Evan finally tapping out on winter, then immediately pivots into the strangest market story in New York sports right now: why Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden has turned into a premium ticket that is somehow bigger than recent LeBron visits and even other historic regular-season moments. Evan challenges the idea that this is about a “last chance” to see LeBron James at MSG, arguing there is no real Garden legacy the way Michael Jordan had, and questioning why the cheaper Barclays Center option does not scratch the same itch. Then the twist: a caller insists the real draw is Luka Dončić, not LeBron, which sends the crew into a full LeBron vs Luka demand debate, including the “iconic player, iconic venue” argument and whether paying that kind of money is actually worth it years later. From there the segment veers into pure Nets anxiety. A caller asks for a sanity check on reports and speculation linking Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Brooklyn Nets, and Evan goes off: if the Nets chase Giannis right now while tanking, he wants heads to roll. He breaks down what is real reporting versus dot-connecting, why offseason timing matters, and why Brooklyn should only be involved as a facilitator for assets, not as a desperate buyer. The rant brings back an all-time flashback to Evan's on-air reaction to the James Harden trade, and he warns that a Giannis move would make that meltdown look tame.

The conversation picks up on the Jon Gruden storyline with Evan laying out why, if the idea truly came from ownership, it would signal just how desperate the New York Jets might be. Evan argues that if Jon Gruden ever returns to coaching, it would take both money and real power, and the Jets might be the only team willing to hand him the keys to the franchise. The crew also discusses the unspoken reality that any team openly embracing Gruden could face quiet backlash from the rest of the league, even if fans never see it publicly. From there, the phones flip the segment toward hockey and New York sports pride. Callers gush over Matthew Schaefer, with bold claims that he is already the new king of New York sports. Evan pushes back on the hype, agreeing Schaefer is special but cautioning against crowning dynasties after a few months, which turns into a heated back and forth about prospects, sure things, and why fans always protect their own guys. The segment closes with a classic Knicks history argument as callers debate who really kept the New York Knicks from winning a championship in the 1990s. Evan breaks down why both Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon were roadblocks, but draws a clear distinction with LeBron James, arguing LeBron never haunted the Knicks the way Jordan did, and that the lingering resentment toward him says more about fan emotion than actual history.

Part 5 is the back half of the episode where the chat drives the direction, the panel ties bows on the biggest themes, and the show lands the plane on a classic Episode 300 sendoff. We start by reacting to the comment stream and a surprisingly useful debate: what percentage of card show purchases are actually planned vs pure impulse. The answer matters more than people think, especially if you're a dealer deciding what to put in the case. Then we pivot into a second topic that hits everyone who buys online: photo integrity. Sticker auto vs on-card is the example, but the real question is bigger. How much editing is acceptable, what crosses the line, and what buyers should do when an image feels off. The takeaway is simple: if the photo is misleading, the sale is contaminated. We also touch the Hobby Spectrum directory snapshot, the ongoing Michael Jordan one-of-one decision, merch plans, and wrap Episode 300 with some fun “300” facts and community shoutouts. At a card show, are you a checklist hunter or a “let's see what hits me” buyer? Have you ever bought a card where the photo made it look better than reality? What should be the rule for auction houses: zero editing, or “reasonable” adjustments? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, we take you behind the scenes of a recent Stephen Curry signing that had everything uncertainty, rare collectibles, international collectors, and moments you never see as a fan.We talk about what it is really like working with an NBA superstar of Curry's stature and why, despite the pressure and expectations, Stephen continues to be one of the most courteous and generous athletes we work with. From signing for an hour and a half after a game to sitting down and eating pizza with us late into the night, this signing showed exactly why Curry is respected far beyond the court.We break down the details collectors care about, including how Curry holds the pen when he signs, why part of the C in his autograph can occasionally skip, and why that consistency matters. We also dive into some of the incredible items that came through the signing, including 2009 Topps Chrome Refractor rookie cards limited to 500, numbered and patch cards, a signed bourbon bottle, Warriors multi signed photos, and even a dual signed basketball with Michael Jordan.You will also hear about two collectors who traveled from Guangzhou, China to have items signed for their customers, the global reach of Curry's autograph, and the signing nearly being canceled due to issues outside the arena before Stephen made the decision to sign anyway after the game.If you love autographs, rare cards, and real behind the scenes stories from the memorabilia world, this is an episode you do not want to miss.https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/

B-B-B-B-B-Basketball!!! While that Roundball Rock theme song hits the ears of NBA fans this year like fine wine, what made the original NBA on NBC such a memorable time other than Michael Jordan and the John Tesh theme? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, have quite a few reasons to discuss in this countdown episode reminiscing about some great Association moments on the Peacock between 1990 and 2002. In part one, we go from 20 to 11, and let's see how many times M.J. does NOT make the list (You might wind up being surprised!). Was the 1999 lockout-shortened, scoring-depleted season sneakily one of the most memorable post seasons in NBA history? How much did the Knicks and Heat REALLY hate each other? How many times did Charles Smith get that shot blocked? What was Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson's greatest moments on NBC? We discuss all this and much more in Part 1! So suit up your retro unis and take it out with THE NBA-Team!

Go to www.LearningLeader.com to learn more This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author and leading expert on sustainable performance and well-being. He's written for The New York Times, Outside Magazine, and The Atlantic, and his previous books include Peak Performance and The Practice of Groundedness. His latest book, The Way of Excellence, is great. Brad's writing combines cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom, and stories from world-class performers to help people do their best work without losing themselves in the process. Notes: Never pre-judge a performance. When you're feeling tired, uninspired, or off your game, show up anyway. Remember the Beatles scene—they looked bored and exhausted, but Paul still wrote "Get Back" that day. You don't know what's possible until you get going. Discipline means doing what needs to be done regardless of how you feel. As powerlifter Layne Norton says, we don't need to feel good to get going... We need to get going to give ourselves a chance to feel good. Stop waiting for motivation. Start moving and let the feeling follow. Audit who you're surrounding yourself with. The Air Force study is striking: the least fit person in your squadron determines everyone else's fitness level. If you sit within 25 feet of a high performer at work, your performance improves 15%. Within 25 feet of a low performer? It declines 30%. Your environment isn't neutral... Choose wisely. Treat curiosity like a muscle. It's a reward-based behavior that gets stronger with use. When Kobe said he played "to figure things out," he was tapping into the neural circuitry that makes learning feel good and builds upon itself. Ask more questions. Stay curious about your craft. Excellence isn't about perfection or optimization... It's about mastery and mattering. It's about showing up consistently, surrounding yourself wisely, and staying curious along the way. To the late Robert Pirsig - one of the greatest blessings and joys and sources of satisfaction in my life is to be in conversation with your work. He's the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance— "gumption is the psychic gasoline that keeps the whole thing going." Arrogant people are loud. Confident people are quiet. Confidence requires evidence. The neural circuitry associated with curiosity is like a muscle: it gets stronger with use. Curiosity is what neuroscientists call a reward-based behavior. It feels good, motivates us to keep going, and builds upon itself. Kobe didn't play to win. He played to learn and grow. Kobe Bryant said he didn't play not to lose, and he didn't even play to win. He played to learn and to grow. He said the reason he did that is because it's so much more freeing. If you're really trying not to lose, you're going to be tight. If you're really trying to win, you're going to be tight. But if you're just out there to grow, you're going to be in the moment. When you're in the moment, you give yourself the best chance of having the performance you want. The word compete comes from the Latin root word com, which means together, and petere, which means to seek, rise up, or strive. In its most genuine form, competition is about rising together (Caitlin Clark's story against LSU). Love: The Detroit Lions had just won their first playoff game in 32 years. Following the game was a scene of pure jubilation. During a short break from the celebrating, the head coach, GM, and quarterback all gave brief speeches. Which collectively lasted about 2 minutes. During those 2 minutes, the word LOVE was repeated 7 times. Homeostatic regulation -- Sense it in the greatness of others and when you're at your best. What Brad calls "excellence." Surround yourself with people who have high standards. When things don't go your way, when you're inevitably heartbroken or frustrated, it's the people around you, the books you read, the art around you, the music you listen to, that's the stuff that speaks to you and keeps you going. It keeps you on the path even amidst the heartbreak. Process goals work better than outcome goals for most people. If you're an amateur, you should be process-focused. When I train for powerlifting, I don't think about the meet that I'm training for. I think about showing up for the session today. If I think about the meeting, I get anxious, and my performance goes down. But if you're Steph Curry and you've been doing your thing for 20 years, you can think about winning the gold medal because your process is so automatic. For 99% of people, focus on the process. "Brave New World" turns fear into curiosity. When you walk up to a bar loaded with more weight than you've ever touched, there can be fear about what it's going to feel like. If you go up to the bar with fear, you're going to miss the lift. If you're convinced you're going to make it, you'll make it, but your nervous system knows when you're lying to yourself. The middle ground is curiosity. Instead of saying "that's heavy, it's scary," I say "Brave New World. I've never touched this weight before. I have no idea what's going to happen, but let's find out." It splits the difference. I'm hyped, I'm giving myself a chance, I'm not lying to myself, but I'm also not scared. Curiosity and fear cannot exist at the same time in the brain. There are seven pathways in the brain defined by affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp. Two of those pathways are the rage/fear pathway and the seeking/curiosity pathway. These pathways cannot be turned on at the same time. They compete for resources. It's a zero sum game. You cannot simultaneously be raging and curious. You cannot be terrified and curious at the same time. If you get into a mindset of curiosity, it's extremely hard to be angry or terrified. By being curious, we turn off the fear deep in our brains and give ourselves a chance to perform our best. Practice curiosity in lower-consequence situations first. Curiosity is like a muscle. If you're about to do something absolutely terrifying and you're really scared and you say, "I'm just going to be curious," you know you're lying to yourself. You have to practice in lower-consequence situations first. When you, as a paren,t get really upset with your kid, try to be curious about their experience. Watch your anger calm down. When you as a leader, have a board presentation where you're feeling anxious, try to have that mindset of "Brave New World." When you're an athlete going into a big game obsessing about what could go wrong, try to be really curious instead. The best competitors have emotional flexibility. As a competitor, you would know that in the confines of the game, you're not singing Kumbaya, you are trying to kill them. Then you have the emotional flexibility the minute that game ends to respect them as a person. That is the best way to compete. That's when our best performances happen. It's not either/or, it's both/and. It's playing really hard, giving everything you can for the win, seizing on your opponent's vulnerability, at the same time as having deep respect for them. You don't have to be miserable to be excellent. There are people like David Goggins or Michael Jordan who seem motivated by anger and a chip on their shoulder. But Jordan would put his tongue out like this primal expression of joy when he was about to dunk. And Jordan won all his championships while being coached by Phil Jackson, the Zen master of compassion. There are the Steph Currys of the world, or Courtney Dauwalter (best ultra marathoner to ever exist), or Albert Einstein (total mystic who had so much fun in his work). There are two ways to the top of the mountain. For 99.999% of people, you end up performing better with fun and joy, and you have so much more satisfaction, which contributes to longevity. The best leaders take work seriously but laugh at themselves. The best leaders I know in the corporate world, they take the work so seriously. They are so intense. But my God, do they laugh at themselves and their colleagues and have fun. Reflection Questions Brad says, "The things that break your heart are the things that fill your life with meaning." What are you currently holding back from caring deeply about because you're afraid of getting hurt? What would it look like to step fully into that arena despite the risk of heartbreak? The Air Force study showed that sitting within 25 feet of a low performer decreases your performance by 30%. Honestly assess who you're spending the most time with right now. Are they raising your standards or lowering them? What specific change could you make this month to shift your environment? Brad uses "Brave New World" to turn fear into curiosity before big challenges. Think of something coming up that makes you anxious. Instead of trying to convince yourself you'll succeed or dwelling on the fear, what does it feel like to approach it with pure curiosity: "I've never done this before. Let's find out what happens."

Mike and Jesse are back with Papa Gio to take on the viral 2016 vs 2026 challenge by looking back at the state of the sports card hobby exactly ten years ago. They break down the shocking price differences for iconic cards like the Michael Jordan rookie and Tom Brady Bowman Chrome to see just how much the market has exploded since COVID and the pre-investor era. The guys also react to some wild statistics about box prices from a decade ago and debate whether the "pure collector" days of 2016 were truly better than the modern hobby. The crew also breaks some MASSIVE NEWS regarding the upcoming 2026 Topps Series 1 release. They reveal that the product will be the exclusive home for the legendary 1952 design on rookie cards, including Jonah Tong (Mets), Jacob Misiorowski (Brewers), Payton Tolle (Red Sox), Carson Williams (Rays), CJ Kayfus (Guardians) and more. They'll all also have on-card autos. After this, the 1952 design will be gone for good. Later in the show, they discuss the sold-out Disney packs on Arena Club and do a live rip of a $100 slab pack to see if Mike can pull a monster card. Finally, they wrap up with the latest release calendar, a Denver news station contacting the show for Jarrett Stidham analysis, and a mailbag segment featuring selling tool questions and Malik Willis.

This Episode Is Sponsored By The Soul Desire Challenge: https://www.thinkandgrowrichworkshop.com/challenge Here's something nobody tells you about imagination: it's either building your future or quietly sabotaging it. Most entrepreneurs have turned imagination into a bedtime story—vision boards, manifestation rituals, and visualizing outcomes. Then they wonder why nothing moves forward. The problem isn't imagination itself. It's how you're using it. In this episode, Sean Osborn breaks down The Imagination Trap—why your brain resists unfamiliar effort, and how elite performers use mental rehearsal to train their nervous system before reality demands execution. This is neuroscience-backed, performance-tested, and immediately actionable. --- WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✓ The Fatal Flaw in Traditional Visualization Why imagining success actually keeps you stuck—and what your brain is really screaming for instead. ✓ What Olympic Athletes Actually Visualize Spoiler: It's not standing on the podium. It's the breath before the dive, the muscle tension in the turn, the split-second decision under pressure. ✓ The Fast:OS vs. Slow:OS Framework How your reactive brain and strategic brain work together—and why most people only train one of them. ✓ Sean's Personal Rehearsal Practice The exact mental rehearsal process Sean uses before every launch, difficult conversation, and high-stakes moment. ✓ The 5-Minute Action Step A simple practice you can do today to remove resistance from any task you've been avoiding. ✓ Why "Visualization Doesn't Work" for Most People The one thing missing from every manifestation practice—and how to fix it immediately. --- KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: "Visualization doesn't work because you want something. It works because your brain rehearses it." "Your brain doesn't resist success. Your brain resists unfamiliar effort." "Imagination isn't magic. It's rehearsal. And rehearsal removes resistance." "Most people use imagination to escape reality. Elite performers use it to prepare for reality." "When you visualize outcomes only, your nervous system stays untrained. When you visualize execution, your nervous system gets familiar with the work." --- FEATURED INSIGHTS: • Napoleon Hill's "workshop of the mind" concept—and how it got corrupted into vision boards • Michael Jordan on expectation vs. wishful thinking • Modern neuroscience on how your brain can't distinguish between vividly imagined experience and real experience • Why the same neural circuits activate during mental rehearsal as during actual performance • The difference between confidence and conditioning --- ACTION STEP: Pick one task you've been avoiding. Set a 5-minute timer. Close your eyes and mentally walk through DOING it successfully—not perfectly, but calmly and competently. Feel the resistance in your body.

We wrap Jonathan's debut, run through some of the best chat comments from the “house of slabs” discussion, and one line stops the show: “A PSA 10 transforms a sports card into a financial instrument.” From there, the conversation sharpens into what grading really does, how speed impacts accuracy, and why some collectors are starting to sober up from slab worship. Jonathan gets a proper community welcome and we bring on Chris HOJ, followed by Josh Adams. Then the episode pivots hard into a collector dilemma that hits every nerve in the hobby: a major Michael Jordan 90s 1 of 1 is headed to auction, and Chris is considering a seismic consolidation to chase it. We debate what you gain, what you lose, and whether “nuking” a carefully curated collection is ever worth one apex card. Jeremy argues the memories, stories, and future content pipeline matter more than the trophy. Josh says do it and never look back. Joe lands in the middle: the 1 of 1 stamp matters, it's probably financially defensible, but you still need a number and a plan because deeper pockets exist. Chris explains the real point of talking it out: dialogue changes how you see everything, and collectors make versions of this decision every day, including the decision to do nothing. In this part, we cover: The chat's best lines on grading, consistency, and “too big to fail” thinking “PSA 10 as a financial instrument” and why that framing is so accurate Jonathan's official welcome into the community Chris HOJ and Josh Adams join, and the MJ 1 of 1 auction dilemma kicks off One card vs a whole collection, and what “replaceable” really means Consolidation as sacrifice, strategy, and identity, not just money Why talking it out changes decisions, and why inaction is still a decision Follow Sports Cards Live on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube for full episodes and live shows Leave a rating and review to help more collectors find the show Drop a comment: would you consolidate your collection for one apex grail, or never?

Have you ever wished you could sit down with someone who has truly mastered their craft? Michael Jordan on winning; Mozart on music; Leonardo Da Vinci on creativity. Not just to review their highlight reels but to unpack all the lessons they learned across their lives? Well, that's what today's conversation feels like because today we get to listen to John C Maxwell talk about leadership.   John Maxwell is a world-renowned leadership expert and best-selling author who has trained countless leaders across industries and across the globe. It's no exaggeration to say that he has helped define the shape of modern leadership. John's life is an example of what can happen when someone stays curious, humble and committed to growth for decades, and there also something truly about getting to learn from someone who has run their race well and stayed faithful to growth over the long haul.

#681: Barry Ritholtz's mom sold real estate. Those dinner table conversations about mortgages helped him spot the 2008 crash before most of Wall Street did. Now he runs Ritholtz Wealth Management and joins us to explain why we're often our own worst investment enemy. He breaks investing mistakes into three categories: bad ideas, bad numbers, and bad behavior. Here's what stood out. Research shows just 2 percent of stocks create all the market's value. The other 98 percent? Pretty much worthless. Barry says 90 percent of everything is garbage — from science fiction to investment advice. Even experts have blind spots. Michael Jordan dominated basketball but couldn't make it in minor league baseball. The lesson? Being brilliant at one thing doesn't make you brilliant at everything. Those financial memes everyone shares? They're misleading. Take Kevin's Home Alone groceries — $20 in 1990, $75 today. Sounds terrible until you realize wages went up the same amount. We actually spend less of our income on food now. Or that scary stat about the dollar losing 96 percent of its value over 100 years. Barry asks: who buries cash for a century? His math: $1,000 buried in 1925 buys almost nothing today. Same $1,000 invested in stocks? It's worth $32 million. Markets don't die of old age. Alan Greenspan warned about "irrational exuberance" in 1996. The Nasdaq kept climbing another 431 percent over four years. Recessions need triggers. They don't show up on schedule like buses. Fear wrecks more portfolios than anything else. Barry quotes neurologist William Bernstein: "Control your amygdala or die poor." Our fight-or-flight response helped us escape predators. It doesn't help us navigate market crashes. Make your investment plan before crisis hits. As Barry says, reading emergency instructions while the engine falls off at 25,000 feet is too late. He's seen every crash since 1987. Markets drop 30 to 40 percent about once a decade. Accept it. Plan for it. Barry advocates for Roth conversions and something called the "Mega Roth." Pay taxes now, withdraw tax-free later. We know today's tax rates. Future rates are anyone's guess. His bottom line: humans are terrible at predicting the future. Build portfolios that can survive anything, because anything will happen. Timestamps: Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising run times.

Send us a textIs the Oklahoma City Thunder a budding dynasty or a team that hasn't met its "Detroit Pistons" yet?In this deep dive, we explore the evolution of Michael Jordan from a statistically explosive rookie to a disciplined champion, and how that transformation serves as a warning for the modern-day OKC Thunder. While popular myths suggest MJ's dominance was inevitable, the reality was a precise, often tense psychological battle between refined instinct and defensive system.In this Episode, we discuss:The "Jordan Rules" Diagnosis: How the Detroit Pistons used "diagnostic pressure" to turn Chicago's best instincts into a predictable tell.Phil Jackson's Triangle as "Delay Technology": Why the famous offense wasn't about teaching Jordan to trust, but about forcing a "delay" to make his teammates consequential.The Scottie Pippen Game 7 Symbol: Re-evaluating the 1990 migraine through the lens of compressed space and psychological pressure.The OKC Thunder's Unfinished Question: Why their current "egalitarian" success is untested by the deep frustration that forced the Bulls to evolve.Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs. The Apex: Comparing SGA's economical restraint to Jordan's early-career "responsibility".The 1991 Bulls didn't win because Jordan became "generous"—they won because he became strategic and learned to govern his own reflexes8. Does Mark Daigneault's 0.5 system provide the same containment, or is the Thunder's real test still waiting in the wings?Until next time Keep your eyes up and your dribble low. Support the showDid you know we are one of the Top 30 Collage Podcasts in the World! https://podcast.feedspot.com/college_basketball_podcasts/?feedid=5529823&_src=f1_featured_email Support the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/support https://youtube.com/@IconicSeasons Connect on Social https://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/

In this episode, I break down effort versus inevitability using Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan as examples. This is not about basketball, it's about two very different performance energies. Effort is when you try hard and push to make things happen. Inevitability is when you know the result is coming, even if you can't explain how. I explain why both can create greatness, but why inevitability is the higher level to operate from. Show Notes: [32:18]#1 Effort is loud, inevitability is quiet. [11:49]#2 Effort tries to win where inevitability expects to win. [22:03]#3 Effort is fueled by will.  [25:58] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making. Details live here: http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com/Mastermind  This Masterclass is the public record of standards. Private enforcement happens elsewhere.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Twist of Irony Clay and Buck dive into the fallout from the historic Delta Force raid in Venezuela, which captured Nicolás Maduro and killed 32 Cuban bodyguards. They explore the strategic implications of Operation Absolute Resolve, framing it as a modern reaffirmation of the Monroe Doctrine and a bold move by President Trump to reassert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere. The hosts discuss how this operation signals a shift in global power dynamics, undermining Chinese and Russian influence and exposing the weakness of authoritarian regimes like Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran. Republicans Stay at Hotels, Too Hilton Hotels cut ties with a franchisee after reports surfaced that ICE agents’ reservations were canceled. Clay and Buck frame this as a major shift in corporate behavior, contrasting today’s swift response with the era of performative activism during 2020. They credit the Bud Light backlash as a turning point, warning brands against alienating half the country and highlighting Michael Jordan’s timeless advice: “Republicans buy sneakers too.” From corporate culture, the discussion pivots to economic policy and tariffs, as Buck cites new research showing Trump’s tariff strategy did not fuel inflation, contrary to predictions by mainstream economists. Clay and Buck argue that tariffs, combined with strong GDP growth, could help balance the federal budget by 2026–2027 if upheld by the Supreme Court. They blast the failures of modern monetary theory and Biden-era spending, emphasizing common-sense economics and Trump’s vindication on trade policy. What Happens in NY, Won't Stay in NY Clay and Buck discussing the decline of New York City under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, warning that his radical socialist agenda—framed as replacing “rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”—could devastate property rights and public safety. They highlight viral clips of Mamdani’s allies advocating for housing as a “collective good,” signaling a push toward shared equity models that undermine private ownership. The hosts argue this reflects the broader influence of unmarried progressive women on Democratic policy, calling them the driving force behind destructive cultural and political trends. The conversation shifts to economic migration and the future of financial hubs, citing predictions that Miami and South Florida could replace New York as America’s financial capital, while tech billionaires flock to Texas. Clay and Buck attribute this to post-COVID remote work flexibility and tax advantages in states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee, contrasting these environments with high-tax states such as New York and California. They warn that as wealthy residents flee, blue states will raise taxes further, accelerating the exodus. TX Rep. Chip Roy An in-depth interview with Congressman Chip Roy, who praises President Trump’s bold leadership in Operation Absolute Resolve, the mission that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Roy explains the strategic importance of stabilizing Venezuela, restoring its oil production, and preventing resources from flowing to adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran. He emphasizes that this is not “nation-building” but a critical move to secure the Western Hemisphere under the Trump Doctrine, strengthen U.S. energy independence, and protect national security. Roy also warns of challenges ahead, including corruption within Venezuela’s regime, and stresses the need for strong rule of law and economic recovery. The discussion then pivots to the Somali daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota, which has rocked Governor Tim Walz’s political career. Clay and Buck play audio from Walz’s defiant press conference, where he vows not to resign despite mounting evidence of billions in fraudulent welfare payments. Roy underscores how grassroots investigations—like the viral exposé by a 23-year-old YouTuber—are filling the void left by legacy media, signaling a new era of citizen journalism and accountability. He calls for aggressive federal prosecutions, noting that fraud tied to federal funds warrants U.S. attorney involvement, and predicts that heads will roll as investigations expand nationwide.
