Hour 3 - The Sickness 

Hour 3 dives into the fallout from the “No Kings” protest and its deeper cultural implications. Clay opens by contrasting the protest with the overwhelming victory of President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, noting that Democrats—despite their rhetoric—are the real “party of kings” given their history of rigging primaries for Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. He critiques the protest as a relic of 1960s activism, dominated by aging hippies clinging to outdated ideals, but warns of a more troubling trend: younger radicals embracing violence.

Clay highlights a disturbing viral video of a Chicago elementary school teacher at the protest gleefully mimicking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He argues this behavior reflects a dangerous cultural sickness, questioning how such individuals remain employed while schools enforce strict moral standards against legal but controversial side jobs like OnlyFans modeling. This sparks a broader discussion on morals clauses for educators, with Clay asserting that celebrating political violence should be grounds for immediate termination.

The hour then pivots to economic news, celebrating a booming stock market nearing record highs and gas prices hitting a four-year low, signaling strong performance under Trump’s leadership. Clay also revisits the shocking Louvre crown jewels heist, mocking France’s inability to secure its most prized artifacts and tying the story to broader themes of declining masculinity and security in Western nations.

Listeners weigh in on the New York City mayoral race, where Zohran Mamdani remains the overwhelming favorite according to polls and prediction markets. Clay reiterates that Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo have virtually no chance unless Sliwa exits the race, framing Mamdani’s likely win as both a disaster for NYC and a potential catalyst for future Republican gains statewide. He cites a surprising statistic: New York was closer to flipping red in 2024 than Texas or Florida were to turning blue, suggesting an opening for GOP figures like Elise Stefanik in 2026.

The hour closes with a fiery and humorous debate sparked by a caller defending teachers moonlighting as strippers. Clay pushes back, arguing that while legal, such jobs violate community standards for educators. The exchange underscores broader cultural tensions over morality, free speech, and professional boundaries in an era of political polarization.
