Summary

Arizona congressional candidate Jay Feely. The former NFL kicker and sports broadcaster shares his journey from the football field to the political arena, emphasizing his commitment to President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. Feely discusses the challenges of campaign fundraising, the importance of border security, and the economic struggles facing young Americans, particularly in high-cost housing markets like Arizona. Feely also weighs in on the controversial topic of transgender athletes in women’s sports, defending fairness and safety for female competitors. He recounts his personal experience coaching girls' soccer and criticizes Simone Biles’ comments about Riley Gaines, highlighting the biological advantages male athletes have in women’s sports. The hour takes a lighter turn as Clay and Buck debate whether Clay could beat WNBA star Angel Reese in a one-on-one basketball game, sparking humorous banter about aging, athleticism, and dad pride. Feely joins in, joking about his own competitive edge and experiences playing with LPGA golfers. Listeners also chime in via talkbacks, including a humorous take from a professional flutist on why men might choose to play the flute. Clay and Buck riff on music degrees, harp-playing Mormons, and classical instruments, blending cultural commentary with their signature wit. The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts analyze the upcoming mayoral race. They critique progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani’s past support for replacing police with social workers in high-crime areas, contrasting it with the potential return of Andrew Cuomo. Despite Cuomo’s controversial past, Clay argues he may be the most rational Democrat in the race, sparking debate among listeners. The hour wraps with a nostalgic discussion on the greatest action movie stars of all time: Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Sylvester Stallone. Clay and Buck compare iconic films like Predator, Terminator 2, and Rambo, blending pop culture with personal anecdotes, including Clay’s memorable encounter with Stallone.
