The first hour of today’s show kicks off 2026 with explosive news and in-depth analysis of one of the most daring U.S. military operations in decades. Clay and Buck break down the historic Delta Force raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, comparing its complexity to the Osama bin Laden mission. They detail how elite U.S. special operations forces executed a flawless plan involving cyber warfare, blackout tactics, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, and intelligence precision—resulting in zero American casualties. The hosts emphasize the strategic implications for the Western Hemisphere, noting ripple effects on Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran, and how this bold move reinforces President Trump’s “mess around and find out” foreign policy. The discussion explores Maduro’s arraignment in Manhattan federal court on drug trafficking and weapons charges, the future of Venezuela post-Maduro, and contrasts Trump’s decisive action with prior Democratic administrations. Clay and Buck highlight the hypocrisy of critics like Chuck Schumer and newly elected NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who condemned the operation as “regime change,” sparking debate over international law and U.S. national security priorities. Listeners also hear about the collapse of Cuba’s oil lifeline, Venezuela’s economic freefall under socialism, and the potential for renewed prosperity in Latin America. The hosts underscore Venezuela’s former status as the third wealthiest nation in the Western Hemisphere and how socialist policies destroyed its oil production—from 3 million barrels per day to barely 1 million. They connect this to broader themes of communism’s failures, refugee realities, and the overwhelming support among Venezuelan-Americans for Maduro’s removal. Hour 1 also touches on major domestic wins: the largest one-year drop in U.S. homicide rates, Trump-era economic momentum with 4.3% GDP growth, falling inflation, and lower interest rates. The segment closes with speculation on the Monroe Doctrine’s modern relevance and what this bold foreign policy means for America’s role in global stability.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into two major breaking stories shaping U.S. politics and foreign policy. The hour opens with analysis of the dramatic Delta Force raid in Venezuela that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who have pled not guilty in a New York courtroom. Clay and Buck frame this operation as a modern extension of the Monroe Doctrine, dubbing it the “Donrow Doctrine,” emphasizing America’s strategic imperative to dominate the Western Hemisphere and block Chinese and Russian influence. They contrast Venezuela with Iraq, arguing that the situations are vastly different—no sectarian complexities, no jihadist backlash, and no plans for nation-building. Instead, the Trump administration’s decisive move signals an “America First” approach to security and energy, with backchannel negotiations suggesting Venezuela’s vice president may cooperate to boost oil production. The hosts also spotlight the tactical brilliance of the raid, comparing it to the Bin Laden mission. They praise Trump’s national security team—including JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller—for executing a high-risk operation without American casualties. Clay and Buck slam critics who invoke “international law” or predict catastrophe, noting similar failed predictions after Trump’s strike on Soleimani and Iran’s nuclear facilities. They also mock media figures like Margaret Brennan for questioning why the entire Maduro regime wasn’t removed, calling such criticism “absurd” given the complexity of the mission. Shifting gears, Hour 2 tackles explosive domestic news: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announces he will not seek reelection following a viral investigation into massive Somali daycare fraud. A 23-year-old YouTuber exposed empty storefronts posing as childcare centers, siphoning off millions in taxpayer funds. Clay and Buck detail how this scandal could involve up to $9 billion in fraudulent payments, nearly the GDP of Somalia, and note that over 100 indictments have already been filed. They question why U.S. taxpayers fund childcare for welfare recipients, arguing the program itself invites abuse. The segment explores cultural factors behind the fraud, the political fallout for Walz, and the growing power of independent media to topple entrenched politicians.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off 2026 with explosive analysis and breaking news. The hour begins with a major update from the Wall Street Journal: the CDC is revising its childhood vaccine recommendations, dropping universal guidance for shots like COVID-19, influenza, rotavirus, meningococcal disease, and hepatitis A/B. Clay and Buck frame this as a “win for parental choice,” contrasting it with past mandates and the failures of COVID vaccine policy. The discussion then pivots back to the biggest geopolitical story of the week: Operation Absolute Resolve, the daring Delta Force raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The hosts explain the legal framework behind the arrest, noting that Maduro is being prosecuted under U.S. criminal law in New York City—similar to the Manuel Noriega case—rather than as an enemy combatant. They highlight the strategic significance of this move as a modern application of the Monroe Doctrine, signaling America’s renewed dominance in the Western Hemisphere and a warning to adversaries like China and Russia. Clay and Buck slam critics who oppose the raid, comparing the Trump administration’s precision and competence to the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal under Biden. They praise Trump’s national security team—Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, JD Vance—for restoring U.S. credibility through tactical brilliance and disciplined execution. The hour also features an in-depth interview with David Rutherford (aka Rut) former Navy SEAL and host on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network. Rutherford calls the Maduro operation “one of the top five best ops ever,” detailing the complexity, flawless coordination, and elite performance of JSOC units, Delta Force, and the 160th SOAR pilots. He compares the raid’s scale and sophistication to the Osama bin Laden mission, arguing that this operation was even more impressive. Rutherford emphasizes its global implications, warning cartels and hostile regimes that America is “done playing games” and projecting power with precision. He predicts increased operational tempo against Mexican cartels and underscores how this mission reshapes global power dynamics. Clay and Buck also revisit the Tim Walz Somali daycare fraud scandal, reading Trump’s fiery statement accusing Walz and allies of stealing “tens of billions” in taxpayer funds. They debate whether Walz could face criminal charges and explore how his VP selection under Kamala Harris amplified scrutiny, ultimately ending his political career.

Tudor welcomes James Blair, former Trump 2024 campaign and RNC political director, for an in-depth discussion on the Republican midterm strategy, the impact of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, and how GOP messaging on affordability and economic recovery is resonating with voters. Blair outlines key policy wins, including eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, and previews upcoming proposals aimed at restoring prosperity after years of inflation under Democrat leadership. He emphasizes Trump’s role as the party’s leader and “get-out-the-vote machine,” highlighting his recent visits to battleground districts and the importance of contrasting Republican solutions with Democrat failures. The conversation then pivots to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s controversial interviews with mainstream media, raising questions about loyalty, political branding, and the future of the America First movement. Tudor and her co-hosts analyze Greene’s shift away from MAGA messaging and speculate on her motives amid growing rifts within the conservative base. Later, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) joins to expose a massive fraud scandal in Minnesota, estimated between $9–$11 billion, spanning housing, Medicaid, childcare, and transportation programs under Governor Tim Walz. Stauber calls for accountability, detailing how whistleblowers were silenced and how the Trump administration is deploying federal agencies to investigate and prosecute those responsible. He warns about vulnerabilities in Minnesota’s election laws, including same-day registration and vouching practices, and criticizes policies granting benefits to illegal immigrants. Stauber underscores that Minnesotans—across party lines—are outraged and demand reform. The hour closes on an uplifting note, celebrating America’s Greatest Generation.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, hosted by Tudor Dixon from the WOOD Radio Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan, dives deep into President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, energy independence, and emerging technology concerns. The program opens with an exclusive interview with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, highlighting the administration’s push to restore American manufacturing, lower energy costs, and boost consumer confidence. Key Economic Topics Covered: Affordability Wins: Gas, energy, and prescription drug prices are down, and interest rates have eased—but consumer confidence remains low. Lutnick outlines strategies to reverse this trend. Energy Policy: The Trump administration is prioritizing lower electricity costs by requiring data centers to contribute 10% of their power to local grids, turning tech infrastructure into a community asset. Reversing Climate Narratives: Lutnick criticizes past Democratic climate policies and explains how Trump’s “Drill Baby Drill” approach will expand oil and gas production, reopen coal plants, and leverage Alaska’s 635 million acres of oil reserves to secure U.S. energy dominance. Interest Rate Reform: Trump is considering replacing Fed Chair Jay Powell by May 2026 to bring rates closer to global norms, aiming to ease housing costs and restore the American dream of homeownership. Economic Growth Forecast: With $18 trillion committed to rebuilding America, GDP growth is projected to hit 5% next year and 6% the following year, driving job creation, higher wages, and tax relief (including no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security). Manufacturing & Jobs: The administration’s plan to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. includes massive investments in advanced manufacturing and semiconductors—up to $700 billion nationwide, with flagship projects like a $20 billion Arizona semiconductor plant employing 3,000 technicians. High-paying technical jobs (starting at $75K and reaching $200K) will not require traditional college degrees, signaling a new era of skilled trades and automation-driven careers. Automotive Industry & Tariffs: Trump’s trade policies mandate automakers to build in America, increasing competition and lowering car prices. Financing incentives, such as tax-deductible car loans, aim to make vehicles more affordable for consumers. Technology & Privacy Concerns: Police Drones Later in Hour 1, Tudor Dixon and Kyle Olson tackle the rise of police drones in states like California, Ohio, and Louisiana. These drones can monitor public spaces, issue tickets, and interact with citizens—raising alarms about privacy rights, potential weaponization, and the expansion of a “police state.” The discussion warns of future risks involving AI, facial recognition, and pre-crime technology, urging listeners to stay vigilant as laws lag behind rapid tech adoption. Welfare Fraud Allegations in Ohio The hour closes with explosive claims of systemic welfare fraud in Ohio, following similar scandals in Minnesota. Attorney and Republican strategist Mehek Cook details allegations involving home healthcare scams, where individuals reportedly earn $70K–$90K annually through fraudulent claims. The conversation highlights: Lack of state audits and enforcement. Billions allegedly funneled back to Somalia. Political implications, including viral videos of elected officials prioritizing Somali interests over U.S. taxpayers. Calls for federal forensic audits, DOJ involvement, and accountability to protect taxpayer dollars. Audience callers express outrage, demanding penalties for states involved and praising citizen journalists for exposing corruption. The segment frames fraud as a national issue tied to immigration loopholes, political exploitation, and economic strain, reinforcing the Trump administration’s commitment to transparency and reform.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show with Tudor Dixon dives into major political and cultural flashpoints shaping America today. Broadcasting alongside Kyle Olson, Dixon opens with breaking news on Nancy Pelosi’s retirement announcement, ending her 39-year tenure in Congress. The discussion explores Pelosi’s legacy, her controversial leadership style, and her infamous State of the Union moment tearing up President Trump’s speech. Dixon and Olson analyze Pelosi’s influence on Democratic Party dynamics, her failure to pass the torch, and the rise of progressive figures like AOC, who now leads polls over Gavin Newsom for the 2028 presidential nomination. They also spotlight the looming battle for Pelosi’s San Francisco seat, featuring candidates like Scott Wiener, and what this means for the future of the Democratic Party. The hour then pivots to explosive revelations about massive welfare fraud scandals in Minnesota, Maine, and Ohio, allegedly involving Somali-run organizations and billions in taxpayer dollars. Tudor introduces investigative reporting by Nick Shirley, exposing fraudulent daycare operations and tracing funds to extremist groups overseas. Guest Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of The Maine Wire, joins to detail systemic Medicaid fraud, taxpayer-funded political outreach, and how these schemes allegedly bolster Democratic voter operations. The conversation underscores the intersection of immigration policy, election integrity, and government accountability, raising questions about non-citizen voting and the role of state officials in enabling corruption. Listeners also hear breaking news from Ohio linking Somali community leaders to political influence and tax scandals, plus a deep dive into California’s homelessness crisis, where billions are spent without solving root causes like addiction and mental health. Dixon and Olson argue these issues reflect a broader pattern of mismanagement and corruption across blue states. The segment closes with passionate listener calls from Ohio and Georgia, amplifying concerns about assimilation, Medicaid expansion fraud dating back to Obamacare, and the urgent need for reform under President Trump’s administration. Hour 2 delivers hard-hitting analysis on Pelosi’s exit, progressive power struggles, welfare fraud, election security, and cultural battles, making it a must-listen for anyone tracking the future of American politics.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by John Kobylt from KFI Los Angeles, delivers an unfiltered deep dive into California’s ongoing crisis and the political future of Governor Gavin Newsom, who is widely viewed as the leading Democratic contender for the 2028 presidential race. Kobylt paints a vivid picture of California’s decline, describing how once-idyllic cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Santa Monica have become plagued by homelessness, rampant drug addiction, and untreated mental illness. He explains how Newsom’s “Housing First” policy has failed, pouring billions into housing projects without addressing root causes like addiction and psychiatric care, while corruption siphons off much of the funding. Kobylt also highlights California’s one-party rule, noting decades of Democratic dominance and the absence of meaningful opposition, which has led to unchecked policies and severe COVID lockdowns. He warns listeners about Newsom’s character, illustrating his tendency to lie and shift narratives through a detailed account of the Palisades Fire disaster. Kobylt recounts how Newsom falsely claimed to be on the phone with President Joe Biden during a confrontation with a distraught mother, later changing his story multiple times. The segment exposes further mismanagement, including state interference that allowed a small fire to reignite into a massive blaze—all to protect an endangered plant species—resulting in thousands of homes destroyed. The hour closes with Kobylt’s personal experience during the fire, describing a complete breakdown of public services that forced residents to hire armed security for protection. He underscores California’s skyrocketing gas prices—averaging $4.29 per gallon compared to $2.23 in Oklahoma—driven by climate-change-driven tax policies that disproportionately hurt working families. Kobylt promises more revelations in Hour 2, including an interview with Katie Grimes of California Globe to discuss Newsom’s national ambitions and the systemic corruption behind California’s decline. Key Topics Covered in Hour 1: • Gavin Newsom’s rise as the top Democratic candidate for 2028 • California’s homelessness crisis and failed “Housing First” policy • Rampant drug addiction and untreated mental illness in major cities • One-party rule and lack of accountability in California politics • The Palisades Fire scandal: lies, mismanagement, and environmental policy failures • Personal account of lawlessness and survival during the fire • California’s highest-in-the-nation gas prices and climate tax burdens This hour is a must-listen for anyone tracking Gavin Newsom’s political trajectory, California’s progressive policies, and their real-world consequences.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts!  ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay and Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into California politics and the national implications of Governor Gavin Newsom’s record as he positions himself as a leading Democratic presidential contender. Guest host John Kobylt from KFI Los Angeles warns listeners about Newsom’s policies and their disastrous impact on California. Joining the conversation is veteran journalist Katy Grimes from CaliforniaGlobe.com, who has chronicled Newsom’s tenure for years. This hour exposes massive government waste and corruption scandals, including: Billions lost in homelessness programs: At least $24–$37 billion vanished into nonprofits and NGOs with little accountability, while homelessness worsened. High-speed rail boondoggle: A project sold to voters as a $33 billion statewide bullet train now sits unfinished after 18 years and $17 billion spent—with no track laid and costs projected to soar past $130 billion. COVID-era unemployment fraud: Over $32 billion in taxpayer money was stolen through lax oversight, with funds even reaching death row inmates and overseas scammers. Former California labor chief Julie Su, tied to the scandal, later became Biden’s Acting Labor Secretary. Failed progressive mandates: Newsom’s electric vehicle mandate and climate-change-driven gas taxes have driven fuel prices sky-high (averaging $4.29 in California vs. $1.93 in Oklahoma), while the state lacks the infrastructure to support EV adoption. Katy Grimes also highlights California’s Democratic supermajority, media complicity, and why Newsom has never faced tough scrutiny at home—something that will change on the national stage. The discussion revisits his debate meltdown against Ron DeSantis, predicting similar outcomes if he faces GOP contenders like JD Vance or Marco Rubio. Listeners also hear personal stories illustrating California’s decline: skyrocketing crime, homelessness, and quality-of-life deterioration driving residents to flee the state. John Kobylt underscores how progressive policies have “disemboweled” California, turning paradise into chaos. Key SEO topics covered in Hour 2: Gavin Newsom presidential ambitions, California homelessness crisis, high-speed rail failure, unemployment fraud scandal, Julie Su controversy, electric car mandate, climate tax impact on gas prices, progressive policy failures, California exodus, Ron DeSantis vs. Newsom debate.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts!  ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay and Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck  Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 dives into explosive revelations surrounding a massive fraud scandal in Minnesota, where billions in taxpayer dollars were allegedly siphoned through fake nonprofits and childcare centers. Guest host John Kobylt from KFI Radio leads the discussion, joined by Joe Khalil of NewsNation, who provides the latest updates on the viral investigation that has captured national attention. A 42-minute video by independent journalist Nick Shirley, now surpassing 116 million views, exposed empty daycare facilities that received millions in state and federal funds—raising serious questions about oversight under Governor Tim Walz. The conversation highlights ongoing probes by the Minnesota legislature, the House Oversight Committee, and even DHS, which has launched door-to-door searches at suspected fraud sites. Beyond Minnesota, John shifts focus to California’s deepening crises under Governor Gavin Newsom. He outlines shocking statistics: California leads the nation in inflation, unemployment, homelessness, and tax burdens, including the highest income, gas, and sales taxes. Despite record spending, the state suffers from crumbling infrastructure, underperforming schools, and depleted public safety resources—issues compounded by sanctuary policies and billions spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants. John warns these policies could become a national flashpoint as Newsom positions himself for higher office, contrasting them with President Trump’s decisive border actions. The hour closes with a fiery critique of California’s proposed wealth tax targeting billionaires, which John argues would accelerate the exodus of high earners and devastate state revenue. He challenges progressive narratives demonizing innovators like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, emphasizing the economic consequences of punitive taxation. Key Topics Covered in Hour 3: • Minnesota daycare fraud scandal and Somali nonprofit schemes • Viral Nick Shirley investigation and its political fallout • DHS enforcement actions and congressional oversight • California’s economic decline: taxes, homelessness, and infrastructure failures • Illegal immigration costs and sanctuary state policies • Gavin Newsom’s healthcare spending and budget deficit • Proposed wealth tax and its impact on California’s future • Broader implications for national politics under President Trump’s administration   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts!  ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay and Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by David Rutherford, retired Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and host of The David Rutherford Show on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, kicks off with high energy and holiday humor. Rutherford introduces himself and shares his journey from elite military service to motivational coaching and podcasting, highlighting his work with professional athletes, college teams, and corporate leaders. He sets the tone for a fun, engaging post-Christmas broadcast aimed at lifting spirits and inspiring listeners to start the new year strong. The hour begins with candid reflections on holiday indulgence and personal accountability. Rutherford humorously recounts past Christmases marked by overconsumption and chaos, contrasting them with his more disciplined approach this year—balanced meals, workouts, and a commitment to health. He urges listeners to shake off the holiday slump, get active, and embrace recovery as part of a positive mindset heading into 2026. From there, Rutherford dives into relatable holiday anecdotes, including his failed attempt to create a “Clark Griswold” light display. He shares the comedic saga of battling rain, broken lights, and missing ladders, ultimately settling for a blow-up Santa and a few ornaments. These stories segue into a broader commentary on family dynamics, personal responsibility, and the importance of humor during stressful seasons. The conversation then pivots to self-reliance and preparedness, a theme central to Rutherford’s military background. He describes his tradition of buying his own Christmas gifts—ranging from tactical gear to firearms—and introduces a major policy proposal that has him fired up: Senator Mike Lee’s Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act. This bill would empower private U.S. citizens and companies to legally seize cartel assets abroad, targeting fentanyl traffickers. Rutherford enthusiastically imagines former special operators forming “modern pirate crews” to combat cartels, sparking a call-in challenge for listeners to share what gear they’d choose and who they’d recruit for such missions. The hour also explores cultural trends and entertainment, from classic holiday specials like Charlie Brown Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to modern pop staples like Mariah Carey. Rutherford praises the creativity of AI-generated holiday music and memes, citing viral hits such as “I Caught Santa Claus Sniffing Cocaine” and humorous retro remixes of rap tracks. He argues that AI-driven humor and nostalgia offer a welcome escape during a season that can be emotionally challenging for many. Closing the hour on a heartfelt note, Rutherford reflects on the deeper meaning of Christmas—hope, kindness, and connection. He shares a personal story about a fallen SEAL teammate, underscoring the importance of compassion and mental health awareness during the holidays. He challenges listeners to perform acts of kindness and calls for a cultural reset toward gratitude and service. Finally, Rutherford introduces his Frog Logic philosophy, a performance framework built on three pillars: embracing fear, forging self-confidence, and living a team life. He invites listeners to explore his online courses designed to translate elite military lessons into everyday success strategies.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by David Rutherford, retired Navy SEAL and host of The David Rutherford Show on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, delivers a high-energy mix of military insight, cultural commentary, and national security analysis. Rutherford kicks off the hour by celebrating the strength of the Trump administration, citing achievements such as border security, record stock market gains, reduced crime rates, and a 4.3% GDP growth. He frames these wins as proof of renewed American resilience and contrasts them with past failures under previous administrations. The hour’s centerpiece is a viral story about Vice President JD Vance training with Navy SEALs in Coronado, California. Rutherford vividly describes Vance enduring grueling SEAL drills like log PT, surf passage, and team runs—activities that symbolize grit and leadership. He praises Vance, a former Marine, for inspiring young service members and bridging the gap between political leaders and the military. Rutherford argues that authentic engagement from leaders like Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth strengthens morale and reinforces America’s global posture. He also predicts that the 2028 presidential election will be defined by “meme warfare,” asserting that candidates who master humor and cultural relevance will dominate political discourse. JD Vance’s self-deprecating meme after SEAL training becomes a prime example of this trend. From humor, Rutherford pivots to hard realities: global terrorism and religious persecution. He highlights Trump’s recent directive for a U.S. strike against ISIS militants in Nigeria following horrific massacres of Christians, then broadens the discussion to a disturbing surge in worldwide terror attacks. Rutherford cites incidents from Bondi Beach in Australia, Pakistan, Germany, and the U.S., warning that extremist violence remains a persistent threat. Drawing on his CIA and SEAL experience, he outlines practical steps for Americans to protect themselves: exercise Second Amendment rights, purchase firearms, seek professional training, and maintain situational awareness. He stresses that personal responsibility is critical in an era where law enforcement resources are stretched thin and cites intelligence estimates suggesting up to 14,000 terrorists may already be inside the U.S. The hour closes with a provocative segment on election integrity, referencing the book Stolen Elections by Gary Berntsen and Ralph Pezzullo. Rutherford summarizes allegations that Venezuelan operatives developed source code enabling manipulation of electronic voting systems, allegedly influencing elections worldwide since 2003. He warns that vulnerabilities in voting technology pose a systemic threat to democracy and promises deeper analysis in the next hour.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by David Rutherford, retired Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and motivational speaker, delivers a dynamic blend of national security analysis, leadership insights, and holiday inspiration. Rutherford kicks off the hour with an exclusive interview featuring Jared Hudson, fellow Navy SEAL, elite firearms instructor, anti-human trafficking advocate, and candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama. Their conversation centers on critical global and domestic issues, beginning with President Trump’s recent directive for precision strikes against ISIS affiliates in Nigeria to protect persecuted Christians. Hudson strongly supports the move, calling it a moral and strategic necessity to defend freedom and counter terrorism in partnership with allied governments. The discussion then shifts to America’s battle against fentanyl and cartel violence, highlighting Senator Mike Lee’s proposed Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act, which would authorize private citizens to target cartel assets abroad. Hudson draws on his law enforcement and counter-trafficking experience to underscore the devastating impact of fentanyl on U.S. communities and advocates for proactive measures beyond U.S. borders to stop the flow of drugs before they reach American streets. He outlines his vision for governance rooted in constitutional principles, pledging to fight for lower costs, infrastructure development, and codification of Trump’s policies if elected to the Senate. Hudson emphasizes restoring accountability, protecting sovereignty, and strengthening America’s free-market foundation while standing firmly with President Trump. From policy to culture, Rutherford and Hudson explore the importance of authentic leadership, praising JD Vance for his recent SEAL-style physical training in Coronado as a morale booster for service members. Hudson vows to go even further—training alongside troops and even joining operations if permitted—symbolizing a hands-on approach to leadership rarely seen in Washington. The hour transitions into interactive listener segments, featuring two call-in challenges: “What kit and crew would you choose for cartel raids under the Marque and Reprisal Act?” Callers respond with creative, humorous scenarios, from assembling teams with JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Hulk Hogan to deploying Elon Musk’s drone technology for precision strikes. “What act of kindness did you witness or perform this holiday season?” Stories range from paying forward at drive-thrus to covering for an embarrassed mother in public, and a touching account of a caller tipping fast-food workers $40 on Christmas Day. Rutherford uses these examples to reinforce his core message: small gestures of compassion can transform lives and restore hope. Closing the hour, Rutherford delivers an impassioned monologue on living a Christ-like life through service, sacrifice, and kindness. He urges listeners to embrace empathy amid societal division, citing his nonprofit work with the Operator Syndrome Foundation and his mission to help veterans and first responders overcome mental health challenges. He emphasizes that kindness costs nothing yet yields immeasurable impact, aligning with the true spirit of Christmas and the values that sustain America’s strength.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by Brett Winterble from WBT in Charlotte, kicks off with optimism and hard-hitting analysis of America’s economic resurgence and political battles as 2025 closes. Brett opens by celebrating blockbuster economic news: U.S. GDP surged 4.3% in the third quarter, the fastest growth in two years and far above economists’ 3.2% forecast. Consumer spending also jumped 3.5%, signaling strong confidence and reinforcing President Trump’s America First economic agenda. Winterble frames this as kryptonite for Democrats, whose impeachment-focused strategy falters against robust growth and rising optimism heading into 2026. The hour contrasts Trump’s pro-growth policies with the Biden-era failures, blasting the previous administration for prioritizing DEI initiatives and identity politics over prosperity. Brett warns that Democrats have no credible economic plan, relying instead on divisive cultural narratives and regulatory overreach. He cites the Schumer shutdown’s delay of economic reports as evidence of political gamesmanship aimed at obscuring Trump’s success. Meanwhile, Trump’s leadership is credited with restoring confidence, strengthening the military, and rewarding service members with $1,776 bonuses, a stark reversal from Biden’s controversial vaccine mandates that purged troops from the ranks. Immigration and fraud scandals also dominate the discussion. Brett spotlights the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant linked to trafficking, after a judge blocked his deportation, calling this emblematic of Democratic priorities that undermine law enforcement and national security. He then pivots to the Minnesota welfare fraud scandal, where up to $9–18 billion was allegedly stolen from federally funded programs. In response, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks introduced the Welfare Abuse and Laundering Zillions (WALLS) Act, requiring HHS to investigate entitlement programs with sudden spending spikes, aiming to prevent systemic abuse and protect taxpayers. Listeners join the conversation with sharp insights on political corruption, immigration, and cultural shifts. Brett amplifies concerns about Democratic efforts to dilute conservative influence through mass migration and identity-driven policies, citing Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s remarks praising the Somali community as an example of virtue signaling overshadowing accountability. He underscores that immigration must be legal and vetted, warning against policies that prioritize ideology over security. The hour closes with a look ahead to Federal Reserve policy, as economist Kevin Hassett—considered a leading candidate to replace Jerome Powell—calls for aggressive interest rate cuts to sustain growth amid an AI-driven productivity boom. Brett frames this as part of Trump’s broader strategy to supercharge the economy while Democrats remain fixated on distractions like the Epstein files, which recent reports confirm contain no damaging information about Trump.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by Brett Winterble from WBT in Charlotte, delivers a powerful mix of cultural, legal, and national security analysis alongside economic debate. Brett opens with a major legal development out of California: a federal judge struck down state policies that allowed schools to hide students’ gender identity changes from parents. Judge Roger T. Benitez issued a permanent injunction barring educators from misleading parents or using different pronouns and names without parental knowledge. Brett emphasizes the ruling as a victory for parental rights and the First Amendment, arguing that teachers should not be forced into secrecy or ideological compliance. He calls out the undue burden placed on educators and frames the decision as a pushback against progressive overreach in public education.   The conversation then pivots to Representative Ayanna Pressley’s remarks on gender-affirming care, where she equated treatment for gender dysphoria with urgent medical needs like broken bones and diabetes. Brett critiques the inclusion of taxpayer-funded gender transitions under Medicaid, questioning priorities when veterans and vulnerable populations struggle to access basic healthcare. He warns that such policies exemplify the left’s incremental approach to expanding government control over personal and family decisions.   Midway through the hour, Brett welcomes Bill Roggio of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Long War Journal for an in-depth discussion on global terrorism following the ISIS-inspired Bondi Beach attack in Australia, which targeted Jewish worshippers during Hanukkah. Roggio dismantles the myth that ISIS is defeated, explaining how jihadist networks remain active in Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East through recruitment, training, and financing via criminal enterprises, crypto transfers, and hawala systems. He highlights the Philippines as a training hub and warns that attacks like Bondi demonstrate ISIS’s ability to adapt and exploit security gaps. Roggio also raises alarms about the Minnesota welfare fraud scandal, suggesting that stolen funds could have been funneled to extremist groups like Al-Shabaab, given historical ties between Somali-American communities and jihadist recruitment. He underscores the likelihood that even a fraction of the $9–18 billion lost could significantly bolster terror operations abroad.   The segment closes with a sobering look at emerging threats in Syria, where two U.S. soldiers were killed by a member of Syrian security forces. Roggio questions official narratives blaming ISIS, noting the group’s silence and pointing to deeper complexities involving Islamist factions within the Syrian government. Brett ties these insights to domestic vulnerabilities, warning that terrorists study attacks like the Brown University shooting to replicate tactics against soft targets. Finally, Brett engages listeners on Trump’s tariff policies, responding to a caller critical of protectionism. He defends reciprocal tariffs as leverage to secure fair trade deals, arguing that America’s economic strength allows it to dictate terms and protect domestic industries. This spirited debate underscores broader themes of sovereignty, economic resilience, and national security that define the hour.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by Brett Winterble from WBT in Charlotte, delivers an inspiring mix of space exploration news, cultural commentary, and a deep dive into the meaning of Christmas. Brett opens the hour celebrating America’s renewed ambition with NASA’s Artemis II mission, scheduled for February 2026. This historic launch will send four astronauts—including NASA’s Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen—on a daring journey around the moon, marking the first human lunar orbit in over 50 years. Brett frames this as a symbol of American exceptionalism and a return to bold achievements after decades of caution, contrasting today’s optimism with past administrations that downplayed U.S. leadership. He argues that space exploration reflects the nation’s founding principles of liberty, innovation, and perseverance, reminding listeners that America thrives when it embraces big challenges. The conversation then shifts to domestic security and constitutional rights, sparked by a caller advocating for non-lethal weapons in schools as a deterrent against shootings. Brett explores the failure of gun-free zones and emphasizes the importance of exercising constitutional rights to protect students and teachers. He warns that progressive policies often prioritize ideology over safety, leaving soft targets vulnerable. Another caller weighs in on Trump’s tariff strategy, framing tariffs as a negotiating tool for fair trade rather than a permanent policy. Brett agrees, arguing that reciprocal tariffs level the playing field and safeguard American industries in a global economy. In the latter half of the hour, Brett welcomes Father Bill Nicholas for a profound discussion on the theological and historical dimensions of Christmas. Father Bill explains how the birth of Jesus occurred under an imperial census, highlighting its political context and parallels to modern debates on governance and morality. He explores themes of vulnerability and true power, noting that Christ’s birth in a humble stable redefined kingship and challenged societal elitism. The conversation delves into the Gospel of John’s portrayal of the Incarnation—“The Word became flesh”—as both a birth narrative and a creation story, fulfilling God’s covenant with David through divine intervention. Father Bill also draws connections between ancient practices like child sacrifice and contemporary issues such as abortion, warning that secularization erodes respect for life and faith. The segment concludes with reflections on inclusivity, the call to serve the marginalized, and a blessing for listeners as they prepare to celebrate Christmas.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by Brett Winterble from News Talk 1110 & 99.3 WBT in Charlotte, North Carolina, delivers a fast-paced and insightful discussion on the state of American politics, culture, and the economy as we head into 2026. Brett opens by contrasting the energy and optimism surrounding the conservative movement with the stagnation and radicalism dominating the Democratic Party. He argues that the left is still clinging to outdated policies reminiscent of FDR-era economics, citing Joe Biden’s failed debt forgiveness plan and regulatory overreach as examples of a government obsessed with “priming the pump” rather than fostering innovation and freedom. Winterble highlights the dramatic turnaround under President Trump’s leadership, emphasizing four key pillars driving the administration’s success: economy, culture, faith, and strength. He points to recent positive economic indicators, including falling inflation rates that stunned analysts like CNBC’s Steve Liesman, as proof that removing government interference has unleashed growth. Brett also underscores America’s renewed global respect and stronger border security, contrasting this with the chaos seen in progressive strongholds and elite institutions, referencing recent unrest at Brown University and the Bondi Beach attack as symptoms of failed leftist ideology. A major theme of the hour is the resurgence of faith and traditional values in American politics. Brett plays a powerful clip from Vice President J.D. Vance’s Turning Point USA speech, where Vance calls for a “true Christian politics” that prioritizes family, dignity of work, and care for the poor while condemning corporate outsourcing and immigration fraud. Winterble frames this as a moral and spiritual battle for the soul of the nation, arguing that Trump’s policies have ended the cultural war on Christianity and restored principles that resonate deeply during the Christmas and Hanukkah season. The hour also features lively listener calls tackling critical issues such as midterm election strategy, GOP unity, and kitchen-table concerns like skyrocketing food prices. Callers stress the importance of candidate recruitment, voter turnout, and fighting back against entrenched political corruption. Brett responds by explaining Senate procedural realities, including Mike Lee’s remarks on cloture and the myth of the 60-vote threshold, while urging conservatives to stay engaged and proactive. In closing, Brett reflects on America’s enduring promise and the need for moral clarity, historical perspective, and cultural courage to preserve freedom. He reminds listeners that the conservative movement’s strength lies in its ability to persuade and unite, not retreat into hopelessness. This first hour sets the tone for a day of spirited conversation, blending political analysis, historical context, and calls to action for a movement energized by faith, freedom, and the fight against radicalism.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by Brett Winterble from News Talk 1110 & 99.3 WBT in Charlotte, delivers a powerful mix of historical perspective, national security analysis, and passionate listener engagement. Brett opens the hour by drawing parallels between the fall of the Berlin Wall and today’s fight for freedom, emphasizing that liberty cannot be “set and forget”—it requires constant vigilance and resolve. He argues that just as Reagan, Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, and Lech Wałęsa stood firm against communism, Americans today must resist the creeping influence of socialism and radical ideologies threatening the nation’s core values. Immigration dominates early discussion, sparked by a caller highlighting tragedies like the murders of Laken Riley and Ella Wood, which Brett frames as consequences of failed border policies under Biden. He contrasts this with Trump’s success in securing the southern border and his aggressive stance against narco-terrorism in Venezuela, explaining how current policies aim to choke off oil revenues to Cuba, Iran, and China while dismantling the communist grip in Latin America. Brett underscores that these moves are not just foreign policy wins—they directly protect American families from drug cartels poisoning U.S. streets. The hour also tackles national security threats and cultural resilience, featuring a clip from Tulsi Gabbard at Turning Point USA warning about the rise of Islamist ideology as a long-term danger to freedom. Brett amplifies this message with a striking example: Syrian Christians publicly protesting under threat of violence, ringing church bells and carrying crosses in defiance of Islamic rule. He calls this a modern echo of the courage that toppled the Iron Curtain, urging Americans to reclaim moral clarity and fight for faith-based values. Listeners weigh in with passionate takes on accountability, government corruption, and runaway spending. Callers demand term limits, criticize foreign aid waste, and lament the lack of consequences for prior administration scandals. Brett agrees, advocating for structural reforms like restoring state control over Senate appointments and ending the culture of career politicians. He also addresses concerns about political indoctrination in universities, warning that socialist ideas are being normalized for a new generation—a trend echoed by a caller who fled communism and now sees alarming parallels in U.S. politics. Hour 2 closes with Brett’s rallying cry: freedom requires active engagement, not complacency. He urges citizens to run for office, hold leaders accountable, and reject the moral decay fueling radical agendas. This segment blends historical lessons, current policy wins, and grassroots activism into a compelling call to action for conservatives determined to safeguard America’s future.Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/ Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton: X - https://x.com/clayandbuckFB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckRumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuckTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by Brett Winterble from News Talk 1110 & 99.3 WBT in Charlotte, delivers a compelling mix of global news analysis, economic insight, and listener engagement as the holiday season approaches. Brett opens the hour by posing a relatable question to the audience: Are you spending more or less this Christmas? This sparks a series of calls highlighting optimism about the economy under President Trump, with listeners citing lower gas prices, easing interest rates, and improved household finances as signs of renewed confidence. The hour then pivots to international headlines, focusing on the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia and controversial remarks by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns. Brett sharply criticizes Minns for attacking American free speech and gun rights while touting restrictive policies in the name of multiculturalism. He argues that such rhetoric underscores the stark contrast between U.S. constitutional freedoms and the creeping authoritarianism embraced by global elites. Brett warns that moral clarity and constitutional principles—especially the right to worship and speak freely—are essential to preserving liberty at home and abroad. Listener calls add depth to the discussion, with one caller emphasizing how unchecked immigration reshapes congressional districts and electoral votes, fueling a permanent left-wing power base. Brett agrees, framing immigration as both a cultural and political battleground that demands decisive action. Another caller highlights America’s tradition of generosity, urging struggling families and veterans to embrace community support during the holidays—a sentiment echoed by others celebrating charitable giving and economic gains. Midway through the hour, Brett introduces a critical economic conversation featuring Kevin Hassett, former White House economic adviser and a potential candidate for Federal Reserve Chair. Hassett dismantles media narratives about labor shortages, explaining that Trump’s immigration reforms—halting diversity visas, tightening asylum rules, and prioritizing legal workers—have boosted wages for native-born Americans, particularly in construction, where salaries have risen by $3,300 on average. Brett underscores Hassett’s pragmatic approach to monetary policy, contrasting it with Jerome Powell’s incrementalism and warning that Democrats, if given control of Congress, would revert to reckless spending and elitist priorities. He praises Hassett’s focus on middle-class needs, credit access, and economic stability as a blueprint for sustaining growth. Hour 3 closes with a powerful reminder that freedom and prosperity require vigilance, moral courage, and constitutional fidelity. Brett calls on listeners to stay engaged, reject socialist indoctrination, and support leaders committed to faith, family, and economic opportunity. This final hour blends global perspective, grassroots voices, and forward-looking policy analysis, making it a must-listen for conservatives determined to defend American values.

Inflation has dropped to 2.7%—the lowest level since spring 2021. Core inflation sits at 2.6%, nearing the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Clay explains why this matters for everyday Americans, connecting the dots between Biden-era spending, skyrocketing prices, and the aggressive interest rate hikes that froze the housing market. He recalls how inflation surged to 9.1% in June 2022 after trillions in stimulus spending, driving mortgage rates above 7% and locking millions of homeowners into historically low rates from 2020–2021. This “housing freeze,” Clay argues, remains one of the biggest drags on economic mobility. Clay then pivots to President Trump’s primetime address, highlighting key announcements that could reshape the economic landscape.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Buck Sexton’s final live broadcast of the year and a deep dive into major headlines shaping the political and cultural conversation. The hour opens with a sharp critique of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ Vanity Fair interview, which Clay and Buck call a “colossal miscalculation.” They argue that granting extensive access to legacy media outlets like Vanity Fair is a strategic blunder, especially when the piece includes misleading claims about January 6 and cherry-picked quotes.  The discussion highlights lessons learned from Trump’s first term, the administration’s media strategy, and why conservatives should avoid seeking validation from elite publications.The conversation pivots to 2027 GOP dynamics, with Clay noting that Vice President JD Vance is positioned as a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, especially after Marco Rubio reportedly confirmed he won’t challenge Vance. The hosts also dissect internal tensions revealed in the Vanity Fair piece, including Susie Wiles’ harsh criticism of Pam Bondi over the Epstein controversy. Next, the show tackles the Brown University shooting investigation, which remains shrouded in mystery. Clay and Buck express frustration over the lack of progress, limited surveillance footage, and reports that the university may be prioritizing PR concerns over transparency. They explore whether political motives could be involved, given that one victim was a prominent college Republican, and question why a multimillion-dollar institution lacks adequate security measures. The hosts underscore parental concerns about campus safety and the broader implications for law enforcement and higher education. In a cultural segment, Clay and Buck react to a viral clip from the TV series Landman mocking The View, sparking a humorous exchange about media bias and entertainment trends. From there, the discussion turns serious with an in-depth analysis of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies and their impact on hiring practices. Buck cites a powerful essay from Compact Magazine detailing how DEI initiatives discriminated against white men in industries like academia, media, and Hollywood, calling the practice unconstitutional and immoral. Clay adds personal anecdotes from law school, challenging the narrative of “white male privilege” and highlighting generational frustrations.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed lineup of political analysis, cultural commentary, and a major Capitol Hill interview. The hour begins with Clay and Buck reflecting on the show’s growth in 2025, thanking listeners for helping expand to over 550 affiliate stations and previewing plans for more video content in 2026. From there, the conversation pivots to Zohran Mamdani’s controversial proposal for free buses in New York City, which he claims reduces assaults on drivers. Clay and Buck dismantle the logic behind this policy, arguing that eliminating fares incentivizes bad behavior and risks turning buses into “mobile homeless shelters.” They also discuss the broader implications of Mamdani’s socialist agenda and predict that any exodus from New York due to his policies will likely occur in spring and summer. The centerpiece of Hour 2 is an in-depth interview with Senator Rand Paul, covering critical issues from foreign policy to domestic economics. Senator Paul strongly opposes what he calls an “offensive war” in Venezuela, warning that U.S. military action to enforce a blockade and target suspected narco-boats amounts to regime change without congressional approval. He stresses constitutional limits on presidential war powers and criticizes the administration’s approach to interdiction, citing high error rates and ethical concerns about targeting unarmed individuals. On Trump’s first year of his second term, Rand Paul gives the administration an “A triple plus” for securing the southern border and maintaining tax cuts, while blasting both parties for runaway spending and ballooning debt. He calls for a balanced budget and entitlement reform as urgent priorities heading into 2026. The discussion then shifts to healthcare policy, where Paul advocates for association health plans, interstate insurance purchasing, and universal health savings accounts to lower costs without taxpayer subsidies. The hour also tackles America’s affordability crisis, with Paul linking soaring housing prices and inflation to reckless government spending and Federal Reserve monetary policy. He warns that rent control and socialist policies—like those embraced by New York’s new mayor—will worsen housing shortages and economic inequality. Clay and Buck underscore that affordability will dominate the 2026 midterms, framing it as a kitchen-table issue for millions of voters. In a lighter moment, the hosts share a viral clip of a 101-year-old World War II veteran praising President Trump, pledging he’d “put on the uniform and fight today.” The segment closes with a preview of upcoming discussions on California’s policy challenges and the latest developments in the Brown University shooting investigation.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into political intrigue, California chaos, and explosive legal controversies. The hour kicks off with Katie Zacharia, a California-based legal and political strategist, joining Clay and Buck to break down the looming Democratic primary showdown between Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom. Despite Harris’ poor performance as Vice President, national polling shows her edging out Newsom, sparking speculation about the DNC’s strategy and whether South Carolina will once again be the first primary state—a move that could guarantee Harris an early win thanks to James Clyburn’s influence. Katie also exposes California’s education crisis, citing shocking statistics: Los Angeles public schools have lost 26% of their students over the past decade while increasing staff by nearly 20%. California ranks dead last in literacy nationwide, with only 37% of students meeting math standards. Zachariah blames entrenched teachers’ unions and a Democrat supermajority for blocking school choice and vouchers, leaving parents desperate for alternatives. The conversation shifts to the Malibu wildfire aftermath, where nearly a year later, burned lots remain vacant and rebuilding has stalled. Katie alleges that bureaucratic red tape and Gavin Newsom’s rezoning agenda are forcing homeowners out, paving the way for developers and low-income housing projects. She warns that without voter ID and election integrity reforms, Republicans like Steve Hilton face an uphill battle in California despite growing frustration with Democrat mismanagement. In a bombshell segment, Clay and Buck dissect the Fani Willis scandal after her Trump RICO case collapses. Willis faces grilling over hiring her lover, Nathan Wade, and approving hundreds of thousands in taxpayer-funded payments. The hosts highlight her evasive testimony and jaw-dropping claim that Wade billed 160 hours in a single week, calling it blatant fraud and emblematic of systemic corruption. They also connect this to broader Biden DOJ weaponization, revealing reports that FBI agents opposed the Mar-a-Lago raid for lack of probable cause—only to be overruled by political operatives. The hour closes with Treasury Secretary Scott Besson’s remarks on immigration and housing costs, confirming that mass illegal immigration drove rents up nationwide. With Trump’s border enforcement removing over 2 million illegals, rents are finally dropping—a clear example of supply and demand at work. Clay and Buck underscore how immigration policy directly impacts affordability, especially in cities like New York. Listeners also enjoy lighter moments, including Buck’s reflections on his first Christmas as a dad, Clay’s nostalgia for school holiday breaks, and humorous talkbacks debating pronunciation quirks and firearm preferences. The show wraps with heartfelt holiday wishes and gratitude for an incredible year.

What a Year! Clay begins by confirming that the Brown University shooter, Claudio Neves Valenti, is dead after taking his own life in Salem, New Hampshire. Authorities now believe Valenti, a 48-year-old former Brown student and Portuguese national, was also responsible for the assassination of an MIT professor specializing in nuclear science and engineering, raising serious questions about campus security and law enforcement failures. Clay criticizes Brown University for lacking functional cameras in key areas, arguing that this incompetence allowed Valenti to evade capture for days and indirectly led to the MIT professor’s death. The case was ultimately cracked thanks to a homeless man’s tip, which may earn him a $50,000 reward. Clay then pivots to the anticipated release of the Epstein files, noting that the New York Times has already confirmed what he and Buck have long maintained: there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by President Trump despite years of speculation. He frames this as proof of partisan lawfare, contrasting the relentless pursuit of Trump over bookkeeping charges with the absence of any Epstein-related allegations. Just "Don't" Do It - Lessons from Nike A reflection on the show’s growth since 2021, celebrating its expansion to over 550 stations nationwide and thanking listeners for their loyalty. From there, Clay pivots to a major business story: Nike’s stock collapse, which he argues is the inevitable result of the company’s cultural shift from celebrating athletic excellence to embracing woke activism. He traces Nike’s decline from its Michael Jordan era—built on meritocracy and performance—to its 2018 Colin Kaepernick campaign, which prioritized political messaging over sports achievement. Clay underscores that Nike stock has fallen from $85 a share in 2018 to $59 today, even as the broader market surged, framing this as a cautionary tale that “culture wins” and that abandoning core values for virtue signaling leads to failure. Building on this theme, Clay explores the broader implications of cultural erosion, warning that internal decay—whether in corporations, families, or nations—poses a greater threat than external forces. He uses Nike as an example of how woke ideology undermines success and argues that the same dynamic is playing out in American politics and society. This segues into a discussion of conservative principles and truth-telling, highlighted by fiery remarks from Ben Shapiro at AmFest, where Shapiro condemned conspiracy theories and called out grifters within the movement, including former colleague Candace Owens, for spreading baseless claims about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Clay praises Shapiro’s insistence on evidence and principle over populist pandering, warning that the conservative movement must guard against internal frauds who exploit grievance culture. Why Culture Matters Clay closes the program with a passionate reflection on the power of culture in shaping institutions and personal choices, sharing a story about Vanderbilt University’s decisive response to pro-Palestinian campus protests after the Hamas terror attacks. He praises Chancellor Daniel Diermeier for enforcing discipline and protecting free speech without tolerating chaos, noting that such leadership has driven a surge in applications to SEC schools. Clay frames this as proof that “culture wins,” urging listeners to stand firm against woke ideology and defend Western values. The hour ends on an inspiring note with a former Hamas hostage’s testimony that terrorists feared Donald Trump, reinforcing Clay’s argument that strength and resolve are essential in confronting evil.

He frames this as proof of partisan lawfare, contrasting the relentless pursuit of Trump over bookkeeping charges with the absence of any Epstein-related allegations. The hour also tackles global headlines, including the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre in Australia, where terrorists killed 15 Jewish worshippers. Clay blasts the Australian government’s response—calling for mass gun confiscation—arguing that criminals ignore gun laws and that stricter regulations only punish law-abiding citizens. From there, he dives into Georgia’s 2020 election fraud revelations, citing reports that 315,000 ballots in Fulton County failed to meet state requirements yet were counted, swinging two Senate seats to Democrats and enabling Biden’s legislative agenda. Clay compares Biden’s unprecedented 81 million votes in 2020 to “steroid-era baseball stats,” noting the sharp drop in turnout for Kamala Harris in 2024 as further evidence of systemic irregularities. He calls for mandatory voter ID and in-person voting as the cornerstone of election integrity. Additional commentary includes Clay’s critique of the FBI’s internal opposition to the Mar-a-Lago raid, revealed through emails showing agents questioned probable cause before Biden’s DOJ ordered the unprecedented action. He also previews a segment on Nike’s collapsing stock, attributing the decline to “woke corporate culture” undermining brand strength. The hour closes with lighter moments as Clay engages listeners on holiday talkbacks, defending his love for Love Actually as a Christmas classic and sparking humorous debates over music and movies.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of cultural critique, political insight, and holiday fun as Clay hosts the final live broadcast of the year. The hour opens with a reflection on the show’s growth since 2021, celebrating its expansion to over 550 stations nationwide and thanking listeners for their loyalty. From there, Clay pivots to a major business story: Nike’s stock collapse, which he argues is the inevitable result of the company’s cultural shift from celebrating athletic excellence to embracing woke activism.

This segues into a discussion of conservative principles and truth-telling, highlighted by fiery remarks from Ben Shapiro at AmFest, where Shapiro condemned conspiracy theories and called out grifters within the movement, including former colleague Candace Owens, for spreading baseless claims about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Clay praises Shapiro’s insistence on evidence and principle over populist pandering, warning that the conservative movement must guard against internal frauds who exploit grievance culture. The hour also touches on Erica Kirk’s endorsement of JD Vance for 2028, signaling early momentum for the Vice President as the next GOP standard-bearer. Clay uses these moments to emphasize that conservatism’s foundation lies in personal responsibility and cultural strength, not victimhood or performative outrage. He argues that America’s greatest danger is not China or Russia but the internal dismantling of Western values through censorship, identity politics, and attacks on free speech—citing examples like the removal of a UK Christmas card for allegedly “invalidating trans experiences.” To lighten the mood, Clay invites listeners to weigh in on the best Christmas movies, declaring Christmas Vacation the undisputed champion while sparking debates over classics like It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf, Die Hard, and even controversial picks like Love Actually. The segment blends humor with nostalgia, offering a festive close to a thought-provoking hour that underscores the show’s core message: culture shapes destiny, and defending truth is essential to preserving freedom.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show wraps up the year with a dynamic mix of hard-hitting political analysis, cultural commentary, and lighthearted holiday debates. Clay opens the final hour by revisiting breaking news updates, including confirmation that the Brown University shooter is dead and suspected of also killing an MIT professor specializing in nuclear science. He notes the ongoing investigation into the shooter’s motives and the expected release of the Epstein files, which have dominated headlines. Clay also highlights recent cultural and political flashpoints, such as Nike’s collapsing stock price following years of woke branding decisions and revelations of Fulton County election fraud in Georgia’s 2020 race, which he argues altered Senate control and enabled Biden’s legislative agenda. The centerpiece of Hour 3 is an in-depth conversation with Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who begins with a humorous recounting of his grueling Thanksgiving workout—a mile of lunges—before pivoting to serious national security concerns. Mullen defends President Trump’s authorization of drone strikes on narco boats linked to Venezuelan cartels, explaining that these operations comply with long-standing legal frameworks and are essential to combating drug trafficking that has killed more Americans through overdoses than U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam. He blasts critics like Adam Schiff for hypocrisy and underscores the administration’s proactive stance against cartel terrorism. Mullin also calls out Bernie Sanders for blocking bipartisan “Right to Try” legislation that would allow pediatric cancer patients access to experimental treatments, accusing Sanders of prioritizing socialist healthcare agendas over saving lives. The hour then shifts to cultural and lifestyle topics, including a spirited debate over the best Christmas movies. Mullen argues for Rambo as an unconventional holiday pick, while Clay champions Christmas Vacation and listeners weigh in with favorites like Die Hard, Home Alone, It’s a Wonderful Life, and underrated gems such as Four Christmases and The Man Who Invented Christmas. These exchanges provide a festive counterpoint to earlier discussions on policy and culture. Clay closes the program with a passionate reflection on the power of culture in shaping institutions and personal choices, sharing a story about Vanderbilt University’s decisive response to pro-Palestinian campus protests after the Hamas terror attacks. He praises Chancellor Daniel Diermeier for enforcing discipline and protecting free speech without tolerating chaos, noting that such leadership has driven a surge in applications to SEC schools. Clay frames this as proof that “culture wins,” urging listeners to stand firm against woke ideology and defend Western values. The hour ends on an inspiring note with a former Hamas hostage’s testimony that terrorists feared Donald Trump, reinforcing Clay’s argument that strength and resolve are essential in confronting evil.

Dr. Nicole Saphier breaks down two consequential health policy decisions by President Trump reshaping America’s drug debate.

Trump IS Fixing the Economy Inflation has dropped to 2.7%—the lowest level since spring 2021. Core inflation sits at 2.6%, nearing the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Clay explains why this matters for everyday Americans, connecting the dots between Biden-era spending, skyrocketing prices, and the aggressive interest rate hikes that froze the housing market. He recalls how inflation surged to 9.1% in June 2022 after trillions in stimulus spending, driving mortgage rates above 7% and locking millions of homeowners into historically low rates from 2020–2021. This “housing freeze,” Clay argues, remains one of the biggest drags on economic mobility.  Clay then pivots to President Trump’s primetime address, highlighting key announcements that could reshape the economic landscape. Culture Wars Brianna Lyman of The Federalist delivers a powerful defense of historical literacy amid efforts to erase America’s past. The discussion centers on Virginia’s removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, the legacy of reconciliation after the Civil War, and the dangers of applying modern moral standards to historical figures. Lyman warns that the left’s obsession with tearing down monuments—from Lee to Jefferson and even Washington—aims to delegitimize America’s founding principles and pave the way for radical ideological shifts. Clay and Lyman explore how this “floor vs. ceiling” approach to history—focusing on flaws instead of achievements—threatens national unity, especially as the country prepares for its 250th anniversary in 2026. MIT Assassination Authorities believe they have identified the suspect in the Brown University shooting, which left two students dead and 12 injured after 40 rounds were fired on campus. While no arrest has been made, investigators are also probing a possible link between this attack and the assassination of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro, a nuclear weapons expert killed in his Boston home just days later. Clay underscores the chilling implications of these events and promises continued coverage as details emerge. The hour also touches on tragic news from North Carolina, where NASCAR legend Greg Biffle reportedly died in a private plane crash en route to Florida, according to Daily Mail reports citing close friends. Clay then pivots to a heated media moment: Candace Owens’ explosive claims on Piers Morgan’s show, suggesting two Turning Point USA employees may have had foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination—a theory Clay calls “loony bin crazy” and emblematic of a media ecosystem that rewards outrageous, unverified opinions. He contrasts this with a Washington Post profile of alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, detailing his radicalization, anti-Trump rage, and ties to trans activism, reinforcing what Clay sees as the clear ideological motive behind the killing. Dealing with Holiday TDS Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert joins to offer strategies for surviving holiday gatherings with politically divided families. Alpert warns that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has hardened into personality-level anger for some, fueling anxiety and family estrangement. His advice: prioritize relationships over politics, set boundaries, and redirect conversations to holiday traditions. Callers weigh in with personal stories and coping tactics, from walking away during heated debates to reaffirming shared values. Alpert also explores whether this intense polarization will persist beyond Trump’s presidency, concluding that while partisan hostility will remain, Trump’s outsider status amplified the vitriol to unprecedented levels.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a deep dive into the latest economic news and its political implications heading into 2026. Clay opens the hour solo, as Buck begins his holiday break, with breaking news that inflation has dropped to 2.7%—the lowest level since spring 2021. Core inflation sits at 2.6%, nearing the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Clay explains why this matters for everyday Americans, connecting the dots between Biden-era spending, skyrocketing prices, and the aggressive interest rate hikes that froze the housing market. He recalls how inflation surged to 9.1% in June 2022 after trillions in stimulus spending, driving mortgage rates above 7% and locking millions of homeowners into historically low rates from 2020–2021. This “housing freeze,” Clay argues, remains one of the biggest drags on economic mobility. Clay then pivots to President Trump’s primetime address, highlighting key announcements that could reshape the economic landscape. Trump declared the U.S. is “poised for an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen,” citing secure borders, falling prices, and rising wages. Among the headline initiatives: Warrior Dividend: A $1,776 tax-free payment for 1.45 million active-duty service members, funded by tariffs and Trump’s “big beautiful bill.”  Historic Tax Cuts: No tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security benefits for seniors, plus projections for the largest tax refund season in U.S. history next spring, with families saving $11,000–$20,000 annually. Reverse Migration: For the first time in 50 years, illegal immigration is declining, easing pressure on housing and job markets. Clay underscores Trump’s claim that over 60% of rental cost growth under Biden was driven by foreign migrants. The hour also features listener calls and debate on immigration policy, housing affordability, and economic optimism. One caller argues Biden’s border policies were beneficial, while Clay challenges Democrats to define a realistic immigration cap. Another listener praises Trump-era optimism, noting that consumer confidence drives spending and economic growth. Clay closes by framing the 2026 midterms as a referendum on economic perception: Will voters feel the benefits of Trump’s policies in time? He draws historical parallels to Ronald Reagan’s slow climb from Carter-era malaise to a 49-state landslide in 1984, predicting that by 2028, the U.S. economy will be “firing on all cylinders.” Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into the political, cultural, and economic issues shaping America as we head toward the 2026 midterms. Clay opens with breaking news updates on the Brown University shooting investigation, the Bondi Beach tragedy in Australia, and a deadly private plane crash in North Carolina possibly linked to NASCAR circles. While authorities release new surveillance footage in the Brown case, Clay notes the lack of progress and growing public frustration. The hour’s central theme focuses on President Trump’s economic strategy and messaging challenge. Clay emphasizes that the 2026 election will hinge on three core issues: economy, border, and crime. With border security restored and violent crime rates plummeting to near 60-year lows in major cities, Trump’s biggest hurdle is convincing voters that the economy is improving without sounding out of touch. Clay cites CNN’s Harry Enten, who reports Democrats in Congress have hit their lowest approval rating ever—55 points underwater overall and 61 points among independents, reflecting widespread voter dissatisfaction. Trump’s Warrior Dividend announcement—a $1,776 tax-free bonus for 1.45 million active-duty service members funded by tariff revenue—should have been universally praised, but Clay highlights how The View criticized the move as a political ploy. He calls this reaction “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” arguing that rewarding soldiers during America’s 250th anniversary is common sense and patriotic. Trump also previewed America 250 celebrations, including hosting the World Cup and Olympics, framing these events as opportunities to restore national pride and optimism. Clay then pivots to cultural battles with guest Brianna Lyman of The Federalist, who delivers a powerful defense of historical literacy amid efforts to erase America’s past. The discussion centers on Virginia’s removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, the legacy of reconciliation after the Civil War, and the dangers of applying modern moral standards to historical figures. Lyman warns that the left’s obsession with tearing down monuments—from Lee to Jefferson and even Washington—aims to delegitimize America’s founding principles and pave the way for radical ideological shifts. Clay and Lyman explore how this “floor vs. ceiling” approach to history—focusing on flaws instead of achievements—threatens national unity, especially as the country prepares for its 250th anniversary in 2026. The segment closes with calls from listeners debating economic optimism, historical context, and Trump’s first-year performance in his second term. Clay underscores that Trump 2.0 earns an A+ for decision-making, but effective communication will determine whether voters feel the progress by November. He draws parallels to Ronald Reagan’s slow climb from Carter-era malaise to a 49-state landslide in 1984, predicting that sustained conservative leadership is essential to reverse decades of policy failures.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a mix of breaking news, cultural commentary, and practical advice for navigating political tensions during the holidays. Clay opens with updates on several major stories: authorities believe they have identified the suspect in the Brown University shooting, which left two students dead and 12 injured after 40 rounds were fired on campus. While no arrest has been made, investigators are also probing a possible link between this attack and the assassination of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro, a nuclear weapons expert killed in his Boston home just days later. Clay underscores the chilling implications of these events and promises continued coverage as details emerge. The hour also touches on tragic news from North Carolina, where NASCAR legend Greg Biffle reportedly died in a private plane crash en route to Florida, according to Daily Mail reports citing close friends. Clay then pivots to a heated media moment: Candace Owens’ explosive claims on Piers Morgan’s show, suggesting two Turning Point USA employees may have had foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination—a theory Clay calls “loony bin crazy” and emblematic of a media ecosystem that rewards outrageous, unverified opinions. He contrasts this with a Washington Post profile of alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, detailing his radicalization, anti-Trump rage, and ties to trans activism, reinforcing what Clay sees as the clear ideological motive behind the killing. From there, the conversation shifts to free speech and defamation law, as Clay critiques the outdated New York Times v. Sullivan standard that makes it nearly impossible for public figures to seek recourse against false claims. He argues that in today’s social media-driven culture, this precedent incentivizes reckless commentary and erodes accountability—a legal debate he predicts will shape the future of American media. In the second half of the hour, psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert joins to offer strategies for surviving holiday gatherings with politically divided families. Alpert warns that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has hardened into personality-level anger for some, fueling anxiety and family estrangement. His advice: prioritize relationships over politics, set boundaries, and redirect conversations to holiday traditions. Callers weigh in with personal stories and coping tactics, from walking away during heated debates to reaffirming shared values. Alpert also explores whether this intense polarization will persist beyond Trump’s presidency, concluding that while partisan hostility will remain, Trump’s outsider status amplified the vitriol to unprecedented levels. Clay closes the hour with lighter fare, teasing a Christmas movie showdown for tomorrow’s show. He invites listeners to debate classics like It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf, Home Alone, and the perennial question: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? He even confesses his fondness for Love Actually, sparking playful controversy among fans.

Vanity Unfair  A sharp critique of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ Vanity Fair interview, which Clay and Buck call a “colossal miscalculation.” They argue that granting extensive access to legacy media outlets like Vanity Fair is a strategic blunder, especially when the piece includes misleading claims about January 6 and cherry-picked quotes.  The discussion highlights lessons learned from Trump’s first term, the administration’s media strategy, and why conservatives should avoid seeking validation from elite publications.   The conversation pivots to 2027 GOP dynamics, with Clay noting that JD Vance is positioned as a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, especially after Marco Rubio reportedly confirmed he won’t challenge Vance. The hosts also dissect internal tensions revealed in the Vanity Fair piece, including Susie Wiles’ harsh criticism of Pam Bondi over the Epstein controversy. Thank You, Clay & Buck Audience Clay and Buck reflect on the show’s growth in 2025, thanking listeners for helping expand to over 550 affiliate stations and previewing plans for more video content in 2026. From there, the conversation pivots to Zohran Mamdani’s controversial proposal for free buses in New York City, which he claims reduces assaults on drivers. Clay and Buck dismantle the logic behind this policy, arguing that eliminating fares incentivizes bad behavior and risks turning buses into “mobile homeless shelters.” They also discuss the broader implications of Mamdani’s socialist agenda and predict that any exodus from New York due to his policies will likely occur in spring and summer. Sen. Rand Paul An in-depth interview with Senator Rand Paul, covering critical issues from foreign policy to domestic economics. Senator Paul strongly opposes what he calls an “offensive war” in Venezuela, warning that U.S. military action to enforce a blockade and target suspected narco-boats amounts to regime change without congressional approval. He stresses constitutional limits on presidential war powers and criticizes the administration’s approach to interdiction, citing high error rates and ethical concerns about targeting unarmed individuals. On Trump’s first year of his second term, Rand Paul gives the administration an “A triple plus” for securing the southern border and maintaining tax cuts, while blasting both parties for runaway spending and ballooning debt. He calls for a balanced budget and entitlement reform as urgent priorities heading into 2026. The discussion then shifts to healthcare policy, where Paul advocates for association health plans, interstate insurance purchasing, and universal health savings accounts to lower costs without taxpayer subsidies. The hour also tackles America’s affordability crisis, with Paul linking soaring housing prices and inflation to reckless government spending and Federal Reserve monetary policy. He warns that rent control and socialist policies—like those embraced by New York’s new mayor—will worsen housing shortages and economic inequality. Clay and Buck underscore that affordability will dominate the 2026 midterms, framing it as a kitchen-table issue for millions of voters. Remembering Clay's Uncle Clay remembers his Uncle Kenneth, an 84-year-old Vietnam Vet, and reminds everyone to thank the veterans in their life and appreciate family while they are still with you.  Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Buck Sexton’s final live broadcast of the year and a deep dive into major headlines shaping the political and cultural conversation. The hour opens with a sharp critique of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ Vanity Fair interview, which Clay and Buck call a “colossal miscalculation.” They argue that granting extensive access to legacy media outlets like Vanity Fair is a strategic blunder, especially when the piece includes misleading claims about January 6 and cherry-picked quotes.  The discussion highlights lessons learned from Trump’s first term, the administration’s media strategy, and why conservatives should avoid seeking validation from elite publications.The conversation pivots to 2027 GOP dynamics, with Clay noting that Vice President JD Vance is positioned as a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, especially after Marco Rubio reportedly confirmed he won’t challenge Vance. The hosts also dissect internal tensions revealed in the Vanity Fair piece, including Susie Wiles’ harsh criticism of Pam Bondi over the Epstein controversy. Next, the show tackles the Brown University shooting investigation, which remains shrouded in mystery. Clay and Buck express frustration over the lack of progress, limited surveillance footage, and reports that the university may be prioritizing PR concerns over transparency. They explore whether political motives could be involved, given that one victim was a prominent college Republican, and question why a multimillion-dollar institution lacks adequate security measures. The hosts underscore parental concerns about campus safety and the broader implications for law enforcement and higher education. In a cultural segment, Clay and Buck react to a viral clip from the TV series Landman mocking The View, sparking a humorous exchange about media bias and entertainment trends. From there, the discussion turns serious with an in-depth analysis of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies and their impact on hiring practices. Buck cites a powerful essay from Compact Magazine detailing how DEI initiatives discriminated against white men in industries like academia, media, and Hollywood, calling the practice unconstitutional and immoral. Clay adds personal anecdotes from law school, challenging the narrative of “white male privilege” and highlighting generational frustrations.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed lineup of political analysis, cultural commentary, and a major Capitol Hill interview. The hour begins with Clay and Buck reflecting on the show’s growth in 2025, thanking listeners for helping expand to over 550 affiliate stations and previewing plans for more video content in 2026.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into political intrigue, California chaos, and explosive legal controversies. The hour kicks off with Katie Zacharia, a California-based legal and political strategist, joining Clay and Buck to break down the looming Democratic primary showdown between Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom. Despite Harris’ poor performance as Vice President, national polling shows her edging out Newsom, sparking speculation about the DNC’s strategy and whether South Carolina will once again be the first primary state—a move that could guarantee Harris an early win thanks to James Clyburn’s influence. Katie also exposes California’s education crisis, citing shocking statistics: Los Angeles public schools have lost 26% of their students over the past decade while increasing staff by nearly 20%. California ranks dead last in literacy nationwide, with only 37% of students meeting math standards. Zachariah blames entrenched teachers’ unions and a Democrat supermajority for blocking school choice and vouchers, leaving parents desperate for alternatives. The conversation shifts to the Malibu wildfire aftermath, where nearly a year later, burned lots remain vacant and rebuilding has stalled. Katie alleges that bureaucratic red tape and Gavin Newsom’s rezoning agenda are forcing homeowners out, paving the way for developers and low-income housing projects. She warns that without voter ID and election integrity reforms, Republicans like Steve Hilton face an uphill battle in California despite growing frustration with Democrat mismanagement. In a bombshell segment, Clay and Buck dissect the Fani Willis scandal after her Trump RICO case collapses. Willis faces grilling over hiring her lover, Nathan Wade, and approving hundreds of thousands in taxpayer-funded payments. The hosts highlight her evasive testimony and jaw-dropping claim that Wade billed 160 hours in a single week, calling it blatant fraud and emblematic of systemic corruption. They also connect this to broader Biden DOJ weaponization, revealing reports that FBI agents opposed the Mar-a-Lago raid for lack of probable cause—only to be overruled by political operatives. The hour closes with Treasury Secretary Scott Besson’s remarks on immigration and housing costs, confirming that mass illegal immigration drove rents up nationwide. With Trump’s border enforcement removing over 2 million illegals, rents are finally dropping—a clear example of supply and demand at work. Clay and Buck underscore how immigration policy directly impacts affordability, especially in cities like New York. Listeners also enjoy lighter moments, including Buck’s reflections on his first Christmas as a dad, Clay’s nostalgia for school holiday breaks, and humorous talkbacks debating pronunciation quirks and firearm preferences. The show wraps with heartfelt holiday wishes and gratitude for an incredible year.

In this episode, Jonathan T.

I'm Getting a Bad Vibe Updates on the Brown University shooting, where speculation grows about whether the attack was a politically motivated assassination targeting Ella Cook, a prominent conservative and College Republicans leader on one of the nation’s most left-wing campuses. Buck examines eyewitness reports suggesting the shooter yelled “Allahu Akbar,” raising questions about radical Islamic extremism and why authorities in Providence are withholding key details. He warns of political spin and compares this case to past incidents where officials obscured jihadist motives, such as the Pulse nightclub attack.  Buck promotes his upcoming book Manufacturing Delusion, warning about the resurgence of radical Islam and the dangers of silencing truth under the guise of political correctness.  Bondi Beach Police Response Buck explores the police response failures during the Bondi attack, highlighting video evidence of officers—particularly female officers—struggling to subdue armed attackers under restrictive use-of-force policies. Buck calls for an honest conversation about physical realities in law enforcement and the dangers of politically driven policing standards.  Buck also investigates the attackers’ training links to jihadist networks in the southern Philippines, including ISIS affiliates like Abu Sayyaf and BIFF. He explains how these terror groups provide ideological indoctrination and tactical skills, drawing parallels to patterns seen in past plots against U.S. targets. This segment underscores the resurgence of radical Islam and the global spread of jihadist ideology. The Lost Generation In a major cultural segment, Buck highlights a Compact Magazine exposé on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), arguing that DEI policies have derailed a generation of professionals, lowered standards in elite institutions, and degraded quality in media, publishing, and Hollywood.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers an intense analysis of global terrorism, political correctness, and security failures following the Bondi Beach terror attack in Australia. Buck Sexton, hosting solo, breaks down why this massacre—where 15 people were killed during a Hanukkah celebration—was clearly an act of radical Islamic jihadism, not a gun-control issue. He exposes the absurdity of proposed tougher gun laws in New South Wales, arguing that the real threat lies in extremist ideology, not firearms. Buck emphasizes that terrorists can kill with knives, vehicles, or bombs, making gun bans ineffective and dangerous for law-abiding citizens. The hour explores the police response failures during the Bondi attack, highlighting video evidence of officers—particularly female officers—struggling to subdue armed attackers under restrictive use-of-force policies. Buck calls for an honest conversation about physical realities in law enforcement and the dangers of politically driven policing standards.  Buck also investigates the attackers’ training links to jihadist networks in the southern Philippines, including ISIS affiliates like Abu Sayyaf and BIFF. He explains how these terror groups provide ideological indoctrination and tactical skills, drawing parallels to patterns seen in past plots against U.S. targets. This segment underscores the resurgence of radical Islam and the global spread of jihadist ideology. The discussion pivots to political correctness and its role in enabling extremism, with Buck and callers condemning Western governments for appeasement and weakness. He cites Benjamin Netanyahu’s scathing criticism of Australia’s Prime Minister for failing to curb antisemitism and contrasts that with Senator John Fetterman’s surprising moral clarity in calling out the “rot” within the Democratic Party over anti-Israel rhetoric. Buck argues that the left’s obsession with Islamophobia narratives blinds them to the real threat of jihadist violence. Listeners weigh in on gun buyback programs, which Buck labels “compensated confiscation,” and caller Jacqueline warns that political correctness fuels radical Islamist violence worldwide. Buck reinforces that mass delusion—not climate change or nuclear war—is humanity’s greatest threat, previewing themes from his upcoming book Manufacturing Delusion.The hour closes with Buck addressing growing media fixation on Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner, noting how the press weaponizes outrage while ignoring violence against conservatives. He promises deeper analysis and Trump’s latest Oval Office remarks in Hour 3.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of political analysis, cultural critique, and national security insights. Buck Sexton, hosting solo, begins by revisiting the Brown University shooting and the Bondi Beach terror attack, emphasizing the likely jihadist training links in the southern Philippines and the broader resurgence of radical Islamic extremism. He warns against political and media efforts to downplay Islamist violence while obsessing over narratives of Islamophobia. The hour pivots to the controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner following Reiner’s tragic death. Buck stresses that while he disagrees with Trump’s tone, the media’s attempt to equate Trump’s rhetoric with actual political violence is dishonest. He dismantles the false moral equivalency pushed by the left, contrasting Trump’s social media posts with real-world violence like the assassination of Charlie Kirk and months of left-wing riots. Buck argues that Democrats remain the party of mobs and weaponized justice, while conservatives are vilified for speech rather than actions. Listeners hear a striking exchange from a recent forum where Charlie Kirk’s widow was asked to condemn Trump—a moment Buck calls “outrageous” and emblematic of the left’s strategy to evade accountability. He also revisits his CNN debate during the 2016 Nice terror attack, where he clashed with pundits blaming assimilation issues instead of jihadist ideology. Buck underscores that terrorism is driven by radical beliefs, not Western shortcomings, and criticizes elites for prioritizing optics over truth. In a major cultural segment, Buck highlights a Compact Magazine exposé on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), arguing that DEI policies have derailed a generation of professionals, lowered standards in elite institutions, and degraded quality in media, publishing, and Hollywood. He explains how diversity hiring became an explicit, racially biased practice that sidelined meritocracy, resulting in declining creativity and institutional prestige. The hour closes with listener emails and talkbacks on topics like women in law enforcement, physical realities in policing, and corrections on gun laws in Connecticut. Buck ties these discussions back to broader themes of honesty, competence, and resisting ideological delusions—echoing themes from his upcoming book Manufacturing Delusion.

It's Not the Gun Laws Australian Prime Minister calls for tougher gun laws, questioning whether limiting firearms ownership would prevent future attacks. They contrast Australia’s approach with America’s Second Amendment protections, emphasizing why armed citizens and well-trained law enforcement are vital for public safety. This segment includes a sobering look at how jihadist ideology and Islamist political movements threaten Western values globally, and why immigration policies must prioritize assimilation over cultural fragmentation. Number One Goal of Society A deep dive into the U.S. economy, highlighting President Donald Trump’s claims of historic tariff revenue and investment commitments totaling $18 trillion, contrasted with previous administrations.

Security Lapses at Brown The conversation then pivots to the Brown University mass shooting, where two students were killed and nine injured during an exam session. The hosts criticize Brown’s strict gun-free zone policy, arguing that banning lawful concealed carry left students defenseless.

The hosts also examine the Australian Prime Minister’s call for tougher gun laws, questioning whether limiting firearms ownership would prevent future attacks. They contrast Australia’s approach with America’s Second Amendment protections, emphasizing why armed citizens and well-trained law enforcement are vital for public safety.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show continues with hard-hitting analysis of major news stories and cultural debates dominating headlines. The hour opens with updates on the Bondi Beach Hanukkah terror attack in Australia, where a father-son duo targeted Jewish worshippers, killing 15 people. Clay and Buck emphasize the ideological roots of this violence, linking it to the globalized Intifada and rising antisemitism since October 7th. They revisit the failure of Australian police during the attack and challenge the narrative that strict gun control laws prevent mass shootings, noting that Australia now has more guns than before its 1996 buyback program. The conversation shifts to the Brown University shooting in Providence, Rhode Island, where the suspect remains at large after killing two and injuring nine during an exam session. The hosts question campus security and law enforcement effectiveness, highlighting the disturbing reality of violent crime in supposedly safe academic environments. Another major topic is the shocking murder of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, allegedly by their son during a mental health crisis. Clay and Buck reflect on Reiner’s legendary film career—spanning classics like The Princess Bride, Stand By Me, and A Few Good Men—while exploring broader issues of mental illness, involuntary commitment laws, and societal failure to address severe psychiatric disorders. They also critique President Trump’s controversial social media response to Reiner’s death, contrasting it with the respectful tone Reiner himself displayed after Charlie Kirk’s assassination earlier this year. Midway through the hour, the hosts take a lighter detour with a spirited debate on music genres, including Clay’s provocative claim that traditional R&B is overrated, sparking listener reactions and humorous cultural commentary. They also touch on Broadway musicals, pop crossovers, and generational tastes, offering a rare glimpse of levity amid a heavy news cycle.  The hour closes with a discussion on Gen Z economics and inflation, prompted by a listener call comparing gold prices and minimum wage from 1980 to today.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay broadcasting from Birmingham, Alabama, where he’s set to speak to hundreds of listeners later in the evening. The hour dives into major cultural and political topics shaping the national conversation. First up is the announcement of Jasmine Crockett’s Senate campaign in Texas, which Clay and Buck analyze as a strategic move likely fueled by inflated online support and aimed at boosting her national profile. They predict her candidacy will generate media attention but question her chances in a deeply conservative state. The discussion then pivots to sports and cultural commentary as the world’s number one women’s tennis player publicly denounces the inclusion of biological men in women’s athletics. Clay and Buck praise her stance as common sense and note the significance of such a high-profile athlete speaking out on fairness in sports. This leads to a broader conversation about gender roles, masculinity, and societal trends. The hosts dissect Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s viral comments claiming Republicans criticize him because they’re “intimidated by his masculinity.” Clay and Buck mock the performative masculinity Democrats attempt to project, arguing that progressive ideology undermines traditional gender norms and alienates male voters. From there, the hour explores deeper cultural issues, including declining birth rates and delayed marriage trends. Clay delivers a passionate monologue on the consequences of prioritizing career over family, warning that societal messaging has misled women into postponing marriage and motherhood, creating long-term demographic and civilizational challenges. Buck adds perspective on the importance of gender roles and family structure, emphasizing that these norms exist for a reason and contribute to societal stability. The conversation takes a sharp turn into media ethics and political discourse as Clay and Buck address the disturbing attacks on Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated 90 days ago. They condemn left-wing commentators for labeling her a “grifter” and calling for her to be “kicked to the curb,” praising Erica’s advocacy as selfless and honorable. The hosts highlight John Fetterman’s unexpected defense of Erika and criticize the silence of some conservatives who should be speaking out. This segment underscores the toxic nature of modern political rhetoric and the moral obligation to defend grieving families from partisan cruelty. Hour 1 closes with lighter moments, including Clay’s controversial take on Christmas music being overplayed and a humorous exchange about holiday gift-giving traditions. The hosts agree that Christmas gifts should be reserved for children, sparking listener reactions and playful banter about practical presents versus extravagant gestures. Clay also teases an upcoming appearance on Kayleigh McEnany’s Fox News show, promising to address recent on-air jabs about his fondness for rosé wine.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of breaking news, cultural debate, and exclusive insights from high-profile interviews. The hour opens with a major economic update: the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by a quarter point, bringing them down to 3.5–3.75%, signaling relief for borrowing costs after years of inflationary pressure under Biden. Clay and Buck analyze what this means for markets and consumer confidence heading into 2026. The centerpiece of the hour is an in-depth conversation with Katie Miller, who recently sat down with Elon Musk for a widely discussed interview. Katie shares behind-the-scenes details about Musk’s personality, work ethic, and vision for humanity. She describes Musk as mission-driven, humble despite his wealth, and uniquely capable of managing multiple groundbreaking companies through intense focus and “context switching.” The discussion explores Musk’s regrets over his involvement with Dogecoin, his predictions about AI making work optional in the future, and the potential for SpaceX to go public at a $1.5 trillion valuation—an event that could make Musk the world’s first trillionaire. Katie also warns about AI’s risks for children and education, emphasizing the need for parental vigilance as technology accelerates. From tech and innovation, the conversation pivots to Australia’s controversial ban on social media for users under 16, sparking a passionate debate on child safety and government regulation. Clay argues that the ban is a smart move, comparing social media’s mental health impact to cigarettes and calling it one of the most harmful public health choices of our era. Buck agrees that universal restrictions would help parents enforce boundaries and protect kids from predators, sextortion schemes, and addictive behaviors. Katie, however, voices skepticism about heavy-handed federal regulation, favoring parental responsibility over blanket laws. The hosts and callers weigh in on whether age limits for social media should mirror existing restrictions on driving, drinking, and voting, with Clay citing data and real-world examples of the dangers posed by unrestricted online access. The hour also addresses the disturbing rise in political violence and online harassment, focusing on the vile attacks against Erica Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated three months ago. Katie praises Erica’s resilience and leadership as she steps into a CEO role while grieving, condemning the left’s attempts to smear her as a “grifter.” Clay and Buck underscore the moral bankruptcy of targeting widows and argue that protecting children—and civil discourse—should be a top priority for government and society. Hour 3 closes with lighter moments, including listener talkbacks on gun preferences, holiday traditions, and Clay’s infamous hot take that Christmas music is overplayed. The hosts share humorous anecdotes about family gift-giving, driving habits, and even President Trump’s love for classic movies like Bloodsport and Top Gun, offering a glimpse into his personal side during White House movie nights.

Get Out of Jail Free Card Breaking news from the world of college football: University of Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore has been fired and faces serious criminal charges after an alleged violent incident involving a former subordinate. Clay details the shocking reports of Moore’s arrest and the potential arraignment, underscoring how this story could dominate national sports and news cycles.  From sports, the conversation pivots to legal and political battles in blue jurisdictions, focusing on the difficulty of securing grand jury indictments against high-profile Democrats like New York Attorney General Letitia James. Buck and Clay analyze why grand juries in deep-blue areas often refuse to indict, even in cases with clear evidence, and praise attorney Lindsay Halligan for her rare success in obtaining indictments against figures such as James Comey and Letitia James. They argue that partisan bias has fractured the justice system and propose reforms, including allowing defendants to move federal cases to their home states for fairer trials. The War on Drugs Escalating ttensions in the Caribbean as the United States seizes a Venezuelan oil tanker, signaling a major escalation in President Donald Trump’s push for regime change against Nicolás Maduro. The hosts detail how Venezuela’s economy—dependent on oil exports and narcotics—is collapsing under U.S. sanctions and military pressure, including 22 strikes on narco-trafficking boats resulting in 80 traffickers killed. They analyze Trump’s strategy, which includes tightening sanctions, seizing oil shipments, and possibly deploying targeted airstrikes or drone operations, while emphasizing that Maduro’s days in power appear numbered. The discussion explores the geopolitical ripple effects, including Cuba’s vulnerability as it relies on Venezuelan oil and the broader implications for global energy markets. Buck argues that stabilizing Venezuela could significantly lower oil and gas prices, reducing shipping costs and easing inflation for American consumers. Clay highlights the irony of climate activists opposing U.S. energy production while forcing reliance on “dirty” foreign oil, and the hosts underscore how communism has turned a resource-rich nation into an economic disaster. They also touch on Chevron’s stake in Venezuelan assets and the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to an exiled Venezuelan dissident who credited Trump for supporting her escape. Nerding Out with Ryan Girdusky Ryan Girdusky, who shares exclusive insights from CDC birth data revealing a sharp decline in births to foreign-born mothers across 41 states. This trend suggests that mass deportations and self-deportation under President Donald Trump’s immigration policies are working, with an estimated 2 to 2.5 million illegal immigrants leaving the U.S. in 2025. Ryan explains how enforcement measures, combined with pending Supreme Court action on birthright citizenship, could further curb illegal immigration and end birth tourism in hotspots like New York, Miami, and California. The discussion highlights the broader impact of immigration enforcement on housing affordability, noting that fewer illegal immigrants reduces demand for homes and rentals. Buck and Clay connect this to recent reports showing a 2.5% drop in home prices and four consecutive months of declining rental rates, signaling relief for young Americans seeking housing. Ryan also critiques outdated immigration laws prioritizing family reunification and urges reforms to strengthen merit-based entry. On the economic front, the trio evaluates Trump’s performance on affordability, praising lower gas prices and reshoring efforts while calling for strategic use of government contracts to boost domestic manufacturing.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off from Miami with Clay and Buck recapping a festive holiday party before diving into major headlines shaping politics, culture, and sports. The hour opens with breaking news from the world of college football: University of Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore has been fired and faces serious criminal charges after an alleged violent incident involving a former subordinate. Clay details the shocking reports of Moore’s arrest and the potential arraignment, underscoring how this story could dominate national sports and news cycles. From sports, the conversation pivots to legal and political battles in blue jurisdictions, focusing on the difficulty of securing grand jury indictments against high-profile Democrats like New York Attorney General Letitia James. Buck and Clay analyze why grand juries in deep-blue areas often refuse to indict, even in cases with clear evidence, and praise attorney Lindsay Halligan for her rare success in obtaining indictments against figures such as James Comey and Letitia James. They argue that partisan bias has fractured the justice system and propose reforms, including allowing defendants to move federal cases to their home states for fairer trials. The hour then shifts to Gavin Newsom’s escalating online feud with Elon Musk, which has gone viral. Newsom, now the leading prediction-market favorite for the 2028 Democratic nomination, sparked outrage by saying he wants “more trans kids” and mocking Musk with a personal jab: “We’re sorry your daughter hates you.” Musk fired back, blaming the “woke mind virus” for harming his child. Clay and Buck dissect the political and moral implications of Newsom’s stance on transgender issues, warning that Democrats’ embrace of radical gender policies—especially for minors—could become a major liability. They highlight the growing backlash against gender surgeries for children, call for federal protections, and predict future class-action lawsuits against hospitals and doctors involved in these procedures. Buck connects this cultural debate to broader societal concerns, citing historical parallels and ethical principles like “do no harm.” The hosts also note disturbing patterns of violence linked to extremist activism, referencing the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk and the symbolism in his courtroom appearance. They argue that the left’s fixation on identity politics has replaced climate change as its dominant ideological crusade, with devastating consequences for children. Hour 1 also features lighter moments, including holiday anecdotes from Buck’s family, Clay’s bourbon-fueled party recap, and listener calls suggesting humorous nicknames for Gavin Newsom, such as “Greasy Gavin McNewcomb.” The segment closes with NFL picks and playful banter, blending serious analysis with the show’s signature conversational style.

From global crises, the hour pivots to a major domestic scandal: former University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore faces felony charges after being fired for an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly broke into the woman’s apartment, threatened suicide in front of her, and made chilling statements like “My blood is on your hands.” Clay and Buck dissect the legal and personal fallout, noting Moore’s $13 million contract termination, his marriage, three young children, and the likelihood of a plea deal combined with psychiatric treatment. They debate workplace ethics, sexual harassment laws, and whether the assistant involved should also face consequences, while callers weigh in on accountability and gender dynamics in high-profile scandals.

Dr. Nicole Saphier breaks down the Senate’s rejection of both parties’ proposals to expand ACA subsidies—and explains why she believes lawmakers finally made the right call. Dr. Saphier offers a sharp critique of the Affordable Care Act, arguing that it has empowered insurance companies while driving up costs and reducing care quality for everyday Americans. She outlines a conservative, patient-centered path forward, including targeted temporary subsidies, expanded Health Savings Accounts, true catastrophic coverage, and the restoration of physician-owned medical centers. With clarity and candor, Dr. Saphier makes the case that only market-driven reforms and a rollback of ACA mandates can restore choice, affordability, and access across the U.S. healthcare system.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, hosts Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss:  European Union vs. Elon Musk and Free Speech The EU fined Elon Musk’s platform X (formerly Twitter) $140 million under the Digital Services Act (DSA) for failing to comply with transparency and moderation requirements. Ben and the Senator argue this is an attack on free speech, claiming the EU wants to impose censorship globally, including on American platforms. They highlight a letter from the EU in August 2024 urging Musk to censor content related to Donald Trump’s interview, framing it as an attempt to silence political discourse. The discussion emphasizes the contrast between U.S. First Amendment protections and Europe’s regulatory approach, warning of potential ripple effects on American free speech. There’s a call for the Trump administration to retaliate with sanctions against the EU, such as tariffs, to prevent foreign influence on U.S. speech norms. 2. Tucker Carlson’s Ties to Qatar Tucker Carlson’s visit to Qatar, where he interviewed the Prime Minister during the Doha Forum. Ben and Senator Cruz criticize Carlson for allegedly failing to ask tough questions about Qatar’s: Support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Funding of anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda, including protests on U.S. campuses. Lobbying efforts in Washington and influence campaigns targeting conservative figures. Restrictive policies on women’s rights. They express concern over Carlson reportedly buying property in Qatar, framing it as aligning with a regime hostile to U.S. interests. The commentary portrays Carlson as sympathetic to authoritarian leaders (similar to his interviews with Putin and Iran’s president), undermining American values and Trump’s foreign policy.

Buck Flying Solo The discussion opens with the economic outlook under President Donald Trump’s second term, emphasizing persistent affordability issues and inflationary pressures that remain despite strong stock market performance. Buck highlights the lingering impact of COVID-era shutdowns and stimulus spending, noting that prices for essentials like housing, healthcare, and education remain high. He cites recent trade deficit improvements as evidence of Trump’s “America First” trade policies and tariff strategy, while warning that Democrats will weaponize price discontent in upcoming elections.  Insights from former SEC Chair Jay Clayton on the 22% price surge under Biden, framing affordability as the defining economic challenge. Buck stresses that Republicans must go beyond blaming Biden-era inflation and articulate clear solutions, including boosting supply and efficiency rather than resorting to destructive price controls—a policy he compares to Venezuela’s economic collapse. The Unaffordable Care Act Buck also addresses healthcare policy battles, revealing dueling Senate bills on Obamacare subsidies and criticizing Democrats’ push to extend Affordable Care Act provisions, which he argues have made healthcare far less affordable. He warns that rising premiums and taxpayer-funded coverage for illegal immigrants remain underreported but critical issues.  Buck calls for unity on the right, rejecting intramural squabbles and urging focus on core priorities: fixing costs, securing the border, and countering media misinformation. He promotes his upcoming book Manufacturing Delusion, which explores propaganda and political manipulation, framing it as essential reading for understanding today’s ideological battles. The Truth About Immigration Buck Sexton leads a candid discussion on the breaking news that a federal judge has ordered the release of Ilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member previously detained by ICE. This controversial ruling sparks debate about the legal wrangling surrounding deportations, the Supreme Court’s involvement, and the Trump administration’s efforts to treat MS-13 as a foreign terrorist organization. Buck frames the immigration crisis as a systemic failure spanning decades, criticizing both Democrats and establishment Republicans for enabling what he calls a “third-world invasion.” He cites expert commentary from Steven Miller, who argues that unchecked immigration impacts every major policy issue—from education and healthcare to crime and the federal deficit. Miller’s analysis underscores how subtracting illegal immigration from these metrics would dramatically improve outcomes, revealing the hidden costs of current policies. We Have to Draw a Line The conversation expands to Trump’s stance on merit-based immigration, including his blunt remarks about prioritizing immigrants from high-functioning countries like Norway and Denmark over those from unstable regions plagued by crime and terrorism. Buck explores the cultural implications of mass migration, questioning whether America can maintain its identity amid tens of millions of illegal immigrants—estimated at 20 to 30 million today. He warns that Democrats’ push for amnesty and open borders could permanently alter the nation’s political and social fabric. Listeners hear Buck dismantle common pro-immigration narratives, challenging the notion that assimilation is automatic. He points to examples in Europe, where large migrant populations have resisted integration, fueling crime and cultural clashes. Buck emphasizes that shared language, law, and culture are essential for national unity, advocating for stronger enforcement and a slowdown in immigration to preserve American values. The hour also touches on DHS Secretary Noem’s testimony on Capitol Hill, where she defends Trump’s immigration policies against Democratic attacks. Buck critiques media coverage, particularly CNN’s framing of the issue, and calls for honesty about historical immigration patterns and their consequences. He argues that America’s foreign-born population has reached unsustainable levels, making assimilation and economic stability increasingly difficult.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show zeroes in on immigration policy, border security, and the cultural and economic consequences of mass migration under President Donald Trump’s administration. Buck Sexton leads a candid discussion on the breaking news that a federal judge has ordered the release of Ilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member previously detained by ICE. This controversial ruling sparks debate about the legal wrangling surrounding deportations, the Supreme Court’s involvement, and the Trump administration’s efforts to treat MS-13 as a foreign terrorist organization. Buck frames the immigration crisis as a systemic failure spanning decades, criticizing both Democrats and establishment Republicans for enabling what he calls a “third-world invasion.” He cites expert commentary from Steven Miller, who argues that unchecked immigration impacts every major policy issue—from education and healthcare to crime and the federal deficit. Miller’s analysis underscores how subtracting illegal immigration from these metrics would dramatically improve outcomes, revealing the hidden costs of current policies. The conversation expands to Trump’s stance on merit-based immigration, including his blunt remarks about prioritizing immigrants from high-functioning countries like Norway and Denmark over those from unstable regions plagued by crime and terrorism. Buck explores the cultural implications of mass migration, questioning whether America can maintain its identity amid tens of millions of illegal immigrants—estimated at 20 to 30 million today. He warns that Democrats’ push for amnesty and open borders could permanently alter the nation’s political and social fabric. Listeners hear Buck dismantle common pro-immigration narratives, challenging the notion that assimilation is automatic. He points to examples in Europe, where large migrant populations have resisted integration, fueling crime and cultural clashes. Buck emphasizes that shared language, law, and culture are essential for national unity, advocating for stronger enforcement and a slowdown in immigration to preserve American values. The hour also touches on DHS Secretary Noem’s testimony on Capitol Hill, where she defends Trump’s immigration policies against Democratic attacks. Buck critiques media coverage, particularly CNN’s framing of the issue, and calls for honesty about historical immigration patterns and their consequences. He argues that America’s foreign-born population has reached unsustainable levels, making assimilation and economic stability increasingly difficult. Throughout Hour 2, Buck urges Republicans to stay focused on immigration as a defining issue for the midterms, alongside affordability and economic messaging. He closes with reflections on cultural cohesion, the importance of English as a national language, and the need for policies that prioritize American interests over globalist agendas.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of economic analysis, housing affordability challenges, healthcare reform debates, and a sobering update on the Charlie Kirk assassination case. Buck Sexton hosts solo, emphasizing that the economy remains the number one political issue heading into the midterms. The hour begins with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt outlining President Donald Trump’s commitment to fixing affordability and reversing the damage caused by Biden-era inflation. Buck underscores the urgency of addressing skyrocketing housing costs—up 50–60% nationwide—and explores potential solutions, including deregulation, faster permitting, and even a national housing emergency declaration. He critiques the Federal Reserve for being “too little, too late” on interest rate cuts, arguing that aggressive monetary policy is essential to restore balance in the housing market.The conversation pivots to breaking news: the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk appears in court in a closed session. Buck previews an upcoming interview with Erica Kirk, Charlie’s widow and CEO of Turning Point USA, who condemns the disturbing online celebration of her husband’s murder. Buck frames this tragedy as a stark reminder of the cultural and moral decay fueled by extremist ideology, warning that the fight for America is not only political but deeply spiritual. Next, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin joins the show to discuss economic recovery, healthcare reform, and legislative priorities. Johnson explains that permanent dollar devaluation under Biden has locked in higher prices, making affordability a long-term challenge. He advocates for reducing regulatory barriers to housing construction and warns that Democrats are obstructing progress to sabotage Trump’s success. On healthcare, Johnson identifies the third-party payer system as the root cause of soaring costs, calling for a return to consumer-driven models through Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and free-market competition. He highlights examples like cash-only surgical centers offering procedures at one-tenth the cost of hospitals, illustrating the potential for dramatic savings. The senator also addresses judicial confirmations, oversight of vaccine injuries, and the need to dismantle Obamacare’s consolidation of healthcare markets. Looking ahead to 2026, Johnson stresses that Republican messaging on economic and healthcare solutions will be critical to maintaining Senate control, especially in battleground states like Michigan and Wisconsin. Buck closes the hour with optimism about Trump’s economic agenda, citing Howard Lutnick’s bullish forecast of 4–6% GDP growth under policies focused on lowering interest rates, cutting energy costs, and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime. Listener talkbacks add a personal touch, with humorous exchanges on Christmas traditions, Broadway’s Hamilton, and firearm preferences, reinforcing the show’s blend of serious analysis and relatable conversation.

Importance of Gender Roles Clay is broadcasting from our Birmingham, Alabama, affiliate, WERC, where he’s doing a couple of charity events tonight.  The hour dives into major cultural and political topics shaping the national conversation. First up is the announcement of Jasmine Crockett’s Senate campaign in Texas, which Clay and Buck analyze as a strategic move likely fueled by inflated online support and aimed at boosting her national profile. They predict her candidacy will generate media attention but question her chances in a deeply conservative state. The discussion then pivots to sports and cultural commentary as the world’s number one women’s tennis player publicly denounces the inclusion of biological men in women’s athletics. Clay and Buck praise her stance as common sense and note the significance of such a high-profile athlete speaking out on fairness in sports. This leads to a broader conversation about gender roles, masculinity, and societal trends. The hosts dissect Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s viral comments claiming Republicans criticize him because they’re “intimidated by his masculinity.” Clay and Buck mock the performative masculinity Democrats attempt to project, arguing that progressive ideology undermines traditional gender norms and alienates male voters. We Have a Culture Problem President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, where he addresses affordability concerns and economic messaging ahead of the 2026 midterms. Trump touts falling gas prices—some states reporting under $2 per gallon—and emphasizes his administration’s efforts to stabilize energy markets despite lingering inflation caused by Biden-era policies. Clay and Buck analyze how affordability will be a key battleground issue, noting that Democrats are leveraging economic frustration while Trump counters with tangible progress on energy and cost-of-living metrics. The conversation then pivots to immigration and welfare abuse, spotlighting a shocking statistic: 81% of Somali immigrant families in Minnesota are on welfare. Clay and Buck argue this violates the spirit and letter of the Immigration and Nationality Act’s “public charge” rule, which prohibits admitting immigrants likely to become dependent on government aid. They blast the bipartisan failure to enforce these laws and highlight cultural and educational disparities that drive such dependency. The hosts contrast Somali immigrants’ outcomes with high-achieving groups like Nigerian and Taiwanese Americans, dismantling claims that racism explains economic gaps and stressing the need for merit-based immigration reform. Jennifer Welch is Awful Clay and Buck address the disturbing attacks on Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated 90 days ago. They condemn left-wing commentators for labeling her a “grifter” and calling for her to be “kicked to the curb,” praising Erica’s advocacy as selfless and honorable. The hosts highlight John Fetterman’s unexpected defense of Erika and criticize the silence of some conservatives who should be speaking out. This segment underscores the toxic nature of modern political rhetoric and the moral obligation to defend grieving families from partisan cruelty. The Aussie Social Media Ban A major cultural debate: Australia’s decision to ban social media for anyone under 16. Clay strongly supports the move, comparing social media’s mental health impact to smoking and arguing that early exposure has fueled anxiety, bullying, and predatory risks for teens. Buck adds that online platforms erode attention spans and expose minors to grooming and sextortion schemes, citing chilling cases where teenage boys were blackmailed into suicide after being targeted by fake accounts. Both hosts call for U.S. policymakers to consider similar restrictions, framing social media as a public health crisis and urging parents to advocate for age-based limits akin to driving or drinking laws. The discussion expands into broader societal implications, including the dangers of digital permanence, the rise of AI-driven scams, and the cultural shift toward instant gratification. Clay and Buck emphasize that delaying social media access would improve mental health, restore face-to-face interaction, and reduce risks tied to online predators. They invite listener feedback through polls and calls, sparking a lively exchange on whether America should follow Australia’s lead.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay broadcasting from Birmingham, Alabama, where he’s set to speak to hundreds of listeners later in the evening. The hour dives into major cultural and political topics shaping the national conversation.

From there, the hour explores deeper cultural issues, including declining birth rates and delayed marriage trends. Clay delivers a passionate monologue on the consequences of prioritizing career over family, warning that societal messaging has misled women into postponing marriage and motherhood, creating long-term demographic and civilizational challenges. Buck adds perspective on the importance of gender roles and family structure, emphasizing that these norms exist for a reason and contribute to societal stability. The conversation takes a sharp turn into media ethics and political discourse as Clay and Buck address the disturbing attacks on Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated 90 days ago.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of breaking news, cultural debate, and exclusive insights from high-profile interviews. The hour opens with a major economic update: the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by a quarter point, bringing them down to 3.5–3.75%, signaling relief for borrowing costs after years of inflationary pressure under Biden. Clay and Buck analyze what this means for markets and consumer confidence heading into 2026. The centerpiece of the hour is an in-depth conversation with Katie Miller, who recently sat down with Elon Musk for a widely discussed interview. Katie shares behind-the-scenes details about Musk’s personality, work ethic, and vision for humanity. She describes Musk as mission-driven, humble despite his wealth, and uniquely capable of managing multiple groundbreaking companies through intense focus and “context switching.” The discussion explores Musk’s regrets over his involvement with Dogecoin, his predictions about AI making work optional in the future, and the potential for SpaceX to go public at a $1.5 trillion valuation—an event that could make Musk the world’s first trillionaire. Katie also warns about AI’s risks for children and education, emphasizing the need for parental vigilance as technology accelerates. From tech and innovation, the conversation pivots to Australia’s controversial ban on social media for users under 16, sparking a passionate debate on child safety and government regulation. Clay argues that the ban is a smart move, comparing social media’s mental health impact to cigarettes and calling it one of the most harmful public health choices of our era. Buck agrees that universal restrictions would help parents enforce boundaries and protect kids from predators, sextortion schemes, and addictive behaviors. Katie, however, voices skepticism about heavy-handed federal regulation, favoring parental responsibility over blanket laws. The hosts and callers weigh in on whether age limits for social media should mirror existing restrictions on driving, drinking, and voting, with Clay citing data and real-world examples of the dangers posed by unrestricted online access. The hour also addresses the disturbing rise in political violence and online harassment, focusing on the vile attacks against Erica Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated three months ago. Katie praises Erica’s resilience and leadership as she steps into a CEO role while grieving, condemning the left’s attempts to smear her as a “grifter.” Clay and Buck underscore the moral bankruptcy of targeting widows and argue that protecting children—and civil discourse—should be a top priority for government and society. Hour 3 closes with lighter moments, including listener talkbacks on gun preferences, holiday traditions, and Clay’s infamous hot take that Christmas music is overplayed. The hosts share humorous anecdotes about family gift-giving, driving habits, and even President Trump’s love for classic movies like Bloodsport and Top Gun, offering a glimpse into his personal side during White House movie nights.

Clay: I'd be a Better SCOTUS Judge Clay and Buck break down the case that could redefine the separation of powers by determining whether presidents can fire executive branch officials who lead independent regulatory agencies. They argue that this decision isn’t just about Donald Trump—it will impact every future president, from Obama to potential leaders like Gavin Newsom or JD Vance. The hosts criticize Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comments during oral arguments, questioning her understanding of constitutional principles and highlighting what they see as her overtly political approach. Clay even raises the provocative argument that Biden’s pledge to appoint a Black woman to the Court may have violated federal law, sparking a broader discussion on merit, diversity, and judicial competence. The hour then pivots to cultural commentary, featuring clips from The View and a spirited debate about Donald Trump’s legacy. Clay and Buck dismantle claims that Trump will be a mere “footnote,” asserting that he is the most influential political figure of the 21st century and second only to Ronald Reagan in the past 45 years. They compare Trump’s impact to other modern presidents, including Obama, Clinton, and George W. Bush, and explore how Trump reshaped American politics and global dynamics. This segment underscores the enduring influence of Trump’s policies and persona, regardless of media narratives. Uncle Bill Stops By Bill O’Reilly (aka Uncle Bill) shares candid insights from his recent conversations with President Trump. O’Reilly ranks Trump among the top ten U.S. presidents, praising his unmatched work ethic while noting that Abraham Lincoln will always hold the number one spot. He contrasts Trump’s accomplishments with what he calls Joe Biden’s catastrophic presidency, arguing Biden failed to solve a single major problem during his term. O’Reilly also warns that affordability concerns—particularly rising insurance costs—could become a defining issue in the 2026 midterms, even as Trump touts strong economic fundamentals like job growth and stock market gains. Can You Afford Your Life? The discussion pivots to Trump’s economic strategy and his push to address affordability through a Pennsylvania tour. Clay and Buck emphasize that inflation and high prices remain top-of-mind for voters, regardless of improving economic indicators. They spotlight Trump’s critique of Obamacare, playing audio where Trump blasts the law as a “disaster” that enriches insurance companies while leaving Americans with skyrocketing premiums and shrinking networks. The hosts argue that the entire healthcare system is broken, riddled with hidden costs and subsidies, and warn that demographic shifts—more retirees and fewer young workers—will strain programs like Social Security and Medicare for decades to come. Over half of Americans pay no federal income tax, while government spending under Biden—$6.8 trillion in 2021 alone—fueled historic inflation. The hosts dismantle progressive proposals like tax exemptions as reparations, pointing out that many households already pay zero federal income tax. They end the hour by reaffirming that Biden’s reckless spending spree drove inflation from 1.7% to over 9%, cementing economic frustration as a key issue heading into the next election cycle. Christmas Music and Gifts are Overrated A spirited debate about holiday traditions, gift-giving, and the commercialization of Christmas. Clay admits he’s “going Grinch” over the nonstop barrage of Christmas music and argues that only children should receive gifts, while Buck shares his preference for practical contributions like college fund donations over material presents. Callers weigh in with creative solutions, including gift exchange apps and liquor swaps, adding humor and relatability to the discussion. The hour closes with a playful exchange about presidential rankings, as listeners challenge the hosts’ takes on George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson, sparking a lively historical debate.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a deep dive into one of the most consequential legal debates in decades: the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on presidential authority. Clay and Buck break down the case that could redefine the separation of powers by determining whether presidents can fire executive branch officials who lead independent regulatory agencies. They argue that this decision isn’t just about Donald Trump—it will impact every future president, from Obama to potential leaders like Gavin Newsom or JD Vance. The hosts criticize Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comments during oral arguments, questioning her understanding of constitutional principles and highlighting what they see as her overtly political approach. Clay even raises the provocative argument that Biden’s pledge to appoint a Black woman to the Court may have violated federal law, sparking a broader discussion on merit, diversity, and judicial competence. The hour then pivots to cultural commentary, featuring clips from The View and a spirited debate about Donald Trump’s legacy. Clay and Buck dismantle claims that Trump will be a mere “footnote,” asserting that he is the most influential political figure of the 21st century and second only to Ronald Reagan in the past 45 years. They compare Trump’s impact to other modern presidents, including Obama, Clinton, and George W. Bush, and explore how Trump reshaped American politics and global dynamics. This segment underscores the enduring influence of Trump’s policies and persona, regardless of media narratives. Political news takes center stage as the hosts analyze Jasmine Crockett’s announcement that she will run for the U.S. Senate in Texas. Clay and Buck predict her campaign is less about winning and more about elevating her national profile for lucrative media opportunities or a future presidential bid in 2028. They discuss Crockett’s strategy, her appeal to identity politics, and the challenges Democrats face in Texas. The conversation also touches on the fallout from Colin Allred’s withdrawal, the role of redistricting in shaping congressional power, and the broader implications for the 2026 midterms. In a humorous twist, the hosts dissect Crockett’s lavish spending habits and speculate about her ambitions to join shows like The View or networks such as CNN or MSNBC.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerhouse mix of political analysis, historical intrigue, and economic debate. The hour begins with a high-profile interview featuring Bill O’Reilly, who shares candid insights from his recent conversations with President Trump. O’Reilly ranks Trump among the top ten U.S. presidents, praising his unmatched work ethic while noting that Abraham Lincoln will always hold the number one spot. He contrasts Trump’s accomplishments with what he calls Joe Biden’s catastrophic presidency, arguing Biden failed to solve a single major problem during his term. O’Reilly also warns that affordability concerns—particularly rising insurance costs—could become a defining issue in the 2026 midterms, even as Trump touts strong economic fundamentals like job growth and stock market gains. The discussion pivots to Trump’s economic strategy and his push to address affordability through a Pennsylvania tour. Clay and Buck emphasize that inflation and high prices remain top-of-mind for voters, regardless of improving economic indicators. They spotlight Trump’s critique of Obamacare, playing audio where Trump blasts the law as a “disaster” that enriches insurance companies while leaving Americans with skyrocketing premiums and shrinking networks. The hosts argue that the entire healthcare system is broken, riddled with hidden costs and subsidies, and warn that demographic shifts—more retirees and fewer young workers—will strain programs like Social Security and Medicare for decades to come. From domestic policy, the conversation shifts to national security and immigration. Clay and Buck analyze the controversy surrounding U.S. strikes on Venezuelan narco-trafficking boats, noting Trump’s defense of the operations and his fiery exchange with ABC’s Rachel Scott over releasing surveillance video. Polling shows strong public support for the strikes, but the hosts say Democrats are scrambling to weaponize the issue against Trump. They also highlight Trump’s immigration successes, including data suggesting self-deportation trends under his policies, while contrasting that with far-left efforts to shield illegal immigrants from enforcement. A viral clip of New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani advising illegals on how to avoid ICE raids sparks outrage and underscores the Democrats’ vulnerability on border security. Hour 2 closes with a spirited debate on taxes and spending. Callers weigh in on whether taxes or insurance costs are the biggest financial burden, prompting Clay and Buck to break down the reality: over half of Americans pay no federal income tax, while government spending under Biden—$6.8 trillion in 2021 alone—fueled historic inflation. The hosts dismantle progressive proposals like tax exemptions as reparations, pointing out that many households already pay zero federal income tax. They end the hour by reaffirming that Biden’s reckless spending spree drove inflation from 1.7% to over 9%, cementing economic frustration as a key issue heading into the next election cycle.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into a mix of cultural, political, and economic debates that define today’s headlines. The hour opens with Clay and Buck discussing Australia’s groundbreaking decision to ban social media for everyone under 16, sparking a conversation about digital safety, parental responsibility, and whether similar measures could gain traction in the United States. From there, the hosts pivot to the high-stakes corporate battle over media consolidation, analyzing Netflix’s potential acquisition of Warner Brothers versus Paramount’s competing bid. Clay argues that these mergers will shape the future of news coverage and political discourse through 2026 and beyond, emphasizing how media ownership influences public opinion and elections. The conversation then shifts to immigration and fraud, focusing on the Somali-American community in Minnesota and the explosive allegations of widespread misuse of government programs. Clay and Buck highlight former President Trump’s blunt criticism of Ilhan Omar and the systemic failures that allowed fraud to persist unchecked. They underscore how accusations of racism were used as a shield to block investigations, raising questions about accountability and the integrity of U.S. immigration policy. A viral video from a Vietnamese immigrant adds fuel to the discussion, contrasting the success of Vietnamese and Nigerian immigrants with the struggles of Somali communities, dismantling claims that racism alone explains economic disparities. The hosts argue that cultural attitudes toward education, entrepreneurship, and assimilation play a far greater role than skin color in determining success. From immigration, the hour pivots to education and pandemic politics. Clay and Buck call out Teachers Union leader Randi Weingarten for falsely blaming Trump for school closures during COVID-19, labeling her comments as historical revisionism. They remind listeners that union resistance—not presidential policy—was the primary obstacle to reopening schools, and they stress the importance of holding these organizations accountable for the long-term damage inflicted on students. The final segment takes a lighter turn with a spirited debate about holiday traditions, gift-giving, and the commercialization of Christmas. Clay admits he’s “going Grinch” over the nonstop barrage of Christmas music and argues that only children should receive gifts, while Buck shares his preference for practical contributions like college fund donations over material presents. Callers weigh in with creative solutions, including gift exchange apps and liquor swaps, adding humor and relatability to the discussion. The hour closes with a playful exchange about presidential rankings, as listeners challenge the hosts’ takes on George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson, sparking a lively historical debate.

A New Era of News A major revelation from The New York Times confirming widespread corruption in Ukraine. Clay and Buck analyze how billions in U.S. aid have been misused, validating long-standing concerns and raising questions about accountability and foreign policy under the Trump administration. This segment underscores the geopolitical stakes as peace negotiations continue and corruption scandals dominate headlines. The discussion then shifts to one of the most consequential media stories of the year: Netflix’s bid to acquire Warner Brothers versus Paramount’s competing offer. Clay argues that this battle will shape the future of news and entertainment, particularly CNN’s editorial direction. He makes the case that Paramount ownership could restore balance to CNN, while Buck explains why the network’s old model is unsalvageable in today’s opinion-driven media era. Together, they explore how media consolidation, antitrust law, and cultural influence will impact American discourse for years to come. Biden's Border Bomb A deep dive into one of the most explosive political stories of the week: the New York Times admission that the Biden administration catastrophically mishandled immigration policy. Clay and Buck break down how Democrats ignored repeated warnings about the border crisis, prioritizing other issues like COVID and the economy, and how this failure has fueled record illegal crossings. The hosts argue that this was not incompetence but an intentional strategy to reshape congressional apportionment and future elections by allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the country. They also highlight how Democrats are now scrambling to rebrand themselves as pro-border security ahead of the 2026 midterms, a move Clay and Buck call disingenuous given the administration’s open-border agenda. The conversation expands into the root causes of mass migration, with Clay explaining why America’s unmatched economic opportunity acts as a magnet for illegal immigration. He also zeroes in on birthright citizenship as a major policy flaw, tracing its historical origins and calling for the Supreme Court to eliminate this incentive going forward. Buck underscores how birth tourism and chain migration have turned U.S. immigration into a system that rewards lawbreaking while sidelining merit-based entry. Both hosts argue for a complete overhaul of immigration policy—legal and illegal—to restore assimilation and protect American sovereignty. The N Word Analysis of a headline-grabbing Supreme Court case that could redefine presidential authority for generations. Clay and Buck clarify that this ruling isn’t about giving Trump more power alone—it’s about restoring executive control for all future presidents, from Obama to Trump to whoever comes next. They stress the seismic implications for the separation of powers and the ability of presidents to manage entrenched bureaucracies.  The conversation then pivots to a controversial jury verdict in Portland, where a homeless man was acquitted of stabbing another after claiming self-defense because a racial slur was used. Clay and Buck dissect the case, arguing that this decision sets a dangerous precedent by equating words with violence. They warn that normalizing the idea that offensive speech justifies physical harm undermines the First Amendment and erodes legal principles. The hosts connect this mindset to broader cultural trends, including left-wing arguments that speech can be violence—a concept they say fuels political extremism and even assassination attempts against figures like Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk. Words as Violence A passionate commentary on censorship and the absurdity of banning certain words in all contexts, even in literature or historical quotes. Clay shares a personal anecdote about a publisher refusing to print Muhammad Ali’s famous quote in his book, illustrating how far word policing has gone. Buck adds that this double standard—where some can use inflammatory language freely while others face ruin—reflects a broken cultural norm. Both hosts emphasize that context matters and violence should never be an acceptable response to speech, no matter how offensive.  The audience weighs in on free speech, jury decisions, and the erosion of common-sense principles like “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” The discussion touches on historical legal doctrines such as the “fighting words” standard and why it fails in a modern society that values free expression. Clay and Buck argue for treating adults like adults and resisting the trend toward censorship and hypersensitivity.

The hosts question whether fentanyl or cocaine is the real target and connect these developments to the collapse of the so-called “axis of evil.” Clay emphasizes how these shifts in global power dynamics could influence energy markets and U.S. foreign policy.

Both hosts argue for a complete overhaul of immigration policy—legal and illegal—to restore assimilation and protect American sovereignty. From immigration, the hour pivots to cultural and political dynamics within the conservative movement. Clay and Buck analyze Marjorie Taylor Greene’s high-profile 60 Minutes interview and her public feud with Donald Trump, noting how legacy media suddenly embraced Greene once she criticized Trump. They expose CBS and 60 Minutes for their hypocrisy, recalling Leslie Stahl’s infamous dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop story as “Russian disinformation” and questioning why mainstream outlets refuse to admit their mistakes. This segment evolves into a broader discussion about unity on the right, with Clay warning against purity tests and infighting now that the existential threat of Biden’s presidency has diminished. Hour 2 also tackles a critical Supreme Court case that could redefine presidential power for decades. Clay explains why the ability of a president to hire and fire executive branch employees is essential to maintaining constitutional separation of powers. The hosts argue that unelected bureaucrats have amassed unchecked authority, undermining the executive branch and creating a shadow government resistant to accountability. Buck draws parallels to Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter, suggesting that federal agencies could operate more efficiently with far fewer employees.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a provocative and wide-ranging discussion on free speech, legal precedent, and cultural norms in America. The hour begins with analysis of a headline-grabbing Supreme Court case that could redefine presidential authority for generations.

Clay and Buck argue for treating adults like adults and resisting the trend toward censorship and hypersensitivity. In the final segment, the hosts shift to breaking political news: Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett filing paperwork to run for the U.S. Senate. Clay predicts her candidacy is more about raising her national profile than winning statewide office and even speculates she could run for president in 2028. Buck agrees, noting the strategic upside for Crockett in building name recognition. The hour closes with a teaser for tomorrow’s debate on Australia’s decision to ban social media for everyone under 16—a move that could spark similar proposals in the U.S. Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The escalating drug boat strikes in the Caribbean, a bold Trump administration initiative targeting narco-terrorist operations linked to Venezuela. The hosts analyze reports alleging a controversial “double-tap” strike on a vessel, sparking accusations of potential war crimes. They break down the legal and ethical implications under the Law of Armed Conflict, debate media narratives, and highlight Democrats’ efforts to use this story to politically damage Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Clay offers a lawyer’s perspective on whether follow-up strikes were lawful, while Buck compares this situation to past drone strike controversies under previous administrations. Adding to the tension, the show covers Trump’s ultimatum to Nicolás Maduro, giving the Venezuelan leader until Friday to vacate power or face possible U.S. action. The hosts weigh the pros and cons of regime change, its historical pitfalls, and its strategic significance given Venezuela’s vast oil reserves. They invite Venezuelan-American listeners to share their views on intervention and democracy restoration. High-stakes political drama and breaking news as the Venezuelan drug boat strike controversy dominates headlines. The hour opens with updates from President Trump’s marathon cabinet meeting, which lasted over two hours and was broadcast live on major networks. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed the September 2 strike on a narco-terrorist vessel, defending the decision to “eliminate the threat” and dismantle cartel operations responsible for flooding the U.S. with fentanyl. Hegseth blasted the Washington Post for publishing what he called “fake stories” about alleged kill orders, stressing the reality of the fog of war and reaffirming that commanders acted lawfully under the Law of Armed Conflict. Clay and Buck analyze the legal and strategic implications, warning that Democrats and the media are using this narrative to delegitimize Hegseth and weaken Trump’s foreign policy as part of a broader impeachment strategy. The discussion expands to Venezuela, raising questions about whether Maduro’s removal signals a deeper U.S. commitment to regime change and intervention. Clay and Buck emphasize Trump’s aggressive stance against narco-terrorists as a national security imperative, contrasting deterrence with appeasement. They argue that clear, consistent messaging from the administration could neutralize the controversy and prevent political fallout. Listener calls add fiery energy to the hour, with viral moments like Linda’s blunt declaration—“When in doubt, take ’em out”—sparking debate over rules of engagement and ethics in warfare. Other callers draw parallels to historic military actions, from the Bin Laden raid to naval confrontations with Iran, fueling a lively discussion on legality, morality, and public perception.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into the aftermath of Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District special election, where Republican Matt Van Epps secured a decisive nine-point victory over Democrat Afton Bain. Clay and Buck break down why this off-calendar election mattered, emphasizing low turnout—roughly half of a typical congressional race—and how Democrats hoped to flip a Trump-leaning district but failed. The hosts credit grassroots awareness and strong support from President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson for the win, reinforcing a key takeaway: “Running with Trump is how you win.” Van Epps himself echoed this sentiment in his victory speech, signaling the GOP’s strategy heading into 2026. The discussion also explores voter behavior in special elections, contrasting Republican voters’ busy family lives with Democrats’ identity-driven activism. Clay shares personal insights on living in Williamson County, Tennessee, and why he refuses to support Davidson County after its COVID policies. Buck adds humor about avoiding a “communist dystopia” in Clay’s district, while callers from Alabama, Florida, and Michigan weigh in on the race’s significance and the broader political landscape, including battleground states like Michigan. Beyond politics, Hour 1 touches on cultural and economic trends. Clay highlights American Eagle Outfitters’ stock surge following its controversial Sidney Sweeney ad campaign, arguing that traditional advertising resonates more than “woke” marketing. The hosts also tease upcoming stories, including President Trump’s comments on Somali fraud in Minnesota, and share lighthearted banter about holiday gift ideas, cozy blankets, and nostalgic tech like walkie-talkies.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed lineup of political analysis and breaking commentary. The hour opens with an exclusive interview with Congressman Jim Jordan, who outlines the GOP’s legislative priorities before the 2026 campaign season kicks into high gear. Jordan emphasizes healthcare reform focused on choice and competition, rejecting expanded Obamacare subsidies, and highlights the need for tax cuts and regulatory reform to combat lingering inflation. He warns that despite progress under President Trump, prices remain painfully high for everyday Americans—a reality that could shape the 2026 midterm elections. Jordan also stresses the importance of passing a real budget, avoiding endless continuing resolutions, and protecting civil liberties during the upcoming FISA reauthorization, citing alarming revelations about government surveillance. The conversation pivots to Democratic strategy and the fallout from the longest government shutdown, with Jordan predicting the left will double down on extreme policies, from open borders to gender ideology. Clay and Buck underscore the political stakes: losing the House could trigger another Trump impeachment and stall conservative reforms. Later in the hour, the hosts tackle a major controversy in Minnesota—President Trump’s fiery remarks on the Somali fraud scandal, where scammers allegedly billed for 125 million fake meals under a child-feeding program, siphoning off billions in taxpayer funds. Clay and Buck dissect the cultural and political implications, questioning whether fear of appearing “xenophobic” allowed systemic fraud to flourish. They draw parallels to the UK’s grooming gang scandals and debate assimilation challenges, spotlighting cases where defendants cite Somali cultural norms as a defense in U.S. courts. This segment raises urgent questions about immigration policy, law enforcement, and cultural accountability.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a victory lap over Matt Van Epps’ nine-point win in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, marking the final election of 2025 and setting the stage for the 2026 midterms. Clay and Buck analyze key takeaways: Democrats dominated blue states while Republicans held strong in red states, but the looming question remains—how will GOP turnout look without Trump on the ballot? The hosts highlight Trump’s achievements on border security and crime reduction, citing record deportations and plummeting violent crime rates in cities like Memphis and Washington, D.C., while predicting that affordability and inflation will define the next election cycle. The hour pivots to cultural and demographic trends, addressing fears that migration from blue states could “California” red states. Clay and Buck push back, citing data that COVID-era transplants to Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are making red states even redder, with Florida flipping from a Democrat registration advantage to a million-plus Republican lead. They mix in humor and generational slang, explaining terms like “Riz” and joking about “broccoli haircuts,” while engaging listeners on social platforms. In a major geopolitical segment, the hosts dissect reports that President Trump has given Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro until Friday to step down, amid rumors of back-channel negotiations and heightened U.S. military presence in the Caribbean. They debate whether regime change could stabilize Venezuela and curb illegal immigration, drawing historical parallels to Operation Just Cause and Noriega’s ouster in Panama. Caller reactions add depth, with strong opinions on U.S. intervention and its potential impact on Latin America. Hour 3 also features lively listener calls and VIP emails on topics ranging from urban liberal sprawl in places like Spokane to lifestyle debates over warm vs. cold climates. Clay shares personal anecdotes about skiing mishaps and why he prefers après-ski culture over hitting the slopes, while Buck critiques the unrealistic portrayal of Montana winters in the hit series Yellowstone. The conversation closes with lighthearted banter about man cards, raccoons raiding liquor stores, and defending Buck’s cozy habits.

Steve Hilton: Hold My Beer  Buck highlights two major fraud scandals in Minnesota and California, exposing systemic corruption tied to one-party rule and sanctuary policies. He highlights the staggering $300 million fraud in Minnesota’s child nutrition program and plays Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s evasive response. Buck then interviews Steve Hilton, who is running for governor of California, to discuss the state’s own crisis of waste and mismanagement. Hilton reveals shocking figures: $20 billion lost to unemployment fraud during the pandemic, $24 billion squandered on homelessness programs, and $13 billion allocated for free healthcare for illegal immigrants—all under Gavin Newsom’s leadership.  Hilton details how California’s “homeless industrial complex” funnels taxpayer money into crony nonprofits and inflated housing projects, with units costing up to $1 million each while homelessness worsens. He also exposes Newsom’s failed promises, including a half-billion-dollar emergency communication system that doesn’t work, and warns of Newsom’s looming presidential ambitions backed by elite donors.  The discussion closes with sharp political insights into Kamala Harris’s declining influence, Josh Shapiro’s blunt criticism of her leadership, and the early maneuvering of California Democrats ahead of 2028. Hilton predicts a fierce battle among figures like Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, and Eric Swalwell, while emphasizing the urgent need to dismantle California’s entrenched political machine. Clay Calls In from FIFA!  Clay calls in from the FIFA World Cup draw event at the Kennedy Center, where President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Award. Clay describes the event’s global scale, Trump’s vision of tying the World Cup to America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, and the cultural clash between soccer’s left-leaning U.S. fan base and Trump’s presence. Buck and Clay discuss the international reaction, noting outrage from sports media and European elites, while highlighting Trump’s strategic use of global sports diplomacy. Sen. Markwayne Mullin  Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma provides critical insight into U.S. national security and economic policy. Mullin confirms the legality and necessity of recent military strikes on Venezuelan narco boats, dismissing war crime allegations as baseless and detailing classified briefings that show cartel operatives actively attempting to recover narcotics and communicate with reinforcements. He outlines the Trump administration’s strategy to pressure Nicolás Maduro to leave power, dismantle drug labs, and destabilize terrorist networks without committing U.S. ground troops. Mullin also addresses the American beef industry crisis, explaining collapsing cattle prices, foreign-owned meat packer monopolies, and the looming threat of corporate consolidation. He calls for potential policy solutions, including price-fixing investigations, insurance backstops for ranchers, and reforms to protect domestic protein production. Isabel Brown: Make American Babies Again Buck welcomes Isabel Brown, host of The Isabel Brown Show, for an in-depth conversation about her fiery appearance on CNN’s Abby Phillip panel. Isabelle recounts the tense exchange surrounding the arrest of Brian Cole Jr., the alleged January 6th pipe bomber, and exposes the media’s double standard in excusing political violence when it aligns with left-wing narratives. She highlights how the discussion devolved into partisan spin, with CNN panelists obsessing over race and hypothetical pardons rather than addressing the gravity of planting pipe bombs near the RNC and DNC. Isabelle calls out the cultural hypocrisy where “everything is violence except actual violence,” underscoring the growing ideological divide in mainstream media. The conversation shifts to a deeply personal and cultural topic: the revival of the American family among Gen Z. Isabel shares her experience as a new mother and describes how parenthood has transformed her perspective, giving her a renewed sense of purpose. She and Buck explore the generational shift toward valuing marriage, faith, and family despite decades of anti-family messaging and declining fertility rates. They discuss how young Americans are rejecting toxic narratives, rediscovering traditional values, and even walking away from birth control and dating apps to pursue meaningful relationships. Isabel points to a spiritual awakening among Gen Z, coupled with a rejection of climate alarmism and corporate-driven isolation, as key drivers of this cultural renaissance. The segment also touches on lighter moments, including fashion trends like the return of baggy jeans and humorous observations about modern style.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Buck Sexton hosting solo while Clay attends the high-profile FIFA World Cup draw event in Washington, D.C., where President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. Buck shares live updates from the Kennedy Center, highlighting Trump’s remarks on global peace efforts, U.S. strength, and the historic scale of the upcoming World Cup hosted in North America. The hour’s lead news story centers on the arrest of the January 6th pipe bomber suspect, Brian Cole Jr., after nearly five years of investigation. Buck scrutinizes the FBI’s handling of the case, questioning why it languished under the Biden administration despite being one of the most serious threats tied to the Capitol riot. He plays clips from CNN’s Jake Tapper, who incorrectly described the suspect as a “white man,” and critiques media narratives that appear politically motivated. Buck also examines comments from former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Senator Mark Warner, contrasting their defense of investigative delays with the reality that new leadership under Cash Patel and Dan Bonino solved the case using existing evidence. The discussion underscores concerns about FBI priorities, political bias, and accountability. Buck further explores reports suggesting the suspect may have been motivated by anger over the 2020 election, while emphasizing the gravity of the crime—two live pipe bombs planted near the RNC and DNC headquarters. He argues that the case’s resolution challenges the dominant narrative of January 6th and raises questions about selective enforcement during the Biden era. In addition to breaking news, Buck previews upcoming interviews with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin on Venezuelan narco boat strikes and conservative commentator Isabelle Brown on her fiery CNN appearance. He also dives into the controversy surrounding alleged war crimes in U.S. military strikes against drug cartels, citing Senator Tom Cotton’s classified briefing remarks affirming the legality and necessity of the operations. Buck frames these strikes as part of a broader effort to dismantle cartel networks and restore U.S. military strength under the Trump administration.

The hour also covers breaking news on the January 6th pipe bomber case, as reports emerge that suspect Brian Cole Jr. questioned the 2020 election results. Buck warns listeners about media spin framing the suspect as a Trump supporter without full context, emphasizing how narratives are weaponized for political gain. He underscores the seriousness of the crime—live pipe bombs planted near the RNC and DNC—and promises continued coverage as more facts develop. Buck then interviews Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who provides critical insight into U.S. national security and economic policy. Mullin confirms the legality and necessity of recent military strikes on Venezuelan narco boats, dismissing war crime allegations as baseless and detailing classified briefings that show cartel operatives actively attempting to recover narcotics and communicate with reinforcements.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers explosive analysis of breaking news surrounding the arrest of the alleged January 6th pipe bomber, Brian Cole Jr., after a five-year investigation. Clay and Buck dissect the FBI press conference led by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel, highlighting the stunning revelation that no new evidence was needed—only renewed focus and leadership under the current administration. This raises critical questions about why the Biden-era DOJ and FBI deprioritized the case despite branding January 6th as the “darkest day since the Civil War.” The hosts argue that political motivations may have sidelined the investigation because the suspect reportedly has ties to Antifa, contradicting the long-standing narrative that the Capitol riot was solely driven by MAGA extremists. The hour features a detailed review of the criminal complaint and affidavit, which alleges Cole purchased bomb-making materials with his own credit cards and was tracked via cell phone data near the RNC and DNC on January 5th, 2021. Clay and Buck emphasize how these findings could reshape the January 6th narrative, undermining claims of a purely right-wing insurrection and exposing potential cover-ups within the prior FBI leadership. They also explore broader implications, including whether this case signals systemic bias in federal law enforcement and the possibility of additional charges or co-conspirators. Julie Kelly, one of the most prominent journalists covering January 6th, joins the show to provide expert insight. She calls the arrest a “massive scandal,” asserting that the FBI’s decision to shelve the investigation for years was deliberate and politically motivated. Kelly warns of significant legal ramifications, noting that exculpatory evidence was withheld from January 6th defendants while the DOJ pushed an insurrection narrative. The discussion also touches on Kamala Harris’s proximity to one of the pipe bombs, raising further questions about security lapses and media silence. Listeners weigh in with fiery talkbacks, reinforcing skepticism about the DOJ’s priorities and echoing frustration over selective enforcement. Clay and Julie conclude by examining the affidavit’s granular details—credit card purchases, cell tower pings, and surveillance footage—while stressing the need for transparency and accountability as this case unfolds.

Clay Travis & Buck Sexton dive into the aftermath of Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District special election, where Republican Matt Van Epps secured a decisive nine-point victory over Democrat Afton Bain. Clay and Buck break down why this off-calendar election mattered, emphasizing low turnout—roughly half of a typical congressional race—and how Democrats hoped to flip a Trump-leaning district but failed. The hosts credit grassroots awareness and strong support from President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson for the win, reinforcing a key takeaway: “Running with Trump is how you win.” Van Epps himself echoed this sentiment in his victory speech, signaling the GOP’s strategy heading into 2026. The discussion also explores voter behavior in special elections, contrasting Republican voters’ busy family lives with Democrats’ identity-driven activism. Clay shares personal insights on living in Williamson County, Tennessee, and why he refuses to support Davidson County after its COVID policies. Buck adds humor about avoiding a “communist dystopia” in Clay’s district, while callers from Alabama, Florida, and Michigan weigh in on the race’s significance and the broader political landscape, including battleground states like Michigan. Congressman Jim Jordan joins the show, he outlines the GOP’s legislative priorities before the 2026 campaign season kicks into high gear. Jordan emphasizes healthcare reform focused on choice and competition, rejecting expanded Obamacare subsidies, and highlights the need for tax cuts and regulatory reform to combat lingering inflation. He warns that despite progress under President Trump, prices remain painfully high for everyday Americans—a reality that could shape the 2026 midterm elections. Jordan also stresses the importance of passing a real budget, avoiding endless continuing resolutions, and protecting civil liberties during the upcoming FISA reauthorization, citing alarming revelations about government surveillance. Then the hosts tackle a major controversy in Minnesota—President Trump’s fiery remarks on the Somali fraud scandal, where scammers allegedly billed for 125 million fake meals under a child-feeding program, siphoning off billions in taxpayer funds. Clay and Buck dissect the cultural and political implications, questioning whether fear of appearing “xenophobic” allowed systemic fraud to flourish. They draw parallels to the UK’s grooming gang scandals and debate assimilation challenges, spotlighting cases where defendants cite Somali cultural norms as a defense in U.S. courts. This segment raises urgent questions about immigration policy, law enforcement, and cultural accountability.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed lineup of political analysis and breaking commentary. The hour opens with an exclusive interview with Congressman Jim Jordan, who outlines the GOP’s legislative priorities before the 2026 campaign season kicks into high gear. Jordan emphasizes healthcare reform focused on choice and competition, rejecting expanded Obamacare subsidies, and highlights the need for tax cuts and regulatory reform to combat lingering inflation. He warns that despite progress under President Trump, prices remain painfully high for everyday Americans—a reality that could shape the 2026 midterm elections. Jordan also stresses the importance of passing a real budget, avoiding endless continuing resolutions, and protecting civil liberties during the upcoming FISA reauthorization, citing alarming revelations about government surveillance. The conversation pivots to Democratic strategy and the fallout from the longest government shutdown, with Jordan predicting the left will double down on extreme policies, from open borders to gender ideology. Clay and Buck underscore the political stakes: losing the House could trigger another Trump impeachment and stall conservative reforms. Later in the hour, the hosts tackle a major controversy in Minnesota—President Trump’s fiery remarks on the Somali fraud scandal, where scammers allegedly billed for 125 million fake meals under a child-feeding program, siphoning off billions in taxpayer funds.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a victory lap over Matt Van Epps’ nine-point win in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, marking the final election of 2025 and setting the stage for the 2026 midterms. Clay and Buck analyze key takeaways: Democrats dominated blue states while Republicans held strong in red states, but the looming question remains—how will GOP turnout look without Trump on the ballot? The hosts highlight Trump’s achievements on border security and crime reduction, citing record deportations and plummeting violent crime rates in cities like Memphis and Washington, D.C., while predicting that affordability and inflation will define the next election cycle. The hour pivots to cultural and demographic trends, addressing fears that migration from blue states could “California” red states. Clay and Buck push back, citing data that COVID-era transplants to Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are making red states even redder, with Florida flipping from a Democrat registration advantage to a million-plus Republican lead. They mix in humor and generational slang, explaining terms like “Riz” and joking about “broccoli haircuts,” while engaging listeners on social platforms. In a major geopolitical segment, the hosts dissect reports that President Trump has given Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro until Friday to step down, amid rumors of back-channel negotiations and heightened U.S. military presence in the Caribbean. They debate whether regime change could stabilize Venezuela and curb illegal immigration, drawing historical parallels to Operation Just Cause and Noriega’s ouster in Panama. Caller reactions add depth, with strong opinions on U.S. intervention and its potential impact on Latin America. Hour 3 also features lively listener calls and VIP emails on topics ranging from urban liberal sprawl in places like Spokane to lifestyle debates over warm vs. cold climates. Clay shares personal anecdotes about skiing mishaps and why he prefers après-ski culture over hitting the slopes, while Buck critiques the unrealistic portrayal of Montana winters in the hit series Yellowstone.

The guys break down the escalating drug boat strikes in the Caribbean, a bold Trump administration initiative targeting narco-terrorist operations linked to Venezuela. The hosts analyze reports alleging a controversial “double-tap” strike on a vessel, sparking accusations of potential war crimes. They break down the legal and ethical implications under the Law of Armed Conflict, debate media narratives, and highlight Democrats’ efforts to use this story to politically damage Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Clay offers a lawyer’s perspective on whether follow-up strikes were lawful, while Buck compares this situation to past drone strike controversies under previous administrations. Adding to the tension, the show covers Trump’s ultimatum to Nicolás Maduro, giving the Venezuelan leader until Friday to vacate power or face possible U.S. action. The hosts weigh the pros and cons of regime change, its historical pitfalls, and its strategic significance given Venezuela’s vast oil reserves. They invite Venezuelan-American listeners to share their views on intervention and democracy restoration. Clay and Buck continue the deep dive into the Venezuelan drug boat strike controversy and the political firestorm surrounding Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The discussion kicks off with legal analysis on the phrase “finish them off”, clarifying whether it referred to destroying the boat or targeting survivors. Former Assistant Secretary of State and Navy intelligence officer Bobby Charles joins the conversation, offering expert insight into rules of engagement, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and historical precedents for counternarcotics operations. He asserts that the strikes were lawful under U.S. policy and international law, emphasizing that narco-terrorist boats are legitimate targets as designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations. They explore why the Trump administration’s communication strategy has faltered, allowing Democrats and media outlets like The Washington Post to frame the narrative as a potential war crime. Clay and Buck argue that clear messaging—supported by existing legal opinions—could neutralize the controversy and prevent political damage. They stress that the real story is deterrence: Trump’s aggressive maritime strategy aims to cripple cartel operations and reduce fentanyl trafficking, which kills over 100,000 Americans annually. Listeners weigh in with passionate calls, debating war crimes, rules of war, and presidential authority. Some callers defend Trump’s hardline approach, while others question the legality of targeting non-uniformed combatants. A retired Air Force colonel shares firsthand experience from the decades-long war on drugs, comparing current maritime strikes to past air interdiction missions. Another caller highlights the political motive behind the attacks on Hegseth, framing it as a deliberate effort by the left to delegitimize key Trump cabinet members. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed the September 2 strike on a narco-terrorist vessel, defending the decision to “eliminate the threat” and dismantle cartel operations responsible for flooding the U.S. with fentanyl. Hegseth blasted the Washington Post for publishing what he called “fake stories” about alleged kill orders, stressing the reality of the fog of war and reaffirming that commanders acted lawfully under the Law of Armed Conflict. Clay and Buck analyze the legal and strategic implications, warning that Democrats and the media are using this narrative to delegitimize Hegseth and weaken Trump’s foreign policy as part of a broader impeachment strategy. The discussion expands to Venezuela, raising questions about whether Maduro’s removal signals a deeper U.S. commitment to regime change and intervention. Clay and Buck emphasize Trump’s aggressive stance against narco-terrorists as a national security imperative, contrasting deterrence with appeasement. They argue that clear, consistent messaging from the administration could neutralize the controversy and prevent political fallout. Listener calls add fiery energy to the hour, with viral moments like Linda’s blunt declaration—“When in doubt, take ’em out”—sparking debate over rules of engagement and ethics in warfare. Other callers draw parallels to historic military actions, from the Bin Laden raid to naval confrontations with Iran, fueling a lively discussion on legality, morality, and public perception. Senator Marsha Blackburn joins the show to rally support for Republican candidate Matt Van Epps and warns against Democratic efforts to flip the seat. Blackburn addresses critical issues beyond the election, including Big Tech’s exploitation of children and her push for the Kids Online Safety Act, the fallout from Biden’s Afghan withdrawal and vetting failures, and explosive revelations about DOJ surveillance targeting eight GOP senators and conservative organizations. She details how subpoenas and secret monitoring violated constitutional protections, calling for accountability and disbarment of officials involved.

Clay and Buck detail the high-stakes special election in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, where Republican candidate Matt Van Epps faces a well-funded Democratic challenger. Clay urges voter turnout, warning that Democrats are “playing with house money” to flip a deep-red district for narrative momentum ahead of the midterms. President Trump’s endorsement of Van Epps is featured, along with an analysis of why Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is campaigning in Nashville. The discussion underscores how even one seat could impact the GOP’s razor-thin majority. Clay and Buck feature an exclusive interview featuring Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Republican candidate Matt Van Epps, who are campaigning across the district to ensure a GOP victory. Both stress the urgency of voter turnout, warning that Democrats are investing heavily to flip this deep-red seat and create a national narrative shift ahead of the midterms. President Trump’s endorsement and personal involvement underscore the race’s significance, as does Speaker Johnson’s presence on the ground. Van Epps details his platform and contrasts it sharply with his opponent, Afton Bain, citing her support for defunding police, abolishing prisons, transgender surgeries for minors without parental consent, and higher taxes to fund a socialist agenda. The discussion also highlights the district’s geography—spanning 14 counties from downtown Nashville to rural farming communities—and the cultural values Van Epps vows to defend. The hosts dissect a New York Times exposé on a billion-dollar fraud scheme involving Somali immigrants in Minnesota, raising questions about refugee resettlement, welfare abuse, and cultural assimilation. They argue for a merit-based immigration system that prioritizes highly skilled individuals over low-wage migrants, warning that America’s current policies import “cultural toxicity” and strain resources. Both hosts challenge the notion that “diversity is our strength,” advocating instead for shared Western values and a pause on mass immigration to protect national cohesion. They compare today’s immigration system to Ellis Island, noting how the welfare state has fundamentally changed incentives and created systemic abuse. The guys interview psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, author of Therapy Nation, who discusses the phenomenon of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Alpert explains how extreme political fixation has fractured families, impaired mental health, and created an epidemic of irrational fear and anger. He shares real-world examples of patients losing sleep, fleeing the country, and obsessing over Trump to the point of dysfunction. The discussion explores how social media echo chambers amplify these issues, why the mental health profession resists addressing them, and whether this obsessive behavior will persist beyond Trump’s presidency. Alpert warns that many individuals constantly seek new causes—whether BLM, anti-Israel protests, or other movements—to fill emotional voids, likening these cycles to “group therapy sessions that amount to nothing.”   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The hosts also discuss President Trump’s recent full-body MRI scan, which confirmed his strong health, and explore how advanced preventive medicine and AI-driven diagnostics are shaping the future of healthcare. The conversation then shifts to lifestyle trends, including the rise of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are transforming fitness, fashion, and even social behaviors.

From there, they tackle a troubling education report from the Wall Street Journal, revealing that only 39% of freshmen at UC San Diego could perform a basic rounding task, a third-grade math skill. The hosts argue that eliminating standardized tests like the SAT has fueled grade inflation and eroded academic standards, leaving students unprepared for STEM careers and threatening America’s meritocracy. They call for reinstating objective metrics to ensure top schools admit the most qualified students, regardless of background. A major highlight of Hour 3 is an in-depth interview with psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, author of Therapy Nation, who discusses the phenomenon of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

📍Rut breaks down three of the most explosive stories in America right now: 🇺🇦 The new 28-point peace plan for Ukraine — and why it could end the war immediately.⚠️ An Afghan refugee murders a National Guardsman in D.C. — and the growing danger inside U.S. borders.🗳️ Election corruption & electronic voting manipulation — evidence resurfacing from intelligence veterans who claim the 2020 election was compromised. Rut lays out the stakes clearly: if America loses election integrity, national sovereignty collapses. If peace talks break, nuclear escalation becomes possible. If immigration remains unvetted, violence rises at home. This isn’t fear. It’s reality — and ignoring it won’t make it go away.

This segues into a broader cultural debate on dating, marriage, and gender roles, as callers weigh in on why modern relationships feel fractured. Clay explores how technology, social media, and shifting expectations have created a “buffet culture” for men, questioning whether what’s marketed as female empowerment has inadvertently fulfilled decades-old male fantasies of commitment-free intimacy.   Listeners from across the country join the conversation, sharing perspectives on dating challenges, singlehood, and societal expectations. Clay humorously reflects on historical norms like shotgun weddings and contrasts them with today’s hookup culture, raising concerns about declining birth rates and long-term family stability.

Nashville is also seeing historic lows in violent crime, reinforcing Trump’s “law and order” success story.

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz:   Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Resignation Greene announced she will resign from Congress in January. This is a significant moment for the Republican Party, emphasizing internal accountability and contrasting it with perceived Democratic inaction on radical elements. Greene’s shift from pro-Trump to anti-Israel and anti-capitalist positions is highlighted as a cautionary tale. Donald Trump’s withdrawal of support is portrayed as the decisive factor in her resignation. Minnesota Welfare Fraud Funding Al-Shabaab A report claims Minnesota taxpayers indirectly funded the terrorist group Al-Shabaab through massive welfare fraud. Fraud involved members of the Somali community in Minnesota, exploiting Medicaid programs like Housing Stabilization Services. Billions of dollars were stolen, with millions allegedly routed to Somalia and ultimately to Al-Shabaab via informal money networks. The commentary criticizes Democratic leadership and media for ignoring the issue, framing it as both a security threat and a failure of governance. Texas Redistricting Battle Texas redrew its congressional map to add five Republican seats. A federal district court struck down the map, but Justice Alito issued a stay, keeping the new map in place for now. This decision could determine control of the House and contrasts Republican and Democratic gerrymandering practices. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

This segues into a broader cultural debate on dating, marriage, and gender roles, as callers weigh in on why modern relationships feel fractured.

Listeners also get an urgent update on a high-stakes congressional race in Tennessee’s 7th District, which Clay calls his home district.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into major breaking stories and hard-hitting analysis. Buck Sexton is solo hosting while Clay is away on a super secret trip overseas for a very important meeting, and he kicks off the hour with updates on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which is set for a vote during the program. Buck explains why Democrats are pushing this as a political distraction and emphasizes Donald Trump’s stance: full transparency and release of all Epstein-related documents. The discussion highlights Trump’s past actions, including banning Epstein from his club, and contrasts that with deep ties Epstein had to prominent Democrats like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers. Buck also addresses the media narrative and propaganda tactics, warning listeners about how focus and repetition are used to smear political opponents. He connects this to his upcoming book, Manufacturing Delusion, which explores the science and history of mind control, propaganda, and mass psychosis. Buck argues that Trump Derangement Syndrome has become a defining pathology of our time, citing expert commentary on how obsessive hatred of Trump has reached clinical levels. He draws parallels to authoritarian regimes and explains how manufactured hysteria threatens American democracy more than any external crisis. The hour also touches on national priorities overshadowed by political theater, including affordability, energy prices, border security, and the fight against fentanyl. Buck previews later segments featuring Miranda Devine’s explosive reporting on the would-be Trump assassin and Eric Trump’s insights on trade and the economy. He closes Hour 1 by reinforcing the importance of truth, transparency, and resisting mass delusion in today’s political climate.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers breaking news and in-depth analysis on major political and cultural stories. Buck Sexton leads the hour with an exclusive interview featuring Miranda Devine of the New York Post, who reveals shocking details about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin of President Donald Trump. Devine explains how Crooks’ online footprint—spanning platforms like YouTube, Gab, and DeviantArt—shows a disturbing evolution from pro-Trump rhetoric to violent anti-Trump threats, including assassination fantasies. She highlights Crooks’ use of aliases, his ties to extremist forums, and even gender identity confusion, noting his adoption of they/them pronouns and links to the “furry” subculture. Devine questions why the FBI and Secret Service failed to act despite clear warning signs, raising concerns about possible agency negligence or concealment. The conversation pivots to Hunter Biden, after audio surfaces of him launching personal attacks on Devine, calling her unethical and insulting her appearance. Buck and Miranda dissect Biden’s behavior, emphasizing his inability to refute documented evidence of corruption involving foreign business deals and influence-peddling during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. The segment underscores the Biden family scandal, Hunter’s legal immunity, and the media’s complicity in shielding Democrats from accountability. Buck then shifts focus to Donald Trump’s fiery Oval Office exchange with ABC News reporter Mary Bruce, who pressed him on Saudi business ties and the upcoming Epstein Files Transparency Act vote. Trump blasts ABC as “fake news,” defends his record, and reiterates that he expelled Jeffrey Epstein from his club years ago—contrasting that with Epstein’s deep ties to Bill Clinton and other Democratic elites. Trump frames the Epstein narrative as a “Democrat hoax” aimed at distracting from his administration’s economic successes, including historic reductions in inflation and energy costs. Buck reinforces this point with commentary from Stephen Miller, who credits Trump for restoring affordability and combating inflation. The hour closes with cultural commentary and listener talkbacks on tipping etiquette and dating advice, adding a relatable and lighthearted touch to the intense political discussion. Buck emphasizes generosity and confidence as keys to navigating everyday life.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show zeroes in on immigration policy, economic recovery, and breaking political news. Buck Sexton opens with a deep dive into illegal immigration under Biden, highlighting the estimated 10 million migrants who entered the U.S. during his presidency. Buck argues that this influx has strained housing, healthcare, and job markets, framing it as a massive economic and social burden on American taxpayers. He cites JD Vance’s remarks on housing affordability, explaining how unchecked immigration and limited housing supply have driven prices sky-high, especially in cities like New York where migrants occupy up to 25% of hotel rooms at taxpayer expense. The conversation expands to legal immigration reform, with Buck and Governor Ron DeSantis stressing the need for a critical reassessment of current policies. DeSantis warns against the assumption that all legal immigration is inherently good, urging a focus on assimilation and cultural cohesion. Buck uses a striking analogy—too much water can kill you—to illustrate how excessive immigration, even legal, can destabilize a nation. He calls for a pause to restore continuity and shared American identity. Buck welcomes Eric Trump for an in-depth interview on the economy and Trump administration policies. Eric touts his book Under Siege and outlines why he’s “bullish on America,” citing Trump’s aggressive energy strategy, including nuclear and drilling initiatives, as key drivers of GDP growth. He explains how low energy costs, bonus depreciation, historic tax cuts, and tariffs will fuel manufacturing, AI, crypto, and inward investment. Eric contrasts Trump’s economic record with Biden’s “four years of 10% inflation,” blaming Biden for skyrocketing housing and energy costs. He predicts a booming U.S. economy in 2026, bolstered by global investment and trade deals. The hour closes with lighter listener talkbacks on dating etiquette and pickup lines, followed by breaking news: the House passes the Epstein Files Transparency Act in a 427–1 vote, sending the bill to the Senate. Buck applauds the move for transparency, noting Trump’s support for full disclosure.

Socialism Summit Buck Sexton opens with a preview of the highly anticipated meeting between President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, scheduled for later in the day at the White House. Buck frames this as a “socialism summit,” highlighting the stark ideological divide between Trump’s America First agenda and Mamdani’s progressive platform, which includes rent freezes, free public transit, and universal childcare. Buck argues these policies mirror European-style democratic socialism and warns they will worsen affordability issues rather than solve them. The discussion expands to the broader Democratic Party’s shift toward socialism, noting the House’s recent bipartisan vote condemning the “horrors of socialism.” Buck contrasts Mamdani’s vision with the historical roots of New York City as a capitalist hub and explains why electing an open socialist in America’s largest city signals a troubling trend. He predicts Democrats will attempt to rebrand themselves as champions of the working class ahead of the midterms, focusing on affordability as the defining issue of the next election cycle. We Need to Talk About This Buck then pivots to a horrific crime in Chicago, where a woman was set on fire aboard a public transit train. He blasts Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s tepid response and systemic failures that allowed the suspect—who had 70-plus prior arrests and a violent criminal history—to remain free. Buck contrasts the muted media coverage of this attack with the wall-to-wall outrage over past hoaxes like Jussie Smollett, exposing the racial and ideological double standards in mainstream reporting. He argues progressive criminal justice policies and refusal to enforce accountability have made major cities unsafe, warning that similar outcomes could emerge under Momani’s leadership in New York. Mess Around and Find Out Buck dissects the fallout from a Democrat PSA video featuring lawmakers like Mark Kelly and Alyssa Slotkin, which urged military and intelligence personnel to refuse “illegal orders.” Buck argues the video was a veiled attempt to undermine President Trump’s authority as Commander-in-Chief, framing it as subversive and politically motivated. He highlights Trump’s fiery response on Truth Social, where Trump called the behavior “seditious” and noted that such acts are “punishable by death” under federal law—a statement that triggered outrage from Democrats and media figures like Chuck Schumer, who accused Trump of inciting violence. Buck counters these claims by pointing out the hypocrisy of Democrats, citing recent left-wing political violence, including assassination attempts on Trump and other conservatives. The discussion expands to Mark Kelly’s defense of the PSA, where he referenced Trump’s past comments about protestors, and Buck dismantles the narrative that Trump poses a unique threat. He emphasizes how Democrats weaponize Nazi comparisons to justify hostility toward conservatives, creating a dangerous climate that fuels real-world violence. Listener talkbacks and VIP emails echo frustration over the PSA, calling it divisive and near-treasonous, while Buck underscores that accountability is unlikely despite the cultural Marxist undertones. CIA Officer Mike Baker Former CIA Officer Mike Baker joins the show to discuss the escalating U.S. military presence in the Caribbean under Operation Southern Spear, the largest naval buildup since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Buck and Baker break down the strategic objectives behind recent strikes on narco-trafficking boats and explore whether this pressure campaign could lead to the collapse of Nicolás Maduro’s regime in Venezuela. They examine the geopolitical ripple effects, including potential consequences for Cuba, Russian and Chinese interests, and Iran’s involvement, while debating the risks and realities of regime change versus internal transition.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into explosive political controversy and cultural commentary.

Listener talkbacks and VIP emails echo frustration over the PSA, calling it divisive and near-treasonous, while Buck underscores that accountability is unlikely despite the cultural Marxist undertones. Midway through the hour, Buck pivots to a lighter but viral political story: Representative Jasmine Crockett’s blunder involving Jeffrey Epstein donations. Crockett mistakenly accused Republicans of taking money from Epstein without realizing the donor was a different Jeffrey Epstein—a respected doctor from Long Island. Buck shares the doctor’s humorous response and explores the broader theme of media gullibility and partisan theatrics. The hour closes with cultural commentary on civility and manners during holiday travel, featuring Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s PSA urging Americans to bring back the “golden age of travel” by showing courtesy on planes and in airports. Buck applauds the message, lamenting the decline of basic manners in public spaces and encouraging listeners to embrace kindness during the busy holiday season.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of national security analysis, cultural commentary, and political insights. The hour kicks off with former CIA Officer Mike Baker discussing the escalating U.S. military presence in the Caribbean under Operation Southern Spear, the largest naval buildup since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Buck and Baker break down the strategic objectives behind recent strikes on narco-trafficking boats and explore whether this pressure campaign could lead to the collapse of Nicolás Maduro’s regime in Venezuela. They examine the geopolitical ripple effects, including potential consequences for Cuba, Russian and Chinese interests, and Iran’s involvement, while debating the risks and realities of regime change versus internal transition. The conversation pivots to the war on drugs, with Buck revealing early-stage planning for U.S. special operations missions inside Mexico targeting drug cartels. He argues that Americans overwhelmingly support aggressive measures to combat fentanyl trafficking, citing the devastating societal impact of the opioid crisis. This segment underscores the growing likelihood of paramilitary operations and intelligence-driven missions aimed at dismantling cartel networks. Later, Buck welcomes Tudor Dixon, host of the Tudor Dixon Podcast, for a candid discussion on Michelle Obama’s controversial book tour and its “Shame America” tone. Dixon critiques Obama’s complaints about life as First Lady despite her immense wealth and influence, questioning whether her media blitz signals future political ambitions. The conversation then shifts to Gretchen Whitmer’s presidential aspirations, with Dixon revealing that Whitmer has raised millions and repurposed her campaign team for a potential 2028 run. Dixon predicts Whitmer will struggle in a national primary against polished contenders like Gavin Newsom, citing her poor off-the-cuff skills and lack of substantive achievements. The hour closes with cultural analysis on shifting social norms, including a Pew Research study showing declining interest in marriage among young women. Dixon attributes this trend to pop culture messaging that glorifies independence, while Buck highlights backlash against Taylor Swift’s “trad wife” moment, where fans accused her of racism for expressing a desire for children resembling her partner. Buck argues that promoting family formation should not be politicized and warns of the cultural consequences of stigmatizing traditional values.

Texas Declares Muslim Brotherhood & CAIR as Terrorist Organizations Action Taken: Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. Implications: These groups are now prohibited from acquiring real property in Texas. Governor’s Statement: Abbott cited their alleged goals of imposing Sharia law and supporting terrorism globally. Background: CAIR is described as a domestic organization linked to Hamas and implicated in supporting terrorism. The Muslim Brotherhood is portrayed as an umbrella group with affiliates like Hamas.

Mamdanism President Trump will meet New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House, a high-profile sit-down that underscores deep ideological divides. Buck analyzes Mamdani’s progressive agenda, including proposals for rent freezes, free public buses, and universal childcare, arguing these policies mirror failed socialist experiments and will worsen housing scarcity in New York City. He explains how government intervention in markets—such as rent control—creates artificial constraints that drive up costs and reduce housing availability, citing economic principles from Hayek’s Road to Serfdom. Buck warns that Mamdani’s tax-hike plans targeting corporations and high earners will further destabilize the city’s economy. FL Gov. Ron DeSantis Buck welcomes FL Governor Ron DeSantis for an in-depth discussion on Florida’s bold proposal to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties. DeSantis explains the economic rationale: skyrocketing property valuations are squeezing young families, while local governments have ballooned budgets from $32 billion in 2019 to $56 billion today. He argues that cutting homestead property taxes would protect true homeownership, reduce market distortions, and leverage Florida’s unique tax base, which relies heavily on non-resident property owners. DeSantis outlines plans for a 2026 ballot initiative, addresses concerns about special interests, and contrasts Florida’s lean, results-driven governance with New York’s bloated spending under progressive leadership. The conversation also touches on New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, warning that policies like rent freezes and anti-police measures will accelerate urban decline. WI Sen. Ron Johnson Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who discusses alarming revelations about the FBI’s handling of the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt on President Trump. Johnson suggests the Bureau may have withheld critical information about Crooks’ online activity, including radicalization indicators, and criticizes the lack of transparency despite bipartisan efforts to investigate. He confirms his committee is pursuing independent inquiries and warns that more details will surface. The conversation shifts to the Epstein Transparency Act, which passed Congress with near-unanimous support. Johnson explains why the Senate fast-tracked the measure and outlines concerns about protecting victims while ensuring public disclosure. He predicts the DOJ will release files within 30 days of Trump’s signature, though some material may remain withheld for legal reasons. Buck and Johnson agree this rare bipartisan moment reflects overwhelming public demand for accountability in the Epstein case. Johnson also tackles FBI abuses under “Operation Arctic Frost,” describing it as a partisan dragnet targeting Trump allies, Republican groups, and even ordinary citizens in Wisconsin. He calls for full exposure of communications between Biden officials and outside legal operatives, framing the probe as an attempt to criminalize lawful political activity. The senator further advocates ending the Senate filibuster, aligning with Trump’s position to secure election integrity, repair Obamacare’s failures, and advance conservative reforms. Bye, Bye, Dept. of Ed? Buck analyzes Karoline Leavitt’s fiery White House briefing, where she announced a major step toward dismantling the Department of Education. Leavitt detailed plans to redistribute its functions across other agencies, moving toward Trump’s campaign promise to return education control to states and eliminate federal overreach. Buck applauds the move, arguing the Department has long served as a progressive policy arm rather than an educational necessity. The show also previews Trump’s upcoming meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, which Levitt characterized as a stark contrast between Trump’s pragmatic leadership and Mamdani’s far-left agenda. Buck predicts fireworks from the meeting and critiques Mamdani’s socialist proposals, including rent freezes and free public transit, as disastrous for New York’s economy.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with major political developments and sharp commentary on urban policy and government accountability. Buck Sexton opens by previewing upcoming interviews with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Ron Johnson, setting the stage for discussions on FBI transparency and national security concerns following revelations about the Crooks assassination attempt on President Trump. The hour dives into breaking news: President Trump will meet New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House, a high-profile sit-down that underscores deep ideological divides. Buck analyzes Mamdani’s progressive agenda, including proposals for rent freezes, free public buses, and universal childcare, arguing these policies mirror failed socialist experiments and will worsen housing scarcity in New York City. He explains how government intervention in markets—such as rent control—creates artificial constraints that drive up costs and reduce housing availability, citing economic principles from Hayek’s Road to Serfdom. Buck warns that Mamdani’s tax-hike plans targeting corporations and high earners will further destabilize the city’s economy. In a lighter but viral moment, Buck highlights Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett’s congressional blunder, where she falsely linked prominent Republicans to Jeffrey Epstein donations—only to discover the contributions came from an unrelated individual with the same name. Buck uses this to illustrate the recklessness and shamelessness dominating Democratic politics, contrasting it with the GOP’s push for transparency in the Epstein files release, which remains a hot-button issue as the DOJ faces a 30-day deadline to disclose documents.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a fiery mix of political analysis and policy debate, starting with a controversial Democrat PSA urging military personnel to refuse “illegal orders.” Buck Sexton calls out the vagueness and subversive tone of the message, questioning what specific unlawful orders lawmakers like Mark Kelly, Jason Crow, and Elise Slotkin are referencing. He argues this campaign is rooted in Trump Derangement Syndrome, framing it as an attempt to undermine the Commander-in-Chief and sow distrust within the armed forces. Buck highlights sharp reactions from Martha MacCallum, Marsha Blackburn, and Stephen Miller, who labeled the PSA as “insurrection” and a dangerous precedent.  The segment underscores how Democrats selectively invoke constitutional principles for political gain, contrasting their silence during Obama-era drone strikes with their current rhetoric.  The hour then pivots to Nancy Pelosi’s inflammatory remarks, where she called Trump “the worst thing on the face of the earth.” Buck critiques the emotional extremism dominating Democratic leadership and its corrosive effect on political discourse, noting Pelosi’s outsized influence on 21st-century politics.   In the second half, Buck welcomes Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for an in-depth discussion on Florida’s bold proposal to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties. DeSantis explains the economic rationale: skyrocketing property valuations are squeezing young families, while local governments have ballooned budgets from $32 billion in 2019 to $56 billion today. He argues that cutting homestead property taxes would protect true homeownership, reduce market distortions, and leverage Florida’s unique tax base, which relies heavily on non-resident property owners. DeSantis outlines plans for a 2026 ballot initiative, addresses concerns about special interests, and contrasts Florida’s lean, results-driven governance with New York’s bloated spending under progressive leadership. The conversation also touches on New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Momani’s agenda, warning that policies like rent freezes and anti-police measures will accelerate urban decline. The hour closes with listener reactions, including veterans condemning the PSA as “seditious” and reaffirming their commitment to constitutional duty. Buck emphasizes the absurdity of politicizing military obedience and previews upcoming discussions on FBI reform and the Epstein file release.

The hour opens with Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who discusses alarming revelations about the FBI’s handling of the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt on President Trump. Johnson suggests the Bureau may have withheld critical information about Crooks’ online activity, including radicalization indicators, and criticizes the lack of transparency despite bipartisan efforts to investigate. He confirms his committee is pursuing independent inquiries and warns that more details will surface.

Follow the Epstein Money The Epstein Transparency Act, which passed unanimously in the Senate after near-unanimous House approval. Buck breaks down what this means: once President Trump signs the bill, the Justice Department will have 30 days to release Jeffrey Epstein-related files. The discussion explores whether these disclosures will provide real answers or lead to further demands for transparency. Buck emphasizes the unanswered question of Epstein’s billion-dollar fortune and the suspicious financial transactions flagged by JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank. He argues that following the money is key to uncovering the truth.

The hour opens with Buck Sexton previewing Clay’s surprise international trip, which turns out to be a headline-making visit to Rome where Clay met Pope Francis at the Vatican. Clay shares details of his mission: delivering an invitation for the Pope to throw out the first pitch at a future Chicago White Sox game, a unique gesture tied to the team’s new ownership and stadium plans. This segment blends sports, faith, and global intrigue, making it a must-hear for fans of both baseball and world affairs.

Buck emphasizes the unanswered question of Epstein’s billion-dollar fortune and the suspicious financial transactions flagged by JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank. He argues that following the money is key to uncovering the truth.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a deep dive into two major stories dominating headlines: Trump’s high-stakes diplomacy with Saudi Arabia and the escalating immigration enforcement battle in North Carolina. Buck Sexton kicks off the hour by revisiting the upcoming release of the Epstein Transparency Act files, warning listeners that even with President Trump’s signature, questions about redactions and completeness will linger. He predicts this will mirror historic controversies like the JFK assassination files—fueling skepticism and demands for more transparency. The conversation then shifts to Trump’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, highlighting a landmark announcement: Saudi Arabia will invest $1 trillion in the United States, up from a previous $600 billion commitment. Buck explains why this matters for American jobs, technology, and energy security. He underscores Saudi Arabia’s strategic role as a bulwark against Iran and its potential normalization with Israel—a move that could reshape Middle East geopolitics. Trump’s agreements with the Saudis span civil nuclear energy, critical minerals, and artificial intelligence, signaling a major boost for U.S. innovation and manufacturing. Buck also defends Trump’s pragmatic approach to foreign policy, contrasting it with Democratic hypocrisy on human rights and global engagement. Next, Buck covers Trump’s remarks on tariffs and economic policy, including plans for a $2,000 dividend to low- and middle-income Americans and aggressive debt reduction. He blasts mainstream media for fixating on Jamal Khashoggi and 9/11 during the Saudi meeting instead of acknowledging the economic benefits of Trump’s diplomacy. In the second half of the hour, Buck welcomes Michael Whatley, former RNC Chair and current candidate for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. Whatley details the fallout from Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of legislation requiring sheriffs to honor ICE detainers, which has led to a surge in illegal immigration and crime. They discuss shocking statistics, including 21,000 students absent from Charlotte schools in one day due to immigration enforcement fears, and over 200 arrests of criminal illegal aliens in recent ICE operations.

He predicts the North Carolina Senate race will be the most expensive in U.S. history, with Democrats pouring in hundreds of millions to flip the seat. The hour closes with listener talkbacks on the Epstein file release and speculation about fallout for celebrities and politicians linked to Epstein’s network. Buck reminds listeners that expectations of bombshell revelations may be unrealistic, drawing parallels to the overhyped Trump tax return saga.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of breaking political analysis and cultural commentary. Buck opens with the latest on the Epstein Transparency Act, warning listeners that even after President Trump signs the bill and the DOJ releases files within 30 days, Democrats will weaponize the process. He predicts endless claims of tampering and incomplete disclosures, despite the fact that victim testimony has never implicated Trump. Buck cites comments from CNN and Democrat lawmakers, highlighting their strategy to link Trump to Epstein regardless of evidence. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reinforces that leaked narratives are politically motivated and reminds listeners that Trump was consistently cleared in victim statements. The conversation shifts to FBI credibility and intelligence reform, sparked by revelations about the would-be Trump assassin and parallels to the Nashville school shooter manifesto cover-up. Buck argues that federal agencies have lost public trust and explores whether efforts by leaders like Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel can restore integrity. He also discusses Trump’s push to eliminate the Senate filibuster, framing it as essential for advancing election integrity measures, voter ID laws, and ending universal mail-in ballots. Buck warns Republicans to act before Democrats seize the advantage, emphasizing the stakes for future elections. In the second half of the hour, Buck dives into a Pew Research study on marriage trends among Gen Z, revealing that only 61% of 12th-grade girls want to marry compared to 74% of boys. He critiques cultural messaging that promotes “boss babe” ideology and hookup culture, arguing it misleads young women and undermines long-term happiness. Buck contrasts this with a resurgence of traditional values among young men, who increasingly reject toxic masculinity narratives and embrace leadership, family, and faith.

An Exercise in Media Propaganda Buck Sexton is solo hosting while Clay is away on a super secret trip overseas for a very important meeting, and he kicks off the hour with updates on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which is set for a vote during the program. Buck explains why Democrats are pushing this as a political distraction and emphasizes Donald Trump’s stance: full transparency and release of all Epstein-related documents. The discussion highlights Trump’s past actions, including banning Epstein from his club, and contrasts that with deep ties Epstein had to prominent Democrats like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers. Buck also addresses the media narrative and propaganda tactics, warning listeners about how focus and repetition are used to smear political opponents. He connects this to his upcoming book, Manufacturing Delusion, which explores the science and history of mind control, propaganda, and mass psychosis. Buck argues that Trump Derangement Syndrome has become a defining pathology of our time, citing expert commentary on how obsessive hatred of Trump has reached clinical levels. He draws parallels to authoritarian regimes and explains how manufactured hysteria threatens American democracy more than any external crisis. Miranda Devine Blockbuster An exclusive interview featuring Miranda Devine of the New York Post, who reveals shocking details about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin of President Donald Trump. Devine explains how Crooks’ online footprint—spanning platforms like YouTube, Gab, and DeviantArt—shows a disturbing evolution from pro-Trump rhetoric to violent anti-Trump threats, including assassination fantasies. She highlights Crooks’ use of aliases, his ties to extremist forums, and even gender identity confusion, noting his adoption of they/them pronouns and links to the “furry” subculture. Devine questions why the FBI and Secret Service failed to act despite clear warning signs, raising concerns about possible agency negligence or concealment. The conversation pivots to Hunter Biden, after audio surfaces of him launching personal attacks on Devine, calling her unethical and insulting her appearance. Buck and Miranda dissect Biden’s behavior, emphasizing his inability to refute documented evidence of corruption involving foreign business deals and influence-peddling during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. The segment underscores the Biden family scandal, Hunter’s legal immunity, and the media’s complicity in shielding Democrats from accountability. Government Theft Adeep dive into illegal immigration under Biden, highlighting the estimated 10 million migrants who entered the U.S. during his presidency. Buck argues that this influx has strained housing, healthcare, and job markets, framing it as a massive economic and social burden on American taxpayers. He cites JD Vance’s remarks on housing affordability, explaining how unchecked immigration and limited housing supply have driven prices sky-high, especially in cities like New York where migrants occupy up to 25% of hotel rooms at taxpayer expense. The conversation expands to legal immigration reform, with Buck and Governor Ron DeSantis stressing the need for a critical reassessment of current policies. DeSantis warns against the assumption that all legal immigration is inherently good, urging a focus on assimilation and cultural cohesion. Buck uses a striking analogy—too much water can kill you—to illustrate how excessive immigration, even legal, can destabilize a nation. He calls for a pause to restore continuity and shared American identity. Eric Trump Joins the Show Buck welcomes Eric Trump for an in-depth interview on the economy and Trump administration policies. Eric touts his book Under Siege and outlines why he’s “bullish on America,” citing Trump’s aggressive energy strategy, including nuclear and drilling initiatives, as key drivers of GDP growth. He explains how low energy costs, bonus depreciation, historic tax cuts, and tariffs will fuel manufacturing, AI, crypto, and inward investment. Eric contrasts Trump’s economic record with Biden’s “four years of 10% inflation,” blaming Biden for skyrocketing housing and energy costs. He predicts a booming U.S. economy in 2026, bolstered by global investment and trade deals.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers breaking news and in-depth analysis on major political and cultural stories. Buck Sexton leads the hour with an exclusive interview featuring Miranda Devine of the New York Post, who reveals shocking details about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin of President Donald Trump. Devine explains how Crooks’ online footprint—spanning platforms like YouTube, Gab, and DeviantArt—shows a disturbing evolution from pro-Trump rhetoric to violent anti-Trump threats, including assassination fantasies.

The segment underscores the Biden family scandal, Hunter’s legal immunity, and the media’s complicity in shielding Democrats from accountability. Buck then shifts focus to Donald Trump’s fiery Oval Office exchange with ABC News reporter Mary Bruce, who pressed him on Saudi business ties and the upcoming Epstein Files Transparency Act vote. Trump blasts ABC as “fake news,” defends his record, and reiterates that he expelled Jeffrey Epstein from his club years ago—contrasting that with Epstein’s deep ties to Bill Clinton and other Democratic elites. Trump frames the Epstein narrative as a “Democrat hoax” aimed at distracting from his administration’s economic successes, including historic reductions in inflation and energy costs. Buck reinforces this point with commentary from Stephen Miller, who credits Trump for restoring affordability and combating inflation. The hour closes with cultural commentary and listener talkbacks on tipping etiquette and dating advice, adding a relatable and lighthearted touch to the intense political discussion. Buck emphasizes generosity and confidence as keys to navigating everyday life.

Trantifa Explosive revelations surrounding the would-be Trump assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, exposing shocking details that contradict the official narrative. Clay and Buck break down newly uncovered evidence from Tucker Carlson and Miranda Devine showing the suspect’s extremist ideology, violent threats posted openly on YouTube, and ties to radical left-wing movements like Antifa and trans activism. The hosts question why federal authorities failed to identify these clear warning signs, raising concerns about FBI competence—or possible cover-ups—when politically motivated violence targets conservatives. The discussion expands to a broader pattern of domestic extremism, citing recent high-profile attacks linked to radical ideologies, including the Charlie Kirk assassination, the Covington school shooting, and the Minneapolis church attack. Clay and Buck argue these incidents reveal a growing national security threat fueled by far-left narratives and identity politics, while mainstream media and Democrats downplay the danger. The show then pivots to breaking political news: Paul Finebaum, ESPN and SEC Network personality, signals serious interest in running for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. In an exclusive conversation, Finebaum explains what inspired him—citing the assassination of Charlie Kirk and a desire to unite Christians and Jews against rising cultural division. He outlines priorities like strengthening the economy, restoring trust in leadership, and addressing issues in college athletics. Clay and Buck weigh in on his chances, predicting a potential landslide if he enters the race. Narco-Terrorism An in-depth discussion on the Pentagon’s escalating war on drug cartels, featuring an exclusive interview with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin. The Senator details the impact of 21 U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan narco-terrorist boats, explaining how these operations have disrupted fentanyl and cocaine supply chains, driven up street prices, and targeted cartel networks inside U.S. cities. He emphasizes the administration’s aggressive approach, including designating cartels as terrorist organizations and deploying DHS and DOT to dismantle distribution lines nationwide. The conversation pivots to the Butler, Pennsylvania Trump assassination attempt revelations, where Clay and Buck press Senator Mullin on reports from Tucker Carlson and Miranda Devine alleging the shooter’s radicalization and violent online threats. Mullin voices skepticism about media-driven theories, stressing reliance on verified intelligence over speculation, while acknowledging the seriousness of politically motivated violence. Next, the show dives into Rand Paul’s criticism of the legality of cartel strikes, prompting a fiery response from Senator Mullin, who defends the President’s constitutional authority and calls out Paul’s libertarian leanings. The segment also touches on college football culture as Mullen recounts attending the Alabama-Oklahoma game and reacts to news that Paul Finebaum may run for Senate in Alabama, praising citizens who step up for public service. The Epstein Deflection Analysis of President Trump’s call to release all Epstein files, ahead of a major congressional vote. Clay and Buck argue that Democrats are using the Epstein story as a distraction from their failed government shutdown strategy, while Trump’s transparency stance undercuts partisan attacks. They note that if damaging evidence existed, it would have surfaced during Trump’s multiple indictments, reinforcing the narrative that this is political theater. The conversation then revisits the Butler, Pennsylvania Trump assassination attempt revelations, spotlighting reports from Miranda Devine and Tucker Carlson that the shooter posted violent threats under his real name and embraced radical left-wing ideology, including trans activism. Clay and Buck question why the FBI missed these signals and explore whether online interactions further radicalized the suspect, framing this as a growing national security concern tied to extremist rhetoric amplified by Democrats. Next, the hosts tackle the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, dissecting Trump’s response defending Tucker’s right to choose his guests and rejecting calls for censorship. They highlight Carlson’s striking comments to The New York Times about the GOP’s growing hostility to free speech, warning against speech policing within conservative ranks.

📍Captain Andrew Parks — Bronze Star recipient and Marine Corps officer — joins David Rutherford to break down what truly builds warriors, leaders, and resilient men.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political fallout from the recently ended government shutdown, framing it as a strategic misfire by Democrats. The hosts argue that the shutdown was a cynical attempt to secure election gains and force permanent funding for temporary Obamacare subsidies, originally enacted during the COVID-era American Rescue Plan. They highlight commentary from Steven Miller and Hakeem Jeffries, dissecting the partisan blame game over healthcare costs and the broader implications for the 2026 elections. The episode features a comprehensive critique of the U.S. healthcare system, emphasizing the broken nature of insurance markets, the inflationary impact of government subsidies, and the lack of consumer choice. Clay and Buck explore how Obamacare has failed to deliver affordability, instead enriching insurance companies and burdening younger Americans. They discuss the economic strain caused by aging demographics and the overuse of medical procedures driven by litigation fears. The hosts also spotlight GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy as potential game-changers in reducing obesity-related healthcare costs, advocating for government subsidies to expand access. In a media analysis segment, the show examines the timing of renewed Epstein-related stories, suggesting they are a deliberate distraction orchestrated by Democrats and legacy media to shift attention away from the shutdown debacle and smear Donald Trump. Clay and Buck reject the narrative, calling it baseless and politically motivated. Additional topics include the inefficiencies of medical bureaucracy, the potential for AI to streamline healthcare paperwork, and the need for Republicans—especially Trump—to present clear healthcare reform plans ahead of the midterms. The hour wraps with lighter commentary on the phasing out of the penny, sparking a humorous debate on the future of physical currency and digital tracking.

TDS is Real Clay and Buck talk about new trade deals struck by President Donald Trump with Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Argentina, aimed at lowering tariffs on key goods like beef and coffee. They highlight how these agreements reflect the administration’s focus on economic growth and affordability, especially as inflation continues to impact everyday Americans. The conversation pivots to the political ramifications of what they label the “Schumer Shutdown,” with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivering a scathing critique of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party. Clay and Buck argue that the shutdown was a strategic failure for Democrats, causing unnecessary pain for American families and military personnel while yielding no policy victories. Vice President JD Vance is praised for his leadership and messaging, particularly his criticism of Democrats for prolonging the shutdown despite having previously agreed to the same spending deal. Clay and Buck explore the broader psychological and cultural impact of what they call “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” referencing a Wall Street Journal article and Buck’s upcoming book, Manufacturing Delusion. They argue that political hysteria, media manipulation, and identity politics have created a climate of irrationality, particularly among left-leaning voters. This leads to a discussion of fabricated racial incidents in sports, including the Bubba Wallace noose story and LeBron James’ unsubstantiated vandalism claim, which they say reflect a pattern of media-driven mass delusion. Things That Make Us Go Hmmm... deep dive into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, the California gubernatorial race, and the broader failures of Democrat-led governance. The hour opens with President Donald Trump’s explosive post on Truth Social, calling for a federal investigation into Epstein’s financial ties with prominent Democrats including Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and institutions like JP Morgan Chase. Clay and Buck argue that renewed focus on Epstein is a strategic distraction by Democrats to deflect from the political damage caused by the recent government shutdown. They assert that if Trump had any real connection to Epstein’s crimes, Democrats would have weaponized it years ago during their aggressive legal campaigns against him. The hosts explore the mystery surrounding Epstein’s wealth, questioning how someone with no major business ventures or hedge fund credentials could amass hundreds of millions of dollars. They highlight suspicious wire transfers, unexplained real estate gifts, and the lack of transparency from major banks. Buck shares insights from XAI search results, noting that no definitive public explanation exists for Epstein’s financial empire, which raises serious questions about institutional accountability and political protection. Steve Hilton for CA Gov! Interview with Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton. Hilton criticizes Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for their failure to rebuild homes destroyed in wildfires nearly a year ago. He describes a bureaucratic nightmare where residents are trapped in a loop between insurance companies and permitting offices, despite public promises of streamlined recovery. Hilton also slams California’s water mismanagement, accusing state leaders of wasting valuable rainwater to protect the delta smelt instead of supporting agriculture in the Central Valley. Hilton outlines his campaign platform, which includes $3 gas, cutting electric bills in half, eliminating state income tax on the first $100,000 of income, and ending abusive litigation practices that target small businesses. He explains how California’s Private Attorney General Act has enabled trial lawyers to file extortionate lawsuits, costing businesses millions annually. Hilton promises to appoint reform-minded officials to dismantle these systems without needing legislative approval. The interview also touches on the political climate in San Francisco and San Jose, where pragmatic Democrat mayors are beginning to reject far-left policies. Hilton argues that California’s one-party rule has led to systemic failure across education, affordability, and public safety, and calls for balanced governance. He shares his experience as a senior advisor in the UK government and emphasizes his readiness to implement executive reforms from day one. Be Open to Being Wrong A major announcement from the U.S. State Department designating several European Antifa factions as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), including groups based in Germany, Italy, and Greece. Buck Sexton explains the legal and financial implications of this designation, emphasizing the shift in how the U.S. government can now respond to anarchist violence abroad. The hosts contrast this move with past dismissals of Antifa as merely an “idea,” calling out the Biden administration’s previous downplaying of left-wing extremism. The conversation transitions into a broader cultural critique, sparked by Senator John Fetterman’s candid remarks about the cruelty he’s experienced from the political left. Fetterman reveals that online leftist communities have wished death upon him and mocked his stroke and depression, prompting Clay and Buck to explore the toxic nature of political discourse in the social media era. They argue that the left’s self-righteousness often fuels dehumanizing behavior, and they commend Fetterman for speaking out against the cruelty—even as they maintain political disagreements with him. The hosts also reflect on Fetterman’s mental health struggles, including his admission that he contemplated suicide the day after winning his Senate race. They use this moment to advocate for mental health awareness, especially among veterans, and praise the veteran community for helping to destigmatize seeking help.

Clay and Buck also analyze the economic landscape heading into the 2026 midterms, emphasizing that while markets are rebounding, many Americans still feel the pinch of high prices. They argue that affordability and kitchen-table issues will dominate the political conversation, and that the Trump administration must focus more on domestic concerns to maintain voter support. The hosts share personal anecdotes about skyrocketing grocery prices, including an $8 gallon of milk, and compare the current inflationary cycle to the economic struggles of the Jimmy Carter era. The hour closes with speculation about the 2028 presidential race, including the potential candidacy of Gavin Newsom and Jasmine Crockett.

Open for Business! President Donald Trump officially signed legislation reopening the federal government after a 43-day shutdown. The segment opens with audio from Trump at the Resolute Desk, where he criticizes Democrats for what he calls an attempted “extortion” of American taxpayers to fund benefits for illegal immigrants. Clay and Buck analyze the political fallout, questioning whether Democrats will repeat shutdown tactics in 2026 as part of their midterm election strategy.  The conversation transitions into a broader discussion on Senate filibuster reform, with Clay advocating for procedural changes to prevent future shutdowns driven by minority party obstruction. Buck adds historical context, referencing past filibuster modifications and the potential consequences of further rule changes.  Uncle Bill: All for Nothing A wide-ranging interview with bestselling author and media veteran Bill O’Reilly. Clay and Buck do a deep dive into the political fallout from the recent government shutdown, which O’Reilly attributes to far-left consultants steering the Democratic Party into a failed strategy aimed at making pandemic-era Obamacare spending permanent. He argues that the shutdown hurt millions of Americans and yielded no real gains for Democrats, who now risk being branded as the “mean party” heading into the 2026 midterms. The hosts and O’Reilly also discuss the resurfacing of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which they believe was used as a distraction from Democratic missteps. The conversation shifts to the 2028 presidential race, where Clay and Buck predict Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the likely Democratic ticket. O’Reilly disagrees, citing Newsom’s poor record in California, including mass outmigration and corruption scandals, and suggests Maryland Governor Wes Moore as a more viable alternative. The trio also debate the dangers of artificial intelligence in politics and media, highlighting the rise of deepfake videos and AI-generated misinformation. O’Reilly references a false image involving President Donald Trump that was cited by Rep. Melanie Stansberry, warning that AI will make it increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from fiction.

Buck provides data indicating that over 750,000 H-1B visa holders are currently working in the U.S., with India accounting for 75% of recent recipients. Clay and Buck debate whether the program is being abused by corporations to undercut American wages and bypass domestic hiring. Buck clarifies that Trump’s comments about lacking domestic talent were aimed at highly specialized roles, such as semiconductor manufacturing, where foreign expertise is temporarily needed. Multiple callers share firsthand experiences with H-1B hires, sparking a robust debate. A computer programmer from California claims foreign workers were paid less despite equal performance. A North Carolina business owner defends the program, citing higher productivity among foreign hires. An engineering manager warns of wage suppression and offshoring trends, while another caller shares how his son’s defense contractor job was outsourced to foreign engineers despite national security concerns. Female Mamdani? Clay and Buck dive into some breaking news, cultural commentary, and audience-driven debate, beginning with reports of a violent incident involving Alina Habba, a U.S. attorney in New Jersey, whose office was attacked by a bat-wielding suspect. Clay and Buck highlight the growing concern over left-wing violence and express relief that Habba is unharmed. They also cover Senator John Fetterman’s hospitalization following a fall caused by a ventricular fibrillation episode, noting his humorous response and drawing parallels to historical political wit. The hour transitions into a critique of Michelle Obama’s recent comments on race and beauty, with Clay and Buck arguing that identity politics are eroding public discourse. They dissect her career trajectory, including her high-paying diversity role at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and question the merit of such positions. This leads into a broader discussion about the Democratic Party’s push for government-run grocery stores, citing examples from Seattle and New York City. Clay and Buck mock the idea as reminiscent of failed socialist models like Cuba, and reference studies—including one from The New York Times—showing that increased access to healthy food does not necessarily change consumer behavior in low-income communities. Clay and Buck argue that food deserts are often misrepresented and that consumer choice, not corporate abandonment, drives product availability. They emphasize the inefficiency of government-run enterprises, citing failed experiments in cities like Kansas City, and warn against policies that ignore market realities. The conversation includes a call from a listener in Rochester, New York, who explains that theft and crime—not lack of demand—are driving grocery stores out of urban areas. The hosts agree, noting that store closures also eliminate local jobs and further destabilize communities.

In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts react to the breaking news that President Donald Trump officially signed legislation reopening the federal government after a 43-day shutdown. The segment opens with audio from Trump at the Resolute Desk, where he criticizes Democrats for what he calls an attempted “extortion” of American taxpayers to fund benefits for illegal immigrants. Clay and Buck analyze the political fallout, questioning whether Democrats will repeat shutdown tactics in 2026 as part of their midterm election strategy. The conversation transitions into a broader discussion on Senate filibuster reform, with Clay advocating for procedural changes to prevent future shutdowns driven by minority party obstruction. Buck adds historical context, referencing past filibuster modifications and the potential consequences of further rule changes. A major portion of Hour 1 is dedicated to a deep dive into the H-1B visa program, sparked by a contentious exchange between Laura Ingraham and President Trump. Trump defends the need for foreign talent in specialized industries, while Ingraham argues that American workers should be prioritized. Buck provides data indicating that over 750,000 H-1B visa holders are currently working in the U.S., with India accounting for 75% of recent recipients. The hosts debate whether the program is being abused by corporations to undercut American wages and bypass domestic hiring. Listeners call in to share firsthand experiences with H-1B hires, including a small business owner who sponsored highly skilled engineers from Kenya and Turkey. The hosts explore the implications of these stories, questioning whether the American education system is failing to produce enough qualified professionals in STEM fields. Clay highlights the disconnect between elite academic institutions and workforce needs, citing the prevalence of liberal arts degrees over technical expertise. The hour also touches on the impact of artificial intelligence on the future of skilled labor, suggesting that many H-1B jobs may be eliminated as AI advances. Buck warns that the “learn to code” mantra may soon be obsolete, as coding becomes increasingly automated. Additional topics include the economic burden of illegal immigration, the misuse of public assistance by non-citizens, and the broader affordability crisis facing American families. The hosts argue that immigration policy must prioritize merit and self-sufficiency, aligning with Trump’s broader agenda to protect American workers and restore economic fairness.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and audience engagement, headlined by a wide-ranging interview with bestselling author and media veteran Bill O’Reilly. The hour opens with a deep dive into the political fallout from the recent government shutdown, which O’Reilly attributes to far-left consultants steering the Democratic Party into a failed strategy aimed at making pandemic-era Obamacare spending permanent. He argues that the shutdown hurt millions of Americans and yielded no real gains for Democrats, who now risk being branded as the “mean party” heading into the 2026 midterms. The hosts and O’Reilly also discuss the resurfacing of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which they believe was used as a distraction from Democratic missteps. The conversation shifts to the 2028 presidential race, where Clay and Buck predict Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the likely Democratic ticket. O’Reilly disagrees, citing Newsom’s poor record in California, including mass outmigration and corruption scandals, and suggests Maryland Governor Wes Moore as a more viable alternative. The trio also debate the dangers of artificial intelligence in politics and media, highlighting the rise of deepfake videos and AI-generated misinformation. O’Reilly references a false image involving President Donald Trump that was cited by Rep. Melanie Stansberry, warning that AI will make it increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from fiction. The hosts call for urgent reform of defamation and libel laws to protect public figures and citizens from malicious AI content. The second half of Hour 2 centers on the controversial H-1B visa program. Buck clarifies that Trump’s comments about lacking domestic talent were aimed at highly specialized roles, such as semiconductor manufacturing, where foreign expertise is temporarily needed. Multiple callers share firsthand experiences with H-1B hires, sparking a robust debate. A computer programmer from California claims foreign workers were paid less despite equal performance. A North Carolina business owner defends the program, citing higher productivity among foreign hires. An engineering manager warns of wage suppression and offshoring trends, while another caller shares how his son’s defense contractor job was outsourced to foreign engineers despite national security concerns. The hosts argue that the H-1B program should prioritize extraordinary talent and not be used to undercut American wages or create modern indentured servitude. They emphasize the need for a merit-based immigration system that protects American workers and ensures national competitiveness. Hour 2 concludes with reflections on the broader economic and cultural implications of offshoring, wage erosion, and the shifting incentives in the U.S. job market, particularly in engineering and tech sectors.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into breaking news, cultural commentary, and audience-driven debate, beginning with reports of a violent incident involving Alina Habba, a U.S. attorney in New Jersey, whose office was attacked by a bat-wielding suspect. The hosts highlight the growing concern over left-wing violence and express relief that Habba is unharmed. They also cover Senator John Fetterman’s hospitalization following a fall caused by a ventricular fibrillation episode, noting his humorous response and drawing parallels to historical political wit. The hour transitions into a critique of Michelle Obama’s recent comments on race and beauty, with Clay and Buck arguing that identity politics are eroding public discourse. They dissect her career trajectory, including her high-paying diversity role at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and question the merit of such positions. This leads into a broader discussion about the Democratic Party’s push for government-run grocery stores, citing examples from Seattle and New York City. The hosts mock the idea as reminiscent of failed socialist models like Cuba, and reference studies—including one from The New York Times—showing that increased access to healthy food does not necessarily change consumer behavior in low-income communities.

The conversation includes a call from a listener in Rochester, New York, who explains that theft and crime—not lack of demand—are driving grocery stores out of urban areas. The hosts agree, noting that store closures also eliminate local jobs and further destabilize communities. The discussion then returns to the H-1B visa debate, with callers offering contrasting views. One former tech executive from Boston defends the program, citing a lack of qualified American engineers and mathematicians due to declining educational standards. Another caller from Las Vegas refutes that claim, arguing that American programmers are just as capable and that corporate decisions are driven by cost-cutting and outsourcing. The hosts highlight the need for more American students to pursue hard sciences and technical fields, criticizing the shift toward less rigorous academic disciplines. As the hour wraps up, Clay and Buck reflect on the challenges of booking Democrat politicians on the show, noting that many rely on scripted talking points and avoid substantive debate. They joke about a hypothetical interview with Senator Chuck Schumer, predicting it would be unproductive. The show closes with light-hearted banter about dining apps, social credit scores for restaurant reservations, and a preview of Friday’s topics, including a continued focus on immigration, affordability, and political accountability.

The hosts also spotlight GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy as potential game-changers in reducing obesity-related healthcare costs, advocating for government subsidies to expand access.
