Are we at the point in this covid panic movie when the villain, the Freddy Krueger, is thought to be dead — and then he comes back one more time before being vanquished?

The jury is still out, but Clay & Buck hope we’re nearing an ending reminiscent of the classic “Die Hard.”

The news from Europe doesn’t look promising. Boris Johnson, the U.K. prime minister, just announced a version of covid passports will be required at pubs and clubs. This led Clay to ask, “If it is 2 AM. and you’re dancing on the tabletop to techno music in London, I would hope that you’re not in your mid-seventies or early eighties with multiple comorbidities, because it’s not a good way to be spending your time.”

And how does this mesh with England’s bragging about “Freedom Day” just hours ago where all restrictions were dropped despite highest covid numbers in months, and where the world was treated to news footage of frenzied maskless drinkers and dancers in packed clubs? It doesn’t! In France, President Macron’s figurative attempt at club bouncing should be a warning to BoJo. He’s being protested for a similar crackdown.

Meanwhile. here at home. Fauci, Buck said today, is perceived comfortingly (and erroneously) by libs as “America’s kindly old doctor” and Biden (correctly) as “America’s doddering Grandpa” so it’s not surprising they stopped short of trying to be “enforcers” — and yesterday so-far nixed the idea of U.S. vaccine passports.

Problem is, Fauci really only needs his mouth to be a faux tough guy. And that brings up one of Buck’s “biggest concerns” when it comes to restrictions, that, per Fauci’s trash talk, “We can’t wait for a surge. We have to get ahead of the surge.”

Listen here to Clay and Buck tackle BoJo’s hard-to-follow “logic” on pubs and covid passports:
