BUCK: There are other things going on, though, beyond just the Biden White House being awful at its job — although this is, in a sense, very directly tied to that awfulness. You know, Clay, as of today, over 60,000 Reserve National Guard soldiers have been effectively fired.

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: They have been cut off from pay and benefits for refusal to get a vaccine that they do not need, that does not stop the spread — and Biden is not only letting this happen, made this happen.

CLAY: Well, Biden wanted to mandate that every basic employee in America had to get the covid vaccine. It’s only the United States Supreme Court that stood up against his unconstitutional overreach in terms of trying to mandate everyone. This should be… I would love to hear from people out there who may be in the Reserves who are making this choice.

BUCK: Yes.

CLAY: 800-282-2882. You can call us. The covid shot, if you heard us talk with Alex Berenson yesterday, is designed for a variant of the virus that isn’t even still out there. So the shot that you were getting now is absolutely worthless against BA.5 right now, which is what’s spreading.

BUCK: It’s like mandating a flu vaccine from three or four flu seasons ago.

CLAY: Yes. That’s right.

BUCK: That’s what they’re doing right now.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

CLAY: We went to break we were discussing all of the different soldiers out there in the reserves who are theoretically going to be losing their jobs because they’re not willing to accede to a covid vaccine mandate. ‘Cause you’ll remember the Supreme Court, Buck, upheld the ability for the federal government vaccine mandate, I believe, if I remember it exactly. And also health employees, people like that were allowed — the mandates were allowed — to exist.

But the overall mandate from OSHA, if you’ll recall, that’s where it came from, was not allowed for the vast majority of employees, but there’s still lots of people out there who did face the “Get the covid shot or you lose your job” choice. And crazily, even though we now know that the covid shots don’t stop or prevent the spread of covid, we’re still requiring relatively young, healthy people in our Reserves. Up to 60,000 of them are losing their jobs — and putting that into context, 58,000, I believe, is the number of people who died in Vietnam. So effectively we’re just slicing our overall defense infrastructure by 60,000 soldiers? It’s crazy.

BUCK: At a time when —

CLAY: We may need ’em.

BUCK: — we’re just getting more and more indicators from the top of the national security apparatus, including you mentioned this, the FBI and MI5, which is the British equivalent of the FBI and then a little more than that, ’cause the domestic intelligence organization, not just a law enforcement organization. But they’re talking about the threat of China and how pervasive it is. It’s not just a military threat. It’s an economic and political and influence operation all over the world challenge for us.

We now have a military where the top brass will go on lectures about the need for diversity and inclusion to include changing standards, to include women in frontline combat roles, changing the standards so they can meet those standards, the trans agenda all across the military — and we’re firing over 60,000 Guard soldiers because they won’t get a shot they don’t need, that doesn’t protect anybody else because they can still all get — and probably have — gotten covid. This is crazy stuff.
