Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Podcast.

Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

A lot to dive into throughout the course of today's program. About an hour we're going to be

joined by Alex Berencine. I think you guys will enjoy that as we talk about the latest COVID data.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Buck and I will discuss that a bit as we are both

history nerds and it is an amazing and captivating story 80 years to the day since that happened almost 80 years to the hour, I believe,

as we move across this show.

We're also going to talk about a swimmer that we touched on a little bit on Friday at the University of

Pennsylvania who after three years swimming as a man for the Ivy League team there at Pennsylvania has now decided to swim as a woman.

And over the weekend won the 500 erase by nearly 15 seconds, which is an unbelievable story when it comes to really the

future of women's athletics if biological men can just decide to become women and compete against women. We'll talk about that and more, but right off the top some good news.

The Omicron fear seems to be subsiding. I like to look a lot of times to the stock market, which is surging back to essentially where it was before.

And the idea that this was going to be some sort of debilitating variant coming out of South Africa as it spread around the world does not appear to be holding up with much substance.

There is a good story that Buck and I will get into about exactly how transmissible it is that one person could potentially give it to 120 people and that all of them would have mostly a mild version of COVID.

We will discuss potentially a mutation has actually worked in favor, but right off the top here, I want to have a discussion with Buck about this.

The data continues to come in and at this point, I think is virtually unassailable that if you are unvaccinated, you have virtually the same risk of spreading COVID as someone who is vaccinated.

And I was thinking about this a lot after we talked yesterday, Buck, to start all the new insane restrictions that are being put in place in New York City.

How is it that we aren't having a real discussion and I start off the show today because I know a lot of people out there listen to this show as rush used to say as show prep for much of their own shows.

How is it that we're not having a discussion about the fact that at this point in time and frankly for the last six months or so, everyone who is unvaccinated is making a calculated decision.

To be unvaccinated and now that we know a lot of the criticism of the unvaccinated has been, oh my goodness, you're going to make me sicker, you're going to get me sick because the vaccinated people have it trusted their vaccines.

But Buck, now that we know that when you get vaccinated, you have a less severe case of COVID if you get it from hospitalization or death related issues, but you're no more likely necessarily to spread COVID than someone who has not.

Why don't we just allow people to take their own risk and move on and go to 100% normalcy in this country?
