BUCK: This election coming up, I understand that for a lot of people they want to forget about the locking down of playgrounds, the arrest of lone paddleboarders, the shutdown of churches, the no gardening section allowed at the store — but you can go to a weed store down the street ’cause that’s essential — California did stuff like that.
All of the arbitrary and capricious covid madness, if you don’t send a stinging rebuke to these lockdown loons now in the midterm election coming up, it’s never gonna happen. They’re gonna get away with it and they might even build on it. And that’s why Trump over the weekend at a rally made it clear the GOP — I mean, he’s obviously not even running in this midterm — but the GOP overall needs to unify and crush at the federal level on down every covid mandate that exists.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: One of the first things that we will do with our new Republican majorities is to end every last covid mandate. They’re still around, if you can believe it. (cheers) They’re still around. It’s hard to believe. And we will pass a bill making it illegal for any employer to interfere in personal health decisions or to fire employees for not having the vaccine.
BUCK: Meanwhile, Clay, Democrats are planning what, on the dumbass mask mandate in disguise?
CLAY: They’re gonna extend them. It appears they’re gonna bring them back, according to — I think we have a cut 29 here from the Biden White House, a morning interview here where they say, hey, yeah, I think you kind of plan on the idea of the CDC extending those mask mandates on airplanes. Listen to this.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Does that mean that extending the mask mandate in public transportation is a live option, it’s on the table?
DR. ASHISH JHA: Yeah, I — look. This is a CDC decision. And I think it is absolutely on the table. And Dr. Walensky is gonna make her decision based on the framework that the CDC scientists create and we’ll make a decision collectively based on that.
BUCK: It’s not a CDC decision. That’s a lie. It’s a White House decision. The CDC works for the White House.
CLAY: I also don’t even buy that the CDC at this point has the ability to keep extending this forever. At some point emergency authority and power has to end.
And, Buck, this a direct contradiction with what they’re doing with Title 42 where they’re saying covid is so in control now that we can open the border and allow anybody basically to come across the border, but American citizens still have to wear masks? It makes no sense, the balancing act here, at all.
