Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H1 - Clean Up on Aisle Crime
President Trump's press conference on his efforts to clean up crime in Washington, DC. He addressed criticism he received from former Jeb Bush comms director Tim Miller on MSNBC for his comments about wanting to reduce murder rates in American cities. The hosts noted Trump's ability to dominate news cycles with his DC crime initiatives while preparing for the country's upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations. They highlighted how Trump continues to take questions from the press regularly, contrasting this with the lack of "25th Amendment" discussions that surrounded his first term. The hour featured some lighthearted moments, including a debate about Buck's tennis serve speed after Clay's wife Lara expressed skepticism about Buck's claim of serving over 100 mph. Buck posted video evidence on social media, leading to audience engagement as listeners weighed in on the tennis serve controversy.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H2 - Lib White Women Are Nuts
Hour 2 kicks off with a lighthearted debate over whether Buck can serve a tennis ball at 100 mph, sparking a fun back-and-forth on athletic bets, speed guns, and personal sports anecdotes. From there, the conversation pivots sharply into politics and media bias, as Clay and Buck dissect a viral claim by a New York Times reporter dismissing D.C.’s crime crisis. The hosts slam the media’s reflexive anti-Trump stance and highlight the stark reality of violent crime in Washington, D.C., contrasting it with mainstream narratives. The hour also dives into the Democratic Party’s identity crisis, questioning its reliance on radical left policies and cultural mandates. Clay previews his upcoming September 16th debate with Stephen A. Smith, promising a fiery discussion on sports, politics, and culture. The hosts explore why they can’t find a single Democrat policy they agree with, while analyzing Kamala Harris’s surprising appeal to white women voters in 2024 despite losing ground with nearly every other demographic. Listeners weigh in with talkbacks, including a humorous defense of beards and a pointed comment on crime in D.C. The show then unpacks a viral rant from Bravo star Jennifer Welch, who suggested Trump supporters should be banned from multicultural restaurants—a moment Clay and Buck use to examine the anger and cultural disconnect among liberal white women. This sparks a broader critique of feminism, pop culture influences like Sex and the City, and how decades of messaging have shaped societal values. The topic inspires a candid discussion on the future of the Democratic Party, the growing shift of young men toward conservatism, and why cultural narratives matter in politics.

Legal Insurrection! High-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, a pivotal moment in global diplomacy. Scheduled for 11:30 AM Alaska time, the meeting is framed as a potential turning point in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with President Trump aiming to bring both sides to the negotiating table without dictating terms. The hosts explore the geopolitical implications, including Trump’s strategic tariffs on India for importing Russian oil, which they argue helped pressure Putin into attending the summit. The show also tackles the DC crime crisis, highlighting the Trump administration’s police intervention and the District of Columbia’s emergency legal challenge. Clay and Buck scrutinize the lawsuit, citing the president’s constitutional authority and the 1973 Home Rule Act. They discuss the broader impact of judicial activism, referencing past attempts to remove Trump from the ballot in states like Colorado and Maine, and label these efforts as a “legal insurrection.” CA Redistricting The redistricting wars between Texas and California, spotlighting Governor Gavin Newsom’s controversial push to redraw California’s congressional map in retaliation for Texas potentially gaining five Republican seats. The hosts dissect the political motivations behind Newsom’s move, suggesting it’s a strategic play to elevate his national profile ahead of a possible 2028 presidential run. They cite polling data showing two-thirds of Californians oppose Newsom’s redistricting plan, raising questions about its viability and impact. Clay and Buck explore the broader implications of gerrymandering, noting that Democrats have historically benefited from aggressive redistricting, especially in blue states like New York, Illinois, and California. They argue that illegal immigration and census misallocation have given Democrats a structural advantage in congressional seat allocation, potentially swinging future elections. Trump/Putin Summit President Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, a pivotal moment that could reshape the global narrative on the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck speculate on the potential for an immediate ceasefire, the media fallout, and how Democrats might respond if Trump successfully brokers peace.
