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

Welcome in Friday edition, Open Line Friday.

I am Clay Travis.

I am in Las Vegas, Buck.

That's how much of a battle I think we are headed for between people who are saying and look at the data

and people who are insane and don't look at the data at all.

When you have people in Washington, DC, for example, who are masking up even in advance of the official mandate that's going in place,
