Welcome in Tuesday edition, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. I appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the post Memorial Day weekend festivities. We want to again, as I said on Friday, reiterate to everyone out there whose family friends have made the ultimate sacrifice that the reason we all have the freedoms we do every single day is because of the sacrifices so many have made throughout the course of nearly 250 years of American history. We will talk some about that. I had a spectacular weekend trip to the Indy 500. I had never been before. Thanks to the Good Ranchers crew for taking me there. Ben and his wife Corlee, we had a phenomenal time running all around with them. I think there are videos up at clay and buck.com you can see the incredible time that we all had. I met a lot of you in the Indianapolis area. There's 350,000 people there, so quite a bit of you had to be Clay and Buck listeners outkick readers, Fox News viewers. Not a surprise that, that there would be a lot of you that we would run into during the course of that weekend. It was awesome. Hospitality was fabulous in Indianapolis and so I appreciate everybody who, who said hi and the, and the good ranchers crew. Good ranchers.com code clay. Uh, those guys are doing amazing work. You get $40 off if you go there. But they have a fabulous business and they're awesome people. So I think you guys will be hearing more and more from them coming forward. But we had just a spectacular time. Want to tell you Buck is out, by the way, has the flu and he's hoping to be back tomorrow. So he will be back tomorrow. I will be out. I'm going to go to this new Universal Studios park with my kids. Uh, we're going to be on the road for a few days. School is finally out, so I'm gonna be on the road with my kids, taking them to that amusement park, which my wife's probably not happy that I just announced. But that is where we will be for the next several days. So they have opened a brand new Universal Studios park and my kids were excited for the roller coaster. So that is where dad and mom are gonna be here, but Buck should be back tomorrow. Says he should be back healthy, but that is where he is today. So I want to dive into. There's so many different stories that are out there. Riley Gaines, by the way, is going to join us midway through today's program and she is going to do that because Trump has really taken a two by four to the state of California over men being allowed to participate in women's sports. And we will talk about, talk about that with her in the next hour as that has turned into a major issue. And Gavin Newsom, who still has an open invite to come on this program but has somehow not found the time, said it was very unfair, completely unfair, I think was his phrase, to allow men to compete in women's sports while it's happening and at the state championship level of California. And the president has called it out. We've got a lot to talk about during the course of the program, but I want to dive into a couple of stories that I thought happening over the weekend and earlier today were representative of the lies that so many of us have had to deal with over the last four or five years. And I want to start with good news. It's good news if you didn't get the shot. Those of you who had to get the COVID shot are still furious. Those of you whose kids had to get the COVID shot to go to college or wherever it was the Health and Human Services secretary, Robert Kennedy, I believe, CDC Director Marty Makary, who we need to get on the program. We had him on a lot during the COVID era on this program. They announced this morning that they are removing the COVID shot from the recommended vaccine. Quotation marks for those of you watching on video the recommended vaccine shot lineup. And we have that audio. This just happened in the last hour or so. Listen to that. I couldn't be more pleased to announce that as as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule. Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another Covid shot despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children. That ends today. It's common sense and it's good science. There's no evidence healthy kids need it today and most countries have stopped recommending it for children. We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again. Okay. That's an extraordinary part of our national story now that this shot, which they told you would prevent Covid from spreading, which they told you that you had to get or you were going to be fired from your job. Thank the Lord the Supreme Court stood up against it. Joe Biden, remember, maybe we can grab this audio because I know a lot of it gets memory hold said that his Patience was running short. For those of you out there that had not gotten the COVID shot like me, that, that we were going to experience a winter of death. I remember seeing that comment while I was chilling on a beach in Florida and thinking, yeah, the winter of death's not that bad down here in Florida right now. I think I sent out a tweet about it and you had to joke about it because it was so infuriating that anybody was getting forced to get this Covid shot. Buck was forced to get the COVID shot to go to his brother's wedding in New York. You couldn't go to McDonald's. Some parts of places like New York and LA. I never got the shot. I feel fortunate that I did not. I feel fortunate that my young kids did not because it was never mandated for them. And. But I know a lot of you felt that you were obligated to get it. And it is just completely indefensible that this entire era has been allowed to happen. And that many of the people that wag their finger and lectured you about the COVID shot are now just pretending they never said any of the things that they did. And I want to hit you because I do think it's important with the data here. And I would say that many of you are listening to me today and listen to us on this program on a regular basis because you are still angry about what they said to you during COVID and. And what they tried to do to you. Remember this poll? This was from the Rasmussen and it broke down percentages of people. 20%. Sorry. Nearly 60% of Democrats in January of 2022. This is January of 2022. Believed that the unvaccinated people like me and many of you listening right now and uncovid shot it because not really a vaccine. 60% of Democrats believe that you should have been fined if you refused to get the COVID shot. This is crazy. Nearly 60% of Democrats believed that those of us who didn't get the COVID shot should be locked at home. This is nearly over 40% of Democrats believed that those who didn't get the COVID shot should be sent to quarantine camps. Should your children be taken from you if you are not getting them? The COVID shot. 30% of Democrats said yes. And for people like me and buck over about 50% of Democrats said that people who criticize the COVID shot should be fined and imprisoned. I shared that Audi that clip from that poll yesterday because it's as if people want to Pretend all of this never happened. And I see it in conjunction with Jake Tapper went on with Piers Morgan. And Piers Morgan asked him about the Biden cognitive and physical decline cover up. And Tapper now, who had a show on CNN for the entire Biden administration, he now says, you know, in many ways, the COVID up of Biden's health, physical and mental, was worse than Watergate. Listen to this. It is a scandal. Yes, it is. It is, it is. It is without question. And maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways. Right? Because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties when he wasn't drinking. We quote Archibald Cox, who was a Watergate investigator, talking about how powerful the presidency is and how presidents get surrounded by people who have a vested interest in keeping that president propped up. Okay, worse than Watergate. And by the way, I think it was worse than Watergate the decision for the media to not cover Biden's mental and physical decline. And now the COVID shot being pulled for kids. Let me ask you a question. How can anyone trust anyone in legacy media at this point? If they told you, as cnn, msnbc, abc, NBC, cbs, FOX did not by and large, but the Washington Post and the New York Times, all of those major legacy media outlets that I just ran through, if they all told you that your kids needed to get the COVID shot or they were in danger of death, and if they all told you that Biden was the best mental and physical version of himself and that anybody criticizing him was spreading disinformation and misinformation, how can anyone trust these people again? How can you? If you worked at all those places and you got the two biggest stories maybe of your career, Covid, and I'm not just talking, by the way, about the shot, but now that the shot's being pulled for kids, I do think it's important to point out that they tried to force kids to get this shot in order to be able to go to school in many parts of the country. Now that they're pulling this shot, and now that everybody suddenly says, hey, you know what? Yeah, Biden, mentally and physically, he wasn't up for the job. How can anyone? Those are the two, I would argue Those are the two biggest stories in the last certainly 20 years. If you go back to 9, 11, what has mattered more than those two things? Covid and Biden's mental and physical decline, they got all of that wrong. How do they stop jobs? How do they still have any audience at all? How in the world do these people still have the ability to make a living. We get things wrong as part of being human. All of us are imperfect. But if you listen to this program, many of you did what I did and didn't get your kids the COVID shot. I didn't get it myself. Many of you knew early on that Biden didn't have the mental and physical capacity to be president. Both of those things we've now been proven right on on this program. In a honest, transparent, fully cognizant media universe, this show would do as it has continue to grow and the legacy media by and large would collapse. And you know what's happened that over time, all that matters in media is trust. Do you trust people to be honest with you and analyze complex situations and give you to the best of their ability? Good advice. To discuss complex issues in an intelligent fashion. That is the goal to me. Of anyone that sits behind this mic, of anyone that talks to a large audience every single day. We passed that test here. Now, make no mistake, what they are attempting to do is memory hold the entire Covid era and pretend that they never could have known better. Because the experts got it wrong, not them. And then the thing that they're actually experts in, which is theoretically politics and analyzing presidents, they're claiming that they just couldn't see past the incredible cover up that the Biden administration has put in place. I would submit to you that you should not let them off the hook. You should remember this failure for the rest of their career. And I would also submit to you, you know who the biggest advertisers are on CNN and msnbc, by and large, drug companies. Do you think it was coincidental that they whiffed on the value of the COVID shot when all of these drug companies were spending hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars to advertise on their programs? I don't think so. And this is one where I think RFK Jr. Who's a lifelong Democrat, is actually right. Why in the world are they accepting all of this money for prescription drug advertisements on programs where they regularly have to cover prescription drugs and whether or not they're necessary? I would submit to you it's not a coincidence that the prescription drug companies got beneficial coverage while spending hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars. And then we all know that it wasn't that they got fooled. It was that they aren't actual journalists. They are propaganda stooges for Democrats and they weren't willing to tell their audience the truth about Joe Biden until it became clear Biden was never going to be in power again. We'll talk about all this, but I think the conjunction of these two stories coming together is actually a moment of reckoning for the legacy media, which is leading to many of them being destroyed. And I just, I think this is such a huge story that I think it needs to be hammered home and we'll have some fun doing that today, among many other things. But I want to tell you, also, supporting the people of Israel, more than just a belief, it's something we do on this program. It's something that I traveled to Israel to see for myself in December what exactly the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the ifcj, was doing. They're on the ground in Israel every day, blessing lives in real, tangible ways, feeding elderly Holocaust survivors who have nobody else. They're building bomb shelters to protect schoolchildren from rocket attacks. I've seen it all firsthand. They are helping to protect innocent people from the dangers that living in the Holy Land creates. When you give a gift of $45 to the IFCJ, you can help provide food, shelter, and more for those in desperate need. You're putting faith into action right where it's needed the most. Call 888-488-IFCJ. You can also visit ifcj.org to bless Israel today. Again, that's ifcj.org 888-488-IFCj. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States. Recipients have done the improbable, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves. This medal is for the men who went down that day. It's for the families of those who didn't make it. I'm J.R. martinez. I'm a U.S. army veteran myself, and I'm honored to tell you the stories of these heroes on the new season of Medal of Stories of Courage from Pushkin Industries and I Heart podcast podcast from Robert Blake, the first black sailor to be awarded the medal, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice. These are stories about people who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor going above and beyond the call of duty. You'll hear about what they did, what it meant, and what their stories tell us about the nature of courage and sacrifice. Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Why should you listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand? We're not boring. A lot of news is boring and tedious and depressing and makes you angry? You don't want to live your life like that. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Armstrong and Getty. We try to bring you the truth and help you figure out this crazy modern world. How about something about a comedic tone? We have a winner. Yes. Listen to Armstrong. You get it on Demand on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. No one was let go. It became known as the Iran Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions. In just a second, I am going to ask. I'm Leon Nayfak, co creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now that they have pulled the COVID shot off the recommended list for kids and pregnant women, I don't think we should forget pregnant women either. I know Allison Williams, who worked at ESPN at the time when Disney required all of their employees to get the COVID shot. She left her reporting job in sports and said, I'm trying to get pregnant. I have a doctor's exemption. I don't want to worry about getting this Covid shot. I'm going to be fine. And Disney wouldn't let her continue to work for them unless she got the COVID shot. She refused, left. Thankfully, Fox has now hired her. But there are real consequences for the lies that we were all told. And I want to play for you so they can't. Memory hold this. This is Joe Biden, September 9, 2021, threatening those of us who had not gotten the COVID shot. My message to unvaccinated Americans is this. What more is there to wait for? What more do you need to see? We've made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. The vaccine is FDA approval. Over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot. We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. Okay, that was In September of 2021, after we knew the COVID shot didn't stop anyone from getting or Spreading Covid. That data was quite clear. Here's cut 26. Biden still being dramatic about the COVID shot that now is not recommended for kids or pregnant women. Please do the right thing, but just don't take it from me. Me. Listen to the voices of unvaccinated Americans who are lying in hospital beds taking their final breath, saying, if only I'd gotten vaccinated. If only. It's a tragedy. Please don't let it become yours. I mean, it is inexcusable what they tried to do. PureTalk's team is gifting a thousand of our military veterans a brand new American flag this month. A nice tribute. Wouldn't be surprised if that new number grew way past a thousand. Because PureTalk believes every service member who's faithfully served the country deserves to proudly fly an American flag, one made in America. That's why PureTalk's on a mission to give an allegiance flag the highest quality American flag made. You can participate. Just switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk this month.

Can we play Jake Tapper saying Biden's health situation was worse than Watergate? Again, this is what he said with Piers Morgan. We can cut it off right after he says worse than Watergate. But I actually think it's super emblematic of why we have arrived in the era that we have. Can we play that one more time, guys? This is what it sounds. It is a scandal. Yes, it is. Without question. And maybe even worse than Watergate. Maybe even worse than Watergate. I want you to think about this for a minute. The Washington Post last week published an editorial saying, boy, somebody should have told all of the American voters that Joe Biden wasn't mentally or physically fit to be president. The Washington Post is the paper that broke all the Watergate stories. Woodward and Bernstein, for those of you back in the day. The Washington Post when Trump was elected, emblazoned at the top of their masthead, democracy dies in darkness. You were the darkness. Washington Post. You died in the darkness. Your job Your only reason for existence, Washington Post is to tell us if the president has pudding for brains, if the president is unable to be president, does not have the mental or physical capability to be president. The only reason the Washington Post exists is to speak truth to power and let everyone know the truth. They did that, in their opinion, with Watergate. Now Jake Tapper is coming out and saying, well, in many ways this was worse than Watergate. Of course it was. And some of you out there are saying, well, Democrats should be blamed. Yes, of course they should. But also, it doesn't surprise me that Democrats didn't come out and say, hey, it turns out Joe Biden is basically a dementia patient and we gotta get him outta here. It doesn't surprise me that the party in power covered up for the incompetence of the party in power, because everybody in power owes their power to the president. It this is not a rare story. For those of you who study history, the king and sometimes the queen was often still in power when the king and or the queen did not have the mental or physical capacity to still be president, still be president, still be king or queen or president or prime minister or whatever it might be. And the people that surround the person in a position of power cover that up. This is a story as old as the stories of power itself. So this is not some unbelievable narrative that none of us have ever confronted before. This is actually incredibly common. And so the fact that the party in power covered up their mentally and physically incapable leader in order to preserve their own proximity to power and ensure that they could still run the country effectively with a regency, a cabal of individuals who, again I will reiterate, should be investigated fully. And the Republican Party should have hearings about Biden's mental and physical cognitive state. And those should be prime time, and they should be covered widely. And everybody should be put under oath and brought in and asked who was actually running the country. And what did you see in the wake of everybody trying to cover up? But I actually think the media is more to blame than the Democrat Party because it shouldn't surprise anyone that people in positions of power will lie to preserve their power. The only reason media exists, especially media covering the president, is to speak truth to power, to actually tell us what's really going on, not what they're telling us is going on to keep democracy from dying in darkness. The Washington Post was able to cover Watergate and they were able to cover the Clinton impeachment. Two stories that were far more complicated, far more complicated than Biden's. Inability to be president. Yet now the Washington Post is coming out and saying, well, boy, somebody really should have told us that the President couldn't do the job. That's your job. That's the only job you have, is to speak truth to power and let us know what is actually going on. Now we did that here on this program, but I don't think we can give a pass. I think this is a major issue that isn't going to go away because sadly Biden is symptomatic of the collapse of the legacy media. And I've told you this and I wrote a lot about it. And I think this is one thing that I got a hundred percent right that still a lot of people haven't gotten around on. This is about business imperatives. This was not a flaw of the Washington Post and the New York Times. Think about how hard you had to work to break Watergate. I don't know how many man hours Woodward and Bernstein worked. I don't know how many hours they worked on the Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky fallout. Biden's mental and physical capacity legitimately, all you had to do was turn on the television and watch the guy walk to try to get on Air Force One. Watch him stand in front of the rostrum. And I said it for years and I've argued it for a long time, also understanding that was the absolute best version of Biden that existed. They hit him for 95% of his day. You got the best 5% of Biden. They shot him up. They prepared him the best they could. He would hold those note cards with all those reporters names on it. It was clear and evident to anyone with a functional brain that Biden's brain was not functional and that he did not have the physical capacity to be president. So they were able to cover Watergate, they were able to cover Clinton. Why did the newspaper that writes Democracy dies in darkness, the Washington Post and the New York Times, all the news that's fit to print, probably the New York Times and the Washington Post probably employ hundreds of people who live in Washington D.C. and are focused on covering politics. So we're talking about hundreds of people. How did they miss this? They didn't miss it. They intentionally didn't cover it because the business imperatives of their brands have changed. The Washington Post and the New York Times are subscriber based businesses now and their subscribers overwhelmingly are far left wing partisans. Great example. What happened when Jeff Bezos made the decision? The Washington Post is not going to endorse presidential candidates anymore. Hundreds of thousands of subscribers canceled their newspaper subscriptions. That shouldn't happen if you just cover the news. They don't just cover the news. They cover the news for far left wing ideologues that want to be told that their site is right and that they are the heroes of history. And I'm telling you, maybe it's because of what I do for a living. This is what sports message boards do. I don't know how many of you listen, how many of you out there are die hard sports fans. I am one that subscribe to a rival site or an on three site or a 247 site. You know what sites never break bad news about the coaching staff. Nobody ever gets caught cheating by a message board. Do you know why? Because the subscribers want to be told good news about their favorite program. And it's only when a coach gets fired that suddenly all the truth comes out about the coaches failures. That's exactly what's happened with Biden. The Washington Post and the New York Times are not news sites. They are fan subscription sites now. They exist to make their subscribers happy and convince them that they are on the right side. They are fan based journalism, which isn't really necessarily journalism at all. It's, it's just fan fiction. Awesome. Oftentimes. And really, I mean, I think Jeff Bezos has finally realized this and I think he's embarrassed. They just announced voluntary buyouts for anybody basically at the Washington Post. In the opinion universe who's been there for 10 or more years, I think he's realized that he's created a toxic echo chamber of left wing message board subscription idiocy. And I think frankly he's embarrassed by what that paper has become. But this is not a flaw. They didn't somehow cover Watergate and miss on Biden. If Trump had been in office and all of the things that Biden was doing mentally and physically were instead done by Trump, they would not have missed that story at the Washington Post. They tried the 25th amendment. Trump in his first term. Now you've heard that's kind of vanished that discussion now. But this is a larger flaw in the legacy media and I think you can connect it to Covid. But I think when you hear suddenly someone like Jake Tapper say boy, this is bigger than, than Watergate in many ways. Well yeah, of course it is. And somehow you missed it. So either you're a moron or telling the truth had a cost based on who your audience was. I don't think that all these people are Morons. I think that telling the truth had a cost based on their audiences and they did not tell the truth. Now, the interesting thing here is a lot of reasonable people out there. You're watching or listening to us now because we got things right with COVID and we got things right with Biden. And you may not agree with everything I say, you may not agree with everything that Buck says on a day to day basis. You shouldn't agree with anybody. 100% on anything would be my suggestion. But if you miss the two biggest stories of your career and don't just miss it, but are diametrically wrong and you're lecturing me along the way about how important it is, as you just heard, Biden, our patience is wearing thin. Your patience is wearing thin. That I have a brain and I'm not going to get a shot that is worthless for me or my family. We were right. And Democrats now are trying to avoid the reckoning. Legacy media now are trying to avoid the reckoning. That's really what the story of the original sin book is. It's shifting the blame entirely onto the Biden team and pretending that this cover up was so diabolical and so well done that nobody could have ever seen through it. The problem is actually millions and millions of people did see through it and you guys listening right now all saw through it. The question I have is why do these legacy media outlets still exist? Because if you're missing on the biggest, most important stories that most of you will ever cover in your career, what actual value are you providing? That's a question I think Jeff Bezos and many other people who are in positions of power and own these companies are starting to ask. I think you're starting to see it at Paramount with Sherry Redstone, cbs. I think you're seeing it with Comcast at NBC. I think they're looking around and saying, what in the world are we doing here? This is broken. And I think Trump winning the popular vote has given some of these people cover to address large systemic issues that they've seen but have been afraid for their own job status to be able and willing to address to this point. We'll talk about this more. I'll open up phone lines, 800-282-2882. In the meantime, James Kerry joined the United States Marine Corps after being inspired by his grandfather who also served our nation. James loved being a Marine, but his life would change forever. During a training exercise, he lost consciousness and nearly drowned. The incident resulted in a brain injury that left James blind and unable to use his body, susceptible to memory loss and is even brought on dementia. The Tunnel of the Towers foundation built James a specially adapted smart home to enable him to live more independently. Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, the lives of America's heroes and their families are being improved. James and so many other service members and first responders have paid a high price keeping our country and our community safe through Tunnel the Towers. Friends like you have said thank you not only through your words, but through your actions as well. America's heroes need your help now more than ever. Help heroes like James and their families. Donate $11 a month to tunnel the towers at t2t.org that's tthenumber2t. Or the medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran Contra affair, and I'm not taking any more questions. In just a second, I'm going to ask. I'm Leon Nayfak, co creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts once you wanna weigh in. Variety of different subjects, let you know. By the way, we are scheduled to talk with Riley Gaines top of the hour about a battle going on in California involving a male athlete trying to win women's state championships. Trump has weighed in. We'll talk about that and more with Riley in a moment. But first, Dan in Arizona, what you got for us? Hey, good morning, sir. I am very happy to be speaking with you today. Thank you. I'm happy you're listening and calling. What you got for us? Yes, sir. I just wanted to put it out there that I think Jake Tapper needs to donate 100% of his profits off of this book he wrote to a charity that supports dementia patients or dementia research or something like that. If he is truly a repentant man, it's a great idea. Thank you for the call. I don't think it's a bad idea at all. Look, Jake Tapper has made millions and millions of dollars for a long time. He has the ability to make substantial donations to charitable organizations. And if you really feel bad about the way you behaved in some situation, why should you profit off of it? I've said this. Tapper is in a unique spot here where he was able to make lots of money claiming to Democrats that Joe Biden did not have mental and physical cognition related issues. And now he's making millions of dollars from Democrats, but also from some of us that are out there listening right now who want to have a historical record of exactly what went on. Writing a book, Telling the truth. Awfully convenient that he was not willing to tell the truth and made money. And then as soon as Biden's gone, he tells the truth and he makes money too. I don't think that's a bad idea at all. Dan in Arizona, Ed in North Carolina. What you got for us? Hey, I want to make it quick. I wanted to bring up the fact that I think the Republican Party should make a point of the fact that, that those in the administration of Biden's administration had the responsibility to use the 25th Amendment to remove him and that they should take this and focus on those members if they're going to try and run for the President of the United States, that they had the responsibility, the duty to the Constitution, to the American people, to the world, to remove him from office. But they wouldn't do it yet. They would always constantly scream about President Trump, we need to remove him, we need to use the 25th Amendment. This is, this is just the pot calling is kettle black. It's just. Thanks for the call. Look, I mean, what I would say is this is why we need hearings. I want everyone that was close to Joe Biden brought in. If, as Jake Tapper is arguing, I think it's correct. This is way bigger than Watergate. I think that all of the people that surrounded Biden and protected him should be brought in, put under oath and we should have primetime hearings into the COVID up. Now, look, they did this for Jan.6. Which do you think is more significant? A one day riot of Jan. 6 in our nation's capital, which Democrats compared to the Civil War and did primetime hearings about for years. They talked about this or having a president for four years with not without the cognitive ability to actually be president. No contest. This is way worse. Up next, Riley Gaines.
