Sen. Ron Johnson Drops Some Frightening Covid Data

21 Sep 2021

CLAY: We are joined by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who was on with us a couple of months ago. Senator, I appreciate you taking the time to join the show, and I want to start with this question for you. I got asked and we’ve been debating a little bit, how does covid ever end, when we seem to have a process now in place that presumes covid zero, which is impossible to ever reach? When do masks disappear? When do great majorities of the rest of the country just get it get back to normal? How does this plane ever land? How does covid normalcy ever return to the country?

SEN. JOHNSON: Well, I think most Americans want it to end as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there’s so many people in power that seem to want it to go on forever.

CLAY: Yep.

SEN. JOHNSON: You know, the Spanish flu took couple years. You have that pandemic filter through the global population; then people moved on. I’m concerned that this is one disease that we picked out and said, “We can’t allow it to spread,” even though very early on in the pandemic you had epidemiologists saying, “You can’t really prevent people from getting infected.”

What you can do is you can flatten the curve so we don’t overwhelm the health care systems. That was kind of barring the development of an effective vaccine, which could limit the number of infections. I’m not sure this one will because now variants are emerging that seem to be defeating the vaccine. You take a look at numbers out of Israel. You take a look at numbers out of the U.K.

I wish we had numbers in the U.S., but our CDC, FDA, NIH are not being transparent. I’m not sure they’re being forthright. I’m not sure they’re being completely honest with the American public, and that’s unfortunate. So, we have to look to other countries to see what their experience is.

And, unfortunately — this is very unfortunate. It doesn’t look like the vaccine’s holding up very well against Delta. The most recent technical brief by Public Health England shows that overall in 2021, 70% of deaths were in partially or fully vaccinated individuals, 30% on the unvaxxed. The most recent time, August 2nd to September 21st, it’s about 74% in fully vaccinated verses 26% in the unvaxxed. So, again, that’s unfortunate. I wish, I hope — God, I wish — the vaccines were 100% effective, 100% safe, but it doesn’t appear they are.

BUCK: Senator Johnson, it’s Buck. We have, what, 1.3 million apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border. That’s people that have crossed into the U.S. in violation of federal law. We had, what, over 6,000 per day for the last two months. And yet we’re being told by Secretary Mayorkas that they’re working on it, the border is not open, and this is just a “challenge.”

How are they trying to meet this challenge? What is the federal government doing other than, it seems — at least to some of us who have observed this problem as closely as we can — making it a smoother process for people to game the immigration system once they’ve entered illegally?

SEN. JOHNSON: So we had the secretary before my committee today and the first question I asked him is, “You repeatedly said, Mr. Secretary, that the border is closed. Do you honestly believe that?” I had my chart up there showing an incredible spike since the Biden administration took office and he stuck to it. He said, “Yeah, it’s closed,” but he said they’re executing their plan.

I mean, isn’t that great news. Unfortunately, it is their plan, and their plan is for open borders! So I guess that’s truthful. They’re executing the plan. Their plan was to open up our borders, and it’s working — and you’re exactly right. You know, when they say they’re improving the situation, they’re improving the processing.

We were down there months ago with 18 Republican senators. I was shocked to hear the CBP’s direction was to process and disperse within eight hours. They weren’t testing for covid. Right now, I think it’s still NGO groups that are doing the testing. I don’t think CBP has the capabilities of doing it. So, again, we’re locking down. We’re making all these mandates for vaccines.

But, boy, if you come to the southern border, you’re pretty well home free — and of course, in the hearing today, I just asked him, “Of the 1.3 million apprehensions, how many people have they dispersed into America?” He said, “Well, Senator, I don’t have those… I don’t have those numbers for that.”

“What do you mean, you don’t have those numbers? You obviously must have those numbers; you’re just not telling us. Now, how can you come to a hearing that you know we’re gonna be asking those questions, and you come completely unprepared?” I was… I was more than a little ticked off.

CLAY: Senator Johnson, you’re also having to deal with the budget and infrastructure and everything else that’s going on in addition to all the other chaos out there. What are you hearing about what Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema might be willing to accede to in terms of a Biden budget? Do you think it happens this year? How does infrastructure end up playing out? What are you hearing as it pertains to these major pieces of legislation?

SEN. JOHNSON: Well, the good news is seems like Democrats are having some real troubles. I think Joe Manchin either in an op-ed or publicly has said that he’ll only agree to about one to one or $1.5 trillion. Of course, Bernie — the Bernie budget — says it’s $3.5 trillion, but we know it’s more like $5 trillion to $5.5 trillion ’cause they’re creating new entitlements, but the only score them for a few years.

And we all know as Ronald Reagan said, “The closest thing to eternal life on this earth is a government program.” So they’re being very dishonest in their scoring of these things. But the AOCs of the world, they’re not gonna be satisfied unless they get the full Bernie budget. They’re not even really happen with that.

It doesn’t mortgage our kids’ future enough for AOC and Bernie Sanders. But we’ll just see whether it’s gonna be budget gimmickry that they lower the score. For example, rather than score new entitlement five years, maybe they just peel it back to one, knowing that once you grant new entitlement, it just never goes away. So I don’t know how this ends. I hope they don’t get what they want because it’s gonna be devastating for our children’s future.

BUCK: We’re speaking to Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. And, Senator, the Biden administration has had a rough go of it on the foreign policy front for the last… Well, you could say from the beginning, but certainly for the last couple of months, given the situation Afghanistan and the recent revelation that there was an air strike that was supposed to stop a mass casualty terror attack, but actually the air strike killed 10 civilians including seven children.

The media is not putting much focus on that. After the Biden administration’s remarks — or Joe Biden’s remarks, I should say — at the U.N. General Assembly this morning, do you think that we’re just heading for a replay of all the approaches, the failed approaches of the Obama administration over eight years when it comes to America’s role in the world?

SEN. JOHNSON: Yeah. I have to unfortunately answer “yes.” I’m reminded of Robert Gates, Obama’s defense secretary, who said that Vice President Biden has been wrong on every major foreign policy decision for the last 40 years. And of course, President Obama famously said behind the scenes “do not underestimate,” Vice President Biden’s “ability to F things up,” and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

It’s incredibly incompetent what they’re doing, right? Just saying it’s due to incompetence is being kind to them! This is their policy. I mean, they wanted open borders. We’re getting it. And what we’re seeing is we’re going to seeing the chaos ensuing from their policy decisions. This was what they want.

They wanted to surrender from Afghanistan. They wanted to pull out incredibly quick against all the advice from so many people, even on a bipartisan basis in the Senate. There would have been support for leaving, you know, Special Operations Forces there to support the Afghan security forces and keep the Taliban at bay. But nope!

He was gonna do it his way — and of course his way has been a disaster, a bunch of rolling disasters. That is the hallmark of this administration. So I wish there was a bright future here over the next three and a half years, but I am highly concerned and so are a growing number of Americans as well. Millions are concerned about what’s happening.

CLAY: Senator Johnson, I asked you to start this interview, “How do we get back to normalcy?” I will say last night in Green Bay, Wisconsin, having the Packers playing in front of a full house for the first time since the covid mess began, seeing all the Wisconsin Badger fans in your home state jumping around for the opening game against Penn State and how that went viral…

Are a lot of people in America, football fans in particular, just saying, “We’re over it; the best way to get back to normal is by living our normal lives”? When I see hundreds of thousands of fans packed closely together without masks celebrating and enjoying football games, I feel like that’s the best version of America that we can have right now relative to this difference between blue state and red state. Millions of college football and NFL fans going to games seem to be, in many ways, leading us back to normalcy.

SEN. JOHNSON: No, I think after the huge surge late last year, we came down out of that. The pandemic was kind of waning before the vaccinations began. Now we have the new surge. But, you know, most people kind of look back over the last nine months to a year and said, “Well, I survived it.”

I know a lot of people that had it and many of them just had sniffles for a couple days or lost their smell and regained it. So, again, there are tens, probably more than a hundred million Americans that got covid and survived. And so they’re just looking at the reality situation. They have natural immunity.

They realize because now we have science telling us it’s 27 times more effective than the vaccine. So people are just ignoring the inconsistent advice from the federal health agencies, because they realize they haven’t been honest with us, they hadn’t been transparent. So people have just decided, listen.

This is… You know, covid’s gonna be around. We’re gonna have to live with it, whether you had it or didn’t have it. You know, I had it. I was asymptomatic, and we’ve never really explained why 40 to 50% of people had asymptomatic covid. Was it because we already had natural immunity to a similar type of coronavirus?

And, again, natural immunity is so good that it even recognize this new one, maybe a new one that was manmade? Again, so many unanswered questions, so many things that do not make sense, like, why not early treatment? I think you guys know, I’ve been banging my head against the wall on that one since literally March of 2020.

And we just cannot get the health agencies to seriously take up the case whether it’s ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine. I can’t remember… I can’t pronounce all these names. There is a cornucopia of available generic drugs that can be employed. But the CDC has no interest in it. The NIH guidelines to this day basically are saying, “If you get tested for covid, go home, isolate yourself, be afraid. If you get so sick, come in the hospital and, hey, we’ll pump you full of Remdesivir.” This is madness what’s happening.

BUCK: Senator Ron Johnson, thank you so much for being with us, sir. We appreciate it.

SEN. JOHNSON: Have a great day. Stay well.

CLAY: Thank you.

Why Are Thousands of Haitians Suddenly at the Border?

21 Sep 2021

CLAY: We begin with a big question: How is it that suddenly, between 12,000 and 14,000 would-be immigrants illegally cross the border — most of them from Haiti, which is an island nation? How have they suddenly all ended up simultaneously in Del Rio, Texas, in such massive numbers? Remember, Del Rio, Texas, only has around 35,000 people who live in that town in general, and it hasn’t been a traditional hot spot in terms of border crossings, at least not historically.

What happened? Who may have paid or financed this number of people to suddenly make their way from South America? How did all of these Haitians end up in South America in the first place to make an attempt to cross the border in the United States? These are all big questions that need to be answered, but we begin with Secretary Mayorkas who has finally made a trip down to the border. He was asked whether or not this was a crisis, and he essentially refused to answer.

MAYORKAS: I don’t think we expected the rapidity of the increase that occurred. We are realistic about the human tragedy of this, but we have a responsibility not only to the well-being of the migrants themselves, but the well-being of the local communities and the American public.

CLAY: Joe Biden was asked about this situation. It’s one of many crises that are currently occurring in the midst of his failed first-year presidency. And our Dear Leader, well, he didn’t have much to say.

BIDEN HANDLER: Thanks guys, let’s go!

REPORTER: Mr. President, do you [inaudible] Haitian migrants [inaudible] —

BIDEN HANDLER: Thank you guys, let’s go. Thank you, let’s go. Thank you, let’s go. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s go, thank you. Come on, guys! Let’s go. Thank you. Let’s go, let’s go. Thank you. Come on, let’s go.

BUCK: That’s gotta be quite a job, Clay.

CLAY: Oh, yes.

BUCK: They shut down the press so they can’t actually get mumbling, stumbling Joe to say anything about this.

CLAY: It sounds like a kindergarten class.

BUCK: To your question about the coordination, I will tell you, I just spoke yesterday to a friend on Border Patrol at some length about this, and they don’t know, they don’t know yet exactly how it’s gone. But I do know that in other situations — and this goes back to the caravans coming out of South America, particularly out of Honduras and El Salvador.

It’s social media coordination — so individuals who coordinate on social media — and then the coyotes, the human smugglers working for the cartels will contact different groups and work with them, communicate with them and obviously set up the payment system.

I was down in the Rio Grande section seeing this. You could see, Clay, all over the place these little wristbands that had been discarded to show that people, every individual — man, woman, and child crossing — had paid. Just to give everyone a sense of how much of a business this is, it was like one of those nightclubs.

Instead of a stamp or a bracelet for a nightclub, you’re doing it for a drug cartel that’s getting thousands of dollars a head to bring you in so there is digital coordination and with the cartels as well they decide that they’re gonna start moving groups of people. What’s so interesting about this is obviously getting from Haiti to Mexico is not a simple thing.

But a lot of, even most of these Haitian migrants are coming out of South America. They have already fled Haiti and for some reason believe that now was a good time. I think we all know it’s ’cause the Biden’s in charge. Now is a particularly good time to try to play the system and get into the United States illegally.

So that’s the sum total what I could get from Border Patrol yesterday was basically, “We know there’s coordination. We know it’s a major operation. They’re not coming from Haiti for the most part. They’re actually coming from countries south of Mexico.”

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: And they don’t have much information on the logistics yet of how this was organized and why now. So these are big questions. If we had a different administration, I think they’d want to get more to the bottom of it. I have a feeling this administration would rather sit around and let this pass.

CLAY: And what’s intriguing about it, too, is it feels set up in the context of, if you watched and saw all of the attention for Border Patrol who are on horses and their attempt to restrain people, that went viral. “Oh, my God. They’re whipping Haitians, would-be Haitian immigrants.” It feels set up as a distraction of sorts. Right?

BUCK: That was a lie too. They weren’t whipping. Just to be clear for everybody, the story that went viral — and even Jen Psaki weighed in on this one saying, “Oh, it looks so horrible. Extremely troubling,” the usual stuff. Well, it’s not extremely troubling if it’s not true, right? A thing that did not happen should not be described by the White House press secretary as extremely troubling, but we all understand this is the favorite media game.

Getting Numb to the Dumbness of the Biden Regime

21 Sep 2021

REPORTER: Mr. Secretary, so you’ve stated repeatedly that this is a challenge, but last month you were recorded privately saying that what’s been happening along the border is unstable and that there is a crisis. So, I’m asking, “Would you publicly admit right now —

MAYORKAS: You know, I’ve got to — I’ve got to — I’m going to stop right there. Let me just say very clearly: We are focused on meeting the challenge. We are focused on mission.

BUCK: The challenge of getting as many illegal immigrants into the country by bending and bending over backwards when it comes to U.S. law. Welcome back to the Clay and Buck show. This is Buck. That was DHS Secretary Mayorkas. And what you have to know, you have to filter everything they say about the crisis at the southern border through a very specific lens.

That is, the Biden administration — because of the open-borders Democrat left, because of The Squad and because of the progressive vanguard within the Democrat Party that’s calling a lot of the shots — they don’t want the same outcome that you would think they would want when it comes to the border based on their pretense that there’s law and order as a concept that we all share.

We all want the same thing, Clay, at the border — except we don’t, because they benefit from this politically and the problem that they have is not one of lawlessness. It is not the enriching of the cartels through this whole process. Remember, migrants have to pay whether they get turned away or not once they get taken to the border.

Migrants have to make the cartels more powerful and influential in Mexico and the transfer lines that are set up here regardless. But Clay, all this is going on. And the issue for the Democrats is one of optics. It’s not people are scheming our system, gaming our system, getting around the immigration laws, taking advantage of the goodness of the American people.

It’s this looks bad. We better get those drones out of their airspace over there ASAP, because the American people are seeing what the Biden administration’s foreign policy… Not foreign policy. Well, it is kind of a foreign policy issue, but border policy looks like.

CLAY: Well, and also remember AOC showing up in that all-white outfit and having her photo taken with her hand raised with the kids that were in the Border Patrol cages supposedly created by the Trump administration that actually were created under the Obama administration. And I think the essence of this is what should be getting hammered home time after time.

And I wonder on some level when all of the crises that are befalling the Biden administration right now actually help in regards to the chaos at the border, because there’s so much askew, there’s so much adrift in terms of what we are doing right now as a country, Buck, that any one failure doesn’t stand out. Does that make sense?

It’s not like there’s one bad thing and everybody can focus on that. There are so many incompetences going on right now in the Biden administration, including Joe Biden himself. And we haven’t even hardly talked about the U.N. speech because it was such a nonentity in many ways in terms of actually saying anything. But there’s a lot of distractions. Does that make sense?

BUCK: Yeah, of course!

CLAY: There are so many bad things, people don’t even pay attention to the border.

BUCK: We are getting numb to the dumbness of the Biden administration. We’re seeing so much go on here that you say, “How could they make…?” But, see, this is why I think the border is so critical, Clay. They say it’s a “challenge,” and they’re right insofar as it’s a challenge of optics for left-wing socialist Democrats. (chuckles)

It’s a crisis to you and me and the people listening who want an orderly, rule-of-law-based immigration system, who want rule of law at our southern border. It’s a crisis to those people. We don’t see this the same way, left and right, Democrats and Republicans, the Biden administration and conservatives in this country.

It’s not just that the outcome is a little bit different here but we’re ultimately trying to get to the same place. They have a fundamentally different vision of what America’s immigration policy should be, and it’s “Bring in as many people from the developing world as possible so they will vote Democrat.”

C&B Attempt to Unwind the NYC Vaccine Passport Brawl

21 Sep 2021

BUCK: I’m here in New York City, and the reality of the covid policies here is that they’re completely insane. They’re haphazard. There are a lot of people walking around with masks on. And, as I said to Clay, I could walk around and say (sobbing), “Where is your N95 mask? Why don’t you take the virus seriously!”

But the fact that they’re wearing masks outside at all I think is now, for most people, evidence of a nervous or anxiety disorder of some kind. They’ve been so brainwashed by CNN and other sthat they can’t help it. But from the very beginning, Clay and I have been discussing how when you institute a vaccine passport here in New York, you’re going to be disproportionately affecting members of the African-American community, the Latino community in New York City. And that hasn’t stopped it. In fact, if anything, the narrative continues to be that the only people that have a problem with this are, you know, red-staters out by Clay in Tennessee in the Midwest and Texas and Florida.

CLAY: White Trump voters. White Trump voters is the problem.

BUCK: Trump voters. That’s right. The narrative you see from media across the board. So, what happened here in New York? We got a lot of things coming together, and I want to just lay out some of the facts of the case and then turn to Clay for some legal analysis of the situation.

CLAY: I was just watching… Have you seen the video?

BUCK: Yes, yes. Of course.

CLAY: So I was just watching up by watching the video.

BUCK: So there’s video. So we kind of know what happened here.

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: So you have a restaurant, well known restaurant the Upper West Side of New York called Carmine’s.

CLAY: Have you been there?

BUCK: A long time ago, yeah. It’s been a while. It’s been years. But I know the place.

CLAY: For people who are not from New York City, this is a famous New York City restaurant.

BUCK: It’s a well-known place.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: Yeah. It’s a place that people go when they come to New York sometimes. So there’s a restaurant. There are three black women who enter the restaurant. There’s an Asian, I believe Asian-American hostess —

CLAY: Yeah, that’s right.

BUCK: — who seats them after they show their vaccine passports. Then three black men come to join the three black women who have been seated without issue or incident. They showed their vaccine passports; they’re sitting down. Before we get into any of this, I hate that they have to show their vaccine passports.

I disagree that anybody should have to do this, and I share a baseline of frustration with anybody. Clay, we’ll jump on this for one second because we’re about to take this in a very different direction with the BLM protest and everything. But I’m with these individuals insofar as I want to throw things and get angry every time I have to go through one of these vax passport ordeals in New York.

CLAY: We should say, too, the initial way that I saw this story covered, which goes to how narrative dictates media covered today, was, “Three women from Texas got into a fight.” I don’t know if you saw this initial way that it was being reported. It was, “Three women from Texas got into a fight with a hostess at Carmine’s in New York City over a demand that they show their vaccine cards.”

BUCK: Right.

CLAY: That was the way it was covered.

BUCK: That was the initial framing of the story.

CLAY: The framing of the story in most people’s minds was, “Oh, these are three white women? Trump supporters from Texas,” right? That’s the way that I saw it conveyed, like liberal people were sharing this story before more details came out. So now we know three black women from Texas.

BUCK: It got taken in a very different direction very quickly, whereas initially, I think what Clay’s getting to is if it had been three white female Trump supporters, let’s just say, again —

CLAY: Just three white women from Texas.

BUCK: Three white women from Texas.

CLAY: It would have been “Trump supporters refusing!” Yes.

BUCK: Yes. Then the story is, you know, anti-vax lunatics causing a fight, whatever. But because it was actually three black women involved and three black men who came to meet them, the media narrative shifted very quickly — and in fact, here is what happened. We haven’t gotten to the facts. The three men who showed up; two of them did not have vaccine proof.

So they were asked to leave, which happens in restaurants now all across the city day in and day out. They were serious about this. You cannot go into places unless you’re vaccinated. They will enforce it in most places, in Manhattan at least. So two of them aren’t able to stay. The woman, the hostess, says, “You must leave,” to the two men who don’t have vaccine passports.

Well, obviously then the whole group is going to leave ’cause they can’t all eat together, which I also totally understand. But then the three women caused the confrontation that’s on the video, and physically assaulted and actually attacked — assault and battery — the hostess in this restaurant: Pushing her, hitting her, punching her, that kind of stuff.

They were arrested, and then they got a lawyer and afterwards the lawyer said, “Oh, a racial slur was used,” and so it was, quote, “mutual combat” that occurred in this restaurant over the vax passport issue. A lot of things here, but first I would just say: I’m sorry. I think that’s a little too convenient after the fact. I think that is a lie.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: I think it’s very unfortunate that people now sometimes will throw that out there as a means of trying to evade accountability or responsibility in an incident like this. Because now, as you know, the media narrative is a racist incident, Clay — and, oh, by the way, Black Lives Matter is protesting the restaurant!

CLAY: All of this is perfect, right? So let me just kind of take you through the narrative directions that we have gone, ’cause I do think this is a perfect story for our day. The way that I initially saw this story portrayed was, “Three women from Texas refuse to show their vaccine cards at Carmine’s and attacked the hostess,” and the way that it was being shared…

I saw a bunch of blue checks sharing it with the idea being, “Oh, this is what Trump’s America is like! People don’t want to get vaccinated. They show up in New York. They attack someone who’s asking them for vaccines,” right? Vaccine passports. Then the story comes out, “Oh, these are three black women from Texas.”

And then the additional story of, “Actually, those three women had their vaccine cards.” The men who showed up, two of the three men did not. And then the story becomes, after these women get arrested, oh, there was a racial slur. Now, I don’t know this Asian woman. I watched the video to make sure that I could see the fracas.

It was a fairly substantial fracas surrounding the hostess stand there outside Carmine’s. I’m not an expert, Buck, but it seems highly unlikely to me that if you were working at a popular New York restaurant and you are relatively young, that your first response would be to yell a racial slur at someone over vaccine cards.

BUCK: They are lying.

CLAY: Yeah. That seems unlikely to me. I always hate to say 100%way or the other.

BUCK: They’re 99% lying.

CLAY: It’s highly unlikely to me that this Asian woman did this.

BUCK: Confronted by three women who are physically larger than she is.

CLAY: Physically imposing. There’s no way that a hostess wants to get into a fight with three people simultaneously, right?

BUCK: No matter. Yeah. The woman is diminutive, the hostess here.

CLAY: Right.

BUCK: She’s 24 years old. She wants to keep her job. One thing I can assure you: Every single human being in New York City knows if you use a racial slur against a customer in the establishment, you are definitely fired, and your life might be ruined. So that’s why I find it so odious —

CLAY: So unlikely.

BUCK: I work unlikely, but also odious to make that kind of a false allegation, because now let’s add into this that there’s a protest that has already happened — a BLM protest — outside this restaurant. They’re causing a ruckus. They’re calling the restaurant racist.

CLAY: Is this going on today?

BUCK: It’s already happened. This has already occurred.

CLAY: It’s a multiday protest, I guess is what I’m seeing.

BUCK: They already had one protest. Maybe they had more than one day. I haven’t seen the day’s coverage from this afternoon yet, but they are calling the restaurant racist. So I’m just wondering. People of color, for example, who may work, say, in the kitchen and are trying to pay their bills, feed their families, working hard.

So now the revenue for the restaurant goes down; people don’t show up. These kinds of things are… Again, assuming it’s a lie — and I am assuming that the allegation of racism here is a lie. I’m sorry. I don’t buy it. There are consequences to that. This is not consequence free.

CLAY: I also think this is significant. Even if she used a racial slur, it doesn’t give three people the right to beat her ass. Right?

BUCK: Correct.

CLAY: We have created this world where we make a big, logical leap from words to actions. Look, I wish no one ever used racial slurs. I wish no one ever used hateful language. I wish no one ever said anything bad to someone else, right? But just because you are insulted or just because someone says something offensive to you, doesn’t give you the right to attack them without any further provocation, right? There is a difference between words and actions. This kind of goes to what I was talking about, Buck.

BUCK: Words and violence, really. This is violence is what we’re talking about here.

CLAY: But we’re talking about an action. There’s a difference between a physical action and words. This kind of goes to our allowing of Twitter and social media to take over. Like, the Biden administration’s harshly worded letter to the Taliban, right?

That’s a Twitter-directed response, right, where you pay much attention to words as you do to acts of physical violence. So even if this 24-year-old, you said, Asian hostess actually said something that was offensive, it doesn’t give the right for three women to attack her at her hostess stand on the sidewalk.

BUCK: They committed a crime.

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: Now, in addition to… But, see, this is why I sympathize with the frustration that those three women had.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: I absolutely sympathize with the frustration.

CLAY: I got it.

BUCK: It should not be directed — and this is why the lack of accountability for the covid madness is so just enraging for all of us. It is not the hostess’s fault that her management fears massive fines from the city government of New York, so it’s not her fault.

CLAY: It’s not her choice in any way.

BUCK: And you cannot attack her because you are frustrated. That said, this is how society is being turned —

CLAY: We are breaking apart.

BUCK: — against each other on stuff that simply should never happen because they never should have had this rule in the first place. But it is also troubling that yet again, now, this woman… Who knows? This could have long-term implications for her reputation. Even false accusations of racism can often linger, Clay, when they get online.

CLAY: Oh, there’s no doubt.

Project Veritas Bombshell on Vaccine Side Effects

21 Sep 2021

BUCK: A Project Veritas bombshell has dropped here. James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas does a lot of undercover journalism work exposing the left in a variety of fashions. Recently, a lot of it has been left-wing media bias in places like CNN, but also now on vaccinations. Here’s what you would think:

There should be no question in any of our minds that we are told fully and completely any and all complications that arise from people taking the vaccines — talking about side effects here, right? — because how else can we as a society know? Especially given that the government is instituting mandates of all different kinds around this, how can we judge what’s a good idea and what’s not?

Put aside for a moment that I think the mandates are overreach and tyrannical. But how could we even know whether we should be for or against this if we weren’t fully given access to the data, the numbers, the reality of it? Well, Project Veritas has a federal whistleblower here going on the record about hiding of government data, essentially.

Making the claim that not everything that happens as a result of people taking this vaccine is shared in the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) database, which is why you’re supposed to have everything. Even if it’s not thoroughly vetted and verified, if there’s an actual report from a person who got vaccine, it’s supposed to go into VAERS if there is a side effect.

Here’s what this Project Veritas whistleblower says.

MARIA GONZALES: The government doesn’t want to show that the darn vaccine is full of s(bleep).

JODI O’MALLEY: Now, you got this guy in Room Four who got his second dose of vaccine on Tuesday and has been short of breath.

MARIA GONZALES: Mmm-hmm! He’s got probably myocarditis!

JODI O’MALLEY: Yes!

MARIA GONZALES: All this is bulls(bleep). Now probably myocarditis due to the vaccine.

JODI O’MALLEY: Right.

MARIA GONZALES: But now, they are not going to blame the vaccine.

JODI O’MALLEY: Well and you know what? But he has an obligation to report that doesn’t he?

MARIA GONZALES: They are not reporting.

JODI O’MALLEY: Right!

DEANNA PARIS: It’s a shame they are not treating people —

JODI O’MALLEY: I know!

DEANNA PARIS: — like they’re supposed to, like they should. I think they want people to die.

JODI O’MALLEY: How many have you seen that have gotten vaccinated here?

DEANNA PARIS: That got sick from the side effects? A lot.

JODI O’MALLEY: A lot!

DEANNA PARIS: Have you seen it too?

JODI O’MALLEY: Yeah, and I’m like, “Who’s writing the VAERS reports?”

DEANNA PARIS: Nobody, because it takes over a half hour to write the damn thing.

JODI O’MALLEY: Right!

BUCK: Clay, I think there’s plenty of reasons to ask questions about how thorough the reporting is about side effects.

CLAY: (sigh) It’s so frustrating. You heard Senator Ron Johnson with us in the last segment. We just don’t have the data. When we have to constantly be looking at Israel and we have to constantly be looking at England and presuming that their data is so much better than hours as it pertains to the vaccine.

You heard Senator Johnson say, hey, the most recent data from England — I think it was England — over 70% of the people who were dying of covid now (or “with covid,” we should always say), have been double vaccinated or at least once vaccinated. And that’s why this whole sort of brass ring that the Biden administration has been holding out for everyone is in many ways not reflective of the real data.

If we had 100% of people who were vaccinated in this country, it’s not as if covid would go away. And there’s a huge percentage of left-wingers out there who believe that if 100% of people were vaccinated, this thing would go away.

Los Angeles Exempted the Emmys from Covid Rules

21 Sep 2021

CLAY: The Emmys took place on Sunday, Buck, and we kind of talked about this a little bit. If you were watching, you might have said, “Hey, this looks totally normal.” None of the actors and actresses, none of the comedians up on the stage making jokes — none of them — had masks on at all. I tweeted about this because we’ve been focused…

We hear from a lot of you out in L.A. about the Draconian restrictions that are in place right now for kids, right? If you have a 2-year-old in day care in L.A. County, they have to wear masks. If you have a kindergartener in L.A. County in school, they have to wear masks. And so I’m sitting around today saying, “Wait.

“If we’re gonna require 2-year-olds to wear masks, why do all these super-wealthy celebrities at the Emmys not have to wear masks?” And they tried to put out a statement explaining why after many people asked that same question that we were asking yesterday:

“How is it that we ended up with this totally divergent situation where…?” Now, they said it was a tent, but it was effectively indoors. There’s no social distancing, and everything is completely normal for the Emmys, but your kids can’t go to day care without masks.

BUCK: This is too good. This is too good.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: This is the best. So usually, we sit here and we would say to everybody, “Oh, my gosh. Look at the hypocrisy at work here,” right? So there’s different versions of this. You have the mayor of San Francisco London Breed, for example, a version where she just says (summarized), “I’m important. I’m powerful. My friends and I were having fun. I don’t care what you say.”

CLAY: “Don’t be the fun police.” She actually said, “Don’t be the fun police.”

BUCK: Yes. That’s one version of this. Okay, fine. What happened with the Emmys is even more enraging but also, folks, it’s so perfect at the same time. Here’s what they ended up putting out, what they ended up telling everybody. They were not, in fact in… See, what Clay just laid out is, “This makes no sense. Adults are more at risk and more likely to spread the virus.

“The vaccine does not prevent you from spreading the virus, as we all know. Children are very low risk, very low.” Also, they leave this out now, and I don’t know if this has allegedly changed because of data, but children are also — and have been from the beginning — less likely to spread the virus, probably because their immune systems clear it so quickly as well. That’s a part of this. Right? If you’re sick for a week, it’s more likely you’re gonna have a viral load that’s higher than if you clear this in 24 or 48 hours with no symptoms.

CLAY: Most kids never know they had it.

BUCK: Exactly, and some children do. But the part of this that’s great, folks — and this is important. This is not just something that we sit here and say, “Look at these clowns,” although we’re doing that, too. The Los Angeles Health Department has in place an exemption — an exemption for TV production and stars who are considered performers in a TV production.

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: So essentially because the Emmys, they treat it like it’s one big TV show. It’s almost like they’re filming an on-set soap opera or something. So everybody there is technically in compliance because they knew the whole tent thing, by the way, that was really weak sauce. So everyone there was in compliance. So this is the difference, Clay.

We have now actually gone to the point where it’s not just the different implementation of the rules or the hypocrisy around them. This is now like Orwell’s Animal Farm where they’re changing the rules to specifically benefit certain favored groups. Now we’ve gone just a few steps further than what we had before where, “Okay, we let some people slide and others don’t.” No. Now it’s Clay has to wear a mask, but the guy Jason Sudeikis does not have to wear a mask. That’s the way this goes.

CLAY: And it’s entirely based on the profession. You may remember this, Buck. I think it was back maybe last May or June. Do you remember when they shut down the woman’s bar in L.A. County, bar/restaurant, from being able to be open, literally in the parking lot?

BUCK: Yeah, she had a huge outdoor area. She spent all the money to build it. This is the perfect example. She set up all this money to set up hurry outdoor dining and Governor Gavin Newsom — who California voted to keep around, unfortunately — had this ordinance in place where if you’re doing TV or movie production ’cause they right big checks and they’re important to politicians, you eating in a big group of people outside, that was okay.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: But if you were running like a local sandwich shop or barbecue joint or pizzeria, your eating outside is a public health hazard. And if you disagree with that, Clay, you’re a monster who wants old people to die.

CLAY: And that video was so perfect because she had created this outdoor seating area in the parking lot, and they were literally filming and doing the casting and the feeding of the crew in the parking lot next door to her. They were allowed to have hundreds of people eating underneath their tent. She was not allowed to have her business open next door. This is where all of these absurdities get exposed on a perfect level.

BUCK: This is also, though, why it’s so pernicious — honestly, it’s evil — to keep hammering these narratives of the good people and the bad people during covid. I would argue the only bad people are the tyrants that are making us do stupid things.

CLAY: I agree with you.

BUCK: But there’s this notion that there are the people that have been fighting covid and doing every they can. Other people who are most pro-covid. They actually will make jokes. They’ll say this, you know, that people, what’s her name over at MSNBC —

CLAY: Joy Reid at MSNBC said this.

BUCK: — last week she said, “Republicans love covid.” They’ve convinced themselves of this. But, Clay, because that narrative has been so consistent among the media, the Democrats, the left now for so many months, they actually have reached a point — you’re seeing it — where they believe that different rules that elevate them, that exempt them are warranted and fair.

They believe… You know, this is Animal Farm: “Four legs good, two legs bad.” No, they’re saying, “Two legs bad, except for the pigs who can walk around on two legs with monocles and sleep indoors on beds and pretend that they’re humans,” as they did in Animal Farm. That is the situation.

CLAY: When we come back, I want to talk about this, too, because I think it also exposes how little fear there is. When you hear London Breed say, “I was having a great time,” the mayor of San Francisco, “and so you shouldn’t be able to be the fun police.”

What it’s also illuminating is many of these people, I think, see the same data that we’re seeing. They’re just not willing to stand up to the fearful in their bases. They’ll live their own lives without fear, and without following the rules that they’re trying to force the rest of us to follow. It’s really pretty fascinating.

BUCK: Yeah, somehow, they want everyone else to be really scared. They’re not scared.

CLAY: They’re not scared at all.

BUCK: But they want you to be scared ’cause it’s easier. The best way to control people as we all know especially at a mass media level, is fear. Fear goes right into that part of the brain that allows those who want to to control you.
