Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Bucks Xtons Show Podcast.

Says there's a COVID drug links. This isn't Bloomberg. So this is as of February 1st, 2023.

Just broke yesterday. The headline is Merck COVID drug linked to new virus mutations according to study so far.

The versions aren't more lethal or immune evasive, but Merck is to study.

A Merck is disputing this saying the drug is very valuable. I do think that as we go forward with all of this

when it comes to COVID, we have to remember the people who up to this point have said, shut up, do what we tell you, we have the answers.

And the more vociferously they have made those claims, the more catastrophically and blatantly wrong they have been.

There's also, Clay, I'm getting excited about this one too, a massive mega study, meta study, whatever you want to call it,

of masking that has come out peer reviewed medical journal. Guess what you find out from that one. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Masking does if not nothing, 99% nothing as in so small that statistically you can't prove it.

So if you can't prove something because it's so statistically insignificant, I think it's fair to say it doesn't work.

Right, I think we can go to that level and Clay, I want to dive into both of these things in a little bit.

But you know, there's that old line about hubris, I can't remember exactly where it comes from, but hubris is, I'm sorry, no, Hutzpah, not hubris.

Hutzpah is if you kill your parents and then tell the judge that you deserve mercy because you're an orphan, there's this old line that that is what Hutzpah is.

Hunter Biden has Hutzpah, you may use a different word because you were Clay, but you know, because you like to say the things, I'm like,

are we allowed to say that on the radio? Right.

He's got some something on him for sure. Hunter Biden now has his lawyers saying that they that federal and state prosecutors should open criminal investigations,

criminal investigations into people who shared the laptop and the information of this, he wants investigations of Rudy Giuliani, Steve, Ben, and John Mac, Isaac, who owns that computer repair shop.

And Biden, of course, in this process, Hunter Biden is admitting beyond any, not that there wasn't a doubt, but he's admitting the whole thing was real.

There's nothing fake. There was no Russian disinformation. I got to think Clay that this is because he's worried at this stage about something.

What do you, what do you think is why is Hunter all of a sudden? Is this trying to run a smoke screen for dad with the documents? Like, why is there pressure?

Is he worried about what's in the classified documents? Cause he's going on offense and he's in no position to do so.
