Daily Review With Clay and Buck - Nov 26 2025
Iconic Moments in History Deep dive into U.S. history: elections during the Civil War and WWII, Revolutionary War realities versus myth, and reflections on Founding Fathers’ imperfections. Pop culture notes include Mel Gibson’s The Patriot, critiques of modern streaming content, and ideas for new American historical entertainment like a Crockett biopic. FBI Director Kash Patel Calls In FBI Director Kash Patel reports double the violent offender arrests compared to last year, a 55% drop in Memphis homicides in just three months, and major reductions in murder rates nationwide. The FBI seized 127 million lethal doses of fentanyl, a 31% increase, and dismantled 764 child exploitation networks, marking a 300% surge in pedophile arrests. Under Trump’s directive, the FBI has turned over 40,000 documents to Congress in nine months, far surpassing previous administrations. Patel calls this the most transparent era in FBI history. The show dives into the Epstein Transparency Act, with Patel confirming the Trump administration reopened the case. Despite legal hurdles with the Epstein estate, the FBI remains committed to releasing files while protecting victims’ rights. Hosts question the origins of Epstein’s $600 million estate, sparking a broader conversation on global banking secrecy, offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands, and financial transparency. Patel assures listeners that the FBI followed every lead, briefed President Trump throughout, and found no evidence of a broader conspiracy. All shooter devices and social media accounts were seized, reinforcing the Bureau’s commitment to facts over speculation. Patel advocates for a public, televised trial to counter conspiracy theories, drawing parallels to the O.J. Simpson case and emphasizing maximum transparency. Patel outlines a sweeping purge of leakers and politicized actors, ending the weaponization era of Russiagate-style abuses. He promises continued accountability and high-profile indictments before year-end. Looking ahead, Patel teases major developments in December, including more disclosures and arrests in ongoing high-profile cases such as the NBA/MLB investigation involving Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones. The next hour promises insights from Miranda Devine on judicial accountability and the latest dropped prosecution against President Trump. Miranda Devine on Accountability Miranda Devine, The New York Post columnist and host of the “Pod Force One” podcast, joins the show. She brings the facts on Hunter Biden, the Trump Administration’s 2026 strategy, deportations, affordability, and holding judges accountable when the criminals they let out of jail go on to re-offend (citing the Chicago incident). She also loves Thanksgiving and wishes you all a joyous one.
