Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful blend of economic analysis, foreign policy insight, and media critique, all centered around the achievements and challenges of President Donald Trump's administration. The hour opens with a breakdown of newly negotiated trade deals with the EU and UK, including a 15% tariff on 70% of European imports. These deals are framed as a major win for American manufacturing and energy, with projections of $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in new investments by 2028.
The hosts then pivot to foreign policy, highlighting Trump’s frustration with stalled negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They discuss the possibility of secondary sanctions and increased economic pressure on Russia, while also examining the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Trump’s commitment to delivering substantial U.S. food aid to starving civilians is presented as both a moral imperative and a strategic move to stabilize the region.
Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck emphasize the strength of the U.S. economy, citing record stock market highs, preserved tax cuts, and collapsing violent crime rates—even acknowledged by outlets like The New York Times. They argue that Trump has delivered on his core campaign promises: economic growth, border security, and law enforcement support.
A major segment is devoted to the media’s handling of the Russia hoax and the Epstein case. Tulsi Gabbard, now Director of National Intelligence, is praised for exposing the depth of the intelligence community’s efforts to undermine Trump. The hosts criticize mainstream media for ignoring these revelations and accuse Democrats of weaponizing the Epstein case to politically damage Trump, rather than seeking justice for victims.
Vice President JD Vance is spotlighted for his articulate defense of the administration against media attacks, particularly regarding the lack of transparency under previous administrations. The hosts argue that Democrats only began caring about Epstein when they saw an opportunity to divide Trump from his base.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in third hour play in Buck kicks off now,
and as we started off the show, just to recap
for a moment, the biggest news of the day is
the truly momentous trade deal or trade deals that have
been agreed to. And when you look at this and
(00:20):
you see where we are.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And where we.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Were told we would be, it is pretty remarkable, pretty remarkable.
Donald Trump has accomplished so European countries, seventy percent of
European products will face a fifteen percent tariff when the
end of the United States. We have an EU deal
and we have a UK Deal's that's really interesting to see.
(00:49):
And they're trying to come up with ways to suggest
that this is not good for the US. But given
what we've already seen, which is prices have not gone off,
inflation has not gone up, and these deals have been negotiated,
I think this is this is excellent deal. Bolster's America's economy.
This is from the White House. So they've laid out
(01:10):
some I gonna tell you where it's coming from. But
these are the facts. Okay, these are the facts. Deal
Bolster's America's Economy, Manufacturing E will purchase seven hundred and
fifty billion dollars in US energy, make new investments of
six hundred billion in the United States all by twenty
twenty eighth. And this is going to bring a lot
more a lot more money into US treasury coffers. And
(01:37):
it's no free rides anymore, no more of what we've
seen in the past, where other countries like or the
EU has all these tariffs in place and we do
nothing in response to it. So that's a big win.
And to go from where we were, oh my gosh,
Trump is going to ruin the economy to where we
are now. The economy is really feeling like it's on
(01:58):
the precipice of a boom. It is a great thing.
And I think that the President serves a tremendous amount
of credit for getting these done.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Two other areas though, Clay, So we know the trade
deals looking great right now, economy just look at the market,
right is did the market is it tanking in response
to these deals? Or is the market looking great in
response to these deals? And I know that that's not everything.
Clay talks about the four oh one k's, which is important.
It's an indicator right or strong. It's an indicator of
(02:28):
what people who can make money by being right or
actually thinking people can say right. If you ask some
Democrat think tank, they'll get ten economists who are like,
this is terrible, because they're paid to say it's terrible.
The reason the market is interesting is it shows you
when people have to have skin in the game to
think what's going to happen in the future, what are
(02:49):
they really doing with their money? And our business is
investing or not, our consumers buying or not. It's it
gives you a snapshot at least of sentiment that is
in just completely corroded with partisanship. So that's one part
of it. But two areas clay where we're gonna need
to see some I think some improvement to be sure
(03:12):
in what we've already seen. Is one on Russia. And
I appreciate the Trump. This was in turn Turnbury, Scotland
today in this meeting with care Starmer UK Prime Minister.
This has cut three. Trump was just honest, he said
with the Russia thing, it's been a total, a total
(03:33):
zero so far in terms of getting where we need
to go.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Play three.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I'm gonna make a new deadline of about ten, ten
or twelve days from today.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
There's no reason in waiting. There's no reason in waiting.
It's fifty days. I want to be generous, but.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
We just don't see any progress being made.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
A couple of things there, Clay. One is that's an
honest assessment of where things are. And I've been saying
that to you for a while, which is saying that
to everyone for a while, which is why we are
sending more munitions now, and we're backing up the Ukrainian forces.
Trump came in thinking I'm gonna get a deal done here,
and he feels like Putin is being a really dishonest,
(04:15):
dishonest party in this, and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
People says Putin's terrible.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Of course he is, yeah, but in a negotiation like this,
he's got to understand that there can be consequences for
Russia for ticking Trump off, which I think is what's
going on right now. But this is going to get
a lot more focused from Trump. He now says there's
a maybe a ten or twelve day extension here, but
we could see secondary sanctions. We could see some really
(04:40):
some turning of the screws a bit here on the
economic front to try to bring the Ukraine War to
a close.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
It feels to me like Putin and I said this
at the start of the summer, and I hope I'm right,
at least in the chronology here, that this is still
a region where you can't really move much men or
material during the winter, and the winter hits earlier there
than it does most places. So you're talking about maybe
(05:07):
three months from this point where you could still be
advancing that Putin is just trying to ring as much
additional land as he can and maybe in the winter
will be amenable to the idea of, hey, let's just
go ahead and draw new borders, and this is where
the border is going to be drawn, where effectively the
(05:29):
trench warfare is to a large extent. Because I've said
this and I don't think we've ever gotten a really
good answer, and I think this is one of the
reasons why getting a ceasefire negotiated is so difficult. At
this point, knowing what Putin's objectives are is still almost impossible.
Next year, I believe, will be four years of this
(05:49):
war going on. And if you don't know what the
objective is that Putin would consider to be victory in
some way for Russia, how can you negotiate a settlement,
because what exactly he wants doesn't seem to me to
be in the public purviews that makes sense. What can
someone point to and say, hey, I understand, yes, initially
(06:10):
I think he wanted to take over all of Ukraine
and run it as some sort of puppet kingdom of Russia.
That has not been allowed to happen. I don't think
it would be allowed to happen. So what are the
reasonable expectations or goals of Putin right now? Because we
can say, well, we know what Ukraine wants. Ukraine wants
all of Russia victim from all Ukrainian lands.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's not going to happen either.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
But if you knew what the objectives of Putin truly were,
then you could potentially work towards some form of peace.
And I think the challenges we don't know. I would
also say the challenge in Gaza at this point is
nobody knows what Hamas actually wants or even if they're
willing to negotiate. And so you're kind of in a
(06:53):
situation where it seems to me Ukraine and Israel are
both willing to negotiate pieces peace agreements, but that Hamas
or the representatives of Gaza other than Hamas and Russia aren't,
and so what can Trump do? I think it's why
he's getting frustrated on that front.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And let's speak to the issue in Gaza right now,
because this is growing in public attention very rapidly, as
images and stories are coming out of Gaza about not
just the devastation but the starvation that it has faced
(07:31):
as a result of well obviously lack of food, but
there's not enough effort being made to get food into
civilian areas, and there are accusations that the Israelis are
moving too slowly to allow those food trucks to get
and they are letting some food trucks to get in.
This becomes incredibly contentious, as you can imagine, very quickly.
Here is Trump speaking on what he is aware of
(07:55):
as going on in Gaza right now, his feelings on
this plate too.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
The United States will be helping with the food. You know,
we have a lot of access to food. We got
a lot of food ourselves, and we're going to bring
it over there. We're also going to make sure that
they don't have batteris stopping people. You know, you've seen
the areas where they actually have food, and the.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
People are screaming for the food in there.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
They're thirty five forty yards away, and they won't let
them because they have lines that are set up and
whether they're set up by Hamas or whoever, but they're
very strict lines. So we have to get rid of
those lines. But we're going to be getting some good,
strong food. We can save a lot of people. I mean,
some of those kids. That's real starvation stuff. I see it,
(08:36):
and you can't fake that. So we're going to be
even more involved.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So Klay, Now there's the president saying. President Trump's saying
that they're going to the US is going to be
providing substantial food assistance to make sure that no one
is starving in Gaza, which is obviously morally the right
thing to do. And I think it goes to one,
you know, how can he help broker and end to
(09:06):
that situation. Yeah, it's a little bit of Trump is
doing so well on some of the domestic American issues,
specifically the economy and the border, that I think now
the administration is in a position where they can spend
some time focused on foreign policy goals that are still
in our interest and still matter to us. You know,
we don't want to keep paying for the Ukraine War forever,
(09:27):
for example, But he can externalize some of the energy
of the administration in this moment.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I think things are so good that you can start
to and this is what I said last week, you
can start to nitpick Trump because things are so good, right.
I mean, economy roaring, tax cuts preserved all time, stock
market highs, borders shut down on a level that frankly,
I don't think anybody ever really even thought was possible.
(09:57):
That's how good things are in terms of bor security, crime.
As I said last hour, even the New York Times
is saying, my goodness, violent crime is collapsing. It's not
getting a lot of attention. So then you start to nitpick.
You say, okay, well the Ukraine War is still going on.
That's true, Gaza. You still haven't solved exactly what the
(10:21):
solution is going to be to end the conflict that
started on October seventh.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There you can look at the Epstein thing.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Right, but they're all tertiary or secondary issues to the
average American. When Trump ran on economy, border crime, and
if you doubt me, go back and look at the
twenty promises that Trump made in his platform as he
was running in twenty twenty four that Marcia Blackburn and
team worked on distilling. I don't know that we've ever
(10:51):
had a president do more of exactly what he said
he would do than Trump. I mean, regardless of what
you think. A lot of politicians say they'll do things
and then they get into office. Biden's the perfect example
of this and do to a large extent, the opposite
of what they said in their campaign. Trump has directly
delivered on everything that he said he would do. I
(11:14):
really do believe that now. Is he perfect, No, no
one is. But this is the best six months that
I can remember any president ever having. And I think
that's where the nitpicking starts, because when you get the
big issues right, then people start to try to pick
in prod at you, at things that are not as substantial,
that frankly are imperfect, that could be better. And that's
(11:36):
where we are.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yes, So we'll continue to bring you the areas of
winning and the victories that Trump is delivering, but also
look at some of the challenges and there's going to
be those two and Russia and Ukraine right now clearly
putin thinks that he can continue to just push and
he'll get more in whatever the end deal is. And
(11:58):
it seems the only way to turn that around is
to elevate the costs. Even warrior Clay Trump said that
right now they think seven thousand people a week are
being killed in that war. Yeah, seven thousand soldiers. That's
on both sides. Seven thousand a week. It's just it's horrific.
(12:21):
You know, it's not something that we are seeing a
lot of You can see a lot of it online.
Actually there's a lot of footage of what's going on,
but you don't see a lot of news coverage of
this or But it just would be in the entire
world's interest for this to end as soon as possible,
and obviously in our interest. So one we can't get
dragged even further into it, and two we don't have
to keep paying for all the things that go boom
(12:42):
and bang over there. That would be a really good
place for the kind that's where Trump wants us to be.

mark and we're going to start to do unique Hey,
ask a question, be funny, it doesn't have to be
super serious for YouTube to be able to reach out
to the younger people. Over ninety four thousand subscribers on
(14:50):
the YouTube channel right now, so we have almost taken
that over one hundred. I think it was like seventy thousand,
just like two weeks ago when I started saying, hey,
take us over one hundred. So I'm impressed. Search out
my name Clay Travis, search out Buck Sexton, and you
will be able to go all right several different things. Uh,
(15:11):
podcast listener, let's see Mike and San Diego listening on
COG uh, he's got a suggestion.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
FF.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yes, Mike and San Diego, you put get Sweeney on
your show, and you know one has been fie your
YouTube viewership by Azilians to get to find out what
she thinks about your using her as finmy heal hook
for teens.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
All right, Ali, you can reach out to Sydney Sweeney's team.
I'm sure they're desperate for more media availabilities and you
can offer her the opportunity to come on. I'm not
expecting that to be successful, but you can make that request.
Brian and Raleigh Durham GG. He's listening on one oh
six point one f m W TKK, a city where
(15:56):
we are regularly number one. We love you guys. What's
you got for one day?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Don't be bashing the marijuana too much.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
We like our marijuana.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We do like that. That's some good stuff, and we
like our vapes. Everything else could pretty much go.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
I don't know what percentage of this audience do you
think smokes pot on a regular basis?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Buck blow five, I don't know what.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
To be fair, I don't know what percentage of the
American population smokes marijuana on a regular basis. Either, I
would not think. But my point on it is just
it is far stronger than I think many people realize
who might have smoked marijuana in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties,
the distilled version of marijuana that is being sold today
(16:41):
is a different magnitude than that. And this came up
because we were talking about kids are drinking and smoking
and engaging in unhealthy behavior at small, far lower rates
than in the past. Connie and Alabama's got something for us. Connie,
thanks for listening, fire Away.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Yes, Russia, I always use words that I didn't know
or didn't know the meaning of them, and I would
always look them up and then I would try to
use them in the coming days. Well, you just used
the word tertiary.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But I use it, or did BUCK use it? I
think you used it all right.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I think that's on you, Clay Well.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Tertiary, I would say, is not the primary. It's sort
of a secondary p number ish effect of something that's
going on. Say on secondary, isn't it? It's like tertiaries?
What's after secondary? Okay, so beyond secondary? Not the primary
would be the way that I would describe that word.
And if I did not describe it in a way
(17:41):
that is good. We will come back and we will
have vocabulary lessons with Clay and Buck when we return.
In the meantime, I want all of you to go
get signed up right now for a trust.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And or a will. You'd never know when your day
is going to come.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I like to think that Buck and I are relatively
young and have a lot of decades still to go.
We're both dads and we wanted to make sure that
our families were taken care of. We both have wills
and trust done, even though we hopefully are going to
have aids in decades still to live into the future.
You never know when that moment's gonna come. And if
you spend a lot of time worried about what your
(18:18):
family's going to do after you're gone, or your concerned
that they might end up fighting squabbling without you to
engage in refereeing that dispute in the family. After all,
what happens every Thanksgiving? Why not get signed up for
a will and trust right now. You can get twenty
percent off. I know it's a little bit intimidating, but
they will make it easy. It will not cost you
(18:40):
a ton of money, and it will help to ensure
that what you care about after you're gone is taken
care of. Go to trustinwill dot com slash clay. That's
Trustinwill dot com slash clay.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Russia, Russia, Russia. You guys all remember that, right, big hoax.
Very frustrating for Trump that the deals it the first term,
but it is something that we have new and important
information about courtesy of our friend Tulci Gabbert, the Director
of National Intelligence, and over the weekend she was speaking
about some of what she has found now that she
(19:13):
is the DNI who sits atop the entire intelligence community,
including the Director of Central Intelligence, which is currently Dcia Ratcliffe.
But Tulci Gabbard was talking about what she is, what
she is seeing, and how there's just no interest from
the media that was trying to use the Russia hoax
(19:37):
to destroy Trump in the first term, to tell the truth. Now,
I don't think that's surprising anybody, but we will continue
to follow this and to talk to you about it.
Here she is the DNI on Saturday on Fox News,
Fox and Friends talking about what she's found. Play nine.
Speaker 8 (19:56):
It's been interesting to see how the mainstream media has
either refuse to cover this story at all. The headlines
or the lack thereof of newspapers Washington Post, New York
Times and others in the days following this release have
actually been quite deafening in their lack of coverage, and
it's interesting to see how when they do cover this,
(20:17):
they don't actually cover the revelations that these intelligence reports
and the evidence that we released actually conveys to the
American people. They simply talk about their criticisms of it,
or convey Democrat politicians criticisms of it, but none of
them actually dealing with the truth that has been revealed.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
They don't discuss play anything in the specifics. Because we
now have more information than ever before about just how
manufactured this entire takedown effort really, the soft coup against
Trump was. This was now It's tough because people like
you and me, we've been following this very closely, so
(21:03):
we already knew it was a soft coup. That hasn't changed.
That's only being bolstered. I don't think it's that the
conclusions are different, but the strength of the details and
the scope of the conspiracy is even worse than anybody
on our side of this could have known beforehand. Now
you see this new information. They really were just cooking
(21:25):
up a get rid of Trump campaign in the IC
and the intelligence community.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Yeah, and uh, I think it's just a again right now.
And we talked about this, and I give I gave
Trump credit. I don't know if you saw it when
Trump came out and said, hey, Obama is going to
be protected by the Supreme Court ruling on presidential power,
which we talked about a lot last week. I think
(21:51):
this is primarily a function of getting the historical record
in order and also pointing out how much of a
lie this all is. And sadly, everybody listening to us
right now, as you just laid out, knew this already.
There are still huge portions of the Democrat base that
(22:13):
believe Russia rigged the twenty sixteen election for Trump. That's
what they believe. And so the fact that this was
in any way allowed to happen as in some form
or fashion without any sort of significant consequences is I
think just incredibly unfortunate. And by the way, this is
(22:38):
I think also important. I want to play this because
I think Jade Vance did an incredible job answering questions
from reporters. I don't know how many of you have
seen this, but cut thirty one, an AP reporter asked
him if report this is where.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
We are right.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
A lot of media are not going to cover the
revelations of Gabbard. They're not going to cover the success
of the economy, the success of the border. I give
credit to New York Times for the actually covering over
the weekend the fact that violent crime is in many
ways collapsing. I don't think that's coincidental that cops are
(23:15):
able to do their jobs and suddenly violence crime, violent
crime starts to collapse. But notice what the attacks have become.
They're actually now attacking Trump for not doing in six
months something that Democrats didn't do in four years. And
this is the AP trying to attack jd Vance and
(23:37):
President Trump over Epstein. Listen to cut thirty one. Understand
what's going on now. The media and the Democrats don't
want any consequences for Epstein. They didn't even ask about
this for four years. Now they're trying to tie it
because they don't have any other criticisms to jd Vance
and Trump. I just want you to listen to jd Vance.
(23:58):
This is cut thirty one and how well he handles
this question, and think about his answer Cut thirty one.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
I got to make an observation that there's an interesting
thing about this case that the American media.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Scenms to totally ignore.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
For four years under Joe Biden's Department of Justice, the
media didn't give a damn about the Epstein files or
about the Epstein case. For literally twenty years, the story
about this scumbag, and he is a scumbag pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
He's dead now, but for twenty years you had Obama
and George W. Bush's Department of Justice go easy on
(24:33):
this guy. They didn't fully investigate the case, they didn't
show any.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Curiosity about the case. And now Donald J.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
Trump is asking his Department of Justice to show full transparency.
And somehow that's a criticism of Donald J. Trump and
not Barack Obama and George W.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Bush.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
If you want to criticize the people who aren't showing
full transparency, you ought to go after the administrations that
went easy on Jeffrey Epstein, the administrations that concealed this
case for twenty years, and the administrations that failed to
show full transparency.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I think it's well said again I want as much
as they can possibly release out about the Epstein case.
But the idea that Democrats in some way have clean hands,
or the media that's suddenly pretending that this is a
big deal despite not covering it by and large during
the entire Biden regime. If you are a Democrat like
(25:28):
Hakeem Jefferies or someone of that ilk Chuck Schumer, now
that is trying to make the Epstein case a really
big story. I actually give credit because Joe Scarborough, I
believe it was Congressman Raskin from Maryland. He had on
and we played that audio for you and he said, hey,
if this is such a big deal to you, how
come you didn't mention it for four years when Joe
Biden was in office and he couldn't even answer it.
(25:50):
I mean, that's on Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough recognizing
what's going on here. They are trying to find They
are desperate to find something to attack Trump on.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Now for them say something on the on the on
the whole ebsence and I really, I really mean this.
This is going to sound, uh, this is gonna sound
like I'm being super silious. It's another good word, you know,
it's not not quite tertiary, but it's not a bad word.
It's gonna sound like I'm being a little salty, but
I really think the Democrats once Biden took office, you know,
(26:23):
the auto Pen administration was so hell bent on Jan
six prosecutions and then prosecutions of Donald Trump. Right, so
the criminal cases against Trump, the Jan six defensive democracy
thing that I don't know how much bandwidth they really
had to focus on anything else. Well, I mean the
thing the most.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I really mean this.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I think the single most important focus of Biden's administration
was prosecuting J six people, destroying their lives and destroying
Donald Trump using the legal system, and that was I
think that was tier one. I don't think there was
anything that was above that. So I'm not saying this
erase is the point about why didn't they do anything
(27:04):
with the Epstein files. But they really were monomaniacal in
their focus on J six Trump, Destroy Trump, prosecute him,
throw him in prison. And as you said, Biden was
even making snarky remarks about how Trump was gonna go
to jail, he was gonna let Trump go to prison everybody,
meaning he of course colluded in the whole process. But
(27:25):
he wasn't gonna pardon him. He was gonna let Trump
go to prison. That was the plan. So it's worth
remembering that.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
So I think again, there's a legal doctrine, clean hands
doctrine where you can't come in and claim suddenly you
care when you're being engaged in dirty behavior yourself. Now,
if Trump's supporters, I think this is very fair, want
to argue, hey, what is the next what do we
think is the next important thing?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Right?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
And the reality is there are twenty different things that
are being worked on at any given moment, forty different things,
fifty different things inside of the White House that a
lot of people are not paying attention to, and it
doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's actually making
the country better in my opinion. But if Trump supporters
want to argue, okay, economy, border crime, also men and
(28:16):
women's sports, and we need to figure out what's going
on with Epstein, all those things, I think that's very valid.
But be careful, be careful that you aren't providing the
slings and arrows that Democrats are using to try to
attack Trump and keep him from doing all of the
things that you want him to be doing. Does that
make sense. I think sometimes you have to be careful.
(28:39):
In attacking somebody or disagreeing with somebody publicly, you are
creating the arsenal with which the opposition then attacks because
the deffert they're dishonest, The media is dishonest. They didn't
care at all about this. They're using Epstein not to
try to get justice. They're using Epste to attack Trump.
(29:01):
There is a very big difference between those two things.
Democrats don't care about what happened to Epstein. They don't
care about his victims. If they did, they would have
focused on in the next four years. They just want
to get Trump. And this is where I think Trump's
frustration comes through. To the extent I'm channeling Trump, he
sees that I'm trying to do. This is Trump's perspective.
Everything we can to get as much information out publicly
(29:23):
about the Epstein files as we can. Democrats don't want that.
The media doesn't want that. They just want to attack
Trump and try to connect him to Epstein. Trump sees that,
and I think that's when he's answering and giving the
answers that sometimes are frustrating. It's because he's seeing the
next level and analyzing the motivations here as opposed to
(29:44):
the actual story, if that makes sense, Because I think
everybody's generally in agreement that people who engage in violent
acts and people who engage in criminal sex acts should
be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I
think that's something that the vast maj majority of Americans
all agree on, and certain the vast majority of Trump
supporters do.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
There's also just a very simple and straightforward observation that
we can all share here, which is Democrats only started
caring about the Epstein situation when they realized that there
was a way to agitate Trump and try to separate
Trump from his supporters on this.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yes, yeah, yeah, this whole, this whole thing, this all Epstein,
and that we got to look into the Epstein. They know,
they didn't care about this at all, but they see,
you know, they see a way to try to throw
a little gasoline on the fire of a little a
little bit of an issue with Trump and some of
the Maga bass and they're just trying to go after
that politically. So now I'm not surprised that they're doing that.
(30:41):
Of course they're going to do that. I knew they
would as soon as there was this, uh, this static
that came up on this issue. And I think it's
one of the reasons Trump also gets so frustrated now
with the questions about it, because the Democrats and the
media that are asking about this, it's they're just trying
to create that they don't actually care what the files
could all be played pages. They don't care. They just
(31:02):
know that anything they can do to try to get
Trump in his base to be at odds on something
they love. And that's all that they see this as.
They don't see this as you know, finding out, you know,
what the elites really are doing. They do they don't
care about any of that stuff because a lot of
the people that are a lot of the names that
come up very clearly Democrat names that come up in
the in the world of Epstein stuff, so anyway, or
(31:23):
people that make big donations to Democrats. All right, let's
talk about steaks. So summertime. I love cooking steak and

review process. That's a conversation for another time. But the
good news is there's some cool CIA stories in there
(34:06):
that I finally can tell you for the first time

Great stuff, Buck, you'll love this. You were out.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I talked about growing up.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Unfortunately we lost Malcolm Jamal Warner aka THEO Huxtable and
the Hulk Hogan for if you were in the eighties,
like two iconic figures.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Of any of our youths.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I when I was ten years old, I think the
coolest guy on the planet to me was my dad,
and then Hulk Hogan may have been number two. It
was like my Dad and then Hulk Hogan, Like I
think that might have been the list.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I'm impressed that your dad was above Hulk Cogan because
Hulk Hogan was I think my dad was above Hulkgan too, But.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I mean the putting food on the time for us
as much as I love the Hulk of Maniacs and
all you know, someone one was feeding us one was not.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
You will think about this now more. I think now
that you're a dad and you start to watch more
shows as your son gets older. But I went off
because think about The Cosby Show and all the eighties
and nineties sitcoms. The fact that there are not strong
dad figures in basically anywhere in pop culture. Uh and
a lot of people reacted to that. Steve and Cincinnati
(35:27):
wanted to react.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
Here's aa hey, your Friday Third Hour was really powerful
and spot on when you're comparing the nuclear family shows
in the eighties, even the dysfunctional families were great to watch.
Think about like Roseanne married with children. Even the Simpsons
had a dad in the house. Yes, the butt of
the jokes, but a dad, a working dad in the house,
(35:50):
providing for his family. Keep up the good work, Clay
and welcome back Buck.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Thank you good.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I just I agree that Homer Simpson, though you love
Homer even though he gets made fun of him. All
the dads are there, the other one, Carl Winslow Family Matters, White, black,
didn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Carl Winslow reaction BB here our thost.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Names, your bit here on where have all the dads gone?
Speaker 5 (36:11):
And I'll fit contact and how great they were in
the nineties.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
And I'm a white male and I used to think
Carl Winslow is like the best dad in the world
and a great role model.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I think we need that back on television again.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I love I love the show Family Matters, but I
watch Family Matters all the time.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
I think, and you'll, I think, sign on to this.
Dad's in a sitcom. Nuclear family is ripe, people desperately wanted.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, yeah,
Welcome in third hour play in Buck kicks off now,
and as we started off the show, just to recap
for a moment, the biggest news of the day is
the truly momentous trade deal or trade deals that have
been agreed to. And when you look at this and
(00:20):
you see where we are.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And where we.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Were told we would be, it is pretty remarkable, pretty remarkable.
Donald Trump has accomplished so European countries, seventy percent of
European products will face a fifteen percent tariff when the
end of the United States. We have an EU deal
and we have a UK Deal's that's really interesting to see.
(00:49):
And they're trying to come up with ways to suggest
that this is not good for the US. But given
what we've already seen, which is prices have not gone off,
inflation has not gone up, and these deals have been negotiated,
I think this is this is excellent deal. Bolster's America's economy.
This is from the White House. So they've laid out
(01:10):
some I gonna tell you where it's coming from. But
these are the facts. Okay, these are the facts. Deal
Bolster's America's Economy, Manufacturing E will purchase seven hundred and
fifty billion dollars in US energy, make new investments of
six hundred billion in the United States all by twenty
twenty eighth. And this is going to bring a lot
more a lot more money into US treasury coffers. And
(01:37):
it's no free rides anymore, no more of what we've
seen in the past, where other countries like or the
EU has all these tariffs in place and we do
nothing in response to it. So that's a big win.
And to go from where we were, oh my gosh,
Trump is going to ruin the economy to where we
are now. The economy is really feeling like it's on
(01:58):
the precipice of a boom. It is a great thing.
And I think that the President serves a tremendous amount
of credit for getting these done.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Two other areas though, Clay, So we know the trade
deals looking great right now, economy just look at the market,
right is did the market is it tanking in response
to these deals? Or is the market looking great in
response to these deals? And I know that that's not everything.
Clay talks about the four oh one k's, which is important.
It's an indicator right or strong. It's an indicator of
(02:28):
what people who can make money by being right or
actually thinking people can say right. If you ask some
Democrat think tank, they'll get ten economists who are like,
this is terrible, because they're paid to say it's terrible.
The reason the market is interesting is it shows you
when people have to have skin in the game to
think what's going to happen in the future, what are
(02:49):
they really doing with their money? And our business is
investing or not, our consumers buying or not. It's it
gives you a snapshot at least of sentiment that is
in just completely corroded with partisanship. So that's one part
of it. But two areas clay where we're gonna need
to see some I think some improvement to be sure
(03:12):
in what we've already seen. Is one on Russia. And
I appreciate the Trump. This was in turn Turnbury, Scotland
today in this meeting with care Starmer UK Prime Minister.
This has cut three. Trump was just honest, he said
with the Russia thing, it's been a total, a total
(03:33):
zero so far in terms of getting where we need
to go.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Play three.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I'm gonna make a new deadline of about ten, ten
or twelve days from today.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
There's no reason in waiting. There's no reason in waiting.
It's fifty days. I want to be generous, but.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
We just don't see any progress being made.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
A couple of things there, Clay. One is that's an
honest assessment of where things are. And I've been saying
that to you for a while, which is saying that
to everyone for a while, which is why we are
sending more munitions now, and we're backing up the Ukrainian forces.
Trump came in thinking I'm gonna get a deal done here,
and he feels like Putin is being a really dishonest,
(04:15):
dishonest party in this, and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
People says Putin's terrible.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Of course he is, yeah, but in a negotiation like this,
he's got to understand that there can be consequences for
Russia for ticking Trump off, which I think is what's
going on right now. But this is going to get
a lot more focused from Trump. He now says there's
a maybe a ten or twelve day extension here, but
we could see secondary sanctions. We could see some really
(04:40):
some turning of the screws a bit here on the
economic front to try to bring the Ukraine War to
a close.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
It feels to me like Putin and I said this
at the start of the summer, and I hope I'm right,
at least in the chronology here, that this is still
a region where you can't really move much men or
material during the winter, and the winter hits earlier there
than it does most places. So you're talking about maybe
(05:07):
three months from this point where you could still be
advancing that Putin is just trying to ring as much
additional land as he can and maybe in the winter
will be amenable to the idea of, hey, let's just
go ahead and draw new borders, and this is where
the border is going to be drawn, where effectively the
(05:29):
trench warfare is to a large extent. Because I've said
this and I don't think we've ever gotten a really
good answer, and I think this is one of the
reasons why getting a ceasefire negotiated is so difficult. At
this point, knowing what Putin's objectives are is still almost impossible.
Next year, I believe, will be four years of this
(05:49):
war going on. And if you don't know what the
objective is that Putin would consider to be victory in
some way for Russia, how can you negotiate a settlement,
because what exactly he wants doesn't seem to me to
be in the public purviews that makes sense. What can
someone point to and say, hey, I understand, yes, initially
(06:10):
I think he wanted to take over all of Ukraine
and run it as some sort of puppet kingdom of Russia.
That has not been allowed to happen. I don't think
it would be allowed to happen. So what are the
reasonable expectations or goals of Putin right now? Because we
can say, well, we know what Ukraine wants. Ukraine wants
all of Russia victim from all Ukrainian lands.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's not going to happen either.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
But if you knew what the objectives of Putin truly were,
then you could potentially work towards some form of peace.
And I think the challenges we don't know. I would
also say the challenge in Gaza at this point is
nobody knows what Hamas actually wants or even if they're
willing to negotiate. And so you're kind of in a
(06:53):
situation where it seems to me Ukraine and Israel are
both willing to negotiate pieces peace agreements, but that Hamas
or the representatives of Gaza other than Hamas and Russia aren't,
and so what can Trump do? I think it's why
he's getting frustrated on that front.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And let's speak to the issue in Gaza right now,
because this is growing in public attention very rapidly, as
images and stories are coming out of Gaza about not
just the devastation but the starvation that it has faced
(07:31):
as a result of well obviously lack of food, but
there's not enough effort being made to get food into
civilian areas, and there are accusations that the Israelis are
moving too slowly to allow those food trucks to get
and they are letting some food trucks to get in.
This becomes incredibly contentious, as you can imagine, very quickly.
Here is Trump speaking on what he is aware of
(07:55):
as going on in Gaza right now, his feelings on
this plate too.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
The United States will be helping with the food. You know,
we have a lot of access to food. We got
a lot of food ourselves, and we're going to bring
it over there. We're also going to make sure that
they don't have batteris stopping people. You know, you've seen
the areas where they actually have food, and the.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
People are screaming for the food in there.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
They're thirty five forty yards away, and they won't let
them because they have lines that are set up and
whether they're set up by Hamas or whoever, but they're
very strict lines. So we have to get rid of
those lines. But we're going to be getting some good,
strong food. We can save a lot of people. I mean,
some of those kids. That's real starvation stuff. I see it,
(08:36):
and you can't fake that. So we're going to be
even more involved.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So Klay, Now there's the president saying. President Trump's saying
that they're going to the US is going to be
providing substantial food assistance to make sure that no one
is starving in Gaza, which is obviously morally the right
thing to do. And I think it goes to one,
you know, how can he help broker and end to
(09:06):
that situation. Yeah, it's a little bit of Trump is
doing so well on some of the domestic American issues,
specifically the economy and the border, that I think now
the administration is in a position where they can spend
some time focused on foreign policy goals that are still
in our interest and still matter to us. You know,
we don't want to keep paying for the Ukraine War forever,
(09:27):
for example, But he can externalize some of the energy
of the administration in this moment.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I think things are so good that you can start
to and this is what I said last week, you
can start to nitpick Trump because things are so good, right.
I mean, economy roaring, tax cuts preserved all time, stock
market highs, borders shut down on a level that frankly,
I don't think anybody ever really even thought was possible.
(09:57):
That's how good things are in terms of bor security, crime.
As I said last hour, even the New York Times
is saying, my goodness, violent crime is collapsing. It's not
getting a lot of attention. So then you start to nitpick.
You say, okay, well the Ukraine War is still going on.
That's true, Gaza. You still haven't solved exactly what the
(10:21):
solution is going to be to end the conflict that
started on October seventh.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There you can look at the Epstein thing.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Right, but they're all tertiary or secondary issues to the
average American. When Trump ran on economy, border crime, and
if you doubt me, go back and look at the
twenty promises that Trump made in his platform as he
was running in twenty twenty four that Marcia Blackburn and
team worked on distilling. I don't know that we've ever
(10:51):
had a president do more of exactly what he said
he would do than Trump. I mean, regardless of what
you think. A lot of politicians say they'll do things
and then they get into office. Biden's the perfect example
of this and do to a large extent, the opposite
of what they said in their campaign. Trump has directly
delivered on everything that he said he would do. I
(11:14):
really do believe that now. Is he perfect, No, no
one is. But this is the best six months that
I can remember any president ever having. And I think
that's where the nitpicking starts, because when you get the
big issues right, then people start to try to pick
in prod at you, at things that are not as substantial,
that frankly are imperfect, that could be better. And that's
(11:36):
where we are.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yes, So we'll continue to bring you the areas of
winning and the victories that Trump is delivering, but also
look at some of the challenges and there's going to
be those two and Russia and Ukraine right now clearly
putin thinks that he can continue to just push and
he'll get more in whatever the end deal is. And
(11:58):
it seems the only way to turn that around is
to elevate the costs. Even warrior Clay Trump said that
right now they think seven thousand people a week are
being killed in that war. Yeah, seven thousand soldiers. That's
on both sides. Seven thousand a week. It's just it's horrific.
(12:21):
You know, it's not something that we are seeing a
lot of You can see a lot of it online.
Actually there's a lot of footage of what's going on,
but you don't see a lot of news coverage of
this or But it just would be in the entire
world's interest for this to end as soon as possible,
and obviously in our interest. So one we can't get
dragged even further into it, and two we don't have
to keep paying for all the things that go boom
(12:42):
and bang over there. That would be a really good
place for the kind that's where Trump wants us to be.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
We like our marijuana.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We do like that. That's some good stuff, and we
like our vapes. Everything else could pretty much go.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
I don't know what percentage of this audience do you
think smokes pot on a regular basis?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Buck blow five, I don't know what.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
To be fair, I don't know what percentage of the
American population smokes marijuana on a regular basis. Either, I
would not think. But my point on it is just
it is far stronger than I think many people realize
who might have smoked marijuana in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties,
the distilled version of marijuana that is being sold today
(16:41):
is a different magnitude than that. And this came up
because we were talking about kids are drinking and smoking
and engaging in unhealthy behavior at small, far lower rates
than in the past. Connie and Alabama's got something for us. Connie,
thanks for listening, fire Away.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Yes, Russia, I always use words that I didn't know
or didn't know the meaning of them, and I would
always look them up and then I would try to
use them in the coming days. Well, you just used
the word tertiary.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But I use it, or did BUCK use it? I
think you used it all right.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I think that's on you, Clay Well.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Tertiary, I would say, is not the primary. It's sort
of a secondary p number ish effect of something that's
going on. Say on secondary, isn't it? It's like tertiaries?
What's after secondary? Okay, so beyond secondary? Not the primary
would be the way that I would describe that word.
And if I did not describe it in a way
(17:41):
that is good. We will come back and we will
have vocabulary lessons with Clay and Buck when we return.
In the meantime, I want all of you to go
get signed up right now for a trust.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And or a will. You'd never know when your day
is going to come.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I like to think that Buck and I are relatively
young and have a lot of decades still to go.
We're both dads and we wanted to make sure that
our families were taken care of. We both have wills
and trust done, even though we hopefully are going to
have aids in decades still to live into the future.
You never know when that moment's gonna come. And if
you spend a lot of time worried about what your
(18:18):
family's going to do after you're gone, or your concerned
that they might end up fighting squabbling without you to
engage in refereeing that dispute in the family. After all,
what happens every Thanksgiving? Why not get signed up for
a will and trust right now. You can get twenty
percent off. I know it's a little bit intimidating, but
they will make it easy. It will not cost you
(18:40):
a ton of money, and it will help to ensure
that what you care about after you're gone is taken
care of. Go to trustinwill dot com slash clay. That's

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Russia, Russia, Russia. You guys all remember that, right, big hoax.
Very frustrating for Trump that the deals it the first term,
but it is something that we have new and important
information about courtesy of our friend Tulci Gabbert, the Director
of National Intelligence, and over the weekend she was speaking
about some of what she has found now that she
(19:13):
is the DNI who sits atop the entire intelligence community,
including the Director of Central Intelligence, which is currently Dcia Ratcliffe.
But Tulci Gabbard was talking about what she is, what
she is seeing, and how there's just no interest from
the media that was trying to use the Russia hoax
(19:37):
to destroy Trump in the first term, to tell the truth. Now,
I don't think that's surprising anybody, but we will continue
to follow this and to talk to you about it.
Here she is the DNI on Saturday on Fox News,
Fox and Friends talking about what she's found. Play nine.
Speaker 8 (19:56):
It's been interesting to see how the mainstream media has
either refuse to cover this story at all. The headlines
or the lack thereof of newspapers Washington Post, New York
Times and others in the days following this release have
actually been quite deafening in their lack of coverage, and
it's interesting to see how when they do cover this,
(20:17):
they don't actually cover the revelations that these intelligence reports
and the evidence that we released actually conveys to the
American people. They simply talk about their criticisms of it,
or convey Democrat politicians criticisms of it, but none of
them actually dealing with the truth that has been revealed.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
They don't discuss play anything in the specifics. Because we
now have more information than ever before about just how
manufactured this entire takedown effort really, the soft coup against
Trump was. This was now It's tough because people like
you and me, we've been following this very closely, so
(21:03):
we already knew it was a soft coup. That hasn't changed.
That's only being bolstered. I don't think it's that the
conclusions are different, but the strength of the details and
the scope of the conspiracy is even worse than anybody
on our side of this could have known beforehand. Now
you see this new information. They really were just cooking
(21:25):
up a get rid of Trump campaign in the IC
and the intelligence community.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Yeah, and uh, I think it's just a again right now.
And we talked about this, and I give I gave
Trump credit. I don't know if you saw it when
Trump came out and said, hey, Obama is going to
be protected by the Supreme Court ruling on presidential power,
which we talked about a lot last week. I think
(21:51):
this is primarily a function of getting the historical record
in order and also pointing out how much of a
lie this all is. And sadly, everybody listening to us
right now, as you just laid out, knew this already.
There are still huge portions of the Democrat base that
(22:13):
believe Russia rigged the twenty sixteen election for Trump. That's
what they believe. And so the fact that this was
in any way allowed to happen as in some form
or fashion without any sort of significant consequences is I
think just incredibly unfortunate. And by the way, this is
(22:38):
I think also important. I want to play this because
I think Jade Vance did an incredible job answering questions
from reporters. I don't know how many of you have
seen this, but cut thirty one, an AP reporter asked
him if report this is where.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
We are right.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
A lot of media are not going to cover the
revelations of Gabbard. They're not going to cover the success
of the economy, the success of the border. I give
credit to New York Times for the actually covering over
the weekend the fact that violent crime is in many
ways collapsing. I don't think that's coincidental that cops are
(23:15):
able to do their jobs and suddenly violence crime, violent
crime starts to collapse. But notice what the attacks have become.
They're actually now attacking Trump for not doing in six
months something that Democrats didn't do in four years. And
this is the AP trying to attack jd Vance and
(23:37):
President Trump over Epstein. Listen to cut thirty one. Understand
what's going on now. The media and the Democrats don't
want any consequences for Epstein. They didn't even ask about
this for four years. Now they're trying to tie it
because they don't have any other criticisms to jd Vance
and Trump. I just want you to listen to jd Vance.
(23:58):
This is cut thirty one and how well he handles
this question, and think about his answer Cut thirty one.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
I got to make an observation that there's an interesting
thing about this case that the American media.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Scenms to totally ignore.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
For four years under Joe Biden's Department of Justice, the
media didn't give a damn about the Epstein files or
about the Epstein case. For literally twenty years, the story
about this scumbag, and he is a scumbag pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
He's dead now, but for twenty years you had Obama
and George W. Bush's Department of Justice go easy on
(24:33):
this guy. They didn't fully investigate the case, they didn't
show any.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Curiosity about the case. And now Donald J.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
Trump is asking his Department of Justice to show full transparency.
And somehow that's a criticism of Donald J. Trump and
not Barack Obama and George W.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Bush.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
If you want to criticize the people who aren't showing
full transparency, you ought to go after the administrations that
went easy on Jeffrey Epstein, the administrations that concealed this
case for twenty years, and the administrations that failed to
show full transparency.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I think it's well said again I want as much
as they can possibly release out about the Epstein case.
But the idea that Democrats in some way have clean hands,
or the media that's suddenly pretending that this is a
big deal despite not covering it by and large during
the entire Biden regime. If you are a Democrat like
(25:28):
Hakeem Jefferies or someone of that ilk Chuck Schumer, now
that is trying to make the Epstein case a really
big story. I actually give credit because Joe Scarborough, I
believe it was Congressman Raskin from Maryland. He had on
and we played that audio for you and he said, hey,
if this is such a big deal to you, how
come you didn't mention it for four years when Joe
Biden was in office and he couldn't even answer it.
(25:50):
I mean, that's on Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough recognizing
what's going on here. They are trying to find They
are desperate to find something to attack Trump on.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Now for them say something on the on the on
the whole ebsence and I really, I really mean this.
This is going to sound, uh, this is gonna sound
like I'm being super silious. It's another good word, you know,
it's not not quite tertiary, but it's not a bad word.
It's gonna sound like I'm being a little salty, but
I really think the Democrats once Biden took office, you know,
(26:23):
the auto Pen administration was so hell bent on Jan
six prosecutions and then prosecutions of Donald Trump. Right, so
the criminal cases against Trump, the Jan six defensive democracy
thing that I don't know how much bandwidth they really
had to focus on anything else. Well, I mean the
thing the most.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I really mean this.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I think the single most important focus of Biden's administration
was prosecuting J six people, destroying their lives and destroying
Donald Trump using the legal system, and that was I
think that was tier one. I don't think there was
anything that was above that. So I'm not saying this
erase is the point about why didn't they do anything
(27:04):
with the Epstein files. But they really were monomaniacal in
their focus on J six Trump, Destroy Trump, prosecute him,
throw him in prison. And as you said, Biden was
even making snarky remarks about how Trump was gonna go
to jail, he was gonna let Trump go to prison everybody,
meaning he of course colluded in the whole process. But
(27:25):
he wasn't gonna pardon him. He was gonna let Trump
go to prison. That was the plan. So it's worth
remembering that.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
So I think again, there's a legal doctrine, clean hands
doctrine where you can't come in and claim suddenly you
care when you're being engaged in dirty behavior yourself. Now,
if Trump's supporters, I think this is very fair, want
to argue, hey, what is the next what do we
think is the next important thing?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Right?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
And the reality is there are twenty different things that
are being worked on at any given moment, forty different things,
fifty different things inside of the White House that a
lot of people are not paying attention to, and it
doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's actually making
the country better in my opinion. But if Trump supporters
want to argue, okay, economy, border crime, also men and
(28:16):
women's sports, and we need to figure out what's going
on with Epstein, all those things, I think that's very valid.
But be careful, be careful that you aren't providing the
slings and arrows that Democrats are using to try to
attack Trump and keep him from doing all of the
things that you want him to be doing. Does that
make sense. I think sometimes you have to be careful.
(28:39):
In attacking somebody or disagreeing with somebody publicly, you are
creating the arsenal with which the opposition then attacks because
the deffert they're dishonest, The media is dishonest. They didn't
care at all about this. They're using Epstein not to
try to get justice. They're using Epste to attack Trump.
(29:01):
There is a very big difference between those two things.
Democrats don't care about what happened to Epstein. They don't
care about his victims. If they did, they would have
focused on in the next four years. They just want
to get Trump. And this is where I think Trump's
frustration comes through. To the extent I'm channeling Trump, he
sees that I'm trying to do. This is Trump's perspective.
Everything we can to get as much information out publicly
(29:23):
about the Epstein files as we can. Democrats don't want that.
The media doesn't want that. They just want to attack
Trump and try to connect him to Epstein. Trump sees that,
and I think that's when he's answering and giving the
answers that sometimes are frustrating. It's because he's seeing the
next level and analyzing the motivations here as opposed to
(29:44):
the actual story, if that makes sense, Because I think
everybody's generally in agreement that people who engage in violent
acts and people who engage in criminal sex acts should
be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I
think that's something that the vast maj majority of Americans
all agree on, and certain the vast majority of Trump
supporters do.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
There's also just a very simple and straightforward observation that
we can all share here, which is Democrats only started
caring about the Epstein situation when they realized that there
was a way to agitate Trump and try to separate
Trump from his supporters on this.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yes, yeah, yeah, this whole, this whole thing, this all Epstein,
and that we got to look into the Epstein. They know,
they didn't care about this at all, but they see,
you know, they see a way to try to throw
a little gasoline on the fire of a little a
little bit of an issue with Trump and some of
the Maga bass and they're just trying to go after
that politically. So now I'm not surprised that they're doing that.
(30:41):
Of course they're going to do that. I knew they
would as soon as there was this, uh, this static
that came up on this issue. And I think it's
one of the reasons Trump also gets so frustrated now
with the questions about it, because the Democrats and the
media that are asking about this, it's they're just trying
to create that they don't actually care what the files
could all be played pages. They don't care. They just
(31:02):
know that anything they can do to try to get
Trump in his base to be at odds on something
they love. And that's all that they see this as.
They don't see this as you know, finding out, you know,
what the elites really are doing. They do they don't
care about any of that stuff because a lot of
the people that are a lot of the names that
come up very clearly Democrat names that come up in
the in the world of Epstein stuff, so anyway, or
(31:23):
people that make big donations to Democrats. All right, let's

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I talked about growing up.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Unfortunately we lost Malcolm Jamal Warner aka THEO Huxtable and
the Hulk Hogan for if you were in the eighties,
like two iconic figures.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Of any of our youths.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I when I was ten years old, I think the
coolest guy on the planet to me was my dad,
and then Hulk Hogan may have been number two. It
was like my Dad and then Hulk Hogan, Like I
think that might have been the list.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I'm impressed that your dad was above Hulk Cogan because
Hulk Hogan was I think my dad was above Hulkgan too, But.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I mean the putting food on the time for us
as much as I love the Hulk of Maniacs and
all you know, someone one was feeding us one was not.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
You will think about this now more. I think now
that you're a dad and you start to watch more
shows as your son gets older. But I went off
because think about The Cosby Show and all the eighties
and nineties sitcoms. The fact that there are not strong
dad figures in basically anywhere in pop culture. Uh and
a lot of people reacted to that. Steve and Cincinnati
(35:27):
wanted to react.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
Here's aa hey, your Friday Third Hour was really powerful
and spot on when you're comparing the nuclear family shows
in the eighties, even the dysfunctional families were great to watch.
Think about like Roseanne married with children. Even the Simpsons
had a dad in the house. Yes, the butt of
the jokes, but a dad, a working dad in the house,
(35:50):
providing for his family. Keep up the good work, Clay
and welcome back Buck.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Thank you good.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I just I agree that Homer Simpson, though you love
Homer even though he gets made fun of him. All
the dads are there, the other one, Carl Winslow Family Matters, White, black,
didn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Carl Winslow reaction BB here our thost.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Names, your bit here on where have all the dads gone?
Speaker 5 (36:11):
And I'll fit contact and how great they were in
the nineties.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
And I'm a white male and I used to think
Carl Winslow is like the best dad in the world
and a great role model.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I think we need that back on television again.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I love I love the show Family Matters, but I
watch Family Matters all the time.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
I think, and you'll, I think, sign on to this.
Dad's in a sitcom. Nuclear family is ripe, people desperately wanted.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, yeah,
