The legislature
lets bring in from kicked o
utility to Outkick lets bring
in Clay Travis the founder
clay good morning to you,
Ainsley good morning,
good morning to you guys
appreciate you having me
Steve, you bet. So what do you
think of the lead story? Andrew
Cuomo saw the writing on the
wall and said got to go for
all of you im quitting for
all of you, because I work
for all of you
look. I think this is about
trying to preserve Andrew Cuomo
s electoral ability to get
another office in the future.
This is what I said on my radio
show. Yesterday. I just heard
Brian talking aunt it a little
bit as well.
It wouldnt stun me guys if he
tries to run for the New York
governorship in twenty twenty two in the
democratic primary, because
if you look at the most recent
polling, hes still above
everybody else,
if he goes out, he says he tried
to save and preserve the
institution of the governor
ship, but he wants
to throw himself back on the
voters of New York.
The only way he could preserve
any viability as a politician by
resigning as opposes to
impeaching. I think he still
believes that he could be
re elected as governor in twenty T2.
Even after all of this, it would
not stun me at all if hes
running by next year,
Ainsley really. But what about
the women he needs? Women to vote
and seventy percent of New York registered
voters said he should go
yeah its amazing. How
quickly peoples opinions can
change
thatS got to be what hes
hoping on if he drops out of the
public eye for a few months.
Look almost every politician
only cares about one thing:
finding a way to get re elected
or to continue to be in power,
and this is the only way I
think Andrew Cuomo could in any
way preserve his ability
going forward
if he gets impeached this drags
on for months. He has no hope in
two thousand and twenty two and remember the favorite
in many circles, be the New York
attorney General LAW enforcement
Leticia James. So
maybe he wants an opportunity to
make his case even more to the
public in New York and to go
head to head with that attorney
general and argue that the
reason she wanted to remove
him was because she wanted his
job
im, not one hundred percent sure. No one knows
whats going to happen going
forward, but id be stunned. If
this is the last time we ever
see Andrew Cuomo run for a
political office.
Brian Hillary Clinton, thinking
about running Alveda, Sharpton
and the only other thing bad
about Cuomo is he was a bad
governor.
Hes got a terrible track record
who Al Pacino thought was cool,
all celebrities kind of like him,
but hes a terrible governor.
I dont think theres any
doubt.
Joe Biden yesterday tried to
pretend that ten point five years was a
success.
When you go out this way, as you
guys said, thousands and
thousands of people dead in
nursing homes because of your
failure and also all of this
sexual harassment. I think
you could make a strong argument
that not only is Andrew Cuomo a
bad governor, he maybe a
criminal governor and also the
worst elected official of
the 21st century, its impossible
for anyone. I believe to have
done a worse job. Contrary to
what Joe Biden said when he
tried to phrase the overall
tenure of Andrew Cuomo,
Steve Clay lets talk a little
bit about its back to school
week.
By the end of the week, thirty six percent of
Americas, kids will be back in
school.
Weve been talking about how
there are mask mandates all
across the country.
You felt so strongly about it.
Weve got a clip of you at your
school board meeting and you
made it very clear where the
Travis family stands.
Lets watch this
dont. Let your kids wear,
masks.
Applause,
Steve, I heard somebody say time
so youve got it out right
in time.
Look the most important job
ive got, and I know you guys
know this too is dad mom. You
know your parenting. Jobs are
the most important and I went as
a parent.
Ive got two kids in public
school here in the Nashville
area and out of nowhere after
school started back weve
been to three days.
They suddenly have implemented
now a mask mandate for kids,
kindergarten to fifth grade
ive got a first grader and
fifth grader and they told me
dad were sick of wearing masks.
We did it all. Last year
we were fortunate. They were in
person,
theres, no statistical data out
there at all to support that
masks, make any of our kids safer,
and this is just madness, and I
believe that parents everywhere
need to go to the very root of
the democracy here. Show up at
your school board meetings
we had over. A thousand people
show up
the vast majority of them
protesting the school boards
decisions to implement, masks for
kids, and I think people all
over the country need to get
involved and active in their
kids return to school and try
to fight against this mask
mandate. Sweeping the country,
Brian Clay. You really think
parents should make decisions
for their kids. I cant believe
that
laughter
its a wild idea, Brian
Brian, the governor of Texas
and Florida, are considered the
worst people on the planet
because they want to empower
parents.
How do we get so twisted on this?
Look if you feel that your
kids need to be in a mask, you
have the right as a parent to
send them in a mask. Let parents
make the choice.
I give credit to Texas and
governors of Texas and Florida.
We need more governors standing
up for parent choice,
Ainsley I agree and when you go
pick up your kids, how old are
your kids
ive got like? I said, a first
grader whose six and I have a 10
year old and also a
13 year old,
Ainsley, the six year old. You go
pick them up from school.
Sometimes the mask is underneath
their nose and they arent even
wearing it properly.
Oh, of course,
people adults dont wear may
mask properly. Can you imagine
everybody whose ever had a kid?
They are petri dishes the idea
they are wearing their mask
properly or impacting in anyway
covid its pure madness,
Steve Dr Fauci, be horrified.
