BUCK: Rob O’Neill, who is a friend, great guy, Navy SEAL, guy who shot bin Laden best known as. Remember when they…? This is from Business Insider back in August of 2020. “The Navy SEAL Who Killed Osama bin Laden Has Just Been Banned from Delta for Refusing to Wear a Mask,” and tweeting about it. So that also was a thing that could happen. So if you speak out publicly against the mask policy on these planes, they might decide to punish you even further for your insolence.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: But this has been so stupid — and honestly, there should be such a sense of growing shame for the Siberian prison guards of the sky who are enforcing this stuff. I’m not talking about the people who are cool about it and like, “Hey, they’re gonna yell at you unless… You know, can you just do me a favor?” Like, of course, right? Like, I don’t want anyone getting fired for this, either. But that’s not what I had! I had people that were like, “You mask up and you mask until I tell you you can’t mask up!” I had some psychopaths in the sky.

CLAY: When they do all the retrospectives on the covid era, there are a lot of people who are gonna have kids and grandkids that are either so young that they won’t remember it or they haven’t even been born yet. They’re going to see this, and they’re gonna say, “Wait a minute, mom and dad. Wait a minute, grandma and grandpa. You’re telling me that they told you that you had to wear a mask on the airplane, but you took it off when you ate or drank, and they claimed that that made you safe on the airplane?”
