Cuomo to Businesses: Ban the Unvaxxed
2 Aug 2021
BUCK: The vaccine push is still very much underway here, and Governor Cuomo of New Yorkโฆ Clay, the worst governor for the pandemic? Is that fair or do you think Newsom? Who gets the top spot?
CLAY: I think you can say worst governor for the pandemic. I think you can make a strong argument that Governor Cuomo โ if the goal of a governor is to protect its citizenry and help them to have jobs, I think you could make a strong argument that Andrew Cuomo is the worst governor of most of our lives โ not even just the pandemic.
BUCK: So, not just the worst in America, the worst in America in living memory?
CLAY: Many of our lives. Certainly, the twenty-first century.
BUCK: Thatโs bold talk, Mr. Travis, but I will cosign. Here he is on how heโs not gonna mandate it; he wants the private sector to mandate it. Go ahead.
CUOMO: Private businesses, I am asking them and suggesting to them, โGo to vaccine-only admission.โ Go to vaccine-only admission! We do this Radio City Music Hall months ago, reopened vaccine only. Sold out all the shows. Sports arenas, they went up to about 90% vaccine only. Private businesses, bars, restaurants, go to a vaccine-only admission. I believe itโs in your best business interests.
BUCK: Thatโs kind of like, โOh, nice business you got there. Be a shame if the state authorities came, shut it down, fined you, and ruined your livelihood.โ I donโt think anybody is unable to read between the lines here for Americaโs worst governor, Clay.
CLAY: Well โ and again, this is significant because I think people are seeing it, but theyโre not really tying it all together, โcause I can see this directly connecting to Big Tech. What government is doing now is they are seeking to pressure private industry to enact rules that the government itself would not be constitutionally permitted to enact. So this is a default state action that is being demanded by the state of New York.
The state of New York, I donโt believe, has the legal authority to mandate vaccines for all residents of the state of New York. But what theyโre trying to do is make it so wildly uncomfortable for people based on being able to do their day-to-day life that people just throw up their hands and say, โOh, okay. Iโll get the vaccine.โ
And, again, itโs a back-door attempt at a mandate which would be unconstitutional if the government tried to do it itself. I think thatโs significant not only here but also in the way that Big Tech is being used. We need an aggressive investigation into whether or not it this constitutes state action.
BUCK: And itโs also a way of getting around the accountability mechanisms here. This is true in the whole budget process thatโs playing out right now, where you have the infrastructure bill has come out separately from the budget. We havenโt even seen the budget. Weโll talk more about this in just a few moments. But the whole point of having a 2,000-plus page infrastructure bill is nobody really knows whatโs in it.
People just pile stuff into it; so therefore no oneโs really responsible for the waste, the fraud, the abuse that happens. With so many of these Democrat in particular but there have been Republicans who are very bad on the pandemic lockdown stuff as well, itโs, โOh, Iโm just listening to the public health officials.โ Well, then whoโs really responsible for the bad decision-making, the public health official or the politician who says, โIโm just listening to the expertsโ?
Same thing here with the private sector and Big Tech acting in concert with them as part of the private sector, of course. Is it Governor Cuomoโs fault now when you go into a store and you have to have a vaccine? And also, is that store responding to what they think is actually good policy for their customers, or are they worried about what could happen to them under a governor like Cuomo who is so heavy-handed when he doesnโt get his way?
CLAY: Buck, also thereโs gonna be a huge market for fake vaccine cards, because itโs not as if these vaccine cards, if you look at them, are incredibly high-tech. And anybody whoโs ever been on a college campus know that 18- and 19-year-olds who want to get into a bar get fake IDs, irrespective of the fact that you are now requiring the vaccine. Who is gonna be checking vaccine cards at the entrance to the bar?
Are they gonna say, โHey, I need to see your ID and your vaccine card?โ That seems to me to be a big mess. Itโs not like youโre gonna have public health experts reviewing vaccine cards. Theyโre just gonna be getting printed. I know Kamala Harris doesnโt think people have access to Kinkoโs, but thereโs gonna be a lot of fake vaccine cards just rolling out if people really want them.
BUCK: Clay, to be fair to Kamala โ who is already considered the least popular vice president in living memory.
CLAY: Statistically, yes.
BUCK: Congratulations, VP Harris. Considered the worst by Americans in 50 years.
CLAY: And also to have done so in the first six months, when usually thereโs a glow of a new administration, which certainly thereโs that patina of excitement over the fact that if you read mainstream media it was, โThe first woman, the first minority woman to hold the vice presidential office.โ Yet she is so wildly unpopular that already theyโre talking Weekend at Bernieโs II style trying to drag Joe Biden across in 2024 again for fear what she would do to the Democratic Party if sheโs the nominee.
BUCK: But I just wanted to be fair she was clear that it was only that rural folks who canโt find a copy machine.
CLAY: Thatโs right.
BUCK: Itโs rural people.
CLAY: They canโt get IDs.
BUCK: They donโt know how to utilize all that electricity and all the big words and all the stuff, really condescending stuff from the vice president, which may go to why she is not exactly super popular with the American people overall.
CLAY: Democrats hated her when she ran for president, Buck. She couldnโt get 1% support. She collapsed.
BUCK: She was popular with media executives and hedge fund managers in New York and Los Angeles.
CLAY: Pretty much.
BUCK: Thatโs her base โ and the New York Times editorial page to some degree. But I had promised everybody that weโd talk about the vaccines but also this data that I had teased.
CLAY: Yes.
BUCK: I just wanted to get to this as well about mandatory vaccinations because youโve been led to believe โ if you pay attention to just in a general sense in the media โ that it is Republicans who are unvaccinated; it is Trump supporters who are the problem. Let me just hone in on the city that I know the best, New York, which is where Iโm from and where I currently am sitting.
Clay, there are 135,000 public school employees. This is as of July 26, Iโm give you this data, okay? There are 135,000 of them, and you have about 40% that are unvaccinated. NYPDโs 54,000 uniformed and civilian workforce, 43% are vaccinated. Department of Corrections, 42% are vaccinated. Itโs 60% vaccinated for teachers, but youโre talking about tens of thousands of public school teachers in New York City who are mandating that kids wear masks, but theyโre not willing to get vaccinated right now.
CLAY: Yeah, Buck, what it does is it speaks to how artificial the line was that these teachers were terrified they were gonna die if they actually taught, because if you truly were terrified of covid, you would have gone and gotten the vaccine immediately. I think what this reflects is a lot of teachers are youngish, in their twenties and thirties, and thatโs the group thatโs not.
We should mention, by the way, that weโve reached 70% of adults who have received at least their first vaccine. So we know those numbers. We donโt have the numbers like we talked about out of England, but thatโs pretty crazy that teachers would be statistically less likely than adults in America to have actually gotten their vaccine.
BUCK: Itโs teachers in New York City, too.
CLAY: Yes.
BUCK: Who I can tell you: If youโre a teacher in the public school system in New York City, I actually have a few friends who are secret conservatives who teach in the public school system here. Thereโs a 90% chance youโre a hard-core Democrat, Biden, Bernie voter. No question about it, okay? So thatโs why you got almost half of them โ and itโs big workforce, 135,000 of them โ who are unvaccinated. Iโm sure in the nursing homes, Clay, where I actually think that that starts to be, like, special consideration time. I think nursing home staff are at an elevated responsibility for covid protocols.
CLAY: Right.
BUCK: Something like that 40% of nursing home staff is unvaccinated in New York City!
