Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bold reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast. It starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm sorry, I just I have to for a minute here, everybody,
I have to Okay, somebody just got a big payday,
Clay five million big ones for the Fouch, five million
dollars for little Tony Fauci for his memoir. And by
(00:31):
the way, that is how you pronounce it. If you're
going to be a fauci Ite a memoir, how so.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Many people want to buy? I mean, okay, in the book.
I have a theory bouttery a little bit. What do
you think is going on here? I have a theory
about this.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Anthony Fauci could just put his little face on a
book and have whatever title he wants, and he will
sell at least hundreds of thousands of copies. And he
would sell it even if every single page was blank,
because the purpose of the Fauci book is like the
(01:05):
purpose of still Masking, which is to show where everybody
how smart and sciency and liberal you are. So this
is a this is the ultimate Libby Coffee Ta Social
Justice fundry book per set. Can I tell you something
you know? I've I've looked at looked at houses with Carrie,
you know, just a little little house, shopping, looking around
(01:25):
and seeing things. And she always laughs because I'm always
just curious. I always want to take a look at
the books. Oh yeah, because I know right away. I
always can tell right away. Well wait, know not that.
I mean, I live in a house that Libs had
sold to me. It doesn't really matter, but I just
think it's kind of funny. I can tell who the
person is, and then with Instagram you could figure it
out right away too. And I'm never wrong, But I
(01:46):
can look at the books in someone's home and I
basically know who I'm dealing with.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Even with that, and I do think you're right. I
think that the Fauci book probably will be right up
there with like Michelle Obama's Becoming or whatever the name
of that book was that sold like three million copies.
How many people actually ever open that book?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I think less than five percent of the people that
bought Michelle Obama's book, I would bet less than five
percent of them read the whole book.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's why I don't think. I don't think that's a
crazy perspective, right They just I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Can never check these numbers. But if you actually, if
you got if you got one hundred Michelle Obama book
purchasers in a room and gave them the most basic
reading comprehension test on that book, five of the hundred
would pass. That would be such a good That would
be amazing. It would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
But you know it is that would be a great
television quiz. You know, I think you're probably right. I
would bet Michelle Obama's book is the single most purchased,
so you can look good for purchasing it. Book of
the twenty first century. That would be my guess. Now
there are other ones, Hillary Clinton's memoir, Barack Obama. I
(02:56):
tend to think that left wingers would be way more
in pro by the idea that you read a book,
which is why I'm citing those in particular. But I
just even with that in context, I don't think that
Fauci is enough of an icon that even that many
people will buy his book. This reminds me Buck years
(03:19):
and years ago, and I can't even remember the guy's name.
It was the first athlete to come out as gay
basketball player. One of our staff can look it up.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
ESPN.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I believe published the book they turned it into like
it was the biggest reveal that you could ever imagine.
Oh my goodness, this former NBA player is gay and
now he's written a memoir about it, and they you
couldn't have given more publicity to this book. It sold
like seven thousand copies and it was probably the most
(03:50):
promoted sports book of the year because most people didn't
care about the guy and they also didn't care about
it being gay, right, Like, so what, okay, so you're
gay and you played bad basketball. That doesn't really most
people don't care unless you're really good at the sport too,
and then you might be like, Okay, this sounds like
an interesting book to read. Totally fell flat on its face.
(04:11):
I feel like this Fauci book is going to be
the same way, because I think everybody on the planet.
He'll come out and do his usual interviews everywhere. But
I don't think it's like, I don't think he's as
beloved as Michelle Obama. I think it's even faker that
people claim that they like him.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Well, I mean, Michelle Obama probably got like fifteen or
twenty million for her book all in right, I mean
it's more than five than five million.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
But to Michelle Obama's credit, the number of copies of
her book that sold, the publisher made money.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
This fill is if you're a doocry book, Yeah, if
you're a Democrat, you bought the Michelle Obama book pretty much.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I mean that's that's the way I think that a
lot of people would would use the Fauci book. I
think they're going to lose millions of dollars on. I
don't get into their being injured.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I don't think so. I think that they're when does
the Verse come out?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Do we know?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I don't think it's been I mean it's going to
be ghost written obviously. I don't even know when it's
supposed to come out. But the Fauci Book is table
this one. We'll table this one. I think it's going
to sell pretty well because Clay there are I'm telling you,
when I came back from honeymoon whatever that was six
weeks ago, now a month ago, I can't even remember
the number of people in the Lax airport that were
(05:20):
you know, I'm going to be in New York this week,
coming up next week. The number of people in the
Lax airport with masks on. I'm not saying it was
a super high percentage, but they were all over the place.
It was like five to ten percent of everybody in
that airport. At this stage of the game, all of
those people will buy the Fauci book because it's it's like,
(05:42):
it's like the you know, it'll be the security, the
Bible of Faucism. I don't know what else to say,
It'll be their religious text. I just you know.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I flew back from DC early this morning, and this
is where I just can't get past every time I'm flying. Now,
young kids in masks, What are their parents doing? You
If you've got a four year old and you're in
an airport in twenty twenty three and your kid is
still wearing a mask, that is, to me so clearly
(06:14):
child abuse. I just feel bad for the kid because
I can only imagine how hellish the last three years
of that kid's life has to have been. If they're
still a parent demanding they wear a mask after three
years of COVID. Imagine what restrictions were put on those kids.
How few of them got to go outside and live
normal lives. And unfortunately, I think their immune systems are
(06:38):
going to bear the brunt of that over protectiveness for
years and years to.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Come Sunday Drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
When was the last time you stood in a line
at a club with a velvet rope? Mister v I
have you ever thought if you thought of given mary
long time? Like, I haven't even married for a few
months now, and I don't think i've done that in
I think I was probably thirty the last time I
did that. It's been a long time, maybe even like
late twenties.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I actually stood in line. It's funny you mentioned this.
I stood in line probably two months ago to get
in a to get into place.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And what what Clay was? How do you break this
to me on air? We have airplace stories. It wasn't
like a club, all right. So it wasn't a club.
It was like, was it a cabaret? It was?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, it was a strip club. It was it was
a it was a transgender story hour. It was I
was trying to to go meet a friend, and I
don't know, there's like ten people outside, and I didn't
want to try to skip the line because I'm conscious
of like somebody being like, oh look, Clay, Travis thinks
(07:54):
he's so big time, and and so I stood like,
there's like ten people. So I stood in line and
waited to get in, and you know, of course people
came by and like two different people were like, hey,
what's going on, you know, like to see me standing
in line.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So that that was like two months ago.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I stood in line to get into a it was
a it was a bar, but it was just kind
of like a random Friday or Saturday in Nashville, and
I did stand in line at some point. I'm trying
to remember what the college town was to get in
on a college football game day weekend this past fall,
I was going to meet a buddy and he was
in there and there was like twenty people in line.
(08:30):
I was like, I told him I'd come have a
beer with him. So I stood in line there. But
in general, I despise lines. Will I will not wait
in line to go anywhere. So that that's the that's
the answer to your question. Why what is there a
big line the dispute or dilemma here?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
No, No, I was I was just thinking about VIP
and I started thinking about how, you know, there was
always all these all these clubs, especially in New York City,
there was for a long time a big business in
these nightclubs, and you always they wanted to sell you.
You like VIP access, and they would sell you a bottle.
I don't know how many people across the country have
really experienced this. They have us in a lot. I mean,
they have similar things in like Charleston and you know
(09:10):
where you buy a bottle and you get But they
would sell at nightclubs in New York when I was
a teenager. Not that I was going to nightclubs before
I was twenty one, of course that would be never
think of such things. That would be against the law.
But they would sell a bottle of absolute vodka in
these places for oh yeah, one thousand bucks. Yeah, one
thousand dollars for a bottle of vodka that they paid.
(09:30):
That was but that was pre really pre internet era.
Now I'm really feeling old, and I just think that
now guys used to in major cities, they would spend
crazy money to be in a place where they thought
there'd be attractive single women and they would have a
good sort of chance of getting to talk to them,
even though worst place to meet a woman. And I
(09:52):
could speak to this from my single days. Anywhere where
you have to shout over music really hard, correct, really
hard unless you are so handsome that you don't need
to speak and like have any game, which was never
my situation. The worst place is in a really crowded place.
But now everyone just everyone just meets everybody else you
know online on Instagram like you don't have to go
(10:13):
to It has dramatically changed mating in America that people
don't have to just go to a bar or a
nightclub and be like, I wonder if there are going
to be some single people there for me to talk to.
Everyone just slides into dms on Instagram. That still happens.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
But I also think there's still a lot of rich
guys out there that want to pay for a bottle
service so they can just yell at pretty girls walking
by they can come up and have a drink. I
still think that that is a because then you can
be like, hey, what's your Instagram? And then you have
an easy entre. You don't have to ask for phone
numbers anymore. You just be like, you know, whatever, the
girl is, what's our Every girl on the planet who's
(10:49):
good looking has an Instagram page, right, I mean, this
is almost unheard of for them not to And.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I tell all my guy friends. If it's not a
professional Instagram page, she's got more than fifty thousand and followers,
you know you're in for. Uh, it's gonna be an
interesting process, the dating process. That's always out.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
With a single guy at the Super Bowl and he said,
I have refused. I refuse to date any girl that
has more than twenty five hundred Instagram followers because that
means they're like professionally hot and they're not normal any.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Too much mail attention, too much mail attention, it's it
pollutes the mind. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. The
guys out there, you know, the married ladies they know
too that this is the with the younger generation and
everything else. But the guys in particular, they know it's. Man,
it's a crazy world out there in the dating game.
That's all I'm saying. We don't really talk about this
very much on the show. But anyway, I haven't been
(11:44):
to a velvet rope situation a long time. But there's
no velvet rope on Clay and.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Buck Sunday, hang with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know. Trump had a rally out in Waco over
the weekend, and yes, there was some talk of Ron DeSantis.
Clay's gonna want to dive into that in a little
bit as as well as have you seen Clay The
new Netflix Waco documentary in three parts?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I heard it must watch. I know, I have not
seen it.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's very well done. They've done a few really good
series around Waco. Actually, Taylor Kitsch, who most people would
know as the actor who played Tim Riggins in the
Friday Night like.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
That, actors of all time, I mean, one of the
greatest roles of all times.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I'm not sure he's one of the greatest actors.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, one of the great roles of all time, Tim
Riggins on on the Friday Night for those.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
No offense to Riggins, but I mean, you know, he's
not exactly Charleton, you know, Charlton Heston or Anthony Hopkins.
But anyway, Washington not not knocking down the door exactly.
So but anyway, it's very good. I recommend it to anybody.
A lot of documentary footage and it's really really well done.
I know it's Netflix, but if you have Netflix, it's
worth checking out because well, it's something we'll talk about
(13:08):
more I think later on the week. I just think
that there's a lot that happened there, that you need
to keep in mind about what happens when things get
out of hand and the government, the government goes too far. Okay,
So this is from the account and wokeness. And I
will say I had seen this percolating even some years ago,
(13:29):
and it was almost like on the hard left, you know,
I know leftist Clay, I know leftist personally. I'm actually
I'm actually friends with a fe who will tell you
that they don't want to defund police, they want to
abolish police, and that that is the true position of
the American left. They don't say it out loud that much,
but that they want no police period. And I'm always like, well,
(13:49):
that would be the purge. That's insane. They say no, no, anyway.
The true position of the left on the transgender issue
isn't that this is a person who is deserving of
respect and dignity and equal protection under the law, because
that's all true. Of course, these are human beings we
should treat The true position of the left is that
this is a woman, when it's a man transitioning to
(14:09):
a woman, indistinguishable in all respects and must be treated
as indistinguishable in all respects, which brings me to chat GPT.
Here chat GPT. This is on the end wokeness account.
Men who won't date a woman with a penis are
oh sorry. The question was, is it transphobic if a
(14:31):
man refuses to date a woman with a penis? And
that The response for the AI is if a man
refuses to date a woman solely because she has a penis,
then it can be considered transphobic. This is because it
reduces the woman to her genitalia and implies that her
gender identity is not foul valid or that she is
less of a woman than a sis gender woman. That
(14:53):
is the actual position of the left. I just want
everyone to know that that is the best. That's where
we're headed towards. That's CHAP GPT my understanding three point five.
They continue to update it. But this is also why
AI is so slanted in one direction or another. But
this is far left wing. This is going to become standard.
You are a bigot if you won't date a woman
(15:13):
with a penis. That's where we're headed.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And by the way, I guess I'm gonna be a
huge bigot for for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And by the way, I hope my kids are too.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So important that everyone understands what's going on at the border.
I thought it was. It's fascinating talk to Steven Miller
about that, just because of the all the interlocking layers,
and you have to understand both the depth of the
failure of the Biden administration on this issue and the
(15:54):
desire for that failure from the Biden administration. So it's
going terrorI this is an unusual thing when when it
is going terribly by all measures, by all indicators, and
the people in charge are happy about it. That's jen Now.
I know some of you're saying, oh, they want to
collapse the economy and everything else on Nancy Pelosi likes
(16:15):
being rich. He wants to They want to collapse the
economy for you, but they want to make sure that
you know they destroy the entire US currency. I got
news for you. We've all got a lot of problems.
That reminds me for the ancient the ancient history folks
out there, we have to come up with a better Teruman
calling people who like history nerds, We're not nerds. We're
(16:36):
history athletes. You know, history cool people, But the the
coinage of the This is famous and if you go
to uh In you know, lectures from the you know,
the Mesa's Institute, and you go about Milton Friedman fans
and everything else. Ancient Rome at its absolute height of
power would have been Now some people are gonna argue
(16:59):
with me about this, but essentially the reign of the
Emperor Caesar Augustus, that would be when you reach its
absolute peak, and that's when you had around then roughly
you had the coinage of the denarius or denari. I
guess is what the eplural would be, which was the
Roman silver coin. Actually, I think the coinage of the
(17:22):
denarius started well before that, but it reached its you know,
the Roman Empire reached its total peak and they were
having these they minted these silver coins, the denarius, and
it went from being I think one hundred percent pure
silver over the course of a couple of hundred years
to you know, seventy percent silver, fifty percent silver, and
(17:45):
then by the end it was like five History of
Ficionado's producer Rallity says, I don't know that makes us
sound fancy, like we're light and one hundred dollars bills
on fire with our fancy cigars talking about history. Although
maybe that's cool if you were starting a history club,
that might be a good way to go. But the
the Denarius was debased as a precious metal coin over
(18:06):
the course. This is the bottom line. Okay, I'm just
going from memory here, so pardon me if I'm getting
some of the dates. I think they might have even
started coinage of the Denarius during the Second Punic War,
one of the most fascinating military historical periods you could
ever find. Hannibal crossing the Alps. People always talk about
all the elephants he crossed with, actually didn't cross with
very many because the elephants died. It turns out they
(18:28):
don't really want to be in the you know, the
European Alps for very long anyway. But the coinage was
destroyed and the Roman Empire essentially collapsed along with it.
But you know what they made sure to do the
whole time, to pay the bureaucrats and to pay the military.
That was the one thing that they knew they had
(18:48):
to keep doing and raise their pay and raise their pay.
The bureaucrats and the people who worked for the state
that kept getting in the military because you need to
control the population. They kept getting their pay raised over time.
There are less from history about inflation, my friends, the
US dollar, if it were backed by silver, I could
tell you would not be a pretty situation.
Bold reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast. It starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm sorry, I just I have to for a minute here, everybody,
I have to Okay, somebody just got a big payday,
Clay five million big ones for the Fouch, five million
dollars for little Tony Fauci for his memoir. And by

young kids in masks, What are their parents doing? You
If you've got a four year old and you're in
an airport in twenty twenty three and your kid is
still wearing a mask, that is, to me so clearly
(06:14):
child abuse. I just feel bad for the kid because
I can only imagine how hellish the last three years
of that kid's life has to have been. If they're
still a parent demanding they wear a mask after three
years of COVID. Imagine what restrictions were put on those kids.
How few of them got to go outside and live
normal lives. And unfortunately, I think their immune systems are
(06:38):
going to bear the brunt of that over protectiveness for
years and years to.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Come Sunday Drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
When was the last time you stood in a line
at a club with a velvet rope? Mister v I
have you ever thought if you thought of given mary
long time? Like, I haven't even married for a few
months now, and I don't think i've done that in
I think I was probably thirty the last time I
did that. It's been a long time, maybe even like
late twenties.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I actually stood in line. It's funny you mentioned this.
I stood in line probably two months ago to get
in a to get into place.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And what what Clay was? How do you break this
to me on air? We have airplace stories. It wasn't
like a club, all right. So it wasn't a club.
It was like, was it a cabaret? It was?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, it was a strip club. It was it was
a it was a transgender story hour. It was I
was trying to to go meet a friend, and I
don't know, there's like ten people outside, and I didn't
want to try to skip the line because I'm conscious
of like somebody being like, oh look, Clay, Travis thinks
(07:54):
he's so big time, and and so I stood like,
there's like ten people. So I stood in line and
waited to get in, and you know, of course people
came by and like two different people were like, hey,
what's going on, you know, like to see me standing
in line.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So that that was like two months ago.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I stood in line to get into a it was
a it was a bar, but it was just kind
of like a random Friday or Saturday in Nashville, and
I did stand in line at some point. I'm trying
to remember what the college town was to get in
on a college football game day weekend this past fall,
I was going to meet a buddy and he was
in there and there was like twenty people in line.
(08:30):
I was like, I told him I'd come have a
beer with him. So I stood in line there. But
in general, I despise lines. Will I will not wait
in line to go anywhere. So that that's the that's
the answer to your question. Why what is there a
big line the dispute or dilemma here?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
No, No, I was I was just thinking about VIP
and I started thinking about how, you know, there was
always all these all these clubs, especially in New York City,
there was for a long time a big business in
these nightclubs, and you always they wanted to sell you.
You like VIP access, and they would sell you a bottle.
I don't know how many people across the country have
really experienced this. They have us in a lot. I mean,
they have similar things in like Charleston and you know
(09:10):
where you buy a bottle and you get But they
would sell at nightclubs in New York when I was
a teenager. Not that I was going to nightclubs before
I was twenty one, of course that would be never
think of such things. That would be against the law.
But they would sell a bottle of absolute vodka in
these places for oh yeah, one thousand bucks. Yeah, one
thousand dollars for a bottle of vodka that they paid.
(09:30):
That was but that was pre really pre internet era.
Now I'm really feeling old, and I just think that
now guys used to in major cities, they would spend
crazy money to be in a place where they thought
there'd be attractive single women and they would have a
good sort of chance of getting to talk to them,
even though worst place to meet a woman. And I
(09:52):
could speak to this from my single days. Anywhere where
you have to shout over music really hard, correct, really
hard unless you are so handsome that you don't need
to speak and like have any game, which was never
my situation. The worst place is in a really crowded place.
But now everyone just everyone just meets everybody else you
know online on Instagram like you don't have to go
(10:13):
to It has dramatically changed mating in America that people
don't have to just go to a bar or a
nightclub and be like, I wonder if there are going
to be some single people there for me to talk to.
Everyone just slides into dms on Instagram. That still happens.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
But I also think there's still a lot of rich
guys out there that want to pay for a bottle
service so they can just yell at pretty girls walking
by they can come up and have a drink. I
still think that that is a because then you can
be like, hey, what's your Instagram? And then you have
an easy entre. You don't have to ask for phone
numbers anymore. You just be like, you know, whatever, the
girl is, what's our Every girl on the planet who's
(10:49):
good looking has an Instagram page, right, I mean, this
is almost unheard of for them not to And.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I tell all my guy friends. If it's not a
professional Instagram page, she's got more than fifty thousand and followers,
you know you're in for. Uh, it's gonna be an
interesting process, the dating process. That's always out.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
With a single guy at the Super Bowl and he said,
I have refused. I refuse to date any girl that
has more than twenty five hundred Instagram followers because that
means they're like professionally hot and they're not normal any.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Too much mail attention, too much mail attention, it's it
pollutes the mind. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. The
guys out there, you know, the married ladies they know
too that this is the with the younger generation and
everything else. But the guys in particular, they know it's. Man,
it's a crazy world out there in the dating game.
That's all I'm saying. We don't really talk about this
very much on the show. But anyway, I haven't been
(11:44):
to a velvet rope situation a long time. But there's
no velvet rope on Clay and.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Buck Sunday, hang with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know. Trump had a rally out in Waco over
the weekend, and yes, there was some talk of Ron DeSantis.
Clay's gonna want to dive into that in a little
bit as as well as have you seen Clay The
new Netflix Waco documentary in three parts?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I heard it must watch. I know, I have not
seen it.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's very well done. They've done a few really good
series around Waco. Actually, Taylor Kitsch, who most people would
know as the actor who played Tim Riggins in the
Friday Night like.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
That, actors of all time, I mean, one of the
greatest roles of all times.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I'm not sure he's one of the greatest actors.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, one of the great roles of all time, Tim
Riggins on on the Friday Night for those.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
No offense to Riggins, but I mean, you know, he's
not exactly Charleton, you know, Charlton Heston or Anthony Hopkins.
But anyway, Washington not not knocking down the door exactly.
So but anyway, it's very good. I recommend it to anybody.
A lot of documentary footage and it's really really well done.
I know it's Netflix, but if you have Netflix, it's
worth checking out because well, it's something we'll talk about
(13:08):
more I think later on the week. I just think
that there's a lot that happened there, that you need
to keep in mind about what happens when things get
out of hand and the government, the government goes too far. Okay,
So this is from the account and wokeness. And I
will say I had seen this percolating even some years ago,
(13:29):
and it was almost like on the hard left, you know,
I know leftist Clay, I know leftist personally. I'm actually
I'm actually friends with a fe who will tell you
that they don't want to defund police, they want to
abolish police, and that that is the true position of
the American left. They don't say it out loud that much,
but that they want no police period. And I'm always like, well,
(13:49):
that would be the purge. That's insane. They say no, no, anyway.
The true position of the left on the transgender issue
isn't that this is a person who is deserving of
respect and dignity and equal protection under the law, because
that's all true. Of course, these are human beings we
should treat The true position of the left is that
this is a woman, when it's a man transitioning to
(14:09):
a woman, indistinguishable in all respects and must be treated
as indistinguishable in all respects, which brings me to chat GPT.
Here chat GPT. This is on the end wokeness account.
Men who won't date a woman with a penis are
oh sorry. The question was, is it transphobic if a
(14:31):
man refuses to date a woman with a penis? And
that The response for the AI is if a man
refuses to date a woman solely because she has a penis,
then it can be considered transphobic. This is because it
reduces the woman to her genitalia and implies that her
gender identity is not foul valid or that she is
less of a woman than a sis gender woman. That
(14:53):
is the actual position of the left. I just want
everyone to know that that is the best. That's where
we're headed towards. That's CHAP GPT my understanding three point five.
They continue to update it. But this is also why
AI is so slanted in one direction or another. But
this is far left wing. This is going to become standard.
You are a bigot if you won't date a woman
(15:13):
with a penis. That's where we're headed.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And by the way, I guess I'm gonna be a
huge bigot for for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And by the way, I hope my kids are too.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So important that everyone understands what's going on at the border.
I thought it was. It's fascinating talk to Steven Miller
about that, just because of the all the interlocking layers,
and you have to understand both the depth of the
failure of the Biden administration on this issue and the
(15:54):
desire for that failure from the Biden administration. So it's
going terrorI this is an unusual thing when when it
is going terribly by all measures, by all indicators, and
the people in charge are happy about it. That's jen Now.
I know some of you're saying, oh, they want to
collapse the economy and everything else on Nancy Pelosi likes
(16:15):
being rich. He wants to They want to collapse the
economy for you, but they want to make sure that
you know they destroy the entire US currency. I got
news for you. We've all got a lot of problems.
That reminds me for the ancient the ancient history folks
out there, we have to come up with a better Teruman
calling people who like history nerds, We're not nerds. We're
(16:36):
history athletes. You know, history cool people, But the the
coinage of the This is famous and if you go
to uh In you know, lectures from the you know,
the Mesa's Institute, and you go about Milton Friedman fans
and everything else. Ancient Rome at its absolute height of
power would have been Now some people are gonna argue
(16:59):
with me about this, but essentially the reign of the
Emperor Caesar Augustus, that would be when you reach its
absolute peak, and that's when you had around then roughly
you had the coinage of the denarius or denari. I
guess is what the eplural would be, which was the
Roman silver coin. Actually, I think the coinage of the
(17:22):
denarius started well before that, but it reached its you know,
the Roman Empire reached its total peak and they were
having these they minted these silver coins, the denarius, and
it went from being I think one hundred percent pure
silver over the course of a couple of hundred years
to you know, seventy percent silver, fifty percent silver, and
(17:45):
then by the end it was like five History of
Ficionado's producer Rallity says, I don't know that makes us
sound fancy, like we're light and one hundred dollars bills
on fire with our fancy cigars talking about history. Although
maybe that's cool if you were starting a history club,
that might be a good way to go. But the
the Denarius was debased as a precious metal coin over
(18:06):
the course. This is the bottom line. Okay, I'm just
going from memory here, so pardon me if I'm getting
some of the dates. I think they might have even
started coinage of the Denarius during the Second Punic War,
one of the most fascinating military historical periods you could
ever find. Hannibal crossing the Alps. People always talk about
all the elephants he crossed with, actually didn't cross with
very many because the elephants died. It turns out they
(18:28):
don't really want to be in the you know, the
European Alps for very long anyway. But the coinage was
destroyed and the Roman Empire essentially collapsed along with it.
But you know what they made sure to do the
whole time, to pay the bureaucrats and to pay the military.
That was the one thing that they knew they had
(18:48):
to keep doing and raise their pay and raise their pay.
The bureaucrats and the people who worked for the state
that kept getting in the military because you need to
control the population. They kept getting their pay raised over time.
There are less from history about inflation, my friends, the
US dollar, if it were backed by silver, I could
tell you would not be a pretty situation.
