BUCK: You notice, we are very, still, on this show fired up and focused. We just lost, what, almost 60,000 National Guard soldiers because of covid vaccines?

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: Just because the Democrat corporate media isn’t spending time on this issue doesn’t mean it isn’t a massive, a massive challenge still, and I’m starting to see it. I’m seeing… Not just ’cause of the whole Asheville incident of 2022 —

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: — but I’m seeing that there are news stories popping up about new variants, a new variant in all of India. Oh, here is the head of HHS, for example, Secretary Becerra, saying we’re gonna see a covid resurgence just in time for the election.

BUCK: This is the forever pandemic thing now. “We know what it is.” No, you actually don’t. Covid’s gonna rip through the whole country again, ironing get it, Clay’s gonna get it, almost everybody listening to this is gonna get it, pretty much.

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: That’s what we’ve actually learned, if we’re being honest and paying attention, and here is just another version of this. NBC’s Kristen Welker saying here in NYC, Clay, they’re already talking about masking up indoors again.

BUCK: I do believe that New York City, Los Angeles, and others place are gonna reinstitute mask mandates.

CLAY: Yep.

BUCK: I think they’re also going to have vaccine passports again for the new variant that comes through. I can just tell. These people are dug in on this. They are living in a continuous delusion because, to what I was saying before, they can’t process how wrong they’ve been and how stupid they are.

CLAY: The NEA, Buck, as part of its new organizational materials, their platform, they are calling for universal masking and all kids having to get the covid shot in order to be able to in school. That’s what the NEA is calling for. I mentioned this as we went to break, that I would read you a tweet from Randi Weingarten.

BUCK: Oh, my gosh.

CLAY: She just sent this out.

Nearly 9 out of 10 respondents say schools have become too politicized, following a year of political attacks on teachers waged by politicians stoking culture wars and banning books for political gain. https://t.co/IJU8p8tjVO

The fact that she can say with straight face the reason why nine-out-of-10 respondents say schools have become too politicized is because the teachers being unfairly attacked when she kept kids out of school for nearly two years is next-level gaslighting from her.

BUCK: As somebody who at a young age had a real and diagnosed and clinically treated speech impediment and was falling behind in his class and was a consideration for special schooling — this is first, second grade, and fortunately my parents and we got it all turned around, we’re doing a radio show, you can kind of hear things. But, Clay, Randi Weingarten, the teachers unions, the Democrat Party condemned millions and millions of American children to spending years, if not their whole lives, doubting their abilities, struggling with their work, having emotional — real emotional — instability and challenges, stole 18 months of normal life from them. They may grow up for years now, they may go on for years being behind in their schoolwork, thinking it’s their fault, thinking they haven’t reached their potential. What are the ramifications of that? Because Randi Weingarten is a partisan and a coward.

CLAY: And the kids who had that happen to them could least afford to have it happen to them, which is the ultimate tragedy here. The party of equity and inclusion and equality of outcome, actually ensured that the poorest and the least advantaged kids among us would become poorer and more disadvantaged ’cause the more wealthy you were, you had private tutoring, your school stayed open, you had all of the ability to keep your kids educated. Randi Weingarten took it from ’em. She did.
