Summary

An Exercise in Media Propaganda

Buck Sexton is solo hosting while Clay is away on a super secret trip overseas for a very important meeting, and he kicks off the hour with updates on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which is set for a vote during the program. Buck explains why Democrats are pushing this as a political distraction and emphasizes Donald Trump’s stance: full transparency and release of all Epstein-related documents. The discussion highlights Trump’s past actions, including banning Epstein from his club, and contrasts that with deep ties Epstein had to prominent Democrats like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers.

Buck also addresses the media narrative and propaganda tactics, warning listeners about how focus and repetition are used to smear political opponents. He connects this to his upcoming book, Manufacturing Delusion, which explores the science and history of mind control, propaganda, and mass psychosis. Buck argues that Trump Derangement Syndrome has become a defining pathology of our time, citing expert commentary on how obsessive hatred of Trump has reached clinical levels. He draws parallels to authoritarian regimes and explains how manufactured hysteria threatens American democracy more than any external crisis.

Miranda Devine Blockbuster

An exclusive interview featuring Miranda Devine of the New York Post, who reveals shocking details about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin of President Donald Trump. Devine explains how Crooks’ online footprint—spanning platforms like YouTube, Gab, and DeviantArt—shows a disturbing evolution from pro-Trump rhetoric to violent anti-Trump threats, including assassination fantasies. She highlights Crooks’ use of aliases, his ties to extremist forums, and even gender identity confusion, noting his adoption of they/them pronouns and links to the “furry” subculture. Devine questions why the FBI and Secret Service failed to act despite clear warning signs, raising concerns about possible agency negligence or concealment.

The conversation pivots to Hunter Biden, after audio surfaces of him launching personal attacks on Devine, calling her unethical and insulting her appearance. Buck and Miranda dissect Biden’s behavior, emphasizing his inability to refute documented evidence of corruption involving foreign business deals and influence-peddling during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. The segment underscores the Biden family scandal, Hunter’s legal immunity, and the media’s complicity in shielding Democrats from accountability.

Government Theft

Adeep dive into illegal immigration under Biden, highlighting the estimated 10 million migrants who entered the U.S. during his presidency. Buck argues that this influx has strained housing, healthcare, and job markets, framing it as a massive economic and social burden on American taxpayers. He cites JD Vance’s remarks on housing affordability, explaining how unchecked immigration and limited housing supply have driven prices sky-high, especially in cities like New York where migrants occupy up to 25% of hotel rooms at taxpayer expense.

The conversation expands to legal immigration reform, with Buck and Governor Ron DeSantis stressing the need for a critical reassessment of current policies. DeSantis warns against the assumption that all legal immigration is inherently good, urging a focus on assimilation and cultural cohesion. Buck uses a striking analogy—too much water can kill you—to illustrate how excessive immigration, even legal, can destabilize a nation. He calls for a pause to restore continuity and shared American identity.

Eric Trump Joins the Show

Buck welcomes Eric Trump for an in-depth interview on the economy and Trump administration policies. Eric touts his book Under Siege and outlines why he’s “bullish on America,” citing Trump’s aggressive energy strategy, including nuclear and drilling initiatives, as key drivers of GDP growth. He explains how low energy costs, bonus depreciation, historic tax cuts, and tariffs will fuel manufacturing, AI, crypto, and inward investment. Eric contrasts Trump’s economic record with Biden’s “four years of 10% inflation,” blaming Biden for skyrocketing housing and energy costs. He predicts a booming U.S. economy in 2026, bolstered by global investment and trade deals.
