Remember Operation Chaos?
Hillary Clinton’s testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein, with Clay highlighting that she denied ever meeting Epstein or boarding his plane, while Bill Clinton is set to testify next. The hosts then dig into a bombshell report alleging that Susie Wiles—President Donald Trump’s chief of staff and former 2024 campaign manager—was secretly surveilled by the FBI, and that her attorney knew conversations were being monitored while she did not. This leads to a broader discussion of weaponization of the justice system, including Democrat attempts during the 2024 election cycle to keep President Trump tied up in multiple courtrooms across several states.
Buck revisits how Democrats previously pushed to remove Trump from ballots in Colorado and Maine, and how the political establishment normalized efforts to criminally prosecute Trump and even imprison him. They also recount the assassination attempts against Trump during the campaign, reinforcing the high‑stakes political climate surrounding the former and current president.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr
An extended interview with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Carr explains how the FCC applies equal‑time rules to programs that are not bona fide news, and why late‑night and daytime shows that consistently platform Democrats may face stricter enforcement during the general election. The conversation then shifts to spectrum and connectivity: Carr outlines efforts to accelerate broadband deployment after years of federal spending that failed to connect homes, and he highlights how satellite‑to‑device technology and fresh spectrum could deliver faster, more competitive internet service. They close the interview on sports broadcasting, tackling consumer frustration with fragmented streaming, rising costs, and the risk that too many NFL games moving behind paywalls could undercut local broadcast economics, weaken the Sports Broadcasting Act’s rationale, and make it harder for fans to simply turn on the TV and find their team.
Make America Eat Healthy Again
FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary joins the program for a detailed and rapid‑fire interview. He announces that the FDA just approved a new drug in 44 days—an unprecedented turnaround—and outlines structural reforms intended to speed drug approvals without sacrificing safety. Dr. Makary explains new pathways designed to fast‑track treatments for rare diseases, which collectively affect one in eleven Americans. He discusses the surge in popularity of GLP‑1 weight‑loss drugs, the unregulated gray zone around peptides, and how the FDA is distinguishing legitimate therapies from unauthorized copycats. He also details sweeping reforms to U.S. nutrition guidance, including rewriting the federal food pyramid, emphasizing protein‑rich whole foods, and eliminating taxpayer funding for sugary drinks and ultra‑processed foods in federal nutrition programs.
The conversation then turns to the modern explosion in childhood allergies. Dr. Makary explains that a major cause may have been decades of incorrect medical advice telling parents to avoid feeding young children allergenic foods until age three. He clarifies that early introduction of foods like peanut butter between five and seven months can reduce allergy risk by more than 80%. He also outlines the FDA’s improved communication efforts, updates to vaccine guidance, and ongoing scientific reevaluation of the COVID‑era booster policies that once lacked strong data.
As the hour wraps up, the hosts press Dr. Makary on the post‑COVID landscape. He notes that this year’s flu has been more prevalent than COVID, that the flu shot was a poor match for circulating strains, and that the public health response to COVID—especially school closures, masking toddlers, and approving annual boosters without adequate clinical data—was a historic failure. He outlines key FDA goals going forward, including pursuing cures for type 1 diabetes, advanced therapies for certain late‑stage cancers, improved treatments for PTSD in veterans, and a universal flu vaccine providing lifelong protection.
Snowball Thug Arrested
NYPD arrested a 27‑year‑old suspect seen hurling large ice chunks at officers during a snowstorm—undercutting early political claims that the perpetrators were “just kids”—and note the individual’s recent arrest record. They also flag reports that President Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are set to meet at the White House, potentially to discuss increasing housing supply by easing zoning and regulatory barriers that keep rents high; Buck underscores how environmental reviews, permitting, and red tape inflate construction costs in cities like New York and California.
