Speaker 1: Whoa, Welcome back to Clay and Buck. Is this for real? Guys?

Speaker 1: We have a caller who's in Greenland who listens to

00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,520

00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: and we'll see how he does.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Christopher, you say you are calling us from Greenland.

Speaker 3: Yes, sir, from the town of Thesa.

00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: I think he's legit. Okay, sorry?

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: What's your background? How did you come to find the show?

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: Let's start there. And how often do you listen?

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Oh?

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm started listening to my father started listening a

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: few years ago, and then I fell in love with

22
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: the show and started listening a couple of times a week.

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: When I have tied well.

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Can we say we have fallen in love with you?

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Mister Greenland. This is amazing. We didn't know he had

26
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: any listening, right, So tell us about the culture of Greenland.

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: I was just asking you this amazing. But he wants

28
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: to tell us that he thinks the Trump thing is

29
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: a great is actually great, and that people are tired

30
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: of Denmark's socialist garbage. What's good? Tell us about this?

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: Well, a few weeks ago our Prime Minister of Greenland

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: he went to Denmark and he accuse Denmark of genoside.

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of coruption with the Danish Danish government,

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: and we can't people in green They cannot sell a

35
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: fish they have, they have to sell it. They have

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: to get Danish poker who can sell her fish overseas.

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: So there's a lot there's a lot of coruptions things

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: like that in the government here, that people are fed

39
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: up with Denmark.

40
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this.

41
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: If and obviously there are fifty five thousand people according

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: to Buck that live in Greenland. If people were voting

43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: your analysis as a resident, and they were given the choice,

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: you can be a territory of the United States or

45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: a territory of Denmark, how do you think the people

46
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: of Greenland would vote if they were given a.

47
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Choice, I think most of them would go to America.

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: Vote for America. But there is also a lot of

49
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 3: people who married to Dan Danish men or Danish women,

50
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: so there is a big still a lot of people

51
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: love Denmark, know a lot of people up with Denmark,

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 3: so I don't know, but I do think most of

53
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: them would go towards America.

54
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: Well, please spread the word about playing buck in Greenland

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: and it'll help in this process as well of making

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: them even more fond of making Greenland great again. Thank

57
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: you so much, Christopher from Greenland. Man, that's a great dude.

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead.

59
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: Is there any way you guy can get me in

60
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: contact with Donald Trump Junior. I know it's a big thing,

61
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: but I've been trying to get get into contact with him.

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: I'm trying to come him a cup here to lose

63
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: that we're about two or a miles north of nukes.

64
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Well, he listens to the show sometimes, so at least

65
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: that way you'll probably get to him and give the

66
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: producers your email and we'll see can keep in touch

67
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: with you as this green light thing moves along. Thanks

68
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: for calling in, Chris for appreciate you appreciate you listening

69
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: very much. That's great, dude. You know, we do have

70
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: our our overseas contingents far and wide for this show,

71
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: not including Canada, which is America, Junior. Let's be honest,

72
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: not that we're gonna make you the fifty first state Canada.

73
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: Too many Libs. We love you, but too many Libs.

74
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: But we have military bases all of the world, so

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: we get a lot of you know all we can

76
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: look on a map. We can see South Korea, Germany,

77
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: We've got people listening there, of course, and a lot

78
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: of other bases. But Clay, this is what Trump said.

79
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Let's start with this. This is the press conference. He

80
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: spoke for an hour off the cuff, covered a lot

81
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: of stuff. I found the stuff you discussed about energy

82
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: and the just idiotic last minute Biden energy stuff that

83
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: he's doing, including trying to rope off all off like

84
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand acres offshore drilling. We'll get to that

85
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: in a second, but first on the issue of Greenland

86
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: and the Panama Canal. This is how we started going.

87
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: This is cut twenty five. This is during the it.

88
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: Can you assure the world that as you try to

89
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: get control of these areas.

90
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: You are not going to use military or economic coercion.

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 5: No, can you tell us a little bit about what

92
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: your plan is.

93
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: Are you going to negotiate a new treaty? Are you

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: going to ask the Canadians to hold the vote? What

95
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: is the strategy? I can't assure you. You're talking about

96
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 4: Panama and Greenland. No, I can't assure you either of

97
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: those two. But I can say this, we need them

98
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: for economic security. The Panama Canal was built for a

99
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: military I'm not going to commit to that now. It

100
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: might be that you'll have to do something. Look, the

101
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 4: Panama Canal is vital to our country. It's being operated

102
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: by China. China, and we gave the Panama Canal to Panama.

103
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: We didn't give it to China, and they've abused it.

104
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: They've abused that gift that should have never been made.

105
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: By the way, giving the Panama Canal is why Jimmy

106
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: Carter lost the election.

107
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: In my opinion, play they were starting to freak out.

108
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: You heard what he said there. He's like, look, I'm

109
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: not ruling anything out. Panama Canal is important.

110
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: But then he went on, look, I mean this is

111
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: what Trump does, and I don't.

112
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like you need.

113
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: A rational Trump translator. You never rule out anything. Why

114
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: would you rule out anything if you are the president

115
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: of the United States? Like his point is, China has

116
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: tried to exert increasing influence in many different foreign countries

117
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: around the world. And if you believe it wasn't how

118
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: long ago was it buck three years ago that the

119
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: Panama Canal was basically shut down because they had a

120
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: ship turned sideways and we had a major supply chain

121
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: crisis all over the world. Partly as a result, he

122
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: had all the shipping stacked up on the West coast.

123
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: We just had a strike on the East coast. I

124
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: don't understand why you would rule out anything that might

125
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: be necessary to ensure the free flow of goods in

126
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: America's ability to compete, in particular our sphere of influence.

127
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: And look, we just had the team looking it up.

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: Nineteen forty seven was the last time the United States

129
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: added territory.

130
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: What for it basically hit all of history. This was

131
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: whether they die or you can't leave us.

132
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: I have according to our crack research staff, we added

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: some islands in the Pacific that were intended to provide

134
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: that were intended to provide more security in the Pacific,

135
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: in the Pacific region. And let me make sure that

136
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: I get this correct from our team, and now I

137
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: can't find it.

138
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: When do we add Guam? Good question? Good question? Eighteen

139
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: ninety eight. Yeah, that's Spanish American war. I mean, I

140
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: knew it was pretty recent, not quite nineteen forties. Reason

141
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety eight, we and then the Guam Organic Act

142
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: of nineteen fifty conferred US citizenship on Guamanians and established

143
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: the territory's government. So yeah, later on was when they

144
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: kind of made it more official. But we've had the islands.

145
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: In eighteen nine, nineteen forty seven, Buck we added Pacific

146
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Islands the last time inhabit they might have been uninhabited islands.

147
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: And whenever we talked like this, people say, well, we

148
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: added Alaska, And yeah, I know, I'm talking about those

149
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: territories had existed for a while. Seward bought Alaska in

150
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: the eighteen sixties. It didn't become a state for almost

151
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: one hundred years. But and I mentioned that I lived

152
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: in the US Virgin Islands, so I actually am as

153
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: people go, somewhat very familiar with territorial law. I used

154
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: to have to work in it, which is actually a

155
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: very fascinating aspect of United States law because you're not actually,

156
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 2: like when I lived in the US Virgin Islands, Virgin

157
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: Islanders are not allowed to vote for president, so you

158
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: have like a weird sort of citizenship aspect associated with

159
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: living in a place like that.

160
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you could argue very convincingly that

161
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: some of the most important decisions ever made by any

162
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: presidential administration ever, you know, going up to the time

163
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: when we decided to be our own country and Washington

164
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: is trying to keep the army together and would be

165
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: land purchases. Yes, I mean, I think there's a strong

166
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: case we made that the Louisiana Louisiana purchase Louisiana Territory

167
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: from France, the purchase of it in eighteen oh three

168
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: by Jefferson might have been well, no, it was, I

169
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: mean the most consequential, important thing that Jefferson did for

170
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the country, right. I mean you could say, yeah, his

171
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: hand in writing the founding documents too, But if you're

172
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: talking about a decision an action in office, I mean,

173
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: what could be bigger than I mean, it was, like

174
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: them probably the most amazing land deal anyone ever did

175
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: in the history of the world. Yes, and we talked

176
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: about that.

177
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: I mean, then you had the Mexican War and the

178
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,479
Speaker 2: and the addition of all the land in the Southwest.

179
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: So the point here, if you're asking, Okay, why is

180
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: this suddenly a topic, it's because the Arctic is becoming

181
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: more open for shipping and Greenland is seen as a

182
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: major point of transit where you're going to need to

183
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: be able to resupply many different ships. And whether or

184
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: not you have free ingress and egress to Greenland could

185
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: be incredibly important when it comes to economic interest going forward,

186
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: not to mention, and this is why Alaska ended up

187
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: being such a brilliant purchase by Seward. He didn't know

188
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: it at the time. Maybe there were brilliant geologists out

189
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: there who were whispering in his.

190
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Ear some of this.

191
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: But the amount of natural resources that could be embedded,

192
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: as you mentioned in Greenland, not only in the country,

193
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: but also offshore, which is a big thing about what

194
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: Biden is doing now. Who has the right to drill

195
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: and take natural resources off the coast of many different

196
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: countries around the world. There is the expectation that there

197
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: are massive amounts of oil and energy related assets that

198
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: are going to be uncovered as there are more melting

199
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: that occurs in that polarized ca A region. So it

200
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: could be the case that Greenland is just completely a

201
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: wash in natural resources which would otherwise not be taken

202
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: advantage of by a country like Denmark. And it's also

203
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: funny when one of these countries is a territory of

204
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: another European country and people say, oh, well, what in

205
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: the world would you be thinking of? Why couldn't Greenland

206
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: be a territory of the United States, just like it's

207
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: a territory of Denmark, Which is why I was just

208
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: asking our caller how would people vote the fifty five

209
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: thousand people who live there. Would they rather be a

210
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: part of the United States under the auspices of our

211
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: protection and its natural rights as citizens who live in

212
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: a territory, or would they rather be under Denmark. I mean,

213
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what the odds are, what the data says,

214
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: but I think it's very fascinating that Donald Trump Junior

215
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: is on the ground right now.

216
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Could you imagine the electioneering, first of all, with fifty

217
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: five thousand people. I don't even know what the media

218
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: market is like in Nuke, which is the capital. But

219
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: this is like an election in a small town. For

220
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the the acreage of Greenland. Just to give

221
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: everybody a sense of it, I think on the it's

222
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: eight hundred and thirty six thousand square miles. Okay, it's

223
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: absolutely vast. It would be like a big piece of

224
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: It's essentially like the entire Midwest of the United States

225
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: if you were to put it out on it. So

226
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: it's like we'd be adding the entirety of the mid Now.

227
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: A lot of it is under ice. It is not

228
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: pleasant any month of the year really in some of

229
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: the especially as you get up north. Do I think

230
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: this is going to happen? No, is an interesting idea?

231
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Is it worth maybe pursuing em? You know, maybe why not,

232
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: as long as it doesn't distract.

233
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: From It's super interesting to me Bock just about the

234
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: idea of what Trump is looking for. This is not

235
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: a four year move. This is a four hundred year move, right,

236
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: Like the decision to make a move like this is

237
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: not predicate on Hey, this is going to pay off

238
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: in the short term. Again, I mean, I think Russia

239
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: the Alaska purchase is super interesting in this respect. Remember

240
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: it was called sewer folly. People ridiculed him for the choice.

241
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: It's now one of the most brilliant acquisitions that anybody

242
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: could have possibly made.

243
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would make look if he could

244
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: pull it off, it would be absolutely brilliant. And I

245
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: just think it's outside the box thinking to do things

246
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: that would benefit the United States and its people is

247
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: just is appreciated, especially in light of the absolutely insane

248
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: stuff that Biden is doing. I mean, I'm sure you

249
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: talked about clave when I was out the presidential Metal

250
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: Freedom for George Soros. Yeah, you know, that's just a

251
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: that's a symbolic thing, but it's it's just gross and

252
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: even beyond that, you know, forget about sources political activities,

253
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: but he's what he's done as a speculator and currency

254
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: around the world. I mean, it's this devastated developing economy.

255
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: It's a horrible person. He's a terrible human being. But

256
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: the fact that they're trying to take all this acreage

257
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: off of production for oil offseas offshore is crazy and

258
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: it's just spiteful from Biden. We'll get some of your calls.

259
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: We have any other Greenland callers, that'd be kind of fun.

260
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: I think I might be asking for too much with

261
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: that one, but I'm totally blown away. I mean, it's

262
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: pretty awesome that we just had. There is a chance

263
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: just to prepare you. I'm gonna keep talking as long

264
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: as I can, but we're heading toward My voice actually

265
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: made just completely quit during the show. So the good

266
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: news is, Clay, we'll just take it from there. But

267
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: it's getting harder and harder to talk. The team at

268
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: the preborn clinics across our nation remain one hundred percent committed.

269
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no, Clay, this is you. This is what happens.

270
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm sick. You've got this read pardon. We'll talk about

271
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: preborn later.

272
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: Rapid Radios makes a tremendous difference. I mentioned that Buck's

273
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: sister in law was in western North Carolina when all

274
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: the communication devices were down, and it was incredible that

275
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: his family was able to stay in touch with her

276
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: make sure she was okay, when otherwise they wouldn't have

277

Speaker 2: trip to Spain. I'm still interested to hear how that

313
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: all went. We'll discuss that a bit. We got major

314
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: breaking news that came out this morning associated with Facebook,

315
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: the censorship industrial complex, and the overall impact that that created.

316
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,359
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a moment, but first.

317
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: We're both right in the Great Canal Debate of twenty

318
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: twenty five. In twenty twenty one, the Suez Canal was

319
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: blocked by a ship. So the crew was right about

320
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: the Suez Canal. And interestingly it was actually a Panamanian

321
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: based ship that blocked the Suez Canal. But what I

322
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: was thinking about was twenty twenty three. Last year, two

323
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: hundred ships got backed up as a part of the

324
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: overall supply chain crisis in the Panama Canal. We're discussing

325
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: this because much of Trump's discussion surrounding the Panama Canal

326
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: Greenland has been predicated on world trade and who has

327
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: the ability to control control in some way the ingress

328
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: and egress of ships around the world for purposes of commerce.

329
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Now for purposes of commerce. They're also and fact checking

330
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: is a major discussion point out there about Facebook and

331
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: buck In March of twenty twenty one, I went and

332
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: testified in front of COMNGRIS. Our friend Jim Jordan invited

333
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: me to come, and I went under oath and testified

334
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: as an expert about the impact of Facebook and what

335
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: happened when Facebook basically decided, hey, we don't like your

336
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: organization anymore. Overnight, our Facebook traffic basically vanished. And many

337
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: different media outlets that have been on quote the wrong

338
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: side of the stories that Facebook wanted to propagate have

339
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: dealt with this impact. In particular, we were too favorable

340
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: about Donald Trump, and we were too aggressive in covering

341
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: whether schools should open back up, whether masks worked, where

342
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: COVID came from at OutKick, and as a result, Facebook

343
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: basically shut down traffic to our site and that had

344
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: a major impact. And let me just point this out

345
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: in Buck, because I think it's super important. Four years

346
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: ago in concert, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, Snapchat, Instagram, Shopify, Reddit, Twitch, TikTok,

347
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: and Pinterist all banned Donald Trump from being able to

348
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: have an account on their social networks.

349
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: In Unison, Pinterest, I just that was I mean, I

350
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: don't know, probably can't put out his favorite his favorite

351
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: recipes or his favorite way of making sprinkles for cookies,

352
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: no doubt.

353
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: And if Donald Trump had wanted to get in the

354
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: oven mit business, Pinterist was just completely killing his oven

355
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: mit game. This was scary and it was crazy, and Buck,

356
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: you've talked about this. Not only did they do that,

357
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: they actually used Amazon to legitimately take sites off the

358
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: Internet that we're using. A lot of people don't realize this,

359
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: maybe some of you do. Amazon web hosting is one

360
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: of the biggest businesses they do. If somewhere won't host

361
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: your website, they basically just make you not exist. And

362
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: this is what they did back in the day to

363
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: what was my site.

364
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: They did it to a parlor, yeah, which was a

365
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: free speech a free speech site, and no, this was scared.

366
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: This was the beginning of the of the true online

367
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: to atalitarianism that we had to live through. I mean

368
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: it was this, It was COVID, it was the election,

369
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: you know, election stuff. So it was frightening how this

370
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: just worked all in Unison McLay I was looking up

371
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: I just found this. There was a PolitiFact on me.

372
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: Remember I was saying this before, and this was from

373
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: a Facebook post. And here's what I said in February

374
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. The science says open the schools,

375
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: stop wearing masks outside. I should have just said stop

376
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: wearing masks, but stop wearing masks outside and everyone at

377
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: low risk should start living normal lives. And they fact

378
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: checked this and said the whole thing was was wrong.

379
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: It's all uh, masks outside. I mean we knew that

380
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: from the very beginning that that was always moronic. I mean,

381
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: no one was getting COVID outdoors. That never happened. It

382
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: was all absurd. I mean, it was they never I mean,

383
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, like lightning strike, maybe it could happen, but

384
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: it was it was madness. So everything that they fact

385
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: checked me on they were I mean, they were wrong.

386
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: And they did this over and over again. By the

387
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: way that it's not like they just fact checked me, Clay.

388
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: They shut down my Facebook account. Yeah, based on that.

389
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: So I said, hey, guys, look at the look at

390
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: the numbers masks outdoors makes no sense. Oh no, that's

391
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: a lie. You're off Facebook now. This is what they

392
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: were doing to pee. And they did this. I know

393
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: it's it's not like woe is me. I always hated Facebook.

394
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: It's not something I use very much. But they did

395
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: this to so many people. And what you realize was

396
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: that they were they were not only unrepentant about the

397
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: whole thing, they liked the fact that they could do

398
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: it to pee well, even when what they were fact show,

399
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: even when they were pushing lies. Right, that's the real power.

400
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: The real power isn't to stop other people from lying.

401
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: The real powers to make other people lie or to

402
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: prevent other people from speaking the truth.

403
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: And that's got one. I've got one for you that

404
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: I testified about.

405
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: Buck. You'll appreciate this.

406
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: We had doctor Marty McCarey on this show quite a lot,

407
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: and he's now going to be the head of the CDC,

408
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: I think, which is an amazing congratulations doctor McCarey. It's

409
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: a great appointment. Appointment by Donald Trump. We wrote an

410
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: article at OutKick in March of twenty twenty one, and

411
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: it said it was Marty McCarey saying herd immunity will

412
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 2: be here by April. This was doctor Martin McCarey, an

413
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: editorial at the Wall Street Journal. We wrote about that

414
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: on OutKick, and Facebook told us that we were guilty

415
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: of the headline was misinformation violations, and they said we

416
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: could not share the opinion piece of doctor McCarey on

417
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: our Facebook account, and as a result, they banned the

418
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: sharing of OutKick stories for a set period of time

419
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: with no ability to in any way appeal there.

420
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: We shared an opinion piece from a doctor and and

421
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: just understand this, for those of you who have never

422
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: been in the yeah, you know, the media business, I

423
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: mean to be operating in this world. I mean, Clay

424
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: knows about this very well. But I started out working

425
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: at The Blaze. I was a website writer for Glenn

426
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: beck Att The Blaze. That was my first media job.

427
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: That was back in twenty eleven. Gosh, I can getting old, Clay,

428
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: uh So, I very much lived in that world too.

429
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: Facebook was for a lot of a lot of big websites.

430
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: What would you say, Clay, thirty forty percent of traffic

431
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: was Facebook derived, sometimes higher depending on the hiring on

432
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: the side. Yeah, in the day. I mean huge amounts.

433
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: So I mean imagine, you know, if you're running a

434
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: hardware store and forty percent of your customers disappear forever,

435
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: You're not going to be in business very long, right,

436
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean if you're used to a certain customer base

437
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: and forty percent of them are gone. Certainly true of

438
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: a online journalism or you know, news media entity as well.

439
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: So Facebook was able to kill off a lot of

440
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: conservative sites and a lot of traffic. And I mean

441
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: the damage, and I don't want to lose sight of this,

442
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: the damage that Zuckerberg whom you know, yeah, he's coming

443
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: around on. Can I just also put something out here

444
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: for a second. We need to stop worshiping people who

445
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: have been conservative for like five minutes or not even conservative,

446
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: who have stopped being crazy. You know, we can welcome

447
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: them into the ten without thinking they're the Messiah. You

448
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. This is a different thing. I mean,

449
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: I have noticed this trend on the right recently of oh,

450
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: someone has said a couple of the right things in

451
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: the last year, so now we love them forever. Some

452
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: of us have been saying the right thing for many years,

453
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: some cases many decades. Okay, so if you're looking for

454
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: like long term wisdom, I wouldn't all of a sudden

455
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I don't know Russell brand is

456
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: he is he a great guy? Now? I have no idea,

457
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: but I think it's funny that people are like, oh

458
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, he's so conservative. I'm like, can we give

459
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: it a year, Like, let's just see how it goes first.

460
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of these people that I

461
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: would put in this category. And Mark Zuckerberg it just

462
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: makes me think of this clay because Okay, so he's

463
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: no longer actively subverting with Zuckerbucks going to Democrat causes

464
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: and massively undermining conservative message. You know, he's no longer

465
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: a huge, you know, enemy of free speech the same

466
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: way he was. But let's see what he does, do

467
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, it's one thing to

468
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: see this as good. It's another thing to think think, oh,

469
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: like the war is won, or oh yay, we can

470
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: trust this guy now. I'm still a little skeptical. Do

471
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: you see what I mean? Yeah, No, I mean I

472
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: totally get it. And this is what my wife said.

473
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: And we'll play these audio clips for you maybe when

474
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 2: we come back in a sec because I want to

475
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: really kind of dive into it. But there is no

476
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: recognition by and large of the people who were so

477
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: dramatically wrong on all of this that they were dramatically wrong.

478
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: And I would say that some form the twenty twenty

479
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 2: four election is a referendum on how wrong many people

480
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: in the legacy media were. But all those people who

481
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: lectured us that we were going to be on the

482
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: wrong side of history if we voted for Trump, or

483
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: we were on the wrong side of history because we

484
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: weren't standing with our backs on the elevator with masks on,

485
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: or sitting in circles in parks, they just kind of vanished.

486
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: They never really admitted by and large, hey, we were

487
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: wrong about everything. Zuckerberg's statement, which we're going to play

488
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: for you, will play one cut of it right here,

489
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: and then we'll play the other one for you coming back,

490
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: really is an endorsement of much of what we've said

491
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: on this program for the last four years. Zuckerberg admits

492
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: that the government was artificially putting pressure on him to

493
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: curtail your and mine and everyone out there's free speech rights.

494
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 2: The government cannot use a third party to do what

495
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: it itself would otherwise not be constitutionally able to do.

496
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 2: That's what they did, and that's what we've been telling

497
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: you that they did. Listen to Cut three, This is

498
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg saying it's gone too far.

499
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 5: First, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and

500
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 5: replace them with community notes similar to X. Starting in

501
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 5: the US, after Trump first got elected in twenty sixteen,

502
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 5: the legacy media wrote NonStop about how misinformation was a

503
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 5: threat to democracy. We tried in good faith to address

504
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 5: those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the

505
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 5: fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have

506
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 5: destroyed more trusts than they've created, especially in the US.

507
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 5: So over the next couple of months, we're going to

508
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 5: phase in a more comprehensive community notes system.

509
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: Okay, this is huge, buck, and we'll talk about all

510
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: the consequences of this. Will unpack basically Sockerberg statement will

511
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: play a bit more of it for you going forward.

512
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: But this is a seismic victory for those of us

513
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: who believe in a crazy idea. We should all be

514
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: able to argue and debate what we think the right

515
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: direction for the country is on every subject.

516
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: It's certainly moving in the right direction, which is something

517
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: to be happy about for now, or be encouraged by

518
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: maybe a better way of putting it, you know. The

519
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: team at the Preborn clinics across our nation remain one

520
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent committed to saving the lives of unborn children.

521
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: Each location is purposely located in a community where abortion

522
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: rates are high, and that's on purpose. Preborn offers the alternative,

523
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: and that's life for that unborn child. Their goal is

524
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: to provide pregnant women considering an abortion a better idea

525
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: to bring their child into this world with the support

526
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 1: they need. One of the many ways they do that

527
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: is by providing an ultrasound experience. So often, when a

528
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: woman meets her unborn baby via ultrasound, seeing the movements

529
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: within her hearing the heartbeat makes all the difference. The

530
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: undeniable emotional connection often leads to the decision for life,

531
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: which is the decision we often, I mean, we always

532
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: want to see for just twenty eight dollars, you can

533
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: help save the life of an unborn child. One hundred

Speaker 1: percent of your donation goes to Saving Lives. To donate,

535
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's

Speaker 1: pound two five zero say the keyword baby. Or go

00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,600

542
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: Welcome back in play Travis buck Sexton Show. We're talking

543
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: about all the different moving parts out there. The biggest

544
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: news of the day so far that Facebook has ended

545
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: its fact checking. Let me hit you with a couple

546
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: of more details about this decision.

547
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: Buck.

548
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: We've talked about how it's impacted us, how it's impacted

549
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: businesses out there. They're also moving the so called fact

550
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: checking rubric, which will now be similar to what Twitter

551
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: did with community notes. They're moving it to Texas from California.

552
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: That is, all of the employees involved there will be

553
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: in Texas now. That I think is also significant because

554
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: it basically means this will be occurring under the auspices

555
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: of Texas law, which is more protective of free speech

556
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: rights than California law would be. So if Facebook is

557
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 2: sued over the way that they implement this, you would

558
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: have a more favorable jurisdiction in Texas by and large

559
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: compared to elsewhere in California, for instance. But again, this

560
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: is very significant. It's a direct result of Trump winning.

561
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: So if you are out there and you're saying, would

562
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: this have happened if Kamala Harris had won the election,

563
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: I think the answer is no. Remember, Zuckerberg has been

564
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: to dinner with Trump at mar A Lago. He has

565
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: pledged on behalf of Facebook a million dollars for the inauguration.

566
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: He has described Trump's response to the assassination as badass.

567
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: I am told that the relationship between Trump and Zuckerberg

568
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: on a personal level has become much better. And Zuckerberg

569
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: now says he's going to work with Donald Trump to

570
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: fight the censorship industrial complex. This was a part of

571
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: the statement that he released. Me also reminds you they

572
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: now have a Republican, former Republican staffer in charge of

573
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: all their government affairs, and you know where they announced

574
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: this new policy. Buck on Fox News this morning on

575
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: Fox and Friends, probably with the idea being that President Trump,

576
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: who watches Fox News all the time, was likely to

577
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: have been watching. But here is Mark Zuckerberg cut forward

578
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: talking about working with Trump going forward.

579
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 5: We're gonna work with President Trump to push back on

580
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 5: governments around the world. They're going after American companies and

581
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 5: pushing to censor more. Europe has an ever increasing number

582
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 5: of laws institutionalizing censorship and making it difficult to build

583
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 5: anything innovative there. Latin American countries have secret courts that

584
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 5: can order companies to quietly take things down.

585
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: China has sensored of apps.

586
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 5: From even working in the country. The only way that

587
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 5: we can push back on this global trend is with

588
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 5: the support of the US government. And that's why it's

589
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 5: been so difficult over the past four years. When even

590
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 5: the US government has pushed for censorship by going after

591
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 5: US and other American companies, it has emboldened other governments

592
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 5: to go even.

593
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: Further block We were right about everything. Trump was right

594
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: about everything, and this is as close to an acknowledgment

595
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: that he was wrong about the way that Facebook handled

596
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: censorship as you're ever going to see from Mark Zuckerberg. Now,

597
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: my wife and I've bet a lot of you out

598
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: there are still angry about this, and you want more

599
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: of a of a final resolution maybe than what you've gotten,

600
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 2: more consequences. But I think this is about as good

601
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 2: as you're going to get from an American CEO.

602
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I also think though it's fair to point out that, yeah,

603
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, now he's all about free speech and free

604
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: expression after getting it wrong, and when the political wins

605
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: favor it. I mean, there's a lot of there's a

606
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: lot of advantage right now with the incoming Trump administration

607
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: to take this position. I'm just saying, I don't think

608
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: that what Mark Zuckerber's doing. Mark Zuckerberg is doing here

609
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: is in any way brave or even rooted in principle.

610
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: I think that it is somewhat cunning and political, as in,

611
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: he understands that this is in the interest of Facebook

612
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: right now, and so he's doing it. You know, he

613
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: has gone through some changes recently. You know, he does

614
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of dress like a guy in a nineties movie

615
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: who would be like selling ecstasy outside of a nightclub

616
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: now or something. I mean, you know, he's changed up

617
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: a lot. He's a little different than he used to be,

618
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: does a little bit of jiu jitsu, you know, a

619
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: little more of a bro than he used to be.

620
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: So maybe he is truly a little bit more right wing.

621
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: And I will also say this, I don't ever want

622
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: to discount that I think people have learned the left

623
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: became very, very assertive and very powerful as a result

624
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: of COVID in a way, as particularly online, in a

625
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: way that I think allowed them to show us their

626
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: absolute worst impulses and the worst side of who they

627
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: are as people and who they are ideologically. And I

628
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: think it scared a lot of folks. And I think

629
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: more than that, the results for the country were disastrous.

630
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: The results of the increased power and assertiveness of the

631
00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: left online and in real life were horrific and and

632
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: just took us into the land of crazy town. And

633
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: so the pushback to that is in earnest right. So

634
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people who have

635
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: been red pilled truly because of what has happened. I

636
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: totally see that, you know, I think Mark Zuckerberg, we

637
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: just got to take it a little bit step by step. Here,

638
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: We'll see. I mean, I haven't forgotten all the times

639
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: when I was trying to get the word out about

640
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: what was true, you know, sharing Bearnson articles, Alex Parentson articles,

641
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: things like that on Facebook, and just it was maddening.

642
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: You get these like strikes, you get these shutdowns and

643
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and you could say the most insane

644
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: stuff that the Democrats approve of, and you would never

645
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: get anything. And it was a very you know Orwellian

646
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four existence that we all had then at

647
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: a time when it really mattered and it really counted. So,

648
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, COVID was the stress test, and social media

649
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: absolutely failed us. We need to change the structures now

650
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: such that that will never happen again.

651
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: And remember, all we're trying to do is just say

652
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: you should be able to debate topics freely without people

653
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: parachuting in and deciding to become arbiters of what's true

654
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: or false. That the line between fact and opinion is

655
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,479
Speaker 2: one of the most difficult lines I think for any

656
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: media company to try to finesse, because what we should

657
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: have is a very strict understanding of what fact is.

658
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: For instance, if Buck, if I came on today and

659
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: I said, hey, you know what I think water actually

660
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 2: freezes at thirty five degrees. You might sit there and

661
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: listen and be like, Okay, but you're wrong. Water freezes

662
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: at thirty two degrees. If I came on with you

663
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, based on looking at this forecast,

664
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: Texas is going to get slammed. I think if I

665
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: had some meteorological meteorological knowledge, for sure, I think that

666
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: it's actually going to be colder than people expect, and

667
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: they're going to get way more snow than what the

668
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: forecast are forecasting.

669
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: That's an opinion, right, So, and I.

670
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: Use that because a lot of this fact checking was

671
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: fact checking opinion and actually saying your opinion is wrong,

672
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: for instance. And this is one that I think is

673
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 2: so key. Where did COVID come from? We still don't know.

674
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 2: I think one reason we don't officially know is because

675
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 2: they curtailed our ability to actually examine that in the

676
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: immediate aftermath of COVID. Right, I think the evidence supports

677
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: that COVID came from a Chinese lab. Some of you

678
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: may disagree and believe that it was zoonotic in origin,

679
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: that is, animal based in origin, but the fact that

680
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: we weren't able to actually have that debate actually contributed

681
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: to our inability to determine the real truth, and the

682
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: entire fabric of a Democrat republic is we should all

683
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: be able to thoroughly argue our own opinions and get

684
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: the best results.

685
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: To the other thing though, And this is what I

686
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: think was so so totalitarian about what happened at Facebook

687
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: and Twitter. Let me just say, I know some of

688
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: you aren't very active. A lot of you aren't very

689
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: active on social media, and by the way, it probably

690
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: makes your lives better. So congratulations, and I mean that.

691
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: But I don't think Donald Trump loses. Don't tell me, oh,

692
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: but he won, you know what I mean. I don't

693
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: think Joe Biden ever becomes president without the social media

694
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: censorship and deeplatforming and hiding Hunter laptop story, et cetera

695
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: that occurred. Okay, so I think that Donald Trump would

696
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: be ending his second term right now. So in a sense,

697
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: maybe you're kind of like, well, at least be at

698
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: four years of Trump now. Fine, But I think that

699
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: without that they wouldn't have been able to pull off

700
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: what they did in twenty twenty, all other things being equal,

701
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: I think that that was a deciding factor and really

702
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: a form of cheating a form of, you know, weighing

703
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: the scales down artificially in favor of Biden. So that's

704
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: a major part of this. But Clay also we're talking

705
00:37:55,239 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: about what they they're fact checking was things that they

706
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: said were untrue that were true, and things that they

707
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: insisted were true were clearly untrue. I mean, remember that

708
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: Elon decided that he had to buy and again, apologies

709
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: for my voice, folks keeps getting worse. Elon decided that

710
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: he had to buy Twitter basically because of a joke

711
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: the Babylon be made about a man costuming as a

712
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: woman who was getting the like who they gave the

713
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: Man of the Year award too, because he had received

714
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: the Woman of the Year award. And so the Facebook

715
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: censorship regime was such that you had to refer to

716
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: a trans woman as a man or a trans man

717
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: as a woman, right, So what I'm saying is it

718
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: was mandatory lies, and mandatory lies is the ultimate power.

719
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: If you can get people to lie at will, you

720
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: can get them to do absolutely anything. So there was

721
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: tremendous harm that Facebook and these other platforms were involved

722
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: and perpetrating, of course, in the name of preventing harmage

723
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: by the way is true of all totalitarians. I mean,

724
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: if you were to sit down with the Kim dynasty

725
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: in North Korea, they have a million different ways of

726
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: telling you what they do is necessary to prevent the

727
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: destruction of their country, and it's all lies.

728
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: I'm just catching up. I hadn't even seen the dollar

729
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: figure I saw you share this. This all ties in

730
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: with how everything is changing with the Trump win. Amazon

731
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: gave forty million dollars for the Milannia Trump documentary.

732
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: Yes, holy cow, that's Michelle Obama kind of money. You

733
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: know what I mean, No, no doubt, no doubt.

734
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: But I mean, to the point we're making about suddenly

735
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: Elon led the Charge, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Tim Cook at Apple,

736
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: a lot of these other executives that are very wealthy

737
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: and very powerful leading to companies in twenty sixteen, There's

738
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: no way they would have signed on for a forty

739
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 2: million dollar Milania Trump documentary. This is the same stuff,

740
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 2: whether you like it or not. To your point that

741
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 2: a Michelle Obama would be getting when she gets a

742
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 2: you know, she writes a book and she gets a

743
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: twenty million dollar advance, or the Obamas have a Netflix

744
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: deal and they're making like, you know, some mediocre movie,

745
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: but they get hundreds of millions of dollars in order

746
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: to invest in that, or even Megan markele who continues

747
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 2: to get tons of money. Netflix, I know has got

748
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: some new Megan markel documentary. But this is a vibe

749
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 2: shift in seismic ways. And I think what Mark Zuckerberg

750
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: is saying publicly is what a lot of tech CEOs

751
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: are feeling privately.

752
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: And I think you have to give a lot of

753
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: credit to.

754
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: Elon because he has charged to up the hill to

755
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: such an extent. He took all the shrapnel, he took

756
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: all the oncoming fire, and it hasn't dented him. And

757
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people, let's be honest, want to be

758
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 2: behind the first wave. They're very they're very comfortable being

759
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 2: in the second or third wave after all of the

760
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: major fighting has already taken place. Look at Zuckerberg saying, Hey,

761
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 2: we're just gonna basically take the community notes program that

762
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: Elon Musk already took put in place and started to

763
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: work through the kink sub at Facebook. Now, this is

764
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: what an election win does, and this is what win

765
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: in the popular vote does, and we should be enjoying it.

766
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: Because it's about as much validation as you're gonna get.

767
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: Good financial research is hard to find, especially the kind

768
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: that can give you consistent intel and insight. But Mark

769
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: Chakin is an individual who's distinguished himself as providing that

770
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: kind of insight, and he delivers it via his company

771
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: Shake and Analytics. Mark's a fifty year Wall Street vet.

772
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: He built an indicator that's in nearly every trading terminal

773
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: to this day and has nearly one million people using

774
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: his tools Right now. However, his systems are signaling a

775
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: big shift in the AI markets. You might choose to

776
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: research whether wealthy individuals and hedge funds are quietly dumping

Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of shares of the world's most popular

778
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: tech stocks. Mark is stepping forward to explain why that's happening.

Speaker 1: Or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back into Clay

788
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: and Buck and my own mind. Trump put on quite

789
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: a show, quite a show today in this press conference.

790
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: I want to take some of your calls here eight

791
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: hundred two A two two eight a two. Also, we

792
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: kicked off the question earlier, and I know a lot

793
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: of the VIPs. Clay, I've already been weighing on this.

794
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: Should I watch Land Man. I'm gonna tell you some

795
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: of you got a little mad at me, at least

796
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter, because I thought that Yellowstone it jumped the shark.

797
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: It was a classic jump the shark. I'm sorry, I'm right.

798
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the show. It was always extremely unrealistic and

799
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: kind of but I really enjoyed it anyway. It was

800
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, super popular or whatever. But the

801
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: but the last season, the Kevin Coster thing, it just

802
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: didn't It didn't get and I don't like the way

803
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: it ended anyway. You can get mad at me, It's fine,

804
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: but be honest with yourself, like the show didn't end

805
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 1: the way it should have. The last season was is

806
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: You're right? It was a mediocre in the at best. Yeah, yeah, media,

807
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was real kind of you know, womp, womp.

808
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't great, but we did. I have

809
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: been hearing from people that Landman is absolutely fantastic, and

810
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: we have we're talking about energy and oil and uh

811
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: there's a speech that our team pulled from that I

812
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: think ties into Trump's attitude today, which is just like, can

813
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: we America is the global global energy superpower? We need

814
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: to remember this. We talked so much about you know,

815
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: oh ai and our information based my without our natural resources,

816
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: none of this is happening, okay. Without the oil and

817
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: natural gas that America produces, our lifestyle, the strength of

818
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: the dollar, all that, we're living in a whole different universe, everybody,

819
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: all right, if we had like some barren landscape that

820
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: didn't have the natural resources that we do, we would

821
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: be in a very very different position. And it's where

822
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: it's it's it's critical to remember that. And the Democrats,

823
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: it's just like it's almost like a civilizational death wish

824
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: that they have, like they want us to be living

825
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: in poverty and misery because we're easier to control or something.

826
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: It's insane. This is the speech from land Man where

827
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: he goes into, yeah, we need oil. Everybody get with

828
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: the program, play it.

829
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 7: We have one hundred and twenty year petroleum based infrastructure.

830
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: Our whole lives depend on it. And hell, it's in

831
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: everything that road we.

832
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 7: Came in on the wheels on ever car every night,

833
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 7: including yours, sent tennis, rackets and lipstick, and refrigerators and

834
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 7: anti histamines, pretty much any thing plastic, your cell phones.

835
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 7: We're gonna run out of it before we find its replacement.

836
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 3: It's the thing that's gonna kill us all as a species.

837
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 7: No, the thing is gonna kill us all is running

838
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 7: out before we find an alternative.

839
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: So Clay, I don't know how much they heard because

840
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: we hadn't f bomb in there.

841
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 2: But this, uh, this show is basically taking you into

842
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 2: the Texas oil field and explaining the significance of everything

843
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: in the oil and gas industry to a lot of

844
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 2: people that otherwise wouldn't see it. And I would say,

845
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 2: this is one thing that Taylor show.

846
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: Is one thing. Half of half of the oil production

847
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: goes into products. That's what people need. We think of

848
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: it so much for what goes into our cars. Half

849
00:45:54,520 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: of petroleum goes into plastics, jelly creams, you know, you

850
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: know all these different things. I mean, there's so much

851
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: and this idea that we're going to replace it with,

852
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, with windmills, you want ai you want electric cars,

853
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: you want all these things. We are so far from

854
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: being able to power that with wind and solar it's laughable.

855
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: And wind and solar and they get into this too,

856
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: requires a whole lot of plastics and chips and things

857
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 1: that require a whole lot of petroleum. It's just this

858
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: is this is where the left is insane. I mean,

859
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: this is where they just don't meet with reality. It's

860
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: a religion for them. We criticize the finale of Yellowstone.

861
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: This is well, I'll come back and give some praise.

862
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 2: Taylor shared in has been a fantastic producer of new

863
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: television shows, and he gets this in that on his

864
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: shows he often will allow a liberal perspective on the environment.

865
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 2: He did this with yellow Stone, where they had the

866
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: uh sort of left wing activist protesting against against ranches

867
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 2: and cattle and the entire Montana industry there. And here

868
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 2: he's got a woman who's out there making and sharing

869
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: left wing arguments. You said something that I think is

870
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: really important, and I try to win this argument in

871
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 2: my house that it doesn't necessarily go that well. Recycling

872
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: is almost one worthless. Whatever we spend on recycling actually

873
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: causes more use of energy to collate the recyclable materials

874
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: than just throwing things away and building things anew very often,

875
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: so the time that you spend going out and putting

876
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 2: your papers in one recyclable bin and your plastics in another,

877
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 2: and all this stuff is almost entirely worthless and doesn't

878
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: make any difference at all for the larger environment.

879
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: I just want to say it. It's the truth. It's

880
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: like no one will talk about it.

881
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 2: And the other thing that this landman thing does a

882
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 2: great job of is everything that is supposed to be

883
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 2: renewable energy, whether it's solar panels, whether it's windmills, all

884
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 2: of it requires more energy than the energy energy that

885
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 2: we have now.

886
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: And this is also hugely important.

887
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: When we don't use American oil and gas, we're actually

888
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 2: having to go and consume the oil and gas which

889
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: is actually less environmentally friendly that's produced by foreign governments

890
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: that often don't support basic human rights.

891
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: So this is you've got a real window into the

892
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: mindset of all this. With the Keystone Excel pipeline and

893
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: with the Keystone Excel pipeline. What you saw was even

894
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: by the Obama administration's own State Department review. The oil's

895
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: coming out of the ground. It's just a question of

896
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: do a pipe it west for the Asian market or

897
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 1: do you pipe it across the US and we get

898
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: benefit from the transit fees and also just from you know,

899
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: secure access to energy that is going to be going

900
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: to a US port. And even though this is the

901
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: key thing, the CO two impact is going to be

902
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: the same either way. We just don't want to sully.

903
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: The Obama administration shuts down the keystonoxil pipeline because they

904
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: don't want to sully their hands with it. That's so

905
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: it's not even about the environment. It's I don't want

906
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: to be involved with the dirty oil stuff. And so

907
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: even though it's not going to change anything, we shouldn't

908
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: benefit from it. Again, it's it's this is like, you know,

909
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: it's like a religious thing. It's like, you know, I

910
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: can't touch this, uh, you know, this form of food

911
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: because I'm told that it's dirty or it's bad. I mean,

912
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: there's no scientific basis for this.

913
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 2: Let me climb out my soapbox again. All the people

914
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 2: that are worried about the environment and recycling and all

915
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: this stuff. They should actually be having kids because the

916
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: real threat to the world going forward is global mass

917
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 2: population collapse. So this is very often what happens with humans.

918
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 2: We get fixated on dangers that aren't actually the dangers

919
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 2: that we should be worried about, and we ignore this

920
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: looming danger that is far more significant, which is and

921
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 2: these people are the number one PI. If you have

922
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 2: convinced yourself that the world is going to end because

923
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 2: of climate change, you're unlikely to have kids, and so

924
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: all these people buck. If you look at the trajectories

925
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: of population over the next eighty years or so, the

926
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 2: global population is going to collapse by about half over

927
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: the next eighty two one hundred years based on the

928
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 2: data that we have right now. That's the real threat

929
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 2: to human civilization. In many of these most advanced countries Italy, Japan,

930
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 2: where they have incredible cultures and civilizations, they're actually collapsing

931
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 2: the fastest. That is, the most advanced civilized societies, which

932
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: have the greatest history, are the ones that are declining

933
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: on the most rapid fashion.

934
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: Also. But look for bringing it back to Biden and

935
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: the executive order in the closing days. I mean, it's

936
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: just so the whole thing's so pathetic to try and

937
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: stop offshore oil from being explored in these areas. You know,

938
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: this is going on, and it goes on all the

939
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: world and it's fine and it's safe. It would be

940
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: like saying we can't have an airline industry because occasionally

941
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: there's an airline crash, and that's effectively what you're doing.

942
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: What is the problem with the offshore drilling. The problem

943
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: with the offshore drilling, they'll tell you is well, there

944
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: can be an there can be an accident. Okay, well

945
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: that's true of a lot of things. And so really

946
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: what it is is they just don't want They don't

947
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: want to do it because they have an ideological aversion

948
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: oil bad. It's like a child. They don't think about

949
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: it beyond that oil bad. Don't do oil. And you

950
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: go a whold on a second, you need oil, we

951
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: all need oil, and they go, yeah, but oil bad,

952
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: No offshore drilling. It's like the mob mentality for people

953
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: who have replaced actual belief in God with belief in

954
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: Mother Earth.

955
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 2: Do you remember the big story which a lot of

956
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: people don't even get of what was producing the electricity

957
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 2: that was going to be funding providing the juice for

958
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 2: so many electric vehicles. In one part, I think it

959
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 2: was Michigan. It was a coal plant, so they were

960
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 2: going to be increasing the amount of coal that they

961
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: were using so that they could provide the electricity to

962
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 2: charge vehicles. And people said, you know, actually, it would

963
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 2: be far more efficient from an economic perspective if we

964
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: just use gas as opposed to using coal to create

965
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:46,959
Speaker 2: electric charging opportunities. So, look, a lot of these people

966
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: don't want to go into the actual details behind it.

967
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. It's actually not a very big threat

968
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 1: for the world. In fact, it's.

969
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's in the top twenty things that

970
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 2: I care about right now. And and I understand that

971
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people have bought into this idea. Oh

972
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 2: my goodness, you know, rising seas, we're going to die. Yeah,

973
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 2: we're not.

974
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: Well, what you touch on is a unique thing about this,

975
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: this the climate climate issue, whatever they however you want

976
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: to talk. Remember, they were calling a climate catastrophe for

977
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: a while. That was what they were trying to say,

978
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: and that doesn't really work for them. And that's after

979
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: they went from global warming to climate changes. We all know, Oh,

980
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: climate disruption. I'm sorry, that's what it was, climate disruption. Usually, Clay,

981
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: we disagree with the others. There's we can agree there's

982
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: a problem, and we disagree about how to fix the problem.

983
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: Like we can agree that there's you know, there's too

984
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: much crime, and we say, well, the criminals are the problems,

985
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system coddling them, and they say no,

986
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: it's guns, and their argument is garbage. But whatever with this,

987
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 1: there's no problem, correct, Like they think there's a problem.

988
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: I don't see a problem at all. And that's why

989
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: it's really hard to even have a conversation with them.

990
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: And then they say like, well, you're bought off by

991
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: big oil, which is delusional, right, because clearly that's not

992
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, that sounds great. I wish, but I'm not.

993
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: I we're happy to do it, but so far we

994
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: haven't been bought up by bigger If Exxon wants to

995
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: start doing live reads, we'll do exon live reies, no problem.

996
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 2: Instead, I'm gonna tell you about prize picks, which we

997
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: are bought off by.

Speaker 2: entire country, one of the biggest in a decade or more.

1004
