BUCK: Covid is kind of over. I don’t know. Fauci says we’re out of the pandemic phase but there’s still covid, right? There’s still covid out there. There will always be covid out there. Different variants. They are still pushing what you could dub “hysteria” very easily I think. They were saying that children hit… I saw this on NBC News: “Children Hit Especially Hard by Omicron,” just ’cause there were a lot of cases among kids. Okay, how sick do kids get — it’s a sniffle for 99 point — I think literally over 99% of children. I think it’s 99.999% of kids.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: It’s a sniffle. But they’re writing about it like, “Oh, my gosh. Kids were hit so hard by Omicron!” They are completely insane. But we need accountability, friends. You see, the Democrats don’t want to do accountability on all this ’cause they were pretty much wrong about everything and they cost people a lot too. This wasn’t wrong but there was no downside.

The loss of learning that occurred because of the completely unnecessary school shuts down that Democrats dragged out and dragged out, bowed to the teachers unions. It was appalling what they did. If you are a parent anywhere in the country and your kids were out of school in the 2021 school year, blame the Democrat Party — and vote.

Do something about this, do something about the people that disrupted and honestly just made your life more difficult with no real scientific backing for it. Clay and I have also been pushing for the restoration of people to their jobs who were fired because they refused to get a vaccine that, remember, they keep changing their justifications.

They shift what they say about these things to suit their political needs in the moment. The initial storyline that they gave us was that “You must get the shot. It’s not up to you, because if you don’t you are risking other people’s health.” That’s just not true. The shot was highly ineffective at stopping spread. In fact, Dr. Birx — and we’ll get to her in a second ’cause I saw her on Fox today.

I was a little upset, Clay, a little bit. Not that she was on Fox. That’s fine. But with what she said, it’s like, “Whoa-ho-ho. Hold on a second. Hold on a second,” because she’s still pushing for masks on planes and the whole thing. It was absolutely insane. They said that the shot would stop the spread. It didn’t. They fired people who didn’t get the shot. And here’s, for example, New York City Mayor Eric Adams who is a huge disappointment already to anybody who was hoping for a good mayor already. Play 15.

BUCK: He’s… I don’t know if he’s a moron on the issue of covid entirely or if this is just the politics demand this of him, but it’s vindictive. This is stupid. It’s indefensible.

CLAY: They should immediately rehire anyone who turned down the covid shot. I’m glad, Buck, we’re one of the few places — I can’t believe this hasn’t gotten more attention. The CDC came out — and I don’t know we don’t the trust the CDC to be very good at their job, but they managed to do, finally, one of these recent studies of kids to find out what percentage of them had covid antibodies.

And I saw you tweeting about this, Buck, and I just want to continue to bring it home ’cause these facts matter: 75% of kids under the age of 18, right, minors, have covid antibodies right now. Yet right now, Buck, they are trying to get 5- to 11-year-olds to get a covid booster shot! I want to repeat that. My kids… Like many parents, my kids matter more to me than anything in the whole wide world.

My kids have not gotten the covid shot. I haven’t gotten them covid antibody tested but given the fact that my wife and I have both had covid, and I’ve had it twice, I would be stunned if they aren’t among the 75% of kids with covid antibiotics right now. But, Buck, who are these parents, when you hear that data? By the way, almost all of them were a hundred percent fine.

I bet the vast majority of these kids never even knew they had covid at all. Okay? Who are these parents who are getting a booster shot for their 5-year-old when the 5-year-old has probably already had covid and is 100% fine? How much are we going to overmedicate these young kids who have zero risk? Your kindergartener is not, fortunately, in danger from covid.

If you have a kid of any age, 75% of them at least, according to the most recent covid data, have antibodies. They had it! Three out of every four kids had it and has recovered from it, meaning they have natural immunity, which has been proven to be oftentimes far more valuable than the covid shot. Is this crazy to you, Buck? You don’t have kids, but if you had a 5-year-old, who are these parents that are getting 5-year-olds booster shots?

BUCK: They just can’t think for themselves, honestly, at this point, or they’re just not aware. They’re ignorant of the data, the risk factors and the reality here of what’s going on. It’s so apparent, right? You just had Kamala Harris, who’s fine. She is gonna have a light sniffle for a couple of days, just like everybody else in her age-group and, you know, in her basic risk factors is basically fine, okay? There’s no guarantees in life, but she got four shots — four — and she’s not done! That’s the whole point. You’re not done.

CLAY: And she’s had it now multiple times I think too right?

BUCK: Yeah. Yeah. Remember at the time of this accident, it was like guys basically we’re in a flu paradigm. It’s something it is more dangerous to old people than the flu true but we should handle it the way we imagining the flu which is go life your life with risk and the rest of it is insane and that’s why Dr. Birx has said recently…

She’s trying to sell a book. Remember, she was kind of Fauci’s number two for a while there, and it was the Trump task force. Folks, we gotta be honest about all these things. It was hard. I give a pass in the first 60 days, maybe in the first 90 days for Trump leaning on the Public Health Service. He was better over the summer and into the fall, and clearly was better than Biden turned out to be on these issues.

But I think he should have fired Fauci. I’m just saying gonna say, I think we could talk about reality here and what really happened. But Birx was right there with him. She resigned, you remember, because she got caught in a moment of social distancing from family member hypocrisy and then got all huffy about it like, “Well, I had a house to sell!

“I had to be with my family members for the sale.” Right. Everybody else you’re being told, “Sorry. You got a family member who’s dying in the hospital? Maybe we’ll get you on a Zoom call. Too bad for you.” But Dr. Birx had a house to sell. Anyway, she also said that she wished that we had gone more into an Italy-style lockdown. She just said this.

CLAY: I know.

BUCK: More into an Italy-style lockdown at the beginning of this, as if we didn’t lock down hard enough is something that anyone who is not a sociopath would say. That’s what she’s a saying. Here she is, too, trying to trash a little bit, I think, the Trump White House situation.

BUCK: Can I just say, I don’t care about how hard you were working in the White House at the beginning of the pandemic, okay? We’ve got people that have served 10 tours in war zones for this government and taken real risks. “Oh, so hard in the West Wing and in the White House! I was working such long hours.” I’m sorry, man. All these health bureaucrats — I said this on Twitter, I think it’s true — it’s like in the movie Armageddon if NASA was put in charge of everyone’s life and made them do all these things and then the asteroid actually hit the world anyway, and it’s like, what did we do this for?

CLAY: That’s exactly right. And, by the way, you want to talk about hard and how difficult people have had it, there are still millions of people who don’t have the jobs. We still… For all the Biden bragging, which is what he’s trying to do now — I saw a tweet from him this morning, he’s talking about how many great jobs he’s created since he became president — we’re still almost two million people unemployed below where we were when everything shut down for “15 days to stop the spread” over two years ago now. We still haven’t gotten those same jobs back.

BUCK: To be fair, Clay, Biden knows how to create jobs. He just knows how to create them for his son at the behest of Chinese oligarchs and corrupt Russian energy companies.

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: But, hey, the Hunter jobs program worked really well. Apparently $5 million of Joe Biden income that might need an explanation too. Some folks might have seen that headline.
