Summary
The latest U.S. jobs report, revealing a slowdown in hiring with only 22,000 jobs added in August. Clay and Buck analyze inflation’s lingering effects under President Biden, emphasizing how price hikes have reshaped consumer expectations and daily costs—from fast food to coffee. They argue that although inflation has cooled, the damage to household budgets remains embedded, creating a political challenge for President Trump’s current administration. They also cover breaking news about a Supreme Court case that could impact presidential authority over tariffs, potentially reversing nearly a trillion dollars in collected revenue. Clay and Buck explore the legal and economic ramifications of this decision. The U.S. military’s unprecedented kinetic strike against a suspected narco-terrorist vessel in the Caribbean and the implications of this escalation in the war on drugs, including the deployment of fighter jets to Puerto Rico and the legal authority behind targeting drug traffickers with lethal force. They explore how the designation of cartels as terrorist organizations changes the rules of engagement and could reshape U.S. counter-narcotics strategy. Clay and Buck dive deep into the economics of the drug trade, emphasizing how cartels continue to profit despite increased seizures and enforcement. They argue that the risk-reward calculus for drug mules and smugglers may shift dramatically in light of the new military tactics. Clay urges parents and grandparents to talk to their kids about the dangers of fentanyl-laced party drugs, highlighting the growing number of accidental poisonings among young Americans. Dr. Nicole Saphier, of Fox News and the C&B Podcast Network’s “Wellness Unmasked,” unpacks two of the most explosive health policy stories in America: RFK Jr.’s controversial Senate testimony and Florida’s bold move to repeal school vaccine mandates.

| 0:19.0 | We've got hiring stalled. |
| 0:21.2 | U.S. economy out of 22,000 jobs in August. A little above hiring stalled. U.S. |
| 0:41.8 | economy out of 22,000 jobs in August. A little above a summer slowdown, but no big deal. Don't panic. It's all going to be fine. No panicins, Clay, allowed. We have a no panicking policy. I might have to get a no panicking sign whenever we talk about the economy. You certainly don't panic. Mr. Mr. Clay over there telling everybody when the market was getting shellacked earlier this year, don't, don't run for the lifeboats. Stay on the icon of the seas or whatever your |
| 0:48.5 | preferred vessel is. And you'll be fine. So, Clay, do you see any, I got something else we're |

| 0:54.8 | but just your quick reaction to jobs report where the economy is heading right now, |
| 1:00.4 | how it's all looking. |
| 1:02.5 | Jerome Powell was late again and they're going to cut rates in September. |
| 1:07.3 | He was wrong in allowing the overall inflation rate to get to 9.1, sorry, 1% |
| 1:15.4 | during Biden. And I think the biggest issue that Trump faces in terms of sort of vibe for lack of a |
| 1:23.3 | better way to describe it is people are still angry because prices went up so fast under Biden. |
| 1:29.2 | I mean, to me, that is a lot of people are out there and they're saying, well, prices haven't |
| 1:35.4 | come back down. |
| 1:36.3 | And I think the challenge is prices never come back down, ever. |
| 1:40.7 | This is the pernicious nature of inflation. |
| 1:44.0 | Once prices go up, they are inflated and the new normal |
| 1:48.0 | becomes whatever those price prices are. The best you can do is try to get back to normalcy. And we are |
| 1:55.1 | back to normalcy. But trust me, I've been saying this for years. Every time I go through a fast food restaurant, drive through with my kids, Chick-fil-A is usually our preferred place. |
