Shifty Jake Tapper

Clay and Buck open the hour by highlighting the growing scrutiny from mainstream journalists and Democratic leaders, including Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who are now facing tough questions about Biden’s mental and physical fitness. The hosts emphasize how media figures like CNN’s Jake Tapper are attempting to reframe their past coverage, with Tapper admitting he “didn’t do enough” to report on Biden’s condition—an admission Clay and Buck criticize as opportunistic and lacking accountability.

The conversation intensifies as they dissect the broader implications of Biden’s perceived incapacity, questioning who was truly making executive decisions during his presidency. They speculate whether figures like Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, or senior White House advisors were effectively running the country. This leads to a broader critique of the Democratic Party’s internal dynamics, suggesting a coordinated effort to maintain power despite Biden’s limitations.

Trump in the Middle East

Celebrating a “world tour of winning” for Trump, highlighting his efforts to secure up to $1 trillion in Middle Eastern investment into the U.S. economy. They emphasize the positive impact on inflation, the stock market, and consumer prices—especially the sharp drop in egg prices, the largest since 1984.

The conversation shifts to Trump’s foreign policy wins, including potential breakthroughs in U.S.-China trade relations, normalization of ties with Syria, and mediation efforts between India and Pakistan. Clay and Buck also discuss reports of a possible face-to-face meeting between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Putin in Istanbul, contingent on Trump’s attendance. They argue that Trump’s diplomacy is reshaping global alliances, particularly by isolating Iran and strengthening U.S. ties with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Israel.

The hosts contrast Trump’s foreign policy successes with what they describe as the failures of the Biden administration, particularly in Afghanistan and Ukraine. They criticize Secretary of State Antony Blinken and question the lack of any clear foreign policy victories under Biden.

Paul Mauro on P Diddy

Paul Mauro, a former NYPD inspector and legal analyst, offers expert insight into the prosecution’s strategy. Mauro explains the significance of the RICO charges, the potential involvement of flipped witnesses from Diddy’s inner circle, and the implications of a sex trafficking charge involving a minor. He also discusses the jury composition—eight men and four women—and how that dynamic could influence the trial’s outcome.

Clay raises critical questions about the prosecution’s decision to lead with Cassie’s testimony, suggesting it may be the weakest part of the case due to the consensual nature of their decade-long relationship. Mauro agrees that the prosecution must overcome the perception that Cassie’s involvement was transactional rather than coerced. They also explore the broader cultural implications, comparing Diddy’s fall from grace to other disgraced celebrities like Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly, and questioning how such behavior was tolerated for so long by the entertainment elite.

Hud Secretary Scott Turner

Clay and Buck welcome HUD Secretary Scott Turner, who discusses the Trump administration’s housing priorities, including rolling back Biden-era regulations, restoring local control over zoning, and addressing homelessness and disaster recovery. Turner also outlines HUD’s new policy on gender-specific shelters, affirming that only biological women can access women’s shelters funded by HUD. He praises Trump’s stance on protecting women’s spaces and sports, drawing from his own experience as a former NFL player
