A Clay and Buck "See, I Told You So."  

The hosts discuss President Donald Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia, highlighting his efforts to secure a trillion-dollar Gulf investment in the U.S. economy. They also touch on positive economic indicators, including a drop in inflation to 2.3%, and call for the Federal Reserve to initiate interest rate cuts.

"We Called It" is a Clay and Buck "See, I Told You So."   A major segment of the hour is dedicated to the explosive revelations from an upcoming book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, which alleges that President Biden’s physical and cognitive decline was so severe that aides considered he might need a wheelchair post-election. Clay and Buck argue that legacy media outlets like CNN and NBC knowingly misled the public about Biden’s condition to protect his candidacy and defeat Trump. They assert that this media cover-up is part of a broader pattern of misinformation, comparing it to the media’s handling of COVID-19 and the Russia collusion narrative.

The hosts also criticize the mainstream media’s sudden shift in tone, suggesting that journalists are now attempting to rehabilitate their credibility by admitting Biden’s decline only after the election. They play a montage of past clips from CNN’s Jake Tapper, illustrating what they describe as a stark contrast between his previous defenses of Biden and his current reporting.

Clay and Buck further explore the political implications of Biden’s withdrawal from the race, the Democratic Party’s internal struggles, and Vice President Kamala Harris’s perceived weaknesses as a candidate. They speculate on the strategic missteps that led to Biden participating in the June 27th debate, which they believe was a turning point in the election cycle.

Trump in Saudi Arabia

President Trump’s high-profile visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he announced a historic $600 billion investment deal aimed at strengthening U.S.-Middle East relations. Trump’s speech emphasized peace, innovation, and a firm stance against a nuclear-armed Iran, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to global stability and economic diplomacy.

South African Refugees

A discussion centered on immigration, race politics, and media hypocrisy, with a spotlight on the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s decision to welcome approximately 50 white South African migrants into the United States. This hour dives deep into the cultural and political backlash from the left, exposing what the hosts describe as the Democratic Party’s selective outrage and racial double standards.

Clay and Buck begin by highlighting the stark contrast between the left’s outrage over a small group of legal, white South African immigrants and their years-long support for millions of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. They argue that the backlash reveals a deeper issue within the Democratic Party—what they call an entrenched anti-white sentiment and a fractured identity politics coalition that is increasingly alienating working-class and minority voters.

The hosts explore the deteriorating conditions in South Africa, including racially motivated land seizures, violence against white farmers, and political rhetoric from South African leaders that openly threatens the white minority. They play clips from South African political figures and U.S. media pundits, including a controversial MSNBC segment defending land redistribution and CNN commentary suggesting white South Africans should “go back to Germany or Holland.” Clay and Buck challenge this logic, questioning how long someone must live in a country to be considered native and drawing parallels to American immigration debates.

The conversation expands into a broader critique of the left’s immigration policies, arguing for a merit-based system that prioritizes skilled, English-speaking immigrants who can contribute to the U.S. economy. They compare immigration to a professional sports draft, advocating for America to “draft” the best and brightest from around the world rather than importing unskilled labor.
