Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8

 

A Clay and Buck "See, I Told You So."  

 

The hosts discuss President Donald Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia, highlighting his efforts to secure a trillion-dollar Gulf investment in the U.S. economy. They also touch on positive economic indicators, including a drop in inflation to 2.3%, and call for the Federal Reserve to initiate interest rate cuts.

 

"We Called It" is a Clay and Buck "See, I Told You So."   A major segment of the hour is dedicated to the explosive revelations from an upcoming book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, which alleges that President Biden’s physical and cognitive decline was so severe that aides considered he might need a wheelchair post-election. Clay and Buck argue that legacy media outlets like CNN and NBC knowingly misled the public about Biden’s condition to protect his candidacy and defeat Trump. They assert that this media cover-up is part of a broader pattern of misinformation, comparing it to the media’s handling of COVID-19 and the Russia collusion narrative.

 

The hosts also criticize the mainstream media’s sudden shift in tone, suggesting that journalists are now attempting to rehabilitate their credibility by admitting Biden’s decline only after the election. They play a montage of past clips from CNN’s Jake Tapper, illustrating what they describe as a stark contrast between his previous defenses of Biden and his current reporting.

 

Clay and Buck further explore the political implications of Biden’s withdrawal from the race, the Democratic Party’s internal struggles, and Vice President Kamala Harris’s perceived weaknesses as a candidate. They speculate on the strategic missteps that led to Biden participating in the June 27th debate, which they believe was a turning point in the election cycle.

 

Trump in Saudi Arabia

 

President Trump’s high-profile visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he announced a historic $600 billion investment deal aimed at strengthening U.S.-Middle East relations. Trump’s speech emphasized peace, innovation, and a firm stance against a nuclear-armed Iran, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to global stability and economic diplomacy.

 

South African Refugees

 

A discussion centered on immigration, race politics, and media hypocrisy, with a spotlight on the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s decision to welcome approximately 50 white South African migrants into the United States. This hour dives deep into the cultural and political backlash from the left, exposing what the hosts describe as the Democratic Party’s selective outrage and racial double standards.

 

Clay and Buck begin by highlighting the stark contrast between the left’s outrage over a small group of legal, white South African immigrants and their years-long support for millions of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. They argue that the backlash reveals a deeper issue within the Democratic Party—what they call an entrenched anti-white sentiment and a fractured identity politics coalition that is increasingly alienating working-class and minority voters.

 

The hosts explore the deteriorating conditions in South Africa, including racially motivated land seizures,

1. Prescription Drug Pricing Reform

The first part of the podcast discusses a policy initiative aimed at reducing the cost of prescription drugs in the United States. Key points include:

• "Most Favored Nation" Pricing: The U.S. would pay the lowest price available globally for prescription drugs, matching the lowest price paid by any other country.
• Examples of Price Disparities: Our podcast cites stark contrasts in drug prices between the U.S. and countries like Australia, Sweden, and the UK.
• Executive Orders: Trump’s administration directed agencies to:
  • Prevent foreign countries from undercutting U.S. drug prices.
  • Allow Americans to buy drugs directly from manufacturers at the lowest global price.
  • Impose rules if pharmaceutical companies fail to comply.
• Criticism of the Biden Administration: The text claims that Biden reversed Trump-era reforms and negotiated higher drug prices, allegedly due to influence from pharmaceutical lobbyists.

---

2. U.S.-China Trade Deal

The second part shifts focus to a trade agreement between the U.S. and China. Highlights include:

• Tariff Reductions:
  • U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods reduced from 145% to 30%.
  • Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods reduced from 125% to 10%.
• Negotiation Outcomes:
  • China agreed to reduce retaliatory tariffs and open markets to U.S. goods.
  • Both countries committed to further discussions on trade and fentanyl trafficking.
• Framing: The deal is portrayed as a major win for the U.S., correcting trade imbalances and protecting American jobs and industries.

🏫 Massive School Choice Victory in Texas & National Opportunity

Key Highlights:

• Historic Legislation in Texas: Texas passed the largest and most comprehensive school choice program in the U.S., allocating $1 billion for Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). These accounts provide up to $11,000 per student, and up to $30,000 for students with disabilities, allowing parents to choose the best educational setting for their children.

• Scope and Impact: With Texas representing about 10% of the U.S. student population, this move is seen as a game-changer for education reform nationwide.

• Political Strategy: Cruz detailed a multi-year political campaign, including endorsing primary challengers against anti-school choice Republicans, to build legislative support. He emphasized that this was not a partisan issue but a geographic and institutional battle, especially in rural areas where public schools are major employers.

• Federal Push: Cruz is advocating for a federal school choice initiative through budget reconciliation, which would allow passage with only Republican votes. The proposal includes $10 billion annually in federal tax credits for donations to scholarship-granting organizations, aiming to replicate Texas’s success on a national scale.

☢️ Stopping a Nuclear Iran

Key Points:

• Opposition to Iran Nuclear Deal: Cruz strongly opposes any new nuclear deal with Iran, citing the failures of the Obama-era agreement and the dangers of appeasement. He supports President Trump’s red line: Iran must fully dismantle its nuclear program, including shutting down centrifuges.

• National Security Threat: Cruz argues that Iran, under the Ayatollah, is a direct threat to the U.S. and Israel, citing attempts to assassinate U.S. officials and support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

• Policy Contrast: He contrasts the “maximum pressure” strategy under Trump—which included strict sanctions and oil embargoes—with the “appeasement” approach of the Biden administration, which he claims enabled Iran to rebuild its economy and fund terrorism.

• Call to Action: Cruz emphasizes the need for firm U.S. policy and warns against trusting Iran, advocating for either diplomatic dismantlement or, if necessary, military action to neutralize the threat.

1. Supreme Court Decision on Transgender Military Ban:

   • The Supreme Court allowed President Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the military to go into effect with a 6-3 decision. This policy bars individuals with gender dysphoria or those who have undergone gender transition from serving.
   • The decision was seen as a victory for Trump, emphasizing a focus on military readiness and cohesion over social experiments.
   • We emphasize that the military's primary role is to defend the country, not to serve as a platform for social issues.

2. USAID Corruption:

   • The podcast discusses a case of corruption involving a USAID official who steered contracts to a friend in exchange for secret payments.
   • The official, Matthew Zahui, refused to allow auditors access to financial records, which raised suspicions. It was later discovered that he had directed contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to a friend's company, which then made payments to his personal bank account.
   • We highlight the lack of accountability and the need for serious investigations and prosecutions in such cases.

3. Defunding NPR:

   • The podcast supports President Trump's efforts to defund NPR (National Public Radio), arguing that it is a partisan propaganda outlet.
   • It provides examples of NPR's content that the authors find objectionable, such as stories on cannibalism, criticisms of the Declaration of Independence, and coverage of LGBTQ+ issues.
   • We also argue that taxpayer money should not fund media outlets that promote a radical agenda.

1. Executive Order on Gain of Function Research:

   • President Trump issued an executive order restricting federal funding for gain of function research, which involves experimenting with viruses and pathogens that could potentially trigger a pandemic.

   • The controversy around gain of function research became prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic, with theories suggesting the virus might have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

2. Self-Deportation Program:

   • The Trump administration introduced a program offering $1,000 and travel assistance to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the United States.
   • This initiative aims to save government resources, as deporting an undocumented immigrant costs approximately $17,000.

   • President Trump is also engaging in trade talks with China, aiming to address tariffs and improve trade relations.
