Summary
Democrats vs. Law Enforcement
The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue.
Real-World Consequences
A gripping firsthand account from a young Asian-American reporter who was violently mugged in Washington, D.C., highlighting the real-world consequences of urban crime. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about President Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting strategy in the nation’s capital, which the hosts frame as both morally necessary and politically effective.
The show explores how Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement has led to a notable drop in violent crime, including a 13-day streak without a homicide—an unprecedented development in a Democrat-run city. The hosts contrast this with Democratic messaging that downplays violent crime in favor of focusing on homelessness and mental health, arguing that Trump’s results-driven approach is resonating with everyday Americans.
Rep. Chip Roy
Congressman Chip Roy joins the program to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, his push to ban congressional stock trading, and his support for raising the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 to address pilot shortages. He also weighs in on the Texas vs. Ohio State football game, predicting a win for the Longhorns led by Arch Manning.
Anything to Not Thank Trump
The hosts dive into the political and cultural impact of President Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, particularly in Washington, D.C., where violent crime rates have dropped significantly following federal intervention. They frame Trump’s approach as a bold, results-driven solution that contrasts sharply with Democratic leadership in cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The segment emphasizes how Trump’s actions—such as deploying federal resources and supporting law enforcement—are reshaping the national conversation around urban safety, law and order, and public accountability.
The hosts also highlight Trump’s stance on transgender athletes in women’s sports, positioning it as a common-sense issue that resonates with a majority of Americans. They argue that Trump’s ability to solve real-world problems, from securing the border to reducing crime, is what sets him apart from traditional politicians. The discussion underscores how Democrats’ resistance to Trump’s policies—even when they improve public safety—reveals a deeper ideological divide, with some voters prioritizing political identity over personal security.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:04.2 | Clay, have you heard of the Rio Reset? |
| 0:06.4 | Sounds like a trendy new workout, Buck. |
| 0:08.7 | It does, but it's actually a big summit going on in Brazil. |
| 0:11.7 | The formal name is Bricks, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. |
| 0:16.5 | But they've just added five new members. |
| 0:18.7 | Smart move to stick with Bricks. |
| 0:20.6 | We know what happens when acronyms don't end. They confuse everyone. Well, that's an understatement. Bricks is a group of emerging economies hoping to increase their sway in the global financial order. Now that sounds like the plot line of a movie. I'm listening. Philip Patrick is our Bruce Wayne. He's a precious metal specialist and a spokesman for |
| 0:39.1 | the Birch Gold Group. He's on the ground in Rio getting the whole lowdown on what's going on there. |
| 0:44.6 | Can he give us some inside intel? Absolutely. He's been there since day one. In fact, a major theme at |
| 0:50.3 | the summit is how Bricks Nations aim to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in global trade. |
| 0:55.6 | Yikes, that doesn't sound good. We got to get Philip on the line, stat. Already did, and he left the |
| 1:00.7 | Clay and Buck audience this message. The world is moving on from the dollar. Quietly, but steadily. |
| 1:08.3 | These nations are making real progress towards reshaping global trade, and the U.S. |
| 1:13.4 | dollar is no longer the centerpiece. That shift doesn't happen overnight, but make no mistake. |
| 1:20.2 | It's already begun. Thank you, Philip. Protect the value of your savings account, your 401k, your IRA, |
| 1:25.7 | all of them, by purchasing gold and placing it into |
| 1:28.3 | those accounts and reducing your exposure to a declining dollar value. |
| 1:32.5 | Text my name, Buck, to 98, 98, 98. |
| 1:35.4 | You get the free information you'll need to make the right decision. |
