At the same time, cartel violence explodes in Guadalajara after a major leader is taken out in an operation reportedly supported by U.S. intelligence.

What does the Supreme Court’s decision on IEEPA actually mean for President Trump’s tariff strategy—and the future of the U.S. economy? In this episode, Lisa is joined by International Law Attorney, Nazak Nikakhtar who breaks down the high-stakes ruling that limits the president’s ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers—and explains why it may not slow Trump down at all. From Sections 232, 301, and 338 to national security-based trade actions, the administration still has powerful tools to reshape global trade. We dive into: Why the Supreme Court blocked IEEPA tariffs—and what comes next How Trump can still impose sweeping tariffs using other legal authorities The real goal behind tariffs: reducing debt, boosting U.S. manufacturing, and countering China Whether tariffs are actually a “tax” on American consumers What CPI and inflation data reveal about the real economic impact The growing decoupling between U.S. businesses and China How global supply chains—and national security—are driving trade policy The long road to rebuilding American manufacturing Nazak also explains why critics may be missing the bigger picture—and why tariffs could play a central role in reversing decades of wage stagnation and industrial decline.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clay Parties with the Men's Hockey Team State of the Union buzz and a culture‑war flashpoint: the Team USA men’s Olympic hockey gold becoming a lightning rod after a celebratory call from President Trump. Clay recounts joining the U.S. team’s celebration at E11EVEN Miami, where players and fans sang the national anthem, Lee Greenwood and other patriotic anthems—viral videos that, in his view, capture a broader cultural shift among younger male athletes who are openly pro‑USA. The hosts argue this moment echoes America’s “Miracle on Ice” era, noting that while the historic upset came against the USSR, the 1980 gold was clinched versus Finland—and they spotlight how Walter Mondale and President Jimmy Carter publicly congratulated that team, contrasting yesterday’s normalcy with today’s backlash. This is America Clay introduces Small Business Administration head Kelly Loeffler and Jimmy’s Famous Seafood co-owner John Minadakis. John recounts watching the overtime game from church and his viral takedown of HuffPost after the outlet scolded Americans for cheering the hockey team. Loeffler praises Jimmy’s as an example of American small‑business excellence, symbolizing hard work, innovation, family tradition, and patriotism. Clay then breaks news live on air that Team USA has arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, greeted by applauding troops—an image the hosts call the purest representation of American exceptionalism. Avoid Energy Vampires Clay and Buck discuss why the men’s team’s unapologetic patriotism resonates so strongly, why the left’s negative reaction is backfiring, and how open displays of pride—like Quinn Hughes thanking the troops—deeply connect with everyday Americans. They argue that Democrats’ cultural instincts are increasingly out of step with normal people, especially young men, and explain how attempts to police humor, language, and celebration alienate voters. Steal the Bacon! Americans react to the controversy over Trump’s joking comment about having to invite the women’s team to avoid impeachment. Far from finding it offensive, most callers—especially female listeners—mock the outrage and argue the women’s decision not to attend the State of the Union is childish and politically motivated. Clay and Buck underscore that when Olympic athletes represent the United States, meeting the president is a patriotic honor regardless of party. They highlight polls showing Democrats increasingly struggle to relate to male voters, noting how effortlessly the Hughes brothers and their teammates embody a patriotic, masculine energy that resonates with young men across the country.

Hour 1 centers on the State of the Union buzz and a culture‑war flashpoint: the Team USA men’s Olympic hockey gold becoming a lightning rod after a celebratory call from President Trump. Clay opens by previewing the night’s focus on the State of the Union (with Bill O’Reilly slated for Hour 2 analysis) and teases guests tied to small business and Jimmy’s Famous Seafood. He then recounts joining the U.S. team’s celebration at E11EVEN Miami, where players and fans sang the national anthem, Lee Greenwood and other patriotic anthems—viral videos that, in his view, capture a broader cultural shift among younger male athletes who are openly pro‑USA. The hosts argue this moment echoes America’s “Miracle on Ice” era, noting that while the historic upset came against the USSR, the 1980 gold was clinched versus Finland—and they spotlight how Walter Mondale and President Jimmy Carter publicly congratulated that team, contrasting yesterday’s normalcy with today’s backlash. Clay and Buck drive the hour with the theme that “Democrats can’t be normal”—framing outrage at Kash Patel being in the locker room (to connect the team with the President for a congratulatory call and White House invite) as proof that legacy media and progressive pundits now politicize what used to be routine civic pride. They play up reactions from Don Lemon, The View, and others as examples of performative offense, then pivot to a broader branding argument: Republicans win culture by liking jokes and celebrating American exceptionalism, while the left, they say, defaults to grievance. The hosts also debate whether the U.S. women’s hockey team should attend the State of the Union—calling it a missed opportunity for bipartisan national recognition if they don’t—and contextualize the back‑and‑forth with Trump’s light “dad joke” about treating both teams equally, which they insist was harmless. The hour widens into pop‑culture and geography: Clay floats that Miami (and South Florida) may have overtaken New York and Los Angeles as America’s cultural capital, citing the star‑magnet nightlife, business relocations, and patriotic energy he witnessed during the celebration. He also notes the Northeast blizzard that dropped heavy snow from Rhode Island to the New York metro, which even rerouted the hockey team to Miami—serendipity that supercharged the party atmosphere. Throughout, the hosts celebrate a record‑setting U.S. showing at these Winter Olympics (a new American best for gold medals this cycle) and the way “U‑S‑A” chants, grit (a star forward playing and scoring with a broken tooth), and visible pride cut through partisan static. Listeners chime in via talkbacks—correcting the 1980 final opponent, ribbing Clay about the nightclub coincidence, and cheering the team—while Clay closes by returning to the core message: the Olympic victory is more than a sports headline; it’s a metaphor for American toughness, unity, and optimism heading into the State of the Union.

Hour 2 opens with Bill O’Reilly joining Clay and Buck to preview President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address. O’Reilly predicts the speech will be long but optimistic, advising Trump to focus on projecting strength and outlining the next twelve months rather than dwelling on the Supreme Court’s recent tariff ruling. The hosts and O’Reilly then pivot to the dominant cultural story of the week: the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team’s gold‑medal win and the political firestorm surrounding their White House invitation. O’Reilly emphasizes that the far left cannot tolerate anything celebratory occurring under Trump’s presidency and explains why critics seized on Trump’s lighthearted “impeachment” joke and FBI Director Kash Patel being in the locker room—despite Patel being in Italy to support counterterror security efforts. The conversation shifts to the U.S. women’s hockey team’s decision not to attend the State of the Union, which O’Reilly criticizes as a political choice designed to reflect poorly on Trump. Clay and Buck agree it’s a missed opportunity and highlight the cultural divide between the men’s and women’s programs. From there, the discussion turns to Gavin Newsom’s SAT comment at a predominantly Black event—a remark that drew accusations of pandering. O’Reilly pushes back on claims the comment was racist, argues conservatives diminish their credibility when misusing the term, and instead focuses on Newsom’s broader weaknesses as a national candidate. He characterizes the Democratic bench for 2028 as the “weakest field” he’s seen in 50 years, citing poor records, low name recognition, and an entrenched radical‑left donor network. Clay then asks whether Stephen A. Smith might enter Democratic politics; O’Reilly suggests it’s possible, noting Smith’s appeal, sincerity, and ability to broaden his brand. The hour takes a lighter and more energized turn as Clay introduces Small Business Administration head Kelly Loeffler and Jimmy’s Famous Seafood co-owner John Minadakis. John recounts watching the overtime game from church and his viral takedown of HuffPost after the outlet scolded Americans for cheering the hockey team. Loeffler praises Jimmy’s as an example of American small‑business excellence, symbolizing hard work, innovation, family tradition, and patriotism. Clay then breaks news live on air that Team USA has arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, greeted by applauding troops—an image the hosts call the purest representation of American exceptionalism. Clay and Buck discuss why the men’s team’s unapologetic patriotism resonates so strongly, why the left’s negative reaction is backfiring, and how open displays of pride—like Quinn Hughes thanking the troops—deeply connect with everyday Americans. They argue that Democrats’ cultural instincts are increasingly out of step with normal people, especially young men, and explain how attempts to police humor, language, and celebration alienate voters. The hour ends with a series of broader cultural observations: how envy and resentment shape online discourse, why it’s important to surround yourself with people who celebrate your wins, and how the left’s inability to “just be normal” has become a defining political liability. The hosts highlight that the Olympics always serve as a reminder that America remains a global symbol of grit, excellence, and unity—values the hockey team embodies and that millions of Americans are eager to rally behind heading into the State of the Union.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show centers on a mix of political anticipation, cultural clashes, sports‑driven patriotism, and lighthearted personal storytelling as the country heads into President Trump’s State of the Union address. Clay and Buck open the hour discussing expectations for the speech, noting prediction‑market odds that it could run more than 90 minutes. Both hosts emphasize that long speeches lose audiences and argue that Trump—despite being a natural showman—would benefit from a tighter, more powerful address that highlights major accomplishments: record‑low violent crime, a secured border, strong GDP growth, lower mortgage rates, and falling inflation. They stress that the State of the Union is one of Trump’s rare chances to bypass media filters and speak directly to persuadable voters who may not follow daily political coverage. The conversation quickly turns humorous when Buck recounts the chaos of trying to track the speech while wrangling his baby and dog at home, which leads to a debate over childhood games. Buck claims “steal the bacon” was a universal gym‑class staple, while Clay counters with the Southern equivalent he grew up with. Listeners flood the talkback line to defend or debunk Buck’s memories, producing a barrage of nostalgia, corrections, and hilarity—including callers from Jewish summer camps who played “steal the salami” and a Miami PE teacher who proudly confirms the game’s popularity. This launches a broader discussion about modern PE, how much instruction has changed, and whether schools should rethink schedules, physical activity, and educational formats in the AI era. The two hosts consider whether America is overdue for reexamined K–6 schooling models, noting the explosion of hybrid learning pods, tutoring collectives, and parental dissatisfaction with traditional systems. From there, the hour circles back to politics and the cultural earthquake surrounding the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. Clay and Buck riff on Representative Angie Craig’s over‑the‑top statement that she’d “rather stick forks in her eyes” than hear Trump speak, laughing at the melodrama and pointing out that many Democrats skipping the State of the Union are doing so because they cannot stomach Trump’s rising popularity. The hosts also highlight House Speaker Mike Johnson’s revelation that Trump requested seats for the entire hockey team—a logistical headache given the limited space, but one both men agree will make for an electrifying national moment. Listener calls continue pouring in as Americans react to the controversy over Trump’s joking comment about having to invite the women’s team to avoid impeachment. Far from finding it offensive, most callers—especially female listeners—mock the outrage and argue the women’s decision not to attend the State of the Union is childish and politically motivated. Clay and Buck underscore that when Olympic athletes represent the United States, meeting the president is a patriotic honor regardless of party. They highlight polls showing Democrats increasingly struggle to relate to male voters, noting how effortlessly the Hughes brothers and their teammates embody a patriotic, masculine energy that resonates with young men across the country. The final segment of Hour 3 blends education debates with more listener calls, including a startling one from a caller in Michigan recalling mandatory naked swimming for boys in public‑school pools decades ago—a revelation that Clay and Buck find both bizarre and darkly funny. The hour ends with a rapid‑fire series of calls reacting to the hockey win, school memories, cultural divides, and the viral stories of the week, all while setting the stage for Trump’s primetime address.

What if the biggest threat to your health isn’t just what you eat—but who controls it? On this episode of Wellness Unmasked, Dr. Nicole Saphier sits down with filmmakers Patrick and Ashley Sullivan, creators of the new documentary Breaking Big Food: How the American Food System Went Rotten—and How It’s Being Revived. After a personal health scare, the Sullivans set out to uncover the truth behind America’s food industry—and what they found is shocking. From Big Tobacco quietly acquiring major food companies in the 1980s and 90s, to the explosion of ultra-processed foods and thousands of “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) chemicals in our food supply, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how we got here. They also break down: The hidden history of Big Tobacco’s influence on Big Food Why U.S. food standards differ dramatically from Europe and Canada The rise of seed oils, additives, and ultra-processed ingredients The truth about glyphosate, pesticides, and regulatory loopholes Surprising sources of toxins—including coffee and everyday “health foods” Simple, practical tips to avoid harmful ingredients at the grocery store How local farming, consumer choices, and grassroots movements are driving change Plus, the inspiring story behind their clean food initiative and how communities are taking health back into their own hands—one backyard, one market, and one purchase at a time. 📺 Breaking Big Food is now streaming on Apple TV and Amazon Prime. If you care about what’s really in your food—and what you can do about it—this is a must-listen episode.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz react to a disturbing security incident at Mar-a-Lago and the broader pattern of escalating threats against public officials—stories that vanish from the headlines far too quickly. Then it’s time for a much-needed palate cleanser: Team USA’s Olympic hockey triumph, with both the men’s and women’s teams winning gold in overtime against Canada. Mary Katharine and Karol break down the gritty, emotional win—complete with missing teeth, family legacy, and the powerful tribute to fallen NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his family that had fans tearing up worldwide. Plus: the small controversy over Kash Patel celebrating with the team… and why most normal people don’t care. From there, the hosts turn to Gavin Newsom’s latest “I’m just like you” routine, including the eyebrow-raising “I can’t read”/SAT score messaging and what it signals about his larger political rebrand—and media protection. They also dig into Bernie Sanders’ inability to answer a basic follow-up question about why the U.S. produces more successful businesses than Europe, and why “tax the billionaires” is not a plan. Finally, Normally tackles the viral New York City debate no one should have to have: is urinating on a crowded subway car just part of urban life now? The hosts explain why “stop noticing” isn’t governance, and why normal people are done being told to accept dysfunction as compassion.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
