1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay, Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Our three of Clay and Buckets going 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: right now, and we have hit it, the debt ceiling. 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: We are there, my friends. Thirty one point four trillion dollars. 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: That is the statutory limit. The United States government has 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: hit the statutory limit, like the Titanic running into an iceberg. 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Just kidding, it's all gonna be fine, everybody. They're gonna 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: try to freak you out about this. Look, the debt 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: isn't all gonna be fine in so far as this 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: is a big problem. But the oh my gosh, the 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: government it's not gonna pay its bills. It's it's gonna 12 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: pay its bills. I mean, here's how CNN describes it, 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: forcing the Treasury Department to take extraordinary measures to keep 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: the government paying its bills, escalating pressure on Capitol Hill 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: to avoid a catastrophic default. The battle lines for the 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: high stakes fight have already been set. Hardline Republicans sounds 17 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Scary Clay, who have enormous sway in the House because 18 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: of the party slim majority, have demanded that lifting the 19 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: borrowing cap be tied to spending reductions. Doesn't that seem 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, let's just again, let's put on our reasonable 21 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: guy in galhats for a moment. We have run up 22 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: a thirty one trillion dollar debt. If somebody wants to 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: claim that it doesn't matter, you know, que Paul Krugman 24 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: with some column or he's like, it doesn't matter. We 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: can just we're borrowing money from ourselves. It doesn't you know, 26 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: Paul Krugman perhaps the most consistently wrong Nobel Laureate I 27 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: can think of in history. I mean, the guy's wrong 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: about everything all the time. If Paul Krugman says, BA, 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: you should sell, you know that that's the way it 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: works here. We are thirty one trillion. If it's no 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: big deal, why not fifty trillion, or why not just 32 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: give everybody ten million dollars? If there is no connection 33 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: whatsoever to monetary policy and economic health. They're really just 34 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: hoping that people can't fathom or will ignore what this 35 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: really means and what the financial implications of this may 36 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: be for them. Just the service on the debt that 37 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: we have begins to crowd out spending. And the problem 38 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: is that when Democrats see that, their reaction will be 39 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: Oh but we have more essential things. We have to 40 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: spend money on clay. You know the history of fiat currency. 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: You want to get scared. You know, you can read 42 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: about the history of fiat currency and one ends up 43 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: happening to governments that abuse it because eventually it collapses. 44 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying our currency is going to collapse. 45 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: We're very fortunate this is America. Joe Biden's in charge. 46 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: It feels like our economy is almost idiot proof. It's 47 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: not quite, but almost. And yet thirty one trillion dollars 48 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: should be alarm bells, shouldn't it. It's not only that 49 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: it's thirty one trillion to me, because buck if we 50 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: had added that thirty one trillion dollars along the way 51 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: of our two hundred plus years as a nation, such 52 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: that every year had basically been the same cost, we're not. 53 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: We are accelerating our spending in an aggressive way. And 54 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: this is important because the Tea Party initially got its 55 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: voice when we approached ten trillion dollar national debt. That 56 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: was a big number. That was a flashpoint. Many people said, oh, 57 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: my goodness, this is a monstrous debt that we have 58 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: built up ten trillion. As you just said, we're now 59 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: over thirty trillion. So in the space of twelve years, 60 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: we've added twenty trillion dollars to our national debt, and 61 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: we are running up. It appears around a trillion dollars 62 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: a year in additional national debt every year into the 63 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: foreseeable future. When does it end? How does it end? 64 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: One way to contextualize this is by just talking about 65 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: the percentage of our overall expenses that are now eaten 66 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: up by interest, because the interest on thirty trillion dollars 67 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: is approaching a substantial scale of our national debt. And 68 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: I was reading the other day, I think in the 69 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal buck only about sixteen percent of our 70 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: budget now is discretionary. Think about that for a minute. 71 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: We have so many obligations when it comes to Social Security, 72 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: when it comes to Medicare, when it comes to Medica, 73 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: it is discretionary. So when we're talking about multi trillion 74 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: dollar budgets and all those things, understand that most of 75 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: that money has already spent. And so if you were 76 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: many states have a balanced budget amendment, right, So if 77 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: you live where I do in State of Tennessee, we 78 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: can't spend more money as a state than we take in. 79 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: The federal government has not had that restriction. I use 80 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: the example, we spent more money responding to COVID than 81 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: we did World War Two, even in real dollars, which 82 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: is crazy to think about. So how do we fix this? 83 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: This is an untenable position for us to be in, 84 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: and ultimately it is you can't just cover your eyes 85 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: and claim like I thought when I was a kid, buck, 86 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: I bet you kind of thought about this too. I 87 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: used to not worry about the national debt in the 88 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties because I'd just be like, well, the government 89 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: can just print more money. They can always pay off 90 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: their national debt. That's kind of the magical thinking that 91 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Democrats are governing with right now. And unfortunately, there aren't 92 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: enough Republican adults in the room who we're going to 93 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: sit down and say this is an untenable position. At 94 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: some point, we have to restrain the spending. But in 95 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: terms of this story, we know how it ends. I 96 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: don't get very fired up with stories that I know 97 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: how they end. Already, we're not going to default, the 98 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: country's not going to go bankrupt, Like eventually, there's going 99 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: to be a resolution on what the spending looks like 100 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: the national debt in the year two thousand was five 101 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: point seven trillion dollars. I mean, that's amazing to think about. 102 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Say that again two thousand five to the year two thousand, 103 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: so just over twenty years ago it was five point 104 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: six and change trillion dollars. So we've added twenty five 105 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: trillion dollars plus in national debt in the twenty first 106 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: century alone. When the Tea Party recognize what was going 107 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: on in two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, 108 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: when the national debt was eleven trillion dollars in two 109 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, it then jumped up. By twenty sixteen 110 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: it was almost twenty trillion dollars, and now here we 111 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: are it is thirty one point four trillion dollars. It 112 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: has taken off like the climate change hockey stick graph 113 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: chart that people used to talk you know that don't 114 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: talk about that anymore because you know the data. But 115 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: here we although al Gordon, we need to get some 116 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: of just for entertainment purposes, for everyone's amusement, we define 117 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: some of the thunderous bloated al Gore, you know, pounding 118 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: the table about the need the urgency to save the planet, 119 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,559 Speaker 1: and the guy is such a lunatic, and I feel 120 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: sorry for people that believed in his in his nonsense. 121 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: I think we've got it. We got it already in 122 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: the in the roster here, so we can I think 123 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: we can toss that in the mix, because you know, 124 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: on the one hand, there's people who are saying, hey, 125 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: we're thirty one trillion dollars in debt. Isn't there something 126 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: Isn't there an urgency to tackle this problem? Don't we 127 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: want to make sure we don't create a situation where 128 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: we have, you know, hyper inflation at some point in 129 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: our future, or we have a default on the debt, 130 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: or any of these things that can happen that everyone 131 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: right now says, Oh, that'll never happen. Meanwhile, back in 132 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: al gore Land over in Davos, he put down his 133 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: third cheeseburger long enough to start pounding the table and 134 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: yelling at everybody. I'm actually kind of hunger right now, 135 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: yelling at everybody about this play the clip, would you? 136 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: Al Gore screaming at everybody, We've got it. We've got 137 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: a hat cut five. There we go. That's the part 138 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: of the atmosphere that has oxygen. The droposphere. We're still 139 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: putting one hundred and sixty two million tons into it 140 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: every single day, and the accumulated amount is now trapping 141 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: as much extra heat as would be released by six 142 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: hundred thousand herosia mclass atomic bombs exploding every single day 143 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: on the Earth. That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these 144 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture 145 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: out of the land, and creating the droughts and melting 146 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: the ice and raising the sea level and causing these 147 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: waves of climate refugees. Greta Tunberg was just arrested in Germany. 148 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: I agree with her efforts to stop that coal mine 149 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: in I mean this, he's like a psychopathic cult leader, 150 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: screaming nonsense at people, and yet he's surrounded with some 151 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: of the richest and most influential global elites in the world. 152 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the stuff boiling the seas. He should go 153 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: jump in the water off Long Island in the wintertime, 154 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: right now, go check it out. Why doesn't Greta ever 155 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: protest in China? She protests an awful lot of places 156 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: where she knows the consequences of protests are actually just 157 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: praise right. I just people who constantly protest and never 158 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: are willing to protest the places that are doing the 159 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: worst version of what they're protesting. I don't have any 160 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: respect for them. Like if Greta got on an airplane 161 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: and flew to China and went and found the most 162 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: polluting region in China and like, you know, locked herself 163 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: to a gate at a Chinese factory, I'll be like, Okay, 164 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: Like she's living her worldview. She's actually putting her cell 165 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: on the line. When you're in Europe, or you're in 166 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: the United States, or you're in a democracy and you 167 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: decide to protest, you often get rewarded. This is like 168 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: the Kaepernick thing, when taking a knee makes you more 169 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: money than standing for the national anthem. Is it really 170 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,359 Speaker 1: brave to take a knee? No? I mean go to China, 171 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: actually stand up to places where there are real human 172 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: rights violations. Put yourself on the line. I mean, she 173 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: can fly in there right now if she's truly obsessed 174 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: with climate change. China is creating far more global greenhouse 175 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: emissions than any other country I think in the world. 176 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: They have relatively limited if any interest in actually declining that, 177 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: go chain yourself to the entrance gate of a Chinese 178 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: factory and see what they do to you. But isn't 179 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: it remarkable that we are It is so much more 180 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: fashionable as we are sitting here and the thirty one 181 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: truly dollar debt limit has been hit, and by any 182 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: objective historical standard, it's crazy. What's what the federal government 183 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: is doing? It's crazy. The problem with waiting until it's 184 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: obvious to everybody is then it's too late. That's also 185 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: when you when you will learn the history of fiat 186 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: currencies and spending crazes. By the time everybody gets that 187 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: this is an issue, it's already it's already too far. Well, 188 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: this is the basis for crypto, right buck. This is 189 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: what all the crypto people, if you really the ones 190 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: who are smart enough to understand it, are like, you 191 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: can't trust currencies anymore because they're so devalued based on 192 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: the debt loads that the only thing that's going to 193 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: have any value is a universal cryptocurrency. Now, I don't 194 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: think clearly has not been the case recently, but that's 195 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: their argument. They see it. At least, it's still an argument. 196 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how convincing it is because Unfortunately, crypto 197 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: is also through blockchain. What all the transactions are based 198 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: on the ledger, right, so that's all public. But if 199 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: crypto is going to be people creating new coins all 200 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: the time, there's a problem with oh look there's a 201 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: new crypto coin out there. My biggest thing with crypto 202 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: is if you really think we're headed towards governmental collapse, 203 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: are you really think the Wi fi is going to 204 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: be that reliable, Like I think we'll go back to 205 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: gold bars and you know, like the actual ways that 206 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: we had physical assets. Right, You'll notice that in post 207 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: apocalyptic movies there's never a guy who's like, hey, I 208 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: need food, oil and ammunition. Here's my thumb drive with 209 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: my dose coin right right, doesn't really get it done. 210 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: So I'm not sold on the idea that nerds are 211 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: going to deliver the world. And you know, suddenly the 212 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: like the Wi Fi doesn't work that regularly in my 213 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: house now and the democracy works. I'm not really convinced 214 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: that if the world collapses then I'm gonna be able 215 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: to get on and look at cat videos. You know 216 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: what you do need things get rough out there, guns, ammunition, 217 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: important stuff, and gun owners you gotta make sure that 218 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: your skills are sharp right, because you're gonna enjoy yourself 219 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: more at the range. And also you just want to 220 00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: make sure that you know how to wield your weapon. 221 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: Like everything else out there, the cost of ammunition has 222 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: been affected so much by inflation. Ammo's gotten really expensive. 223 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: But you can train without ammunition at your home. It's 224 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: a device and an accompanying app called mantis X. Many 225 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: of the best shooters now do the majority of their 226 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: training with dry fire practice at home. That's what mantis 227 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: X is. A firearms training system that is a no amo, 228 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: all electronic way to improve your shooting accuracy. It simply 229 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: attaches to your firearm like a weapon light, and that 230 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: way you can use it at home or at the 231 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: range for training instead of using expensive mo. The mantis 232 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: X gives you data driven real time feedback on your 233 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: technique and guides you through drills and courses. Nearly everyone, 234 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean like ninety four percent of the people using 235 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: the mantis x system have seen improvement in their aim 236 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: and results through just twenty minutes of using mantis X. 237 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: Imagine what happens after using this for five or ten 238 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: hours or just regular practice with it. It's also being used, 239 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: by the way by US military special forces, military grade 240 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: technology at an affordable price. Get yours today, I've got 241 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: mine here at home the mantis X system at mantis 242 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: x dot com. That's m A N T I s 243 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: x dot com. Learn and Last Weekdays with Clay Travis 244 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton. Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton 245 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Show Buck. One of the side show stories that's gotten 246 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: a lot of attention is this George Santos, what his 247 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,239 Speaker 1: background is. He's clearly lied about many of the biographical 248 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: details that he has shared over the course of his career. 249 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: I don't about you, but when you have so many 250 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: politicians out there, many of them Democrats, including Joe Biden himself, 251 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: who have told massive whopper wise and had no consequences 252 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: for them, it's hard for me to get that worked 253 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: up about Santos. Like in two years less than two 254 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: years now, next year he'll be theoretically back on the 255 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: ballot and Long Island Republicans will have a choice, do 256 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: we want to stand by this guy, do we think 257 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: he's done a good job for two years, or do 258 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: we want to select somebody new. In other words, when 259 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: you're a House member, you're almost constantly running for reelection. 260 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: There is no real offseason when there's an election every 261 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: two years on whether or not you keep your job. 262 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: And I thought Byron Donalds did a really good job 263 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: because there's been this desperate attempt, I think, to distract 264 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: from the Joe Biden classified documents scandal and try to 265 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: focus on the Santos story. And Byron Donald's opponent pointed out, hey, 266 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: Richard Blumenthal, he claimed that he was a war veteran. 267 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Listen to this. In this country, you're still innocent, so 268 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: proven guilty. There have been members who have issues have 269 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: come up in the pass. They were allowed to be 270 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: on their committees, to be sadd on committees, and then 271 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: it's a legal process. Thees hold and we make adjustments. 272 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: So this probably what's gonna happen today. Are you any 273 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: of the members calling on him to resign? And I've 274 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: been clear, I think that's something between him and his fathers. 275 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: It's unfortunate what has occurred, But I mean, look, Richard Blumenthal, 276 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: who's still a Senator and lied about his service, He's 277 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: still a senator today. Elizabeth Warren lied about being a 278 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: Native American for her entire adult life. She's still a senator. 279 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: Why I didn't hear anybody claimed that she had to resign. 280 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Ever either never saw that argument, and she used that 281 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: that lie to honestly, without that lie, she doesn't have 282 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: anything even vaguely approaching the career she does now because 283 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: it was all built on her getting certain kinds of 284 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: jobs as a law professor. Despite I think she went 285 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: to ud go to Rutgers. I forget where she went 286 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: and for her where did she get her law degree? 287 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: I can't remember now she got She got her jobs 288 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: by claiming to be a minority as a law professor, 289 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: which allowed her the platform to eventually end up running 290 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: for this in it as a Harvard law professor. She 291 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: went to Rutgers Law School, I was right. Act Wow, 292 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: I can't ever remembered that she went to Rutgers Law 293 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: School and then went on to teach at Harvard Law. 294 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: Now this is not a knock on Rutgers Law School. 295 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a fine institution. She was the only 296 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: person in the history I believe, of Rutgers Law School 297 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: to go on to be a professor of law at Harvard. Yeah, 298 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: I mean, look, she traded on a falsehood that she 299 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: was Native American in order to get her toe in 300 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: the door to get a career as a professor, So 301 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: no one's demanding that she stepped down, despite the fact 302 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: that her entire career is rooted in a lie. Blumenthal 303 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: as well, Joe Biden has told so many lies it's 304 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: hard to even keep track of all of them, including 305 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: the fact that they used to go to black churches 306 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: all the time, as recently as on MLK Day.

Oh? I think al Gore would 331 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: be way better. Just yeah, I think it would be 332 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: way better, just because I think that Gore is actually 333 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: capable of thought, and I don't like, I understand this. 334 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: This whole obsession with climate change is this is this 335 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: is lunacy, Clay, Okay, this is like his religion and 336 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: he's a high priest in it, and it's a think 337 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: of I think you're you would they would get rid 338 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: of plastic bags in Tennessee. They'd come after you, guys. 339 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that he would be able to do 340 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: anything that they haven't already done on climate related issues. 341 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: And I think he's lost his mind. I think this 342 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: is the this is the downside in general. Buck, I 343 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: would say, with being a public figure for a long 344 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: time and not having some dose of reality, it's just 345 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: like does he care about like who wins a college 346 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: football game? I think it's important to not get maniacally 347 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: focused on any one thing, right, And his thing is 348 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: the climate. Like Greta, here he is yesterday saying that 349 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: the greatest threat to remember thirty one point four trillion. 350 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: We just hit it today. Here. The greatest threat to 351 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: the global economy not the rush of Ukraine war, not 352 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: the thirty one trillion, no, no, none of that. It is, 353 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: of course climate change black clip eight. We live on 354 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: an earth that is under siege and it's costing an 355 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: increasing amount each year in the last decade two and 356 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: a half trillion dollars, an increase of one trillion over 357 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: the previous ten years. In the annual report put out 358 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: by the WEFT here in Davos each year, the greatest 359 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: threat to the global economy is the climate crisis. I 360 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: just don't buy it. I look, but here's my thing. 361 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: And nobody ever really is able to understand this or 362 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: I understand his wrong word, but like really like dispute it. 363 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: If you study the history of the Earth's geology for 364 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: a very long time, what you see is that wide 365 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: ranges of temperature occur all of the time, right, Like 366 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: there are dinosaur bones in far northern Canada because it 367 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: used to be and I'm I'm not an expert on 368 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: the overall climate, but it used to be like a 369 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, swamp and tropical environment in kind in Canada. 370 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: Right historically and I'm not talking historically, maybe even the 371 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: wrong word, because we're talking about maybe geologically, the constant 372 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: change of temperature has been one of the biggest parts 373 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: of life on the planet. So I just don't buy 374 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: that suddenly humans are going to get wiped off the 375 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: planet because the climate changes. So I think that it's 376 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: you can make this really simple, because I'll go, we 377 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: could just play you endless clips of him saying completely insane, 378 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: completely insane things on a regular basis, making predictions that 379 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: are absolutely wrong, and it doesn't matter. He doesn't care. 380 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: And so in a sense, what we've seen with COVID, 381 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: where people have been completely wrong, took all this power 382 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: into their hands, totally wrong, and there's no remorse. There's 383 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: no apology. They just kind of continue going on with 384 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: this climate is the area where you've seen something similar 385 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: to that? The science says, But the science is always wrong, 386 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: So why don't we keep listening to the quote science. 387 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm here in Miami right now, Clay. If I went 388 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: up to somebody because if you look at An Inconvenient Truth, 389 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: the Al Gore movie, you remember, Florida goes underwater very 390 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: very soon. I've never even watched An Inconvenient Truth. I 391 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: should probably go watch it. It's so bad. It's so bad. 392 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: I had a college girlfriend when I was back in college. 393 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: She was liberal and she made me watch it, and 394 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: it's terrible. But anyway, if I went up to somebody 395 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: who had beach front property here in down in Florida, 396 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: and I said, look, I got a great I got 397 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: a great opportunity for you. Your house is going to 398 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: be underwater in the next ten to fifteen years. We 399 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: know this because of the science. I will give you 400 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: a twenty five percent offer on the current value of 401 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: your house right now, no questions asked. I think I 402 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: could do that for literally every resident with beachfront property 403 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: here in Florida and not get a single not get 404 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: a single person, no matter what their politics are, who 405 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: they vote for, or how much they say they're worried 406 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 1: about climate and climate change is gonna melt the world, 407 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: not a single one of them would take me up 408 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: on that because they don't actually believe it. This is 409 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: a thing with climate change. They just want the benefit 410 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: of the pretense of the belief without actually having to 411 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: live the lifestyle or go through any of this. It's 412 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: always somebody else who has to bear the cost of 413 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: the action necessary to keep all of this going right. 414 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: Somebody else has to make the sacrifices. I love looking 415 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: the whole Dabos thing where you fly on a private 416 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: jet often get picked up by a helicopter once you 417 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: land your the jet. To go talk about how threatening 418 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: climate change is is absurdly hypocritically ridiculous. But your point 419 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: on Miami is a good one. I would just go 420 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: out to la every single day. It feels like, certainly 421 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: every month, there is a massive new record cell in 422 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: Malibu on the beach, beachfront, properties going for dollar figures 423 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: that are through the roof. Yet when I put on 424 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: the oscars to the extent that I do, because I'm 425 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: not sure I saw any of the movies that are 426 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: going to be OSCAR nominated this year, A decent number 427 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: of those actors and actresses that get up and speak 428 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: about how danger the climate is in the world will 429 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: either have the people who fund their movies having bought 430 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: Malibu beach houses or own one themselves. If you truly believe, 431 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, one of the first things 432 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: I did when I sold my company buck was by 433 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: beach front property down on the Florida Gulf Coast to 434 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 1: build a home down there. I don't believe that that 435 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: home is ever going to be in danger because of 436 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: the rising oceans. Neither of the people buying homes in Malibuu, 437 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: because if you did, one of them sold for a 438 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars recently Buckets on the beach, and you 439 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: could even say, well, okay, well fine, maybe they just 440 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: want the house for the next ten years and they'll 441 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: roll the dice on the rest of it. Okay, I'll 442 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: buy land, sell me undeveloped beach front land in Malibu, 443 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: because you know that'll take a long to have to 444 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: build a house. I'll have to do the I'll take 445 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: that thirty year bet right now, I'll take that thirty 446 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: year bet. Not a single person will actually do it. Nobody, 447 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: Nobody is willing to individually pay the price of their 448 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: pseudo convictions. When it comes to climate change and the 449 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: fact that people worship this child, Greta Thunberg. I guess 450 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: she's like eighteen now, right, but it's basically still a kid. 451 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't know anything, and think that she's that They treat 452 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: her as some kind of symbol of wisdom on this. 453 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: The same people who say shut up and listen to 454 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: Fauci and all the doctors because they're experts, the same 455 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: people tell you shut up and listen to Greta Fundberg. 456 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: She understands the climate. Greta Fundberg couldn't do my Algebra 457 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: one homework from high school. But I'm going to listen 458 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: to her about the global economy and how we're all 459 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: gonna die unless we listen to her like this. There 460 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: is a mass hysteria that has spread on issues like this, 461 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: and particularly on climate change. I've talked to people, think 462 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: I've had people approached me and say, you know, you 463 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: seem pretty reasonable and everything else. You know, some wealthy 464 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: people in New York. This has happening before they say, 465 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: but I mean, you don't believe in climate change. They 466 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: look at me like I'm crazy. Yeah, and they and 467 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: they think that that's some kind of marker of intelligence. Oh, 468 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: believing in climate change means you're a smart person, based 469 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: on what buck Every story that has to do with 470 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: weather in the last decade, every one of them now 471 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: must mention climate change in its article about weather. In 472 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, it was cold and I love I 473 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: do love late at night if I'm gonna watch something 474 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: I love to watch. You know, uh, any of those 475 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: old like you know, the nature programs like oh and 476 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: like the sea lion is going through the ocean and 477 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: oh no, the part of Orcas has arrived, you know, 478 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing in Richard Attenborough. Um. Every time now 479 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: you watch any natural pro nature programming, they'll be like, 480 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: oh this, this fish species is declining because of the 481 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 1: ravages of climate change. Every single time you can't watch 482 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: one without that happening. And so I'm angry at them 483 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: about that too, because they're ruining what should be. I mean, 484 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: can we can we just watch like lions chase gazelles 485 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: without getting someone's lunatic politics thrown in the knicks. By 486 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: the way, here what we have, Greta. Do you want 487 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: to hear the Greta audio? We have Greta audio. I 488 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: want her to go to China and and and I 489 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,479 Speaker 1: wanted to walk herself to a gate at a Chinese 490 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: factory to protest Chima climate change. That's what I'm calling 491 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: on Greta Thundberg today. Play clip twenty. Oh. Oh, I 492 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: thought we had I thought we had it. Sorry, well, 493 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: we'll get the Greta when we come back. But she 494 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: just got arrested, and sure enough, this is where she's 495 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: gonna be safe again. Here's the other thing I can 496 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: I can I point out what what just happened? Just 497 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: over notes, this is a problem with live radio. Our 498 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: team sent me Greta is twenty, and I assume they meant, oh, 499 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: we have the audio it's clip twenty, but she's actually 500 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: years twenty years old, now I understand, which is no 501 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 1: longer a teenager. She's a she's a she's a very 502 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: well seasoned twenty year old. Right now. I will just 503 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: point this out too. In addition to uh, every time 504 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: there is an article now about any climate issue they 505 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: mentioned and you just said on the health on the 506 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: you know nature shows they've been taking. My wife used 507 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: to make fun of this because all sometimes listen to 508 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: history books on on like audio book when we're driving around, 509 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: and she just rolls her eyes the amount of time 510 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: they spend talking about the weather in any history book. 511 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we had a horrible storm, and then 512 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: that impact like, well, there's kind of been a big 513 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: deal for a long time. And so this idea that 514 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: every single time there is a unique weather event that 515 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: is worthy of being covered as a story, that you 516 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: have to discuss the climate change. Yet simultaneously, what will 517 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: they say, buck about any time a twenty year old 518 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: drops dead all of a sudden. You can't mention that 519 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: there might be anything other than normal everyday life that 520 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: this is involved in. Right, can mention the COVID shot, 521 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 1: But every single time there's a weather incident, you have 522 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: to mention the climate. We can definitely mention the thirty 523 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: one trillion dollars in debt, and we're going to keep 524 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: mentioning it because a lot of impacts on the economy, 525 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: and people are thinking we could head into a deep 526 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: recession this coming year.

So breaking news just coming down. 553 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has announced that they have been unable 554 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: to figure out who leaked the dabb's decision months before 555 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: it was officially released. They were quote unable to identify 556 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: a person responsible by a preponderance of the evidence. And 557 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: so as these details continue to come out, I don't understand. 558 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, and I'm reading multiple stories 559 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: right now, I don't understand Buck, how the Supreme Court 560 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: doesn't demand further investigation. Remember, they were conducting this internally. 561 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: The clerks who were in charge of security there and 562 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm reading again, team has been unable to respond. They 563 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: said they looked at all the courts, computer devices, networks, 564 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: printers available, call in texlogs, but investigators have found no 565 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: forensic evidence indicating who disclosed the draft opinion. They say 566 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,719 Speaker 1: they conducted one hundred and twenty six formal interviews of 567 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: ninety seven employees. And again I'm reading directly from this 568 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: report which just came down that they don't know who 569 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: did it. Basically, do you believe them or is this 570 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: the system just deciding it's going to be easier for 571 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: everyone if we pretend this didn't happen. I have a 572 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: hard time. Look, I worked at the CIA, and I 573 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: can tell you that when they want to get somebody 574 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: for a leak, they'll get that person for the league. 575 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: I might take some time. Now. Granted, that has to 576 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: do with very serious criminal statutes, right, that's a bit 577 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: different than this, which is more of an administrative issue. 578 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: But I just find it hard to believe that. I mean, 579 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: maybe this is just I'm finding more hard to swallow 580 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: or hard to accept than hard to believe. But it's 581 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's not that many people, Clay, That's right, 582 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: That's the key. There are so few people that would 583 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: have ever had access to a draft Supreme Court opinion, 584 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: so automatically your field of investigation. They said they interviewed 585 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: what one hundred ninety seven people or what? I just whatever? 586 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: I just read one hundred and twenty six interviews automatically, 587 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: your field of potential leakers is tiny. So and then 588 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: you know who ended up reporting this, right, I believe 589 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: it was Politico, So you know somehow there was contact 590 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: between someone and Politico, and I just I find it 591 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 1: impossible to believe that they can't figure out who's responsible. Now, 592 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: they did say preponderance of the evidence, which is also 593 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: interesting for lawyers out there because it's not beyond a 594 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: reasonable doubt. They say they can't even find more likely 595 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: than not somebody a basic majority standard or likely in 596 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: the standard. Right, it's fifty one percent of the evidence, 597 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: so to speak, is a preponderance. And look, it was 598 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: a LIB judge employee. There are only three Lib judges 599 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: on the court. Okay, we all know who they are, 600 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: So how many people work for them? Did they polygraph 601 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know, but I know some people. 602 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: I can make some calls. We could get to the 603 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: bottom of. I mean, my thing on this is, I 604 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: think it's highly unlikely to be someone who's a long 605 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: time court employee because they would understand better than most 606 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: the full scope of breaking this. So I think you're right. 607 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: I think it was a clerk I think there are 608 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: only four clerks who are left wings, so that you're 609 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: narrowing it down to like twelve basically. And these guys 610 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: for people out there who don't know, Supreme Court clerks 611 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: only serve one term, so they're there for one year. 612 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: And I just the idea that you can't figure out 613 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: who did it, I just don't. I just don't buy into. 614 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: I think if you had a real significant investigation, you 615 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: could uncover this. I think the machine I understand what's 616 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: being reported at all. They turned, you know, no stone unturned, 617 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: and they did everything that they could. I think that 618 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: there were decisions made in here. Well let's not get 619 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: to let's not get too worked up about this. Let's 620 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: let's let this one pass. That's that's what I believe. 621 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, people can disagree with me, but I think 622 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: if they really wanted to find out, they could have 623 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: found out. But I don't think they really wanted to know, 624 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: because that would be a problem, that would be an 625 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 1: issue for the court if you find out that one 626 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: side of the ideological spectrum has people who will sabotage 627 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: the Court's functioning in order to remember why they did it, 628 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: to try to change the decision now or worse than that. Arguably, 629 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: not only were they trying to change the decision buck, 630 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: they were comfortable with putting targets on every judge that 631 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: was going to be in the majority. Until we talked 632 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: about this a lot on the show, until this was 633 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 1: a published opinion, any assassination of which there was an attempt, Remember, 634 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: somebody had to kill Brett Kavanaugh. It's just like, oh, 635 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 1: that didn't even happen. This was and gave direct cover 636 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: to crazy people out there because until the opinions were released, 637 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: it's fair game. It doesn't become law until it's a release. 638 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: So if you killed someone and Biden had got into 639 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,439 Speaker 1: a point of new injustice, this wouldn't have become law. 640 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: It was the most grotesque violation of the Supreme Court's 641 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: proceedings in our lifetime. And it was done by a 642 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: lib who definitely voted for Biden and will definitely vote 643 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: for Biden again. Just gonna put that out there. It's 644 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: inexcusable they didn't catch them. Inexcusable
