Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling into the weekend to give you the absolute latest on everything. Since we now cover the stock market on a daily basis, let me give you the latest. It's not moving very much today. Essentially unmoved in general. S and P up a little bit. The Dow is up a little bit. Not movement very much. If. If you listen to Jim Cramer and sold all your stocks, you made an awful decision because the week in stocks has actually been good. China has raised tariffs a bit more on American goods, but basically sends the notice that they will not be raising goods anymore. There is talk that there will be further discussion between China and the United States going forward. That is the latest in trade wars in Clay and Buck News. Buck texted us. I'm trying to not bother Buck and Kerry. Buck texted us yesterday that things were going well, but that the process of beginning the induction might take 12 to 18 hours. Uh, that is. I've been through this a little bit, um, and I'm inevitably gonna screw this up. But with my wife on the three different deliveries that we have had, my recollection, and I know I'm gonna get flooded with ob GYN messages here. My recollection is that there is a drug called Pitussin that is designed to gradually move a baby towards delivery. This is my recollection in between complaining about the WI Fi, as my wife pointed out in the delivery room, and in between not being happy with the television selections because I couldn't find the games that I wanted to watch. Again, my wife called in and gave her recollections of our first baby being born. And that's two of the things that she remembers. And honestly, the WI fi should work in the hospital, let's be honest, in my defense. And why would you not have basic sports television stations on cable? But, you know, it wasn't really about me. Babies are happy and healthy. But I do remember my wife's water broke two weeks early in the middle of the night. And we went in early in the morning, and I believe they put Pitussin on. And that is what slowly moves you towards the labor process. I give you that update because we have been deluged with so many of you saying, hey, what's the latest? What's the latest? What's the latest? That is the latest. That was yesterday evening. We've not gotten an update today. I am solo with you here probably going to be solo with you quite a bit next week I would imagine because the baby boy has not yet arrived so far as we know. I have got my phone on, trying not to bother Buck and Carrie, Buck did say that his is very funny. Buck did say that his blow up mattress was working well, which is one of the most ridiculous decisions that I've heard anybody. He was not confident enough in the couch in the delivery room. So Buck took in his own blow up mattress and has been sitting off to the side blowing up the mattress. I presume that he slept on it last night. Uh, and we will continue to give you updates on how all of that is going. But newest news that is out there is we got more inflation reads this morning which suggests that inflation is continuing to come down. Not just come down from the 9% that Joe Biden took us to, but actually come down, meaning the goods out there in the United States are costing less. That is a very, very good sign because it means that your dollars go further. It also means that the Fed actually has some evidence that they could lower rates even further after they had to skyrocket the rates to try to deal with the 9% inflation rate that Joe Biden put in place, which necessitated one of the most rapid rises in interest rates in the modern history of the United States. So now what's interesting is we kind of got a little bit of a pause. The markets seem to have adjusted to the United States versus China trade war. We have new talking points that are now coming out. And by the way, China has taken tariffs to 125%. United States has tariffs of 145%. Basically we have had a lot of economic experts on to talk with you, Stephen Moore yesterday, the day before that, we talked with Art Laffer. We are going to talk with Larry Kudlow at about an hour from now at the top of the second hour of the program. Many of you watch his show Kudlow on Fox Business. He is a former high level Trump economic advisor and he will be on with us at one to talk about the absolute latest there. There are reports that there may be telephone calls between Trump and Chinese Premier Z, the leader there. We will keep you updated on that. But what's important to know is the pivot has really happened and the pivot has happened now where they are trying to argue, despite all evidence to the contrary, that Trump's trade war is already costing you more in terms of the goods that you are buying. And I just think it's important to understand what the Talking points so that you can push back against this again. Double inflation readings, early days of the Trump administration. The cost of goods, groceries, gas, all of that is coming down. Eggs. Everybody wanted to talk about eggs for a little while. Um, here is Jasmine Crockett, who has become, unfortunately for Democrats, one of the chief spokespeople of the Democrat Party right now, saying, cut 21, you can't afford your home groceries. What is she saying? Because there's deportations that are happening again. This is cut 22. This is absolutely unintelligible. Listen, we've got to do better to connect the dots and let people know. The reason you can't afford a home is because of these failed immigration policies. The reason you're not going to be able to afford your food is because of these failed immigration policies. And the same can go for the hospitality industries, where we have so many of those in the hospitality industry that are saying they do not have the workers that they need right now. All right, so the talking point now is not only the, the trade issues. Right. It is that Trump being focused on illegal immigration is actually creating the cost increase, which doesn't actually exist at all because the data reflects that the cost of goods is actually declining. Okay, so this is. This is interesting. Jasmine Crockett, to me, is a great example of how the Democrat Party has become broken in the way that they talk to so many Americans out there. And we discussed this yesterday when we had the Anderson Cooper town hall with Bernie Sanders and they had that attorney, the woman, stand up, and Anderson Cooper referred to her as she. And she said, actually it's they, them. And then she led into her next question, which was, why do men not support the Democrat Party? Which was too perfect. It was like they were trying to give us, in one talk back moment why they have collapsed. This is also interesting. We've talked about this some. Jasmine Crockett is a Houston, Texas area congresswoman. I believe maybe it was Dallas. She's from Texas. She actually went to super elite private schools. Her private school cost over $30,000 a year. Right now, this is someone that went to a school that you, most of you, could never afford to send your kids to. I'm a K through 12 public school kid. I couldn't have gone to a school like this when I was growing up. Here she is saying, hey, I really appreciate the sacrifices my parents made and how they pushed me as a kid and how they put me in. How they put me in great schools. Imagine if this was the message instead of, hey, all of the Lies. Trump is Hitler. It's just interesting to hear what Democrats said about back before they went insane. And I wanted to play this for you because I think it's emblematic of the era that we're in where Jasmine Crockett has to appear dumber, poor, least or less articulate than she actually is in her mind. To appeal to the Democrat base. Listen to cut 23. My parents worked multiple jobs, and I went to public school until the sixth grade. And then there were some problems with, like, the junior high, and they were very concerned, so they got additional jobs, and they worked to put me into private school. So I was in private school until I graduated high school. And it's interesting that my mom says that because she was one of those people that I didn't get to rest, right? Like, it wasn't a matter of go to school and maybe play some video games and maybe go outside. It was, you know, you've got to do del Teams. You've got to be active in inroads. You've got to do Upward Bound. You've got to do my. Like, the list goes on and on and on. Junior achievement. Of all the things that she had me doing, and I'm so appreciative to her now. I was very tired when I was young. I like this Jasmine Crockett. I like Jasmine Crockett's parents. Imagine if that was Jasmine Crockett's message and that was the Democrat Party's message. Imagine if she went out and she said, hey, the reason I'm successful is because my mom and dad busted their asses to put me in the best possible school that I could go to, because the local public school that I was going to was not taking me to the best place where I could go. Imagine if that was her message. Imagine if her message was, we got to buckle down. People have to work sometimes two jobs, three jobs, jump around from one place to another. Mom and dad may both have to work in order to give the best opportunity to their kids. That's something that connects with all of you out there. And even with that said, a lot of you couldn't afford the private school that Jasmine Crockett got the privilege of going to to get the education that she did. But the aspirational nature of her parents, the fact that they made her work her ass off and made her into someone who could be elected a congresswoman one day, that's something that has appeal. Why isn't that the Democrat message? Think about how lost they are that Jasmine Crockett who went to private school in an elite private school from 6th to 12th grade and then went off to college because of it, now feels compelled to talk to her Texas constituents like she doesn't have an education at all. What does that say about the Democrat Party? What does it say when you have to appear dumber than you are in public and you rarely share the real story of your life because you're convinced it doesn't connect with the constituency you're trying to speak to? Because that's not good. Whatever position you have, if you ever have to appear dumber than you are in order to get somewhere, that's not something you should aspire to do. And by the way, getting on my soapbox, if you're ever in a relationship with someone where you feel compelled, whether it's a friend, whether it's a boyfriend, girlfriend, where you feel compelled to act like a dumber version of yourself to fit in, you don't need to be there and it's not very good for you. That's the Democrat Party writ large. How many of you knew that about Jasmine Crockett? How many of you are aware of her background in any way? I'd like to get Jasmine Crockett's parents on the show. Are they proud of the language that she has adopted? Maybe just because she's their daughter, but I don't know, based on the way that they raised her, it doesn't sound like she's living by the values that they created in her. It doesn't sound like she's espousing the same American dream that they had for her. I just think it's so interesting what Democrats choose to focus on when they actually tell their stories and sometimes how incredibly dishonest it actually is. Take some of your calls, 800-282-2882.

BUCK SEXTON SHOW I talked about the news of the day so far being essentially that inflation continues to decline, which is a very, very good news sign. I want to play a couple of those cuts for you because I think it's important. There's going to be a lot of talk out there. Oh, Trump's tariffs, they're going to increase costs overall? Actually, I'm not sure that's true at all. And I've told you for some time that the average person, and I would put myself in this category, drives and notices the price of gas more than almost anything. And we are rapidly moving towards under $3 a gallon gas, which for many of you out there driving around across your country, that is the average cost of a gallon of unleaded gas that we are headed to all over the country. And that is because there's major deflationary pressure as it pertains to the overall cost of gas. Also, groceries are actually declining below the rate of inflation. That is for most people out there, the things that you notice the most, and I put myself in this category, is what does gas cost and what does your food cost? After going up massive amounts under Joe Biden, the numbers are now turning negative under Trump, that is you are paying less for gas and you are paying less for your groceries relative to the overall inflation rate. And here is evidence of that for the second time this week from both CNN and cnbc. Let's start with cnn. This is their report on inflation continuing to decline. This is the second report we've gotten this week cut for this is the second day in a row we're getting some encouraging news on the cost of living. So we're talking about the producer price index. This is wholesale inflation before it gets to all of us as consumers. And we were expecting an increase in prices month over month. We did not get that. We got a drop in prices. Look at this point, 4%, that is much better than anticipated. The annual rate we were anticipating around 3.3%. We did not get that. We got a much lower number, 2.7%. This is a deceleration. And when we look at the trend we can see that things have certainly improved from a few years ago when it comes to inflation. Okay, things have improved. That is cnn. Okay. That's what CNN telling their audience here is cnbc. These are not super pro Trump networks discussing what I'm telling you which are costs are going down cut five. These are our march read on producer price index, the more wholesale side of the inflation equation. And they're big numbers. Down 410 on headline down 4 10. That would be equal to where we were in October of 23. And if we find a lower number, you're going all the way back to April of 2020 and the COVID affected era and that was down 1.2%. So good numbers, great numbers even when it comes to what things are costing coming directly out of your pocketbook to a large extent gas and groceries. I just want you to have the actual data. We'll break that down for you and more when we come back. 800-282-2882. If you want to weigh in Friday, you can ask questions about anything. We'll have some fun.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling into the weekend. Stock market calm today. Nothing crazy going on. It's up a little bit. It seems again that we have gotten a little bit of the universe out there. Used to what is going on and I wanted to make sure that you also understand that they still have the exact same playbook that they've been trying for a decade now. And that decade worth of playbook is that they are going to try to still tell you that Donald Trump is Hitler. You know, yesterday we had a really good conversation, I thought, and I encourage you to go check it out with Douglas Murray. And he was talking about on democracies and death cults and the overall impact of the lies that have been told to so many of our school kids and the historical illiteracy that that breeds such that really there's only one historical analogy that most people can even make, and it is everything relates to World War II and Trump is Hitler. Whoever you don't like in politics is Hitler. And you sit back and you recognize for somebody like me who's a history nerd and loves studying American history, we're about to have the 250th anniversary of the country next year. A party, by the way, that Trump is going to throw and should be amazing. But we've got 250 years worth of American history to go draw historical analogies from. Yet, by and large, the only historical analogy that anybody can connect to is World War II. Everything that happens is seen through the prism of World War II. If you think about Ukraine, what did they say? Oh, Vladimir Putin, is Hitler really. Is he going to really invade multiple European countries and move beyond Ukraine and start a world war? That feels very unlikely to me, particularly because he can't even take over Ukraine just from a historical knowledge. The Blitzkrieg was pretty effective, right? Hitler swept right through Europe very rapidly. And the only reason that he didn't take over Great Britain was because of the English Channel and because of the incredible bravery of the average British person to go rescue the British army at Dunkirk, which I would argue is maybe the coolest, maybe the most impressive moment almost in Western history, if you think about saving Western civilization from the Nazis. The fact that they got on the radio, go study this. Nobody ever talks about it, by and large. The fact that they got on the radio and they said to everybody in England, hey, if you have a boat, can you go rescue the British Army? And they did it. The museum. I've had the good fortune as a history nerd to be able to go. The Royal Museum in London focused on World War II. And I'm not sure exactly what the name of that museum is. See if the team in there can, can let me know what the name of that museum is, because it is pretty incredible. There's the Churchill war Rooms which is one of the coolest history tours that I think you can do. It looks the exact same. It's where Winston Churchill was in London Underground, where they managed the war. And they still have all the maps on the walls. It looks the exact same. They basically left there when they had the victory celebration, and they have recreated it. You can see the cots that Winston Churchill was sleeping in. It's incredible. One of the coolest history things you can do. I've talked about this before. I've gotten to go to the battle fields all over France, where you can see and walk those beaches and see still so many of the German pillboxes. It looks almost identical to 80 years ago. But when you go to that British Museum, they have some of the boats that went out to go rescue British soldiers. Some of them are basically rowboats. Everybody who had a boat just went to Dunkirk and rescued the entirety of the British army to allow them to even continue that war. The expectation was from Hitler's team, we're basically defeating not only the French, but we are eliminating the entire British army. They were saved. And then some of those same soldiers ended up coming back across on the shore on D Day to come back and liberate France. And so when you get to see some of those boats, that's maybe the most incredible thing that is out there. And it is just. It's an incredible experience to be able to go see that. Well, they don't take any of the super positive lessons, by and large, of, hey, this is what a country can do when everybody comes together and everybody puts their actual lives on the line to go get in their private ships and, frankly, rowboats almost, and go and get some of these guys. And again, you can see the boats and you're like, man, I can't even believe they were picking up soldiers in. These guys were coming in. That's how fearless they were to stand up. That's everybody pulling together. That story doesn't get told very often. Instead, what they try to say is, okay, anybody who I disagree with is Hitler. And we were talking with Douglas Murray about this, and again, this is why historical literacy matters and why I was glad to get to go to Israel in December. Trump is more popular in Israel than he is in Wyoming, than he is in West Virginia, which I believe were the two states that were the most supportive of Trump in the most recent election. I don't think Hitler would be super popular today in Israel. Right. So this is so historically illiterate on the analogy, but also, even in the modern Day. Trump is probably the most popular American president in our lives in the actual country of Israel, which is filled with tons of Jewish people whose lives are on the line every single day because of what happened on October 7. But they are still trying to make the argument, hey, can we just have a president who's not Hitler? I think it's important for you to understand they have one note and they keep hitting it again and again. This is supposed to be comedy. This is the Daily show yesterday saying, cut 27. Is it too much to ask for a president who's not Hitler? 95 of these executive orders are about punishing people who are just disagree with him. So I'm fine with side quest Trump. Okay. Would you go up to Hitler and be like, why are you painting? You've got work to do. Is it too much to ask for a president who's not Hitler? Yes, apparently it is. So just focus on the wins. Yes. He's putting Dora the Explorer on a flight to El Salvador. Okay. But he's declared that anyone on the flight who asks for a soda has to get a whole can. Okay, so Trump is Hitler. Ha ha. Look how funny it is. The whole crowd roars. But he's actually the most popular president in the history of Israel, and the Jewish people there would vote for him by margins that are similar to West Virginia and Wyoming. Isn't that kind of a significant factor? And if we're going to use only World War II as the entire historical record to try to analogize to everything, it reminds me of when I was in school. Do you ever have one friend or maybe multiple friends, or maybe it was you who didn't do the actual school readings? You'd get the old Cliff Notes, the Spark Notes, whatever it was called. Most of the time. I loved all I'm a nerd. I read all the books, you know, cover to cover. I think I never skipped a signed reading because I love to read Nerd and I love history. I know nerd, But I had a buddy who never read. He read one book that we were assigned, like, the whole time we were in school, and it was Lord of the Flies. Remember Lord of the Flies? And as a result, because he had only read one book in his life, he would analogize everything that happened to Lord of the Flies. He had one pop culture book that he'd ever read. Everything reminded him of what happened in Lord of the Flies because he was so poorly read that he had no other analogies to draw. That's Democrats with Trump. They're so historically Illiterate that they have such a lack of foundational knowledge that no matter what happens, it draws them back to Trump is Hitler. It is the black hole from which they cannot escape. And yet that analogy is completely broken. And the fact that it's been going on for a decade is maybe the most dishonest example of how Trump has been covered. The fact that that is where unceasingly, no matter what's going on, they eventually get drawn back to the black hole of Trump is Hitler. Because they're like my buddy who only read one book, and therefore everything that he saw was something that happened in Lord of the Flies. By the way, not a bad book, but you should read more than one book and you should study more than one time in history. There's 250 years of America. But by the way, you could make a historical analogy. I know this is crazy to something that happened outside of the United States of America, because the great thing about our country is, thankfully, our founders were not historically illiterate. The reason we have the government that we have today is because they studied all of recorded history, saw the pratfalls, the errors that different countries had that were when they were founded and tried to build a framework that would withstand the past challenges of time, they built upon prior history to try to create something new. So, thankfully, our founding fathers actually read more than one book and actually were well versed on something other than one particular aspect of history. But I do think it's important when you hear that note getting hit again and again, it's not only that it's untrue and unsound, it's that also it is indicative of profound historical illiteracy because the actual study of that point in time is not the lesson that's even being applied accurately. It's like my buddy in school who read one book and everything reminded him of Lord of the Flies. That's Democrats today. Look, if you own a firearm, by the way, we're going to take some calls.

Larry Kudlow going to be with us top of the next hour. Economic expert to make sure that we have the best possible knowledge for all of you as well as me as it comes to tariffs, as it comes to economic battles. But Dennis in Annapolis, Maryland, remembered the name of the museum that I'm giving an incredible endorsement to in London. DENNIS I spent the day there. I should have remembered the name, but you got it for us. What am I talking about? I think it's CLAY I think you're talking about the Imperial War Museum. That's exactly right. And then you got Churchill's Cabinet war rooms. That's right. That's separate. Those are two different places. Have you been to both as well? DENNIS Yes, I have. You agree with me that those are incredible places to visit for history nerds. Exactly. Could spend hours there. Thank you for the call and thank you for, for correcting me there. Imperial War Museum I It is. I spent a ton of time there. I think seeing those ships that they put the British soldiers in at Dunkirk in person, it's life changing. I mean, it's just ennobling to know how brave people have been in the past to stand for their country and be willing to put their lives on the line as civilians to ensure that tyranny doesn't win. I mean, you don't have to be British to be inspired by bravery from the Brits. And they were incredibly brave in the way that they responded to that and frankly in the way that they responded to the bombings that went on in London. If you want to read great stories about just incredible civilian bravery, what they withstood to avoid agreeing to a peace deal with Hitler, Hitler didn't think that they could handle the British blitzkrieg of bombing that they put upon them and they did. And I think it's the Churchill's right. They're one of the greatest moments in the history of western civilization. Ellen in Martinburg, Martinsburg, West Virginia, what you got? Hi, Clay. Love your show. Martinsburg, West Virginia. Hey, what were you, you were saying from Wyoming and West Virginia are trouble spots for Trump? No, no, no. West Virginia. No. I appreciate you calling and listening. I don't think I said that. What I said was no states in America love Trump more than West Virginia and Wyoming. They voted for Trump roughly 70, 30. I am saying something that I don't think gets talked about enough. If Israel, the country of Israel could vote for president of the United States, Israel would have voted for Trump by a margin like West Virginia and Wyoming did. In other words, Israel as a country would be die hard Trump country just like West Virginia is and just like Wyoming is. It would be among the Trumpiest of all the states, which nobody talks about, by the way. I don't think Hitler would get 70% of the vote in Israel. Just tossing it out there. When we come back, Larry Kudlow for the absolute latest on the tariff wars, their impact and what you need to know. Third straight day else elite economic tutelage coming to you next.
