Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Bucks Xt and Show Podcast.

Welcome in Monday edition. Clay Travis Bucks Xt and Show, appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we roll closer and closer towards Christmas.

And I hope all of you are having a fantastic early Christmas season.

Want to talk right off the top here. We've got a loaded show for you.

The latest COVID insanity from Jen Sockie and from Dr. Fauci, inflation and the impact on build back better.

What does the build back better bill actually cost?

JK Rowling, did you see this Harry Potter creator herself is in a feud over the transgender agenda and how absurdly ridiculous it is.

We're going to talk with the Nash D'Souza potentially others. All of that headed your direction, but right off the top here, a lot of discussion about the tornadoes that swept through the mid south and Illinois late Friday night early Saturday morning across much of the country Kentucky, bearing the brunt of that tornado onslaught.

And for many of you out there, I know you have seen the videos and seen the tragic results of that tornado line that swept through the mid south Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Illinois a little bit all of that area Alabama and beyond.

I was in the middle of that buck.

Friday night in bed about three o'clock, the storms came through the Nashville, which had fairly significant damage as well.

And the whole house got woken up around 2 30 or 3 a.m. Everybody, the tornado sirens are going off. Everybody gets out of bed, put on the television, see where exactly the tornado warnings are.

I know a lot of you in our listening area may have ended up in your storm shelter of some form or fashion, get the kids, sometimes if the threats near you, put the pillows and the beds inside of a pantry closet or wherever bathroom, wherever you may bend inside the interior of your home.

And it's particularly always, it feels like it's a high rate of the time, buck, when you live in a tornado area that tornado threats come through in the middle of the night, which makes it a little bit scarier because you really can't see what's going on around you, the lightning flashes are going off.

And certainly our prayers are with so many people in our listening area who had significant consequences, whose family had significant consequences, friends and family lost lives. There were a lot of people inside of some of these Amazon factory warehouses, it appears that we're working when the storms hit.

And so for anybody who lives in sort of the tornado universe, the tornado alley Midwest, mid south where tornadoes come through on a somewhat regular basis, it is regularly chilling, terrifying. Now a positive buck is that the data reflects the despite all the history on it's thanks to our ability to forecast tornadoes and severe weather conditions.

The number of people dying from severe weather is actually declining typically over time over the last couple of decades over the last 50 years or so you wouldn't know it by the way the media covers it.

They immediately jumped to there is a tragedy involving a natural disaster climate change almost almost right away. I mean, here's the FEMA director, just understand this is Biden's FEMA director.

So you don't get this job. I mean, you don't get any job in the federal government really unless you're always spouting the line about climate change. Here she is.

This is going to be our new normal and the effects that we're seeing from climate change are the crisis of our generation.

We're taking a lot of efforts at FEMA to work with communities to help reduce the impacts that we're seeing from these severe weather events and help to develop system wide projects that can help protect communities.

Okay, now let's just start with this is going to be the new normal. No, that's not true. This is an aberrant event based on all the data you can see this was a particularly bad series of tornadoes right.
