What Does Dorsey’s Exit at Twitter Mean for Free Speech?

29 Nov 2021

CLAY: Twitter. Jack Dorsey has been the CEO for a long time. Jack Dorsey is no great friend of conservatives or people who just embrace freedom of speech or freedom of debate, but he’s better than a lot of people in Big Tech have been. He has now been replaced. He decided to resign this morning, and he is being replaced by a man — and I may mispronounce his name because I don’t know him; I’m not familiar with him — named Parag Agrawal.

In 2010, Parag Agrawal tweeted as follow: “If they’re not gonna make a distinction between Muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists?” Do you feel like freedom of speech is going to be better at Twitter without Jack Dorsey, given this new guy who is coming in to take over just based on those tweets alone?

It’s gonna get ugly. And, frankly, the whole “build your new tech,” “build your whole internet,” I feel like that’s gonna have to happen before all is said and done, Buck. I think you and I are gonna end up getting banned on Twitter and a lot of other people are.

BUCK: Well, see, this is the thing. It’s hard to imagine, but there are more left-wing woke people — substantially more — in Silicon Valley, not even just as a general proposition, who could be running places like Facebook and Twitter. Mark Zuckerberg is a Democrat. I don’t know if Mark Zuckerberg is a super-left woke Democrat, right?

Now we’re starting to break down the levels of leftism and Marxism and who’s where on the Democrat spectrum, and if you have somebody who is truly woke as a CEO, Clay, you could have a total clampdown on speech. It won’t be everything, but it will be things like questioning Fauci, anything about January 6th they don’t like — and this is pernicious.

It’s a very real concern. They did it before to help Biden win the last election with the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop. We all know it. And now, Clay, your point about building our own internet, they kind of sneered at us on the right. But Rumble, Locals, there are some serious, serious folks — you and I know them — who have come together building not even true conservative platforms, even. Free speech platforms, which that’s where we are now. The left is the enemy of free speech in this country. That’s been very clear for a while.

We’re Failing to Make Basic Risk Assessments for Kids

29 Nov 2021

BUCK: Why should kids get the shot? It’s a fair question, right? I think we’re allowed to ask the question. I don’t know. They’ll probably come after me for just asking. But why should children — given the risk parameters — get the shot, right? This is something that we should all ask. The push for that is gonna be even more.

Last week they were talking — on Friday, even — about Omicron might be more dangerous to kids, and then they said, “Well, hold on. Where is the data on that?” Turns out there really isn’t any, no meaningful data. They found a cluster of one place where there seemed to be a slight uptick in child hospitalizations. But we’re talking about a handful of children, a small number.

I think it might even been in the single digits. It’s not a lot. So you say, “Okay. Well, then why would they even say that?” Ah, well, if they have to lead you in the direction of every man, woman, and child in the country and in fact the world… And remember that. They want the whole world vaccinated. I mean, all — what are we at — seven billion people? And everyone who doesn’t do it is, according to the consensus in this country, the likely petri dish.

They have actually no idea, right? They can never really track this stuff to one individual but they’re putting people at risk for more variants if you don’t get the shot. That is the consensus opinion from the Fauciites, including children I would suppose. I don’t know. There’s so much here that’s still underway and under discussion. But at what level of risk are kids?

Marc Lamont Hill is a Democrat, he’s a friend of mine, and he does a show called UpFront. Well, he, because he’s a Democrat, can actually get access to people that will not come on this show. And he asked Francis Collins a real question about why should children…? Remember, the NIH chief (for anyone who wants to know) is the head of the National Institutes of Health. Here is what this bureaucrat says.

COLLINS: I’m not sure when you give that percentage that that really conveys what most people are worried about: Is my kid at risk? I mean, go to any pediatric ICU in the country and you will see kids there with covid, some of whom are on respirators as a result, and we have seen 145 children die — uhhh, these are kids between the age of 5 and 11 — of covid-19, many of them without any predisposing medical condition that made you think they’d be vulnerable. So it may be uncommon, but it’s certainly not unheard of for kids to get really sick.

BUCK: Clay, I know you’re fired up about this and have all the data. I just wanted to say Marc, Marc Lamont Hill there said, I think, .05 or .005, I forget — a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage — end up even in the hospital when you’re talking about children. And that was his response. And to me it’s like saying, “Are you really gonna get in a car? I’ll show you a car accident victim when the car caught on fire. You’ll never get in a car again.”

CLAY: It is, to me, the most insufferable and indefensible part of the covid monstrosity that people have tried to take advantage of parental fears. I am a parent, 13-year-old, 11-year-old, 7-year-old. I know like every parent does your worst nightmare is something happening to your kid of a negative health consequence, and I hope most people out there haven’t had to deal with it.

But anybody that has knows that is a feeling in the pit of your stomach that never goes away. So when the director of the NIH talks about kids on ventilators railroad kids struggling to respond to don’t have, he did to his credit share the numbers around 130 kids have died with covid. Almost all those kids have severe comorbidities. But in the age of 5 to 11, Buck, there are 28 million kids in this country.

And I’m just gonna keep hammering it home because I think this is significant. Your kids are under more danger when you drive them to and from school, of death. Your kids are under more danger of dying of the seasonal flu. Your kids are under more danger of drowning than they are of covid. Your kids are under more danger-of-being murdered. Okay? So let’s use murder as an example.

If you were sending your kid to school every day in a full suit of body-proofing armor, they would be less likely to die if they got shot. But they also would be wildly uncomfortable, and most parents would say, “Hey, I think that’s an overreaction to the risk.” If you insisted that your kids wear arm floaties everywhere we went in case they might come in contact with a pool of water and otherwise drown, most people would say, “Hey, I don’t know that you need to have the kid in arm floaties all day long.”

If you put your kid in bubble wrap when they rode in the car with you to and from any destination, I think most people would say, “Hey, I don’t know that the bubble wrap and the helmet is necessary.” All of those things are more dangerous to your kids than covid. So when you put your kid in a mask — which does nothing to protect the kid, by the way — you are basically putting your kid in arm floaties and telling him to wear them everywhere in case he comes in contact at some point with water so he doesn’t drown.

Okay? All of this is madness. And again, murder is incredibly rare of young children; it is far more common. Dying of the seasonal flu is incredibly rare. The doctor could have said this every year. Well, you may not take the flu seriously, but if you go to any pediatric hospital in America, there are kids who are close to death from the flu. I wish no kid ever died. I wish we could eliminate it forever. We can’t.

The role of a parent, Buck, is to analyze risk and to use that risk analysis in an intelligent fashion. Credit to Marc Lamont Hill for asking that question. There’s no reason for kids to get vaccinated. They aren’t under danger from covid. Many of them, maybe even half of them or more have already had covid. You just didn’t know because most of them have it and don’t even have any symptoms, or experience it like a small cold. This is a form of madness that we have gotten focused on children and the covid vaccine at all.

BUCK: It just strikes me that the head of the National Institutes of Health essentially makes an emotional appeal to people with go look at children in the ICU and tell me they shouldn’t get the shot.

CLAY: That’s right.

BUCK: To which I would just say, “Okay, well, would you feel comfortable getting into a car if you see what happens to some people who get into a car, some children who get into a car accident and have terrible, lifelong injuries?” Of course that’s going to scare you. But you can’t live your life that way. This is a little bit like the doctors… Clay, you played sports growing up. I played sports growing up. There are always doctors you’d go to who’d say, “Look, if you never want to sprain that ankle again or pull that hamstring again, just don’t play sports.”

The are doctors will tell you, “Look, the only way to be safe is just not to do the thing.” So maybe just take up golf and do indoor swimming or something. But a lot of people say, “No, I actually… Even if it means I tear my ACL, even if it means that I’m gonna have some risk, I want to make that decision.” It’s like the doctors that want everyone to live in hermetically sealed bubbles all the time are the ones that are making the decisions at the top of the government right now.

At a philosophical level, that’s the problem. Their risk assessment is horrible. And it’s because the left and the Democrat Party created this outsized fear during Trump because it was useful politically and now they can’t control it. Now you got people double masking outside by themselves. And just one more thing. Why can’t Fauci and Collins and the others come out and say, “Hey, everybody, some of this stuff you’re doing is actually excessive?”

They never do that. They could calm people down so much. Think of the benefit it would have in New York, San Francisco, L.A., Chicago — all these cities where people walk around double masked outside — if they just said, “Guys, get the vaccine.” This is what they could say. “Everybody should get the vaccine without exception,” right? We put that aside for a second just say, “But you don’t have to wear masks outside, guys.” They could just dial the temperature down a little bit. They have no interest in doing that, ever.

CLAY: Even if they just said, “Get the vaccine and you really don’t have to worry about covid. It could still impact you —

BUCK: Yes.

CLAY: “– but statically it’s very small chance.”

BUCK: Even better example.

CLAY: And did you see, by the way, London Breed, the mayor of San Francisco, was out partying without a mask indoors again; proving that many of the people who are putting restrictions on all of us are not willing to follow their own restrictions?

    Black Friday with Buck: The South African Variant Panic

    26 Nov 2021

    BUCK: The “super strain” is what it’s called on the front page of the Drudge Report right now. We don’t know that much about this yet. We just know that there’s a variant, a covid variant that has been identified, a new one, there have been a lot of them, alpha, beta, gamma, delta — you go down the list.

    This would be also new and Nu, those who remember the ancient Greek — a new Nu variant. And it’s classified as B.1.1.529. So there’s a consultation going on today between the global health experts about what exactly it means. They found a number of these cases. Hong Kong has reported two occasions. They believe South Africa may be a primary area of spread.

    Let me tell you, everything that the experts are saying that they believe right now about where the cases are, where the cases are coming from is, of course, subject to change. They’re probably missing a whole lot — and they even will say that, if you have a press corps that managed to ask them some questions. They don’t really know. There’s a lot they don’t know.

    Is it more dangerous than covid-19 up to this point? Is it more transmissible? Is it more lethal? They don’t know. That’s where we are. There are some who are saying it’s way too early to panic.

    Now, keep in mind, governments are already taking steps. So we don’t know exactly what’s going on with this. But government is already, in a lot of European countries, and we’re now, today, the Fauciites, are all gathering together to figure out whether we could have any kind of additional restrictions imposed in this country.

    I’d be very careful about this, right, because there are some things that aren’t known. There are some things we’ll find out in the days ahead. And Fauci can be wrong as often as he wants. They can tell you the vaccine is 95 percent protective for forever, which they did when this came out, and be completely wrong about it being forever; now you need boosters. And that’s fine.

    But if you think or say anything that the data has to require an update to, in let’s say a week, month, six months, be prepared for them to say you are a crazy person who believes Fauci is actually a space lizard, because you must obey the narrative. That’s the whole point of this; you must obey or else.

    Why do they think this is a more dangerous version? Why are countries in Europe — and there’s a whole bunch of them — here are the countries that have restricted or halted entirely flights from South Africa — Bahrain, Belgium, Britain, Croatia, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malta, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore. A lot of countries.

    Now they’re focusing on South Africa. Remember when the travel ban went into effect with Trump? And of course, the media, the travel ban, it’s so dumb, why are you doing that? That was meant to give us time to prepare. Time to get hospitals — that was the very earliest days of the pandemic. We knew a whole lot less. Do the travel bans really stop coronavirus over the long term? No. Of course not. I think we could all agree on that.

    So how long will a travel ban from South Africa realistically keep the mu, this is of course going to be a new thing, Nu, the B.1.1.529 variant; they don’t name it after places because that’s mean. People get sad about that. Tell everybody Lyme Disease, Connecticut should write a strong-worded letter and change the name from lyme disease. A lot of major diseases named for places I guess we’re supposed to change them and give them numbers now.

    They know, now based upon the samples of the virus that they have, they know that there are what they’re calling a constellation of mutations of this variant and a constellation of mutations seems to indicate that it would have — and I’m taking this from the experts, folks, a greater ability to both infect human cells and evade immunity.

    They haven’t seen the data to prove that, but that’s what the additional spike proteins — this is the level of science that I don’t know, that I’m not somebody, I don’t have a Ph.D. in or MBA in epidemiology, microbiology. But we do know that this is what they’re telling us. It could be worse, and people are freaking out. The stock market’s down a few percentage points today, pretty big as I came on air.

    Now we’re also sitting here saying, hold on a second; I thought we were at a place where we had all the vaccines out there and now we’ve got boosters. We’ve got a plan. Don’t we have a plan? The drug is going to work really well, isn’t it? Because the people that have implementing this plan have been doing it with their proverbial boot on the American people’s necks. Do this or else you’re not protecting your community. Do this or else you’re a bad person.

    People like me and others who have been saying, look, if you’re at risk get the shot. If you’re high risk, absolutely. Worth it for you. Covid is nasty and dangerous stuff if you are in a certain age demographic and if you have certain comorbidities. And if you’re nervous, get the shot. If you’re worried, right? It’s your call. This is where we keep saying on the right now all of a sudden — your body, your choice. You’re nervous about it, it’ll make you feel better. The problem has been the mandates and the false certainty from the Fauciites. That’s been the huge problem now.

    There’s other things we could discuss. But the mandates around covid making people get the shot. Fully vaccinated is now a thing that is changing. Oh and if you’re wondering, how long will the booster even last? And I keep saying they don’t know. And I point this out to you because they keep making policy based on what is unknown.

    Here is Fauci, when pushed on how long, if the plan is get everyone the shot and get everyone the booster, how long does that last for?

    FAUCI: Right now officially, John, the definition of fully vaccinated is still two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer and one dose of J&J. That’s the requirement, when people talk about what is required for this off of that. But that does not actually contradict the fact that we’re saying as vaccine efficacy wanes you need to get that booster to bring you right up. We don’t know now how long the booster effect is going to last. But you may need to update it and upgrade it over the years.

    BUCK: Over the years! You heard him. Over the years. Not over the year, as in get ready for covid boosters forever. I’m just wondering, the people who were writing in to me and so angry at me and Clay for saying, starting, really, in July of this past summer, they’re going to tell you have to get boosters and you’re going to have to get boosters forever.

    Think this through. Why wouldn’t you have to get boosters forever? We already have had how many variants in the span of less than two years? And now they, the Fauciites, the global health community, which is really bureaucrats who work for government — there’s a whole other conversation about the suppression of real scientific debate, discovery and conversation, because the apparatus has been shutting everybody — and the apparatus contradicts itself. The World Health Organization says one thing. The U.S. does another. The Federal government does one thing and then some state will come in and do a different one. And it’s all a mess.

    These are policy decisions — notice how when Fauci plays this game with “fully vaccinated.” He’s saying you are still, these things don’t contradict each other. That’s not true. Because if you need a booster, he’s saying as a policy matter, you are fully vaccinated as of today because we say so. But if your concept of fully vaccinated means you are at the maximum level of vaccinated protection from the virus, you are absolutely not fully vaccinated — if you are whatever the official guidelines are now, three months, six months — I think it’s six months, after your shot.

    So why can’t he be honest about it? Because what he’s talking about, you see the intersection from Fauci there, in real time, of policy and science, and they pretend it’s all science. They’re making a determination here.

    The same way, why don’t they have vaccine passports for air travel? Why is Biden forcing people in the military, why is Biden forcing truckers at international boundary lines, they all have to get — they haven’t done this yet but they want to do that — they haven’t been able to go forward and say, well, it’s too much to ask of them. No, why not do air travel?

    I mean, I obviously think it’s insane. But the point is why not do it? Because it’s a policy decision. It’s politics, you see. They keep pretending it’s all science, it’s politics, a lot of it, the decision-making processes. And so now what are we doing? Is this also too much panic from them?

    Remember how many times in the past, one of the issues we had with the Delta variant was that they had told us, Fauci kept saying you couldn’t get a variant, this variant looks bad. Fauci told us every variant was scary, basically and didn’t really change anything until finally we got one that was more transmissible. And there’s so much going on here. What’s the policy going to be now?

    How can anyone see what’s going on here and say to themselves, you know what we’ll be in good shape this winter, no big deal? How could anyone feel that way given what the trends are, given what the caseload is? And they can’t even seem to decide if this is going to — the term that keeps appearing — and I mean appearing in the Washington Post and New York Times is “evade,” this is a quote, “evade immunity” with this new variant. Does it do that? They don’t know. That’s kind of concerning. Right?

    I mean, that keeps people feeling a little like aren’t you guys supposed to know this? Oh, don’t worry. Fauci’s got it. He’s done such a great job. All the mitigation, all the measures, done a great job, that’s why somehow we’ve managed to have more people die in Biden’s first year from covid in America than died in 2020, the first year of the virus, when there were no vaccinations, and we were getting hit with something we really didn’t understand.

    It is noteworthy that the Fauciite regime has massively failed, if you’re judging failure on how many people have died from this, how we’ve gotten it under control. That’s right, Fauci failed.

    BREAK TRANSCRIPT

    FAUCI: It’s a new variant that is now in South Africa that has some mutations that are raising some concerns. It’s something that has emerged in South Africa and seems to be spreading at a reasonably rapid rate in the sense of when they do test positivity for seeing it’s a bit more widespread in South Africa than was originally felt a couple of days ago.

    KEILAR: Is it possible it’s already in the US?

    FAUCI: Of course everything is possible.

    BUCK: That’s great. Welcome back to the Clay & Buck show. This is Buck. Clay is on vacation today. That’s exactly what you would expect from Fauci (impression), “Anything is possible. Right. We want a little more granularity, you could say. What does the data tell you, Fauch?

    Now, as of today we do not have in this country a ban on flights to South Africa. What is that really supposed to do? I’m just wondering. Does anyone think that the stop — the virus is in other places. They think, they don’t know, because of the actual physical construct of this virus, because of the way the spike proteins have mutated, that it could be vaccine-resistant. It could be immune-evasive.

    Listen they don’t know, I don’t know, but they’re getting everyone freaked out about, that’s for sure. Stock market has taking a big dip. Dow Jones is down 860 points right now. People are concerned about this. Obviously going into the winter season. Fauci saying don’t worry, you’re considered fully vaccinated even when you will require further vaccination to be maximally safe or at a maximum level of safeness. That seems kind of contradictory. Seems kind of strange.

    Now we’re going to get into this whole thing, you’ll see a lot of this, oh, this is because this is coming out of the unvaccinated population. Unvaccinated population in South Africa. That could be true, sure, of course, a lot of unvaccinated people all over the world.

    But I would add to this, then, is their plan, do they really think they’re not going to get everyone — this isn’t like measles, which is a stable virus that does not mutate rapidly and therefore once you get the shot you tend to be done; you’re good; you’re finished. Is the plan to get every man, woman and child on the planet vaccinated and revaccinated with such efficiency that you then stamp out the virus globally?

    Is that the plan? Okay. Then why are we always being told, oh, it’s because of the unvaccinated in India, unvaccinated in South Africa? There’s always going to be unvaccinated people somewhere, especially considering you need boosters at an undetermined schedule. They don’t know how quickly for any individual the vaccine will wear off. The vaccines do wear off in terms of infection protection. What is the plan, folks? The plan is to just shut up and do what you’re told forever or else you’re a bad person who hates science. Jeez, they’ve learned so much in Fauciite land, isn’t it?

    Woke Democrats Aren’t Just Funny, They’re Dangerous

    26 Nov 2021

    BUCK: The left focuses on different things than we do, in a big way. Welcome back to the Clay and Buck show. This is Buck in NYC. Clay is on vacation. We have different priorities, it seems. You will see that in a city like New York where I am currently doing the show, where I live, where I was born and raised, I know this town as well as anybody. Worked for the NYPD Intelligence Division for a little while. Worked in city government. I know this place quite well. I know they’re going to say, you can walk and chew gum at the same time. I was going to say spit and chew gum at the same time but that wouldn’t work actually. You can walk and chew gum at the same time. And you can do more than one thing.

    Sure, but focus matters, resources, time, attention, that all matters a whole heck of a lot, in life, in government, everything. And so while we will have in New York debates over whether we should remove or they, the left, will force debates over whether we should remove a Thomas Jefferson statue because it makes people uncomfortable, including, very outspoken about this, the mayor of New York City’s wife, and the worst mayor, I think maybe in American history, there might have been some mayor who did worse things, but for right now, I don’t know, I think de Blasio is the worst. You have a level that is almost impossible to imagine that anybody could be have worse than. Okay, there were worse mayors in history, but he’s the worst right now.

    The point being, they focus on things that don’t matter in the day-to-day life of people, and we have crime surging out of control in a lot of cities, getting worse and worse all the time. And the left wants to look at the cosmetics of the issue. They want to look at what’s superficial, what makes them feel good.

    I’ll get at some of the crime issues specifically. Philadelphia, 500 murders this year. Philadelphia is not that big of a city, folks. When you start to do the numbers on this, and you extrapolate it out to what it would mean. I mean, Philadelphia is 1.5 million people. You’d have to go at least five times that. So that would be like New York City being at its all-time peak of over 2,000 murders, just to put the math in perspective here. Five hundred murders in Philadelphia is, mathematically speaking, New York City in the early 1990s, when it had over 2,200-plus murders in 1992, or 1993 I think was the biggest year for homicides. And, of course, with all the other crimes that come along.

    The left is training people all across the country not to focus on that. The Democrat party, the Biden Administration, they don’t want to talk about that. No, they’d much rather discuss problems of a lack of wokeness. This is just one of these man-on-the-street interviews that sometimes conservatives will do to show what college kids think. This one was pretty worth hearing, I believe. Here are students, college kids being asked, it’s Campus Reform, thank you, I want to make sure to give them a hat tip. Campus Reform asking, should we rename, this is Black Friday today, should we rename Black Friday.

    MALE STUDENT 1: I don’t like the name Black Friday. Never really have since I was small. Female Student 1: I’m cool with changing it.

    OPHELIE JACOBSON: Would you support such a change?

    MALE STUDENT 2: I never saw it that way, but if, like I know, if people think that it should be that way, then like, I don’t see a problem with it.

    FEMALE STUDENT 2: I mean, I think it’s definitely a valid opinion. I kind of agree that the name should be changed just because, you know, Black Friday sounds offensive.

    OPHELIE JACOBSON: What if I told you that the term Black Friday has nothing to do with race? When stores are in the red, it’s said that they’re not making any profits, so a lot of stores say that they’re in the red before the day after Thanksgiving. And once Black Friday hits, they’re in the black. Should we still change it?

    FEMALE STUDENT 3: No, I think nobody should overanalyze it. If it’s not about skin color, then I don’t see that there’s a problem.

    FEMALE STUDENT 4: If you’d like, you know, want to just rename it to like, spare the feelings like, that’s not helpful.

    FEMALE STUDENT 5: Knowing really what it does mean, it just kind of makes me think like, OK, this isn’t something that’s actually offensive. So people getting offended by it seems a little. I don’t want to call it stupid, but like a little dumb.

    BUCK: A lot of leftism is driven by things being a little dumb, people being a little dumb, not understanding the history, the history of things, of words, of places, of people. But the propaganda organs of the left, this is why I keep saying wokeness going crazy all across America isn’t something that we should sit here and celebrate as, see, they’re nuts. Look at how far they’ve been able to go. Look at what they’ve been able to achieve.

    And if you think that CRT is only in blue states in the school system, not true. I have friends, this is what they do. This is what they handle, CRT. They look at this issue all the time. And sure enough, sure enough there’s plenty of CRT in red schools. It’s all over the place, this leftist madness. They’ve seized control of the most important media platforms, of social media. They are in control of the internet largely. They still have 95 percent of so-called national media journalists completely, not just on their team, they’re activists, they’re actively seeking to pursue certain ends.

    And, yeah, they’ve said things like men can get pregnant. And we say see, they’ve lost their minds. Yeah, but, look at how far they’ve gotten with their crazy. We’ve got a lot of work to do here, folks. Sure the tide is turning, but it’s like they just fumbled on our 10-yard line. Okay, now we have to march up field in the other direction. This isn’t a moment to say, aha, look at how dumb they are. I’ve also got to tell you it’s not that they necessarily repudiate the philosophy they have around all these issues. It’s not that they recognize that they’re wrong on a moral or ethical level. It’s about what works for them. It’s about does this help the power or not.

    That’s why even when we’ve played some sound bites from Bill Maher in his show in the past, and he’ll say the left, he has pretty good monologues on how the left is crazy and they go woke. But one of his major arguments is really about the utility of this, and how it looks so dumb that you can’t have a Joe Biden. You can’t have these Democrats coming forward pretending like their party isn’t insane if they’re this crazy. It’s not, oh, we need to look at what we’re really saying and reevaluate some of our core beliefs as leftists, as Marxists in America. That’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying, this isn’t a good look for us, because we need to fool that middle five, 10, 15 percent of the country. We need to fool them into thinking we’re not the crazy Democrat party that we are, don’t you see?

    I have a different view of this than a lot of people. I’m not sitting here saying, ha ha, they say stupid things and they’re absurd. And they’re frauds and hypocrites and they talk about climate change, oh, my gosh. And then they go and buy waterfront mansions all over the place and they fly on their private jets to their climate change conferences.

    You see, it’s not that they feel badly for protecting loosely, it’s that they’re being caught. That’s the difference, it’s that people are seeing this and saying wait a second. Enough people, you’ll never get enough people to see reality. You see what’s going on with the Kyle Rittenhouse aftermath. There’s still people who say he’s still a racist and a bad person and should have gone to prison. Important people in the media say this.

    You say how could anyone who understands the most basic, the most rudimentary things about self-defense as a matter of law and as a matter of ethics see the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and think anything other than Kyle Rittenhouse was absolutely not guilty beyond that? He was innocent of any wrongdoing.

    It is clear he did nothing wrong. Some people you can never convince of anything. You can’t convince them that there’s something really off-putting about these fief mobs that gather together, coordinated, organizing stealing $100,000 of stuff in one fell swoop sometimes. There’s something going on. It’s not something you’ve seen all over the country for decades and decades. There’s something new about this. There’s a new mentality. There’s a new sense of what people can get away with when it comes to breaking the law. Oh, but the left says, no, that can’t be the case; it’s just property; it’s just property.

    The Buckster’s Scooter Stolen in Midtown Manhattan

    26 Nov 2021

    BUCK: Seth Rogen, not to be confused with Joe, Seth Rogen is a marginally formerly entertaining comedian who got into a back-and-forth with Casey Neistat, who is a YouTuber. I don’t know Casey Neistat. Heard he’s a nice guy, for what that’s worth. Heard he’s a nice dude. His company was acquired by CNN some years ago for $25 million, so that sounds like fun. And then he left CNN quickly because CNN is full of lunatics. And Seth Rogen got into a back and forth with him online because Casey Neistat’s car, he’s Canadian, he’s my age, 39, and his car had been broken into and burglarized in Los Angeles. He said he got robbed and he compared LA to a “crime-riddled third-world blank hole.”

    And Rogen replied: “Dude, I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts. It’s called living in a big city.” He said: “You can be mad, but I guess I don’t personally view my car as an extension of myself. And I’ve never felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken into.” Fifteen times! Now, maybe he was exaggerating.

    But that seems, 15 times his car was broken into and he thinks that’s fine? Thinks that’s normal? This is going, though, to the mentality that the left now, because their ideas about crime are so stupid, because their whininess about social justice and we can’t have cops doing their job, is so absurd. And now they increasingly embrace an idea, what’s the big deal; it’s just your house. Let them steal some stuff. They need it more than you do. Yes, this is what they think. This is where the left goes. It’s just property. Property isn’t a big deal. Let them take it. They need it.

    Wasn’t it AOC who a while back basically referred to some of these big thefts going on in stores as like a redistribution? A redistribution of wealth. Maybe they needed to buy food. Oh, yeah, that’s right. People go steal $15,000 handbags as a part of a thief mob because they’re starved. They pull up in, like, luxury vehicles and then steal $15,000 handbags because they’re starving. Sure, in America today, that’s really happening.

    The left is in on these issues. And this just goes to show you, now Seth Rogen is not very smart, but he’s wealthy, influential, clearly kind of a nasty fellow if you see his Twitter. And he’s saying, yeah, so my car has been broken into 15 times. Big deal. Accept it, man. Accept a society where some people make excuses and break the law and it’s okay. And where the state, who holds you accountable, I mean, sure you want to break into someone’s home. You want to steal while they’re there, want to do a home invasion, a burglary, you want to steal their car. I mean, hell, if you listen to the prosecutors in Kenosha, against Kyle Rittenhouse, the mob wants to beat the crap out of you. You’ve got to take it. That’s the cost of being in America today, folks. That’s what the left wants you to believe. No accountability, no responsibility. Whatever criminals want to do to you because they probably have a good reason for it. It’s been really hard for them.

    And if you’re wondering what does this feel like, over the weekend, my two brothers have birthdays pretty close to each other, so we were out celebrating. And now this is, I trust all of you. We’re friends here. I feel as if I’m talking at my own kitchen table. Yeah, there’s a few million of you, but it’s like I’m talking to my friends, because I am. So I’m just going to tell you this like a friend. I have a habit of driving around the city on an electric scooter. I know this is a surprise. You may be saying, Buck, what the heck is going on? We need to do a red-state intervention, bring you out, have you shoot some guns, eat a steak, do some man stuff.

    But I’ve been rolling around on this electric scooter. It’s super fun. I know it’s dorky, and it’s not a green energy thing. It’s just a convenience and they’re fun. I go very fast — because otherwise in New York you just sit in traffic and I have to move around Midtown a lot. So I take this scooter. I had it for about six months. And I mean I’ve put a lot of miles on it. It’s not exactly street legal. But it’s very dorky.

    I had a little, like a bike lock, a very standard thing, a bike lock for it. And I locked it up on Friday. I was at dinner with my brothers and my sister for about an hour and 15 minutes. It wasn’t a very long dinner. Walked outside. This is one of the most crowded streets in New York City. There’s an actual, I’m going to have to go — the hotel wouldn’t give me access to the footage. I’m going to have to go file a police report. Gosh. They have a video camera right over the spot. So, somebody, you think maybe the criminal would pay attention to this, went and broke off the lock, stole it right in front of the video camera, could care less, rolled off on my scooter. Made his getaway on the item that he stole from me. Bzzzbzzz. I remember I walked out there, and said, oh, of course, of course.

    This is de Blasio’s New York right now. I haven’t gone yet, I’ll probably talk to the police about it, I don’t know, I’m 50/50 on it. Have to sit there. Might be interesting to tell all of you all about it, what it’s like to try to file, yes, they’re all nodding their heads. File that someone stole something from me. It’s worth about $300. It’s not an insignificant item. $300 scooter from me. There are some of them that cost 900 bucks or even more. But this was a cheap one. Entry level before I get up to the big stuff, you know what I mean? Get some nitrous on there. Put some flames on the side of my scooter. A little vrmvrm action, ladies and gentlemen. Make that scooter purr like a kitten, roar like a lion.

    I’ll probably go and fill out the thing. But I know what’s going to happen, the cop’s going to look at me — we have video. Almost certainly. I went and checked and I asked. And they said, I explained this was outside on the street, right in front of a hotel. They have a camera right out there on the spot. We have a video of the whole thing. I’m willing to bet the guy probably didn’t even put a mask on. Or maybe, that thing about masks, we’re all wearing masks these days. But even if they have clear video, they’re going to be like, eh, do you know how many thefts occur in this city every day? Do you know how much stuff people are stealing? I can’t even go to the drugstore on my corner without getting, I can’t get shampoo without it being under lock and key. And I say, guys, this is crazy. They say, yeah, they steal it. They steal it. This is store clerks. I’m not mad at them, but it’s just so crazy.

    Every place I want to go in the store to get it. This is in my own neighborhood. I live in Midtown Manhattan. I live in the most heavily trafficked part of all of New York City. I could have seen it from, well, we were a little far from the window. But otherwise I would have been able to even see what was going on. Someone just came, saw it, realized there was a lock that wasn’t that substantial and just decided to steal it. One hour.

    I want to run an experiment and see how quickly, if you set up in de Blasio’s New York, bikes, bicycle get stolen here all the time. If you have a nice bicycle. And I wonder how quickly it would be stolen and how many times you could go through this experiment. And here’s why: Because whether you’re in New York or Chicago or San Francisco or Houston, or go down the list, Democrat-controlled cities, they have convinced the population that stealing is not that big a deal.

    People shouldn’t be that severely punished for it. And if you have a problem with it, something’s wrong with you; where’s your desire for social justice? You say, can’t we all just be held accountable to the law? Can’t we all act as responsible people that don’t steal? Oh, the left, the left has a very different view of this, indeed. First time I’ve ever had, knock on wood, had anything stolen in that way in New York City.

    So, it was kind of a reminder of what, it’s fine. It’s wintertime, wasn’t going to be on the scooter that much anyway. But what’s not fine is that I’m pretty sure the cops won’t care at all. By the way, what are they going to do? They are going to, I’m assuming it’s a guy, are they going to go find this guy, could be a woman. Unlikely. Anyway, life in the big city. They break into your car 15 times. They steal your scooter. They break into your house. They steal all your stuff. What’s the big deal? That’s what the libs say. Well, I think it’s a very big deal.

    New York Times: An SUV Caused the Waukesha Murders

    26 Nov 2021

    BUCK: So we have now a moment where we see how the propaganda gets made by the Democrat apparatus, we’re seeing it right now. It’s happening day in and day out. This is right after the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict. That’s certainly an indicator. It seems to be timing worth noting. When you talk about things like motive this all matters — state of mind, timing — if you ever watch a trial, they’ll ask all kinds of questions about this. Why did you do the things you did?

    And in Waukesha we have a mass murder, a mass casualty attack. It was an attack. And they’re already, in real time, Soviet style, trying to rewrite the history of it in such a way that you think very differently about it. You may not even know that this is happening.

    Here you go, the New York Times, one of the worst, Marxist, commie, apologist, garbage heaps you could find anywhere in America. They’re awful and dishonest in their reporting on a regular basis. And they would have gone out of business if it were not for a billionaire injecting them with cash. But anyway, “Everything Went Black. The Children Caught in a Christmas Parade Tragedy” is the headline. “A child died on Tuesday and scores of other children were injured when an SUV barreled through the parade on Sunday in Waukesha, Wisconsin.”

    When an SUV barreled through the parade? Was anyone driving that SUV? Was there any intention behind the zig-zagging the SUV engaged in to crush and murder and maim more people? Imagine if there was a mass shooting anywhere in this country of, I believe entirely in this case all the victims were, I believe they’re white, that may not be the case. I think all of them were. But I may be wrong. I have to check on that. But imagine just for purposes of our discussion that all the victims were minorities. And that there was a white shooter and the story headline was “A gun started going off and hitting people in a tragedy.”

    People would rightly think that was horrific and lose their minds about the dishonesty. How different is it from what the New York Times is doing right here? An SUV barreled through. Barreled through why, who, for what purpose? Caught in a Christmas parade tragedy? No, my friend; they were caught in a mass murder by a man, a Black man who had said repeatedly on social media he wanted to hurt and take down and attack white people.

    Now these are the facts as we have them currently. Those are the facts as laid out by his social media posts by the police, by what we have. And we have nothing about motive. Is it possible for there to be a hate crime or a domestic terror attack against white people?

    As a matter of law, the answer is yes. But politically is that something that Democrats accept? I will tell you, if you speak to leftists — as I do frequently, believe it or not — if you speak to leftists and say is anti-white racism even possible in America? They will tell you no. No.

    In fact, there are some on the left who are — I’m talking about so-called intellectuals and people of public note, who will tell you that in fact any racism that doesn’t even involve white individuals or doesn’t involve whiteness, white supremacy or any of that, let’s say anti-Asian racism from a member of a black community, let’s say, or the Latino community, whatever, it all comes down, white supremacy is the cause of all oppression that intersectionality deals with.

    It’s dizzying, it’s incoherent, doesn’t even make sense. That is the belief of the left. They’ll tell there’s no such thing as anti-white racism or an anti-white terror attack, and yet, as a matter of law, that’s clearly possible. And if you look at this — I know they want us to forget about what the likely motive is here, but all the indicators here, the analysis would be this was a hate crime attack by an individual who, maybe he snapped or whatever, there are many factors we could talk about. But he was angry. Was he angry specifically in response to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict? That we don’t know yet. It is plausible.

    I think we’ll find out and we’ll find out in time. We’re not going to find out right away because they don’t want you to. Why? Because they want you to forget about Waukesha. I say no. I say we get the answers, we get to the truth.

    America’s Back? Joe and Dr. Jill’s Totally Spontaneous Call to Al Roker

    26 Nov 2021

    BUCK: We have Biden now trying the usual stuff, the usual grin and I’ve got this and don’t worry and everything is great. The economy, you don’t know if the economy is bad, America, that’s what he wants to tell you. Things feel more expensive, that’s not, you just don’t know how good things are. You’re ignorant of how much better Biden has made your life. That’s the real problem. That’s what they’re going to be going for soon.

    Trust me on this one. It’s never that they stink at their job. It’s always you just don’t know how good they are. When things get really bad that’s what they’ll turn to; you just don’t realize how amazing it is. It’s like Biden is the American economy and just our republic’s abuser: you don’t know how good I am to you. Oh, really?

    Well, they called in, Joe and Jill, during the Macy’s Day Parade to say things are awesome America’s back.

    AL ROKER: Look at who is calling. Hello? Hello, Mr. President?

    BIDEN: Hello, Al. How are you doing, pal?

    AL ROKER: Happy Thanksgiving. Oh Dr. Biden and Mr. President, thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

    BIDEN: New York firefighter!

    AL ROKER: We had a New York firefighter here. It’s so good for you calling. We thank you so much. What’s your message to the American folks on this Thanksgiving day?

    BIDEN: My message is after two years you’re back, America’s back. There’s nothing we’re unable to overcome, Al. And you’re one of the reasons for that.

    AL ROKER: How did he get my phone number? Well, he’s the President of the United States. I guess he can do that.

    BUCK: Well, it was all just so spontaneous and not preplanned there. Oh, oh, look at my phone. What happens to be a President of the United States is calling in. What a surprise to me as that is happening right now, because the producer set it up that way. It’s pretty funny. Oh, look. Look. It’s President Biden. I love how he offers, “Doctor” Biden, gotta say that. Oh, man, if you’re at a Christmas, I’m sorry, a Thanksgiving table, I’ve got Christmas on the mind these days, if you’re at a Thanksgiving dinner and you’re full of, you’re at a table full of people who announce their pronouns and want to say, not a prayer, my gosh, before Thanksgiving dinner? That’s what those crazy right-wing Trump people do, to say an apology really for eating on the stolen land that we’re all eating on now, if you’re with people like that and you don’t say Dr. Biden who has a Ph.D. in education, I believe, from the University of Delaware, maybe, I think it was like a correspondence kind of a class situation, anyway, they get very upset at you.

    “Doctor” Biden. Anybody who gets upset at not being called “doctor”, you can assume is not really a doctor. Because if you tell an MD, I don’t like calling you doctor, they are, well, I’m still a doctor. I’m actually still a doctor. You can say whatever you want; it doesn’t change the reality. I thought that was pretty funny. But America’s back. Does it feel like it to you? Does it feel like we’re back? We still have all these restrictions in place. We have the supply chain issue. We have the possibility here of that getting much worse if this variant — I don’t know, I don’t know how bad is this variant going to be? I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future on all these things. They do.

    And they say they have the answers. But could be heading into a very difficult winter here. Just remember the standard that Joe Biden set up. All those people who died under Trump. It was all Trump’s fault. Why isn’t it Biden’s fault that we have all these problems with covid and with the economy and everything else going on right now? Oh, and inflation, too.

    BREAK TRANSCRIPT

    BUCK: Biggest one-day drop in the Dow of 2021 right now. Down over 900 points and everyone’s just pointing to the obvious here, that it is concern over the omicron. They’re saying it’s the Nu variant, now it’s the omicron variant, according to the WHO of covid-19. So America’s back, but oh, my gosh, everybody, this could be really, really bad. But, listen to us; we’ve got it under control. But if we don’t have everybody getting boosters we’re going to have a really bad covid winter. Which one is it?

    Thanks for being here with me on the Clay and Buck show. Buck here alone in NYC. If you haven’t, please subscribe, Clay is back on Monday; he’s just on vacation today with his family, much-deserved time off. If you haven’t, please subscribe to the Buck Sexton podcast, which is available wherever you listen to podcasts. We do about a 20-, 30-minute rundown of the events of the day first thing before we get on air. So check it out.

    So here we have the market dropping down Biden trying to tell us everything’s back and then they also have to come up with an explanation for — I thought he was going to Build Back Better. I thought good old Scranton Joe was going to roll up his sleeves and fix the economy and all that stuff. That’s what they told us. Anybody who has known Joe Biden in American politics for the 40-some odd years he’s been doing it knows this guy has a third tier IQ and a second tier politician at best, but they have to come up with something that the American people will believe.

    Here is CNN, which is an atrocious, make-believe news network. It’s a propaganda organ. They’re not all full of propaganda. They might as well just say that they’re Team Democrat, that they lie a lot and they don’t care. And their audience still labors under this delusion as they watch these boring shows of CNN that what they’re being given is news. But here’s CNN saying, look, inflation is not Biden’s fault.

    CATHERINE RAMPELL: Inflation is up not because of any particular thing that the President did. It’s because there are all of these supply chain disruptions throughout the world caused by the pandemic. Demand is up. That is partly driven by some fiscal policy decisions that Congress and this President and the previous president made, giving people more stimulus checks and things like that.

    But it is also that people had a lot of savings from last year. They have money in the bank. That money is burning a hole in their pocket, so to speak. They want to spend it and they are trying to buy more stuff even than they were pre-pandemic, they’re shifting more of their spending to goods, at the same time that goods are difficult to get through the supply chain. All of that is driving inflation up. And that’s happening worldwide to some extent. It’s not Biden’s fault.

    BUCK: It’s not Biden’s fault. Notice that’s what we end on there. It’s not Biden’s fault. It’s all these other things. You’ll see this on a whole lot of issues. We’ll actually get into it’s a lot of factors. We can never hone in on one major or primary factor, one that involves decision-making or agency or an individual or an entity’s choice. We can’t do that. It’s just so complicated. You can never really know. You can never really come to a conclusion about, where did inflation really come from? It’s so many things.

    Actually, inflation is a pretty straightforward thing. It’s too much money chasing too few goods. And the primary factor in this is government printing money, so to speak, putting money out into the economy. Spending money on, allegedly, on behalf of the American people, creating larger obligations for future generations to pay off those spending decisions. She said there, some decisions. Notice there’s a little “some decisions by the Congress,” they spend $1.9 trillion earlier this year as if it was nothing.

    The entire Obama stimulus package of 2009 and into 2010 was like 900 billion. We’ve been paying people to stay home as a function of government policy. We’ve been sending people checks, stimulus checks, right? We’ve essentially engaged in a pandemic style of not just modern monetary theory, but really universal basic income as an experiment, at least for a while, that people are just getting checks, getting checks. Stay home, it will help with the virus. Did it help with the virus? A lot of people were essential employees and had to keep doing stuff anyway.

    So what really changed as a result of all that? But back to the monetary issue. The most important thing is it’s not Biden’s fault. That’s really all they want their audience to hear, that’s all they care, it’s not decisions made by Democrats. I’m here to tell you decisions made by democrats are in fact the primary driver of the inflation surge that we’re seeing. Was inflation happening under Trump over four years? Did we have an inflation problem? We did not. Suddenly you get Biden, you get crazy spending, we got inflation problem. But don’t associate it with him because they know it’s a presidency ender, politically speaking.

    If it keeps getting worse, which it’s likely to, their only hope is to lie to you like this. Of course, there’s a lot of factors in everything. You could always play this game. And they’re doing it, since I brought this up before, they’re doing this as well with Waukesha. We can never really know the motive. This is the most dishonest thing.

    And I used to deal with this. I used to fight with CNN anchors. I remember I verbally slapped around Brian Stelter at CNN, on his own show, once because I actually understood the history and reality of counterterrorism work and the Jihadist ideology behind many of the attacks that were occurring under the Obama Administration. And Stelter did an interview with me on this, tried to assault me with the whole, verbally, “come here, I’m going to put you in a headlock” — but, no, tried to come at me, ambush me on his own show. They never aired the segment to give you a sense of what a massacre that was. Which if I were him, it was dirty I would have done the same thing because he looked like an absolute moron.

    “Why do you think this is terrorism?” Because it was, because everyone knows that it was. Because the ideology, the motivation the target set, the tactics, it’s all Jihadist terrorism. “How do you know it’s not” — but they’re playing the game they always play which is to suppress or even to avoid covering entirely stories that do not fit what they want people to be thinking about.

    We often talk about the narrative. What do we mean by the narrative? Well, what’s the first reaction that somebody has when they hear a story with a specific fact pattern? Do they think to themselves, this is, wow, that’s random? That never happens. Or do they think, oh, my gosh, yet another time that this event occurs. We need an urgent national conversation about this. We have to talk about this right away. That’s how narrative affects our perception. It also affects the way people vote and what they think is important, who they think should be in power. This is not a minor thing.

    By His Own Metric, Biden Should Resign Over Covid Deaths

    26 Nov 2021

    BUCK Let’s take a quick reminder, quick trip down memory lane here. Joe Biden, the second presidential debate of 2020, said the following about Donald Trump, when he was trying — when this declining, entering senility buffoon was trying to convince the American people that he would bring back normalcy, he would shut down the virus, not the economy — that guy, remember that? That didn’t end up happening.

    Here he is declaring that if anybody looks at the numbers under Trump with covid, that’s all they need to know about whether he should still be in charge, the death numbers.

    BIDEN: 220,000 Americans dead. If you hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this. Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as the President of the United States.

    BUCK: Biden is a jerk, people! You notice this? His whole big grinning, Irish charm thing, whatever, the guy’s not Irish, I’m more Irish, give me a break. Actually I think I might be more Irish than he is. But the point is he’s full of it. He’s not a nice guy. He’s a glad hander. He’s a guy that puts the big grin on and pats you on the back and pretends to be your friend while he’s stealing the fillings out of your teeth. That’s who Joe Biden really is. It’s worked in politics because he’s a useful tool of the Democrat machine. Always has been. Not a leader. He’s not a thinker.

    Listen to what he said in the presidential debate. Blaming President Trump. It’s year one of the pandemic, we’re talking about that, 2020. He’s blaming Trump, saying he’s responsible for the deaths.

    Well, that’s really interesting, because by that metric, I need to know why Joe Biden shouldn’t resign — I know he won’t resign — but why shouldn’t he resign, when he has recorded 386,233 covid deaths since, when was this, this was just a few days ago. November 24th, couple days ago — more than were recorded, this year has had a higher death toll in America from covid than all of 2020. We’ve got a whole other month and a bad month ahead of us, too. You see what’s going on. We’ve got a thousand people a day dying from covid right now. Probably is going to go up.

    So, is Joe Biden to blame? He said Donald Trump, when we were hit out of nowhere, we had a great economy, thriving country, everything is going great — the Trump presidency is kicking butt, libs are in disarray: What are we going to do? Complain about the lack of pronoun options on the forums. Right? That’s what they were left to do. And then covid comes out of nowhere. Trump has to deal with a once-in-a-century pandemic.

    Joe Biden. because he’s just a stupid and reckless slimy fraud is saying that Trump is responsible for all those deaths. You say to yourself, hold on a second, if Trump is responsible, Biden has the vaccine to lean on and a whole lot more natural immunity built up, too, which they never talk about, but which is really important, and the science says it’s really important, the data shows it’s really important. But we have more people dying. So what’s going on?

    They keep saying it’s the fault of the unvaccinated. To that I say, but everybody was unvaccinated in 2020. And then I see in some of these pieces they say, oh, but it’s because people have relaxed their social distancing and their masking. That crap doesn’t work! And if they’re going to say that it works, explain to me what mask-up-between bites on the plane or a restaurant. Explain the science of that. Aren’t we past that now? This is superstition from idiots: Mask up between bites. Give me a break.

    Once you’re infected you’re infected. Doesn’t matter if you’re infected in the first ten minutes of sitting there or first three hours of sitting there. Infected is infected. So this “mask up between bites” is ridiculous. And doctors know it’s ridiculous and they reach out and tell me, but they’re afraid they’re going to lose their medical license. They’re vicious about shutting people down for questioning the dominant narrative. Vicious about it, absolutely.

    And then there’s a voice out there who will call for some accountability here about Biden on this one. Here is former President Trump speaking about Biden. This was on Fox Business, I believe, speaking about Biden’s inability to get this virus under control.

    ASMAN: We have more deaths now than we did during your presidency. By Biden’s own standard, he should not remain as president. That’s what he said. Do you think he should resign?

    TRUMP: Well, it’s significantly more deaths. And that, as I said before, that’s despite all of the vaccines and the therapeutic Regeneron and so many other therapeutics that are so good, that despite that, and because they don’t trust them, people don’t want to get the vaccine, because if you don’t remember, I didn’t have any problem. We were doing very well, over a million a day, and you didn’t hear people — the opposite. Everybody, they were clamoring for it. No, he made that statement during the debate. I thought it was a horrible statement to make. I wanted him to be successful on the whole thing, on covid, or, as I call it, the China virus. No, I think it’s a terrible thing that he said. And I think he’s done a terrible job.

    BUCK: I mean, where is the covid mortality tracker that we saw on CNN and NBC for months and months on end during the Trump presidency? What happened? More people died under Biden than under Trump from the virus, even though there’s a vaccine out there right now that, yes, it is, just for clarity purposes, the millionth time, if you’re at high risk, if you’re of the age, get the shot, please. It’s your choice, but I think it’s a good idea.

    Okay. That said, how the heck can they avoid the standard that Joe Biden set up here of Donald Trump is the bad guy; look at all the people dying of covid? Look at people dying of covid now. Where is all the focus on this?

    It does remind me — because I remember when I was — I was at CIA Iraq office under the Bush Administration. Then I was assigned to the Afghanistan side of the house under the Obama Administration. And I can tell you this, people had very little interest in the media in the fact that there were more casualties in Afghanistan under Obama than under Bush. Why was that? Why were the deaths of soldiers under Bush so much more newsworthy than the deaths of soldiers under Obama as Commander-in-Chief?

    I think we all know the answer, but I like to point this out that. These people are propagandists. They are frauds.
