"We Called It" is the 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.

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.

The hour also includes commentary on the state of the media landscape, the decline of fact-checking, and the erosion of public trust in traditional journalism. The hosts emphasize the importance of alternative media voices and celebrate their own track record of accurate predictions on major issues like COVID-19, Biden’s health, and the 2024 election outcome.

In a lighter segment, Buck shares his excitement over the New York Knicks’ playoff performance, reflecting on his lifelong fandom and the team’s resurgence. The hour wraps up with investment advice from Clay, encouraging long-term thinking in the stock market, and a plug for their Crockett Coffee brand.
