Alex Berenson Addresses the Omicron Variant

26 Nov 2021

BUCK: If you’re just joining, welcome. We have breaking news for you. This is not a quiet news day at all, friend. Dow getting crushed, down 900 points today. Stock market showing the economic worries people have right now. The travel industry on edge because the breaking news I have for you, in just the last few minutes.

The U.S. is banning some travel from South Africa and seven other countries as of Monday. That’s right. Travel bans under Biden going back into effect here after a long lull. Remember we had travel bans under Trump. Now we have U.S. to restrict travel from South Africa and seven other countries starting on Monday. We’ve got someone who can certainly shed some light on what’s going on here with all this. This is all response to the Omicron variant of covid-19 that has many people concerned.

Alex Berenson is with us now. Please subscribe to his Substack for his research of covid-19. And also, Pandemia, his book is out soon. Alex, thanks for being here.

BERENSON: Yes, Buck, thanks for having me. Let me quickly mention Pandemia because I know we’ll get to all this stuff and before we know it it’s going to come up.

BUCK: Go for it.

BERENSON: Pandemia will be out on Tuesday, I know both you and Clay are going to speak to me about it next week. But it’s going to be out Tuesday. You can download the audible audio book now. And you can get it on Amazon for delivery Tuesday. And so far I think it will be interesting to people even if you followed this pretty closely, I think it hopefully puts it all in context and sort of gives you an idea of where we are right now. So, that’s Pandemia. But, yeah, we’ve got a lot to talk about.

BUCK: Let’s start with the breaking news, Alex. We haven’t had a chance to coordinate or say anything to each other about this because it just came up in the last few minutes. Travel ban from eight nations. A US travel ban. There’s also I think a couple dozen other countries that have —

BERENSON: European.

BUCK: Yeah, European countries that have a travel ban about South Africa and other places. First of all, what do they think this is going to do? What’s going on here? People are going to be saying, what the heck?

BERENSON: So, this is very interesting, and there’s two possibilities. Possibility one this is actually — this is actually dangerous, right? And I would say, based on what they’re saying, there are a lot of mutations here. It clearly can be given to and transmitted from vaccinated people. We already know that about this strain. And if you look at the case count in South Africa, it’s interesting because case counts typically spike pretty quickly with coronavirus. This is a whole new level of speed. It looks like a wall. That’s how vertical the case count has been in the last week. Doesn’t look like a mountain, it looks like a wall, like straight up and down.

So there may be real concern about this. At the same time what I would say, I don’t think they have any idea whether or not this is actually more dangerous to people. None of the variants have really proven more dangerous. The delta variant is more transmissible. But there’s not that much evidence in the end that it’s actually more dangerous to people who get it. There’s a back and forth about it. If it’s more dangerous it’s marginally more dangerous.

I would also say there’s no evidence that vaccinating people against this new variant will do them any good, as compared to vaccinating them against earlier variants. So, in other words, we already know vaccine efficacy has waned in general and that’s why they’re pushing boosters. With this variant, which has so many different changes in its genome and looks different when they model it, it may even be, vaccination may even be less useful.

So the cynic in me says this is just an effort to sort of try to panic people. It’s another way to try to get people vaccinated when vaccinations are clearly stalled all over the United States, where people don’t want the booster, where there’s increasing resistance to the mandate. What are we going to do? We’re going to talk up this new variant and scare people. So that’s one possibility.

The other possibility is there is actually something to be frightened of. I don’t think we know yet. I think either possibility is bad, though, honestly because either, once again, we can’t trust the public health authorities or they’re telling us something we should really be scared of.

BUCK: We’re speaking to Alex Berenson, author of Pandemia which comes out on Tuesday, his book on this pandemic. I already have my copy. I’m reading it this week, folks.

Alex, I gotta ask here, what is the plan? I played Fauci audio earlier in the show today where he says we don’t know how long the boosters are going to last. And so if we’ve got to get them for years — that was his word — years, that’s what we’re going to do. “The pandemic of the unvaccinated” became a very sort of moralizing line here from people where it wasn’t just please get the vaccine; it was you’re a bad person if you don’t, because you’re going to then create all these variants. To this I just want to say, well, is the plan really to get everyone around the world, not only vaccinated — and I mean everybody — but to get them vaccinated in perpetuity in a schedule that would stop the variant? Because that seems completely impossible. What is the plan?

BERENSON: You’ve got me what the plan is. Before this thing today — and I don’t want to say it’s nonsense, because this does appear to be a real variant — and you know we’ve been talking for months. And I’ve said to you there’s going to be a spike in cases in the fall and the winter in the U.S. Look at what’s happening in Europe. It’s going to happen here.

All these people were telling you that this is over are wrong. I think you can probably find those clips of me saying that to you, that I don’t like to make predictions but that one seemed pretty clear. I was actually starting to look past the winter and saying to myself, is it possible that both medically and politically things will look better in three or four months. And the reason is not because of vaccines, because the vaccines are clearly, at best, a stop gap, at best and probably even less than that. But because of this new drug which has sort of very promising results in this clinical trial that Pfizer conducted. And then combine that with, as you sale, I think people are just, people are sick of it, they’re sick of all of it and they don’t want boosters.

There may be a small fraction of older people who are happy enough to line up for this over and over again. But I think both working age people, much less parents thinking that their kids are not going to want to get boosters every three or four, five months. They’re going to think it’s insane.

So my feeling was, okay, we’re going to have these therapeutics, these drugs that are going to help attack the virus directly. And at the same time the Supreme Court is likely to strike down this mandate. It will expire or it will be struck down without ever even taking effect. And ultimately the Democrats are going to have to basically declare victory and go home. That will happen at some point in the winter or the spring. You know, unfortunately, that’s not what’s happening in Europe.

In Europe, they’re talking about going back into lockdown. They’re talking about vaccine mandates that would include a third dose, you will be considered unvaccinated if you don’t get a booster shot. And so the Democrats are more like European —

BUCK: Can I jump in here because there’s something important here. Fauci said this again. Do we even know how long the boosters — we assume they give you another six months. Do we know that’s true?

BERENSON: No, we don’t know that’s true. In Israel, they may have knocked cases down to close to zero, but that’s over three months. They started in August. An Israeli said a couple of days ago that we’re worried that the boosters are waning. We’re starting to see a slight uptick in infections. And, again, this is only three months. And they may have some data showing that we’ve seen some people now who have gotten a third dose who are having problems again.

Here’s the other thing I’ll say about the boosters. And I think this has sort of gone unremarked. There’s not a single piece of clinical trial data in the world showing a three-dose regimen versus a placebo. So in other words, the initial tests were of people getting two doses and then some people got a placebo. They got nothing. Then the companies went on and they took the people who had gotten two doses and they gave some of them a placebo and some of them a third dose. They never tested this in any trials the way it’s being used right now.

Now, when the public health authorities say, oh, there’s — they’re starting to lie about this, too — they’re starting to say there’s other vaccines where you need a booster; this is just what we always expected; we just didn’t say it at the time. That’s a total lie. They have never even tested this in the most basic way. So, yeah, the idea that they’re doing this and they’re not even promising, the smarter ones, they’re not going to ask you to do it again in four to six months, is insane.

BUCK: Alex Berenson, author of Pandemia, which comes out next week. What do they really think is supposed to happen? What is Fauci’s next move? Because it seems to me like now they’re sitting around, they’ve got to tell everybody, it’s just a matter of time before you’re not fully vaccinated until — right now he says you’re technically considered vaccinated until you get a booster. They’ll change that, too. Everyone’s going to have to get a booster.

I’m somebody who, for example, I’m not getting a booster. There are people out there saying, sorry, I’ve had enough of this personally and I’m not going to do it. So I encouraged my parents to and they went because they’re at higher risk because of their age. They got the booster. I told them to. That’s fine. What’s the plan? They want kids to get the shot now. They keep talking about evading immunity, Alex, with this new Omicron. I see that phrase all over the place. They’re concerned about evading immunity. Then what are we doing?

BERENSON: What are we doing? That’s a good question. Why would we encourage people to get boosted against a variant that the booster and the vaccines don’t work very well against? And I don’t know the answer to that.

I’m increasingly troubled by all of this. It seems to be completely off the rails. And I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I want to believe that they just got themselves into a position they just don’t know how to get themselves out of. The decisions they’re making are just inexplicable.

And there’s a lot of people like you. There’s people like me who have not gotten vaccinated who are not going to get vaccinated. And I think there’s a lot more people like you who said, you know, I did this. I tried it. They said it would get back to normal and nothing has changed. And people are still dying from SARS CoV-2 and infections are rocketing around, and now a new travel ban. I’m not putting my body at risk again for this. I’ve done my part.

BUCK: What is the best data, Alex? We hear less about breakthrough infection now. They’re telling you to get boosters because clearly the protectiveness wanes. It’s like you’re not allowed to talk about it. How much does it wane? Do we have any real sense if you got the shot in April, how protected are you now, from just infection, not from hospitalization or death? We know that seems to be better.

BERENSON: I think you’re at zero protection. Zero protection at this point from infection and transmission after six months, six, seven months. That’s what it looks like. There’s data from Sweden on that, data from Israel on that and data from UK on that, and it all points that way.

BUCK: They might eventually have to admit then, look. If it were 20, 30 percent protection, a lot of people would say that’s miles and miles away from what we were told when we were told we had to get this. And isn’t it the point of, seems that those that are not high risk vaccinated. There’s only two benefits of it. Right? The not high risk population. It would be stopping the spread. If you get everyone vaccinated, maybe you stop variants because you stamp out the whole virus.

The second one, every person I’ve talked to says it’s completely impossible on a global scale and insane. But first one now, it seems how is that supposed to be — why should a 25-year-old get the shot if they can still get it and spread it?

BERENSON: They shouldn’t. They shouldn’t. You can make the argument, and they tried to scare people with this about Delta. Younger healthy people are getting sick and dying from this in a way they weren’t before. The truth is you actually don’t see that in the data. Maybe people in their 50s and 60s who are sort of on the margins.

Again, if they have zero protection from infection and transmission, they’re somewhat more protected against severe outcome. And here’s what I wrote — we don’t even know how long that lasts. We don’t because we haven’t been doing this that long. And there’s considerable evidence, a good paper out of Sweden, again showing that protection against severe disease and death declines pretty fast post six months.

So what we know about the booster in general is that it increases your antibodies. It’s not clear how long to get your antibodies pumped up you’re temporarily protected again. But to be really protected over the long term, the way natural immunity protects you, you need to have T and B cell immunity. Your immune system actually has to go through some long-term changes that help it respond to this virus if you see it again five or 10 years later. And there’s no evidence that even a third dose or fourth dose, fifth dose does any of that. Anybody who says otherwise is lying. I know we’ve got to go.

BUCK: We’ve got to have you back on Tuesday with the book, but go real quick, 20 seconds.

BERENSON: Real quick. Somebody said to me, a really smart infectious disease guy, in every case — not just for coronavirus — immunity generated by natural infection is better than vaccination. And that’s what we’re seeing with this too.

BUCK: Alex Berenson, book Pandemia. Alex, thanks for being here. We’ll talk to you next week.

BERENSON: Thanks, Buck.

James “Bo Snerdley” Golden Recalls Rush at Thanksgiving

24 Nov 2021

BUCK: We’re joined by our friend James Golden. Many of you know him as Mr. Bo Snerdley. He has a book out, “Rush on the Radio: A Tribute from His Sidekick for 30 Years.” James, my friend, good to have you on.

GOLDEN: It’s so good to be here. Thank you for having me. And, you know, it’s a little bittersweet, though. I’m feeling a bit teary and emotional. Because Thanksgiving, as you know, was Rush’s favorite time of year, and I just remember last year at this very time Rush is telling all of us that he was comparing himself to the way that Lou Gehrig felt when he said that he truly understood how Lou Gehrig felt facing a terminal illness and still feeling like he was the luckiest human being on the face of the earth.

That was Rush’s Thanksgiving message last year, along with profound thanks to this audience of which you are holding up the legacy, and we’re so proud of you for doing that. And so this is… But it’s a little bit bittersweet this year as we remember that Thanksgiving story that Rush told us, the true Thanksgiving story — which was, of course, the clash between socialism and what eventually won, capitalism, in this country and individual achievement. So, what a time of year, what a time of year — and, of course, the beginning of the Christmas season which was just so special for Rush and for all of us.

CLAY: James, we appreciate you coming on with us and sharing, to your point, what is such a bittersweet moment for many of the people listening here who have for decades experienced Thanksgiving with Rush, and they don’t have him for this first Thanksgiving. And we’re very honored to have you here. I’m assuming you have seen the Wall Street Journal under siege for publishing their Thanksgiving homily basically from the 1600s that they’ve been publishing for decades to signify the importance of Thanksgiving. How do you think Rush would have responded to the Wall Street Journal standing up to people trying to cancel their editorial, and how pleased would he be with what they wrote in response to those who would cancel them?

GOLDEN: I think he would be very happy to see the Wall Street Journal taking a stand, especially when so many others that we wouldn’t expect caved in to this progressive madness that is sweeping across the nation, that tries to rid us of our history and our traditions. You know, Rush was in many ways the first attempt for the progressives and liberals in this country to try to begin their cancel culture war. It didn’t work with Rush — and, certainly, with the Wall Street Journal today, with this attempt.

And, you know what? The Wall Street Journal is not the only one that is coming under attack for celebrating Thanksgiving. You can see across other outlets in the mainstream media today — very sly in some cases, in other cases very outright and hostile — attacks on the Thanksgiving tradition as not being inclusive enough in our history. Look, we are Americans — and Rush was so right about this — being proud of America, being optimistic that our best days are still ahead of us.

Yes, we’re aware of things that happened in our past, but we’re also… Rush was also the eternal optimist about the good and great nature of the American people and how we’ve overcome the things in our past to become a great nation, and we are still filled with the optimism that as great a superpower as we are today, America’s best days are still ahead of us.

BUCK: We’re speaking to James Golden, formerly known as Bo Snerdley by many of you. He has a book out, “Rush on the Radio: A Tribute From His Sidekick for 30 Years.” As we go into the holiday tomorrow, James, people will be looking for things to read, of course. And a lot of them want to know your thoughts, both on what Thanksgiving meant to Rush — you and the whole team — and what was the mood like in the studio on days where you were getting ready for Thanksgiving, when Rush was at the helm?

GOLDEN: Well, we always looked forward to the last hour of the show because no matter what the news of the day was, we knew that Rush was going to read again The True Story of Thanksgiving. And it never got old, and it never got tired. And that tradition, thankfully, is continuing, thank you — the tradition that Rush started in this country — and now you’re starting to see more and more people aware of the story.

Also, by the way, for parents with young children, the book series that Rush and Kathryn wrote on American history from the first pilgrims in their journey here to this nation all the way through the five-book series. What a wonderful Christmas gift that is for parents of young children who want to teach their children the true nature of American history and put in context this great country that we are so blessed to live in.

CLAY: There’s no doubt, James. By the way, for everybody out there who is going to be listening to the show tomorrow, we will be playing much of that from Rush on Thanksgiving. You will hear his voice for those of you who are out there traveling or going to your own Thanksgiving. James, where will you be spending Thanksgiving, and what will you be most thankful for yourself as you enter into the holiday season?

GOLDEN: You know, this year my nephew, his wife and their infant — we just celebrated his birthday two days ago, their son. They came out, they said, so they could put some loving on their uncle. And I am so happy to be able to spend time with family this year. This was a devastating year. Not just losing Rush. My mom passed away three days after Rush. It has been a devastating year, and the losses have just been really just searingly painful.

But I am so grateful now, looking back on it. We had 30 years, 33 years of Rush on the air. We have 33 years of wonderful memories of laughter, of his insights that only he could give, of his political wisdom, of his irreverent humor. And it it is such a blessing to now look back over this incredible career that Rush Limbaugh had. So, I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful for all the friends that I met along the way. Buck, you and I worked together. You were one of the people who sat in that chair when Rush was away.

And it’s so many great and wonderful people that I’ve had a chance to meet and interact with. I’m so grateful for that across the 30 years that I spent with Rush Limbaugh, and the people that are still with you and the people that were part of our EIB family. So happy about that. It is still one of the most wonderful times of the year, even though there’s a big hole in my heart that I don’t think will ever be filled because Rush isn’t here.

BUCK: James, we really appreciate you joining us and sharing your memories, of course, of the man himself, Rush, and your experience of him on Thanksgiving. And also, many times I spent holidays with you when Rush was out taking a much-deserved vacation, with you and Mike and the rest of the team here and Ali in New York City. So, some memory lane stuff there, too. James Golden, everybody, check out his book. And, James, we really appreciate you being with us, thank you so much.

GOLDEN: Thank you for having me and Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for keeping the legacy alive, guys.

BUCK: Thank you, James.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

CLAY: Welcome back in, we appreciate you joining us. Our thanks to James Golden. Want to reemphasize for you all out there that we’ll have many of the best moments from Rush’s Thanksgiving tomorrow as a part of the Best of Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. We, as always, are honored to be sitting in front of a couple of Golden Microphones. We appreciate all of you.

We’re thankful for all of you and the support you’ve given us. We are coming up on a half year doing this show. We are having a great deal of fun. We hope we’re also educating, entertaining and continuing to fight the battles that matter so much to Rush and that so many of you have spent decades devoting during this time frame. We thank you, both Buck and I do, and our families thank you as well.

Jesse Kelly: “I Won’t Live a Lie. Turkey Sucks!”

24 Nov 2021

BUCK: We’ve got a friend calling in from the road, syndicated host Jesse Kelly of the Jesse Kelly Show, of our own iHeartMedia. He’s driving somewhere, and he’s got a controversial turkey take he wants to share with everybody. Mr. Kelly, I’m just telling you, man, we cannot be held responsible for these backlash against your turkey comments.

KELLY: It’s not controversial, Buck. I’m tired of living a lie. I won’t live a lie anymore, and I don’t want other people to live lies. The truth is turkey sucks. And everybody listening right now — and I know it’s probably the biggest audience in America — knows I’m right. If you don’t, you’re about to know I’m right. Everybody who is listening goes into a restaurant at least five times a year, 55 times a year, depending how often you go out.

How many listening right now to the sound of my voice have walked into a restaurant with endless options on the menu and ordered turkey? Never once! Not one person has done it. Why? Because it sucks. You have endless options. If it’s so good, if it’s so special, why don’t you order it in restaurants? You don’t. You eat turkey on Thanksgiving because of some weird tradition thing. You can honor the Pilgrims or Indians or whatever without eating dried-out meat. It’s supposed to be a special meal. Get something truly special, not something that tradition tells you is special.

CLAY: This is so controversial, Buck. I don’t know what’s more controversial. You came out against rolls on Thanksgiving dinner, and now you called in to be against turkey. I don’t know if this show will be back on the air on Monday after all the hate.

BUCK: Clay is staying above the culinary.

CLAY: I’m trying to stay above. Jesse, I’m curious, have you ever had a Honey Baked Ham or a Honey Baked Turkey? Are you familiar with that brand?

KELLY: I am familiar with that brand. I used to live two miles from one. So I have had both. Again, Honey Baked, the store itself is wonderful, at least in my experience with it. I ate a lot of hams from there, and I understand all the different ways to make turkey, Clay. This is what people do, though. They’ll be like, “You’ve never had my grandma’s Cajun-injected, deep-fried turkey wrapped in bacon.” I could take a dirty jockstrap and wrap it in bacon, and it would taste good. That doesn’t make turkey good.

BUCK: The man has a point.

CLAY: I eat a turkey sandwich every day. So I may be the most pro-turkey man on the planet here, and this outrage… Frankly, frankly I can feel William Bradford — I think his first name was William — rolling over in his grave right now over this call.

BUCK: Because, Jesse, we haven’t affected enough palates yet. On green bean casserole, where do you stand?

KELLY: I don’t eat vegetables, Buck, because I’m not a rabbit. On Thanksgiving Day, I’ll be eating tenderloin and Fettuccine Alfredo and Red lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits and I’m going to finish that off with homemade berry cobbler with homemade ice cream on top. Now everybody tell me if that meal sounds better than your turkey and cranberry sauce.

CLAY: I will say this: Cobbler is the best dessert that’s ever been created, in my opinion. What’s the best cobbler? Blackberry cobbler, in my humble opinion, the best dessert that’s ever created.

BUCK: I think we can end on a note of coming together on that one. I like cobbler too, Mr. Jesse Kelly. Check out the Jesse Kelly Show, 6 to 9, syndicated on iHeartMedia. Thank you, Jesse. Have a great Thanksgiving.

KELLY: Be good. Happy Thanksgiving.

CBS Urges, “Your Papers, Please” at Thanksgiving

24 Nov 2021

CLAY: We played you NBC News reporting, “Hey, maybe you need a bouncer at the door because inflation costs are up in order to get some of the money to be able to cover the increased cost of a Thanksgiving meal.” How about CBS This Morning? I want to play this for you guys. CBS This Morning said, “Hey, maybe you should be doing covid tests in your garage before your Thanksgiving meals.” This is the insanity we are dealing with. Listen to CBS This Morning.

NATE BURLESON: It might be a difficult conversation before people step into your house to say, “Whoa! Wait a minute. Where’s your card? What’s your status before you step in my home?”

LISA DAMOUR : This is tough because people are all over the map on this and they’re all over the map with their risk tolerance. But the rapid tests have made this a lot easier.

NATE BURLESON: Right.

LISA DAMOUR: Because whatever people’s vaccination status is, we can actually confirm safety on the spot. So if it feels like it’s going to be weird, maybe make it kind of fun. Say, “We’ll start with hors d’oeuvres in the garage. We’ll have drinks, we’ll do the rapid test, and then come on in.” You can make it playful and make it fun and then be able to enjoy the holiday because you’re not worried about safety.

BUCK: It’s playful and fun like the guy running a Soviet gulag showing you your cell is playful and fun. Give me a break. You know, in New York City, Clay, that school kids, for safety reasons, are told to eat their lunch — in the public school system here — outside sitting on the concrete. It’s 37 degrees outside right now! They’re freezing their little buns off because adults are lunatics who cannot think for themselves.

This is what I want to tell them. We’re trying to solve problems. If you have that relative who shows up and is going to do the mask-up-between-bites thing, you triple mask and throw on some goggles. When your relative doesn’t have their double mask on, you say, “How could you pretend to take the virus seriously with only one layer of cloth over your mouth inside at this table, sir? How dare you?”

CLAY: Can you imagine showing up for Thanksgiving dinner, Buck, and having to take a covid test in order to eat Thanksgiving? Or to eat outdoors in the frigid cold as some people are going to do? If you are elderly and you are worried, get your booster shots. We’ve said this. Get your covid vaccine, as 99% of people who are 65 and up have. But at some point in time, when are you going to return to normalcy? I’m not a grandparent, but I can’t imagine isolating myself for two years from my grandkids in order… Look, I hate to say it. I know it’s Thanksgiving. So far as I know, Buck —

BUCK: We’re all going to die.

CLAY: — we’re all going to die.

BUCK: Yep.

CLAY: So at some point, risk is a function of living your life. You can’t… You’re in danger in every single thing you do all day long.

BUCK: Of course. We talk about numbers. It’s not about numbers anymore. But, Clay, can we play out what this CBS discussion they’re having is all about. Your Uncle Phil shows up, and you’re, like, “Phil! Haven’t seen you all year. Great to be here. Just stick this up your nose for a second.” What if it’s positive? You’ll be telling Phil, “Sorry!”

CLAY: Everybody’s going to die, I guess. I don’t know. Gotta kick him out? What if it’s a false positive, your uncle or your aunt or your grandma or grandpa don’t get to hang out with anybody.

BUCK: If he’s asymptomatic and everyone’s vaccinated, “No soup for you!” — apparently. You’re sent out into the cold.

CLAY: And by the way, you don’t care about the flu. You don’t care about a cold or any other communicable disease, which has been spread since time immemorial, since Squanto. Was it Squanto? Squanto and the other Indians and the Bradfords and everybody got together. They were probably spreading some diseases at the first Thanksgiving, because you know what? They’re humans, and that’s what humans do.

NBC Pitches Cover Charge, Covid Tests for Thanksgiving Guests

24 Nov 2021

CLAY: I want to hit this, by the way, because NBC, CBS — all the media people — are losing their minds. We’re going to play a CBS take for you about how everybody needs to get covid tested before Thanksgiving before the show is over. But, Buck, listen to this. NBC reporter Vicky Nguyen says if you’re worried about how much inflation has gone up, you need to charge your guests when they arrive for Thanksgiving.

BUCK: That’s going to make for a fun conversation.

CLAY: Make them give you cash.

BUCK: Wait. Wait. I like to call it “The Biden Tax” for all of your Democrat family members. They show up and you say, “Sorry, you need to pitch in this year because you have to pay your fair share for Thanksgiving.”

CLAY: I love the idea of somebody at their house having basically a Thanksgiving bouncer making people give money to get into Thanksgiving, which is just unbelievable to me. Listen to cut 20. This is NBC saying (summarized), “Hey, if you’re worried about the 6.2% inflation — the rising costs of all of your Thanksgiving — you just need a bouncer to take money up! That will help things.”

NBC’s Vicky Nguyen tell viewers to combat inflation-spiked Thanksgiving by ditching the Turkey & charging guests.

“Maybe you do an Italian feast …If you tell everyone you’re having Thanksgiving without turkey, some guests may drop off the list & that’s a way to cut costs too.” pic.twitter.com/hu5ojAVEwH

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 24, 2021

NGUYEN: I think we’re a little mixed on this, but you could just ask people to throw in cash — $5, $10, that really adds up — and while we are on the topic of something that could be controversial, perhaps forego the turkey. Bear with me. I know that is the staple of the Thanksgiving meal. However, some people think turkey is overrated, and so it tends to be the most expensive thing on the table. Maybe you do an Italian feast instead. I will say this: If you tell everyone you’re having a Thanksgiving without turkey, some guests may drop off the list and that’s a way to cut costs, too.

BUCK: Clay, can I say that the communists are winning under this Biden administration? Cut out the turkey from Thanksgiving? What’s next, no Santa at Christmas because we have to stay green and avoid the emissions from the sleigh? This is crazy talk.

Mass Media Ignores Mass Murder in Waukesha

24 Nov 2021

BUCK: I wanted to start with continued analysis and coverage of the mass murder in Waukesha, in Wisconsin, because we’ve had some updates here. You have Darrell Brooks held on $5 million bail right now. State of Wisconsin mandates that there must be a bail. So they’ve put it about as high as they could. He also has… There’s video now showing him after the incident, the mass murder incident, going up to a home of a Waukesha man and asking if he could use his phone, asking him to make a sandwich, right before cops went and made their arrest.

Pretty shocking and I’m sure terrifying situation that played out right there. But media is acting like this is just an incident and a thing that happened and there’s no broader discussion that needs to be had. Right now, what do you think CNN is talking about as I’m speaking to you? “January 6 committee issues subpoenas targeting far-right groups.” Oh, are we more interested in that than analysis, Clay, of what we see here?

I want to get to Joe Biden. As I’ve said, is he a man of honor? No, he’s not. If he was he would take back what he said about Kyle Rittenhouse. Let’s focus in on Brooks for a moment here. We have Andy Ngo — who is a friend of mine, an intrepid investigative journalist — who has helped pull together posts from Brooks who show he was a supporter of the Black Israelites. He posted things about wanting to attack “old white people” specifically.

He was very supportive of the BLM movement. If he had posted things… If he were a white guy who had ran into a parade full of mostly minorities and had posted really racist stuff, we would be having 24/7 media panels and discussions about hate. And in this case, why aren’t we having a discussion, Clay, about the most likely motive? Based on the facts we have right now, this was effectively a mass murder anti-white crime?

CLAY: Because it doesn’t fit the narrative. The narrative is, in the left-wing media, that minorities can only be victims. And anytime a minority is a victim of someone other than a white person, it receives no attention. And in fact, you can take it out of this situation — awful situation in Wisconsin — and you can think about what happened with Asian hate crimes. Remember when the media tried to turn Asian hate crimes into a major story in this country?

And then the unfortunate reality and truth became readily apparent, which was virtually every member of the Asian hate-crime community, as all of these stories got attention, the person who was the hater, the perpetrator, was Black. And so there wasn’t an easy fit here because you had a minority group being the victim of another minority group. And this is the story, honestly, of Black Lives Matter at large, because black lives — in the mind of the mainstream media — only really matter when they are victims from white alleged perpetrators.

Bcause the vast majority of murders that have occurred in the last year — as we have set an all-time record for increase in murder in most of our lives — almost all of those murders have been Black-on-Black crime. The vast majority of them, Buck. They don’t get any attention. Young black children, innocent victims killed. They don’t get any attention unless there is an alleged white perpetrator associated with it. And, so, when you have a situation like this where it appears this man…

By the way, I think he’s not only racist and desiring of killing people, he’s also mentally deranged, as most people are who commit some form of mass murder. This guy is not sound of mind. He’s psychologically unstable. But to your point, Buck, if a white guy had done this and it had predominantly minority victims or all minority victims, it would be the number one story for weeks. Instead, the CNNs and the MSNBCs of the world, they’re going to memory hold this story and no one will talk about it in a few days in those universes.

BUCK: The number one CNN story on CNN, as Clay and I talk to you, is “RNC payments from Trump lawyers.”

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: Just so everyone understands, if you want to see the propaganda, you see it right now in real time. Another thing, we on this show — because we actually have to wait for the facts, because if we get ahead of the facts, we’re reckless and bad people and everything else. Even though it seemed very clear this was some kind of hate crime and likely in response — likely, not definitively, in response — to the Kenosha verdict, what happened in Waukesha.

They told us he was evading another incident. That was a lie. This is not evasion. He was zigzagging to kill as many people as possible. This was intentional mass murder, my friends. The media lied to you about this. And they think they’re good people for doing it because, “Oh, well, we don’t want to inflame tensions right now.” By the way, let’s see how they feel about inflaming tensions, so to speak, depending on how the Ahmaud Arbery trial comes down here, what the jury verdict is there. So we were right when we said here on this show it was not credible, because now we know he was not a fleeing another incident.

CLAY: And it never made sense, Buck, to flee and go into a parade in a car and hit people!

BUCK: But why did we know that? And CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, why did they not know that? That’s a rhetorical question, because we’re trying to tell you the truth about what happened here. We’re trying to tell you the truth about this situation as it plays out. But, Clay, it’s just remarkable, because if you look at the history of BLM, it was a movement that got going under the Obama administration (people often forget that) in response to the shooting of Mike Brown, which was a lawful shoot.

The officer was not in the wrong, did not do anything that was illegal. There were Black eyewitnesses to the shooting. Okay. But fast forward. There were riots. There was looting. It happened in Ferguson. It happened in Baltimore. What really ended that iteration, that version of the BLM movement in 2016? The mass shooting of Dallas police officers by Micah Johnson in 2016, July of 2016, where he killed five officers in an ambush-style assault. Why?

He was upset about what was being said about black men being killed by white police. Clay, the media lying about this — and we played some of the lies on the air because we’re trying to shoot them down. We’re trying to eviscerate the lies. The media plays a role in creating this mentality of evil racism in police, evil racism in all the white nationalists and all the white supremacists running around our country all the time.

And it can have tragic consequences. Micah Johnson was really the end of the first BLM movement because he was a terrorist BLM supporter. What we’re seeing here is another instance of somebody who was moved to violence, in part by — you’re right, mental illness and other things, but in part by — what he was hearing about the Rittenhouse trial. What else could make sense?

CLAY: I don’t think there’s any doubt that the media now basically finds a scab and continues to rip at that scab over and over and over again, and that is the focus of essentially the Democratic Party when as they’re branding their party as the everything-is-racist party. They have to constantly seek out opportunities to find racial grievance that divides us and create big stories building around that division in an effort to try to motivate. Now, here’s the one, I would say, positive associated with this, Buck. You rightly point out that in 2016… I would also say it’s not a surprise that BLM bubbles up in 2016, in an election year, and then it bubbles up again in 2020 in an election year.

BUCK: That’s right. It’s the left’s shock troops.

CLAY: I’ll put a lot of money on the fact that no matter what the election is, in 2024, BLM is going to come surging back four years from now, three years from now when we have another presidential election. They are, to your point, the antagonist brigade of the Democratic Party designed to emphasize even more how everything is racist. But I think the media… I think it’s fair to say the media has blood on its hands when it comes to creating falsehoods.

This is what I talk about, Buck, when I say we have an anecdote-driven culture that doesn’t reflect what’s really going on. Most people in America, every single day — a lot of them listening to us, white, Black, Hispanic, Asian — they all get along. They don’t judge each other based on the color of their skin, based on these identity politics characteristics that are so inherent in the Democrat Party. They don’t sit around on social media all day long.

This is what happens, Buck. As soon as an incident like this happens, people go rush to see who the perpetrator is to allow it to fit into their narrative worldview. If this had been a deranged white guy, it would be CNN’s opportunity to talk about how deranged white people are. We had a great caller yesterday or the day before talking about the Boulder shooting at the grocery store.

When they initially had photos and the guy looked like was a white guy, and everybody in the mainstream media was like, “Here we go! Crazy white guy again.” As soon as it came out that he was Syrian, that story disappeared. Nobody wanted to talk about it in Boulder. White guy has a gun, goes in and shoots people; it’s evidence of how much of fundamentally white supremacist country it is. As soon as it came out it was Syrian guy, that story got memory holed. It disappeared. That’s what they’re trying to do with this car murder scene in Waukesha.

BUCK: One of the most powerful tools of propaganda in our society or any society of mass media, is when is a single incident representative of a national trend, national truth, everything that’s going on?

CLAY: That’s right.

BUCK: When we talk about the narrative, it’s something happened somewhere. Perfect example, Officer Chauvin in Minneapolis. Is he representative of all cops across the country? Of course not.

CLAY: Of course not.

BUCK: But they pretend. They tell us, “Oh, there’s a lot of racist cops. ” When is one incident representative of what’s really going on in America, and when is one incident that seems kind of representative all of a sudden not important at all? Those are the games the media plays and this is why you cannot trust them.
