C&B Predict Mask Mandate Comeback

Clay and Buck

26 Jul 2021

BUCK: Hereโ€™s an example of it from the mayor of the largest city in America, Bill de Blasio, talking about how employees, youโ€™re gonna have to mask up and get covid testing and all kinds of stuff if you donโ€™t get the shot.

DE BLASIO: If you are unvaccinated and you are a city employee, beginning on Monday, you must either wear a mask indoors at your work site at all times or โ€” if you would prefer not to โ€” you have to immediately go get vaccinated. This is very, very clear. We will have to, unfortunately, be very tough. If a city government employee does not wear a mask indoors and they are unvaccinated, there unfortunately will have to be consequences because we have to take [it] seriously. If someoneโ€™s unvaccinated, unfortunately, they pose a threat to themselves, but they also have the greater chance of spreading the disease.

BUCK: I think youโ€™re gonna see this. St. Louis brought back the mandate. Other places have a mask mandate for everyone. But I think youโ€™re gonna see more city governments with this in place now.

CLAY: I feel like โ€” and this is going to be the case, because Iโ€™m not just trying to brag on us, but I think we have the smartest show in radio, period. We are going to be a couple of weeks to a month ahead, oftentimes, of where stories are and weโ€™re gonna be looking around the corner telling you where stories are headed.

And if you look at the data coming out of the Israel and if you look at the data coming out of England โ€” two countries with a more substantial rate of vaccination โ€” what you are seeing is that what you are being sold right nowโ€ฆ And I think this is a big difference between what you are selling and what is going to be delivered in terms of the expectation of the American public.

I believe the average American out there listening to us right now โ€” certainly the average blue check, left-wing brigade member. They believe that with the vaccine, covid effectively becomes smallpox or it becomes polio. Thatโ€™s what the Faucis of the world are selling us on, that we can effectively eradicate covid. As you say, Buck, we can go to Covid Zero.

Clay and Buck

Thatโ€™s not what the data shows us. So right now, theyโ€™re saying, โ€œThe reason we arenโ€™t at Covid Zero is because of those idiot Trump voters who wonโ€™t get vaccinated, and we are going to put in place mandates to make their lives miserable.โ€ What we are going to see โ€” and sports is an important window, but, as I said, Israel and England are as well.

There are going to be a ton of breakthrough infections here because, according to Israel, the Pfizer vaccine is only 39% effective against the Delta variant. Now, hopefully it limits the overall severity of infection. But this idea that youโ€™re able to tell whether somebody is getting covid and theyโ€™re vaccinated or unvaccinated, I think over the next month, that distinction will vanish, and it will be almost impossible to tell why or how people are getting covid.

BUCK: But, in the meantime, get ready for a whole lot of browbeating, of haranguing, harassing, nagging from all across the Democrat-industrial complex in the media, the Democrat Party. Youโ€™re gonna hear a lot of people talking about how, โ€œYou have a choice, but your choice is to be constantly harassed and agitated โ€” and suffer annoying, stupid restrictions โ€” or get the shot.โ€

Even if that means getting the shot again in six months, they donโ€™t care, get it or else, hereโ€™s an example โ€” and I want to juxtapose this with a different position they were taken taking before about Joe Scarborough whoโ€ฆ This guy, heโ€™s doing some performance theater where he goes on TV as an alleged Republican or former Republican or whatever he is saying whatever the Democrat loon MSNBC audience wants to here. Here he is on how you donโ€™t want the shot find a new job.

SCARBOROUGH: Itโ€™s time for Joe Biden, itโ€™s time for Democrats, itโ€™s time for serious Republicans to start ignoring the ground noise and start focusing on the signal. And the signal this: If youโ€™re a schoolteacher, if youโ€™re a nurse, if youโ€™re a cop, you need to get vaccinated. And if you donโ€™t, you need to look for another job.

BUCK: Can I just say that, first of all, the authoritarian impulse from Democrats on display during this entire pandemic situation is something that I hope every American remembers for a very long time. I mean, this is a massive Milgram-style experiment where weโ€™ve seen if Dr. Fauci told you electrocuting your neighbor would save people from covid, about half the country would do it, maybe more, and would keep doing it.

โ€œWait. Hold on. How does electrocuting my neighbor actually stop covid? Hold on. The data doesnโ€™t support this.โ€ (impression) Fauci says do it, so you gotta do it โ€™cause of the droplets. Right? So we know that thatโ€™s been a part of this all along. But I also remember when the teachers unions didnโ€™t want to have their employees going back into school in the 2020-2021 school year, Clay, and the data supported teachers going back in.

Cops, first responders, they all had to go do their jobs. But teachers, because theyโ€™re important to Democrats, were in a separate category. โ€œOh, we canโ€™t put them at risk from the covid!โ€ So they got to do all this work-from-home stuff. Where was Joe Scarborough with, โ€œIf youโ€™re a teacher, go to work or youโ€™re fired?โ€ Itโ€™s all politics.

CLAY: Itโ€™s so well said. Not only did teachers โ€” who are comparatively well paid and get off substantial amounts of time โ€” not have to go to work. But all the people that allowed our countries to continue to function: Truck drivers, grocery store workers, people at gas stations, all these people who make way less money oftentimes. Certainly grocery store and gas station employees do, fast food workers.

People preparing food remotely even if their restaurants werenโ€™t open. All of these people make far, far less than teachers. And, frankly, if you want to consider the long-range impact, have way less impact on kids, in terms of their ability to learn and their ability to hopefully grow and progress to the point where they can one day be fully functional members of society, and nobodyโ€ฆ

I know you were screaming it from the rooftops and I certainly was screaming it from the rooftops on my show. But comparatively almost no one said, โ€œHey, every teacher should have to be back at work right now. We can do this safely. They arenโ€™t under any greater risk than a grocery-store worker would be.โ€

Almost no one was willing to look at the data or the science then, and now youโ€™re demanding that people have to get shots in order to go back to work? I mean, itโ€™s all insanely hypocritical and, frankly, I can understand why it leads to overwhelming distrust of the media and people in positions of power โ€™cause they lied so much for so long to so many.

BUCK: And donโ€™t let the Democrats have their cake and eat it, too, on this one. If itโ€™s so obvious that de Blasio in New York and Garcetti in LA and all these other places โ€” that either are or are about to institute vaccine mandates for employees and want private sector businesses to do it, too โ€” then they should be pushing, why doesnโ€™t the White House just say this? Why let them have it both ways, which is what they want to do?

The Biden White House says, โ€œOh, no, we donโ€™t want mandates.โ€ But then all their Democrat underlings are pushing for the mandates. Well, if itโ€™s so important, whereโ€™s the pressure from the Democrats at the state and local level to say, โ€œHey, Biden should just come out and say we need a federal vaccine mandate.โ€ Again, be honest.

Have the courage of your conviction, libs. Stop playing games. But they wonโ€™t do it because they know thereโ€™d be a political backlash. So they donโ€™t want to have to deal with the consequences of the mandate. They want a stealth mandate at the state and local and private sector-instituted level with the White House doing this wink and a nod thing โ€” and you can tell I find this all very, very agitating.
