New C&B Steak Bet!
Kamala Harris announced she will not run for California governor in 2026. Clay and Buck analyze her new book, 107 Days, and preview her upcoming appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—her first major interview since her 2024 presidential campaign defeat.
Clay and Buck make a new steak bet about Kamala Harris’s political future. They engage in a spirited discussion over whether Harris will run for president in 2028. Clay argues she will, citing her age, lack of alternative pursuits, and her unique position as a Black female candidate with strong name recognition. Buck counters that Harris is politically finished, suggesting she’s more likely to take a ceremonial role at a university or think tank. The conversation touches on Democratic Party strategy, the importance of the South Carolina primary, and the influence of figures like James Clyburn.
Mayor Mamdani?
The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts critique mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his past support of defunding the police and his proposal for city-run grocery stores. They warn that his policies could lead to economic and public safety disasters, drawing comparisons to failed socialist models. The segment includes a broader critique of progressive governance and its effects on urban housing, crime, and affordability.
Dr. Oz on the Future of Healthcare
Dr. Oz, now serving as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Trump administration, outlines the administration’s ambitious healthcare agenda. He addresses the skyrocketing cost of healthcare in America, the chronic disease epidemic, and the mental health crisis, emphasizing the role of loneliness as a key driver of poor health outcomes. Dr. Oz also highlights a recent White House event where major tech and healthcare companies pledged to return control of medical records to patients and modernize healthcare through digital innovation.
A major focus is the “big beautiful bill” that introduced work requirements for Medicaid recipients, aiming to restore dignity and autonomy to able-bodied Americans while preserving the program’s integrity. Dr. Oz defends the policy as a moral and economic imperative, drawing parallels to President Clinton’s welfare reform.
The conversation shifts to prescription drug pricing, where Dr. Oz announces a new “most favored nation” pricing policy to combat global freeloading and reduce U.S. drug costs. He compares this initiative to NATO’s cost-sharing model, asserting that America should no longer bear the financial burden of global pharmaceutical R&D alone.
Technology’s transformative role in healthcare is another key theme. Dr. Oz discusses how AI, robotics, and automation will streamline care, reduce administrative waste, and combat fraud—highlighting a recent $15 billion DOJ takedown of a multinational criminal network exploiting Medicare.
FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak
FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak joins the show to discuss the agency’s efforts to protect consumers from sophisticated scams, including AI-driven voice cloning fraud. She outlines the FTC’s enforcement mechanisms, collaboration with the DOJ, and focus on anti-competitive mergers in the fast-evolving tech sector. Holyoak also promotes the FTC’s “Made in USA” labeling enforcement, encouraging businesses and consumers to report violations.

Economic Growth!
a stronger-than-expected 3% GDP growth rate in Q2 2025, which they credit to President Trump’s economic policies, including tariffs and trade negotiations. They argue this growth defies mainstream economic predictions and underscores the failure of so-called “experts” and consensus-driven analysis. The conversation critiques the Federal Reserve’s reluctance to lower interest rates, suggesting that doing so could further ignite economic momentum.
In a broader critique of institutional thinking, Clay and Buck explore how Trump’s business acumen and risk-taking mindset have outperformed elite academic economists. They also highlight how high mortgage rates and unchecked illegal immigration are straining the housing market and driving up the cost of living, reinforcing the need for strong immigration enforcement.
Misleading Gaza Narrative
The hour takes a sharp turn into media accountability, focusing on a New York Times front-page story that used a misleading photo of a malnourished child in Gaza. The child was later revealed to have preexisting health conditions, not starvation. The hosts accuse the Times of intentional propaganda aimed at vilifying Israel and manipulating global opinion. They call out the lack of transparency in the correction and draw parallels to past media failures, including the Russia collusion narrative and historical cover-ups. Listeners are reminded of the importance of media skepticism, especially in high-stakes geopolitical conflicts. The segment ends with a passionate defense of Israel, a call for journalistic integrity, and a warning about the dangers of misinformation.
UT Senator Mike Lee
Utah Senator Mike Lee of Utah addresses the growing Senate confirmation backlog under President Trump. Lee criticizes the procedural delays that have stalled over 150 judicial and U.S. attorney nominations, attributing the obstruction to Senate Democrats and entrenched deep state bureaucrats. He calls for aggressive action, including exhausting the Senate into compliance and reconsidering the use of recess appointments, which have been blocked by pro forma sessions.
The conversation transitions to the controversial blue slip rule, a Senate tradition allowing home-state senators to block judicial nominees. Senator Lee argues that Democrats are abusing this custom and warns that continued obstruction could lead to the loss of their blue slip privileges. He also comments on the explosive revelations from FBI Director Kash Patel, who uncovered hidden documents related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. Lee describes this as potentially the most significant political scandal in U.S. history and stresses the need for transparency and accountability.
Breaking economic news is also covered, with the Federal Reserve opting not to cut interest rates despite internal dissent. The hosts analyze the implications for inflation, mortgage rates, and the broader Trump economy.
Tomi Lahren is Not a Nazi
Tomi Lahren dissects the media backlash to a new American Eagle ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. They argue that the outrage—led by what they describe as “liberal white women”—reflects a broader cultural war in which traditional beauty and normalcy are under attack. Lahren asserts that the left has lost the culture war and is now lashing out, while Clay and Buck highlight how younger Americans are rejecting woke ideology in favor of common sense, health, and attractiveness.
The segment also explores the intersection of masculinity and politics, with the hosts humorously suggesting a correlation between low testosterone levels and left-wing political views. They critique the rise of “male feminists” and argue that modern liberalism alienates average American men. The discussion includes a viral ESPN controversy and a Good Morning America segment that allegedly equated traditional beauty standards with coded extremism.
