Masterclass on Handling the Press

Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, gives a masterclass on handling the mainstream media. Clay and Buck play his fiery exchange with a reporter from CNN trying to create a false narrative around Venezuela. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comments on buying Greenland. Clay and Buck debate why territorial expansion is now considered taboo despite historical U.S. land acquisitions like the Virgin Islands purchase in 1917. They challenge the narrative that colonization was inherently negative, arguing Western civilization’s spread improved global living standards. The conversation raises provocative questions about Denmark’s control over Greenland and whether a plebiscite could pave the way for U.S. ownership.

ICE Officer Shooting

ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where an immigration enforcement operation turned violent after a protester allegedly attempted to ram officers with her vehicle. Clay and Buck dissect the incident, emphasizing the legal justification for defensive action and the growing hostility toward federal law enforcement fueled by progressive politicians. They highlight alarming statistics on assaults and death threats against ICE agents and slam the hypocrisy of Democrats who champion law enforcement during January 6th hearings but vilify officers enforcing immigration law.

George Floyd 2.0?

Clay and Buck analyze video evidence showing the SUV accelerating toward an officer, reinforcing claims of self-defense. They blast Mayor Jacob Frey’s inflammatory remarks, including his demand for ICE to “get the F out” and his assertion that self-defense is “BS,” arguing these statements fuel unrest and prejudice any future trial. The hosts predict local prosecutors will pursue charges against the ICE agent for political gain, despite federal supremacy protections, and warn of potential riots reminiscent of the George Floyd era.

TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn

The conversation expands with TN Senator Marsha Blackburn’s insights, labeling the attack as “domestic terrorism” and citing alarming statistics: assaults on federal officers up 1,300% and death threats up 8,000%. Blackburn condemns sanctuary city policies for creating unsafe conditions and stresses the need for cooperation with ICE to prevent violent confrontations. She also weighs in on broader Trump administration initiatives, praising the capture of Nicolás Maduro, dismantling of Venezuelan drug cartels, and the strategic plan to stabilize Venezuela through controlled oil sales—30 to 50 million barrels earmarked for U.S. markets. The senator highlights the geopolitical importance of Greenland, noting its independence movement, U.S. military presence, and its role in countering Russian and Chinese influence. Discussion also touches on Cuba’s shifting dynamics, as economic pressure from Venezuela’s collapse and China’s reduced support sparks democratic aspirations among younger Cubans.
