Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number three Clay Travis
Buck Sexton Show, the narrative of the Biden administration surrounding
COVID exploding in their faces as the number of cases
continue to skyrocket. We will discuss that here in a moment,
(00:24):
the Supreme Court may be prepared to strike down the
COVID vaccine mandate. They are going to announce some rulings
on Thursday. They have announced this week, which is an
unexpected day for them to be releasing rulings. According to
Shannon Bream, could be coincidental, but might well be a
(00:46):
sign that they could be ruling one way or the
other on the stay but Buck. As we went to
finish off the second hour, there a shocking revelation from
inside of the Clay and Buck staff relating to one
Ali on our staff. Ali, is your mic turned on?
(01:06):
Can you come on and share what you shared with us?
J Buck may not have even heard this. You know
this story. I didn't know this, so we were talking
about it was really little at the cool kid on
the block. This girl told me after we saw the
movie that from that day forward. My name which is
Alice was going to be Alie with an eye because
(01:26):
of the credit Kid, because Ali is the love interest Buck.
That is an amazing Thank you Ali. By the way,
Ali is a producer on the show. She's been with
Rush before us for twenty years. Twenty years plus years. Yeah,
we have an incredible staff. I don't think we give
them enough credit. This same staff, for those of you
out there, stayed with us when we came in in
(01:49):
June and worked throughout preparing all of the best of
with Rush. But it's a testament to Rush and the
staff that he had created that they all wanted to
stay and continue to work on the show that you
had built. Now, Ali's a big part of that. By
the way, Ali on Karate Kid Buck best looking girlfriend
for any movie that you grew up watching? Can you
(02:11):
beat Ali on Karate Kid? Maybe Elizabeth Shoe, who went
on to be a pretty well known actress. She was
actually in The Boys. I think it's right, the Amazon
show about the superheroes. I think it's called The Boys, right,
I saw it. I just forget leaving Las Vegas. She
was interest of Nicholas k. She was in The Saint,
which is a weird movie but kind of underrated with
(02:34):
with Val Kilmer from Back in the Day for those
of you really appreciate nineties cinema, but also the brother
of Billie Shoe, who was from Uh in the Day,
the spinoff of nine two one zero that that Aaron
Spelling made a billion dollars and if you really want
your brain to explode. He is on the bench in
(02:55):
the Karate Kid as one of the extras who looks
on during the tournament. Eliza the Shoes brother, I did
not know. I've got the wild movie trivia going now,
so can you beat? Can you beat? Ali? On Karate Kid?
Was Mercedes? Remember the movie License to Drive. I feel
like I'm just gonna get into trouble here by who
you pick? I don't know, because like be like I
(03:16):
don't look like her, or you know I'm gonna get
in trouble. I'nna get in trouble. I know you're oh,
you've got you're worried about girlfriends now man. I just
know it's nineteen eighties. You were a kid, That's true,
That's true. I was a big fan of the the
The lady who gets the guy into trouble in Caddyshack
if you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, I
(03:36):
liked her. Here's a couple that I'll give you. Princess
Leia in the job of the Hut Bikini, I mean,
may have sent many men on their way to adolescence.
I knew I was heterosexual when I saw Princess Leia
in the in the gold bikini on the job of
the Hut's lap. And then I would say that was
in return of the Jedi. For those of those of
you out there, I would also say the um again.
(04:00):
Karate Kid is at the Apex. There you can also
tweet bucking Eye. It's tough to beat Ali in Karate Kid.
Like there are still a lot of people. I had
a Halloween party recently and one of the couples was
was Daniel LaRusso and Ali because she has that cheerleader
skirt that she wears for much of the movie. Then
(04:21):
you also got saved by the Bell. A lot of
people out there, big fans if you remember Tephany amber Theson.
Since we're going down this pathway and some of my
radio listens for a long time, no, because you know
he did end up marrying International. You know, gajillionaire superstar
justin Timberlake. I was a big Jessica Biel Seventh Heaven
fan way back in the day. I thought she's around
(04:43):
your age though, that's all right, Like, well, yeah, that's
like I like the Nev Campbell they're doing a new
Scream movie. I was a big fan of Nev Campbell
back in the day. But she's around my own age.
Drew Barrymore. I was a big fan of Drew Barrymore
back in the day. But when you somebody around your
same age, that's uh. I understand why your girlfriends will
(05:03):
be upset with you. Rightly, I think we have to
get back to saving saving say all right, so I
want to play this clip. I wanted to make sure
everybody knew why Ali was allied. I didn't know that story,
so she got it from when she was in elementary
school and Karate Kid was so popular. I want to
I want to play this clip because I'm starting to
see buck more and more doctors. It's amazing how many
(05:25):
people are so afraid of being outside of the consensus
opinion that they won't say what they actually believe, which would,
by the way, change the consensus opinion right because if
everybody actually said what they think, then our conversation and
debate the marketplace of ideas would actually be more honest.
But Lucy McBride spoke out and said, doctors have an
(05:48):
obligation to help people frame risk, and so again, for
so much of this entire COVID discussion, it's been about
terrifying people, and we've had almost discussion of probability or
risk analysis or trying to make sane decisions. Play cut thirteen.
Those of us in the medical profession, particularly those of
(06:09):
us who are patient facing, who help people every day
understand their unique vulnerabilities for disease, whether it's from COVID
or cancer, we have an obligation to help people frame risk,
to deliver fact based, nuanced information. Fear does harm. It
only makes people afraid. It doesn't affect people's decisions. So
(06:33):
when I'm on Twitter or right now with you, I'm
trying to help people understand that, look, your risk for
COVID is as different as someone else's, and revving the
emotional engines of people's anxiety only does harm. This is
what we've been talking about for how many months now years,
(06:54):
based about reasonable risk acceptance and you've started to see this.
I believe there was an a p fact check maybe
over the weekend of this term that has started to
get used, and but it is one of the failures.
I'm going to say this in general, one of the
failures of conservatives and the right is that we like
to use the lexicon that exists. The left creates new
(07:14):
terms in terminology and changes terms in terminology to suit
its political needs. We'd have better. You know, people say,
why do you infer them as commies? Because it's disparaging
in they're a bunch of Marxists. That's why I refer
to them as commies. It's also funny. It's also a
funny insult. Why thank you, my good man. Like, I
agree too, So that's why I refer to them as commies.
But but here you have mass formation psychosis. You started
(07:38):
to see this. People have been talking about it essentially
as a more official sounding mass hysteria dogs and cats
living together mass hysteria, as my man Clay certainly knows, Yes,
good great Ghostbusters reference. So they don't want that. Now
they did a fact check saying, like, the American Psychiatric
Association doesn't recognize this term or doesn't recognize in the context,
(07:59):
so how it's being used whatever, who cares. The point
is people have lost their gosh darned minds here. Okay.
People are having a mental breakdown. And if you're wondering
what I mean, go ask your neighbor who's wandering the
woods alone with a mask on. What are you doing?
They will look at you like you are crazy. This
is an anxiety disorder. There's something wrong with people. The
(08:22):
circuitry of their brain isn't functioning the way that it
should when it comes to risk. Also, that's an opinion.
You can't fact check an opinion and label it as
like I mean, so tonight, Buck, Alabama is playing Georgia.
I am betting on Georgia to win this game. They
(08:43):
are a two and a half point favorite. That is
my opinion. Georgia is going to beat Alabama. Lots of
other people out there can have a different opinion. Alabama's
gonna be Georgia. Whatever it is. I can't be fact
check today on that opinion. Now I will either be
right or wrong based on the result of the game.
But the inability they it's important to notice what's going
(09:04):
on here now. They are expanding their fact check universe
to the point where they are now fact checking opinions,
which is impossible. Fact checking opinions is nonsensical because all
it's predicated on is the idea of what opinions you
are allowed to have or not to have. So if
(09:26):
somebody wants to argue, hey, we're in the midst of
a mass hysteria over COVID, that's their opinion, you can't
then say this is factually inaccurate, because it's their opinion
of what's going on in society. And the dark core
of Fauciism all along has been the pretense, or the
(09:49):
the make believe of this is fact. This is the science.
I am science, as Fauci says, when they actually are
making judgment call that other people could and as we
see now should have reasonably disagreed with. To pretend that
your judgment is fact is the heart of authoritarianism. It's
(10:11):
this has to be done. It must be this way.
There's no other argument allowed. That started in March of
twenty twenty, and that it has lingered this long is
a function of the Libs, the leftist, the commies seizing
so many of the institutions, not just of government, but
also of mass communication and using it to propagandistic effect,
(10:32):
Amen and Buck. The entire purpose of politicians is not
to constantly genuflect at the altar of experts. It's to
weigh conflicting opinion and make a decision about what we
should do. And I feel like that's been totally lost
in all discussion politics. By and large, when you are
(10:55):
voting for someone for an office, you are trusting their judgment.
Everybody's busy, they don't have time to look at every bill.
When you press that button, when you make that decision,
you pull that lever. However, your vote is tallied. When
you do that, you are saying, I trust your judgment.
That's really the most important choice that you are making
(11:17):
is in their judgment. When a politician says, I'm going
to defer to an unelected bureaucrat like doctor Fauci, whatever
he says to do, I'm going to do, well, why
in the world did I elect you. I didn't elect
doctor Fauci at all. Use your reason, your intelligence, and
your judgment to analyze conflicting data and make rational choices.
(11:40):
We totally skipped over that, and the media made it worse.
Buck because they said, well, if you're not listening to
this particular scientist, you are anti science. No, that's what
everything is. Balancing out different competing interest is the essence
of judgment in adulthood. Michael Folks, the inventor of My Pillow,
(12:02):
and his team fit us for our very own My
Pillows and have introduced us their ever going list of
incredible products. In fact, Clay, I have the complete Foam
Mattress Sleep system on the way, which I am so
excited to be trying because I've read the reviews of it.

the towel sets, the slippers. I'm using them every day.
I know you are too. Soon, I'm gonna have the
(12:22):
complete Foam Mattress sleep system in my bedroom. I'm excited
about it, Clay. How do people get hooked up with

(12:45):
with code Clay and Buck or call eight hundred seven
nine two thirty two sixty nine. That's my pillow dot
com Clay and Buck. It couldn't be much more wrong
that he's been of late tours. I mean, to be
twenty two months into this crisis and to have people
(13:06):
waiting online for testing enough be able to get tests
after he appropriated one point nine trillion dollars to try
to deal with this when he first came into office
is incompetence of a monumental scale. In competence of a
monumental scale. Indeed, that was the former government Jersey, Chris Christie,
(13:27):
welcome back to the Clay and Buck Show. And this
is just to point out to everybody as at Jensaki
right now, White House Press Secretary presses are propaganda czar
for the Biden regime. To point out that Clay, if
this were a republic not just Donald Trump, Okay, if
this were any Republican president and we have had to
(13:49):
go through the expert, this is the plan whiplash that
we've seen, particularly over the last sixty days or so,
there would be calls for, you know, congressional investigation. I
believe that you'd be talking about impeachment. I know that
seems crazy right now, because no one whatever impeachment for
(14:09):
dereliction of duty for the disaster of the COVID plan here.
I mean, we've got a situation of test shortages. How
can we have test shortages all across the country. That's
point one point Q on this is why do people
still believe that if they have access to a test
somehow that's going to dramatically change the course of the pandemic.
(14:32):
There are even places now Clay where they're saying, look,
we don't even want you to test if you're asymptomatic
because we don't want to deal with the hassle anymore
of pretending you need to be quarantined when, as we know,
the quarantine dates keep changing too. Buck, I've had the
flu multiple times. Do you know how many times I've
ever tested positive for the flu in my life? Zero?
(14:53):
We have completely changed what had been standard operating procedure
for most people who gets sick because of COVID. And
let me just refresh pre March of twenty twenty. Think
about what life was if you woke up one day
and you felt sick. You had a couple of choices.
(15:14):
One you could fight through it and you could go
to work, and that was not uncommon. Or two you
would stay home and treat yourself until you felt better.
Most of the time, if you had a fever or
if you didn't feel well, you never went to the doctor.
(15:34):
You certainly never went to the hospital. And that was
our standard operating procedure for all of my life, for
all of your life, Buck, and for pretty much all
of the lives of anyone who could be listening to
us right now. Everyone out there, at some point in
time who was listening to us, I would venture has
had the flu, and I bet most of those people
(15:57):
are like me, and they never actually test and positive
for the flu. We just knew based on the symptoms.
You had a fever, maybe you were throwing up, you
felt achy. What did you do? You buried yourself in bed,
tried to sleep as much as you could, drink as
many fluids as you could, probably watched a lot of movies,
a lot of television, something that was easy going on.
(16:19):
You ate some crackers. Eventually your fever broke and you
it re entered into society. At no point, by and
large were you needing medical treatment. Now, if you became
so ill that you needed medical treatment, you probably would
have gone what to the er, maybe to a local
(16:39):
you know, centric care like place, whatever you want to
call it, and tried to get antibiotics, tried to get treatment.
But this idea that everyone needs to be testing is
crazy to me. And it's been crazy all the way
back to when we initially we're talking about testing in
March of twenty twenty. I've also come across people that
I know, so I take it as I leave them
(17:01):
because you know, I know who they are telling me
that they have tested negative when they were sick and
then tested positive a couple of days later. I mean,
you know, you start to get into oh, yeah, you know,
what are they catching? When are they catching this? But
just more to the point, they've been talking about how
testing was the way out of this for a long time.
Remember Nancy Pelosi, you go back, test tin trase, test
(17:22):
tin trace. She was saying it constantly. Trace is a joke.
I mean, only a moron talks about tracing cases. And
that's been true for now a very long time. But
they were saying that, but even test, we can't test
our way out of this. Well's and Biden doesn't have
enough tests. It's the whole thing. It's just the whole thing.
It's just like a mirage of stupidity, and it's not
getting better. We're going to probably have several weeks of
(17:45):
increasing case loads and then the real question is going
to be will sanity prevail or will they double down
on insanity. We're going to continue to be sane here, Buck,
but there's a lot more insane in this world than
there is sane. Unfortunately. You know, Play and I share
a lot in common. Who comes to our taste in
different things and movies? For example, coffee companies though, that's right,
(18:07):
Black Rifle Coffee. That's who we're drinking every day. Clay
likes their moocha cold bruce served in a can. I
go with the hot stuff hot coffee. You just start
out with just black or caffeinated as blank. That's how
I start my day. It's freshly roasted ground coffee beans
from Black Rifle. Their beans are high quality from Columbia
and Brazil, the roasted five days a week. Look, this
(18:28):
is how you fuel your daily freedom. My friends get
fired up with Black Rifle Coffee, a veteran founded and
operated company go to Black Riflecoffee dot Com, use the
code Clay and Buck and check out for twenty percent
off your purchase and your first coffee club order. That's
Black Riflecoffee dot Com used code Clay and Buck. What
(18:52):
aback in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton, Joe appreciade all of
you hanging out with us. Lots of people gonna get
back into the COVID insanity here in a moment, but
in the meantime, positive thoughts. A lot of you weighing
in on positive Felly Hallie from Ali from the original
Karate Kid with Girls that You Loved from nineteen eighties
(19:15):
era films. Winnie from The Wonder Years got some votes.
Jennifer Gray, I don't remember her actual name on Dirty
Dancing Baby. Remember nobody puts baby in the corner. Wendy
Peppercorn from Sandlot. That's for some of the younger crew
out there. Sandlot is one of the most famous baseball
movies ever. Four people. I would say, what would you say, Block?
(19:39):
Maybe if you're eighteen to thirty five, you are probably
a massive Sandlot fan. Dub. Is that a good approximation,
my guy, Dub, here's like twenty seven twenty eight. Yeah,
I would say I would say more like thirty to
forty five. I think that'd say. Yeah, I think it's more. Dude,
we're getting old, Travis. I think you know, we forget.
I don't think the eighteen year old is seeing Sandlot
(19:59):
these days. I they well, that movie is so popular
now that I think a lot of those kids have
seen have seen Sam. I mean all my kids have
seen the nineteen eighties movies. The best movies, the best
family movies ever made are overwhelmingly not including if you're
into the uh cartoons and the you know, Pixars, not
including the Pixar stuff. The best live action real is
(20:21):
that what you call them? But whatever real movie movies
are from the eighties and some nineties for families, I
mean nothing. What Brock from Weird Science A lot of
people the various accent gets gets it. You know. Uh?
And Uh, which Pixar movie is your favorite, by the way,
I mean I I will favorite Pire. First of all,
(20:41):
you're a single man who is a big Pixar movie.
I'm just saying it might be a little bit of
a red flag there. I've never even seen a Pixar movie.
What even you just gave them a shout out the
Pixar movies because they make millions of dollars. Clay, I'm
never seen a Pixar movie. I think I have seen
the first Toy Story movie. That is it. That's the
only one you never saw? Up? Nope, oh up, it's
(21:03):
a fantastic movie. So I'm just telling you I'm not.
I just I'm ausually criticizing you for being a big
Pixar fan. And now I'm gonna pull a COVID in
the Biden administration and completely flipflop and criticize you for
not having to see the Pixar movie. I would say,
if we're going to talk about that, the original era
of Great Disney animated film, So that's Aladdin, Lion King,
(21:29):
Um Beauty and the Beast Beauty, and he's not the
original era. That's them. Say that's the remade Ara correct,
the great era, if you will, the Great Cinderella's, the
snow Whites, the Peter Pans, like that was the initial era.
Then they had like twenty years where they couldn't do
anything right, and then they did, like you said, Lion King,
Beauty and the Beast Aladdin, like that entire genre all
(21:53):
hit again. Yes, indeed which and then Pixar redid it
and Pixar came back came back to So what are
the other Are there any other names that come on
your list there, Travis that we need to know about now.
I just want to make sure I'm giving requisite nods
to all of our audience. Those are the ones that
I saw most commonly. I couldn't even keep up with
all of the mentions and the dms that we're coming in.
What is the favorite eighties movie for your kids? All
(22:17):
in if you're like, there's one that they love the most,
because I would, I would have some guesses, Like I
would say for me, I feel like it's really tough
to beat Back to the Future Ghostbusters very close. You
also could throw et in there, which I believe is technical.
I think it's early eighties right, maybe eighty. I don't know.
Someone fact check me on this one. Et Et is
sad at least in many ways. I think my kids
(22:39):
favorite movie I don't think I know it would be Ghostbusters.
That was their favorite. The one that we watched the
most in the house was ghost That maybe my top
favorite TEP Top five favorite movies of all time, Number
one is Braveheart, and I'm obsessed with Scotland, which I've
never been been to because of it. But then i
gotta say Ghostbusters Top five. I used to play tennis.
It's Rick moranis by the way. Fund Yeah, was he
(23:00):
a good tennis player, a good, very very good squash player.
He's quick on the court and a very funny fellow.
That surprises me that he would be great as an athlete.
But they loved Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters two. Those are probably
the movies from the eighties that we watched the most.
And they were so excited for the new Ghostbusters, which
is actually pretty good. But such is missus Travis like
(23:21):
it because I'm gonna watch it. Loved it. She loved it.
And I've said this, i think on the air before.
But the first time that we went away from our
kids for very long was the Super Bowl in New
York City. My wife came up. It was the twenty
fourteen or whatever, and my middle son said he was
so jealous that we were going to New York City
(23:43):
because he thought that we would get to meet the Ghostbusters.
And then we're at a super Bowl party and who
rolls in but Bill Murray my wife got her photo
taken with him, and we came back and my four
or five year old was like, oh, of course, when
you go to New York you get to see the Ghostbusters.
So like that was the great, one of the great
moments of his life. He would like to have met
him at that age too, But meeting Bill Murray's pretty awesome. Regardless.
(24:05):
We got the case. Do we want to take take
some calls? I would say we would take a couple
calls here. Lets some people, let's do it, weigh in
on all the things. If they got to favorite eighties,
eighties era leading leading roles. Let us know, Adam and Utah,
what's going on on him? Not too much? How about
you guys, we're doing what's on your mind? Well, um,
(24:26):
you guys were talking about opinions before, and I can't
tell you how many times I've had my opinion censored
on Facebook. And as much as it pisses me off
when they do that, they're private entity. They have the
right and you know, let me just cut you off
here for a minute. I understand that argument. I think
(24:48):
it's a really bad one. And I think that conservatives
and or free market, free expression of belief. First Amendment
absolutists such as myself should not see that ground so significantly,
because when they are not applying their own rules fairly,
they are making content based discrimination decisions. If they were
(25:11):
making decisions consistently, and if, for instance, they were kicking
far left wing people off as often as they are
kicking off conservative opinion, then I would say, well, I
don't agree with their policy, but it is content neutral
in nature. When they are arbitrarily and capriciously, in my opinion,
making those decisions while simultaneously working in concert with the
(25:35):
Democratic Party. Jensaki has said at the lectern before that
they regularly send This is crazy to me, buck regularly
send opinions that they disagree with to Twitter and Facebook
and an effort to try to get those opinions censored.
That's not a free market response. Is it remarkable? Thank
you for calling in, Adam. Is it remarkable how much
(25:57):
we used to hear under the Trump administration about the
rise of fascism when let's just take a historical view
for a second, and because they actually don't teach much
about totalitarian regimes in US history classes, particularly at the
younger ages, you know, it's kind of like, oh, and
then there was this thing World War two and the Soviets,
and we sort of skip past a lot of what
the reality of, particularly communist destruction was all over the world.
(26:21):
Just going to put that out there, But Clay, we
all know if you look at history, authoritarianism thrives when
you have the regime and the press working together. You
have state media, you have these institutions of power and
the dissemination of information pushing for the same stuff. Under Trump,
you had ninety five percent of the media and also
(26:44):
academi and everything else not only against him but becoming richer,
more influential, and more powerful by opposing him, and they
were talking about the rise of fascism. Now we have
the open collusion and I think we could actually use
that word appropriate here between the government and the social
media companies to push certain points of view that should
(27:08):
be to anyone who believes in the First Amendment, a
terrifying reality. But instead you have the so called blue
check journal lives saying they want more censorship. It's not enough,
it's violence. If these ideas are allowed out there, they
get all wrong. It's so well said, Buck, because authoritarianism,
(27:28):
first of all, if you are arguing you're a part
of the resistance, and you're on the side of the government,
the big tech companies, and most major media that ain't
the resistance. You're part of the collective, powerful group, right.
And I loved the criticism of Trump. Oh, he wants
to be a dictator and it's so dangerous in America
(27:51):
right now, we're moving towards fascism. You immediately respond, well,
that's ironic, because the first thing the dictators do is
shut down criticism of them. And yet Trump was, and
I think this is fair, the most criticized president in
any of our lives, far from trying to stifle the
sent And oh, by the way, using COVID as an example,
(28:13):
Trump did far less in terms of taking power than
Biden has, deferring to state and local governments, which is
what Trump did and the majority of the time was
actually the exact opposite of what an authoritarian dictator would do.
He had a once Donald Trump as president had a
once in a century opportunity to seize power that I mean,
(28:37):
you know what FDR had during World War Two, and
perhaps even beyond that when you think about it, in
some ways he could have done that, but to your point, Clay,
and it's an excellent one. Instead, he said, what can
we do here to localize this? Give it to the states.
The federal government helps, Let's see what's working here and there.
Let's bring in outside opinions of people that are supposed
(28:58):
to have expertise on this. He was handed the opportunity
to be an actual tyrant, didn't take it, and instead
we get the Biden regime and fauci As, the true
tyranny that we're seeing today. So they get folks. That's
twenty twenty two, by the way, is the year you
don't put up with bs. That starts with throwing out
your old sweatpants, the ones falling apart, that's your wife
(29:20):
might have been trying to get rid of for a
long time. You could upgrade your look and lounge like
a champ with Tommy John. Start the year wearing Tommy John,
and you'll be that much more comfortable, so you can
do everything better. They have underwear that's breathable, lightweight, moisture
waking fabric four times the stretch of competing brands, pure comfort,
and you'll fill the same level of comfort in their
luxuriously soft loungewear, and it's so comfortable and good looking.
(29:42):
You can and we'll be wearing it everywhere. Over seventeen
million pairs sold. Tommy John doesn't have customers, they have fanatics.
We're probably two of them. Look at Bucks Warderobe, He's
always wearing his Tommy John gear. How do people get
hooked up with the same year that you got? Buck?
It's so comfortable, folks, I'm telling you how to try it.
I got for Christmas, my four siblings, my parents, my
(30:06):
brother and sister in law Tommy John gear and they're
wearing it all the time. Get twenty percent off your

(30:29):
I'm a clan Buck show. If you missed a moment
of it, don't forget. You can always go back and
listen to the podcast on the iHeart app or wherever
you get your podcast. Also the buck Sexton podcast. I
have a piece up today at Bucksexen dot com to
correspond with it on just the craziness of the COVID
numbers and how they're now finally admitting that they got
I'm wrong, and I'm really wrong. It seems like kind
(30:50):
of a big deal. Kind of a big deal. You
can get a Bucksexen dot com for that one. I
think I call the CDC an abomination, which I think
is fair. I think it should probably be scrapped as
I think that's Clay. I think that might be kind.
You know, it's it's definitely not doing its job very
well at all. And we have great guests with you
all tomorrow. Here we got Senator Ron Johnson will be joining.
(31:13):
Is he running again, Clay? Is he running? He has
announced that he was running again. We pitched him on
the last time he was on. That's big, I think
for people who are in Wisconsin. I think that Wisconsin's
gonna break red in a big way in twenty two
and I think that Ron Johnson will win reelection. And
I think we have Alex Berenson as well joining us.
He of Pandemia, the book which we recommend to all
(31:35):
of you. I've got my copy at home. Alex on
the vaccines not working very well. I remember every time
he said that I kind of had this, Oh, we're
gonna get dings for that on social media. We did sometimes, folks,
Just so you know, we took hits on this show
for having Alex on I mean officially took them from
the social media giants. He was right. We all know
that now, and Clay, I think it's fair to say
(31:57):
that he's gonna talk to us about some stuff tomorrow
that well, admit it's not a one hundred percent yet,
but people need to know, and it's it's it's gonna
make some news. It's pretty concerning stuff about the realities
of what's happening out there right now, no doubt, and
I would encourage people. We shared it and we talked
about it in the first hour. Wall Street Journal editorial
Omicron makes Biden's mandates obsolete fantastically well written opinion piece.
(32:22):
I would encourage all of you to read and share
that in today's Wall Street Journal. I also wanted to
just tell you that this is what Jensaki we were
talking about. She just had a White House press conference.
There's one thing that you said I thought was interesting.
We want to play for you, go for it, and
that we have to ensure. January sixth, doesn't mark the
end of democracy, but the beginning of a renaissance for
our democracy, where we stand up for the right to
(32:42):
vote and have that vote counted fairly, not undermined by
partisans afraid of who you voted for, or try to
reserve verse an outcome at a lot of bullcrap meander.
Here's the point, Clay, You see it, I see it.
Everyone listening needs to know this. January sixth is now
the rallying cry for changing through federal law, which would
override hundreds of different laws in states across the country
(33:06):
when it comes to ballot harvesting, harvesting, when it comes
to id requirements for voting, override all of that, which
upends our system actually to make it more similar to
the COVID pandemic year or else you're an insurrectionist and
you support January sixth, that's what's going on. It's also unconstitutional.
And even if you want to talk about whether or
(33:28):
not this is going to pass, and it does not
seem like it's going to pass, because they're not going
to change the filibuster rules to allow it to pass.
Even if it were to pass. If you look at
recent Supreme Court jurisprudence as it pertains to local voting
rules and regulations state law. In other words, this federal
mandate I do not believe is remotely constitutional. So that
(33:52):
in and of itself is a huge part of this
story that no one takes the next step towards. And
I think you're right, Buck. Look, the storyline here is
going to be based on where we are right now.
Lots of things can change, but it appears we're going
to see a red tide in twenty twenty two. All
of you should get out and vote, and we need
to have consequences for defund the police, for lockdowns, for
your kids not being in school. That's the way you
(34:14):
win long term is by holding politicians accountable. That's the
essence of democracy. But when Republicans dominate in twenty twenty two,
and when there is a red tide, which I believe
is going to be roaring across the country representing sanity,
what is going to happen is Republicans are going to
say sorry. Democrats are going to say the reason why
we lost is because of racism, and that's going to
(34:35):
be their storyline going into twenty twenty four to try
and justify why they lost in twenty twenty two. And
then they're also probably going to have to explain why
they might pass over the first female black vice president
for a different candidate the Democrat Party because they think
that Kamala can't get have done. That will be and
it won't be fascinatingly to watch the we lost because
(34:56):
of racism. Oh, by the way, we're not actually going
to have Kamala, Harris says, a standard bearer of the
Democrat Party, because we have no confidence in her. It'll
just be an interesting situation they put themselves in. They're hoping,
because Biden's already pledged to put a black woman on
the Supreme Court, that Stephen Bryer is going to step down.
This is my thesis, and then they're going to try
and put a lot of pressure on Kamala, and that
(35:17):
would need to happen, by the way, Briar stepping down
at some point this summer to allow theoretically the Democrats
to muscle in a replacement for Briar before we get
into the midterms, and it becomes virtually impossible to replace anyone.
By the way, speaking of impossible, it would be impossible
for me not to give shouts out to our listeners
who wanted to let me know, Clay, You're an imbecile
(35:39):
for not referencing Sloan Peterson from Ferris Bueller and Phoebe
Kates from Fast Time at Ridgemont Coy. You know, I've
got your back against everyone who comes at you. They
got a point. They're right there, They're right there. I
blew it. Those are we were talking about nineteen eighties
movie women's stars because we got onto a karate kid
(36:00):
meeting Cobra Kai Kick no pun intended there. That has
been underway for four seasons. Now we have so much
more to get to and we're gonna do it with
you here tomorrow. Please, you gonna tell somebody about the show,
especially if you can share the podcast with them so
they can give it a listen. Then they can tune
in on their local affiliate. You know about four hundred
and forty four hundred fifty affiliates across the country, so
pretty easy to find one in your area. And tomorrow
(36:22):
we're gonna have Alex Parentson on Barrens. Is gonna be
dropping Barrens and bombs, folks. I don't know what else
to say. I mean when you hear what he wants
to talk about and the data behind it. It's gonna
be very interesting. Plus Senator Ron Johnson, he's always worth
while and fun. We'll talk to him everybody else tune
in then, thanks for being here. Clay and Buck. Over
and out. You're listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
(36:48):
fund the EIB Network
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number three Clay Travis
Buck Sexton Show, the narrative of the Biden administration surrounding
COVID exploding in their faces as the number of cases
continue to skyrocket. We will discuss that here in a moment,
(00:24):
the Supreme Court may be prepared to strike down the
COVID vaccine mandate. They are going to announce some rulings
on Thursday. They have announced this week, which is an
unexpected day for them to be releasing rulings. According to
Shannon Bream, could be coincidental, but might well be a
(00:46):
sign that they could be ruling one way or the
other on the stay but Buck. As we went to
finish off the second hour, there a shocking revelation from
inside of the Clay and Buck staff relating to one
Ali on our staff. Ali, is your mic turned on?
(01:06):
Can you come on and share what you shared with us?
J Buck may not have even heard this. You know
this story. I didn't know this, so we were talking
about it was really little at the cool kid on
the block. This girl told me after we saw the
movie that from that day forward. My name which is
Alice was going to be Alie with an eye because
(01:26):
of the credit Kid, because Ali is the love interest Buck.
That is an amazing Thank you Ali. By the way,
Ali is a producer on the show. She's been with
Rush before us for twenty years. Twenty years plus years. Yeah,
we have an incredible staff. I don't think we give
them enough credit. This same staff, for those of you
out there, stayed with us when we came in in
(01:49):
June and worked throughout preparing all of the best of
with Rush. But it's a testament to Rush and the
staff that he had created that they all wanted to
stay and continue to work on the show that you
had built. Now, Ali's a big part of that. By
the way, Ali on Karate Kid Buck best looking girlfriend
for any movie that you grew up watching? Can you
(02:11):
beat Ali on Karate Kid? Maybe Elizabeth Shoe, who went
on to be a pretty well known actress. She was
actually in The Boys. I think it's right, the Amazon
show about the superheroes. I think it's called The Boys, right,
I saw it. I just forget leaving Las Vegas. She
was interest of Nicholas k. She was in The Saint,
which is a weird movie but kind of underrated with
(02:34):
with Val Kilmer from Back in the Day for those
of you really appreciate nineties cinema, but also the brother
of Billie Shoe, who was from Uh in the Day,
the spinoff of nine two one zero that that Aaron
Spelling made a billion dollars and if you really want
your brain to explode. He is on the bench in
(02:55):
the Karate Kid as one of the extras who looks
on during the tournament. Eliza the Shoes brother, I did
not know. I've got the wild movie trivia going now,
so can you beat? Can you beat? Ali? On Karate Kid?
Was Mercedes? Remember the movie License to Drive. I feel
like I'm just gonna get into trouble here by who
you pick? I don't know, because like be like I
(03:16):
don't look like her, or you know I'm gonna get
in trouble. I'nna get in trouble. I know you're oh,
you've got you're worried about girlfriends now man. I just
know it's nineteen eighties. You were a kid, That's true,
That's true. I was a big fan of the the
The lady who gets the guy into trouble in Caddyshack
if you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, I
(03:36):
liked her. Here's a couple that I'll give you. Princess
Leia in the job of the Hut Bikini, I mean,
may have sent many men on their way to adolescence.
I knew I was heterosexual when I saw Princess Leia
in the in the gold bikini on the job of
the Hut's lap. And then I would say that was
in return of the Jedi. For those of those of
you out there, I would also say the um again.
(04:00):
Karate Kid is at the Apex. There you can also
tweet bucking Eye. It's tough to beat Ali in Karate Kid.
Like there are still a lot of people. I had
a Halloween party recently and one of the couples was
was Daniel LaRusso and Ali because she has that cheerleader
skirt that she wears for much of the movie. Then
(04:21):
you also got saved by the Bell. A lot of
people out there, big fans if you remember Tephany amber Theson.
Since we're going down this pathway and some of my
radio listens for a long time, no, because you know
he did end up marrying International. You know, gajillionaire superstar
justin Timberlake. I was a big Jessica Biel Seventh Heaven
fan way back in the day. I thought she's around
(04:43):
your age though, that's all right, Like, well, yeah, that's
like I like the Nev Campbell they're doing a new
Scream movie. I was a big fan of Nev Campbell
back in the day. But she's around my own age.
Drew Barrymore. I was a big fan of Drew Barrymore
back in the day. But when you somebody around your
same age, that's uh. I understand why your girlfriends will
(05:03):
be upset with you. Rightly, I think we have to
get back to saving saving say all right, so I
want to play this clip. I wanted to make sure
everybody knew why Ali was allied. I didn't know that story,
so she got it from when she was in elementary
school and Karate Kid was so popular. I want to
I want to play this clip because I'm starting to
see buck more and more doctors. It's amazing how many
(05:25):
people are so afraid of being outside of the consensus
opinion that they won't say what they actually believe, which would,
by the way, change the consensus opinion right because if
everybody actually said what they think, then our conversation and
debate the marketplace of ideas would actually be more honest.
But Lucy McBride spoke out and said, doctors have an
(05:48):
obligation to help people frame risk, and so again, for
so much of this entire COVID discussion, it's been about
terrifying people, and we've had almost discussion of probability or
risk analysis or trying to make sane decisions. Play cut thirteen.
Those of us in the medical profession, particularly those of
(06:09):
us who are patient facing, who help people every day
understand their unique vulnerabilities for disease, whether it's from COVID
or cancer, we have an obligation to help people frame risk,
to deliver fact based, nuanced information. Fear does harm. It
only makes people afraid. It doesn't affect people's decisions. So
(06:33):
when I'm on Twitter or right now with you, I'm
trying to help people understand that, look, your risk for
COVID is as different as someone else's, and revving the
emotional engines of people's anxiety only does harm. This is
what we've been talking about for how many months now years,
(06:54):
based about reasonable risk acceptance and you've started to see this.
I believe there was an a p fact check maybe
over the weekend of this term that has started to
get used, and but it is one of the failures.
I'm going to say this in general, one of the
failures of conservatives and the right is that we like
to use the lexicon that exists. The left creates new
(07:14):
terms in terminology and changes terms in terminology to suit
its political needs. We'd have better. You know, people say,
why do you infer them as commies? Because it's disparaging
in they're a bunch of Marxists. That's why I refer
to them as commies. It's also funny. It's also a
funny insult. Why thank you, my good man. Like, I
agree too, So that's why I refer to them as commies.
But but here you have mass formation psychosis. You started
(07:38):
to see this. People have been talking about it essentially
as a more official sounding mass hysteria dogs and cats
living together mass hysteria, as my man Clay certainly knows, Yes,
good great Ghostbusters reference. So they don't want that. Now
they did a fact check saying, like, the American Psychiatric
Association doesn't recognize this term or doesn't recognize in the context,
(07:59):
so how it's being used whatever, who cares. The point
is people have lost their gosh darned minds here. Okay.
People are having a mental breakdown. And if you're wondering
what I mean, go ask your neighbor who's wandering the
woods alone with a mask on. What are you doing?
They will look at you like you are crazy. This
is an anxiety disorder. There's something wrong with people. The
(08:22):
circuitry of their brain isn't functioning the way that it
should when it comes to risk. Also, that's an opinion.
You can't fact check an opinion and label it as
like I mean, so tonight, Buck, Alabama is playing Georgia.
I am betting on Georgia to win this game. They
(08:43):
are a two and a half point favorite. That is
my opinion. Georgia is going to beat Alabama. Lots of
other people out there can have a different opinion. Alabama's
gonna be Georgia. Whatever it is. I can't be fact
check today on that opinion. Now I will either be
right or wrong based on the result of the game.
But the inability they it's important to notice what's going
(09:04):
on here now. They are expanding their fact check universe
to the point where they are now fact checking opinions,
which is impossible. Fact checking opinions is nonsensical because all
it's predicated on is the idea of what opinions you
are allowed to have or not to have. So if
(09:26):
somebody wants to argue, hey, we're in the midst of
a mass hysteria over COVID, that's their opinion, you can't
then say this is factually inaccurate, because it's their opinion
of what's going on in society. And the dark core
of Fauciism all along has been the pretense, or the
(09:49):
the make believe of this is fact. This is the science.
I am science, as Fauci says, when they actually are
making judgment call that other people could and as we
see now should have reasonably disagreed with. To pretend that
your judgment is fact is the heart of authoritarianism. It's
(10:11):
this has to be done. It must be this way.
There's no other argument allowed. That started in March of
twenty twenty, and that it has lingered this long is
a function of the Libs, the leftist, the commies seizing
so many of the institutions, not just of government, but
also of mass communication and using it to propagandistic effect,
(10:32):
Amen and Buck. The entire purpose of politicians is not
to constantly genuflect at the altar of experts. It's to
weigh conflicting opinion and make a decision about what we
should do. And I feel like that's been totally lost
in all discussion politics. By and large, when you are
(10:55):
voting for someone for an office, you are trusting their judgment.
Everybody's busy, they don't have time to look at every bill.
When you press that button, when you make that decision,
you pull that lever. However, your vote is tallied. When
you do that, you are saying, I trust your judgment.
That's really the most important choice that you are making
(11:17):
is in their judgment. When a politician says, I'm going
to defer to an unelected bureaucrat like doctor Fauci, whatever
he says to do, I'm going to do, well, why
in the world did I elect you. I didn't elect
doctor Fauci at all. Use your reason, your intelligence, and
your judgment to analyze conflicting data and make rational choices.
(11:40):
We totally skipped over that, and the media made it worse.
Buck because they said, well, if you're not listening to
this particular scientist, you are anti science. No, that's what
everything is. Balancing out different competing interest is the essence
of judgment in adulthood. Michael Folks, the inventor of My Pillow,
(12:02):
and his team fit us for our very own My
Pillows and have introduced us their ever going list of
incredible products. In fact, Clay, I have the complete Foam
Mattress Sleep system on the way, which I am so
excited to be trying because I've read the reviews of it.

the towel sets, the slippers. I'm using them every day.

(12:22):
complete Foam Mattress sleep system in my bedroom. I'm excited
about it, Clay. How do people get hooked up with

(12:45):
with code Clay and Buck or call eight hundred seven
nine two thirty two sixty nine. That's my pillow dot
com Clay and Buck. It couldn't be much more wrong
that he's been of late tours. I mean, to be
twenty two months into this crisis and to have people
(13:06):
waiting online for testing enough be able to get tests
after he appropriated one point nine trillion dollars to try
to deal with this when he first came into office
is incompetence of a monumental scale. In competence of a
monumental scale. Indeed, that was the former government Jersey, Chris Christie,
(13:27):
welcome back to the Clay and Buck Show. And this
is just to point out to everybody as at Jensaki
right now, White House Press Secretary presses are propaganda czar
for the Biden regime. To point out that Clay, if
this were a republic not just Donald Trump, Okay, if
this were any Republican president and we have had to
(13:49):
go through the expert, this is the plan whiplash that
we've seen, particularly over the last sixty days or so,
there would be calls for, you know, congressional investigation. I
believe that you'd be talking about impeachment. I know that
seems crazy right now, because no one whatever impeachment for
(14:09):
dereliction of duty for the disaster of the COVID plan here.
I mean, we've got a situation of test shortages. How
can we have test shortages all across the country. That's
point one point Q on this is why do people
still believe that if they have access to a test
somehow that's going to dramatically change the course of the pandemic.
(14:32):
There are even places now Clay where they're saying, look,
we don't even want you to test if you're asymptomatic
because we don't want to deal with the hassle anymore
of pretending you need to be quarantined when, as we know,
the quarantine dates keep changing too. Buck, I've had the
flu multiple times. Do you know how many times I've
ever tested positive for the flu in my life? Zero?
(14:53):
We have completely changed what had been standard operating procedure
for most people who gets sick because of COVID. And
let me just refresh pre March of twenty twenty. Think
about what life was if you woke up one day
and you felt sick. You had a couple of choices.
(15:14):
One you could fight through it and you could go
to work, and that was not uncommon. Or two you
would stay home and treat yourself until you felt better.
Most of the time, if you had a fever or
if you didn't feel well, you never went to the doctor.
(15:34):
You certainly never went to the hospital. And that was
our standard operating procedure for all of my life, for
all of your life, Buck, and for pretty much all
of the lives of anyone who could be listening to
us right now. Everyone out there, at some point in
time who was listening to us, I would venture has
had the flu, and I bet most of those people
(15:57):
are like me, and they never actually test and positive
for the flu. We just knew based on the symptoms.
You had a fever, maybe you were throwing up, you
felt achy. What did you do? You buried yourself in bed,
tried to sleep as much as you could, drink as
many fluids as you could, probably watched a lot of movies,
a lot of television, something that was easy going on.
(16:19):
You ate some crackers. Eventually your fever broke and you
it re entered into society. At no point, by and
large were you needing medical treatment. Now, if you became
so ill that you needed medical treatment, you probably would
have gone what to the er, maybe to a local
(16:39):
you know, centric care like place, whatever you want to
call it, and tried to get antibiotics, tried to get treatment.
But this idea that everyone needs to be testing is
crazy to me. And it's been crazy all the way
back to when we initially we're talking about testing in
March of twenty twenty. I've also come across people that
I know, so I take it as I leave them
(17:01):
because you know, I know who they are telling me
that they have tested negative when they were sick and
then tested positive a couple of days later. I mean,
you know, you start to get into oh, yeah, you know,
what are they catching? When are they catching this? But
just more to the point, they've been talking about how
testing was the way out of this for a long time.
Remember Nancy Pelosi, you go back, test tin trase, test
(17:22):
tin trace. She was saying it constantly. Trace is a joke.
I mean, only a moron talks about tracing cases. And
that's been true for now a very long time. But
they were saying that, but even test, we can't test
our way out of this. Well's and Biden doesn't have
enough tests. It's the whole thing. It's just the whole thing.
It's just like a mirage of stupidity, and it's not
getting better. We're going to probably have several weeks of
(17:45):
increasing case loads and then the real question is going
to be will sanity prevail or will they double down
on insanity. We're going to continue to be sane here, Buck,
but there's a lot more insane in this world than
there is sane. Unfortunately. You know, Play and I share
a lot in common. Who comes to our taste in
different things and movies? For example, coffee companies though, that's right,
(18:07):
Black Rifle Coffee. That's who we're drinking every day. Clay
likes their moocha cold bruce served in a can. I
go with the hot stuff hot coffee. You just start
out with just black or caffeinated as blank. That's how
I start my day. It's freshly roasted ground coffee beans
from Black Rifle. Their beans are high quality from Columbia
and Brazil, the roasted five days a week. Look, this
(18:28):
is how you fuel your daily freedom. My friends get
fired up with Black Rifle Coffee, a veteran founded and
operated company go to Black Riflecoffee dot Com, use the
code Clay and Buck and check out for twenty percent
off your purchase and your first coffee club order. That's
Black Riflecoffee dot Com used code Clay and Buck. What
(18:52):
aback in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton, Joe appreciade all of
you hanging out with us. Lots of people gonna get
back into the COVID insanity here in a moment, but
in the meantime, positive thoughts. A lot of you weighing
in on positive Felly Hallie from Ali from the original
Karate Kid with Girls that You Loved from nineteen eighties
(19:15):
era films. Winnie from The Wonder Years got some votes.
Jennifer Gray, I don't remember her actual name on Dirty
Dancing Baby. Remember nobody puts baby in the corner. Wendy
Peppercorn from Sandlot. That's for some of the younger crew
out there. Sandlot is one of the most famous baseball
movies ever. Four people. I would say, what would you say, Block?
(19:39):
Maybe if you're eighteen to thirty five, you are probably
a massive Sandlot fan. Dub. Is that a good approximation,
my guy, Dub, here's like twenty seven twenty eight. Yeah,
I would say I would say more like thirty to
forty five. I think that'd say. Yeah, I think it's more. Dude,
we're getting old, Travis. I think you know, we forget.
I don't think the eighteen year old is seeing Sandlot
(19:59):
these days. I they well, that movie is so popular
now that I think a lot of those kids have
seen have seen Sam. I mean all my kids have
seen the nineteen eighties movies. The best movies, the best
family movies ever made are overwhelmingly not including if you're
into the uh cartoons and the you know, Pixars, not
including the Pixar stuff. The best live action real is
(20:21):
that what you call them? But whatever real movie movies
are from the eighties and some nineties for families, I
mean nothing. What Brock from Weird Science A lot of
people the various accent gets gets it. You know. Uh?
And Uh, which Pixar movie is your favorite, by the way,
I mean I I will favorite Pire. First of all,
(20:41):
you're a single man who is a big Pixar movie.
I'm just saying it might be a little bit of
a red flag there. I've never even seen a Pixar movie.
What even you just gave them a shout out the
Pixar movies because they make millions of dollars. Clay, I'm
never seen a Pixar movie. I think I have seen
the first Toy Story movie. That is it. That's the
only one you never saw? Up? Nope, oh up, it's
(21:03):
a fantastic movie. So I'm just telling you I'm not.
I just I'm ausually criticizing you for being a big
Pixar fan. And now I'm gonna pull a COVID in
the Biden administration and completely flipflop and criticize you for
not having to see the Pixar movie. I would say,
if we're going to talk about that, the original era
of Great Disney animated film, So that's Aladdin, Lion King,
(21:29):
Um Beauty and the Beast Beauty, and he's not the
original era. That's them. Say that's the remade Ara correct,
the great era, if you will, the Great Cinderella's, the
snow Whites, the Peter Pans, like that was the initial era.
Then they had like twenty years where they couldn't do
anything right, and then they did, like you said, Lion King,
Beauty and the Beast Aladdin, like that entire genre all
(21:53):
hit again. Yes, indeed which and then Pixar redid it
and Pixar came back came back to So what are
the other Are there any other names that come on
your list there, Travis that we need to know about now.
I just want to make sure I'm giving requisite nods
to all of our audience. Those are the ones that
I saw most commonly. I couldn't even keep up with
all of the mentions and the dms that we're coming in.
What is the favorite eighties movie for your kids? All
(22:17):
in if you're like, there's one that they love the most,
because I would, I would have some guesses, Like I
would say for me, I feel like it's really tough
to beat Back to the Future Ghostbusters very close. You
also could throw et in there, which I believe is technical.
I think it's early eighties right, maybe eighty. I don't know.
Someone fact check me on this one. Et Et is
sad at least in many ways. I think my kids
(22:39):
favorite movie I don't think I know it would be Ghostbusters.
That was their favorite. The one that we watched the
most in the house was ghost That maybe my top
favorite TEP Top five favorite movies of all time, Number
one is Braveheart, and I'm obsessed with Scotland, which I've
never been been to because of it. But then i
gotta say Ghostbusters Top five. I used to play tennis.
It's Rick moranis by the way. Fund Yeah, was he
(23:00):
a good tennis player, a good, very very good squash player.
He's quick on the court and a very funny fellow.
That surprises me that he would be great as an athlete.
But they loved Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters two. Those are probably
the movies from the eighties that we watched the most.
And they were so excited for the new Ghostbusters, which
is actually pretty good. But such is missus Travis like
(23:21):
it because I'm gonna watch it. Loved it. She loved it.
And I've said this, i think on the air before.
But the first time that we went away from our
kids for very long was the Super Bowl in New
York City. My wife came up. It was the twenty
fourteen or whatever, and my middle son said he was
so jealous that we were going to New York City
(23:43):
because he thought that we would get to meet the Ghostbusters.
And then we're at a super Bowl party and who
rolls in but Bill Murray my wife got her photo
taken with him, and we came back and my four
or five year old was like, oh, of course, when
you go to New York you get to see the Ghostbusters.
So like that was the great, one of the great
moments of his life. He would like to have met
him at that age too, But meeting Bill Murray's pretty awesome. Regardless.
(24:05):
We got the case. Do we want to take take
some calls? I would say we would take a couple
calls here. Lets some people, let's do it, weigh in
on all the things. If they got to favorite eighties,
eighties era leading leading roles. Let us know, Adam and Utah,
what's going on on him? Not too much? How about
you guys, we're doing what's on your mind? Well, um,
(24:26):
you guys were talking about opinions before, and I can't
tell you how many times I've had my opinion censored
on Facebook. And as much as it pisses me off
when they do that, they're private entity. They have the
right and you know, let me just cut you off
here for a minute. I understand that argument. I think
(24:48):
it's a really bad one. And I think that conservatives
and or free market, free expression of belief. First Amendment
absolutists such as myself should not see that ground so significantly,
because when they are not applying their own rules fairly,
they are making content based discrimination decisions. If they were
(25:11):
making decisions consistently, and if, for instance, they were kicking
far left wing people off as often as they are
kicking off conservative opinion, then I would say, well, I
don't agree with their policy, but it is content neutral
in nature. When they are arbitrarily and capriciously, in my opinion,
making those decisions while simultaneously working in concert with the
(25:35):
Democratic Party. Jensaki has said at the lectern before that
they regularly send This is crazy to me, buck regularly
send opinions that they disagree with to Twitter and Facebook
and an effort to try to get those opinions censored.
That's not a free market response. Is it remarkable? Thank
you for calling in, Adam. Is it remarkable how much
(25:57):
we used to hear under the Trump administration about the
rise of fascism when let's just take a historical view
for a second, and because they actually don't teach much
about totalitarian regimes in US history classes, particularly at the
younger ages, you know, it's kind of like, oh, and
then there was this thing World War two and the Soviets,
and we sort of skip past a lot of what
the reality of, particularly communist destruction was all over the world.
(26:21):
Just going to put that out there, But Clay, we
all know if you look at history, authoritarianism thrives when
you have the regime and the press working together. You
have state media, you have these institutions of power and
the dissemination of information pushing for the same stuff. Under Trump,
you had ninety five percent of the media and also
(26:44):
academi and everything else not only against him but becoming richer,
more influential, and more powerful by opposing him, and they
were talking about the rise of fascism. Now we have
the open collusion and I think we could actually use
that word appropriate here between the government and the social
media companies to push certain points of view that should
(27:08):
be to anyone who believes in the First Amendment, a
terrifying reality. But instead you have the so called blue
check journal lives saying they want more censorship. It's not enough,
it's violence. If these ideas are allowed out there, they
get all wrong. It's so well said, Buck, because authoritarianism,
(27:28):
first of all, if you are arguing you're a part
of the resistance, and you're on the side of the government,
the big tech companies, and most major media that ain't
the resistance. You're part of the collective, powerful group, right.
And I loved the criticism of Trump. Oh, he wants
to be a dictator and it's so dangerous in America
(27:51):
right now, we're moving towards fascism. You immediately respond, well,
that's ironic, because the first thing the dictators do is
shut down criticism of them. And yet Trump was, and
I think this is fair, the most criticized president in
any of our lives, far from trying to stifle the
sent And oh, by the way, using COVID as an example,
(28:13):
Trump did far less in terms of taking power than
Biden has, deferring to state and local governments, which is
what Trump did and the majority of the time was
actually the exact opposite of what an authoritarian dictator would do.
He had a once Donald Trump as president had a
once in a century opportunity to seize power that I mean,
(28:37):
you know what FDR had during World War Two, and
perhaps even beyond that when you think about it, in
some ways he could have done that, but to your point, Clay,
and it's an excellent one. Instead, he said, what can
we do here to localize this? Give it to the states.
The federal government helps, Let's see what's working here and there.
Let's bring in outside opinions of people that are supposed
(28:58):
to have expertise on this. He was handed the opportunity
to be an actual tyrant, didn't take it, and instead
we get the Biden regime and fauci As, the true
tyranny that we're seeing today. So they get folks. That's
twenty twenty two, by the way, is the year you
don't put up with bs. That starts with throwing out
your old sweatpants, the ones falling apart, that's your wife
(29:20):
might have been trying to get rid of for a
long time. You could upgrade your look and lounge like
a champ with Tommy John. Start the year wearing Tommy John,
and you'll be that much more comfortable, so you can
do everything better. They have underwear that's breathable, lightweight, moisture
waking fabric four times the stretch of competing brands, pure comfort,
and you'll fill the same level of comfort in their
luxuriously soft loungewear, and it's so comfortable and good looking.
(29:42):
You can and we'll be wearing it everywhere. Over seventeen
million pairs sold. Tommy John doesn't have customers, they have fanatics.
We're probably two of them. Look at Bucks Warderobe, He's
always wearing his Tommy John gear. How do people get
hooked up with the same year that you got? Buck?
It's so comfortable, folks, I'm telling you how to try it.
I got for Christmas, my four siblings, my parents, my
(30:06):
brother and sister in law Tommy John gear and they're
wearing it all the time. Get twenty percent off your

(30:29):
I'm a clan Buck show. If you missed a moment
of it, don't forget. You can always go back and
listen to the podcast on the iHeart app or wherever
you get your podcast. Also the buck Sexton podcast. I
have a piece up today at Bucksexen dot com to
correspond with it on just the craziness of the COVID
numbers and how they're now finally admitting that they got
I'm wrong, and I'm really wrong. It seems like kind
(30:50):
of a big deal. Kind of a big deal. You
can get a Bucksexen dot com for that one. I
think I call the CDC an abomination, which I think
is fair. I think it should probably be scrapped as
I think that's Clay. I think that might be kind.
You know, it's it's definitely not doing its job very
well at all. And we have great guests with you
all tomorrow. Here we got Senator Ron Johnson will be joining.
(31:13):
Is he running again, Clay? Is he running? He has
announced that he was running again. We pitched him on
the last time he was on. That's big, I think
for people who are in Wisconsin. I think that Wisconsin's
gonna break red in a big way in twenty two
and I think that Ron Johnson will win reelection. And
I think we have Alex Berenson as well joining us.
He of Pandemia, the book which we recommend to all
(31:35):
of you. I've got my copy at home. Alex on
the vaccines not working very well. I remember every time
he said that I kind of had this, Oh, we're
gonna get dings for that on social media. We did sometimes, folks,
Just so you know, we took hits on this show
for having Alex on I mean officially took them from
the social media giants. He was right. We all know
that now, and Clay, I think it's fair to say
(31:57):
that he's gonna talk to us about some stuff tomorrow
that well, admit it's not a one hundred percent yet,
but people need to know, and it's it's it's gonna
make some news. It's pretty concerning stuff about the realities
of what's happening out there right now, no doubt, and
I would encourage people. We shared it and we talked
about it in the first hour. Wall Street Journal editorial
Omicron makes Biden's mandates obsolete fantastically well written opinion piece.
(32:22):
I would encourage all of you to read and share
that in today's Wall Street Journal. I also wanted to
just tell you that this is what Jensaki we were
talking about. She just had a White House press conference.
There's one thing that you said I thought was interesting.
We want to play for you, go for it, and
that we have to ensure. January sixth, doesn't mark the
end of democracy, but the beginning of a renaissance for
our democracy, where we stand up for the right to
(32:42):
vote and have that vote counted fairly, not undermined by
partisans afraid of who you voted for, or try to
reserve verse an outcome at a lot of bullcrap meander.
Here's the point, Clay, You see it, I see it.
Everyone listening needs to know this. January sixth is now
the rallying cry for changing through federal law, which would
override hundreds of different laws in states across the country
(33:06):
when it comes to ballot harvesting, harvesting, when it comes
to id requirements for voting, override all of that, which
upends our system actually to make it more similar to
the COVID pandemic year or else you're an insurrectionist and
you support January sixth, that's what's going on. It's also unconstitutional.
And even if you want to talk about whether or
(33:28):
not this is going to pass, and it does not
seem like it's going to pass, because they're not going
to change the filibuster rules to allow it to pass.
Even if it were to pass. If you look at
recent Supreme Court jurisprudence as it pertains to local voting
rules and regulations state law. In other words, this federal
mandate I do not believe is remotely constitutional. So that
(33:52):
in and of itself is a huge part of this
story that no one takes the next step towards. And
I think you're right, Buck. Look, the storyline here is
going to be based on where we are right now.
Lots of things can change, but it appears we're going
to see a red tide in twenty twenty two. All
of you should get out and vote, and we need
to have consequences for defund the police, for lockdowns, for
your kids not being in school. That's the way you
(34:14):
win long term is by holding politicians accountable. That's the
essence of democracy. But when Republicans dominate in twenty twenty two,
and when there is a red tide, which I believe
is going to be roaring across the country representing sanity,
what is going to happen is Republicans are going to
say sorry. Democrats are going to say the reason why
we lost is because of racism, and that's going to
(34:35):
be their storyline going into twenty twenty four to try
and justify why they lost in twenty twenty two. And
then they're also probably going to have to explain why
they might pass over the first female black vice president
for a different candidate the Democrat Party because they think
that Kamala can't get have done. That will be and
it won't be fascinatingly to watch the we lost because
(34:56):
of racism. Oh, by the way, we're not actually going
to have Kamala, Harris says, a standard bearer of the
Democrat Party, because we have no confidence in her. It'll
just be an interesting situation they put themselves in. They're hoping,
because Biden's already pledged to put a black woman on
the Supreme Court, that Stephen Bryer is going to step down.
This is my thesis, and then they're going to try
and put a lot of pressure on Kamala, and that
(35:17):
would need to happen, by the way, Briar stepping down
at some point this summer to allow theoretically the Democrats
to muscle in a replacement for Briar before we get
into the midterms, and it becomes virtually impossible to replace anyone.
By the way, speaking of impossible, it would be impossible
for me not to give shouts out to our listeners
who wanted to let me know, Clay, You're an imbecile
(35:39):
for not referencing Sloan Peterson from Ferris Bueller and Phoebe
Kates from Fast Time at Ridgemont Coy. You know, I've
got your back against everyone who comes at you. They
got a point. They're right there, They're right there. I
blew it. Those are we were talking about nineteen eighties
movie women's stars because we got onto a karate kid
(36:00):
meeting Cobra Kai Kick no pun intended there. That has
been underway for four seasons. Now we have so much
more to get to and we're gonna do it with
you here tomorrow. Please, you gonna tell somebody about the show,
especially if you can share the podcast with them so
they can give it a listen. Then they can tune
in on their local affiliate. You know about four hundred
and forty four hundred fifty affiliates across the country, so
pretty easy to find one in your area. And tomorrow
(36:22):
we're gonna have Alex Parentson on Barrens. Is gonna be
dropping Barrens and bombs, folks. I don't know what else
to say. I mean when you hear what he wants
to talk about and the data behind it. It's gonna
be very interesting. Plus Senator Ron Johnson, he's always worth
while and fun. We'll talk to him everybody else tune
in then, thanks for being here. Clay and Buck. Over
and out. You're listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
