This is a Big Story
New York Times exposé on President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen for issuing pardons, raising serious questions about his awareness and cognitive capacity. Clay and Buck dissect the implications of this report, suggesting internal panic within the Biden administration and a broader lack of transparency from the Department of Justice.
Trump's Ukraine Shift
Clay and Buck analyze President Donald Trump’s evolving stance on Ukraine. Trump now supports sending advanced offensive weapons, including Patriot missile systems, marking a significant policy shift. The hosts discuss the strategic calculus behind this move, its potential to pressure Vladimir Putin, and the broader implications for U.S. involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They also highlight the rapid evolution of drone warfare and the risks of mission creep.
Rouge Judges
Adeep dive into the Trump administration’s renewed focus on mass deportation and the legal challenges facing ICE officers, including a controversial federal court ruling that limits their authority. Border Czar Tom Holman is praised for his unwavering stance on immigration enforcement.
The conversation then shifts to the judiciary’s growing influence over immigration policy, with sharp criticism aimed at federal judges who are perceived to be obstructing enforcement efforts. The hosts argue that many judges, particularly those appointed during the Biden and Obama administrations, are acting as political operatives rather than impartial arbiters of the law.
A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to a critical analysis of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The hosts accuse her of prioritizing personal political beliefs over constitutional interpretation, contrasting her approach with that of Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan. This segment underscores concerns about judicial overreach and the erosion of public trust in the legal system.
We Dodged a Bullet
In a deeply emotional and historically resonant segment, the hosts reflect on the one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Buck Sexton proclaimed: "The country dodged a bullet." They recount the moment in vivid detail, likening its significance to 9/11 and the JFK assassination. The hosts propose turning the Butler site into a national monument to honor Trump’s survival, the bravery displayed that day, and the life lost. They argue that preserving the site would serve as a powerful reminder of the dangers of political violence and the resilience of American democracy.
