    Ryan Girdusky Updates Us on Redistricting and the Midterms

    16 Feb 2022

    BUCK: How’s the midterms looking this early? I know it’s a little bit opening stages of a political battle, but we’ve also got redistricting underway and the Mom Revolution at the school board meetings still rolling across the country. Somebody who knows a whole lot about this stuff is our friend Ryan Girdusky. He’s the author of They’re Not Listening: How the Elites Created the National Populist Revolution — he is watching all of this stuff very closely — also the founder of the 1776 Project PAC. Ryan, good to have you on.

    GIRDUSKY: Thanks for having me.

    BUCK: So, let’s start with the redistricting fight. I keep having friends that watch this very closely who ping me to say, “Why aren’t Republicans willing to take this to the mat the way Democrats are?” Is that what’s going on here or are Republicans not willing to actually wield the leverage they have to get the best districting for themselves possible going to the midterms? What are you seeing?

    GIRDUSKY: No. That’s not exactly the story. Republicans are getting their clock cleaned with redistricting. Democrats are gonna walk into the 2022 cycle with about if you find — 15 more seats in their preference than they had in the last election cycle. So it’s partially because of the 2018 elections. Let’s start with that. The 2018 elections, Republicans got wiped out in governor’s elections across the entire Midwest and the Southwest.

    It really, really, really hurt them. You have states like New Mexico, which had Susana Martinez 2010 as their governor with a Republican statehouse and now you have all Democrats. Same thing in Nevada, same thing in Illinois, same thing in New York now. All of those states now where the party is able to redistrict have really gutted Republicans’ chances of picking up some seats.

    Now New York, for example, Republicans are gonna lose about four seats or they’re gonna be less likely to keep four seats in a state where they didn’t have that many compared to Democrats to begin with. Republicans have tried in states like Tennessee, for example, they gutted one of the two Republican seats. In Georgia, they are very aggressive — in Texas, they were very aggressive — in their redistricting. The problem is the courts have been striking them down in states like Ohio and North Carolina.

    Other states where Republicans are very aggressively redistricting. You know, in North Carolina’s case it was a Democrat-majority court. In Ohio, it was a Republican-majority court who struck them down. And the courts have not been holding Democrats the same account. In New Jersey, for example, Jersey is an extremely aggressive Democrat-gerrymandered state, and in some of the places, districts are connected by water.

    They’re not even connected by landmasses, and still the court upheld the Democrat redistricting effort. So it’s partially been because of the courts striking down Republicans and also in the, quote-unquote, nonpartisan redistricting it’s very clearly favor Democrats in the cases of California, for example, some incumbent Republicans are having a very, very tough time.

    CLAY: So early on the argument was that Republicans were going to gain a lot of from redistricting. Obviously, that has not been the case as you are laying it out here. What would be your forecast for what is likely to happen in the House now that we kind of have a sense at least somewhat of what these school districts are gonna look like nationwide? What would be your over/under estimate for Republican pickup, and what chance would you even give for Democrats to be able to hold on, keep Nancy Pelosi in power in the House?

    GIRDUSKY: Well, so there are a bunch of big states that have still not presented their maps: Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Those are the big ones especially. They still don’t have their maps present. So we don’t know. About a hundred-some-odd seats are still out. With the seats that we know we have, I would say Republicans have probably a 75 to 80% chance of winning back the House. It’s looking like it’s gonna be — as of right now, as of today, it’s — an R-plus-four map. That’s what the Democrat internals say. That’s what the median public polls are all showing. Republicans right… So last year it was about a D-plus-seven map nationally. It’s looking like an R-plus-four map.

    CLAY: That’s monster swing like a double-digit swing from a minus seven to a plus four if you’re Republican.

    GIRDUSKY: Right. It’s a gigantic swing. And it puts Democrats in a position of weakness in places even like in Connecticut, even in Nevada in some places, even in parts of California. And Joe Biden is a giant drag on the party right now. The LA Times/Berkeley poll in California, just of California came out with their estimate saying Joe Biden has a 47% approval rating in the state of California.

    This is a state he won by 30 points just a year ago. Kamala Harris has a 38% approval rating. Only 60% of Democrats and 30% of independents support or have a favorable opinion of Kamala Harris at this point. Now, that doesn’t mean Democrats are gonna start voting en masse for Republicans, but what it does show is that they may not vote at all, which wasn’t the case in several of these states.

    Like, in New Jersey last year when we had the governor’s election, Republicans barely lost the governor’s election, but they had the biggest swing of the state legislative election in 30 years. Just yesterday, last night, you had in San Francisco all three liberal, progressive school board members be kicked out. And in New Jersey you had Republicans win city council races in New Jersey in very, very blue areas.

    Because Republican turnout is going to be closer toward the presidential election while Democrat turnout will not be nearly as high, which will absolutely be what saves a lot of Republicans who will find themselves because of redistricting in bluer school districts. So right now, I would say Republicans have a very good chance of picking up seats across the board and are looking at — if they win the House — probably with a 230 to 240 seat majority, which is a comfortable majority.

    It’s not huge. But I will say this which is the most important thing. A lot of Republicans come next year will be representing seats that Biden won. So expect a lot more moderation coming from Republicans simply because they’ll be representing school districts that voted against Trump in 2020. So the party will be bigger, but it will probably be a lot more moderate than previous — 2010 Tea Party — wave elections simply, because they won’t be representing seats that went for the president. They’ll just be representing more moderate or independent-leaning areas.

    BUCK: We’re speaking to Ryan Girdusky, author of They’re Not Listening and founder of the 1776 Project PAC. Ryan, what do you think? If you were to line up just two or three messaging points for the GOP at the national level going into this midterms between now and when the votes are cast? You look at the data day in and day out. You follow very closely the competitive races, what is the secret sauce, so to speak? What’s the magic combo? What should Republicans be hammering between now and Election Day?

    GIRDUSKY: Right. So I’m writing, actually, a thing about this for my National Populist Substack, our National Populist newsletter on Substack. This is the perfect time for what Trump campaigned on in 2016. Think about this. You have massive runway inflation which is a secret tax and the weakening of the dollar on the working class population. You have now Year Three of the pandemic.

    Most products that they claimed were gonna be made in America are still not made in America. Those are medical supplies, our military supplies, essential services that the American public really desperately wants. It came out two days ago that China reneged on their promise with President Trump to buy $200 billion more of American products. That never happened. And, lastly, the border and immigration are a complete disaster area.

    A new Gallup poll found that 70% of Republicans want to reduce legal immigration — legal, not illegal — and illegal immigration is the number one issue driving Republican voters. If you want your base to turnout, you need to emphasize all those things. It has to be a message of economic populism and nationalism when it comes to immigration. That is the message to hammer home.

    That is what delivered Donald Trump his election in 2016. You can say it without being inflammatory, but this is the message that people are genuinely concerned about. People — at this point with new variants and new strains — threatening to lock them down again. They are more hesitant toward mass immigration than ever and they are sitting there and sighing, we are the country that defeated the Nazis and the communists in the last century.

    Why can we still not produce ventilators in this country? Why are we dependent on Mexico for our military equipment? This is a gigantic national security, economic issue. This is the issue to lean into. And if I was also a Republican, I would say lean away from issues of promising to curb Medicare and Social Security. It is the one issue, really, that Republicans are still losing to Democrats on is fear from seniors that they’re gonna cut entitlements.

    And lastly not but leastly, of course, critical race theory in schools. It is the biggest wedge issue for suburban moms, the people who hated Donald Trump, but they look at their children right now and the indoctrination and the mask mandates and the school shutdowns, and they are furious about it. And they are blaming it on the Democratic Party, which has been pro-masking and pro-shutdown for two straight years.

    CLAY: Good stuff. Ryan Girdusky giving you a road map right there. Thanks for the update on redistricting. We’ll talk to you again soon.

    GIRDUSKY: Thank you.

    Psaki Refuses to Comment on Durham Revelations

    16 Feb 2022

    JACQUI HEINRICH: Durham says there was an outside company with ties to the Clinton camp monitoring server data info and the Executive Office of the President through the Obama administration, possibly into the Trump administration. Do you know if there’s still a system picking up server data on the GOP and if not, when it stopped?

    PSAKI: Again, I — I know you asked my colleague a few questions about this the other day. Uh, but I would point you any questions about this. The Department of Justice.

    JACQUI HEINRICH: And then is what was described in the filing there — “monitoring internet traffic” — is that generally speaking with that, because considered something along the lines of spying?

    PSAKI: Again, I would point to the Department of Justice.

    BUCK: “I’ll point you to the Department of Justice,” Psaki Bomb tells everybody about the Durham report, which is not much of an answer here. Is monitoring internet track of a rival political candidate spying? Well, let’s ask. If this was happening in…? I don’t know. If this was happening in Honduras or in Vietnam or in Ukraine, I think the answer would be, “Yes, it is spying to do that.”

    But we can’t get any answers from this White House on anything. Look, Clay and I are gonna follow the Durham report situation closely as it continues to unfold. Durham has a reputation for being a dogged, relentless, and nonpolitical — as much as one can be, everybody brings their own thoughts to this stuff — prosecutor and investigator. But remember — and, Clay, this is the key point, and we’re seeing more and more of this.

    It doesn’t matter what the evidence is. It doesn’t even matter what the report finds. If the Biden DOJ does not want to bring charges against anybody up to and including Hillary Clinton herself, it doesn’t happen. So I don’t want to people getting ahead of themselves thinking, “Oh, we’re gonna lock her up.” Not while Biden’s in office, you’re not. No way.

    CLAY: Here’s an easy thought experiment. You just heard what Jen Psaki said when she was asked that question — which, credit, by the way, the media member who asked that question ’cause it is a very valid thing to be asking — what do you think the response would have been if the allegations had come out the exact same way except Trump had been being accused of spying on Hillary Clinton?

    Do you think that they would have said, “Oh, we’re not really gonna get into that; that’s a Justice Department question,” or do you think they would have said, “Well, this is further evidence of why the former president was a direct threat upon the sanctity of American life and democracy and why we need to investigate January 6th to such an extent,” on and on and on? Her answer would have been totally different.

    BUCK: You’d have an endless parade of half-wit legal analysts on CNN talking about whether you could try a president in office for treason or something. They would be taking the dial of their hysteria to 11 on this stuff. There are no good answers they can offer up on this, ’cause for anybody who’s been paying attention to the Russia collusion lie from the very beginning, this was all a setup. It was a political hit job. It was a hoax. And it’s the biggest dirty trick that anyone’s ever seen in politics in my lifetime for sure. So, what are they gonna say? It’s kind of like the mask thing. “We were wrong, we’re idiots, sorry”? No they’re never gonna say that.

    CLAY: You don’t think that’s gonna be in the State of the Union opening line from Joe Biden, “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I’m an idiot. There’s no justification.”

    BUCK: That would be great. “I’ll tell you, I’m too old for the job. I’m not smart enough for the job, and I’m gonna give it to Kamala, except that’s gonna make it worse.” Think about it.

    CLAY: I think there will probably be a prolonged uncomfortableness at the attempt to take his mask off and then begin reading off the teleprompter.

    Pennsylvania Senate Candidate Dave McCormick Joins Us

    16 Feb 2022

    CLAY: We appreciate all of you hanging out with us all over the world and, frankly, now around the world as we continue to power through and keep rolling on all of this. We are joined now by Dave McCormick. He’s a combat veteran, Pennsylvania Senate candidate. Dave is with us right now, and he is a seventh generation Pennsylvanian — which is pretty impressive — went to West Point, has been in the business universe for a long time.

    He had a great “Let’s Go, Brandon” Super Bowl ad up at your website that was not allowed to run elsewhere. So, the first question that I have for you — and thanks for taking the time with us, Dave — what made you decide…? You’re highly successful in the world of business. You’ve been influential in so many different ways. I know you were a big Trump supporter. What made you decide to step off of the sidelines and run for the Senate in Pennsylvania? What was ultimately the tipping point for you?

    MCCORMICK: Hey, Clay thanks for having me on. It’s great to be with you. I think the big driver of this was the sentiment I tried to capture in the ad, which is I believe the country is really headed in a terrible direction, and it’s a combination of the weakness that we see in our policies — 40-year high inflation — due to the socialist policies of the Biden administration, which is really hurting working families. We see it in our open border where the numbers…

    I just was at the border last week. The numbers coming across our border of illegal immigrants is staggering but having huge consequences for Pennsylvania where fentanyl is on the rise. We have our sanctuary city of Philadelphia, all-time high murder rate. And we see it in the energy policy, which is really killing Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is one of the great energy resources of the world. If it was a country, it’d be the fourth biggest reserves of natural gas.

    And, frankly, we see it in our culture, in our schools, the cancel culture, the inability to sort of have a teaching of history, anything like the history of America that I know, the exceptional America. So, I’m looking at that and I’m… Afghanistan was a breaking point for me, that tragedy. And my wife and I, who have both lived the American dream, said, “We’re gonna jump in,” and it’s a time for all patriots to ask themselves what they can do to make sure we save our country and push back against this weakness that we’re seeing across our leadership. So, that’s the reason behind it.

    BUCK: Dave, it’s Buck. Thanks for being with us. You know, we see a number of places across the country — we’ve been following this very closely — of parents showing up at school board meetings sometimes with viral videos. Generally, they’re outraged about, well, CDC mask and school masking policies I should say. CRT being taught in schools, the school the shutdowns.

    How has that been playing out in Pennsylvania? Clay and I talk about the mom revolts, which includes dads, too, but the mom revolt feels like that is the more fierce, tip-of-the-spear part of it in some ways. Are you having a similar moment where it feels like there could be real energy from parents that will change the political trajectory in Pennsylvania and maybe have ramifications beyond that?

    MCCORMICK: Yeah. I absolutely do. At a big-picture level, I think what you see is a difference between two big ideas, the ideas that are being promoted by Biden and his administration — which is the government should play a big role in our lives and it should decide really important things to our future — and the ideas that we as conservatives believe in, which is it’s about individual freedom and individual responsibilities.

    And there’s nowhere that that’s more clear than in our schools where you see these mask mandates and the test mandates and vaccines and so forth being dictated by government and by school officials or state officials, as opposed to parents. And it’s a complete distortion of what our country is based on in terms of the emphasis. And nobody knows better about what should be taught in our schools and the decisions around our children than our parents.

    And so I see it. I hear it. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Democrats or Republicans, doesn’t matter whether it’s Republicans in the outside — outskirts of Philadelphia or the Republicans in the center of the state, it’s a big issue and it’s reflective of a broader push by the Democrats to have government play a much more intrusive role in our lives.

    CLAY: We’re talking to Dave McCormick, Pennsylvania Senate candidate in the Republican primary coming up. Dave, I know you’ve worked in business for much of your life in addition to the fact that you went to West Point and served in the military. I’m curious how often in your conversations — and I bet it’s often — you would talk to people involved in business who would say, “Man.

    “Because of mob-like social media environment out there, our companies put out statements that I personally,” meaning the CEO or someone running those companies, “don’t agree with, but we feel like we have to do it, otherwise we end up being a target”? How often would you hear leaders of companies saying things like that privately that they wouldn’t say publicly?

    MCCORMICK: It’s been a growing trend, and you see the push over the recent last three or four years where there’s much more of a focus on social issues within our business community. And the best example of this, which I’d point you to is Business Roundtable made a statement a couple years ago that a number of CEOs signed about stakeholder capitalism.

    And it talked about all the different things that companies should be doing, and it really took on a much broader social agenda and involving CEOs and politics. And I think this is a trend across our country, and I think it’s really a terrible trend, because companies become political actors, our military leaders become political actors, and there is this drumbeat of pressure to take on these other priorities as the responsibility of business.

    And I think we need to enter that world with great care, because our capitalist system is the envy of the world. It’s the reason we’re the most prosperous company in the world, the most dynamic country in the world, and we need to have our businesses focused on business and generating profit and serving their workers and employees in an excellent way.

    BUCK: Dave, thanks so much for being with us here. Dave McCormick. He’s running for Senate in Pennsylvania. Sir, appreciate your time. We’ll talk to you again soon.

    MCCORMICK: Hey, thanks for having me, guys.

    Sara Carter Tells Us Who the Canadian Truckers Really Are

    16 Feb 2022

    CLAY: We bring in now Sara Carter, who has been on the ground in Canada a great deal. I have watched many of her broadcasts, some of them while I’m waiting to be a guest on the same Fox News shows. So we bring in Sara now. And I appreciate you making the time, Sara. First question for you.

    CARTER: Yes.

    CLAY: What are these people like? What is it like to be among them? What is the vibe? How would you describe them? Who would you compare them to in the United States? You’ve been on the ground there with them. Take us into that experience.

    CARTER: I would compare them to my own family: Hardworking Americans, hardworking Canadians. I met French Canadian farmers, the kind of guys you meet that spend their whole day out in the field working on the farmland with their own hands. Truckers who deliver the food to our businesses. The people that we entrust to ensure that we get our products delivered to our stores.

    These are hardworking, good people. I was there with them. I was never worried about my safety with them. They were so kind. In fact, I spent some time outside of Ottawa. It was kind of like their home base, and it was about maybe 20 minutes outside of Ottawa, they had set up a tent on some farmland, and it was just incredible to watch them. You had truckers getting up at 5 in the morning and cooking breakfast for all the other truckers.

    The families were there supporting each other; so, some of them had their children there. They even had like a little barbershop setup. These are just good, hardworking people that want to be heard. And I think much like Americans felt, Clay and Buck, when Hillary Clinton called everyone deplorables that supported Trump, I think the Canadians feel the same way. They feel like Trudeau was an elitist.

    They called him a tyrant. I’ve got grandmothers sending me emails this morning — several different grandmothers, believe it or not — and one that just told me, “I’m a grandmother from British Columbia, Canada.” She has a son who’s a trucker, and she said, “There are children in the convoy, and now Trudeau is…” They’re hearing him threatening to use tear gas on them or possibly even an LRAD machine — I guess that’s a loud noise machine — in an effort to try to get them off the streets and stop them from their protests.

    People are frustrated. They’re angry, they’re frustrated, but they’re peaceful. And this is the difference. They are peaceful. They are not destroying businesses physically. They are standing their ground, and they have left the roadways open for incoming traffic and outgoing traffic and I think that’s something that we need to be very clear here with is that they’re standing their ground, but they are doing their best to not disturb or arm the businesses around, much like I think Trudeau’s harmed the businesses with the stringent covid mandates.

    BUCK: Speaking to Sara Carter of Fox News, investigative journalist. You know, Sara you’ve actually been on the front lines of conflicts and insurgencies. You were in Afghanistan —

    CARTER: Correct.

    BUCK: — for a long period of time and have done the kind of reporting that people actually think of when journalists are talking about how they’re bringing the truth to the people. When you see the Trudeau government referring to the people that you spent time with, that you were talking to, that you were reporting on and bringing ground truth in this conversation to everybody listening about… When the Trudeau government makes it sound like they’re domestic terrorists, they’re white nationalists, neo-Nazis, what is your response to that?

    CARTER: Well, it’s pretty incredible. I did not run into any white nationalists. I didn’t run into any racists. I did run into people from all over the world and people that came from all over the world, much like people emigrate to America for democracy and freedom. While I was there I ran into a gentleman. He said, “I’m African Cuban, and I’m out here, and I guess I’m part of Trudeau’s fringe.”

    He couldn’t believe it when he heard me speaking Spanish, and I said, oh, I’m half Cuban and we started chatting. And I asked him about that. I said, “Have you been getting any, you know, pushback from any of the truckers? Is there any concern here about racism?” and he said, “Absolutely not.” He said, “My wife is white, we’re here with the truckers, we’ve been here since the beginning, we’re all one big family.

    “I met people from Iraq. I met a rabbi was out there saying some prayers for everyone.” So these remarks that were coming from Trudeau are flat-on-their-face lies because he’s generalizing that the entire population of truckers that are there, the entire population, these are the people that he is supposed to be working for, the hardworking men and women of Canada and the families who all they want to do is be heard. Look, a lot of people have lost their businesses.

    I met with a businessman. He and his wife earned a restaurant. Because they wouldn’t card people at the in front of their restaurant for their vaccination records, the government went in, they took them out of their restaurant, shut their restaurant down, boarded it up, took everything away from them — and they were standing out there with the truckers. I met people who told me that their family members — despite the fact that they had all been vaccinated — couldn’t go in to a hospital to support their daughter going through chemotherapy or couldn’t even visit her because of the stringent covid mandates.

    Here’s a family that’s all been vaccinated. So I think what this is is people not just in Canada but all over the world saying, “Look, enough’s enough. The governments have reached far too much into our lives, into our personal lives. They want to control our bodies,” and now you can see what’s happening in Canada. They’ve taken control of bank accounts. They’re planning seizing their trucks and taking away their businesses and taking away their livelihoods.

    And they’re doing it under these extraordinary members that have basically given the government carte blanche on all of the people and all of the laws. And so now what are the Canadians supposed to do? Who are they supposed to turn to? I’ve talked to them today, talked so some last night as well. They say they are not moving. They will not move. They’re demanding that those mandates be lifted, and they’re demanding to talk to Trudeau. Although some of them believe that it’s already too late, that Trudeau is far beyond doing anything different than what he’s already doing, which is lowering the hammer on them.

    CLAY: Sara, having been there — Buck and I were talking about this earlier in the show — what do you think will happen if the military or if authority figures armed certainly try to go in there to clear out the truckers? Will it get violent? What kind of scene do you expect to see based on your experience there?

    CARTER: Based on my experience in Canada, I think what I expect to see — and I did ask that question to many of the people that were there. And we can’t always gauge what’s going to happen, right? We can’t always gauge what kind of event would cause things to turn terrible in an incident of violence. But what I have been told is that they are just going to stand their ground, and they are going to make a statement.

    And Trudeau is gonna come out… He’s already the bad guy here, right? Publicly I think he has showm what the Canadian government has done during this protest. People calling him a tyrant, people not want… They say this is the end of Trudeau ‘s career. It’s over for him now. We’ll see about that. But I really believe that the people are gonna hold their ground, and it’s gonna make Trudeau and the government of Canada look far worse.

    Look, they’re gonna have to literally lift those people off the ground and carry them to be arrested. They’re gonna have to drag them away, and then they’re gonna have to seize their trucks. How will Trudeau explain that to all the families and all of the people there? And let me remind you, there are a lot of children there that are gonna be dragged. Their parents are gonna be dragged away.

    And they never even had an opportunity to really voice their concerns to their own government. What they have had is the opportunity to stand up to, I believe, tyrannical behavior all over the world. And they’re teaching other people a lesson. And that’s why we’re seeing people in Vienna showing up with trucks and the situation in Australia right now and we’re seeing things happen all over the world right now and actual convoys here in the United States that are planning to start at the first week of March.

    BUCK: Sara, is there a sense from the truckers that not only is it their intention to hold out until the tyrannical mandates go away, but are they aware of the fact there is some…? We had Jordan Peterson on the show earlier this week, and obviously, I know you know Jordan, Sara, and what he represents and the kind of political mind that he has. He thinks this could bring down the Trudeau government. Are the truckers aware that that could happen? Was there any discussion of that?

    CARTER: Yeah, they absolutely… There was discussion of that. In fact, that came up quite often, and they do believe that this will be the end of the Trudeau government. They will not take this anymore. I’m putting it this way, because it’s not just about the mandates. You brought it up yourself. These accusations, basically calling these truckers racists, misogynists, these lies that have been perpetrated in the media by Trudeau himself, by Trudeau himself, and people aren’t buying it anymore.

    What kind of quality of a leader do you have in a nation when your leader goes against the people that do the toughest job, that have the hardest work? Some of these people have been sitting there for weeks now out in farm fields that are filled with mud and lane and slush and snow. They’ve had to come up with all kinds of ingenious ways to continue operating their vehicles when they tried taking their gas tanks and all of the gas that was being supplied to keep the trucks running in Ottawa.

    The people in Ottawa started coming out and they had so many citizens that weren’t truckers, and everyone started carrying gases cans by the police and decorating them like purses and putting water in them. And so the police didn’t know what they were picking up a gas can with water or a gas can that was just decorated like a purse. And they had kind of an underground. They built kind of an underground gas can railway, you know, so that they could keep their trucks running.

    So the people mean business. I think it’s spreading across Canada. I think we’re seeing the reflection of once again, the working class standing up and saying, “I need you to listen to me. This is over. We’re not gonna put up with these mandates anymore. We’re not gonna allow this to go any further.” I think they’re really concerned. Trudeau talks a lot about the economy and stopping the economy, but I can tell you this.

    It never… It was so blatantly obvious that the economy in Ottawa wasn’t suffering because of the truckers. The economy in Alberta wasn’t suffering because of the truckers. The economy was suffering and is suffering because of these extreme mandates that have harmed people’s businesses, that have taken freedom away from individuals, that have taken freedom from families and that have really pitted the, I would call, working class against the elite and government classes.

    And that’s something that we should all be concerned about. And I think we saw what was happening in America, we see now the Democrats, even in Democratic states, backing off from these mandates because I think they see the writing on the wall. Here, the midterms are coming up. For Trudeau, it’s gonna be the end of his political career.

    BUCK: Sara Carter of Fox News, investigative reporter, journalist. Sara, thank you for your work on this one. We’ll talk to you again soon.

    CARTER: Yeah. I look forward to it. Thank you.

    Kimmel Suddenly Mocks Mask Hypocrisy

    16 Feb 2022

    CLAY: A couple things I wanted to hit you with. We were talking earlier in the show, Buck, about Defiant L’s, which is one of the fun Twitter accounts.

    BUCK: You gotta tell everybody what they do. ‘Cause, like, we live in the Twitterverse. Ninety-five percent of our people right now don’t. So let’s tell them what the heck is this thing.

    CLAY: @DefiantLs is a great Twitter account that posts left-wing hypocrisy. So someone says, for instance, “I’ll never take this Trump vaccine, why in the world would anybody do it, this is crazy,” and then as soon as Biden becomes president, they flip it and they say, “Anybody who’s not taking this vaccine is an imbecile! How in the world would you not be?

    “What a bunch of idiots these Trump people are, right?” I mean, just exposing the direct emotional hypocrisy connected very often to the left wing. They were suspended. They now are back. That just happened. I want to speak to this hypocrisy right now. Many of you are out in Los Angeles, you listen to us. We appreciate you behind enemy lines, although now you’re in the majority if you don’t like Joe Biden, according to a recent Berkeley poll that we talked about earlier in the show.

    But the L.A. Rams won the Super Bowl on Sunday, and they are having a celebration today. The celebration, in order to attend it, Buck, you have to be vaccinated. It’s outdoors. People are driving by. By the way, L.A. had an outdoor vaccine mandate until like yesterday even though I was out there all of last week, I didn’t even know I was supposed to be wearing a mask. Not that I would have done it, but I didn’t even know I was supposed to be wearing a mask while I was walking around on the street, although, Buck, I did get dinged for not having my mask on in an Uber. I got an email. It’s the first time it’s happened.

    BUCK: I’ve had this many times where they then make me take a selfie with a mask on. That’s how you know you got reported, someone tattled on you, some driver tattled on you. You have to take a photo of yourself with a mask on before you can arrange for another Uber to pick up. Uber is a super lib company. It’s the same as Facebook and Google and all these the places. Totally nut. Clay, you know who I love? The outdoor mask thing is crazy. We all know it. L.A. just said we’re getting rid of their outdoor mask mandate. I didn’t even know that was a thing that they still had.

    CLAY: That’s right.

    BUCK: This is just lunacy. But my favorite people are the ones who in recent weeks have been sharing the videos of themselves. Here’s what it reminds me of. I saw a really interesting documentary years ago about people who are getting basic like cataract and other surgery in North Korea from some NGO. And the thing that was fascinating was, first of all, how hard it was to obviously get in there and they’re just doing free surgery for people, right?

    What do you think the first thing is that every person when they can finally see again, the first thing… You think they turn and thank the NGO? Do you think they thank the doctor? They literally — one after another in North Korea — turn around in tears to thank the Dear Leader portrait that’s always in the room with them, “Thank you, Kim Jong-un, for giving me back my sight.”

    It reminds me of that when you see these blue check libs do the “I have covid and I’m really sick, but I just want to say I’m so thankful for my fourth vaccine shot and all the great guidance from the CDC and Dr. Fauci!” It’s like, what will it take for you to understand who your oppressor is? What more has to happen?

    CLAY: And I always say if I hadn’t gotten vaccinated, it would have been way more serious, right? Probably not. I hadn’t been vaccinated and I had covid twice and I had no issues with it. So couple things happened in L.A. One, the hypocrisy of the Super Bowl has connected on a level way beyond just conservative media, right? Like this thing. I shared a video from the Super Bowl, shared a hundred thousand times. And there was… Did you see this story?

    We had it up at OutKick, Buck. One of the top teachers union members in the state of California was caught posting photos from inside of the Rams-49ers game — which was the NFC Championship Game the week before. He’s been arguing that it’s not safe for kids to be able to be unmasked in classrooms ’cause the teachers are there, yet he was unmasked in a 70,000-seat stadium. And even Jimmy Kimmel took note of this on his program. Which you know when they’re making fun of the stupidity of mask mandates even on late-night talk shows, it’s cut through in a big way. Listen to cut 11.

    CLAY: It cut through.

    BUCK: A little bit, yeah. But the rules, they’ve always been stupid. There’s no revelation of, “Wait, these rules are arbitrary and capricious and ridiculous.” It’s been that way the whole time. Clay, this morning I wanted to pick up a little gluten-free zucchini bread. Don’t worry about where I go to get these things.

    CLAY: Oh, what in the world! (laughs)

    BUCK: You know, I’m a fancy guy.

    CLAY: (laughing) Zucchini bread.

    BUCK: I go to my little cafe to get my gluten-free zucchini bread, and everyone in a line, I got any indoor scarf on, and everyone’s got their mask on in the line but sitting down unmasked.

    CLAY: Of course.

    BUCK: And you’re just looking at them like, “People, we are all hamsters in a maze right now,” and Fauci’s going (impression), “Stop, go, stop, go, maybe so.” Enough. I’ve had enough.

    CLAY: It’s so dumb. It’s really, really dumb.

    Gelato Terrorism! Canada Doxes Trucker Donor Data

    16 Feb 2022

    BUCK: In Canada right now, there’s a story that I think really illustrates a lot. You know, there was the GiveSendGo data leak. GiveSendGo is the platform for sending money that people went to after GoFundMe which, to Clay’s point, also came into controversy ’cause people there were giving money for Kyle Rittenhouse. I think that got shut down. And then they found out people who had donated —

    CLAY: Showed up at their door, knocking on the door. “How dare you give $50 to the Kyle Rittenhouse fund!” There were media doing this.

    BUCK: And this is also, the thuggish left — also known as the authoritarian, collectivist Democrat Party — they always want to know who’s giving money to whom. They are always in favor of trying to out conservative donors or causes, donors to causes that they don’t like ’cause they want to name, shame and… It’s classic Alinsky: Freeze the target, isolate the target, destroy the target, right? Well, if you are a gelato cafe owner in Ottawa, Canada, now Stella Luna Gelato Café has closed down, Clay, ’cause someone hacked into the GiveSendGo database, and I think this is very… Who? Tucker pointed this out on the show last night. I think we should know who did this.

    CLAY: Kind of a big deal.

    BUCK: Kind of a big deal. You know, those companies you’d think they’re doing massive financial transactions. Hacking into it is not a minor thing. So they got hacked into, and the owner of this cafe gave $250. Tammy Giuliani. I wonder if it’s any relation, by the way. I have no idea.

    CLAY: $250.

    BUCK: 250 bucks.

    CLAY: Yeah.

    BUCK: So she thought it was a peaceful protest group and it was uniting people and she talked to this a little bit and she now had to shut down her gelato store in Ottawa because the Ottawa Citizen and all the Canadian media had picked up this story and they’re putting her name all over the place. She’s already shut down guys ’cause of all the death threats and everything else. People are calling in.

    They’re calling in threatening to throw bricks through her window, burn her store to the ground, and the media is naming and shaming! They’re going out to the people from the GiveSendGo list saying, “Hey, we’re calling you because your name was one of the donors. What do you think about this?” We know exactly what this is! This is the establishment using its muscle to crush private political opinion and dissent and funding. What’s a more free country right now — people are pointing this out — Canada or Hungary, which the left is always saying is authoritarian?

    CLAY: It makes me want to donate money to the Canadian truckers. You know what’s gonna happen, Buck. I said live on the air that was donating money to the defense fund on January 6th, and then I went and donated money. At some point somebody’s gonna hack that January 6th defense fund, and there are gonna be all these articles written as if I haven’t already publicly said that I donated money. They’re gonna be like, “Oh, Clay Travis was donating money to the fund!

    “What do you have to say for yourself?” Why don’t you go back a month when I said live on the air that I was doing it. But doesn’t this make you…? I mean, it makes me want to donate to the Canadian truckers’ cause and also it makes me want to go buy gelato from that gelato place even if I can’t get it here shipped to me because it won’t make it.

    BUCK: Now, you have to wonder. Given Trudeau ‘s invocation of the emergency act, which is really the Canadian version of the insurrection act.

    CLAY: Martial law, basically.

    BUCK: Yeah. It’s a serious escalation. It hasn’t been done in… This is a new version of an even older law, and this has not been invoked in many decades. And so you have to wonder, would the owner of the gelato cafe for this $250 donation…? Under Trudeau’s governance right now, martial law, they could seize her bank account. They could shut down her payment processor. They could probably deny her the right to travel in or out of the country. They could seize her passport, Canadian passport.

    They could, I’m sure, find a reason to say that she should be detained, she should be put in Jamaica for domestic terror financing. Now, you go down the list. Now, they haven’t done this but I’m saying the powers they have given themselves right now to crush the trucker protests would allow this. And the media, Clay, instead of saying, “Hold on a second,” the Canadian media — which is state broadcasting, so everyone knows that.

    Instead of saying, “Hold on, this is not what you have in a free society,” they’re saying, “Yeah, we saw your name on that list, hot dog stand owner. Be tough if somebody sees this and decides they want to threaten your life and your family’s life for supporting domestic terrorists with a $50 donation.” That’s what the media in Canada’s doing right now.

    CLAY: Oh, and imagine if the same thing has happened to BLM in the United States. If there had been a list of all the BLM donors coming out and then it had come out that there was a random store owner — gelato owner in, I don’t know, Minneapolis or somewhere in Milwaukee where BLM was particularly active — and all of a sudden, Republicans started berating that store such that it had to shut down. The media would cover it, but they would cover that gelato owner as the modern-day equivalent of Rosa Parks, right? They would turn that gelato owner into an incredible hero.

    BUCK: For sure. For sure.

    CLAY: And they would label all the people who were coming after them as the worst people on the planet. Now, again, I always try to — and I know it’s rare — stand on principle over politics. I think you should be able to donate to political causes that you believe in — and it’s gonna be a wild idea — and not have your business shut down as a result whatever political cause you are supporting!

    BUCK: Think about the logic here in Canada. They’re declaring that this protest or anyone who shows up to it is effectively engaged in some form of illegal activity.

    CLAY: Terrorism!

    BUCK: Right, and they’ll point to… They’ll say there was a flag here or a person threatened someone there or whatever it may be. BLM burned a police station to the ground! People acting in the name of BLM — which, people don’t have membership cards for this stuff. Sso BLM, for all intents and purposes, tried to burn down a federal courthouse in Portland, destroyed whole sections of neighborhoods, looted stores, dozens of people were killed. Black Lives Matter raised almost a hundred million dollars.

    CLAY: I’s amazing — and they don’t even know what happened to it, by the way.

    BUCK: No one knows where the money went. Could you imagine if the Trump administration had said — and, by the way, maybe they should have — we’re going to use domestic terror finance statutes to not just scrutinize but seize millions and millions of dollars that citizens of this country or people in this country donated to BLM?

    CLAY: And were gonna label ’em terrorists.

    BUCK: They would burn down even more neighborhoods, Clay.

    CLAY: Well, and to be fair, the media would say this is wildly inappropriate action for a president to have undertaken. And that’s why I always say you have to stand on principle and stand behind the precedents that you support. That’s how Team Reality wins. Because look. You’re right there’s 20% of the population, frankly, on both sides that are gonna excuse no matter what happens. This is where I learned, Buck, when I did sports. If a team had a player do something inappropriate and he was a player on your team, you would bend over backwards to defend whatever he did, right? Like, Ray Rice knocked a woman out on video, running back for the Baltimore Ravens.

    BUCK: I remember that.

    CLAY: Right after he did that, Buck, people showed up at the Ravens practice in Ray Rice jerseys and said, “Hey, you know what? He deserves another chance.” You know why? Because he was a decent running back for the Baltimore Ravens. They were a fan of that team. Fandom is based on emotion, not rationality. And there are people who are fans of political parties and will defend whatever that political parties does to the end of the earth.

    But that’s not most people. Most people are rational and how you win in Team Reality is by doing what you’re pointing out: Just taking whatever the facts are, subtly altering them and saying imagine if we had done this, what would the response have been, and the lightbulb goes off for a lot of people on Team Reality, on Team Sanity, and they say, “Boy. This is really wrong.”

    BUCK: I think some of the big, lasting take-aways, conclusions that people have from this whole period of the pandemic and also the aftermath of BLM, Clay, will be a massive and justified distrust of government institutions, both in this country and in Canada and a lot of the what’s referred to as the Anglosphere, the English-speaking world — Australia, New Zealand — and then also a recognition that the corporate media.

    Just like the way Big Government and big companies love each other, the corporate media pretends to be on the side of the downtrodden, the oppressed, and a voice for the voiceless; they are actually the handmaidens of those in power. They will support those not only who are in power but who abuse — as Justin Trudeau in Canada is — power in obvious ways — obvious and, I would say, detestable aways.

    Walensky and Fauci: You’re Not Done with Masks

    16 Feb 2022

    CLAY: Rochelle Wilonsky was asked just a little bit ago, the director of the CDC, “Hey, when are you guys going to adjust your guidance and tell people they don’t have to wear these worthless masks that do nothing to prevent the spread of covid?” She wasn’t actually asked that. That’s me telling you that masks don’t work.

    BUCK: What she should have been asked.

    CLAY: She should have been asked.

    BUCK: That’s the question that should have been posed.

    CLAY: If there was actually a legitimate media looking at the real data, that’s the question she should have been asked. But she was asked when the mask mandate is going to be gone. This is what she said.

    BUCK: What have I been saying? Yeah, she can shut up. We’ve had enough of her. (laughing) What have I been saying, Clay, every day? I’m losing my… (laughing) I keep telling everybody, “They are not done,” and for people who say, “Oh, it’s not my problem,” you ever want to ride a plane again? You ever want to go into a government building again? They are not done. This whole game they’re playing is, “Yeah, we’re just following the science.”

    So, “We’re happy to give you a break for a little bit, before we bring all the crap back next winter,” even though it doesn’t work. They are saying this is a “pause.” They are not saying, “We’ll never do this again.” Until we finally get to the point where they will admit that they failed on everything, they annoyed the crap out of us for no reason, and they’re never gonna do this again, I’m not done! I’m not done, Clay.

    CLAY: I get it. I think Joe Biden’s gonna announce an end to the mask mandate on March 1st in his State of the Union. That’s my prediction, that Joe Biden is going to do, that they’re waiting, because if you look at the data right now, Buck, it’s coming down precipitously. There doesn’t… I feel like I need to knock on wood when I say it. There doesn’t appear to be a variant that is spreading rapidly anywhere around the country right now.

    And remember, they surprised a lot of people last May when they came out and removed the mask mandate then, and then they almost immediately had to walk it back while it was still summer. I think March 1st, Joe Biden wants to do away with it. And look, the reality is by March 1st almost every state is going to have done away with the mask mandates I really do think.

    BUCK: Planes?

    CLAY: Now unfortunately they’re doing it backwards, right? So kids are still gonna be —

    BUCK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    CLAY: — the first people who should be out of masks —

    BUCK: So there is no federal mask mandate.

    CLAY: Right.

    BUCK: So are you saying he’ll get rid of it on planes? Because I —

    CLAY: No, I think the he will have — this is my prediction — “and I’m proud to announce that the CDC is now saying that they are no longer recommending a mask,” right? That’s what they did in May, like, the Walmarts and everybody else. But it’s gonna be so far behind where everybody is.

    BUCK: The bright red line is planes, okay?

    CLAY: Yeah.

    BUCK: If it’s still on planes, the mask thing is not over and it’s just a question of when they’re gonna bring all the crap back. They gonna be masking up your kids in New York and California again. If he says no more on planes, then I would say, “Oh, interesting. They really have changed.”

    CLAY: It’d give you a sign that the polling was truly awful if he took it off on airplanes, right? And look. People could still wear them on airplanes. I you take it as a good sign, Buck, that Southwest Airlines has announced that they’re gonna start serving alcohol again.

    BUCK: Fauci has been asked about it.

    CLAY: About planes specifically, yes.

    BUCK: First of all, the booze on planes and all the fighting and all the things that have been going on? It’s because they’re constricting your ability to breathe normally in a very uncomfortable and high-stress environment where the rules are “shut up and obey” already, right? That’s why there are fights. You don’t need to be a clinical psychologist to figure that out and here’s Fauci being asked about the plane masking all of which.

    BUCK: Isn’t it fascinating to hear Fauci say (impression), “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, let’s wait for the numbuhs,” when in reality this is the guy… How many times did you hear him say, Clay, over the last two years (impression), “I am horrified at the prospect of masklessness and anarchy from the virus going… The surge is coming over the…” Sometimes wrong, usually wrong.

    Maybe once in a while he got it right ’cause you can’t be wrong all the time when you’re making predictions, but now you don’t want to give us any…? Why can’t he tell us what the metrics are, what the numbers are; “At this level, we will stop”? Clay, they are obsessed with being able to control everybody because there’s addicted to this.

    CLAY: And remember it was only like six weeks ago that Joe Biden said if you weren’t vaccinated you were gonna have an awful winter of death. Remember that statement that came out from the White House? And there were a bunch of experts who said January and February the hospitals were gonna get overrun again, and fortunately that didn’t end up happening with Omicron. Although the death numbers, Buck, got really close to the all-time highs that were set. Now, I think a lot of that is just death with Omicron, right, which has been the case for a long time.

    People are not dying of covid as much as they are dying with covid. And you’ve got so many people who were unhealthy and elderly, and they have three or four or five different comorbidities, and one of them is covid. But I do think that the desperation of the Biden administration is going to lead to, first of all, the CDC removing the mask mandate is big, because a lot of school districts right now are saying, “The reason we have to put kids in masks is ’cause the CDC still recommends it,” and I think Biden will take that away on March 1st. I think that’s gonna be the State of the Union.
