wondering.
You know, they keep saying that high quality masks work.
This has been the switch recently because the mask thing
I completely just reject. I think this is horrible. They
need to stop doing this. Does the data actually support
that even N ninety five masks have done anything substantial
to reduce COVID spread? No, No, there's some evidence if
(30:06):
you wear a ninety five properly and you're in a
hospital and you wear it for you know, three hours,
and then you switch to a new one, and you
know you do it right, that there's some evidence that
those have some reduction of influenza or coronavirus, you know, infection.
But it's not very good evidence, and it's not a
very high rate. And nobody in the civilian world wears
(30:27):
them that way anyway. So, you know, the mask thing.
The reason they wanted masks was because masks scared people.
When the masks ended, the pandemic ended. And it's and
again you go, when you walk around a place where
people aren't wearing masks, you just forget that this thing
ever happened. So I do think that's why they're pushing masks. Yep,
we think so too. The midterm variant one way or another.
(30:50):
Everybody should go check out Alex's sub stack. And I
know he's working on a book too, so go check

outside the Supreme Court protesting. I actually know she wasn't arrested.
She was escorted from the area. But on video Clay
(32:40):
she is holding her hands voluntarily behind her as though
she is handcuffed, but she's not really handcuffed. Their imaginary cuffs.
What the heck is that she wants the attention and
unfortunately and You may have seen this ridiculous video that
went viral of the kids at Sesame Street and the
(33:03):
mascot not recognizing them enough in this era that we're in,
and they argued, by the way, Sesame Streets racist in
this era that we're in. AOC is aware that if
she pretend I really think this, if she pretends to
walk as if she has been handcuffed, there will be
some people who will grab videos of that. They will
(33:26):
grab pictures of that, and it will appear to a
certain segment of the population that otherwise gets all their
information from Instagram and five second video feeds TikTok that
she was arrested for protesting abortion like that will be
widely reported. Now. Ilhan Omar also did the exact same thing.
(33:46):
They wanted, probably to get arrested for the attention. So
when police were asking them to move, they pretended that
they were being handcuffed, as if they were actually being
restrained and being put into patty wagons, police cars, whatever
you want to say. It's crazy, by the way, your
description of AOC, but that she's an Instagram influencer who
(34:09):
happens to be a member of Congress, I do think
that is the most app description of her I've heard
so well done, mister Clay Travis. Thank you. And also
we talked before about this looming showdown between desantists and Newsome,
even if it's not a presidential showdown. The state that
is the most sort of anti lockdown, conservative pro freedom
(34:32):
state during COVID Florida, and the most insane lockdown no
eating or drinking outside aloud at restaurants, no paddleboarding in
the ocean, California. We actually have desantists taking a swing
at you. Better watch out, man heavy D knows how
to throw a punch. Here's Desantists talking about Newsom. This
is a guy that lock people down, that kept kids
(34:55):
out of school, denied people the right to earn a living,
wanted to force COVID as on people. What did I do?
I stood in the way of all that. I lifted
people up. We stood with students against the teachers union,
we stood with individuals against big government, and we made
sure that people had the choice about whether they wanted
to take this VAXX or not. They should not have
(35:17):
ever been in a position to lose their job. He
also attacked me for helping these special Olympic athletes. These
athletes were they have Down syndrome disabilities and they wanted
to compete in the Special Olympics on Orlando. Well, there's
an international bureaucracy affiliated with the group that imposed VACS
discrimination on these athletes. The athletes I met, their doctors
(35:39):
told them not to do it based on their condition.
So what did we do. We fought the bureaucracy. It's
gonna be great clay to watch this play out if
you missed where this all started. Newsom said the reason
he bought the ads in the state of Florida was
because Rod De Santis fought against a COVID shot requirement
(36:01):
for Special Olympics athletes. Of all the reasons that he
could have chosen to come after De Santis letting kids
of letting parents and kids of special needs make choices
that are rational for them for the Special Olympics so
that as many of them can compete as possible. That's
the battleground that that Rhonda Santis was attacked by. For Newsome,
(36:26):
he lives in the upside down. To use a Stranger
Things reference, he thinks that his state is the free one,
and I don't think the vast majority of the American
public believes that at all, and so this, to me
is a recipe for a disaster, but it might also
be an early preview what twenty twenty four might look like.
It's gonna be quite interesting. Folks, join us for it all. Sleet,
