CLAY: If you have been listening to the show for a while, you might have noticed that suddenly the Democratic governors in Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, New York — even Illinois, Oregon — as they are rolling back all of their different restrictions are starting to sound just like a little bit like Clay and Buck, like Ron DeSantis, like voices for sanity in an insane world.

Well, even the media and the White House are starting to notice this, and they said, “Jen Psaki, you ripped Ron DeSantis to the high leavens for making many of the same choices that the Democratic governors are now making, some of them a year later. Why are you not also ripping those choices made by those Democratic governors?” How did Jen Psaki, a/k/a Little Red Lying Hood answer that question? Not very well. Listen.

BUCK: Clay, this is what they should have been doing much sooner. This is why when people say, “Well, hold on a second. Is it really safe?” I don’t know. Look at the state of Florida. They have not had these restrictions in place in schools in particular at all this school year — at all — And the numbers are fine. It’s right in line with everything else.

One of the problems here I think is that no one’s claiming that the lack of restrictions is necessarily going to defeat covid. It just deals with the reality of the restrictions don’t actually restrict covid, right? So you’re gonna have cases, you’re gonna have things that are happening to people. But it’s pretty stunning to see how obvious the politics are here, how obvious the, “It is just our team is doing it now that it’s okay,” which you even see among the journos, by the way.

Now you’ll see people saying, “Oh, look at this!” You’ll see people who are clear Democrat Blue Checks, “Look at this really insightful piece from somebody raising questions — raising tough questions about whether masking in school comes with some real drawbacks.”

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: And you and I are sitting here, you know, screaming to high heaven like, yeah, “Welcome to the party, pal,” John McClane style.

CLAY: Yeah, that’s a great line from Die Hard. I gotta tell you these are the same blue checks who were ripping me to the high heavens when he went and argued against masks for my kids back in August at a school board meeting. That was exactly what they were ripping me for, and the data has been clear and readily transparent to anybody that was actually willing to look at it.

And the overall overarching results here, I think, Buck, who is ever going to trust the CDC ever again when it comes to any of the things that they are being asked about? And so this is really kind of intriguing — and credit, by the way, to the media which actually is finally starting to ask questions like this. And again, Jen Psaki was asked, “Hey, does the CDC run the risk of becoming irrelevant if every Democratic governor — as well as certainly most Republican governors — are effectively acknowledging that there is nothing to support in the CDC data?” Listen to this on cut 7.

REPORTER: “Does the CDC run the risk of becoming irrelevant in the minds of many Americans given that their states are moving along ahead without them?”

BUCK: It’s such a snarky, like mean high school girl answer to this. Yes, the CDC is largely irrelevant to people that pay attention that have any judgment whatsoever because the CDC is not only wrong over and over again, go back and listen to Rochelle Walensky with her, “It protects so well against infection,” what, six months ago? Yeah, about that protection from infection that the vaccine was supposed to give us…

But beyond that, Clay, they’re obviously gauging these important decisions that this affects the economy, it affects our day-to-day lives based upon what the politics of the Biden regime and the Democrat Party are. We all see it. We saw about the fact that they were changing guidance for school reopening a long time ago, for the first time around, based on what the teachers unions wanted.

CDC, Fauci, they’re meeting with the teachers unions! Why should the teachers unions have any say in this whatsoever? The rest of us didn’t get a say in whether we could go about our lives. The teachers unions get to determine that they get a taxpayer-funded vacation for their adults at the expense of children? I don’t think so, folks. I’m not giving this up.

I keep telling people” I am an anti-mask zealot, I’m holding the teachers unions accountable for child abuse. I am not letting any of this stuff go because we’re ready to go into the summer and it’s gonna be a big party and everybody’s gonna be cracking their White Claws or whatever and they’re gonna forget about what they did to us.

CLAY: (laughing) What percentage…?

BUCK: This is not a White Claw show.

CLAY: I was gonna say.

BUCK: “We’re drinking beer, Buck.”

CLAY: I know what they’re talking about, but I think they’re hearing like White Claws, what is that?

BUCK: “Is that just Buck wears indoor scarf while he’s drinking his White Claws?”

CLAY: They are gonna… There’s no law with The Claw, is what the moms say out there. I will say — by the way, it’s an alcoholic beverage if you’re not aware of what that is — that was supposed to be happening this past summer, right, you’re supposed to have a vax summer is supposed to be amazing. Even in your town, Buck, people just turned all the different early days like May and June and July all of the different city parks just turned into basically open raves.

People were just throwing crazy parties because the idea was, “Oh, everybody got vaccinated! There’s nothing to be afraid of now! Let’s celebrate the end of covid,” and then all the sudden the data came out and they’re like, “Well, actually,” and then we had Delta, and then we had Omicron. You’re right that there will be an attempt to try to pretend that covid is over this summer. I don’t think there’s any doubt.

And we know, based on the overarching data that it’s likely to be lower cases then, but I just think the conjunction of covid and inflation is going to make it hard for Biden to dig himself out of this hole. Plus we know it’s incompetent and not politically savvy — and, frankly, I don’t think he has very good advisers helping him, either.

BUCK: And I’m happy to see that the American people, a solid majority of them, the old “let’s get involved in some foreign conflict and maybe stoke some military intervention somewhere else,” you know, like Hillary with Libya, that’s not happening it seems right now with Ukraine. I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, but I think the American people are like, “That’s not gonna fly, either.”
