Summary
Dems Suddenly Care About Crime
Next, the conversation shifts to crime reduction efforts in Washington, D.C., where Trump’s crackdown is earning praise from local business owners. Clay and Buck contrast this with Gavin Newsom’s sudden pivot to “law and order” policies in California, suggesting it’s a strategic move ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run. They also analyze Democratic strategy for 2028, speculating on potential candidates like Newsom, Wes Moore, and Gretchen Whitmer, and how identity politics and electability could shape the ticket.
The hour also covers Gallup polling showing record-high Republican satisfaction with the country’s direction, while Democrats report near-zero optimism—a stark partisan divide. Clay and Buck explore why Democrats refuse to credit Trump’s successes on the economy, border security, and crime reduction.
Media Spins The MN Church Shooting
The conversation pivots to the Minneapolis church shooting, where the hosts criticize mainstream media outlets like CNN and The New York Times for misrepresenting the shooter’s gender identity and downplaying the role of transgender issues in the tragedy.
Clay and Buck raise urgent questions about gender transition treatments for minors, exploring whether hormone therapy and puberty blockers could impact mental health and decision-making. They argue that these medical interventions, combined with untreated psychological conditions, may contribute to violent behavior—an issue they say the media refuses to address.
Alex Berenson
Special guest Alex Berenson joins to discuss the link between cannabis use and psychosis, citing research that high-potency THC can increase the risk of schizophrenia and violent behavior. Berenson warns that replacing alcohol with marijuana is not a public health win, arguing that cannabis poses greater long-term risks to brain health. The conversation also addresses misconceptions about SSRIs and antipsychotic medications, emphasizing their life-saving role for individuals with severe depression or psychosis and pushing back against political narratives demonizing these treatments.
Mary Katharine Ham
The hosts welcome Mary Katharine Ham, Fox News contributor and co-host of the “Normally” podcast, for a wide-ranging discussion. Topics include corporate disconnect from everyday Americans, the backlash against Cracker Barrel’s leadership, and the cultural significance of college football as a unifying force. They also tackle parental responsibility in preventing tragedies, stressing that parents must secure firearms and monitor mental health when warning signs are present—especially in light of recent shootings. Ham and the hosts slam media outlets for prioritizing ideology over facts, particularly in coverage of cases involving transgender shooters.

| 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. |
