Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

 

RIP Hulk Hogan and Russiagate 101

 

The shocking report of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan’s death at age 71. Clay reflects on Hogan’s cultural impact during the 1980s and 1990s, his recent appearance at the Republican National Convention, and his vocal support for President Donald Trump. The hour opens with a tribute to Hogan’s legacy in sports entertainment and American pop culture.

 

The episode then transitions into a deep-dive breakdown of the Russiagate scandal, prompted by listener feedback requesting clarity on the complex narrative. Clay outlines the origins of the Russia collusion narrative following Trump’s 2016 election victory, emphasizing how the media, intelligence community, and Democratic establishment allegedly collaborated to delegitimize Trump’s presidency. He argues that the narrative was built on misinformation and politically motivated leaks, leading to years of investigations that ultimately found no evidence of collusion.

 

Clay also discusses the Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling on presidential immunity, suggesting it could shield former President Barack Obama from potential legal consequences related to the 2016 surveillance of the Trump campaign. He explores the implications of this precedent for future administrations and how it may influence accountability for figures like James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Hillary Clinton.

 

Uncle Bill Confronts Evil

 

Clay speaks with bestselling author and media veteran Bill O’Reilly on a range of issues, including the passing of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan at age 71. They reflect on Hogan’s iconic legacy and his pivotal legal victory over Gawker Media. They also explore Hogan’s cultural impact and transitions into a deeper discussion on O’Reilly’s upcoming book, Confronting Evil, which examines historical and modern manifestations of collective evil, including figures like Hitler, Stalin, and Putin.

 

The hour intensifies with analysis of the Idaho murders and the chilling demeanor of the accused, Bryan Kohberger, as well as the broader implications of confronting individual versus systemic evil. O’Reilly and Travis then pivot to the explosive revelations from Tulsi Gabbard regarding the 2016 election and alleged misconduct by intelligence agencies. The discussion centers on former CIA Director John Brennan and the legal ramifications of knowingly using false information to obtain warrants, with O’Reilly suggesting potential prison time.

 

The Epstein case resurfaces as Clay asks O’Reilly what advice he’d give President Trump amid renewed scrutiny. O’Reilly reveals he spoke with Trump earlier that day and advises full deferral to the Justice Department, warning against media manipulation and emphasizing the political weaponization of Epstein-related narratives. The conversation also touches on the Wall Street Journal’s reporting and the risks of releasing unverified names tied to Epstein, which could trigger massive lawsuits.

 

Clay's Business Advice

 

Deep dive into the latest developments in the Russiagate hoax and new revelations from Tulsi Gabbard and the long-term media and political implications. Clay also discusses the controversial decision by an Obama-appointed judge to block the release of grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting ongoing concerns about transparency and justice.

 

Sunny Hostin of The View says Stephen Colbert’s potential firing is a threat to democracy. Clay challenges her legal credibility, sparking a broader conversation about First Amendment rights, media accountability, and the economics of entertainment. He contrasts Colbert’s financial losses with the massive $1.5 billion deal awarded to South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, underscoring the market-driven nature of media success.

🗳️ Democrats' Poll Numbers Plummeting

• A recent Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party's approval rating at its lowest in 35 years.
• Only 33% of voters view the party favorably, while 63% view it unfavorably.
• Cruz attributes this to the party being overtaken by extreme left-wing voices and unpopular stances on issues like:
  • Open borders
  • Defunding the police
  • Support for controversial protests
  • Gender and youth medical policies
• He warns Republicans not to become complacent despite favorable polling.

---

💰 Proposal to Save $1 Trillion in Federal Spending

• Cruz proposes ending the Federal Reserve’s practice of paying interest on bank reserves.
• This policy, introduced in 2008, cost taxpayers $168 billion in 2024 alone, with nearly half going to foreign banks.
• Cruz argues that:
  • The Fed operated for nearly a century without paying interest on reserves.
  • Ending this would encourage banks to lend more and support economic growth.
  • It could also help lower interest rates and reduce the deficit.

---

♠️ Fixing Tax Laws for Professional Poker Players

• A provision in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” changed how gambling losses are deducted.
• Previously, players could deduct 100% of losses from winnings; now only 90% is deductible.
• This results in some players being taxed on income they didn’t actually earn.
• Cruz, along with bipartisan support, is pushing legislation to reverse this change, arguing it's unfair and could drive poker professionals out of the U.S.
