I don't think that was he meant. Probably he meant that Clojure took a bunch of things from Lisp, but there is a lot in Lisp, which is not in Clojure - for example because of the limitations of the JVM eco-system (for example creating an executable image in SBCL of a running Lisp is an easy task, whereas in Clojure it involves a complex & slow machinery like GraalVM) or design limitations imposed by its developers (like a compiler written in Java and no interpreter) - plus it seems not to be an open language design - more or less the language is driven by a single company listening to its community and sometimes not.
