Hour 3 - Obedience Training for the Masses

The escalating national unrest, immigration enforcement, and cultural flashpoints shaping the political landscape under President Donald Trump. The hour opens with a critical analysis of the ongoing protests and riots across major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York City. Clay and Buck emphasize the distinction between peaceful protests and violent riots, highlighting the media's reluctance to acknowledge the latter. A major focus is on President Trump’s immigration policy, particularly his promise to execute the largest deportation operation in American history. The hosts underscore that this initiative, which prioritizes the removal of violent criminal offenders, aligns with the working-class majority’s support. They also discuss the exploitation of illegal labor by elites and the need for stricter enforcement against employers hiring undocumented workers. The conversation shifts to the deteriorating conditions in Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass admits the city is overwhelmed by graffiti and vandalism ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Clay and Buck argue that cities failing to maintain law and order should not be rewarded with global events. They advocate for holding vandals accountable by requiring them to clean up the damage they cause. The hosts also explore the psychological impact of urban decay, likening widespread graffiti to a visual symbol of lawlessness. They draw parallels between the current unrest and past left-wing protest movements like Occupy Wall Street and BLM, asserting that the left has cultivated a culture of protest and riot. A viral moment from New York City is discussed, where a black mother confronts white protestors blocking traffic, exposing the disconnect between activist ideology and everyday Americans trying to work. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is praised for his policy allowing drivers to protect themselves if surrounded by threatening mobs, reinforcing the state’s commitment to law and order. The hour also covers the reconciliation between President Trump and Elon Musk following a public dispute. Caroline Levitt confirms that President Trump has accepted Musk’s apology, and the hosts commend Trump’s statesmanlike response. They highlight Musk’s influence in fostering free speech through X (formerly Twitter), which has become a vital platform for open discourse. Finally, the segment touches on cultural shifts, including Stephen A. Smith’s recent comments supporting women’s sports and opposing male participation in female categories. This is framed as a sign of growing mainstream resistance to radical gender ideology, with figures like Simone Biles and Riley Gaines at the center of the debate.

Daily Review With Clay and Buck - Jun 11 2025

The Resistance Movement Clay Travis and Buck Sexton live from Washington, D.C. They share insights from their morning inside CIA headquarters, highlighting the agency’s role in national security and its support for President Donald Trump’s administration. The hour dives into several major political and economic developments. A key focus is the improving U.S. economy under President Trump, with inflation continuing to decline for the fourth consecutive month and wage growth outpacing the cost of goods. The hosts emphasize how this economic turnaround contrasts sharply with the Biden-era struggles, crediting Trump’s leadership for restoring financial stability. They also discuss the Federal Reserve’s potential interest rate cuts and the positive implications for mortgages, credit cards, and loans. Another major headline is the announcement of a new U.S.-China trade agreement, featuring a 50% tariff on Chinese goods and a 10% reciprocal tariff from China. The deal includes increased access to rare earth minerals, which Clay and Buck frame as a strategic win for the Trump administration and a blow to critics who predicted economic disaster under his leadership. Why Assimilation Matters analysis of the ongoing protests in Los Angeles and other cities, highlighting how President Donald Trump's administration has responded with a firm stance on law enforcement and immigration. The hosts frame this as a win for the rule of law and a political victory for President Trump and the Republican Party. A major focus is on California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is positioning himself as the leading Democrat opposing President Trump. The hosts critique Newsom’s recent speech and suggest that his strategy is a calculated move to launch a 2028 presidential campaign. They argue that Newsom’s vision of making America more like California is politically risky on a national scale, citing California’s declining appeal and governance challenges. The conversation shifts to New York, where former Governor Andrew Cuomo is reportedly eyeing a political comeback by running for mayor of New York City. The hosts speculate that Cuomo’s ultimate goal is a 2028 presidential bid, setting up a potential rivalry with other Democratic figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They analyze the political subtext behind endorsements and intra-party conflicts, emphasizing the early jockeying for influence within the Democratic Party. Education and immigration policy are also central themes. The hosts criticize the strain that mass illegal immigration places on public school systems, particularly in cities like New York, where over 180 languages are spoken in schools. They argue for English as the national language and highlight the declining proficiency rates in reading and math as evidence of systemic failure. Miranda Devine Interviews President Trump An exclusive interview with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who recently sat down with President Trump as her first guest on her new podcast Pod Force One. Devine shares insights from their conversation, including Trump’s reflections on his childhood, his views on Elon Musk, and his strategic mindset heading into a potential second term. Trump reportedly emphasized his readiness to act decisively, his improved team, and his commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Can Clay Beat Angel? Clay challenges WNBA star Angel Reese to a one-on-one basketball game, sparking humorous debate and listener reactions.
