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

Our three of Clay and Bucks starts right now. Thanks for being with me everybody.

Uh, this is Bucks. I'm in solo. This week Clay is on vacation, having a great time with

his family in Italy. He'll be back next week. The hopefully the economy will still be around next week.

That would be good. There'll still be a U.S. economy. Things are certainly moving in

the wrong direction right now. You have about 20 banks that have been hit as a result of the

failure of Silicon Valley bank SVB that happened at the end of last week.

By administration has stepped in and they've worked out some deal. They don't want to call

a bailout. It's something else. Uh, a deal where the depositors are fine. I have a feeling that

executives, all of whom I guarantee are big Democrat donors. If they don't donate any money to

politicians, they'll be fine too. They'll be very rich at the end of all of this. And so the loss is

will just be covered up. There are other banks that are under serious stress right now. You have

20 banks that have been, uh, rocked a bit by this. And you have Bill Acman, the hedge fund billionaire,

who is saying that we better make sure everybody feels safe about their deposits in the bank or

else, this thing could melt down the economy. Let me also say there are problems even if they stop

this crisis. This is exposing some systemic problems that we have in the economy right now.

I want to get into some of those problems and how they're going to affect all of us here in a moment.

But first, let's take a look at what Joe Biden is saying. Not only is Joe Biden telling you that

this is going to be fine, right? Not only is Joe Biden telling you that the money that is in the

bank will be there for you when you need it. That's those are his words. He's also, as of this

morning, bragging about how great the Biden economy is. I'm being serious. He's really saying

that things right now are really good in this economy. Biden's doing a great job according to Joe Biden.
