Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

 

Consequence Culture 

 

A deep dive into the media firestorm surrounding the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel following controversial remarks about the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. Clay and Buck break down the timeline of events, beginning with Kimmel’s inflammatory comment, the backlash from affiliate networks like Nexstar and Sinclair, and the broader implications for free speech, cancel culture, and media accountability.

 

The hosts explore how Kimmel’s statement, which falsely implied political motivations behind Kirk’s murder, triggered a wave of affiliate boycotts and public outrage. They analyze the role of corporate media, particularly ABC and Disney, in navigating the fallout, and highlight the demands from Sinclair for a public apology and donation to Turning Point USA before considering reinstatement of the show.

 

Eric Trump Calls In

 

An exclusive interview with Eric Trump, son of current President Donald Trump. The hour centers around the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with Eric Trump sharing his personal reaction and reflecting on Kirk’s legacy and impact on youth political engagement. The discussion highlights the cultural and political ramifications of Kirk’s death, emphasizing the resilience of the conservative movement and the importance of preserving free speech and American values.

 

Eric Trump also discusses his new book, Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation, detailing the relentless legal and media attacks on the Trump family and organization. He recounts the unprecedented number of subpoenas, social media censorship, and political persecution they faced, framing it as a broader assault on conservative voices and constitutional freedoms. The conversation underscores President Trump’s historic political comeback, culminating in a state dinner with the King and Queen of England—an event hailed as one of the greatest honors of his life and a symbol of renewed global respect for American leadership.

 

The hour also covers the indefinite suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, with commentary suggesting declining ratings and controversial content as contributing factors. The hosts and callers explore the double standards in media and entertainment, contrasting the outrage over Kimmel’s suspension with the muted response to Kirk’s assassination.

 

Woke Virus Inoculation

 

The erosion of Western civilization under the influence of woke ideology, the role of religion in shaping moral behavior, and the importance of defending foundational American principles. President Trump’s remarks at the state dinner are highlighted for their emphasis on Anglo-American unity, liberty, and shared heritage.

 

Listeners are encouraged to support Turning Point USA and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, with Eric Trump pledging a portion of his book proceeds to continue Charlie Kirk’s mission. The hour concludes with reflections on the cultural shift in business and media, the hypocrisy of corporate elites, and the enduring strength of the Trump movement.

 

Free Speech and Boobs

 

Clay explains why he doesn't support cancel culture and recalls his own cancellation by CNN over his statement about free speech and boobs.
