Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Thursday edition Clay Travis buck
Sexton Show. Hope all of you are having a fantastic
start to maybe a little bit of an early weekend.
A lot of people off Monday for Columbus Day, or
as they like to call it in New York City,
Indigenous People's Day. Lots to get into today as we
(00:22):
break down the world and make it make sense to
everyone out there. Joe Biden has hit a new low
in his overall approval rating and a Quinnipiac pole, and
we're going to get into some of the data here.
It is wildly alarming. The most popular president according to
the election tally of eighty one million votes is now
(00:45):
down to only thirty eight percent approval, a remarkable collapse
as everything that Joe Biden has touched has fallen apart.
The Department of Justice is investigating parents as potential domestic terrorist.
This is absolute insanity. There is talk of a COVID
vaccine for five to eleven year old kids. My kids
(01:10):
will not be getting the COVID vaccine. I have a
seven year old and an eleven year old there's no
way that I'm going to allow that to happen. There
is some great data from Florida on schools that allowed
and required face masks and those that did not, and
what the overall COVID infection rate in those locations might be.
(01:31):
Bill Maher has gone anti woke, at least he's arguing
that he is anti woke. Dave Chappelle has a brand
new Netflix special that is triggering the woke community for
not being respectful enough of transgender people. In fact, they
are demanding that Netflix pull off their service his comedy special.
(01:53):
We will discuss that, but we begin with more COVID
authority arianism. We finished yesterday show talking about the city
of Los Angeles joining New York City and mandating COVID
vaccine passports. If you're going to a bar, you're going
to a restaurant, if you're going to your gym, you're
going to a sporting event. Basically, wherever you might be going,
(02:16):
they are going to require that you show a COVID
vaccine passport in order to enter those establishments. That's not enough,
by the way, It never is enough. As the continued
creep of authoritarianism extends across the country even as we
are now nineteen months into the COVID insanity and now
(02:38):
former CDC Planned Parenthood Director, I think Lena Wynn, she
is basically leading the charge on CNN in a regular basis.
I want you to listen to what she said about
needing vaccine passports for travel and according to her, according
to doctor Wynn, if you're not willing to get vaccinated,
will guess what you don't get to see your family's
(03:01):
play cut Three. Should the US be more like Canada?
Yes we should. We really need every tool at our disposal.
At this point, We've already tried incentives, we tried outreach
and education. We should continue doing that, but at this point,
vaccine requirements are the way to go. Vactually requirements and workplaces,
as we've seen, have been very effective. And I also
(03:22):
think that for domestic travel, for interstate travel, for planes, trains,
interstate buses, things that are within the jurisdiction of President
Biden at the federal government. I really do think that
it's time to put those requirements to especially with holidays coming.
It will be a powerful incentive for people to say, look,
you can stay unvaccinated if you want, but you're not
(03:42):
going to be able to travel to see your family.
This has been the game all on play. They have
been pretending that it was supposed to be we're going
to make the case to you, but we're going to
leave it up to you. And in reality, and I
believe this has always really been the plan. I think
anybody who understands who we're dealing with here, whether it's
lead to win the Biden administration, Joe Biden himself, certainly
(04:04):
doctor Fauci, these individuals have all had in the back
of their minds, we're going to ask you, we're going
to encourage, and then we're going to make you. That's
been the game all along. And when you look at
the incrementalism here, it never goes in the other direction. Really,
when they think there is the political momentum on their
(04:24):
side to push even more right, you never stop and say, Okay,
Democrats the left want further restrictions, but the data doesn't
really support that, so we're going to take it back
in the other direction. And I mean the most perfect
example of this would be remember how there was that
the whole Feurer out of Florida because they were like,
oh my gosh, Ronda Santis experiment in child sacrifice, because
(04:47):
they're not they're allowing They weren't even banning masks in schools.
They were allowing the opt out for children based on
parental decision making in schools to which lost that distinction too.
And now yeah, that they completely They pretended like you
weren't allowed to have your kid wearing a mask in school,
which was not the policy. And now we have actual
(05:08):
data to show. And they were worried about this, We
talked about it. They didn't want there to be a
control group. They didn't want to have schools with mask
mandates and schools without them. We have the data, and
who is going to be surprised to find out that
masks didn't make a damn bit of a difference for
kids in schools in any meaningful way. I mean, they
can't even really measure the distinction. And I'll give some
(05:30):
of that data. This is from the state of Florida.
New COVID cases for kids aged five to seventeen have
decreased seventy nine percent in the month of September. Now
this is a big deal, obviously, because everybody in Florida
is in school by the month of September, right all
the kids, so COVID cases overall among five to seventeen
(05:52):
year olds. Remember the teachers unions and Biden administration, they've
all been selling this fiction that when kids go back
to school, everyone is in danger, that teachers are on
the front line. Remember all those stories that CNN and
MSNBC ran about teachers doing their wills as they got
ready to go back into school and teach in all
that absurdity. In the fifty four Florida counties where school
(06:15):
districts have no masking policy or are following state law
by honoring the parental opt out rule, the COVID cases
declined seventy nine percent. In the thirteen school districts that
imposed forced masking, the cases declined seventy seven percent on average,
so virtually no difference statistically. In fact, the places where
(06:40):
Pete kids were not wearing masks, the number of cases
actually decline more, but seventy nine verses seventy seven. And
then you go to, Okay, well, let's look at the
overall positivity rate here. There's no difference at all either
in the overall positive vity rate for the districts there overall,
(07:04):
So not just for kids, but overall for adults as well.
So the idea again down sixty five percent where no
mask were required, down sixty seven percent where mask were required.
There's no difference. Masks do not work, they do not
have any impact. It is cosmetic theater. And to your point, Buck,
(07:27):
this is why Ron de Santis and Florida is so
threatening to the Fauciites, because they want there to be
an action taken that they can say, see, this is
why we beat COVID. But when you acknowledge that nothing
we do changes anything. And by the way, Florida is
rapidly approaching the lowest rate of COVID infection anywhere in
(07:49):
the country now as the delta variant has burned out
down there. I think only five states have a lower
COVID rate than Florida right now. Yet it's not being
talked about hardly anywhere other than a few places like this,
and Buck, this is what they were afraid of, because
it totally blows up distancing mask mandates, the idea that
(08:10):
you can't live in normal life. What do they know that,
for example, the United Kingdom does not know where they
do not require masks in schools. You have to wonder
at what point does it become clear that these are
at a minimum judgment calls that are being made. We
have been lied to for a long time now by
people who claim to be scientists, but they're really politicians
(08:31):
who once studied science in an academic setting. People like
you know, Fauci's like, oh, I'm a physician, right y.
Fauci hasn't seen give me a break. This is not
a guy who's on the front lines of dealing with
day to day medical realities of patients. And they've been
saying this stuff like there's no alternative point of view,
but in reality, there obviously is an alternative point of
(08:54):
view based upon the data and what has been happening here.
And when you see what's going on in floor, you
know what the answer they're giving now as to why
the Florida cases have dropped down so substantiaries, Oh, well,
Florida had such a bad surge over the summer that
it's like, well everybody, I guarantee you they're not going
to be saying everybody got sick. Who is going to
get sick if the virus starts to spread again in
(09:17):
the winter time, And they're certainly not focusing in as
much on states like Massachusetts Vermont that are in the
midst of a big COVID case serge right now, they're
certainly not taking any time to step back and say,
hold on a second, how can we have so many
people vaccinated and so many people natural immunity at this
point and some states are still setting records. They don't
(09:39):
have answers to these things other than I mean when
doctor Lena Wynn to go back to that, and she
was the head of Planned Parent or the president of
Planned Parent, which is shocking and tells you all you
need to know about her moral character. But when she
says something like we need to keep people away from
their families over the holidays if they're unvaccinated, you have
to wonder what would she not be willing to go
(10:01):
along with it or to mandate for people. I mean,
if a CNN anchor brought her on and said, you know,
I think we should gather up all the unvaccinated and
just like make them all go to one place in
the middle of the woods until they're willing to get
a shot for public safety, would she say no to that.
I'm not sure she would. It's a great question that
you're pointing out which is these zealots on the far
(10:22):
end of lockdowns and restrictions and masking and all of
these things. What is something that could be suggested that
they would say, you know what, that's too much. I
don't remember them. I don't remember a person like doctor
Wynne ever saying no, this is too much. By the way, buck,
most recent data from Florida, Okay, Florida has the down
(10:42):
fifty five percent the number of people who have COVID
Right Only Louisiana, Hawaii, California, and Connecticut have a lower
current rate of COVID in the entire country than Florida.
I'm looking at the most recent New York Times by
state data and there's almost an indistinguishable difference the cases
(11:06):
per one hundred thousand. Florida has nineteen, Louisiana has eighteen,
Hawaii seventeen, California seventeen. So Florida is about to be
the least COVID infected state in the entire country. How
many people listening right now have seen that story told
in the media. And why is it that whenever there
(11:29):
is any discussion of Florida, I mean, I just saw something,
it's always an attack At CNN or MSNBC or the
New York Times somehow on Ron Descantis, even if they
have to entirely fabricate it, because it just goes to
show you instead of looking at Florida as an experiment
that even the Fauciites and the Democrats could learn from, right,
they should be looking at this saying how does this go?
(11:52):
How is this actually playing out? And maybe we should
adjust based upon the reality of someone taking a different approach.
You often bring up federal and this is a version
of looking at federalism as an opportunity for a better
Opporatories are supposed to be for a better way forward
with COVID, and instead what they do is they look
at Florida. They ignore anything that does not fit their
(12:14):
narrative and even go beyond that to fabricate attacked narratives
about Ron DeSantis personally because he's a political threat to them.
Because their ultimate goal gear is more than anything else,
to retain power. Right, they figure that they'll do a
better job with COVID no matter what, as long as
they're in power. The data be damned, and that is
(12:34):
I think their approach. It continues to be their approach.
But we got more on this, including from the vaccination
that we're going to see kids forced to get some
fire in a lot of places. We'll talk about this,
I mean, the former FDA commissioner weighing in on it.
But you know we love are my pillows, that's for sure.
I've got two on my bed right now. I've got
the Geeza dreamsheets, towel sets, slippers, robes, mattress toppers. They've
(12:56):
got incredible products at my Pillow and Mike Lindell wants

bed is outfitted by my pillow stuff Clay his family.
They've got the same kind of products. They love them too.
And by the way, the Geza Dream Sheets, Clay, these
are the best sheets I've ever owned. I got three
pairs of them now. They're fantastic. I'm going on the

(13:19):
of the worst things about staying in a hotel, as
many of you know, you don't have your comfortable bed,
you don't have the same sheets. I've got the Giza
dreamsheets at home. The hotel sheets nowhere near as good.

we told you about this is true. We knew it
before it happened. We knew what was going to happen
before because we know who these people are. From the
DNA of America's anchorman Clay Travis and Buck Sexton inspired
by Rush on the EIB network. What policy would be
(14:28):
too crazy for the lockdowners? Where will Fauciites draw the line?
I think those are important questions asked, He says, welcome
back to clan Buck show. We're just talking about doctor
Lena when formerly of Chief of planned parenthood and now
a frequent guest on CNN, one of the Blue check
brigade that goes on TV to tell you that you
(14:50):
have no individual rights, really, that it's all subject to
the whims of the collective as vocalized and implemented by
Democrat activists in the federal government places like the CDC.
And we see people wearing masks outside still as a
show of political allegiance. We're told a mask up between
bites on airplanes. There's a lot of stupidity out there.
(15:12):
It's very obvious. You see it, you know it, you're
aware of it, and yet they act like you're the
crazy one. Well, I asked you what would be a
little too extreme. There are schools I know people who
are in grad school right now, law school, business school,
and they say that the campuses are requiring not only
vaccination but weekly testing. Well, what about the rest of us.
(15:36):
We're a country with over sixty percent now vaccination for adults.
We'll talk. Clay is going to lead us into discussion
a moment here about how they're coming for your kids
with the shots. Get ready for it, not everywhere, but
a lot of places. Or they're going to say you
can't be in school. That's happening. We told you that
was going to happen weeks ago. But now we also
have the test and trace mentality coming back, right, we
(16:00):
can find who has all the cases. Here is CNN's
favorite Blue Check doc on TV telling everybody that every
American should get tested how frequently? Well, here you go.
If we have frequent testing that's widespread, combined also with
vaccination and with early treatment, that is how we can
get COVID under control and turn it from the potential
(16:22):
of a deadly disease into something that actually is manageable.
But we really need skilled of testing. So I commend
the Biden administration for the step, But what they really
what I really want to see them do, is the same.
We're going to put as much effort into testing as
we did around vaccines, so that every American is going
to be able to get tested at least twice a week,
and those tests will be free. Twice a week. Clay,
(16:44):
you and I who have already had cover, We're gonna
get tested twice a week and the tests are going
to be free. No, they're not. Taxpayers are going to
pay for them. I can't stop. I'm so tired of
people telling us that anything the government provides is free.
It's never free. Every we're all paying for it. You
just don't recognize. I want to get into this too,
(17:06):
this inflation craziness, Buck. I mean, Lena Wynn is obviously
an imbecile, but it's reflective of a fundamental misunderstanding of
how economics work. There's a story out there, Buck, that
inflation which is so bad right now, five percent, it's
adding one hundred and seventy five dollars a month in
cost to the average American household. So Biden keeps talking
(17:28):
about how he's not going to have any taxes that
he puts on people. That's nearly two grand roughly that
every American family is getting taken out of their pocket
just based on his broken economic policies. And when you're
telling everybody out there, oh, first of all, the testing
is unnecessary twice a week for everybody for a virus
that has a ninety nine point eight percent survival rate,
(17:49):
I mean, it's crazy, but it's even wilder Buck, to
think about that. You keep at saying like, oh, the
vaccine is free, the testing is free. No, we're paying
for it, and our grandkids are going to be paying
for it thanks to the billions of dollars in extra
costs that we've taken on in the meantime. Imagine being
a guy or a woman working for Verizon T Mobile
AT and T that has to explain to their boss
why pure Talk cellulars gaining hundreds of thousands of new customers.
(18:13):
These are people like you listening to us, who have
said goodbye to their overpriced cell phone plans and switch
to pure Talk. Pure Talk exact same five G network,
using the exact same towers as one of those big carriers,
but for a lot less money. My family is on
pure Talk. You can be as well. Unlimited talk, text
and six gigs of data on pure Talks five G
(18:35):
network for just thirty dollars a month. That can save
you eight hundred dollars a year, which right now, given
how much cost is going up, inflation and all the
other craziness in the economy, why not save money as
much as you can. You get to keep the same number,
same phone, new simcard. It's easy. All you have to
do is sign up today. How do you do it?
(18:57):
Take your phones right now? Thirty day risk for guarantee
dal pound two fifty say Pure Talk you get fifty
percent off your first month pound two five zero say
Pure Talk joined the Travis family and save a bunch
of money today. Buck Sexton Fundy EIMB Network, Welcome back

We want to make October we're the new best month ever.
Get a little bit better, a little bit bigger every
single month. That's a goal, and we appreciate all of
you who are helping us do that. Let't even come
(20:06):
in New York. By the way, because I'm working out
a whole Clay Travis plan here where you know, you
come hang out here and we'll find you. You know,
either places with the outdoor dining and like they have
a little stove or something set up. You're a little heater,
or you know, I got extra sweaters. You know, well,
you can hang out here. It's funny. I was texting
with some people in La, friends that I'm going to
(20:28):
meet up with because I get out to LA on
Sunday from the Texas A and M Alabama game. I'm
flying from Texas out to LA and I was like, Hey,
there's no vaccine mandate there, right, I'm gonna be able
to go to any restaurant I want to. I'm gonna
be able to go to any bar, have a beer,
meet up with you. Guys are like, oh yeah, no issues,
And there hasn't really been to talk about the vaccine
(20:48):
mandate lately. Next day, the next day, the vaccine mandate
came out and I was scrolling through. As soon as
I hit my solid story that news alert come through.
I was like, oh man, when does it go into effect?
Because the mask mandate. If you remember Buck, we were
doing the show the last time I was in La
the mask bandate went into effect. Literally I landed in
Las Vegas and it went into effect three hours later.
(21:10):
It went into effect the day that I landed in
La too. I start to feel like Clay you know
that old that show Person of Interest where they have
this for super surveillance. It's like Fauci sitting in a
room at the CDC and he's like Dan's Travis. He's
going to the West coast, lock it down, lock it down,
you know, like just to sort of keep you on
your toes because they know. By the way our names
(21:31):
pop up as people who have been really the anti Faucia,
it's from the very beginning, there's not that many of us.
Now here's me, our buddy Jesse Kelly, who now you're
gonna be seeing the Texas A and M game. I mean,
I'm sure of leaving a bunch of folks out. But
there were a lot of people, a lot of conservatives
in the early days. We're like, oh, I trust doctor Fauci.
I was like, no, I do not know. And it's
(21:51):
only got And by the way, Washington Post Hugh Hewitt
not only question Fauci about whether he should step down
on his show, did you see he wrote an op
ed that the Washington Post actually ran I think it was.
He's a columnist there thing today. He's a columnist, so
he has a regularly he has a regular thing there. Well,
he said it's time for Faucci to step down, and
they actually ran it I know, but I wish if
I can, and and with with all due respect to Hugh,
(22:14):
whom I don't I actually he's one of the rare
people in our business who I don't personally know, but
he I it was good that he drilled down on
that question. And it's good that he got found enough
Fauci and him a friends. So that's also because he
won't come on this show. We would be respect I
give my word on air, we would ask questions. I
would not I would not be grumpy, I would not
overtalk him. I would ask questions and allow him to
(22:37):
answer um And I know you would do the same,
and he wouldn't come up. But I just wish that
that Hugh had pushed him a little bit on some
of the specifics of the like the absurd policies now
and get him to, you know, to drill because it's
so rare to have a conservative having have an opportunity
because here's the problem. And Faucci actually said this in
(22:58):
the interview. Okay, I go, you're gonna have Rashell will
Lenski and of Evec Murphy, and you know, I guess
Lena Wynch she's not in government. But over those are
the voices that are just gonna Fauci is um is
a belief system. It's not just about Fauci. The one
thing I take credit in is take credit or take
(23:18):
some form of happiness in. I guess is that he
had to step back from the Christmas commentary. And I
wonder we're gonna talk a little bit later in the
show about the Biden thirty eight percent approval rate, and Buck,
I'm gonna hit you because I don't think you've seen
drilled down and looked at some of these questions, like
the thirty eight percent approval is what's getting all the attention,
(23:38):
but they break it down by ethnic group, by age,
and a bunch of different questions, and some of these
data points have to be terrifying to the Biden White
I never like, I hate whenever we on the right
start to get a little a little complace and like
ha ha, like, look at how bad the other side
is doing everything else, because I think we're approaching clay
For Biden, it can't get much worse in terms of
(24:01):
because there are people who it doesn't matter. I mean,
there are people for whom you know, China could invade
and take over the like three states on the West
Coast tomorrow and they'd be like, hey, Biden's a peaceful guy,
didn't you know. I mean, they just it doesn't matter,
like they would be with him no matter what. But
I worry remember remember Trump in twenty nineteen, before before
the pandemic hit, undefeatable, right, I mean, you know, impossible
(24:24):
to be beaten, and then you have the pandemic hit.
I worry that with Biden things these and we should
get into this data for everybody. But it's so bad
now people think in terms of momentum and so all.
You know, can it really I guess my thinking is,
can it really continue to be so bad for the
Biden administration going into the election year when the mid
(24:45):
terms obviously you will have a huge impact on the
on the last two years of Biden's term. I worry
that there's nowhere to go butt up. It's basically what
I'm saying. I mean that he's hit rock Bob. Yes,
it's it's the equivalent of coming out and being down
twenty eight nothing at the end of the first It
just comes from I don't want us to be complacent
about it, like oh Biden the midterms. There are so
many lies they will tell folks. They have such a
(25:07):
machinery and apparatus of dishonesty at their disposal. And you
know it's early, so I don't know. I just want
us to keep the pressure on Clay. That's all. Keep
the pressure on, no doubt. And by the way, the
pressure is going to be ratcheted up. It seems like
in a big way on a lot of parents out there.
I got a call over the weekend Buck from a
buddy of mine who has several kids in California, and
(25:29):
he said the COVID vaccine mandate that Governor Knewsom had
announced was the tipping point for he and his family.
They just said, hey, we're not we don't trust things
in California anymore. He was calling me because they're trying
to decide whether they're going to move to Nashville, and
he was asking me about neighborhood schooling, all these different
things that frankly, I've taken a lot of these calls,
and I guarantee you if people live in Florida or Texas,
(25:50):
they've taken a lot of calls, and they have friends
and family on the coast. I mean, this is a
call that's become very common. I can also say this,
I'm somebody who's I'm a red stead guy living in
a blue state and born and raised in a blue
state all of but I have a brother that's already
moved to Florida, another brother that's trying to be more
permanent in Florida, and my family talks about moving down
there too, my parents and everybody. I have yet to
(26:13):
speak to a person who is right of center and
their beliefs who has left New York or California. Those
are the two states that really, you know, people have
just had enough for a red state and regretted it.
Not a single person that I've talked to, not one,
which is pretty remarkable. I will say that that's I
figured there's some people like, oh, you know, the lattees
(26:34):
aren't frothy enough here or something, or you know, I
missed million foods a good Yeah, I missed the takeout
options from the East Village or something. But every I
know's moved to ten in the states are Tennessee, Texas, Florida.
I know a couple of people that are are now
in Georgia actually, which is not red, but you know
it's red, or certainly the New Yorker, and well, we
(26:57):
need more red people moving. We need more I was
gonna we need more Red people to move to Georgia.
Actually it would be a great thing. Um, So that's
what That's one thing for me is I just feel
like everyone that I've talked to so far who has
made that decision has felt good about it. And the
red state people are very welcoming of the blue state
refugees who know how to vote. Yes, that's the key.
We don't want you moving here and trying to change
(27:20):
hour like California, my Texas, don't, don't New York, my Tennessee.
You know, this is the this is the real we
don't want. What we don't want is you to become
like Locust, where you've destroyed the state that you used
to live in and now you spread two hours. Let's
listen to this. By the way, Buck, this is doctor
Gottlie but this morning talking about kids vaccinated potentially five
(27:40):
to eleven years old, and then we'll talk about it
some I bet this conversational even spoil spill over because
I bet some of you out there want to react
to it. Uh, here is what was said? Or should
we save it? Let's save it, Buck, We'll save it
in play. Let's come back to them. We'll let people
react to it. At the top of the of the
second hour of the show, they're they're going to force
your kids who are six years old to get shots
(28:03):
in Blue States, Yes, for a virus that they have
an actual one in a million chance of dying from that.
That is the policy of the Fauchiites. Just get ready
for it. Look imagine the responsibility that comes with taking
some of your family's most precious possessions and performing a
little magic with them. The possessions in this case are
your family's memories on videotape, film, and old pictures. These
(28:24):
are old media formats impossible to see anymore because you
don't have the equipment. The magic in this case is
digitally transferring them so you can see and share them again.
Legacy Box has all that gear and they digitally transfer
them onto DVDs or computer thumb drives. Legacybox dot com
is their website. They've been digitally transferring family members for
(28:44):
family memories for years now and have helped one point
two million families do this up to date. Legacy Box
makes this really easy for you. They ship you a
box large enough for you to put the videotaped pictures
and movie reels in. You ship it back using overnight
delivery to keep track of those valuable items, and a
couple of weeks time you get shiny new DVDs back
(29:05):
ready to watch. The whole process starts online at legacybox
dot com slash buck. Use that website to get forty
percent off the plan you choose. Legacy box dot com
slash buck is that web address. It's as simple as this.
You and your family are gonna love rediscovering what is
on those videotapes. Legacybox dot com slash buck. You'll get
(29:27):
forty percent off, still making the complex understandable. Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton break it down on the EIB Network.
Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
(29:48):
The lines are open. This is bucking NYC. By the way,
Clay out in Nashville. He's gonna be bouncing around the country,
so some of you probably get a chance to see
the man yourself, depending on where he's go But next
one is Atlanta, right Clay, I'm gonna so the next
eight days I'll be in Houston, I'll be in College Station, LA,
and then Atlanta and then Athens. Here we go bouncing around.
(30:12):
Eight hundred two eight two, By the way, have fun
with Jesse, takes him. Be prepared what he takes selfies,
you might get cut out of it because you're taking
a selfie with a jolly green giant. So I've not
ever met Jesse, So you've never met Jesse Kelly. I've
known Jesse for years. He's a great a great dude
and is in a fantastic time slot for Premiere Radio Networks,
the six to nine six to nine Times from Dad.
(30:32):
He took over a highly successful already showed up. Apparently
that audience was growing very rapidly in recent years and
uh and led to good things and Jesse's they're in
good hands with mister Jesse Kelly. Eight hundred two A
two two eight eight two On the phone lines. We
had said we would get to uh doctor Scott Gottlieb,
who was on Face the Nation about putting needles in
(30:54):
kids arms. Here, I mean, this is what we're really talking.
Let's just be all very blunt and honest about the
situation children, as we've discussed so many times, as Clay said,
at risk of a greater risk of drowning, greater risk
of being killed in a car accident on the way
to being murdered, being murdered. I mean, there's all these things,
(31:14):
and you don't sit around terrified about the prospect of
you know, your child, uh, you know, falling down the stairs,
which is probably also more dangerous. The point here being
they don't care. They don't care. They want to go
forward with all of this stuff. And here is doctor
Gottlieb talking about how, oh yeah, I don't worry the
vaccine for kids that's coming to the CEO of Fizer,
(31:35):
the company you started on the board of, affirm today
that that data on vaccinations for five to eleven year
olds will be going to the FDA within a matter
of days. Is that confirming your schedule of vaccines by Halloween? Yeah,
I think that's still possible. FDA has said that the
review is going to be a matter of weeks, not months.
I interpret that to mean potentially a four week review,
(31:56):
maybe a six week review. So I think on the
low end it could take four weeks and that could
give you a vaccine by Halloween. If it slips a little,
could be mid November. And I just want to put
there so much your Clay and you have kids, and
we want to invite people, by the way, you have children.
Clay and I were talking about this in the commercial,
to please call in. What are you gonna do if
your school district, because they're doing it in California, they're
(32:17):
Mandanigan in California. We got our KiB listeners, We got
our listeners in Sacramento and in San Diego. So what
are you gonna do? We want to know. But just
let's just start with this, Clay, a four week review period,
we're supposed to feel really good about that. How many
months ago was it that we were told this vaccine
was going to be durable, you'd be done and you'd
(32:38):
be ninety to ninety five percent protected when you got
the shot, and you need a booster potation, But four
or five months ago, Yeah, that's that was the extent
of vaccine knowledge a few months ago. Now they're saying, oh,
don't worry, we're gonna review how it affects your six
year old for at least a few weeks. Man, and
(32:58):
we got it. I'm sorry. I think people are allowed
to think, what the heck is going on here? Yeah?
And also, when are we going to start to raise
issues here? Scott Gottlieb sits on the board of fiser
IF I and again this is big. I want people
to listen carefully to this conflicts matter. We know that
bias in particular in medicine has been proven even for
(33:20):
doctors to be influential when it comes to which medicines
they request based on all of the drug reps. If
you remember the drug rep business, they had mostly male doctors.
They would send in twenty five year old, smoking hot
girls to tell them why. I mean, this was the
business I was. I remember going on a few dates
(33:42):
with a few to say, I bet you dated some
of those good looking drug reps in New York. It's
a great job to get. If you're a twenty five
twenty six year old recent college graduate. You would go
talk to all of the different doctors. The drug rep
would say, Hey, you need to be prescribing X drug
instead of why drug, and let me give you the
(34:02):
case for why that is. And they found that those
were you know, there wasn't coincidence that they were making
the choice to do that. They knew that it was
an effective way to move their product, to sell it
through doctors and increase the amount that they were prescribing it.
The reason why I bring that up is Buck Scott Gottlieb,
who was being interviewed there sits on the board of Fiser.
(34:24):
Do you think that Fiser might have a really compelling
reason to want as many people as vaccinated as possible? Buck,
I saw that we have created new billionaires. I saw
the study coming out of the most wealthy people in
the past. The two Mogena founders are on the top,
like the rich, among the richest hundred or two hundred
(34:44):
people in the world. Now that's right, and their drug
is being required out there. I would just say this
in general, be skeptical of multi billion dollar corporations that
have minted billionaires who have have a monopoly or a
license to require their product to be used and no liability.
(35:06):
They have no liability. The government has said you must
get this shot. You have no choice, and if it
messes you up, it did. Just this is a fact.
I know ever wants to jump on this. The J
and J shot just just caused a woman to die
who is otherwise young and healthy in Washington State. That
is a fact that is now agreed upon, even by
(35:26):
the Washington Health Bureau whatever it's called. And now we
have a moment here, Claire. We have to look at
all this and say, hold on a second. They're gonna
they're gonna mandate this vaccine in schools for obviously what Clay.
They know that there's not going to be enough voluntary
compliance to get a large to get all the kids.
You're a parent and you want your kid to be vaccinated.
(35:48):
I don't think it makes sense based on the risk
profile for COVID. But but you have the right to
make that, just just like you have. You know, you
have the right to over medicate your kids for eighty
four key or do you all kind of things. There's
a lot of choices the parents get to make right
or wrong. Their parents they're allowed to make them. And
you know, I sit here and I see the trajectory
(36:09):
you see where this is going, and you know California
is mandated at the state level. Does anyone think that,
you know, HOCl the new governor of New York State,
for example, is going to allow California to have the
mantle of the most protective of children from COVID. Of
course not. It's like an arms race of fauciism all
the time for these Democrats who can be on the
(36:30):
forefront of being the most extreme in what they're willing
to do. They're gonna say, your kid has to get
the shot. By the way, think about what's gonna happen, Clay,
when people start to feel like their kids are having
you know, if their kids have pretty nasty science aft
to this, your kids aren't at risk from COVID. No,
I'm going to hit that data again in the second
part of the second hour. But one two two two
(36:51):
eight eight two parents only calls here, what are you
gonna do if your kids have the vaccine mandated as
is likely to happen in states other than California. It's
a big battle that's coming, Buck, It really is well
coming too. That coming up here. Plus we've got Gordon Chang,
friend of mine, a fantastic analyst on all things political
and national security in East Asia. He's going to talk
(37:13):
to us about China and Taiwan and the saber rattling there,
plus the big supply chain snarls that could mean that
you don't have the toys you want to buy for
your kids Christmas. That's coming up. You're listening to Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton fund the EIB Network
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Thursday edition Clay Travis buck
Sexton Show. Hope all of you are having a fantastic
start to maybe a little bit of an early weekend.
A lot of people off Monday for Columbus Day, or
as they like to call it in New York City,
Indigenous People's Day. Lots to get into today as we
(00:22):
break down the world and make it make sense to
everyone out there. Joe Biden has hit a new low
in his overall approval rating and a Quinnipiac pole, and
we're going to get into some of the data here.
It is wildly alarming. The most popular president according to
the election tally of eighty one million votes is now
(00:45):
down to only thirty eight percent approval, a remarkable collapse
as everything that Joe Biden has touched has fallen apart.
The Department of Justice is investigating parents as potential domestic terrorist.
This is absolute insanity. There is talk of a COVID
vaccine for five to eleven year old kids. My kids
(01:10):
will not be getting the COVID vaccine. I have a
seven year old and an eleven year old there's no
way that I'm going to allow that to happen. There
is some great data from Florida on schools that allowed
and required face masks and those that did not, and
what the overall COVID infection rate in those locations might be.
(01:31):
Bill Maher has gone anti woke, at least he's arguing
that he is anti woke. Dave Chappelle has a brand
new Netflix special that is triggering the woke community for
not being respectful enough of transgender people. In fact, they
are demanding that Netflix pull off their service his comedy special.
(01:53):
We will discuss that, but we begin with more COVID
authority arianism. We finished yesterday show talking about the city
of Los Angeles joining New York City and mandating COVID
vaccine passports. If you're going to a bar, you're going
to a restaurant, if you're going to your gym, you're
going to a sporting event. Basically, wherever you might be going,
(02:16):
they are going to require that you show a COVID
vaccine passport in order to enter those establishments. That's not enough,
by the way, It never is enough. As the continued
creep of authoritarianism extends across the country even as we
are now nineteen months into the COVID insanity and now
(02:38):
former CDC Planned Parenthood Director, I think Lena Wynn, she
is basically leading the charge on CNN in a regular basis.
I want you to listen to what she said about
needing vaccine passports for travel and according to her, according
to doctor Wynn, if you're not willing to get vaccinated,
will guess what you don't get to see your family's
(03:01):
play cut Three. Should the US be more like Canada?
Yes we should. We really need every tool at our disposal.
At this point, We've already tried incentives, we tried outreach
and education. We should continue doing that, but at this point,
vaccine requirements are the way to go. Vactually requirements and workplaces,
as we've seen, have been very effective. And I also
(03:22):
think that for domestic travel, for interstate travel, for planes, trains,
interstate buses, things that are within the jurisdiction of President
Biden at the federal government. I really do think that
it's time to put those requirements to especially with holidays coming.
It will be a powerful incentive for people to say, look,
you can stay unvaccinated if you want, but you're not
(03:42):
going to be able to travel to see your family.
This has been the game all on play. They have
been pretending that it was supposed to be we're going
to make the case to you, but we're going to
leave it up to you. And in reality, and I
believe this has always really been the plan. I think
anybody who understands who we're dealing with here, whether it's
lead to win the Biden administration, Joe Biden himself, certainly
(04:04):
doctor Fauci, these individuals have all had in the back
of their minds, we're going to ask you, we're going
to encourage, and then we're going to make you. That's
been the game all along. And when you look at
the incrementalism here, it never goes in the other direction. Really,
when they think there is the political momentum on their
(04:24):
side to push even more right, you never stop and say, Okay,
Democrats the left want further restrictions, but the data doesn't
really support that, so we're going to take it back
in the other direction. And I mean the most perfect
example of this would be remember how there was that
the whole Feurer out of Florida because they were like,
oh my gosh, Ronda Santis experiment in child sacrifice, because
(04:47):
they're not they're allowing They weren't even banning masks in schools.
They were allowing the opt out for children based on
parental decision making in schools to which lost that distinction too.
And now yeah, that they completely They pretended like you
weren't allowed to have your kid wearing a mask in school,
which was not the policy. And now we have actual
(05:08):
data to show. And they were worried about this, We
talked about it. They didn't want there to be a
control group. They didn't want to have schools with mask
mandates and schools without them. We have the data, and
who is going to be surprised to find out that
masks didn't make a damn bit of a difference for
kids in schools in any meaningful way. I mean, they
can't even really measure the distinction. And I'll give some
(05:30):
of that data. This is from the state of Florida.
New COVID cases for kids aged five to seventeen have
decreased seventy nine percent in the month of September. Now
this is a big deal, obviously, because everybody in Florida
is in school by the month of September, right all
the kids, so COVID cases overall among five to seventeen
(05:52):
year olds. Remember the teachers unions and Biden administration, they've
all been selling this fiction that when kids go back
to school, everyone is in danger, that teachers are on
the front line. Remember all those stories that CNN and
MSNBC ran about teachers doing their wills as they got
ready to go back into school and teach in all
that absurdity. In the fifty four Florida counties where school
(06:15):
districts have no masking policy or are following state law
by honoring the parental opt out rule, the COVID cases
declined seventy nine percent. In the thirteen school districts that
imposed forced masking, the cases declined seventy seven percent on average,
so virtually no difference statistically. In fact, the places where
(06:40):
Pete kids were not wearing masks, the number of cases
actually decline more, but seventy nine verses seventy seven. And
then you go to, Okay, well, let's look at the
overall positivity rate here. There's no difference at all either
in the overall positive vity rate for the districts there overall,
(07:04):
So not just for kids, but overall for adults as well.
So the idea again down sixty five percent where no
mask were required, down sixty seven percent where mask were required.
There's no difference. Masks do not work, they do not
have any impact. It is cosmetic theater. And to your point, Buck,
(07:27):
this is why Ron de Santis and Florida is so
threatening to the Fauciites, because they want there to be
an action taken that they can say, see, this is
why we beat COVID. But when you acknowledge that nothing
we do changes anything. And by the way, Florida is
rapidly approaching the lowest rate of COVID infection anywhere in
(07:49):
the country now as the delta variant has burned out
down there. I think only five states have a lower
COVID rate than Florida right now. Yet it's not being
talked about hardly anywhere other than a few places like this,
and Buck, this is what they were afraid of, because
it totally blows up distancing mask mandates, the idea that
(08:10):
you can't live in normal life. What do they know that,
for example, the United Kingdom does not know where they
do not require masks in schools. You have to wonder
at what point does it become clear that these are
at a minimum judgment calls that are being made. We
have been lied to for a long time now by
people who claim to be scientists, but they're really politicians
(08:31):
who once studied science in an academic setting. People like
you know, Fauci's like, oh, I'm a physician, right y.
Fauci hasn't seen give me a break. This is not
a guy who's on the front lines of dealing with
day to day medical realities of patients. And they've been
saying this stuff like there's no alternative point of view,
but in reality, there obviously is an alternative point of
(08:54):
view based upon the data and what has been happening here.
And when you see what's going on in floor, you
know what the answer they're giving now as to why
the Florida cases have dropped down so substantiaries, Oh, well,
Florida had such a bad surge over the summer that
it's like, well everybody, I guarantee you they're not going
to be saying everybody got sick. Who is going to
get sick if the virus starts to spread again in
(09:17):
the winter time, And they're certainly not focusing in as
much on states like Massachusetts Vermont that are in the
midst of a big COVID case serge right now, they're
certainly not taking any time to step back and say,
hold on a second, how can we have so many
people vaccinated and so many people natural immunity at this
point and some states are still setting records. They don't
(09:39):
have answers to these things other than I mean when
doctor Lena Wynn to go back to that, and she
was the head of Planned Parent or the president of
Planned Parent, which is shocking and tells you all you
need to know about her moral character. But when she
says something like we need to keep people away from
their families over the holidays if they're unvaccinated, you have
to wonder what would she not be willing to go
(10:01):
along with it or to mandate for people. I mean,
if a CNN anchor brought her on and said, you know,
I think we should gather up all the unvaccinated and
just like make them all go to one place in
the middle of the woods until they're willing to get
a shot for public safety, would she say no to that.
I'm not sure she would. It's a great question that
you're pointing out which is these zealots on the far
(10:22):
end of lockdowns and restrictions and masking and all of
these things. What is something that could be suggested that
they would say, you know what, that's too much. I
don't remember them. I don't remember a person like doctor
Wynne ever saying no, this is too much. By the way, buck,
most recent data from Florida, Okay, Florida has the down
(10:42):
fifty five percent the number of people who have COVID
Right Only Louisiana, Hawaii, California, and Connecticut have a lower
current rate of COVID in the entire country than Florida.
I'm looking at the most recent New York Times by
state data and there's almost an indistinguishable difference the cases
(11:06):
per one hundred thousand. Florida has nineteen, Louisiana has eighteen,
Hawaii seventeen, California seventeen. So Florida is about to be
the least COVID infected state in the entire country. How
many people listening right now have seen that story told
in the media. And why is it that whenever there
(11:29):
is any discussion of Florida, I mean, I just saw something,
it's always an attack At CNN or MSNBC or the
New York Times somehow on Ron Descantis, even if they
have to entirely fabricate it, because it just goes to
show you instead of looking at Florida as an experiment
that even the Fauciites and the Democrats could learn from, right,
they should be looking at this saying how does this go?
(11:52):
How is this actually playing out? And maybe we should
adjust based upon the reality of someone taking a different approach.
You often bring up federal and this is a version
of looking at federalism as an opportunity for a better
Opporatories are supposed to be for a better way forward
with COVID, and instead what they do is they look
at Florida. They ignore anything that does not fit their
(12:14):
narrative and even go beyond that to fabricate attacked narratives
about Ron DeSantis personally because he's a political threat to them.
Because their ultimate goal gear is more than anything else,
to retain power. Right, they figure that they'll do a
better job with COVID no matter what, as long as
they're in power. The data be damned, and that is
(12:34):
I think their approach. It continues to be their approach.
But we got more on this, including from the vaccination
that we're going to see kids forced to get some
fire in a lot of places. We'll talk about this,
I mean, the former FDA commissioner weighing in on it.
But you know we love are my pillows, that's for sure.
I've got two on my bed right now. I've got
the Geeza dreamsheets, towel sets, slippers, robes, mattress toppers. They've
(12:56):
got incredible products at my Pillow and Mike Lindell wants

bed is outfitted by my pillow stuff Clay his family.
They've got the same kind of products. They love them too.
And by the way, the Geza Dream Sheets, Clay, these
are the best sheets I've ever owned. I got three
pairs of them now. They're fantastic. I'm going on the
road tomorrow for a little bit of time. And one
(13:19):
of the worst things about staying in a hotel, as
many of you know, you don't have your comfortable bed,
you don't have the same sheets. I've got the Giza
dreamsheets at home. The hotel sheets nowhere near as good.

we told you about this is true. We knew it
before it happened. We knew what was going to happen
before because we know who these people are. From the
DNA of America's anchorman Clay Travis and Buck Sexton inspired
by Rush on the EIB network. What policy would be
(14:28):
too crazy for the lockdowners? Where will Fauciites draw the line?
I think those are important questions asked, He says, welcome
back to clan Buck show. We're just talking about doctor
Lena when formerly of Chief of planned parenthood and now
a frequent guest on CNN, one of the Blue check
brigade that goes on TV to tell you that you
(14:50):
have no individual rights, really, that it's all subject to
the whims of the collective as vocalized and implemented by
Democrat activists in the federal government places like the CDC.
And we see people wearing masks outside still as a
show of political allegiance. We're told a mask up between
bites on airplanes. There's a lot of stupidity out there.
(15:12):
It's very obvious. You see it, you know it, you're
aware of it, and yet they act like you're the
crazy one. Well, I asked you what would be a
little too extreme. There are schools I know people who
are in grad school right now, law school, business school,
and they say that the campuses are requiring not only
vaccination but weekly testing. Well, what about the rest of us.
(15:36):
We're a country with over sixty percent now vaccination for adults.
We'll talk. Clay is going to lead us into discussion
a moment here about how they're coming for your kids
with the shots. Get ready for it, not everywhere, but
a lot of places. Or they're going to say you
can't be in school. That's happening. We told you that
was going to happen weeks ago. But now we also
have the test and trace mentality coming back, right, we
(16:00):
can find who has all the cases. Here is CNN's
favorite Blue Check doc on TV telling everybody that every
American should get tested how frequently? Well, here you go.
If we have frequent testing that's widespread, combined also with
vaccination and with early treatment, that is how we can
get COVID under control and turn it from the potential
(16:22):
of a deadly disease into something that actually is manageable.
But we really need skilled of testing. So I commend
the Biden administration for the step, But what they really
what I really want to see them do, is the same.
We're going to put as much effort into testing as
we did around vaccines, so that every American is going
to be able to get tested at least twice a week,
and those tests will be free. Twice a week. Clay,
(16:44):
you and I who have already had cover, We're gonna
get tested twice a week and the tests are going
to be free. No, they're not. Taxpayers are going to
pay for them. I can't stop. I'm so tired of
people telling us that anything the government provides is free.
It's never free. Every we're all paying for it. You
just don't recognize. I want to get into this too,
(17:06):
this inflation craziness, Buck. I mean, Lena Wynn is obviously
an imbecile, but it's reflective of a fundamental misunderstanding of
how economics work. There's a story out there, Buck, that
inflation which is so bad right now, five percent, it's
adding one hundred and seventy five dollars a month in
cost to the average American household. So Biden keeps talking
(17:28):
about how he's not going to have any taxes that
he puts on people. That's nearly two grand roughly that
every American family is getting taken out of their pocket
just based on his broken economic policies. And when you're
telling everybody out there, oh, first of all, the testing
is unnecessary twice a week for everybody for a virus
that has a ninety nine point eight percent survival rate,
(17:49):
I mean, it's crazy, but it's even wilder Buck, to
think about that. You keep at saying like, oh, the
vaccine is free, the testing is free. No, we're paying
for it, and our grandkids are going to be paying
for it thanks to the billions of dollars in extra
costs that we've taken on in the meantime. Imagine being
a guy or a woman working for Verizon T Mobile
AT and T that has to explain to their boss
why pure Talk cellulars gaining hundreds of thousands of new customers.
(18:13):
These are people like you listening to us, who have
said goodbye to their overpriced cell phone plans and switch

We want to make October we're the new best month ever.
Get a little bit better, a little bit bigger every
single month. That's a goal, and we appreciate all of
you who are helping us do that. Let't even come
(20:06):
in New York. By the way, because I'm working out
a whole Clay Travis plan here where you know, you
come hang out here and we'll find you. You know,
either places with the outdoor dining and like they have
a little stove or something set up. You're a little heater,
or you know, I got extra sweaters. You know, well,
you can hang out here. It's funny. I was texting
with some people in La, friends that I'm going to
(20:28):
meet up with because I get out to LA on
Sunday from the Texas A and M Alabama game. I'm
flying from Texas out to LA and I was like, Hey,
there's no vaccine mandate there, right, I'm gonna be able
to go to any restaurant I want to. I'm gonna
be able to go to any bar, have a beer,
meet up with you. Guys are like, oh yeah, no issues,
And there hasn't really been to talk about the vaccine
(20:48):
mandate lately. Next day, the next day, the vaccine mandate
came out and I was scrolling through. As soon as
I hit my solid story that news alert come through.
I was like, oh man, when does it go into effect?
Because the mask mandate. If you remember Buck, we were
doing the show the last time I was in La
the mask bandate went into effect. Literally I landed in
Las Vegas and it went into effect three hours later.
(21:10):
It went into effect the day that I landed in
La too. I start to feel like Clay you know
that old that show Person of Interest where they have
this for super surveillance. It's like Fauci sitting in a
room at the CDC and he's like Dan's Travis. He's
going to the West coast, lock it down, lock it down,
you know, like just to sort of keep you on
your toes because they know. By the way our names
(21:31):
pop up as people who have been really the anti Faucia,
it's from the very beginning, there's not that many of us.
Now here's me, our buddy Jesse Kelly, who now you're
gonna be seeing the Texas A and M game. I mean,
I'm sure of leaving a bunch of folks out. But
there were a lot of people, a lot of conservatives
in the early days. We're like, oh, I trust doctor Fauci.
I was like, no, I do not know. And it's
(21:51):
only got And by the way, Washington Post Hugh Hewitt
not only question Fauci about whether he should step down
on his show, did you see he wrote an op
ed that the Washington Post actually ran I think it was.
He's a columnist there thing today. He's a columnist, so
he has a regularly he has a regular thing there. Well,
he said it's time for Faucci to step down, and
they actually ran it I know, but I wish if
I can, and and with with all due respect to Hugh,
(22:14):
whom I don't I actually he's one of the rare
people in our business who I don't personally know, but
he I it was good that he drilled down on
that question. And it's good that he got found enough
Fauci and him a friends. So that's also because he
won't come on this show. We would be respect I
give my word on air, we would ask questions. I
would not I would not be grumpy, I would not
overtalk him. I would ask questions and allow him to
(22:37):
answer um And I know you would do the same,
and he wouldn't come up. But I just wish that
that Hugh had pushed him a little bit on some
of the specifics of the like the absurd policies now
and get him to, you know, to drill because it's
so rare to have a conservative having have an opportunity
because here's the problem. And Faucci actually said this in
(22:58):
the interview. Okay, I go, you're gonna have Rashell will
Lenski and of Evec Murphy, and you know, I guess
Lena Wynch she's not in government. But over those are
the voices that are just gonna Fauci is um is
a belief system. It's not just about Fauci. The one
thing I take credit in is take credit or take
(23:18):
some form of happiness in. I guess is that he
had to step back from the Christmas commentary. And I
wonder we're gonna talk a little bit later in the
show about the Biden thirty eight percent approval rate, and Buck,
I'm gonna hit you because I don't think you've seen
drilled down and looked at some of these questions, like
the thirty eight percent approval is what's getting all the attention,
(23:38):
but they break it down by ethnic group, by age,
and a bunch of different questions, and some of these
data points have to be terrifying to the Biden White
I never like, I hate whenever we on the right
start to get a little a little complace and like
ha ha, like, look at how bad the other side
is doing everything else, because I think we're approaching clay
For Biden, it can't get much worse in terms of
(24:01):
because there are people who it doesn't matter. I mean,
there are people for whom you know, China could invade
and take over the like three states on the West
Coast tomorrow and they'd be like, hey, Biden's a peaceful guy,
didn't you know. I mean, they just it doesn't matter,
like they would be with him no matter what. But
I worry remember remember Trump in twenty nineteen, before before
the pandemic hit, undefeatable, right, I mean, you know, impossible
(24:24):
to be beaten, and then you have the pandemic hit.
I worry that with Biden things these and we should
get into this data for everybody. But it's so bad
now people think in terms of momentum and so all.
You know, can it really I guess my thinking is,
can it really continue to be so bad for the
Biden administration going into the election year when the mid
(24:45):
terms obviously you will have a huge impact on the
on the last two years of Biden's term. I worry
that there's nowhere to go butt up. It's basically what
I'm saying. I mean that he's hit rock Bob. Yes,
it's it's the equivalent of coming out and being down
twenty eight nothing at the end of the first It
just comes from I don't want us to be complacent
about it, like oh Biden the midterms. There are so
many lies they will tell folks. They have such a
(25:07):
machinery and apparatus of dishonesty at their disposal. And you
know it's early, so I don't know. I just want
us to keep the pressure on Clay. That's all. Keep
the pressure on, no doubt. And by the way, the
pressure is going to be ratcheted up. It seems like
in a big way on a lot of parents out there.
I got a call over the weekend Buck from a
buddy of mine who has several kids in California, and
(25:29):
he said the COVID vaccine mandate that Governor Knewsom had
announced was the tipping point for he and his family.
They just said, hey, we're not we don't trust things
in California anymore. He was calling me because they're trying
to decide whether they're going to move to Nashville, and
he was asking me about neighborhood schooling, all these different
things that frankly, I've taken a lot of these calls,
and I guarantee you if people live in Florida or Texas,
(25:50):
they've taken a lot of calls, and they have friends
and family on the coast. I mean, this is a
call that's become very common. I can also say this,
I'm somebody who's I'm a red stead guy living in
a blue state and born and raised in a blue
state all of but I have a brother that's already
moved to Florida, another brother that's trying to be more
permanent in Florida, and my family talks about moving down
there too, my parents and everybody. I have yet to
(26:13):
speak to a person who is right of center and
their beliefs who has left New York or California. Those
are the two states that really, you know, people have
just had enough for a red state and regretted it.
Not a single person that I've talked to, not one,
which is pretty remarkable. I will say that that's I
figured there's some people like, oh, you know, the lattees
(26:34):
aren't frothy enough here or something, or you know, I
missed million foods a good Yeah, I missed the takeout
options from the East Village or something. But every I
know's moved to ten in the states are Tennessee, Texas, Florida.
I know a couple of people that are are now
in Georgia actually, which is not red, but you know
it's red, or certainly the New Yorker, and well, we
(26:57):
need more red people moving. We need more I was
gonna we need more Red people to move to Georgia.
Actually it would be a great thing. Um, So that's
what That's one thing for me is I just feel
like everyone that I've talked to so far who has
made that decision has felt good about it. And the
red state people are very welcoming of the blue state
refugees who know how to vote. Yes, that's the key.
We don't want you moving here and trying to change
(27:20):
hour like California, my Texas, don't, don't New York, my Tennessee.
You know, this is the this is the real we
don't want. What we don't want is you to become
like Locust, where you've destroyed the state that you used
to live in and now you spread two hours. Let's
listen to this. By the way, Buck, this is doctor
Gottlie but this morning talking about kids vaccinated potentially five
(27:40):
to eleven years old, and then we'll talk about it
some I bet this conversational even spoil spill over because
I bet some of you out there want to react
to it. Uh, here is what was said? Or should
we save it? Let's save it, Buck, We'll save it
in play. Let's come back to them. We'll let people
react to it. At the top of the of the
second hour of the show, they're they're going to force
your kids who are six years old to get shots
(28:03):
in Blue States, Yes, for a virus that they have
an actual one in a million chance of dying from that.
That is the policy of the Fauchiites. Just get ready
for it. Look imagine the responsibility that comes with taking
some of your family's most precious possessions and performing a
little magic with them. The possessions in this case are
your family's memories on videotape, film, and old pictures. These
(28:24):
are old media formats impossible to see anymore because you
don't have the equipment. The magic in this case is
digitally transferring them so you can see and share them again.
Legacy Box has all that gear and they digitally transfer
them onto DVDs or computer thumb drives. Legacybox dot com
is their website. They've been digitally transferring family members for
(28:44):
family memories for years now and have helped one point
two million families do this up to date. Legacy Box
makes this really easy for you. They ship you a
box large enough for you to put the videotaped pictures
and movie reels in. You ship it back using overnight
delivery to keep track of those valuable items, and a
couple of weeks time you get shiny new DVDs back
(29:05):
ready to watch. The whole process starts online at legacybox
dot com slash buck. Use that website to get forty
percent off the plan you choose. Legacy box dot com
slash buck is that web address. It's as simple as this.
You and your family are gonna love rediscovering what is
on those videotapes. Legacybox dot com slash buck. You'll get
(29:27):
forty percent off, still making the complex understandable. Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton break it down on the EIB Network.
Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
(29:48):
The lines are open. This is bucking NYC. By the way,
Clay out in Nashville. He's gonna be bouncing around the country,
so some of you probably get a chance to see
the man yourself, depending on where he's go But next
one is Atlanta, right Clay, I'm gonna so the next
eight days I'll be in Houston, I'll be in College Station, LA,
and then Atlanta and then Athens. Here we go bouncing around.
(30:12):
Eight hundred two eight two, By the way, have fun
with Jesse, takes him. Be prepared what he takes selfies,
you might get cut out of it because you're taking
a selfie with a jolly green giant. So I've not
ever met Jesse, So you've never met Jesse Kelly. I've
known Jesse for years. He's a great a great dude
and is in a fantastic time slot for Premiere Radio Networks,
the six to nine six to nine Times from Dad.
(30:32):
He took over a highly successful already showed up. Apparently
that audience was growing very rapidly in recent years and
uh and led to good things and Jesse's they're in
good hands with mister Jesse Kelly. Eight hundred two A
two two eight eight two On the phone lines. We
had said we would get to uh doctor Scott Gottlieb,
who was on Face the Nation about putting needles in
(30:54):
kids arms. Here, I mean, this is what we're really talking.
Let's just be all very blunt and honest about the
situation children, as we've discussed so many times, as Clay said,
at risk of a greater risk of drowning, greater risk
of being killed in a car accident on the way
to being murdered, being murdered. I mean, there's all these things,
(31:14):
and you don't sit around terrified about the prospect of
you know, your child, uh, you know, falling down the stairs,
which is probably also more dangerous. The point here being
they don't care. They don't care. They want to go
forward with all of this stuff. And here is doctor
Gottlieb talking about how, oh yeah, I don't worry the
vaccine for kids that's coming to the CEO of Fizer,
(31:35):
the company you started on the board of, affirm today
that that data on vaccinations for five to eleven year
olds will be going to the FDA within a matter
of days. Is that confirming your schedule of vaccines by Halloween? Yeah,
I think that's still possible. FDA has said that the
review is going to be a matter of weeks, not months.
I interpret that to mean potentially a four week review,
(31:56):
maybe a six week review. So I think on the
low end it could take four weeks and that could
give you a vaccine by Halloween. If it slips a little,
could be mid November. And I just want to put
there so much your Clay and you have kids, and
we want to invite people, by the way, you have children.
Clay and I were talking about this in the commercial,
to please call in. What are you gonna do if
your school district, because they're doing it in California, they're
(32:17):
Mandanigan in California. We got our KiB listeners, We got
our listeners in Sacramento and in San Diego. So what
are you gonna do? We want to know. But just
let's just start with this, Clay, a four week review period,
we're supposed to feel really good about that. How many
months ago was it that we were told this vaccine
was going to be durable, you'd be done and you'd
(32:38):
be ninety to ninety five percent protected when you got
the shot, and you need a booster potation, But four
or five months ago, Yeah, that's that was the extent
of vaccine knowledge a few months ago. Now they're saying, oh,
don't worry, we're gonna review how it affects your six
year old for at least a few weeks. Man, and
(32:58):
we got it. I'm sorry. I think people are allowed
to think, what the heck is going on here? Yeah?
And also, when are we going to start to raise
issues here? Scott Gottlieb sits on the board of fiser
IF I and again this is big. I want people
to listen carefully to this conflicts matter. We know that
bias in particular in medicine has been proven even for
(33:20):
doctors to be influential when it comes to which medicines
they request based on all of the drug reps. If
you remember the drug rep business, they had mostly male doctors.
They would send in twenty five year old, smoking hot
girls to tell them why. I mean, this was the
business I was. I remember going on a few dates
(33:42):
with a few to say, I bet you dated some
of those good looking drug reps in New York. It's
a great job to get. If you're a twenty five
twenty six year old recent college graduate. You would go
talk to all of the different doctors. The drug rep
would say, Hey, you need to be prescribing X drug
instead of why drug, and let me give you the
(34:02):
case for why that is. And they found that those
were you know, there wasn't coincidence that they were making
the choice to do that. They knew that it was
an effective way to move their product, to sell it
through doctors and increase the amount that they were prescribing it.
The reason why I bring that up is Buck Scott Gottlieb,
who was being interviewed there sits on the board of Fiser.
(34:24):
Do you think that Fiser might have a really compelling
reason to want as many people as vaccinated as possible? Buck,
I saw that we have created new billionaires. I saw
the study coming out of the most wealthy people in
the past. The two Mogena founders are on the top,
like the rich, among the richest hundred or two hundred
(34:44):
people in the world. Now that's right, and their drug
is being required out there. I would just say this
in general, be skeptical of multi billion dollar corporations that
have minted billionaires who have have a monopoly or a
license to require their product to be used and no liability.
(35:06):
They have no liability. The government has said you must
get this shot. You have no choice, and if it
messes you up, it did. Just this is a fact.
I know ever wants to jump on this. The J
and J shot just just caused a woman to die
who is otherwise young and healthy in Washington State. That
is a fact that is now agreed upon, even by
(35:26):
the Washington Health Bureau whatever it's called. And now we
have a moment here, Claire. We have to look at
all this and say, hold on a second. They're gonna
they're gonna mandate this vaccine in schools for obviously what Clay.
They know that there's not going to be enough voluntary
compliance to get a large to get all the kids.
You're a parent and you want your kid to be vaccinated.
(35:48):
I don't think it makes sense based on the risk
profile for COVID. But but you have the right to
make that, just just like you have. You know, you
have the right to over medicate your kids for eighty
four key or do you all kind of things. There's
a lot of choices the parents get to make right
or wrong. Their parents they're allowed to make them. And
you know, I sit here and I see the trajectory
(36:09):
you see where this is going, and you know California
is mandated at the state level. Does anyone think that,
you know, HOCl the new governor of New York State,
for example, is going to allow California to have the
mantle of the most protective of children from COVID. Of
course not. It's like an arms race of fauciism all
the time for these Democrats who can be on the
(36:30):
forefront of being the most extreme in what they're willing
to do. They're gonna say, your kid has to get
the shot. By the way, think about what's gonna happen, Clay,
when people start to feel like their kids are having
you know, if their kids have pretty nasty science aft
to this, your kids aren't at risk from COVID. No,
I'm going to hit that data again in the second
part of the second hour. But one two two two
(36:51):
eight eight two parents only calls here, what are you
gonna do if your kids have the vaccine mandated as
is likely to happen in states other than California. It's
a big battle that's coming, Buck, It really is well
coming too. That coming up here. Plus we've got Gordon Chang,
friend of mine, a fantastic analyst on all things political
and national security in East Asia. He's going to talk
(37:13):
to us about China and Taiwan and the saber rattling there,
plus the big supply chain snarls that could mean that
you don't have the toys you want to buy for
your kids Christmas. That's coming up. You're listening to Clay
