Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Nov 17 2025

Trantifa

Explosive revelations surrounding the would-be Trump assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, exposing shocking details that contradict the official narrative. Clay and Buck break down newly uncovered evidence from Tucker Carlson and Miranda Devine showing the suspect’s extremist ideology, violent threats posted openly on YouTube, and ties to radical left-wing movements like Antifa and trans activism. The hosts question why federal authorities failed to identify these clear warning signs, raising concerns about FBI competence—or possible cover-ups—when politically motivated violence targets conservatives.

The discussion expands to a broader pattern of domestic extremism, citing recent high-profile attacks linked to radical ideologies, including the Charlie Kirk assassination, the Covington school shooting, and the Minneapolis church attack. Clay and Buck argue these incidents reveal a growing national security threat fueled by far-left narratives and identity politics, while mainstream media and Democrats downplay the danger.

The show then pivots to breaking political news: Paul Finebaum, ESPN and SEC Network personality, signals serious interest in running for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. In an exclusive conversation, Finebaum explains what inspired him—citing the assassination of Charlie Kirk and a desire to unite Christians and Jews against rising cultural division. He outlines priorities like strengthening the economy, restoring trust in leadership, and addressing issues in college athletics. Clay and Buck weigh in on his chances, predicting a potential landslide if he enters the race.

Narco-Terrorism

An in-depth discussion on the Pentagon’s escalating war on drug cartels, featuring an exclusive interview with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin. The Senator details the impact of 21 U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan narco-terrorist boats, explaining how these operations have disrupted fentanyl and cocaine supply chains, driven up street prices, and targeted cartel networks inside U.S. cities. He emphasizes the administration’s aggressive approach, including designating cartels as terrorist organizations and deploying DHS and DOT to dismantle distribution lines nationwide.

The conversation pivots to the Butler, Pennsylvania Trump assassination attempt revelations, where Clay and Buck press Senator Mullin on reports from Tucker Carlson and Miranda Devine alleging the shooter’s radicalization and violent online threats. Mullin voices skepticism about media-driven theories, stressing reliance on verified intelligence over speculation, while acknowledging the seriousness of politically motivated violence.

Next, the show dives into Rand Paul’s criticism of the legality of cartel strikes, prompting a fiery response from Senator Mullin, who defends the President’s constitutional authority and calls out Paul’s libertarian leanings. The segment also touches on college football culture as Mullen recounts attending the Alabama-Oklahoma game and reacts to news that Paul Finebaum may run for Senate in Alabama, praising citizens who step up for public service.

The Epstein Deflection

Analysis of President Trump’s call to release all Epstein files, ahead of a major congressional vote. Clay and Buck argue that Democrats are using the Epstein story as a distraction from their failed government shutdown strategy, while Trump’s transparency stance undercuts partisan attacks. They note that if damaging evidence existed, it would have surfaced during Trump’s multiple indictments, reinforcing the narrative that this is political theater.

The conversation then revisits the Butler, Pennsylvania Trump assassination attempt revelations, spotlighting reports from Miranda Devine and Tucker Carlson that the shooter posted violent threats under his real name and embraced radical left-wing ideology, including trans activism. Clay and Buck question why the FBI missed these signals and explore whether online interactions further radicalized the suspect, framing this as a growing national security concern tied to extremist rhetoric amplified by Democrats.

Next, the hosts tackle the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, dissecting Trump’s response defending Tucker’s right to choose his guests and rejecting calls for censorship. They highlight Carlson’s striking comments to The New York Times about the GOP’s growing hostility to free speech, warning against speech policing within conservative ranks. Clay and Buck reaffirm their commitment to open dialogue, emphasizing that the cure for speech you dislike is more speech—not censorship.

Clay's Super Secret Trip

Clay hints about his upcoming trip overseas and asks the audience if they can guess where he's going.  He also talks about his viral Whispering Angel rosé moment at the Patriot Awards, sparking humorous banter about masculinity, wine culture, and social media reactions. Producer Ali joins the discussion, adding levity to the ongoing ribbing. Buck even dives into science, explaining why beer’s phytoestrogens can raise estrogen levels, fueling a spirited debate on health and lifestyle choices.
