FAUCI: They have seen a waning of immunity not only against infection but against hospitalizations — and, to some extent, death — which is starting to now involve all age-groups. It isn’t just the elderly. So if one looks back at this, one can say, “You know, it isn’t as if a booster is a bonus, but a booster might actually be an essential part of the primary regimen that people should have.” Boosting is gonna be an absolutely essential component of our response.
BUCK: We have told you this for months. You know it. We’ve been saying it on the show. They’re going to tell you that boosters are for everyone. Everyone’s gotta get the booster. I noticed that just now the little fascist Fauci is out there saying, “Yeah, okay, the vaccine stops working.” That’s what he said. We just played you the audio. The vaccine stops working.
Now, it might work somewhat. It might have some residual benefit, fine. But it’s not what they told you it was, and it’s not what they told you it was in April of this past year. It’s not what they told you it was two or three months ago in terms of how effective, how long lasting. Notice there’s not that much of an effort right now to even keep track of breakthrough infections because they’re happening at such a rate.
Oh, New York Times? Quote me if you’re gonna criticize me, New York Times. There will be substantially lessened immunity for everybody who is reliant on the vaccine and doesn’t have natural immunity, going into this winter season, unless they get the booster shot, which is what we told them was gonna happen and what people were lied to about for months.
CLAY: We’ve been consistently three or four or five months ahead of what the national narrative has been, and sometimes that creates a disconnect because the Fauciites of the world get upset when you question their preferred narrative. ‘Cause, remember, as recently as May they were saying, “Hey, this is gonna be the Vax Summer! Everybody’s perfect. Nobody has anything to worry about at all.”
I believe it was in June and July, Buck, that we had Alex Berenson on, and he started to tell us, “Hey, pay attention to what’s going on in Israel. Pay attention to what’s going on in England. They’re ahead of us in terms of the vaccine and they are seeing a massive increase in the overall number of covid cases,” and at this point in time, I think the only thing you can really hope is that the overall infections are probably going to set near an all-time record in many states.
I do believe that’s forecastable now based on the data that we have. I think best-case scenario, Buck, you can hope that they aren’t as negative in terms of the overall death rate because maybe the vaccines have some lasting power when it comes to the severity of the illness. But in terms of being able to get and spread the virus, everybody who is vaccinated is still going to be able to get and spread the virus, and the number of people that are testing positive in any given day is growing rapidly in the Midwest and the Northeast.
BUCK: Instead of confronting that, once again, everybody… Whether it was on masks, whether it was on fomite or surface transmission, whether it was on six feet of social distancing, whether it was two masks. No, N95 masks! No, no masks! Maybe masks. All these things. Open schools/don’t open schools. All these things they’ve been wrong on, Clay. Instead of finally having a moment of honesty…
Every time Fauci says, “This is what the data says, the science is clear,” everyone should say, “This time? What about all the last times? What about all the previous times you’ve told us things that were wrong?” Instead, their propaganda machinery goes into effect, and they make jokes like this on SNL pretending to be Sesame Street.
“ROGAN”: I used to host Fear Factor, and now doctors fear me.
“BIG BIRD”: Can you help me, Joe?
“ROGAN”: Oh, sure thing, Big Bird. You see, I took Carlos Mencia down. I can take covid. Here’s some zinc and ayahuasca and some horse medicine.
“BIG BIRD”: Well, why would a bird take horse medicine?
“ROGAN”: I’m a human, and I took horse medicine.
BUCK: Can we just be very clear? That’s not funny because that was a lie the media spread about him — about Joe Rogan — to make him seem less reputable, about just a guy who explores covid, and they still continue with this they still make the joke as a… Why is that funny? They lied about him.
CLAY: Not only they lie about him, it was an uncomfortable attempt to ridicule, and CNN certainly is a propaganda network. It’s disappointing and absurd and ridiculous how many comedians have allowed themselves to become such political animals that they are now aiding and abetting the spread of disinformation in an effort to try to undermine the legitimacy, as you said, of popular hosts who are willing to explore challenging methods to combat covid. By the way, Joe Rogan’s completely fine; Aaron Rodgers, quarterback Green Bay, came back led his team to a victory. I bet when they come out with jersey sales, Buck, I bet there’s gonna be a big surge.
BUCK: I’m gonna go get an Aaron Rodgers jersey. I keep saying I’m gonna do it. Where do I go, NFL.com? I’ll find an Aaron Rodgers jersey to wear wherever I do the show. No, because we’ve gotta take a stand here against what is a consistent effort to rewrite the history of the Fauciites who are constantly wrong, constantly overpromised and underdeliver and always want the power to make you do things — even when it turns out what they’re making you do isn’t what they said it would be in terms of the effectiveness, in terms of all the different judgments that go into it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
CLAY: The reason why our audience is growing so substantially, Buck, is we’ve got, let’s say, the 40% of people who agree with us on most everything. I think what you’re seeing is the polling data that’s coming out and everything else is we’re rapidly trending towards a 60-40 breakdown, right? We’ve been talking about, “How do you create a substantial majority?”
Forty percent of Democrats are in the loony bin. They’re not gonna actually make rational decisions. But I think we’ve got a solid 20% now that listen to this show — 60% conservative, right-wing, center, even maybe a little bit left of center — because there’s such a demand for honesty and truth that isn’t otherwise being filled and there are so few people who will listen this cut from Fauci and say, “Man, this is the emperor wearing no clothes. The world’s upside down. What is Fauci even talking about?”
Let’s play cut… I believe it’s 7.
FAUCI: Well, one of the things that to me was most difficult to accept is that we put together a good plan for how we were going to try and dampen down the spread of infection early on, thinking that that was accepted by everybody. And then the next day, the president saying, “Free Michigan, free Virginia.” Well, I didn’t quite understand what the purpose of that was, except to put this misplaced perception about people’s individual right to make a decision that supersedes the societal safety. That, to me, is one of the things that I think went awry in all of this.
CLAY: Well, not only that, even if we had executed on Dr. Fauci’s plan we’d still be in the exact same place, because lockdowns as done in America did not work because masks didn’t work, social distancing didn’t work. Criticizing the president for recognizing that and wanting to acknowledge that people deserve the rights to leave their homes and live their lives is just another example of him being a petty, tin-pot dictator.
