Speaker 1 (00:00):
The third hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
(00:04):
Thanks for being here with us, everybody. As always, Trump
gave a heck of a press conference earlier today. It
was pointed out by many observers that he is doing
more media in the interim between taking the presidency and
winning the presidency than Biden probably has done in his
(00:27):
entire last year of the presidency. And this is something
that I think is not nearly talked about enough. Clay
in all the post mortem of the election, that and
really I don't like that term because it feels it's
really a it's really an American renaissance. It's a rebirth
since the election. It's fantastic, and post mortem is a
(00:48):
term we use that's a little macabre. I think we
could find something better. I would say, I'm weaving right now.
I have a cold and I'm weaving. I would say
that with Trump's media presence, we're getting a taste of
one why he was such a formidable candidate. But we're
also reminded of the fact that they tried to run
(01:12):
on the other side of things. Joe Biden a dementia
pation for four more years of the presidency, and they
complain about losing. You know, I just really if we
took a step back, if we all just had like
an adult time out where we could take off our
partisan hats. The Democrats absolutely deserved the ass kicking they got,
(01:33):
just based on the fact that they tried to run
Biden again up until the summer before the election. I
just view it as it is just self evident what
a deceptive, dishonest, and disgraceful thing it was that they
tried to try to pull off. And I think it's
just noteworthy because they take no accountability for this whatsoever. Really,
(01:55):
you know, they do this whole thing of oh, we
couldn't know. Well, if you couldn't know, then you're too
stupid to tie your own shoes. And you did know,
and you just thought that you could capitalize on this
mass delusion for four more years. I think the plan
was always, by the way, to have Kamala take over
at some point four Biden, you know, if he could
have won the reelection. Obviously it didn't happen, But I
(02:17):
think that that's that's an interesting backdrop for the Trump
press conference he gave Clay. He was fantastic on the
any I don't want to spend too many. Oh, there's
one bit of breaking news. I wanted to throw this
in there too. The report from the jack Smith unconstitutional,
(02:38):
fake special counsel. Really have to say the whole thing
is illegitimate, right, I mean, if he wasn't duly appointed,
the whole thing was a sham, truly a sham constitutionally speaking,
legally speaking, a sham. Judge Eileen Cannon, who is a superstar,
maybe if there's a Supreme Court opening, maybe Judge Eileen Cannon.
You know, I'm just throwing it out there. She has
(03:00):
put it out an injunction right now, there's a a
an order from the court not to release the jack
Smith report in advance of the election, which you and
I have of the same mind on this clay. It's
just meant to be another thumb in the eye of Trump.
Not that it's going to do anything beforehand, but it
just goes to show you how petty these Democrats are
(03:21):
even at this stage.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, and we haven't mentioned it much. The sentencing for
Trump is set to happen on Friday, right, Yeah, the
judge merchand case. What I expect to happen there is
basically for there to be some sort of fine, there's
no jail time. It's it's basically done. Trump will still
appeal it because I think he finds and I think
(03:44):
he's correct that it's an illegitimate conviction. But essentially this
is them saying, yeah, there are going to be no
consequences for that one other thing that just happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The Lake and Riley Act has passed the House. Simplifying
what this does. It basically requires federal immigration authorities to
detain illegal immigrants found guilty of theft related crimes. The
man who killed Lake and Riley allegedly had been arrested
for theft and released from prison. Every Republican in the
(04:17):
House voted for it, along with forty eight Democrats. It
will now be sent to the Senate, where it will pass,
I would imagine, and then be soon signed by Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Within a few days.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
We have a new Senate and a new House that
is there, So even though Biden is still in office
for what's the math thirteen days, they're already working towards
bills that could be signed by Donald Trump. So I
do think it's worth mentioning that Congress is underway and
that the House has passed its first bill.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Absolutely. Now, if we can for a moment here return
to the issue or look at this issue, Clay that
that Trump was discussing about the energy policy the Bide administration.
For some of the best stuff during his press conference
today was when he was talking about just all of
these idiotic so called green policies. These things make no sense.
(05:17):
They accomplish nothing other than enriching certain crony interests of
the government and of the left, harassing people, forcing obedience.
You know, it's really all obedience training. It's why I
hate recycling. You know, people get so mad at me.
I've always been like an anti recycling zealot. I mean,
just do some research on it, you'll be like, recycling
is almost always worthless. There are some instances in some places.
(05:39):
I think they're getting rid of it here in Miami,
by the way, because it doesn't actually do the things
that it's supposed to do. It doesn't help the environment,
doesn't reduce waste, and a lot of times plastic in
particular just ends up being resold in developing countries around
the world, and then it ends up directly in the
rivers and directly in the ocean. So the whole thing
is a joke. But talked about even the little annoyances,
(06:01):
the stupid, petty annoyances of water restrictors, even for places
with plenty of water, So you just end up taking
a longer shower that's less comfortable because you can get
less water. Like who in the government should be restricting
how much? I'm water fired up about this.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
One of the things that frustrates me more than anything
is getting in a shower and not being able to
actually have water come out of the shower head.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I mean, see lunacy. It's like a weird torture process.
But it reminds me of the masking during COVID. It's
making people uncomfortable as part of their religion of you know,
leftist authoritarianism. You know of this of this safetyism and
suppose to do good orsm and it's all garbage. It's
completely worthless. And Trump this was what Trump was talking
(06:47):
about the press conference, but more specifically when he gets
into what Biden's doing. The final days, there was just
a slap down of the Biden administration that occurred called
this election. Okay, Trump won seven out of seven swing states,
definitive victory, absolutely crushed his opponent Kamala Harris, and as
(07:08):
he points out, really had to run. He really, you know,
it's we think of it like, oh, it was some
advantage for Trump. They got to run, they got two shots.
In a sense. They tried to run Biden and they
saw how that went. And then last minute they tried
to run Kamala. You know, that's not It's like switching
the fighter on somebody in the last minute in a
boxing match. Like that's not the way it's supposed to
go anyway. Any he won, as we know. But what
(07:31):
Biden has tried to do with regard to energy policy
offshore in the last days is just is truly despicable.
This has cut twenty six This is what the President
said earlier today in this toward to forest press conference.
Play it.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
They took away six hundred and twenty five million acres
of wolfshore drilling. Nobody else does that, and they think
they haven't. But we'll put it back. I'm gonna put
it back on day I'm gonna have it revoked on
day one. We'll go immediately if we need to. I
don't think we should have to go to the courts,
but if we do have to go to the course.
You know, they try to be sninky, they go in
(08:08):
and design. Remember this is a man that said he
wants to transition to be smooth. Well, you don't do
the kind of things you don't have a judge working
real hard to try and embarrass you because I did
nothing wrong. By the way, I did nothing, absolutely nothing wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Clay six hundred and twenty five million acres of off
for a drilling by by executive What is the point
of this executive fiat with days left in office from
Biden other than just to show what a bunch of
lunatic cry babies, especially when it comes to the environment,
the Democrats are.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, they're wrong on pretty much everything, and these executive
orders are really, unfortunately just designed to try to make
it more difficult to do what we should all be doing,
which is opening up as much oil and gas exploration
as possible. And I thought our caller to finish the
last hour made a really important point here. China's not
(09:03):
sitting around worried about their fossil fuel emissions. They're not
sitting around obsessed with climate change. They're obsessed with trying
to kick our ass economically. And they know one way
to do that is to get as much energy potential
unlocked as possible.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And so.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Greenland has to do with our ability to move products
around the globe as fast as possible. So does Panama,
and so does our ability to unlock the natural resources
off the coast of the United States. And we got
to be able to do it. And I just Biden,
first of all, has no idea what's going on. I mean,
(09:42):
he had no idea what was going on for a
long time before now. But I legitimately believe that he
is completely and totally clueless as to any of the
decisions that are being made in the White House at
this point. I mean the decision to give Soros a metal.
Do you think Joe Biden was sitting around saying, hey,
you know, we to do make sure we give George
Soros a medal. That's somebody in his staff who wants
(10:04):
to curry favor going forward with the Soros family.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
They gave Lionel Messi, who's not even American, the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. He didn't even show up. It's really funny.
He's some little Argentinian soccer player. Yeah, okay, he's a
great soccer player who cares well, what are we giving
the presidential Medal of Freedom to some foreigner who kicks
a ball for a living? What is that?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's crazy that that was ever, that that was ever decided,
But I think that's what they're doing now. To answer
your question, I think a lot of people who are
inside of the Biden apparatus are trying to curry favor
going forward for what will be an open presidential cycle
in twenty twenty eight. And there's a lot of money
(10:48):
to be raised, and there're gonna be a lot of
Democrats throwing their hats in the ring to try to
be the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty eight. I think
it's fair to say jd Vance has a substantial lead
if Trump does decently as the city vice president, to
be the nominee going forward in twenty twenty eight on
the Republican side, Democrats side wide open, And if you're
going to be trying to advance causes, hey, having somebody
(11:10):
who's in your thrall, in your stead, in your debt
actually makes good sense. So I think that's what this
is about. It's not about Biden. He doesn't have any
future going forward. He's got thirteen days, and then for
the most part, we won't hear about him again until sadly,
you know, three or four years from now, I think
he'll die. And I hate to say that. I mean,
(11:31):
I hope he has a longer, healthier life remaining for him.
But based on the decline that we've seen in the
last four years, do you feel like Joe Biden's going
to be president, I mean, going to be alive and
vibrant for a decade from now, I don't. I mean,
I would put his life span, unfortunately, at five years
or less based on the trajectory that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And man, it's kind.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of dark, I know, sorry, but really kind of a
bullet I think it speaks though, to how exactly reckless
it was to even run him. I don't think Joe
Biden could survive four years. Leave aside whether he could
be president, we know he doesn't have the mental or
physical capacity to be president. I don't think he's going
to be alive for a full four year term from now.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
The handwriting is on the wall. What the way Democrats
do this? Senator Dianne Feinstein can't brush her own hair
and put on her own clothing, and she's a sitting
US Senator and her staff and everybody just covered it
up because she's a powerful person and they just wanted
to keep being at the power trough. That's disgusting. This
is gerontocracy time in a way that is is reckless.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What about the Texas congresswoman they just found out is
living in.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
A hospital center.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I mean the fact that we have I mean Nancy
Pelosi's walking around with a walker. The fact that we
have people who will just not retire is I think
a major danger to the United States going forward. Wisdom
is great, but at some point, if you can't fly
an airplane, you shouldn't be allowed to manage the United
(13:10):
States government. And we've got a lot of people who
are unable to do a lot of different jobs. Start
the year off by working your way towards saving as
much as one thousand dollars on your family cell phone bill.
If you're still with Verizon AT and t r TEA mobile,
switch to pure Talk today. Start saving money immediately. Puretalk
service on the same towers networks as the other companies
(13:30):
out there, giving you the same five G nationwide service.
My fourteen year old and my sixteen year old are
both on pure Talk Networks, and this year, there's no
need to spend eighty five or one hundred dollars per
person on your wireless bill. Pure Talk will give you
unlimited talk text, fifteen gigs of data with a mobile
hotspot for just thirty five bucks a month. That means
a family of four can save one thousand dollars a
(13:52):
year with pure Talk while enjoying America's most dependable five
G network. You can do a lot with that extra
thousand dollars that you're not having to spend on an
expensive cell phone bill. Switch to pure Talk by dialing
pound two five zero, saying the keywords Clay and Buck
again from your cell phone. Dial pound two five zero,
say Clay and Buck, and you'll save an additional fifty
(14:13):
percent off your first month with Puretalk, America's wireless company.

so good. Find them on.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
The free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We've had some fun
talking about Trump's press conference, which we shouldn't mention. Basically,
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris never do whatever your thoughts
are on the variety of opinions that Donald Trump is sharing,
(14:49):
from how to handle things in the Middle East to
what to call the Gulf of Mexico going forward. He
gives you an unvarnished look at his particular policies and
positions on any given day that is pre detailed. And
Joe Biden had the fewest press conferences of any president
(15:10):
in the modern era because his brain doesn't work well
enough to be able to handle questions or remember, they
gave him the questions in advance and told him who
to call on, and he would even look down at
that piece of paper and say, Okay, I'm supposed to
call on so and so next. He knew everything, and
he still did a poor job of it on the
limited occasions when he actually did those events. Kamala Harris
(15:30):
never had an actual press conference in her entire presidential campaign. Now,
she stopped and answered questions occasionally from the media as
she walked across let's say, the runway to get on
a jet or talk to media on her plane, but
she never had a formal Hey, I'm going to stand
up here, and answer any question you have in her
(15:51):
entire presidential campaign. All right, with that in mind, let's
have a little bit of fun. Here is Trump deciding
to weigh in. I think this is Trump on the
restrictive nature of the U of shower heads, which we
were just talking about.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Listen, they want very very little water to go into
your dishwasher, almost none. And you know what people do,
They just keep pressing, pressing, pressing, keep it going. They
end up using more water. Likewise, washing machines. They want
in your washing machine to have very little water coming
out of the washing machine. So when you wash it clothing,
you have to wash it four times instead of once.
You end up using more water.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
We're a party of.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Common sense and things that I'm telling you now is
really all about common sense.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I love this so much. He's so right. And the
people that do all this efficiency, water efficiency, energy, just
light bulb light bulb efficiency. People want to I want
to strike, I want to read, I just clay. I
hate it so much, and he's so right. It's insane,
it's so dumb. But they are just people, you know what.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It is.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Also, so many of these libs and these people that
care so much about the environment because they don't time
to care about like the people in their own lives
and around them and themselves. They are just so unhappy.
They're just so unhappy, and they just want to find
a way to punish themselves. It's like it's like self
flagellation through weak washing machine.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I remember my wife was out shopping or something, and
she came back home to a hotel room and I
had somehow managed to get the lamp shade off of
the lamp, and it was like I was trying to read,
you know, like I had to hold my book in
my newspaper that I was reading, almost like against the
bulb to be able to see anything in the place.
I mean, and a lot of you, I bet have
(17:36):
experienced how ridiculous this is. You can't even see.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I used to remove the restrictor plate whenever I lived
in New York from my showers. And you know, it's
like you said in Seinfeld, I wanted to have something
where I could wash an elephant, you know what I mean.
I wanted the elephant washing shower head.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh, anyway, common sense returning to America sounds pretty amazing.
You know what else is common sense? Having a little
bit more testosterone in your life life, and that's what
Chalk does. Choq dot com. You can check out the
website right now. Our buddy Seat and third generation Texan.
He's created an all natural supplement which will increase your
testosterone level. Again, all natural, You're not taking anything any drug,
(18:16):
all natural. In three months time, your testosterone will go
up twenty percent. Well, since testosterone is the engine that
drives the male body, that makes a tremendous difference in
the amount of energy that you have.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
On a day to day basis.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
So if one of your twenty twenty five resolutions is
to be in better shape, have more energy, just try
to be more effective and efficient version of yourself, you
need to check out Chalk. Choq dot com is the

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck and my own mind
from put on quite a show, quite a show today
in this press conference, I want to take some your
calls here eight hundred two A two two eight a two. Also,
we kicked off the question earlier and I know a
(19:07):
lot of the VIPs. Clay, I've already been weighing on this.
Should I watch Land man, I'm gonna tell you some
of you got a little mad at me, at least
on Twitter, because I thought that Yellowstone it jumped the shark.
It was a classic jump the shark. I'm sorry, I'm right.
I enjoyed the show. It was always extremely unrealistic and
kind of but I really enjoyed it. Anyway. It was
(19:29):
a lot of fun, super popular or whatever. But the
but the last season, the Kevin Coster thing, it just
didn't It didn't get and I don't like the way
it ended anyway. You can get mad at me, it's fine,
but be honest with yourself, like the show didn't end
the way it should have. The last season was is
You're right? It was a mediocre in the at best. Yeah. Yeah, media,
I mean it was real kind of you know, womp womp.
(19:52):
You know. It wasn't great, but we did. I have
been hearing from people that land Man is absolutely fantastic,
and we have We're talking about energy and oil and uh,
there's a speech that our team pulled from that I
think ties into Trump's attitude today, which is just like
can we America is the global global energy superpower? We
(20:16):
need to remember this. We talked so much about you know,
oh Ai, and our information based economy. Without our natural resources,
none of this is happening, okay, Without the oil and
natural gas that America produces, our lifestyle, the strength of
the dollar, all that, we're living in a whole different universe, everybody,
all right, if we had like some barren landscape that
(20:38):
didn't have the natural resources that we do, we would
be in a very very different position. And it's where
it's it's it's critical to remember that. And the Democrats,
it's just like a it's almost like a civilizational death
wish that they have, like they want us to be
living in poverty and misery because we're easier to control
or something. It's insane. This is the speech from land
(21:00):
Man where he goes into, yeah, we need oil. Everybody,
get with the program. Play it.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
We have one hundred and twenty year petroleum based infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Our whole lives depend on it.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
And hell, it's in everything that road we came in
on the wheels on ever car, every may including yours, sentennis,
rackets and lipstick and refrigerators and antihistamines, pretty much anything plastic,
your cell phones. We're going to run out of it
before we find it's replacement.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
It's the thing that's gonna kill us all as a species.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
No, the thing is going to kill us all is
running out before we find an alternative.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So Clay, I don't know how much they heard because
we hadn't f bomb in there.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
But this h This show is basically taking you into
the Texas oil field and explaining the significance of everything
in the oil and gas industry to a lot of
people that otherwise wouldn't see it. And I would say,
this is one thing that takes just one thing.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Half of half of the oil production goes into products.
That's what people need. We think of it so much
for what goes into our cars. Half of petroleum goes
into plastics, jellies, creams, you know, you know all these
different things. I mean, there's so much and this idea
(22:28):
that we're going to replace it with, you know, with windmills,
you want ai you want electric cars, you want all
these things. We are so far from being able to
power that with wind and solar it's laughable. And wind
and solar and they get into this too, requires a
whole lot of plastics and chips and things that require
a whole lot of petroleum. It's just this is this
(22:51):
is where the left is insane. I mean, this is
where they just don't meet with reality. It's a religion
for them.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
We criticize the finale of Yellows Own this as well.
I'll come back and give some praise. Taylor's shared and
has been a fantastic producer of new television shows. And
he gets this in that on his shows he often
will allow a liberal perspective on the environment. He did
(23:20):
this with Yellowstone where they had the uh sort of
left wing activist protesting against against ranches and cattle and
the entire Montana industry there. And here he's got a
woman who's out there making and sharing left wing arguments.
You said something that I think is really important, and
(23:42):
I try to win this argument in my house that
it doesn't necessarily go that well, recycling is almost one worthless.
Whatever we spend on recycling actually causes more use of
energy to collate the recycled materials than just throwing things
(24:02):
away and building things anew very often.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So the time that you spend.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Going out and putting your papers in one recyclable bin
and your plastics in another, and all this stuff is
almost entirely worthless and doesn't make any difference at all
for the larger environment.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I just want to say it. It's the truth. It's
like no one will talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And the other thing that this landman thing does a
great job of is everything that is supposed to be
renewable energy, whether it's solar panels, whether it's windmills, all
of it requires more energy than the energy energy.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That we have now. And this is also hugely important.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
When we don't use American oil and gas, we're actually
having to go and consume the oil and gas which
is actually less environmentally friendly that's produced by foreign coverments
that often don't support basic human rights.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So this is a real window into the mindset of
all this. With the Keystone XL pipeline and with the
Keystone Xcel pipeline, what you saw was even by the
Obama administration's owned State Department review the oil's coming out
of the ground. It's just a question of do you
(25:18):
pipe it west for the Asian markets or do you
pipe it across the US and we get benefit from
the transit fees and also just from you know, secure
access to energy that is going to be going to
a US port. And even though this is the key thing,
the CO two impact is going to be the same
either way. We just don't want to sully. The Obama
(25:41):
administration shuts down the Keystone AXL pipeline because they don't
want to sully their hands with it. That's so it's
not even about the environment. It's I don't want to
be involved with the dirty oil stuff, and so even
though it's not going to change anything, we shouldn't benefit
from it. Again, it's it's this is like, you know,
it's like a religious thing. It's like, you know, I
can't touch this, you know, this form of food because
(26:03):
I'm told that it's dirty or it's bad. I mean,
there's no scientific basis for this.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Let me climb out my soapbox again. All the people
that are worried about the environment and recycling and all
this stuff, they should actually be having kids because the
real threat to the world going forward is global mass
population collapse. So this is very often what happens with humans.
(26:28):
We get fixated on dangers that aren't actually the dangers
that we should be worried about, and we ignore this
looming danger that is far more significant, which is and
these people are the number one PI. If you have
convinced yourself that the world is going to end because
of climate change, you're unlikely to have kids, and so
(26:50):
all these people buck. If you look at the trajectories
of population over the next eighty years or so, the
global population is going to collapse by about half over
the next eighty two one hundred years based on the
data that we have right now. That's the real threat
to human civilization. In many of these most advanced countries Italy, Japan,
(27:11):
where they have incredible cultures and civilizations, they're actually collapsing
the fastest. That is, the most advanced civilized societies, which
have the greatest history are the ones that are declining
on the most rapid fashion.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Also. But for bringing it back to Biden and the
executive order in the closing days, I mean, it's just
so the whole thing is so pathetic to try and
stop offshore oil from being explored in these areas. You know,
this is going on, and it goes on all the
world and it's fine and it's safe. It would be
(27:45):
like saying we can't have an airline industry because occasionally
there's an airline crash, and that's effectively what you're doing.
What is the problem with the offshore drilling. The problem
with the offshore drilling, they'll tell you, is well, there
can be an there can be an accident. Well, that's
true of a lot of things. And so really what
it is is they just don't want They don't want
(28:06):
to do it because they have an ideological aversion oil bad.
It's like a child. They don't think about it beyond
that oil bad. Don't do oil. And you go a
whole on a second, you need oil, we all need oil,
and they go, yeah, but oil bad. No offshore drilling.
It's like the mob mentality for people who have replaced
(28:29):
actual belief in God with belief in Mother Earth. Do
you remember the big story which a lot of people
don't even get of, what was producing the electricity that
was going to be funding providing the juice for so
many electric vehicles In one part I think it was Michigan.
It was a coal plant, so they were going to
be increasing the amount of coal that they were using
(28:50):
so that they could provide the electricity to charge vehicles.
And people said, you know, actually it would be far
more efficient from an economic perspective if we just use
gas as opposed to you using co coal to create
electric charging opportunities. So look, a lot of these people
don't want to go into the actual details behind it.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It doesn't work. It's actually not a very big threat
for the world. In fact, it's I'm not sure it's
in the top twenty things that I care about right now.
And uh, and I understand that a lot of people
have bought into this idea. Oh my goodness, you know,
rising seas, we're going to die. Yeah, we're not.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Well, what you touch on is a unique thing about this.
This the climate climate issue, whatever they however you want
to talk. Remember they were calling it climate catastrophe for
a while. That was what they were trying to say,
and that doesn't really work for them. And that's after
they went from global warming to climate changes. We all know, Oh,
climate disruption. I'm sorry, that's what it was. Climate disruption. Usually, Clay,
we disagree with the others. There's we can agree there's
(29:48):
a problem, and we disagree about how to fix the problem.
Like we can agree that there's you know, there's too
much crime, and we say, well, the criminals are the problems,
the criminal justice system coddling them, and they say no,
it's guns and their argument is garbage. But whatever with this,
there's no problem, correct, Like they think there's a problem.
I don't see a problem at all. And that's why
it's really hard to even have a conversation with them.
(30:10):
And then they say, like, well, you're bought off by
big oil, which is delusional, right, because clearly that's not
that sounds great, I wish, but I'm not if extant.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I mean, we're happy to do it, but so far
we haven't been bought up by bigger If Exxon wants
to start doing live reads, we'll do exon live reies,
no problem. Instead, I'm gonna tell you about prize Picks,
which we are bought off by because I like it.

and I think it may already be one of the finalists.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I know it's early in January.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It's hard to like call the clip of the year
in January, especially early January. But Sonny Hostin, who I
am confidently calling the dumbest person on daily television every
day in America. She's my number one, above Whoopee Goldberg, above, Joybahar, above,
Joy Read above, I know, Jake Tapper, whoever else you
(33:35):
want to put in the running.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Jake Tapper.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
By the way, if you paid attention to this, CNN's
in the middle of a Florida lawsuit that could cost it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
A ton of money.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
The guy refused to settle. Maybe we can have some
fun discussing the particulars of this case later in the week.
I think cnend's and potentially in trouble here. But Sonny
Hostin went on. Anniversary of January sixth was yesterday, as
all the three hundred and twelve electoral votes were being
counted for Donald Trump. Sonny Hostin said that this day, well,
(34:06):
it was like the Holocaust or like slavery.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
Listen, January sixth was an atrocity. It was one of
the worst moments in American history. When you think about
the worst moments in American history, you know, like World
War II, things that happened, you know, like the Holocaust.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Chattel, slavery.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
We need to never forget.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Okay, okay, Clay. Forty to sixty million people died in
the Second World War. Eleven million people died in the Holocaust.
Twelve million Africans were brought to the New World in chains.
One person died on January sixth, and it was a
woman who was shot by the police. That is it.
(34:49):
How do you compare these things and not sound like
a moron? How is that possible?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well, I think it's impossible, because she definitely sounded like
a moron. But I would even point this out Buck
for anybody out there. I mean, first of all, Sunny
Houston has a limited knowledge of history at all. But
if you're gonna cite the Holocaust as a negative in
American history, we actually liberated the survivors and fought the
Nazis to end the concentration camp. So even that if
(35:15):
she's using world history, we're actually the good guy.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, we're the good guys in the Second World War.
Yeah yeah, American history. I mean I think she meant
to say Pearl Harbor, but all you know, it would
be incredible. I mean, this is truly incredible, and like
there should be some contests and give money to charity
trying to see if the women of the view could pass,
like a basic US history test, like multiple choice twenty questions,
(35:43):
you know, who is the third President of the United States? Like,
you know what, I mean, just the most straightful what
year did the Civil War start? I mean, the most
basic stuff. I think they would get smoked, all of them.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
That's actually a brilliant idea, because we talk about illiteracy.
There is a I think this is why they've had
such fertile territory when they attack American history, because frankly,
we do such a poor job of teaching American history
that many kids out there are historically illiterate, and so
to your point, certainly a lot of media members are.
(36:19):
I mean, I would put myself I'm not sure I
would put myself in the ninety nine point nine percentile
for historical, particularly American historical nerddom. I think you and
I combined would destroy every necessarily that much to brag about.
We would destroy everybody in an American history in quiz
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Bol, I think I could do it if we had
to do it against them, and we had to read
it in ancient Greek
The third hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
(00:04):
Thanks for being here with us, everybody. As always, Trump
gave a heck of a press conference earlier today. It
was pointed out by many observers that he is doing
more media in the interim between taking the presidency and
winning the presidency than Biden probably has done in his
(00:27):
entire last year of the presidency. And this is something
that I think is not nearly talked about enough. Clay
in all the post mortem of the election, that and
really I don't like that term because it feels it's
really a it's really an American renaissance. It's a rebirth
since the election. It's fantastic, and post mortem is a
(00:48):
term we use that's a little macabre. I think we
could find something better. I would say, I'm weaving right now.
I have a cold and I'm weaving. I would say
that with Trump's media presence, we're getting a taste of
one why he was such a formidable candidate. But we're
also reminded of the fact that they tried to run
(01:12):
on the other side of things. Joe Biden a dementia
pation for four more years of the presidency, and they
complain about losing. You know, I just really if we
took a step back, if we all just had like
an adult time out where we could take off our
partisan hats. The Democrats absolutely deserved the ass kicking they got,
(01:33):
just based on the fact that they tried to run
Biden again up until the summer before the election. I
just view it as it is just self evident what
a deceptive, dishonest, and disgraceful thing it was that they
tried to try to pull off. And I think it's
just noteworthy because they take no accountability for this whatsoever. Really,
(01:55):
you know, they do this whole thing of oh, we
couldn't know. Well, if you couldn't know, then you're too
stupid to tie your own shoes. And you did know,
and you just thought that you could capitalize on this
mass delusion for four more years. I think the plan
was always, by the way, to have Kamala take over
at some point four Biden, you know, if he could
have won the reelection. Obviously it didn't happen, But I
(02:17):
think that that's that's an interesting backdrop for the Trump
press conference he gave Clay. He was fantastic on the
any I don't want to spend too many. Oh, there's
one bit of breaking news. I wanted to throw this
in there too. The report from the jack Smith unconstitutional,
(02:38):
fake special counsel. Really have to say the whole thing
is illegitimate, right, I mean, if he wasn't duly appointed,
the whole thing was a sham, truly a sham constitutionally speaking,
legally speaking, a sham. Judge Eileen Cannon, who is a superstar,
maybe if there's a Supreme Court opening, maybe Judge Eileen Cannon.
You know, I'm just throwing it out there. She has
(03:00):
put it out an injunction right now, there's a a
an order from the court not to release the jack
Smith report in advance of the election, which you and
I have of the same mind on this clay. It's
just meant to be another thumb in the eye of Trump.
Not that it's going to do anything beforehand, but it
just goes to show you how petty these Democrats are
(03:21):
even at this stage.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, and we haven't mentioned it much. The sentencing for
Trump is set to happen on Friday, right, Yeah, the
judge merchand case. What I expect to happen there is
basically for there to be some sort of fine, there's
no jail time. It's it's basically done. Trump will still
appeal it because I think he finds and I think
(03:44):
he's correct that it's an illegitimate conviction. But essentially this
is them saying, yeah, there are going to be no
consequences for that one other thing that just happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The Lake and Riley Act has passed the House. Simplifying
what this does. It basically requires federal immigration authorities to
detain illegal immigrants found guilty of theft related crimes. The
man who killed Lake and Riley allegedly had been arrested
for theft and released from prison. Every Republican in the
(04:17):
House voted for it, along with forty eight Democrats. It
will now be sent to the Senate, where it will pass,
I would imagine, and then be soon signed by Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Within a few days.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
We have a new Senate and a new House that
is there, So even though Biden is still in office
for what's the math thirteen days, they're already working towards
bills that could be signed by Donald Trump. So I
do think it's worth mentioning that Congress is underway and
that the House has passed its first bill.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Absolutely. Now, if we can for a moment here return
to the issue or look at this issue, Clay that
that Trump was discussing about the energy policy the Bide administration.
For some of the best stuff during his press conference
today was when he was talking about just all of
these idiotic so called green policies. These things make no sense.
(05:17):
They accomplish nothing other than enriching certain crony interests of
the government and of the left, harassing people, forcing obedience.
You know, it's really all obedience training. It's why I
hate recycling. You know, people get so mad at me.
I've always been like an anti recycling zealot. I mean,
just do some research on it, you'll be like, recycling
is almost always worthless. There are some instances in some places.
(05:39):
I think they're getting rid of it here in Miami,
by the way, because it doesn't actually do the things
that it's supposed to do. It doesn't help the environment,
doesn't reduce waste, and a lot of times plastic in
particular just ends up being resold in developing countries around
the world, and then it ends up directly in the
rivers and directly in the ocean. So the whole thing
is a joke. But talked about even the little annoyances,
(06:01):
the stupid, petty annoyances of water restrictors, even for places
with plenty of water, So you just end up taking
a longer shower that's less comfortable because you can get
less water. Like who in the government should be restricting
how much? I'm water fired up about this.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
One of the things that frustrates me more than anything
is getting in a shower and not being able to
actually have water come out of the shower head.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I mean, see lunacy. It's like a weird torture process.
But it reminds me of the masking during COVID. It's
making people uncomfortable as part of their religion of you know,
leftist authoritarianism. You know of this of this safetyism and
suppose to do good orsm and it's all garbage. It's
completely worthless. And Trump this was what Trump was talking
(06:47):
about the press conference, but more specifically when he gets
into what Biden's doing. The final days, there was just
a slap down of the Biden administration that occurred called
this election. Okay, Trump won seven out of seven swing states,
definitive victory, absolutely crushed his opponent Kamala Harris, and as
(07:08):
he points out, really had to run. He really, you know,
it's we think of it like, oh, it was some
advantage for Trump. They got to run, they got two shots.
In a sense. They tried to run Biden and they
saw how that went. And then last minute they tried
to run Kamala. You know, that's not It's like switching
the fighter on somebody in the last minute in a
boxing match. Like that's not the way it's supposed to
go anyway. Any he won, as we know. But what
(07:31):
Biden has tried to do with regard to energy policy
offshore in the last days is just is truly despicable.
This has cut twenty six This is what the President
said earlier today in this toward to forest press conference.
Play it.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
They took away six hundred and twenty five million acres
of wolfshore drilling. Nobody else does that, and they think
they haven't. But we'll put it back. I'm gonna put
it back on day I'm gonna have it revoked on
day one. We'll go immediately if we need to. I
don't think we should have to go to the courts,
but if we do have to go to the course.
You know, they try to be sninky, they go in
(08:08):
and design. Remember this is a man that said he
wants to transition to be smooth. Well, you don't do
the kind of things you don't have a judge working
real hard to try and embarrass you because I did
nothing wrong. By the way, I did nothing, absolutely nothing wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Clay six hundred and twenty five million acres of off
for a drilling by by executive What is the point
of this executive fiat with days left in office from
Biden other than just to show what a bunch of
lunatic cry babies, especially when it comes to the environment,
the Democrats are.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, they're wrong on pretty much everything, and these executive
orders are really, unfortunately just designed to try to make
it more difficult to do what we should all be doing,
which is opening up as much oil and gas exploration
as possible. And I thought our caller to finish the
last hour made a really important point here. China's not
(09:03):
sitting around worried about their fossil fuel emissions. They're not
sitting around obsessed with climate change. They're obsessed with trying
to kick our ass economically. And they know one way
to do that is to get as much energy potential
unlocked as possible.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And so.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Greenland has to do with our ability to move products
around the globe as fast as possible. So does Panama,
and so does our ability to unlock the natural resources
off the coast of the United States. And we got
to be able to do it. And I just Biden,
first of all, has no idea what's going on. I mean,
(09:42):
he had no idea what was going on for a
long time before now. But I legitimately believe that he
is completely and totally clueless as to any of the
decisions that are being made in the White House at
this point. I mean the decision to give Soros a metal.
Do you think Joe Biden was sitting around saying, hey,
you know, we to do make sure we give George
Soros a medal. That's somebody in his staff who wants
(10:04):
to curry favor going forward with the Soros family.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
They gave Lionel Messi, who's not even American, the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. He didn't even show up. It's really funny.
He's some little Argentinian soccer player. Yeah, okay, he's a
great soccer player who cares well, what are we giving
the presidential Medal of Freedom to some foreigner who kicks
a ball for a living? What is that?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's crazy that that was ever, that that was ever decided,
But I think that's what they're doing now. To answer
your question, I think a lot of people who are
inside of the Biden apparatus are trying to curry favor
going forward for what will be an open presidential cycle
in twenty twenty eight. And there's a lot of money
(10:48):
to be raised, and there're gonna be a lot of
Democrats throwing their hats in the ring to try to
be the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty eight. I think
it's fair to say jd Vance has a substantial lead
if Trump does decently as the city vice president, to
be the nominee going forward in twenty twenty eight on
the Republican side, Democrats side wide open, And if you're
going to be trying to advance causes, hey, having somebody
(11:10):
who's in your thrall, in your stead, in your debt
actually makes good sense. So I think that's what this
is about. It's not about Biden. He doesn't have any
future going forward. He's got thirteen days, and then for
the most part, we won't hear about him again until sadly,
you know, three or four years from now, I think
he'll die. And I hate to say that. I mean,
(11:31):
I hope he has a longer, healthier life remaining for him.
But based on the decline that we've seen in the
last four years, do you feel like Joe Biden's going
to be president, I mean, going to be alive and
vibrant for a decade from now, I don't. I mean,
I would put his life span, unfortunately, at five years
or less based on the trajectory that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And man, it's kind.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of dark, I know, sorry, but really kind of a
bullet I think it speaks though, to how exactly reckless
it was to even run him. I don't think Joe
Biden could survive four years. Leave aside whether he could
be president, we know he doesn't have the mental or
physical capacity to be president. I don't think he's going
to be alive for a full four year term from now.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
The handwriting is on the wall. What the way Democrats
do this? Senator Dianne Feinstein can't brush her own hair
and put on her own clothing, and she's a sitting
US Senator and her staff and everybody just covered it
up because she's a powerful person and they just wanted
to keep being at the power trough. That's disgusting. This
is gerontocracy time in a way that is is reckless.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What about the Texas congresswoman they just found out is
living in.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
A hospital center.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I mean the fact that we have I mean Nancy
Pelosi's walking around with a walker. The fact that we
have people who will just not retire is I think
a major danger to the United States going forward. Wisdom
is great, but at some point, if you can't fly
an airplane, you shouldn't be allowed to manage the United
(13:10):
States government. And we've got a lot of people who
are unable to do a lot of different jobs. Start
the year off by working your way towards saving as
much as one thousand dollars on your family cell phone bill.
If you're still with Verizon AT and t r TEA mobile,
switch to pure Talk today. Start saving money immediately. Puretalk
service on the same towers networks as the other companies
(13:30):
out there, giving you the same five G nationwide service.
My fourteen year old and my sixteen year old are
both on pure Talk Networks, and this year, there's no
need to spend eighty five or one hundred dollars per
person on your wireless bill. Pure Talk will give you
unlimited talk text, fifteen gigs of data with a mobile
hotspot for just thirty five bucks a month. That means
a family of four can save one thousand dollars a
(13:52):
year with pure Talk while enjoying America's most dependable five
G network. You can do a lot with that extra
thousand dollars that you're not having to spend on an
expensive cell phone bill. Switch to pure Talk by dialing
pound two five zero, saying the keywords Clay and Buck
again from your cell phone. Dial pound two five zero,
say Clay and Buck, and you'll save an additional fifty
(14:13):
percent off your first month with Puretalk, America's wireless company.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Mike drops that never sounded
so good. Find them on.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
The free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We've had some fun
talking about Trump's press conference, which we shouldn't mention. Basically,
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris never do whatever your thoughts
are on the variety of opinions that Donald Trump is sharing,
(14:49):
from how to handle things in the Middle East to
what to call the Gulf of Mexico going forward. He
gives you an unvarnished look at his particular policies and
positions on any given day that is pre detailed. And
Joe Biden had the fewest press conferences of any president
(15:10):
in the modern era because his brain doesn't work well
enough to be able to handle questions or remember, they
gave him the questions in advance and told him who
to call on, and he would even look down at
that piece of paper and say, Okay, I'm supposed to
call on so and so next. He knew everything, and
he still did a poor job of it on the
limited occasions when he actually did those events. Kamala Harris
(15:30):
never had an actual press conference in her entire presidential campaign. Now,
she stopped and answered questions occasionally from the media as
she walked across let's say, the runway to get on
a jet or talk to media on her plane, but
she never had a formal Hey, I'm going to stand
up here, and answer any question you have in her
(15:51):
entire presidential campaign. All right, with that in mind, let's
have a little bit of fun. Here is Trump deciding
to weigh in. I think this is Trump on the
restrictive nature of the U of shower heads, which we
were just talking about.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Listen, they want very very little water to go into
your dishwasher, almost none. And you know what people do,
They just keep pressing, pressing, pressing, keep it going. They
end up using more water. Likewise, washing machines. They want
in your washing machine to have very little water coming
out of the washing machine. So when you wash it clothing,
you have to wash it four times instead of once.
You end up using more water.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
We're a party of.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Common sense and things that I'm telling you now is
really all about common sense.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I love this so much. He's so right. And the
people that do all this efficiency, water efficiency, energy, just
light bulb light bulb efficiency. People want to I want
to strike, I want to read, I just clay. I
hate it so much, and he's so right. It's insane,
it's so dumb. But they are just people, you know what.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It is.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Also, so many of these libs and these people that
care so much about the environment because they don't time
to care about like the people in their own lives
and around them and themselves. They are just so unhappy.
They're just so unhappy, and they just want to find
a way to punish themselves. It's like it's like self
flagellation through weak washing machine.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I remember my wife was out shopping or something, and
she came back home to a hotel room and I
had somehow managed to get the lamp shade off of
the lamp, and it was like I was trying to read,
you know, like I had to hold my book in
my newspaper that I was reading, almost like against the
bulb to be able to see anything in the place.
I mean, and a lot of you, I bet have
(17:36):
experienced how ridiculous this is. You can't even see.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I used to remove the restrictor plate whenever I lived
in New York from my showers. And you know, it's
like you said in Seinfeld, I wanted to have something
where I could wash an elephant, you know what I mean.
I wanted the elephant washing shower head.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh, anyway, common sense returning to America sounds pretty amazing.

bit more testosterone in your life life, and that's what

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck and my own mind
from put on quite a show, quite a show today
in this press conference, I want to take some your
calls here eight hundred two A two two eight a two. Also,
we kicked off the question earlier and I know a
(19:07):
lot of the VIPs. Clay, I've already been weighing on this.
Should I watch Land man, I'm gonna tell you some
of you got a little mad at me, at least
on Twitter, because I thought that Yellowstone it jumped the shark.
It was a classic jump the shark. I'm sorry, I'm right.
I enjoyed the show. It was always extremely unrealistic and
kind of but I really enjoyed it. Anyway. It was
(19:29):
a lot of fun, super popular or whatever. But the
but the last season, the Kevin Coster thing, it just
didn't It didn't get and I don't like the way
it ended anyway. You can get mad at me, it's fine,
but be honest with yourself, like the show didn't end
the way it should have. The last season was is
You're right? It was a mediocre in the at best. Yeah. Yeah, media,
I mean it was real kind of you know, womp womp.
(19:52):
You know. It wasn't great, but we did. I have
been hearing from people that land Man is absolutely fantastic,
and we have We're talking about energy and oil and uh,
there's a speech that our team pulled from that I
think ties into Trump's attitude today, which is just like
can we America is the global global energy superpower? We
(20:16):
need to remember this. We talked so much about you know,
oh Ai, and our information based economy. Without our natural resources,
none of this is happening, okay, Without the oil and
natural gas that America produces, our lifestyle, the strength of
the dollar, all that, we're living in a whole different universe, everybody,
all right, if we had like some barren landscape that
(20:38):
didn't have the natural resources that we do, we would
be in a very very different position. And it's where
it's it's it's critical to remember that. And the Democrats,
it's just like a it's almost like a civilizational death
wish that they have, like they want us to be
living in poverty and misery because we're easier to control
or something. It's insane. This is the speech from land
(21:00):
Man where he goes into, yeah, we need oil. Everybody,
get with the program. Play it.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
We have one hundred and twenty year petroleum based infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Our whole lives depend on it.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
And hell, it's in everything that road we came in
on the wheels on ever car, every may including yours, sentennis,
rackets and lipstick and refrigerators and antihistamines, pretty much anything plastic,
your cell phones. We're going to run out of it
before we find it's replacement.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
It's the thing that's gonna kill us all as a species.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
No, the thing is going to kill us all is
running out before we find an alternative.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So Clay, I don't know how much they heard because
we hadn't f bomb in there.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
But this h This show is basically taking you into
the Texas oil field and explaining the significance of everything
in the oil and gas industry to a lot of
people that otherwise wouldn't see it. And I would say,
this is one thing that takes just one thing.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Half of half of the oil production goes into products.
That's what people need. We think of it so much
for what goes into our cars. Half of petroleum goes
into plastics, jellies, creams, you know, you know all these
different things. I mean, there's so much and this idea
(22:28):
that we're going to replace it with, you know, with windmills,
you want ai you want electric cars, you want all
these things. We are so far from being able to
power that with wind and solar it's laughable. And wind
and solar and they get into this too, requires a
whole lot of plastics and chips and things that require
a whole lot of petroleum. It's just this is this
(22:51):
is where the left is insane. I mean, this is
where they just don't meet with reality. It's a religion
for them.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
We criticize the finale of Yellows Own this as well.
I'll come back and give some praise. Taylor's shared and
has been a fantastic producer of new television shows. And
he gets this in that on his shows he often
will allow a liberal perspective on the environment. He did
(23:20):
this with Yellowstone where they had the uh sort of
left wing activist protesting against against ranches and cattle and
the entire Montana industry there. And here he's got a
woman who's out there making and sharing left wing arguments.
You said something that I think is really important, and
(23:42):
I try to win this argument in my house that
it doesn't necessarily go that well, recycling is almost one worthless.
Whatever we spend on recycling actually causes more use of
energy to collate the recycled materials than just throwing things
(24:02):
away and building things anew very often.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So the time that you spend.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Going out and putting your papers in one recyclable bin
and your plastics in another, and all this stuff is
almost entirely worthless and doesn't make any difference at all
for the larger environment.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I just want to say it. It's the truth. It's
like no one will talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And the other thing that this landman thing does a
great job of is everything that is supposed to be
renewable energy, whether it's solar panels, whether it's windmills, all
of it requires more energy than the energy energy.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That we have now. And this is also hugely important.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
When we don't use American oil and gas, we're actually
having to go and consume the oil and gas which
is actually less environmentally friendly that's produced by foreign coverments
that often don't support basic human rights.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So this is a real window into the mindset of
all this. With the Keystone XL pipeline and with the
Keystone Xcel pipeline, what you saw was even by the
Obama administration's owned State Department review the oil's coming out
of the ground. It's just a question of do you
(25:18):
pipe it west for the Asian markets or do you
pipe it across the US and we get benefit from
the transit fees and also just from you know, secure
access to energy that is going to be going to
a US port. And even though this is the key thing,
the CO two impact is going to be the same
either way. We just don't want to sully. The Obama
(25:41):
administration shuts down the Keystone AXL pipeline because they don't
want to sully their hands with it. That's so it's
not even about the environment. It's I don't want to
be involved with the dirty oil stuff, and so even
though it's not going to change anything, we shouldn't benefit
from it. Again, it's it's this is like, you know,
it's like a religious thing. It's like, you know, I
can't touch this, you know, this form of food because
(26:03):
I'm told that it's dirty or it's bad. I mean,
there's no scientific basis for this.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Let me climb out my soapbox again. All the people
that are worried about the environment and recycling and all
this stuff, they should actually be having kids because the
real threat to the world going forward is global mass
population collapse. So this is very often what happens with humans.
(26:28):
We get fixated on dangers that aren't actually the dangers
that we should be worried about, and we ignore this
looming danger that is far more significant, which is and
these people are the number one PI. If you have
convinced yourself that the world is going to end because
of climate change, you're unlikely to have kids, and so
(26:50):
all these people buck. If you look at the trajectories
of population over the next eighty years or so, the
global population is going to collapse by about half over
the next eighty two one hundred years based on the
data that we have right now. That's the real threat
to human civilization. In many of these most advanced countries Italy, Japan,
(27:11):
where they have incredible cultures and civilizations, they're actually collapsing
the fastest. That is, the most advanced civilized societies, which
have the greatest history are the ones that are declining
on the most rapid fashion.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Also. But for bringing it back to Biden and the
executive order in the closing days, I mean, it's just
so the whole thing is so pathetic to try and
stop offshore oil from being explored in these areas. You know,
this is going on, and it goes on all the
world and it's fine and it's safe. It would be
(27:45):
like saying we can't have an airline industry because occasionally
there's an airline crash, and that's effectively what you're doing.
What is the problem with the offshore drilling. The problem
with the offshore drilling, they'll tell you, is well, there
can be an there can be an accident. Well, that's
true of a lot of things. And so really what
it is is they just don't want They don't want
(28:06):
to do it because they have an ideological aversion oil bad.
It's like a child. They don't think about it beyond
that oil bad. Don't do oil. And you go a
whole on a second, you need oil, we all need oil,
and they go, yeah, but oil bad. No offshore drilling.
It's like the mob mentality for people who have replaced
(28:29):
actual belief in God with belief in Mother Earth. Do
you remember the big story which a lot of people
don't even get of, what was producing the electricity that
was going to be funding providing the juice for so
many electric vehicles In one part I think it was Michigan.
It was a coal plant, so they were going to
be increasing the amount of coal that they were using
(28:50):
so that they could provide the electricity to charge vehicles.
And people said, you know, actually it would be far
more efficient from an economic perspective if we just use
gas as opposed to you using co coal to create
electric charging opportunities. So look, a lot of these people
don't want to go into the actual details behind it.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It doesn't work. It's actually not a very big threat
for the world. In fact, it's I'm not sure it's
in the top twenty things that I care about right now.
And uh, and I understand that a lot of people
have bought into this idea. Oh my goodness, you know,
rising seas, we're going to die. Yeah, we're not.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Well, what you touch on is a unique thing about this.
This the climate climate issue, whatever they however you want
to talk. Remember they were calling it climate catastrophe for
a while. That was what they were trying to say,
and that doesn't really work for them. And that's after
they went from global warming to climate changes. We all know, Oh,
climate disruption. I'm sorry, that's what it was. Climate disruption. Usually, Clay,
we disagree with the others. There's we can agree there's
(29:48):
a problem, and we disagree about how to fix the problem.
Like we can agree that there's you know, there's too
much crime, and we say, well, the criminals are the problems,
the criminal justice system coddling them, and they say no,
it's guns and their argument is garbage. But whatever with this,
there's no problem, correct, Like they think there's a problem.
I don't see a problem at all. And that's why
it's really hard to even have a conversation with them.
(30:10):
And then they say, like, well, you're bought off by
big oil, which is delusional, right, because clearly that's not
that sounds great, I wish, but I'm not if extant.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I mean, we're happy to do it, but so far
we haven't been bought up by bigger If Exxon wants
to start doing live reads, we'll do exon live reies,
no problem. Instead, I'm gonna tell you about prize Picks,
which we are bought off by because I like it.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I love football.

and I think it may already be one of the finalists.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I know it's early in January.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It's hard to like call the clip of the year
in January, especially early January. But Sonny Hostin, who I
am confidently calling the dumbest person on daily television every
day in America. She's my number one, above Whoopee Goldberg, above, Joybahar, above,
Joy Read above, I know, Jake Tapper, whoever else you
(33:35):
want to put in the running.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Jake Tapper.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
By the way, if you paid attention to this, CNN's
in the middle of a Florida lawsuit that could cost it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
A ton of money.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
The guy refused to settle. Maybe we can have some
fun discussing the particulars of this case later in the week.
I think cnend's and potentially in trouble here. But Sonny
Hostin went on. Anniversary of January sixth was yesterday, as
all the three hundred and twelve electoral votes were being
counted for Donald Trump. Sonny Hostin said that this day, well,
(34:06):
it was like the Holocaust or like slavery.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
Listen, January sixth was an atrocity. It was one of
the worst moments in American history. When you think about
the worst moments in American history, you know, like World
War II, things that happened, you know, like the Holocaust.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Chattel, slavery.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
We need to never forget.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Okay, okay, Clay. Forty to sixty million people died in
the Second World War. Eleven million people died in the Holocaust.
Twelve million Africans were brought to the New World in chains.
One person died on January sixth, and it was a
woman who was shot by the police. That is it.
(34:49):
How do you compare these things and not sound like
a moron? How is that possible?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well, I think it's impossible, because she definitely sounded like
a moron. But I would even point this out Buck
for anybody out there. I mean, first of all, Sunny
Houston has a limited knowledge of history at all. But
if you're gonna cite the Holocaust as a negative in
American history, we actually liberated the survivors and fought the
Nazis to end the concentration camp. So even that if
(35:15):
she's using world history, we're actually the good guy.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, we're the good guys in the Second World War.
Yeah yeah, American history. I mean I think she meant
to say Pearl Harbor, but all you know, it would
be incredible. I mean, this is truly incredible, and like
there should be some contests and give money to charity
trying to see if the women of the view could pass,
like a basic US history test, like multiple choice twenty questions,
(35:43):
you know, who is the third President of the United States? Like,
you know what, I mean, just the most straightful what
year did the Civil War start? I mean, the most
basic stuff. I think they would get smoked, all of them.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
That's actually a brilliant idea, because we talk about illiteracy.
There is a I think this is why they've had
such fertile territory when they attack American history, because frankly,
we do such a poor job of teaching American history
that many kids out there are historically illiterate, and so
to your point, certainly a lot of media members are.
(36:19):
I mean, I would put myself I'm not sure I
would put myself in the ninety nine point nine percentile
for historical, particularly American historical nerddom. I think you and
I combined would destroy every necessarily that much to brag about.
We would destroy everybody in an American history in quiz
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Bol, I think I could do it if we had
to do it against them, and we had to read
it in ancient Greek
