No Kings Loser-Fest Clay and Buck diving into the fallout from the “No Kings” protest aimed at President Donald Trump. They mock the protest as ineffective and desperate, noting its aging demographic and lack of clear purpose. The hosts argue that Trump’s opponents have shifted from substantive issues to symbolic gestures, revealing the fractured state of the anti-Trump movement. They highlight Trump’s own response from Air Force One, where he dismissed the protests as “a joke” and reiterated, “I’m not a king.”  The discussion expands to the government shutdown drama, suggesting Democrats may prolong it for political leverage in upcoming elections. Clay and Buck emphasize Trump’s strong approval ratings and assert that his first year in office is among the most effective in U.S. history, despite ongoing judicial resistance. Sorry, New York  Clay and Buck dissect the explosive controversy surrounding front-runner Zohran Mamdani, who was recently photographed campaigning alongside an Imam linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and pro-jihad rhetoric. President Donald Trump weighed in, calling the association “a shame” and questioning Mamdani’s judgment. The hosts debate whether this scandal will impact the race and highlight that major Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have withheld endorsements, signaling deep party discomfort. Clay and Buck predict that Mamdani will likely win, citing gambling markets giving him a 93% chance of victory, compared to Cuomo’s slim odds and Curtis Sliwa’s near-zero chances. They argue that Mamdani’s radical proposals—such as city-run grocery stores and free public transit—are unrealistic and doomed to fail but warn that his charisma could make him a dangerous figure for Democrats nationally. The conversation explores whether Mamdani will moderate his agenda early on to avoid backlash before ramping up progressive policies later in his term. Identity Politics Fracture The Democratic Party strategy and 2026 midterms, suggesting that figures like AOC and Gavin Newsom may secretly prefer chaos under far-left leadership to position themselves as saviors in 2028. Clay and Buck stress that Democrats need star power and name recognition to win nationally, dismissing moderates like Andy Beshear as too bland for the modern political landscape. Listeners call in to vent frustrations about New York politics, with some advocating for Curtis Sliwa to stay in the race and others arguing Republicans should let NYC “sink beneath the waves of communism.” Callers share real-world anecdotes about crime, fare evasion, and mass migration from NYC to Long Island and New Jersey, underscoring fears that Mamdani’s policies—such as free buses—will worsen homelessness and strain city services.  The discussion expands to foreign investment in NYC real estate, skyrocketing rents, and the long-standing trend of oligarchs using Manhattan property to shield assets.  Clay and Buck also tackle cultural contradictions within the left, highlighting the “unholy alliance” between progressive activists and Islamist sympathizers, questioning how identity politics can reconcile support for LGBTQ rights with pro-Palestinian movements that endorse Sharia law. They predict these fractures will intensify in coming years. The Sickness 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.

Hour 2 zeroes in on the New York City mayoral race, which the hosts argue is the most consequential upcoming election.

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.

David “Rut” Rutherford takes you inside the deepest chambers of human suffering — personal loss, combat trauma, addiction, divorce, the death of friends, and the quiet agony that lives in every home. He explores the concept of a “Hierarchy of Suffering” — how we rank pain, compare trauma, and how faith, brotherhood, and purpose can reshape that hierarchy and keep us moving forward. From combat veterans and custody battles to Christ on the cross and Nietzsche’s philosophy, Rut asks the haunting question: 👉 How do we carry the weight without collapsing beneath it? This episode is not about despair — it’s about shared pain, empathy, resilience, faith, and continuing the mission.
