Reality of Taxes

The economic outlook under the Trump administration, highlighting predictions from Jim Rickards about a potential $150 trillion state-owned asset that could trigger an unprecedented economic boom. The Wall Street Journal’s headline, “The U.S. Economy is Regaining Its Swagger,” is cited as evidence of renewed consumer and corporate confidence.

Hunter Biden’s recent profanity-laced interview is dissected, particularly his comments on illegal immigration and labor. The hosts criticize his rhetoric and use it to highlight broader Democratic messaging failures.

Clay and Buck on the explosive growth of the show’s YouTube channel, now nearing 100,000 subscribers, and the shift in media consumption from traditional platforms to digital video. The hosts emphasize the importance of reaching younger audiences and adapting to new content formats.

Accelerating the Crazy

The backlash against “cultural Marxism” and the perceived rewriting of American history, with both hosts expressing frustration over progressive movements that, in their view, have gone too far. The hosts also examine the broader trend of sports team and college mascot name changes, citing examples like Dartmouth, St. John’s, UMass, and George Washington University. They argue that these changes reflect a relentless push from the political left, which they believe is never satisfied and continues to demand more cultural concessions.

The conversation expands to societal shifts from 2014 to 2022, including the rise and fall of the BLM movement, COVID-19 policies, and controversies surrounding transgender athletes like Leah Thomas. Clay and Buck argue that these years are now being reassessed and rejected by a growing number of Americans, framing the current moment as a “counter-revolution” led by Trump.  They highlight the positive impact of police body cameras in countering anti-police narratives and reducing viral misinformation, crediting this as one of the few constructive outcomes of recent cultural upheavals.

Tulsi Gabbard on the Russian Collusion Hoax

The hosts delve into the Obama-era intelligence community’s role in the Russia collusion narrative, with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard calling for accountability. They discuss the legal and political challenges of prosecuting former officials like James Comey, expressing skepticism that justice will be served due to expired statutes of limitations and institutional protections.

Fantasy Economics

The conversation pivots to the WNBA’s financial woes, highlighting the league’s projected $40 million loss and the players’ controversial “Pay Us What You Owe Us” campaign. The hosts draw parallels between the WNBA and Colbert’s show, arguing both are examples of “woke economics” disconnected from market realities.
