BUCK: Clay, this story was interesting to me. I don’t really… It’s more interesting that this even existed, to me — or, rather, the messaging of what was on these monuments. Did you see? “The Georgia Bureau of Investigation,” according to Fox here, “has released surveillance video in the search of those responsible for setting off an explosion at the Georgia Guidestones Monument, which they say they’ve now demolished.”

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: It was a granite tourist attraction in Elberton, Georgia, which the state says is known as “America’s Stonehenge,” and it was damaged after unknown individuals exploded a detonation device. Interesting. “There was a 10-part message that espoused the conservation of mankind in future generations,” but there was actually kind of a weird… I’m talking about now what was written on this. Clearly someone didn’t like the messaging.

There was something about how we should limit the population I think to 500 million globally. It was this Ehrlich Population Bomb — pardon the expression — situation where there was kind of espousing that the only way to keep the planet in stasis and stable is if we limit human population. I didn’t even know this was a thing in Georgia until they blew it up, and now I’m learning about it.

CLAY: I read about it. I think the Wall Street Journal maybe had a piece about it as a tourist attraction, but also that it was kind of weird and people didn’t understand exactly why it existed and it had become very popular on the internet. And then somebody just decided to blow it up. I don’t really understand all of the backstory here, but it is kind of crazy. First of all, it’s not that similar to Stonehenge. (laughing) So, America’s Stonehenge is not actually very similar at all to Stonehenge.

BUCK: Stonehenge is so interesting, just to throw this out there, because it is so old and because they moved these things before we had excavators and all the vroom-vroom things that people do today.

CLAY: Thousands of years old, as opposed to something that somebody put up, I think, in like the early 2000s.

BUCK: I think it was… Was it the earlier 2000s, is that right, or was it the seventies when they got together and did it? I don’t know. I gotta check this out.

CLAY: It’s relatively recent. A lot of our listeners were alive for this, as opposed to Stonehenge. Have you been to Stonehenge before?

BUCK: No. I gotta go to the U.K. I haven’t been a while.

CLAY: I’ve been. It was… You know.

BUCK: Should we have Boris Johnson on, by the way? He’s got some time on his hands, you know?

CLAY: (laughing) I wonder who they’re gonna pick now as the new leader in England. For those of you who don’t know, Boris Johnson has officially stepped down. Hopefully, Joe Biden’s gonna follow him soon, in short order, because effectively Biden’s power is gonna end in November, and we should mention — we’ve been hinting at this — there is now a report that that tax increase is coming from the Democrats starting —

BUCK: I thought you were teasing our big Nashville election party. I was a little excited. Now you are telling tax increases?

CLAY: I am excited about that. I’m not excited about —

BUCK: Massive.

CLAY: — this massive tax increase at the absolute latest time that they could do it. It is inching closer and closer to a reality. They are recognizing, Democrats are, that they’re not going to have power. Potentially the White House and Congress again, maybe for a decade or more. And so they’re trying to ram through a tax increase.

BUCK: Georgia Stonehenge started in 1979, I’m seeing here. And it did have this anti-population-growth message on it. Did a lot of people go to this thing? Was this a thing?

CLAY: No. I’ve been going to Georgia my whole life. I didn’t even this existed ’til, like, three or four years ago, and then it got popular on the internet, and it got so popular on the internet that some crazy dude decided he had to blow it up.

BUCK: I guess so. I think there is a… There has been more attention on this recently. I’m trying to figure… I’m trying to learn more here. But, anyway, in general, I’m not a fan of the Malthusian ethos.

CLAY: It’s been proven to not be true.

BUCK: It’s not true! Ohhh, wait you mean the consensus of brilliant scientists who tell us they can control our lives and control human population because they know what the future holds are wrong, Clay? This is a huge shock to anyone who doesn’t know history.

CLAY: And, unfortunately, the consequences of all this, we talked about, going on yesterday in Holland, and now we got all sorts of issues with Joe Biden going on bended knee to Saudi Arabia. This keeps getting worse.
